Education and Wealth.

Mr.. Carneeie's $10.OO0,COO gift to the Uni
se.sity OF Glasgow Is temporarily cast in the
shSue cY the indefinite announcement at Chi
cago that the middle Of the century will see a
university with a $50. 900. 600 endowment, due
TO the muniflcence Of John D. Rockefeller The
Fsstnsss of this proposition has staggered even
Chicago, and 1t Will not be strange If con-
sentative minds may be led to doubt whether
tho plan Of pouring money into the colleges
VIII produce any better characters any ADLER
minds than the colleges which thought them
selves lucky If they had $500 clear and
which have turned out such men as Webster,
Garfield Harrison and Mckinley -
The furore which has arisen over the idea
Of creating institutions of learning by drawing
checks on overgrown bank accounts makes it
pertinent to raise the question whether either
lore, learning or the formation of character
can be purchased with wealth. There is tor
much disposition to think that culture and
ability can be created by applying money in
the same way we apply guano phosphate
to tie barren landry the ton Even the
si9lile might carry it's instruction.; for If you
visit a ageGarm you will find thai where
fertilizer and nothing else is applied it pro-
drces nothing but weeds and darkness.
The announcement is a great advertisement
for Chicago; but, though Mr.. Rockefeller and
Mr.. Carnegie inspired by the best Of mo-
tives. tits tme to insist that education is not
and cannot be matter Of money. Though
the canny Scots could not let Mr. Ca1negic's
Fift go they had a strong feeling that one of
the great factors which has made Scotch edu-.
cation SO successful were the effort and self
try Vc have had plenty Of Instances Of the
strength Of personal character won by educa-
ton in institutions where both pupils and in
structors were what would now be classed as
poverty stricken. Abraham Lincoln may be
deemed outside the subject having had no
regular education at all: but there is no dis
putting that of the greatest factors in the
experience which formed that wonderful
character was the struggle with which he won
las way fr,,ra absolute want to knowledge ana
greatness ~ u.s..
Sober thought on this vital subject may raise
another question. That Is whether In the
whole system Of education one fundamental Is
not too much overlooked The small percent
age Of \illiteracy and yet the prevalence Of
crime among those supposed to be instructed
raise the doubt whether, even before reading
and writing the schools should not teach the
clements OF morality. Apart from any $50.
tartan instruction the necessity Of teaching1
as essentials Of human development, honestly
generosity, respect for rights Of others and ab1
stention from cruelty Or falsehood in any form
seems fundamental. And possibly the neces-
s1ty for insisting pure and independent
even If primary system Of morals Is not wholly
absent from the higher education.-P1ttsburs

what you have done as merely ex-

New Metho cd OF Rafting Lops.

New Method OF Rafting Logs,
A departure from old methods of log
transportation has been recently made
on the Columbia river. This consists
in building huge RATS so substantially
that they can be towed to San Fran
cisco. 1t is no small undertaking to
put to sea with stupendous, unwield-
ly raft and successfully tow it almost
thousand miles; but the trip has
been accomplished a number of times.
and promises to become regular BUSH
ness. The logs are principally for pill
ing and posts, and one raft will con-
tain as much as 100000 lineal feet.
The RATS are built somewhat in the
shape of a colossal cigar, and each
log is fitted carefully into it's place.
The whole is fastened together with
tons of chains, till the danger of go-s
ing to pieces at sea is reduced to
minimum

Ants That Raise Mushroom..

Professor, w. NJ !. Wheeler describes
species of ants which raise "mush-
rooms for food. They first cut leaves
into small pieces and carry them into
their underground chambers. Then
they reduce the leaves to pulp, which
they deposit in heap. In this heap
the mycelium of species of fungus
finds lodging andsthe subterranean
conditions faYoring such result min
ute dwellings are produced on the
vegetable mass. These are the emush-
rooms, ! which constitute almost the
sole food OF the colony of ants that
cultivated them.

All along the Pacific coast from Lower
California, and even farther to the south,

known as the amber fish; IN another the
white salmon, while In the santa Catalina
channel and among the southern California
Islands, where 1t is found In the greatest
numbers, 1t is the yellOwtail, and we'll

hsh, ranging from twenty to eighty pounds,
and from three TO six feet in length, with
a large head, beautiful eyes its median-line

the back a marvellous combination of green

fishes tint the ocean with green and yellow
