TESTING CHILD'S ENDURANCE.

Endurance is perhaps the most i'm portant thing to study in figuring out how q child should be treated at school. says Edward Marshall in his interesting description of the recent Chicago school inveStiga tions. in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for March. For q lack of it must certainly mean in the school child q lack of mental endurance. Up to a point mind may triumph over body. The determined pupil may. by sheer power of will. force weak body to endure long school hours and close application. de-
 spite weak physical frame. But the child at school is. of course. in the formative period, and therefore undue strain is especially to be avoided dur ing those particular years which are spent at school: hence the usefulness of the ergograph, by all odds the most interesting of the machines used in the study of the Chicago school children.
 The ergograph has for it's base low table. To this table the child's arm is clamped and strapped so as to pre-
 vent. as far as possible, any motion
 whatever of any part except the mid
 dle finger. Over this finger q clamp is fastened with a string. to the end of
 which is fastened a weight. This
 weight. after reference to the previous
 records made of the child. is arranged so as to represent exactly seven per cent of the child's weight. After the apparatus has been perfectly adjusted a metronome the instrument used to beat time when children are practicing
 music. was started. The child under investigation was instructed to raise the middle finger of the locked hand every time the metronome beat. After thp middle finger was raised ii was to
 be lowered as steadily as possible. It
 was arranged that in ninety seconds the finger should be raised forty five times. or once every two seconds. A part of the apparatus is travelling pencil, which makes, in a waving line. a record on paper, showing the vary l ing heights to which the weight is raised with every effort of the child. l The usefulness of these ergographic records is easily apparent The sup piled missing link in the chain of tests making up the Chicago scheme of phy- sical child study.

THE EVENING NEWSPAPER

Some explanation is necessary to satiSfac ctOri1y account for the rapid strides which, during the past four or five years, have been made by the evening newspaper press ill the United States.
 Of course, it is easy to allege that improved machinery, extended meth OdS of transportation, the cOncentra- tion of population in large cities, speed in the transmission of intelligence by telegraph and telephone and the cheapening of typesetting and other forms of civilized progress account for the tremendous favor into which evening papers are coming. as well as the consequent immense increase Ob- served in their circulation everywhere: : but when all these things are cited and considered they still fall short of ac- counting for the fact that the people are rapidly beginning to read even ing newspapers exclusively.
 We think the real source of the wonderful progress made by the even ing press during the past four or five years, and which indicates that in the near future it is certain to take cir culatiOn and business entirely away from the morning press, is due to q combination of all these circum- stances. Improvements in machinery and speed in picture making and typesetting have enabled the evening papers to progress morally. intel lectually and newsily. This has de- velOped and satisfied d natural desire among the people. Most men like to take a paper home and read it by the tireSide at night, when the family is in repOSe and time is ample. A morn ing paper. on the contrary, must neces- Sarily be perused hastily and thrown away.
 So it appears to us that just in proportion as the evening papers Satis- fy the demand of the people for news and literature. they will take circula- tion and business away from the morn ing papers. In nearly every large city of the Union they have shown a ten dency recently to enlarge on these lines. Readers and advertisers are everywhere preparn for the change San Francisco Post.

they are q distinct deterrent to new bold buying i'll the absence of any sort of bull stimulant. The public ap- petite for stocks seems to have been amply satisfied for the present, and fresh inducements are needed to enter the market, either in the form of low CT prices or deals of some sort that will add to intrinsic values. There are endless rumors of just such deals, but most of these are so shadowy that buyers are generally on their guard and require some tangible evidence. It is a wholesome factor in the situation that while Wall street is still in an op- timistic mood, it is nevertheless eau tious. Railroad earnings continue to make most satisfactory gains, show ing that business throughout the coun- try as a whole is active and sound. The securities of many good roads, it is true, are selling at q comparatively high level and they may sell even high CT. but just now there are fewer pur- chasers and and it is quite probable that values will show a sagging ten dency for a period before any new pronounced upward movement can be inaugurated with success. In such event it is also likely that many of the deals now in progress will be delayed until q more favorable period for their consummation. Good news is usual ly preserved for q bull market, and vice versa. The market will be large ly influenced by the vast steel deal which completely overshadows all other negotiations. Some time may elapse before this is actually com pleted, and it seems hardly possible that q transaction of such magnitude can be carried through without some hitch or delay when the variety of in- terests affected is fully considered.''

Senator Aliens denunciatiOn of Ad- letter opposing the promotion of war rant officers in the navy because they had not enjoyed the social advantages which he considered requisite for commissioned officer in the navy. was one of the most severe ever heard on the floor of the senate. but it was full ly deserved. and it is hoped will be an effectual bar to any further promotion of Sampson. Mir Alien said: If William T. Sampson is the author Of those inducements he is a conceited ass and he ought to be marked down as such. We are not bringing up in this country a race of snobs. If I am correctly informed. there was q time when Sampson was no better than Charles Morgan. the gunner. He came from no better stock. I am glad to re- peat that we are not raising in the United States a class of brasS-ieweled aristocrats. If this rank and arrant coward is to be believed. the time may never come in this country when poor boy may attain to such a position as his abilities warrant him in holding. I want to say to Sampson and to his friends that I am responsible for what I say In the house the matter was referred to by Representative Berry of
 \pDtucky who said that S1mOSOu was of extremely humble origin him. self. and whatever refinement he had obtained was due to his service in the navy. and SulZer. of New York. who after strongly endorsing all that had been said by Mir Berry. had read a newspaper clipping denouncing Samp- sen, which he also endorsed.

s'The stock market is in a waiting condition," says Henry Clews in his, weekly letter. Many of the leading operators have gone south for period of rest, and. while it is not impossible for them to plan and execute at such d distance, still absenteeism of that sort tends to restrict stock exchange activity. This state of affairs is. of course, not helpful to vigorous bull movement, and there are two other factors which, though not seriously ad- verse. are certainly not helpful, one being the money market and the other the high range of values. There is no prospect of stringent money during tie next three weeks, yet rates are quite likely to rule somewhat frmer and bank reserves shrink. Until after the iirst of April we will probably not witness easier fates for money, al- though the interests of the biz nnan- eia1 1ee3er4 1te 1t,cl ttat 8hey will 2 ,fall pslalf nAry U

Much thoughtleSS criticism of dem- did not prevent q vote on the Philip pine amendment-makin MT McKin- ley Fuller of the SeaS"-tO the army appropriation bill. and some very ri- diculous stories are being told as to why they did not. Few democrats who will consider the situation as it was will admit the justice of this crit icism. It is perfectly true that the democratic senators could easily have spent the short remainder of this ses- sion in discussing this amendment, which is unquestionably bad and vic ious legislation. But that would have thrown the responsibility for the fail ure of the army and other appropria- ton bills and the consequent necessary extra session on the democrats. It was not fear that caused the demo- cratic senators to avoid that respon- sibflity. but good political sense. The Hanna-Mckinley crowd are fairly sitching for an excuse for an extra ses- sion, because in the next congress tl1ere will be much larger republican majority in the senate, in order to pass the ship subsidy bill and other jobs which the democrats have successfully blocked in this congress. and the dem ocratic senators declined to play into their hands, knowing that even if they did so it would only make q difference of a few weeks in the date of the act giving Mr Mckinley autocratic civil power in the Philippines. In exposing the viciotisness of the Philippine amendment, which they did thorough ly, the democratic senators did all that could be expected of the minority. The majority is responsible for legis- lation.

The Cuban amendment to the army appropriation bill. which had the re- markable merit of being approved as a whole by all the senators, regardless of party. left Mir Mckinley no choice. He was compelled to announce the abandonment of his intention to call an early extra session of congress. The amendment leaves nothing in connec- ton with Cuba to cali an extra ses- sion for. But his heart is true to Hanna and the ship subsidy job, and he will wait until the next regular session of congress to get it through, if any reasonable excuse for calling an extra session can be discovered ill the next four or five months

This is an extremely difficult matter, stated Dr. Smith in an interview We'd nesday night, and after all the tests known to science have been applied it is barely possible to guess at the pres ence of the infectious germs, even though the water contains them. He said that the leading authorities on the matter take no stock in the trustworti- ness of any method of testing infected water.
 At the close of the meeting recom- mendation was unanimously carried in regard to the bill for a tuberculosis hos pital now being considered by the legis- lative committee on humane institutions at Hartford. Attorney Newton was in st1ucted to go to Hartford and urge the passage of the bill, provided that it be favorably reported by the committee.

THE METHODIST CONVERTING CE
Continued From First Page.)

NCOnClnueQ From ElrSt PaSe.) period of confusion the resolutions were presented, when very few ministers on the conference floor fairly realized what their true import were as affecting Methodism's attitude toward an indi- vidual who had renounced its doc trines.
 Scarcely minute after they had passed Rev. Dr. James M Buckley, ed itor of the Christian Advocate, the chief organ of the church, hurriedly entered the auditorium and made his way to the altar rail.
 MT. President" he said, II find that while called to the telephone in another part of the building for three minutes resolutions have been passed without debate, in favor of a man who has left our midst to join an unevangelical body.
 T move that the rules be suspended and the motion reconsidered."
 Rev. Dr. Downey objected on the ground that it would be unwise to again discuss the doctrines of the Christian Scientists after the debate of yesterday.
 Dr. Buckley, however, carried the point and spoke as follows: Shall we vote resolutions to a man who has left us to join hostile force? Shall we recognize in this way man who mas done an evil act? Such an act would permit the setting up of atheistic prin- ciples right in this city. I move that the resolutions be rescinded.
 Those resolutions do nothing more than show the regret of this body for its action of yesterday. They indorse the character and career of man who has acted contrary to the interests of this church They are our recommend- ation to the public and Scientists alike Up to the time MT. Simonsen was h. fected by these bacilli he was a simple minded, serious, genial brother, and re- spected as a friend. But now he lea 1cs our midst and makes no denial that he has been coquetting with superstition for four years"
 Turning to Dr. Chadwick. pr. Buck ley cont.nued: Tt seems to me that you, as presiding elder, showed far too much indulgence in the case of this brother when, knowing that he had leanings toward Christian Scientists, you allowed him to remain as pastor of the Norwegian church. Can you deny it?"
 Tt is an error,' replied Dr. Chad wick.
 Nevertheless. continued Dr. Buck ley, what I am now saying to your. face, others have said behind your back.
 Christian Scientists must be opposed because they deny every doctrine of the church-the personality of God, the Deity of Christ, the atonement and prayer to a personal God. It is the most subtle form of heresy which the church has encountered since the third century. because those who do not ac- cept the gospel claim the power of heal ing.
 "A man who repudiates the doctrines
