AMONG THE COLLEGES.

A new fad in Eastern schools
is a spelling bee, the words to be
taken from some popular novel
or standard work. The fad began
in the New York high school and
the manual training high school
has begun a series of spelling bees,
the words to be taken from Ivanhoe.
Considering the fact that the
children of the present day are
notably poor spoilers the new fad
may prove valuable in its results.

FROGS AS BIG AS OXEN.
Fossil Homes Discovered In Okla o m a
by scientist OF Field Column
bIan Museum.

ii. W. Menke, OF the Field Column
bian museum, Chicago, is in okla
homa collecting fossils. A few years
ago many fossil bones were found
near Orlando. They were small back
bones, leg bones, and few skulls
and teeth, Most OF these specimens
were sent TO DR.. s. w. Williston, OF
Kansas university, now OF the Field
Columbian museum. He sent Mr..
Mcnke to Oklahoma, where he has
collected number of these great
ZONES.
Speaking OF the animals to which
the bones belonged, Mr.. Menke said
they probably were members OF the
class known as amphibians, now re-
presented by frogs, toads, and sala-
mnnders. II one can imagine n frog
as big as an or he will have some
idea of the appearance OF the pre-
historic monsters to which these
bones belonged.

THE LOST SIXTEENTH.
That Much of q Second Missing ana
Scientists Cannot Tell Where
1t Has Gone.

If one grain of sand on the shore
of the ocean were lost, and scientists
were to spend years in trying to find
il, they would be attempting a task
resembling that to which leading as
tronomers of England and France are
now devoting themselves, says the
Toronto (Ont.) Mail and Empire.
One-sixteenth of second is missing,
and no one can tell where it has
gone. Between the suns time, as
recorded at Greenwich, and as unde r
stood at Paris, there Is that brief
and seemingly unimportant dis
crepancy. No expense is being spared
to trace the missing fraction. A spe-
cial building has been erected at
Paris, costly instruments installed, a
corps of mathematicians engaged,
and a process that may take years to
complete has been commenced. The
inaccuracy is more important than
will appear to the lay mind. Longi-
tude is calculated on the basis of
Greenwich time. 1t determines the
boundaries of many countries. A
slight variation of time may change
the nationality Of thousands of peo-
pie. The pursuit of the missing frac-
ton of second is therefore OF
worldwide Importance. We shall all
be much relieved when it has been
found, for then not grain of the
sands of time will be missing.

GRAY ANTS OF SIAM.
Small Insects That Travel in Troops
and Seem to Have q Larger
Leader.

Charles Meissen, French explorer,
in travelling through Siam, observed
species of small gray ants which
were new to him, says the Kobe
(Japan) Herald. These ants were
much engaged in travelling. They
lived in damp places and went in
troops. TO his surprise he noticed
among them from time to time an oc-
casional ant which was much larger
than the others and moved at much
swifter pace, and each of these larger
ants, NJ. Meissen saw, always carried
one of the gray ants on its back.
While the main body of gray ants
were always on foot they were &C
companied by at least one of their
own sort mounted on one of these
larger ants. 1t mounted and de-
tached itself now and then from the
line, rode rapidly to the head came
swiftly back to the rear, and seemed
to be the commander of the expedi-
ton.
The explorer was satisfied that this
species of ant employs a larger ant
possibly drone of the same spe-
cies-just as we employ horses to
ride upon, though scarcely more than
one ant in each colony seems to be
provided with a mount.

PHOTOGRAPHIC THE ALPS.
n.,ng Eeatx of Came RIA Enthustasts
ON the summit Of the High
est Peak.

Among the most daring feats at-
tempted by modern photographers
are those performed by the camera
experts who carry their apparatus
to the summit of the highest peaks
of the Alps. The following incident
is one of the many thrilling ones re-
lated by the writer of an article IN
Parsons:
eve were somewhat troubled by
the rising wind, which blew strongly
acorss the crags, and our route lay
up a striking looking chimney on the
exposed side of the ridge. The rest
of the party decided to lower the
writer over the overhanging wall OF
rock on our right to gain some
lodges where photograph could be
taken of the ascent of the chimney.
"Beng lowered over an ordinary
cliff in search of birds nests with
proper apparatus is child's play com
pared with such a lowering as L en-
dured that day. In the first place,
an Alpine rope Is too thin for such
work. for one felt almost cut in half
before the full strain came on the rope.
and absolutely convinced that those
above could not have sufficient hold
to manipulate the rope in such
wind However, the painful dangling
was soon over, and simple scramble

cious recess which would accommo-

THE PRESIDENTS FLAG.
Dispute Between the War and NAVY
Departments as to Proper
Design Is Settled.

A dispute over the proper design for
the presidents flag, involving the war
and navy departments, has been set
tied by the department of state, which
acted as arbitrator. When it was de-
cided during the Mckinley admins
tration that the president should have
an ensign Of his own, to be displayed
On ships of war when the president
| was visiting them, the navy depart
ment was intrusted with the work Of
making suitable design. The depart
ment decided on blue flag, with the
shield of the United States in the CEN
| ter and a star at each Of the four cor
ners. Not long ago the war depart
ment had a number of these flags made,
in accordance with the navy depart
ment's design, and printed in colors
in book of flags of all nations which
the navy department published Off
cially.
Col T. A. Bingham, Of the army, who
Is a sort of chamberlain to the presi-
dent recently discovered there was
difference between the presidents flag
used on ships Of war and the design
adopted by the war department. The
flag in use by the navy shows shield
with seven red stripes and six white
ones, while the flag printed in the book
and used by the war department has
seven white and six red stripes. Col.
Bingham brought this discrepancy to
the attention Of the navy department,
and it was decided to leave to the de-
termination of the state department,
which designed the shield, whether
there should be more white than red
stripes or more red than white stripes.
The state department produced the
original design Of the shield, which
showed seven white and six red. And
there was no getting around the evil
dence Of the original design, the navy
department will have to recall its first
edition Of the presidents ensign and
manufacture new flags showing seven
white stripes and six red ones.

THIEVES IN A WHIP DUEL.
Agree to Lash Each Other Rather
Than Go to Jail for Their
Theft.

In Anderson county, s. c., two ne
groes were recently caught in the act
of robbing farmer, and, rather than
go to Jail, they offered to accept any
punishment the farmer might intiict.
The farmer decided that they should
whip each other. The negroes were
taken into field and stripped to the
waist. There is no whipping-post
law in South Carolina, but this did
not interfere with the plans for the
lashing. Each was given a buggy
trace, and they fought each other UNI
til the blood began to flow.
A big crowd gathered to watch the
duel Of whipping. A neighbor of the
man who had been robbed acted as
referee, and made the negroes break
clean when they clinched.
Under the rules the contest had to
continue until one negro had given
the other 100 lashes. Foul tips were
not counted. Finally, after a desper.
ate fight. the referee lifted his hand
as signal to stop. The man who
suggested the whipping had given
his enemy 100 lashes. He got rs

STRENGTH OF AN EGGSHELL.
An Experiment shows That 1t Cam
sus tain Great Pressure Within
and without.

An eggshell can withstand an in
ternal pressure of IS pounds per
square inch and an external pressure
of 675 pounds per square inch, ac-
cording to experiments made by AL
bert +. Guy, reports the American
Machinist.
The eggs were taken at random
and the contents emptied by first
boring one-sixteenth-inch hole at
each end.
The shells were tested in three
ways-by pressure applied on the
long axis, by internal pressure on the
whole shell and by external pressure.
AS the eggshell is porous the diff
culties met with in trying the last
two tests were overcome by using an
ordinary toy balloon Of thin rubber.
For the internal test one-six-
teenth-inch tube, plugged at one end
and with a hole drilled in the side,
was inserted in the balloon. The bal
loon and tube were then put through
holes carefully drilled in the ends
and the balloon tightly tied outside
the shell. The small tube was sol
dered to pipe plug for connection
with the pump.
For the external pressure test the
Cggshell was tied up inside the bal
loon.

PLANS BIG AERIAL VOYAGE.
NJ. Santos-Dumont Would Fly from
Paris to San Francisco for
100000.

Mayor Phelan. of San Francisco, who
arrived in London the other night from
the continent, said to representative
of the press that NJ. Santos-Dumont,
with whom Mr.. Phelan dined, is about
to make an offer to travel from Paris
to San Francisco by airship.
Dumont," said Mr.. Phelps,
"a KS that prize of 100000 be put
up. This sum, however, will only be
paid oves in case the trip is successful.
The aeronaut undertakes to pay all
his own expenses, and he is already
at work building a new airship Tor
this purpose. He seems entirely con-
fident of achieving his object" Du-
mont pooh-hoos the difficulties of such
lengthy trip, and not only believes
he has got chance of completing this
transoceanic and transcontinental air
journey, but that there will be found
a sufficient number of contributors to
make up the purse that he asks az q
reward.

THE FINISH AT MONTE CARLO.
Those Who Lose Their All MT the
Gaming Tables Go Else where
with Their Misery.

One sees only the appearances o.
luxury and of gayety in this glitter
ing community. Despair would make
blot upon it. Those who have lost
their fortunes disappear like magic,
and while the newspapers announce
on their first page, Monsieur lie Due
has left the azure coast and has re-
turned to his sumptuous apart
ments," the poor devil goes to con-
ceal his shame in some little shanty
lost in the ocean of Partisan room,
says Harper's Weekly. But all have
not the courage to go away. Many
stay. OF such not word is heard.
The cold, the rain, the fog, ruin, and
death are and ought to be, according
to the announcement of the company
and the press, wholly unknown in
this favored spot. Orange trees al
ways in flower, palms trees always
green, and the sky always blue, a
continual fete, winners, fortunate
gamblers, mobiles, millionaires, counts,
dukes, grand dukes, highnesses, and
princes, princes, princes-that is
what people want at Monte Carlo.
A pistol shot is never heard, never
wakes an echo, never causes scan
dial. The walks where the cactuses
stretch out in perspective toward the
sea are always clean and well sanded.
One never sees a drop of blood.

DIPLOMAS FOR SERVANTS.
AHkociatiOn at Chicago Plans to Have
"Graduate" Cooks and
LaundreSses.

According to plans made by the
Chicago Housewives association serv-
ing maids may hereafter be obliged
to hold diplomas issued by the aSsocia-
ti,n in order to secure positions in
the homes Of members OF the organiza-
ton. This plan, announced by the
women at their meeting, is the latest
suggestion for the solution of the
servant girl problem.
The rules regulating the granting
Of the diplomas are to be definite. The
formal testimonials will be granted to
q maid only after she has been in one
family for year and has performed
her duties with certain degree Of
proficiency. Real parchment will be
used and the holders will be described
as Satisfactory" good" or remark
ably efficient"
Graduate Cooks" "waitingmaids,"
ladies maids" and "laundresses" will
be the classes Of household women
servants. The association is enthusi-
astic over its new project.
1--WE have graduate nurses to look
after us when we are sick" said one OF
the members. "Why shouldntw we have
graduate maids TO look after us when
we are well and keep us in that condi-
ton"
A reform in the social nomenclatu
denoting employer and employe was
also introduced, and in the future "mis-
tress," domestic" servant" and
"girl" may be dropped from the vocabu-
larry Of families Of the members. MA
from and maid" the association in
sists, are the proper terms to use.

BOND IN A PICTURE.
Valuable Paper Found by German
Woman In an Old Daguerreo-
type Frame.

The treasury department lately re-
ceived from United States Consul
General Guenther, at Frankfort-on-
the-Main, Germany, United States
bond for $500, which he forwarded for
redemption for the benefit of Mrs.
Martha Schnell, an old woman living
at Bornheim, reports the Washington
Star.
He writes that Mrs. Schnell has .
fad for collecting daguerreotypes,
and recently in cleaning one she had
had about ten years, she accident
ally broke the glass covering the por'
trait, disclosing the bond, which had
been neatly folded and placed In its
hiding place many years before.
Mrs. Schnell was about to throw it
away, but was persuaded to take it
to the United States consul tc ascer-
tain If it had any value.
The portrait is faded beyond pos
sible recognition, but the old case
shows that it was made in Worces-
ter, Mass.
The bond is of the issue Of July 1,
1867, series C, and has 2S coupons
attached, showing that the last one
was removed for interest due 5snu-
airy 1, 1873. Interest on the bond,
however, ceased on April 6, 1879.
United States Treasurer Roberts
forwarded to Mr.. Guenther for Mrs.
Schnoll a government warrant for
$6s7.s1, covering the principal and in
terest to Washington Post.

Their astonishment at the mastery
OF the language was frequently
deepened when, upon their return to
the hotel few hours later, they
found nothing prepared. 1t was his
