Prof. S. r. Thornton is introducing
to the public schools an admirably
contrived instrument for illustrating
astronomical or mathema tical geogra.
ph,; a means of illustrating problems
in that science that before were diff
cult tasks to the best instructors and
irksomc to the best pupils. 1t should
find place in the public schools of
the state, and in the homes Of those
familiar partially with the subject of
astronomy and the movement of the
heavenly bodies. Accompanying the
instrument comes a manual of facts
in mathematical geography, contain
ing fifty pages. The book treats of
every changing position of the earth to
the heavenly bodies, also changes of
seasons, day and night, zones, tides,
eclipses, climate, leap year, conjunct-
ions, zodiac and many other matters
that the student here will find apt IL
lastrations for. Its price, S35, places
it within reach of the public schools.

Washington, Aug. 1e.-Commission
er Rockhill has not reported to the
state department as to whether the
protocol provides for the destruction
of the Taku forts, but if the press
advices are correct, that the minis.
ters have failed to include this pro.
vision in the protocol, the result will
be in line with the desires of this
government from the outset. When
the first tentative plan of negotia:
tions was put forward, including the
razing of the Taku and other forts,
this government expressed doubt as
to the adyisability of such move,
and it has all along been ayerse to
including it in the protocol.

members of the Amalgamated asso-
citation in this city will vote not to
strike when the meeting is held.
Those who were not working on the
day shift Saturday and who are not
in favor of striking were busy visit
ing the homes of many of the mill
workers who will have say in decid-
ing upon the strike order when the
question comes to vote. One of the
old mill-workers who had spent half
his life at work in the Bayview plant
was willing to wager considerable
money on a ratio of two to one that
the men would vote not to strike.
This man says that four-flfths of the
lodge members are married and have
families. and majority OF these, he
says, will vote to remain at work.
The faction, he says, that is willing
and anxious to obey the mandate OF
President Shaffer is composed of
single men who would have no tron-
BILE in obtaining work elsewhere. 1t
is said that in case the lodge votes to
remain at work number of the
their own accord.
Morgan's Cooperative Plan.
New York. Aug. 19.-While no an
nouncement of Mr.. J. p. Morgan's plan
for bringing the workmen of the steel
corporation in closer touch with the
capital behind the corporation, by Civ
ing stock to the workmen, and thus
taking them into partnership, has yet
been made, it is expected that in view
of the situation in the strike, some
definite plan will be given out. Mr..
Morgan has not been seen at his office
for some days and Mr.. +. II. Gary,
chairman of the executive committee
of the United States Steel corporation
would not talk for publication on the
subject He said that at this time an
official announcement might compro-
mise the corporations plans or might
cause undue delay.
