the dangers.

three of their best men. In each state

At the recent matriculation examina-
tions of the University of Breslau, 4
young German peasant with his moth
er and sisters passed with honors. The
mother came first on the entire list.
In order to encourage the young man
in his work, his mother and sister had
since his childhood studied his lessons
with him. A less spectacular version of
family cooperation goes on daily in one
of the most beautiful homes at fash
ionable resort. Directly after breakfast
the father and mother, two college
daughters, one grown and one young
son, join in a half-hour's spelling
down" Thanks to this little ruse, the
boy, who several teachers had declared
could never be taught to spell, is over
coming an ignorance which would have
seriously crippled his collegiate course,
and been a source of modification all
his life.

The "play" of intellect, to use
vacation pun, constitutes the delight
of learning, and is often its truest in
spiration. A young girl at hotel
table, some years ago, undertook to
quiet a restless child by making for
him little figures which she modelled
from bread crumbs rubbed between
her fingers. The rapidly growing pro-
cession of Noah's-ark animals at
tracted the attention of gentleman
opposite 1t was the sculptor Thomas
Ball, who afterward told the girl she
had unusual talent, took her to his
own studio, and taught her to model
in clay and afterward to work in
marble. An interesting side-llght on
the pretty incident is that the young
girl had nodded her figures undis-
turbed by tableful of witnesses. and,
on the other hand, Mr.. Ball seated her
in the studio with her back toward
his own chair, because he could not
possibly work while anybody looked
on"

Graduates of the Naval Academy in
Annapolis who have attained the
highest rank have heretofore been
sent abroad for postgraduate course
in naval architecture at Greenwich or
Glasgow or the Ecole Polytechnique
in France. 1t ought to be matter of
pride to Americans that hereafter
they will study at the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology. The Annapo-
lis graduates have always taken the
highest honors abroad. The authori
ties in Washington do not say that the
foreign schools no longer have any
thing to teach our young men, but
they do say that they have nothing
which is not now taught as well or
better here.

1t may be news to some readers
that English is the language of the
Japanese foreign office, both in its in
tereourse with foreign diplomatists
and its telegraphic correspondence
with its own representatives abroad.
All kilograms from Tokyo to the for
eign agents Of Japan are written and
ciphered in English, and the replies
are in the same language. The

Denver, Aug. PA cowboy tourna-
ment, the most unique and thrilling
spectacle the West could afford, Will
be the star attraction of the first day
of the carnival this fall. The commit
tee on this part of the program have
decided on the feature as submitted
by j. NJ. Kuykendali, and preparations
will at once begin for n wild west,
cow-punching, "broncho busting" eXhi-
bition that will surpass anything of a
similar nature since the early days Of

dorsed the plan. To bring the great
riders to the tournament n prize belt.
worth $500. will be offered for the
best rider, and its owner will be rec
ognized as the champion of the world
in that line of daring equestrianism.
Eighteen states, all west of the Mis-
souri,, and having, in part, the old fla
vor of the plains, will be asked to send
fearless riders, each state sending
three of its picked men. a state con-
test in each case will decide who shall
have the honor of representing the
commonwealth at this gathering, ana
thus the flower of western rough riders
will participate in the Denver con-
tests.
"The chief thing about this cowboy
tournament" said Mr.. Kuykendall,
who is enthusiastically entering into
the plan, sis that nothing like it has
ever been held in the West, or any
where, for that matter. Under the
plan of choosing these riders we will
have here in Denver the pick of all the
cow-punchers in the West and in Old
| Mexico"
The judges will be old-time cattle
men and ranchers who staged in the
! early days. The chief guest is to be

MINERS HAZARDOUS WORK.
Surely the laborer Underground is Worthy
 of Hrs Hire.

An accident, such as has occurred m the Smuggler Union mine at Telluride brings to attention, with the vividness of a flash of lightning, the dangers of the miners avocation. The miner sells more than his labor, more than the physical strength which he must have to be a miner, more than the skill without which he cannot hope to com mand full miner wages, He burrows far into the rock. He uses powerful machinery and dangerous explosives, the surroundings of his calling are trying, and the exertions which it de- mands are arduous, and death walks by his side from the moment he enters tunnel or shaft until he emerges again to the surface.
 A property equipped with life-pro- tecting appliances and ventilating ap- paratuS, the best that human skill can devise, may be made the tomb of its miners by some sudden catastrophe; and this applies to precious metal and coal miners alike.
 A great accident shocks the public mind, but the annual roll of .he dead or maimed is swollen by the almost daily lesser accidents which occupy only half dozen UT dozen lines in the newspapers and arc passed over with a casual glance.
 Surely is the laborer under the earth worthy of his hire. Denver News.

He points out that if magnetic is used instead of or dinary rock in the shape of fragments, and magnetic sand or ilmenite sand instead of common sea sand, concrete blocks can be obtained which have all the strength of the ordinary concrete blocks, and which weigh, when i'm mersed in water, exactly twice as much as the ordinary blocks. Such an increase in weight makes the magnetic blocks far superior as regards resist ance to the waves. Work constructed with magnetic blocks will stand when other work will be destroyed.
