SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Efforts are being made to establish
, university at Jerusalem for the
Jewish students expelled from Euro
pean universities.
The University of Calcutta is said
to be the largest educational corpo-
ration in the world Every year it
Examines over 10000 students.
The school board of Newport, r. l.,
has elected a colored woman as
teacher in the public schools She
is the first negress to be so honored
In the New England states.
Of the IA women who took doctors
degrees at one on other of the Ger
man universities last year, eight were
Americans and six Germans.
The celebrated Academy of Nun
Bter, which, under Catholic influences,
has long ranked nearly equal to a
university by a decree of Emperor
Williams, has been created a uni
versity.
The assembly minutes for 19o1-19O2
show the presbytery of Chicago to
consist of 1856 ministers and ss
churches, a loss of one each over the
previous year. The whole number of
communicates is 22,71S, a gain of 922,
or little over four per cent.
1t is asserted that the Jews free
school, Spitalfields, is the largest
school not only in London, but any
where. There are A classrooms for
boys and 81 for girls. Each room is
fitted as completely as modern in
Vention can make it. The fact that
the school has never been closed ow-
Ing to the spreading of any epidemic
indicates the sanitary perfection of
the enormous structure.
The late King Albert of SaXony was
interested in many other things than
craftsmanship, and it was owing part
ly to his encouragement that modern
music and the modern drama were so
well represented in Dresden. He pre-
served his interest in university and
school life. To the end of his life
he kept up the habit of attending an
occasional lecture at the university
and sometimes he would call unex-
pectedly at some public school and
take a seat next the teacher to whom
he remarked: Don't let me disturb
you" and then listened to the recita-

ALASKAN EXPLORATION.
Brooks, Reports Having Success
fully Crossed Beluga River.

Word has just been received from
Mr.. Alfred II. BROOKS, geologist in
charge of the work of exploration
which the United States geological
survey is conducting in Alaska, that
his party have successfully crossed
the Beluga river. This party recently
landed in southern Alaska, and ex-
poets to penetrate the region in the
vicinity of Mount Mckinley as far as
the Tanana river, whence they will
proceed to Circle City and the Forty
Mile district, if the season is not too
far advanced, or will descend the Yu-
kon river, of which the Tanana is the
principal tributary on the south, if it
is too late to go farther north. Much
of the region through which they will
pass is entirely unknown, and the
Beluga river is supposed to be the
greatest obstacle to progress. Mr..
Brooks reports that with the aid of
boat he safely swan his entire out
fit over this stream. He also reports
that their first view of Mount McKin-
ley was had from Mount Sushitna,
distance of 1925 miles. Mount Nc
Kinley is the highest mountain on the
North American continent - 20, AGA
feet above sea level-and lies in the
midst of an extremely rugged region
which has never been explored.

CoCOANUTS AS FUEL.
This Possibly May Be New Use for
COpra, the Great Pacific
Product

| Copra consists of dried cocoanuts.
In view of the enormous tracts of
land throughout the tropic zone that
have lately been planted with cocoa
nuts, it is remarkable that copra
has maintained it's price, states a
western exchange.
From both coasts of Africa and
from the West Indies the export has
been steadily increasing and yet
though the world seems to be easily
sated with every other kind of tropi-
cal product of copra it never seems
to have enough.
Handicapped by a sea carriage of
$4,000 miles the South sea island
copra has always commanded local
price of from $40 to $55 ton, and
now that a soap and candle factory
has been established in Australia, it
is more likely to rise than fall.
Ten years ago most of the copra
went direct to Europe on German
sailing ships, which came out to Aus
tralia with a general cargo, and load
ed copra in the islands. In the long
homeward voyage of from four to
six months the rats and the little
bronze copra beetles tunnel through
the cargo destroying large quanti-
ties.
On arrival at the oil mills it is
crushed by rollers and the refuse,
after every drop of oil has been
squeezed out of it, is pressed into
oil cake for fattening cattle. The
oil is then resolved into glycerin and
stearine from which more than half
the candles and soap used in the
world are made.
At first sight it would seem more
economical to press the oil on the
spot, and so save the freight upon the
waste material; but the explanation
is that oil must be shipped in tanks
or in casks. Ships fitted with tanks
would have to make the outward voy-
age empty, and casks, if shipped in
''shooks," require expert coopers and
when soaked in oil become a prey to
borers.
1t is possible that new use may
be found for copra as fuel for war
ships. 1t burns with fierce heat.
It is very easily stored and handled,
and it is only one-third more bulky
than coal it's disadvantage in this re-
spect being more than compensated
by it's superior heating qualities and
it's freedom from ash.
1t is expensive, but in naval war
fare where quick steam is everything
the dearest fuel may often be the

Tyhe ONLY Safe Position.

One of those dark tragedies which
always cloud the background of Chi
cago's continuous drama, pictured
there on scale of sin as colossal as
every other element of the life of this
colossal city, was in the recent mys-
terious death of respectable married
woman in disreputable saloon She
was not a drinking person in the or
dinary sense of the phrase, but it is
admitted that she made some use of
beer as beverage. When therefore
she became lost on Chicago streets
after dark, and apparently sympathet-
ic strangers offered her glass of beer
as refreshment-so the police theory
runs-she was willing to take it. The
liquor seems to have been drugged and
draining the glass was but the prelude
to death. Had the woman, however.

PEOPLE DRINK LESS NOW.
The Rural Free Delivery System Has
Effected an Unexpected
Reform

James L. Sphinx, one of the best
known travelling men of the north
west, has just returned FROM long
trip through the country districts
of Minnesota and reports the sue
cess of rural delivery along line
that can hardly have been antici-
pated by those instrumental in es-
tablishing the system.
In one of the towns where Mr..
Sphinx sold goods he overheard sa-
loon keeper discussing rural delivery
and advancing arguments why the
plan should be done away with. The
main point he made was that it
ruined business.
"Why," said Mr.. Saloon Keeper,
"when men came into town every
day for their mail they were sure
to drop into my place while they
waited; everybody drank, everybody
treated everybody else and it made
trade lively. Now the farmers come
into town but two or three times
week and more often but once, and
the worst of it is they don't happen
10 come in together, for they only
come in for groceries or some other
supplies and no two mems supplies are
apt to give out at exactly the same
time. This, you see, does away with
the matter of treating and reduces
trade tremendously. It's running
business, tell you"
Mr.. Sphinx is an observing man,
and the saloon keepers point of
view interested him. He took pains
to inquire of the business men he
traded with as to the correctness of
the saloon keepers judgment, find
ing to his surprise that it was gen
orally conceded that rural delivery
has materially affected the liquor
traffic in the small towns and gives
promise of being a most effective
means of increasing temperance
among the farmers.
"Uncle Sans method of work and
it's effect, although they were not
primarily intended, must give the tenn
perance workers food for thought
when contrasted with those of the Car
rie Nation ilk and the canteen howl
ers," was the observation of the lead
ing merchants of one of the largest of
the towns visited.-Minneap

Mr.. Sanders, scowling at his rival,
boldly asked her to be his wife.
"Now, Mr. Atwater, shall be

Mr. Atwater, without mincing mat
ters, also scowling at his rival, made
similar proposition.

Sensitive Eggs.

An egg in the process of Matching
is remarkably sensitive to vibration,
says an expert in the breeding of
fowls. The rumble of a train or the
passage of wagon along the street
will spoil whole incubator full of
eggs if the faintest vibratory wave
reaches the apparatus. Even such a
little thing as the banging of door
in some other part of the house will
destroy the chances of Matching out
a brood where care has not been
taken to place the incubator beyond
the reach of such disturbances. A
thunderstorm always gives breeders
a scare, as thousands of eggs may be
spoiled by sudden heavy thunder

THE ADVANTAGE OF A
CONCENTRATED VISION
1Original.J

tOriginaLJ
Ruth lnwood was a very pretty girl,
or would have been had she not been
cross eyed. She did not know that
the trouble could be corrected and suf-
fered the blight on her beauty with be-
coming patience. She would some
times use one eye, sometimes the
other.
Ruth had three suitors = Mr.. San
ders, well to do merchant; Mr.. At
water, an attorney in good practice,
and George Carter, a young fellow
with nothing in his pocket and no
prospects. The first two were elderly
and unattractive. Atwater was ia
vored by Ruth's father, Sanders by
her mother and Carter by Ruth her
self.
81 tell you, ma" said Mr.. Inwood
to his wife while he was shaving one
morning, Ruth is going to take At
water. Did you notice last evening
that she paid attention to everything
he said, scarcely glancing at San
ders y
"Pshaw, pap' replied the lady. Ruth
was using her left eye. That kept
her face turned toward Atwater. She
was really looking at Sanders"
Then followed the usual wrangle
whenever the parents got on this sub
ject.
1t so happened that Mr.. Atwater and
Mr.. Sanders made up their minds to
settle the matter between them on
the same evening, and it so happened
that Ruth had that day received a
long admonition from her father as
to the folly of letting slip so desirable
a suitor as his favorite and Il similar
admonition from her mother as to the
object of her own choice. The poor
girl was in a state of mind bordering
on insanity when the maid announced
Mr.. Sanders Ruth went into the par
lor intending to accept him and thus
put an end to the matter Sanders,
who was a plain business man, had
barely seated himself before he began
his proposal with a statement of his
affairs. He was coming to the point
when Mr.. Atwater stepped into the
room. Sanders who suspected At
waters intention, set his jaws firmly
and was going right on when he dis
covered that the young lady was look
ing at his rival. Atwater, who had
caught the direction of Ruth's other
eye, supposed she was looking at San
ders. The latter stopped speaking
and the former maintained silence.
Ruth" said Sanders presently. 'if
you will give me your attention for
few moments longer l will leave you
with Mr.. Atwater."

The Right Color.

Glib Briggs, who has been on a pros
pectlng trip near the Mountain House
has returned to this city with a lot of
rock. The rock, which is decom-
posed quartz, seems to be the richest
ind yet reported. A ledge two feet
wide has been uncovered with a seam
SIX inches wide that is exceptionally
rich. Mornings from the pay streak
give close to hundred colors most of
It coarse gold.
1t would make the amateur prospec-
tor feel like millionaire to take look
at the colors that come from this rock.
The rest of the rock pans well, even to
the groupings. A systematic prospect
is being made. A house wagon has
been taken to the ground where every
thing necessary for mining is at hand.
The owners of the property are Gilbert
Briggs, Art Honsinger, A. @. Pratt
Clarence Hannigan and Sam Martin.
The boys have certainly got the right
color and it looks like big thing for
all concerned.
