Saloon License Fixed at 1915.

Saloon License Fixed at 1915. NJ
here was an adjourned meeting Of
the village council last night and the
only business of any special Importance
was the fixing Of the saloon licenses for
the current year. The matter was dis
cussed by the members Of the council
who finally came to the conclusion that
500 would, taking all things into con-
slldeeration, be the proper figure. All
favored the amount except Recorder
Goulding, who voted against fixing the
license at this figure. J. G. Herdliska
asked permission to place scales in the
street and immediately in front of his
store adjoining Morneau'sl saloon, but
the council did not act on the matter
as it was of the opinion that it had no
authority to act, but that if anyone de-
sired to put scales in the street and
take chances they could do so. The
practice of letting parties have the fire
department hose for flooding for skat-
ing Kinks, etc., was considered very
bad policy and the marshal was in
structed to notify the fire department
officials not to allow any of the hose to
go out of quarters in the future. The
council authorized the recorder to or
der a car of soft coal from the Pioneer
Fuel Co., to be shipped from Duluth.
The coal is fire damaged and can be
bought at 1926 a ton, f. o. b. It is said
that it burns we'll and is cheap coal for
the money. IL. 49,. .sr~.: t::.. :,

POINTS ON BINDING TwINE.
The Farmer Should Know How Many Feet
he Gets for a Dollar.

That the farmer is often taken adj
vantage OF in the way of misrepresenta-
tion by the store keepers is an un-
doubted fact, and one instance that has
come to our attention in the last year
or two, that has been very profitable to
some of the dealers, is in the misrepre-
sentatiOn in regard to Binding Irvine.
OF late years there has been intro
duced into this market a grade called
Standard Manila, which is colored
Sisal to represent Manila. 1t is the
Standard Irvine of the Eastern manufac-
turers, where Sisal Irvine is more large
ly used than Manila, because it is more
easily obtainable, and their object in
cOloring it is, of course, to deceive.
Dealers handling this Irvine represent
that it is Manila Irvine. Manila Irvine
is never made less than 600 feet to the
pound, whereas Sisal Irvine is never
made over 500 feet to the pound, which
is 20 per cent less, and consequently
should be 20 per cent less in price.
The 600-fOot Manila Irvine sells in the
Eastern market for not less than two
cents more per pound than the Sisal.
and consequently the dealers that can
sell this colored Sisal for Manila Irvine
are making this additional profit. The
colored Sisal, called Standard, does not
contain any more feet per pound than
White Sisal, so that, if White Sisal
Irvine goes 500 feet to the pound, then
the Manila 600 loot Irvine, being 20
per cent longer should be that much
more in price, and Pure Manila 650-
foot Irvine, being so per cent more to
the pound than the sisal, should be 80
per cent more in price. Consequently
the lowest priced Irvine is not neces-
sarily the cheapest The milk in the
cOcoanut is, how many feet do you get
for dollar?

ginning OF solidification of the earth's
material. When the cooling of the
earth finally reaches its term the
change will be marked. Professor
Woodward's result is that the ratio of
the change of the day to its initial
length is twO-thirds of the product of
the loss of temperature multiplied by
its cubical contraction. For example.
if the primitive temperature of the
earth was 5000 deg. G, and if its cubi-
cal contraction was that of iron. the day
will be finally reduced about per
cent-that is to say, 10y about an hour
and a half. The lapse of time neces-
sary to bring this about is enormous.
Three hundred thousand millions of
years are required, according to Wood
ward, for % per cent of the total con
traction to take place. The length of
the day will not be sensibly affected
on the other hand after the expiration
of 100000 of millions of years. The
fall of meteOric dust tends to increase
the mass of the earth, and thus to
change the length of the day, but the
effect due to this cause is not above
One-two- hundred-thousandth of the eff

A SLOW PROCESS.
Cooling of the Earth as Relating to the
Length of the Day.


Professor Woodward, in the Popu-
lar Science Monthly. has lately given
an account of his researches on the
progressive cooling of the earth and its
relation to the length of the day. Does
the length of the day vary? Was it
formerly shorter than now? Will it, in
the future. be heightened? The an
swer depends upon the mass of the
earth. which varies, since meteOric
dust perpetually falls upon the surface
and thus increases the quantity of

sively cooled. Laplace concluded from
the data at his disposition that there
had been no sensibIe change in the
length of the day for 1000 years.
Woodward has repeated his calcula-
ton with new data. and concludes that
the duration OF the day has not chang
ed as much as half a second during
the first 100000 years after the be-

In such a commercial and industrial
age as this it is natural that discussion
of the old question as to the value of Il
college or academic education in bust

fed earnestness. Instead of resting con-
tent with the generally accepted fact
that the college education embellishes
our common life with the refnements
of a liberal culture, the public now APP
pears to he seriously demanding an an
swer to the question as to whether 1t
really has any bearing upon individual
success or upon the industrial and com
mercal progress of the race. President
G.. Stanley Hall of Clark University has
said that 1T depends largely upon what
kind of an academic course is taken
On such Il scale, he fancied, the old
classical course would mark very low,
while "some of the modern technical
and commercial courses and many or
those in the sciences would mark very
high" In his recent inaugural address
President Remsen of Johns Hopkins
University calls attention to the fact
that the connection between the prac-
tical work of the world and the work car
ried ON i'm the laboratories of the univer-
stiles is more intimate than is general
ly known. The most striking example
of the practical value of education in
the material development of a nation
has been seen in the growth of Ger
many during the last twenty years.
The German universities, through their
great investigators and the facilities
they have afforded for original re-
search. President Remsen believes

trial advancement than any other sin
gle agency. President Remsen in
