A drug clerk was waiting on school
marin, who was buying some school
books. She asked for copy of Steele's
Physics. The clerk looked blank, but
made thorough search of all the shelves
on the patent medicine row and returned
to the schoolmarm and said:
81 am sorry, madam. but we are just
out of Steele's Physics, but we have
others just as good, however"
"What are they?" asked the teacher,
somewhat puzzled.

IN NATfR Of MONT PELFF

William Trowbridge, in BLACK and
White" an English publication.
writes the following story Of an adven-
ture in Martinique:
We were handful of English peo-
pie who inhabited the old French Gre
ole city of ST. Pierre. ''Fou Anglais,"
the native people called us in their
soft, rapid patois, because we did mad
things in the way Of exploring their
beautiful island-things very harm
less and natural to persons in strange
countries, but utterly impossible to the
well-regulated Creole. But Martin.
ique, the Pearl of the Antilles, was too
fascinating to leave without having
seen 1t thoroughly. So on fete. days
and Sundays we half-score mad Eng.
lish exiles slipped the chains OF work
that tied us to the busy old-world
town and secured Martinique like the
common or garden tourists.
At the end of three months | had
seen the blackened ruin, in tangle
Of aloes and wild-banana trees, that
was the birthplace of the Empress
Josephine; had seen H. M. s. Dia-
mond, as a rock in the sea near Fort
de France Is called, where in the grand
old wars handful of Rodney's blue
jackets for several months laughed to
scorn all efforts of the redOubtable De
Grasse to dislodge them; had seen
Behanzin, king of Dahomey, exile and
prisoner of state in Martinique, and
photographed him in the midst Of his
wives and children; | had seen the
Fontaine Claude, when high above
the sea in the balmy air of bamboo
forest the fever-stricken French SOL
diers battle away the malaria in a hot
sulphur spring that gushes out OF the
rocks; | had seen the wonderful
Grande Anse, where the Atlantic
breaks on the shore in pillows half a
mile long; had made myself hail

The great desert in the forbidden
hinterland of Tripoli, northern Afrl-
ca, which has not been visited by Eu-
ropeans for SO years, has now been
explored by Mr.. Edward Dodson, q
young Englishman, who went out last
March. The members Of the expedi-
ton experienced much difficulty with
the authorities. At one place they
were put under arrest and on two occa-
sions threatened by Arabs, who pre-
pared to ambush them. One of the
most notable things on the journey to
Murzuk was the great pertified forest.
For ten days they travelled across an
area of petritied trees varying in cir
conference from seven feet to few
inches. Every branch of this forest
was Of course lying prone. and this,
together with the presence Of marine
shells, showed that this part Of the
great Sahara had at one time been
submerged.
One night they were surrounded by
thunder storms. No less than five
distinct storms were in progress all
around, and the guns and spears of the
party became surrounded by halo of
phosphorescent light, which greatly
alarmed the superstitious attendants,
who regarded this as fourth judg-
ment upon them for travelling with
"unbelievers." -London Mail.

Two miles out Of the town we
passed the Usine Guerin, one of the
largest sugar factories in Martinique,
which in these very days has been
obliterated by the lava river as 1t
rushed with incredible velocity down
the slope Of Mont Pelee! Five miles
further on at the fishing village OF
Precheur we found the parish priest
pruning his rose-trees in quaint Gre
ole garden. He made us breakfast
with him, and an hour later we were
climbing the mountain on our hardy
Creole ponies.
After three hours hacking our way
through the dense underbrush, we
came to a vast, rocky clearing, and
saw towering in front Of us in blaze
of dazzling sunshine the round sum-
NIT of Mont Pelee-the shaved noun
tain, for there is no vegetation worth
speaking of on the slopes Of its last
one thousand feet. Beneath us, over
veritable green sea OF tree-ferns
and bamboos, lay the Caribbean as
smooth as turquoise. In spite Of the
rough climb, having to hack every
foot of our way through the forest, we
were not fatigued, for balmy breeze
like an anodyne was blowing down
the mountain, and we were too high
to feel the sun.
Looking away from the mountain,
the view was magnificent; the whole
of Martinique was spread out beneath
us, and on one hand st. Lucia like .
gray ghost rose out of the filmy sea,
while on the other, seeming almost
near enough to touch, lowered the
green gigantic volcano Of Dominica

VALUE OF MANUAL TRAINING.


This Kind OF Education.
A report recently made by DR.. Hen
ry II. Belheld, director OF the Chicago
manual training school is of great In
terest, This institution was the first
Of independent manual training
schools in this country and since its
foundation in 1888 II has graduated
TAI youths out OF total membership
OF about 1000.
According to DR.. Belheld, out Of IT,
total number OF graduates one-ha..

them 10 take technical courses. The
other half have gone to work at an
average age of IS, commanding from
Sc to SIS week in architects offices
and machine shops. 1t may be taken
for granted that very few 60 into
trade, as their training has been who'll
ly technical and mechanical. The rec
ord made by these TAI graduates is
interesting. There are 73 in schools
OF technology SO in schools of litcra-
ture, 10 in schools OF law ana
schools Of medicine. Seven are design
ers in manufacturing establishments,
80 are foremen, 43 are draughtsmcH
are machinists, IS are e'ectri 'ans

other 113 of the graduates are either
dead or unaccounted for.
DR.. Belfield has observed that o.
those graduates which have taken
technical courses in colleges the great
or number have gone into electrical
engineering, with mechanical, civil
and architectural engineering follow
ing in order. A vast majority of
those who have become lawyers make
speciality of patent law, for which
their training has especially fitted
them. The records OF those students
who failed to graduate are not given
but from the record made by those that
did, it is easy to believe that such as
+, manned long enough to gain a per-
manent impression have done corre-
spondingly AS well. Chicago's is only
one of several great schools of its kind,
pnd the work done there has doubtless
been done elsewhere Such record
as this should relieve the most doubt

This will BIZ the first time In four years that

made this year to make The Fair attractive.
We advise all interested In the arts. science.

opportunity to exhibit their work or pro-
ducts. Application for space and further
particulars should be add essed 20 j. G.
