up mail box at the roadside, as
shown in the illustration. One end
of the box is left open to receive
the mail. The round disc is signal
to denote there is mail in the box;
it is held in it's upright position by
the weight attached to the lower end
Of the handle. Whoever brings the
mail, puts it in the box and drops
the weight which raises the signal,
which can be seen from the house.
When we get the mail out the
weight is hung up on nail driven
in the side of the box near the bot
tom edge. This allows the signal to
drop down by the side Of the box as
shown by dotted lines. Our box is
made of roofing tin, except the bot
tom and end, which are wood. The
signal should be painted different
color from that of the box to render
it more easily seen.-E. E. Higgins,

COUNTRY SCHOOL BUS.

as q permanency now for over five
years." writes John Gould, of Ohio,
to Rural New Yorker.
"To my mind one of the greatest
benefits of the centralized schools is
in abolishing the class-ship incident to
the division of rural schools. Each
neighborhood thus becomes a class,
with but little interest in the COM
munity at large, and the matters of
acquaintance of children in different
parts of town are slight. Now all
the children of the town are of one
community, and merit wins. One
scholar is as good as another, and
avenues to merit.
''It is not here contended that the
centralized school is yet perfect. It
is in state of evolution, but each
step seems the better move toward
solving the question of better ed
ucation for the rural boy and girl.
In average attendance the new plan
far exceeds the old. In some towns
the attendance is IS per cent. better
on the average. 1t is fully that in
one township, Then it promises to
add at least two years more school
ing to the school life of the pupil.
To be taught along ever unfolding
and new lines in study inspires,
where the ever going back to re-
traverse old study byways causes
listless and lifeless ways, even to de-
sertion of school life.
"The cost is less in most instances.
The transportation of school dis
trict to central point is less than
the cost of it's separate maintenance.
In some towns the centralized plan
saves hundreds of dollars. In some
the cost is about the same. In
few, where causes have been beyond
the boards control, the cost is more,
but in all cases the instruction vast
ly compensates' for slightly increased
cost"

SUBMARINE TUNNEL FROM EUROPE To

recently proposed to the governments Of
Spain and Morocco the construction OF
tunnel under the Strait Of Gibraltar for
the double purpose of establishing rail-
giers and Of bringing Morocco into closer
connection with European civilization.
Mr.. Berlier believes that the con-
struction of submarine tunnel from
Vaqueros bay, in Spain, to Tangier, iii
Morocco, is perfectly feasible, as the
depth of the sea in this vicinity does not
exceed 800 feet.
The submarine length Of the tunnel
would be nearly 20 miles, the entire

of the rest of their troubles out came the
Hornet, and in prose and verse made
sport of them in the most fendishly sat
irical manner.
People in Houlton to this day don't ex-
actly understand just how the bold SOL
diery Of the village was restrained that
night from pulling down the cobbler shop
and riding Editor Davis out of town
astrde of the lever of the old press. But
all the authorities and the wise men of
the place joined in entreating that no vio-
lence be done, to the shame of the town.
There is hint that even the governor
himself said word in remonstranee. Da-
Wis wasn't mobbed, but it was made plain
to him that Houlton wasn't sufficiently
I healthy place for him to issue anothsr
paper and live.
So the Hornet went down to Bangor
and hid away and still published. 1t kept
its name the Hou ton Hornet, however. 1t
still devoted its sting to Aroostook TANKS.
On several occasions infuriated men have
started for Bangor to wipe the thing off
the earth. But two hundred miles of
railroad travel has deterrent if not mol
lifyng effect. So the Hornet has kept
buzzing away.
BY this curious reluctance of people
to be mixed up in bad matter, offended
parties have kept their hands off Cobbler
Davis. Therefore he has been growing
more perky than ever. But at last he has
gone too far 1t Is felt that because a
cobbler owns a hand press and is sour
against al the world is no reason why

length being over Is miles, and the max-.
imum grade rs feet per 100. 1t is pro-
posed to establish railway connection
in Europe by means of a line following
the Spanish coast and passing through
Tarifa and Algeciras. In Morocco a line
would be constructed from Tangier Is
Ceuta, Tetuan, Melilla and Remours,
connecting with the Algerian railway
system at Tiemcen.
Mr.. Berlier is convinced that in bull I
ing the tunnel sufficiently wide for two
tracks no greater obstacles will be en-
countered than those which have been
successfully overcome at the Simplon
tunnel in the Alps, the Alpine tunnel in
Colorado and the Great Northern rail
road tunnel through the Cascade rango.
Mr. Berlier believes that, by using a
new process which is his secret, the post
would not exceed 1919 per meter tss.35
inches). This is what the Simplon tun-
mel cost. Mr.. Berlier also thinks that
by working simultaneously at both ends
of the tunnel two miles and half cou'd
be completed annually, and that thus
the work could be finished in seven
years. In this case, the total cost of
the tunnel would be about $23, 72s;OOo
Placing the cost of the line from Tan
gier to Algiers at $17,S70,000 the entire
connecting line from Spain to Algiers
would cost $43.425, 600.

who reared her has come here from
Butte, Mont, where Miss Rohr lived at
/ least eight years, or until she went on
the stage, and, declaring she is offspring
of his, says he will fight for her through
the court of last resort.
A strange feature of the case Is that
both sets OF self-styled parents are
named Rohr and both admit they came
from Belgium, but they deny relation
ship. To complicate the matter the
young woman bears enough of what
might be called family resemblance to
all concerned to add visual strength to
the claims of each. She is tall and dark,
with black hair and bright. blue-gray
eyes, popularity of Mrs. Rosette Rohr,
the woman she now considers her
mother. and as prominently distinctive
features of James Rohr, the claimant
from the Montana town.
AS the story goes. a Carline Rohr,
daughter of Henry j. and Rosette Rohr.

ancestral hall in Antwerp in May, 1888.
She started hime, but was never again

answering her description was carried
hastily aboard a Red Star steamship

ents the light of the household had been
brought to this country to illuminate
some other hearthstone, and they hur-
r:ed across the wet spot to do what they
could to prevent 1t.

the quest futile. he settled in Baltimore
and with his little remaining capital en1-

Something strangely familiar in the
Poppaea attracted their attention, and
they looked over the program to see
whom she might be.
IT'S Carline!" shouted Rohr. Mrs.
Rohr promptly tainted. and had not the
stage director ordered the lowering of
the curtain at this point the drama
might have come to a confused halt.

But it was precious singing fun.
At last the Hornet ventured little too
far. The Houlton company of the Ma

the time Of the Spanish war. and was
obliged to come disconsolately back from
