The motto OF President Roose>
velt, in dealing with reporters, has
been, "If you have secret and
want it kept tell the reporters"
The inference is they will find it
out anyhow and if you take them
into your confidence you can fully
rely on them. The habit to large
extent in Grand Junction has been,
keep everything a dead secret and
if the newspapers find it out, appeal
to the friendship of the respective
editors to keep the matter quiet"

anything, or at least very few
things, for which it did not apolo

itself in a future issue for having
placed the blame for the existence
of gambling on the shoulders OF

the News of the pledges OF the re-

it made its plaintive cry at Mr..

Measuring the Speed Of Under
around Water by Electricity.

A recent and interesting develop
ment in the work of the Division of
Hydrography of the United States
Geological Survey is the study of the
flow of water underground. In many
localities the water which finds it's way
beneath the surface-as for example
in the sands and gravels of dry river
beds, or the seepage from irrigated
lands in the VESTS of considerable
economic value, but little has hitherto
been known regarding it's speed and
the manner of it's flow. During the
last session the Geological Survey has
been engaged in series of preliminary
studies under Prof. G. 8. Slichter, of
the University of Wisconsin, of the
underfow in the sands of the Arkansas
River. The method of investigation is
entirely new; two test wells are driven
and electrically connected. Into the
upstream wellin placed an electrolyte,
or dissolvable substance, which affects
the electric current. This electrOlyte
enters the underground water at the
first well and gradually passes down
stream to the second. In the electri-
cal circuit between the two wells the
needle of an instrument records its ap
proach, and is strongly affected by its
final arrival. By watching the increas-
ing DETECTION of the needle it is pos
sible to trace the movement OF the
water from the beginning of the expert
ment and to study the variations of its
flow. In the experiments on the Ark
ansas River the rate of the underfow
was found to be from to Is feet per
day.

SCARCITY OF FARM LABORERS.
AgrlcuIturists In Delaware Unable to
Hire the Help They Need.

Mr.. George G. Rothwell. one of the
intelligent and progressive farmers Of
New Castle county, recently spoke o1
the great scarcity of farm labor, and
mentioned the cases of several farmers
who had rcsolved.to quit the business
on account of this difficulty. This
scarcity of farm labor-or, rather, diff
fculty OF procuring farm labor-pre-
walls throughout the entire State.
And yet it is fact that in every Sec
tion of the State there is no lack OF
men to do this work, if they could
only be induced to. In every town
plenty oflazy negroes may be found
who will not labor for love or money.
How they exist is mystery, but they
keep in good health, and seem to have
plenty to eat, even though it is the
bread of ldleness. Of course, there are
many thrifty and industrious colored
me-, but the idle and dissolute, who
cannot be induced to work, are large
ly in the majority.
This idlenesS and thriftlessneSs on
the part of the negro menihas largely
increased during recent years. and
there is reasonable analogy between
this increase and the enormous in
crease in political corruption that has
been a feature of elections in this State
for the past decade. These negroes
obtain liberal sums of money from the
corrupt politicians, and this serves to
encourage them in their id.eness.
That they keep close watch between
elections upon the votebuyers who are
so liberal with them when election day
is close at band, and frequently i'm
perfume them for money, is only a
natural sequence. In fact, they have
become what is knswn in political
parlance as ''grafters.
There is no doubt that if this mis-
cradle political corruption could be
abolished, the prevailing thriftlessness
and idleness that affects so many
negroes would c0rrespondingly de-
crease. Men who now live by graft
ingn would return to making living
by labor. How to dispose of the re-
naming idle ones who will not work is
a question yet to be solved. But the
evils exists, and its seriousness be-
comes painfully apparent when men
who wish to follow farming feel i'm
PEELED to give it up simply because it
is not possible to get them to do the
necessary work.-Wilmington DELI

GOOD SCHOOLS IN
GOOD WEATHER.
How County superintendent Adapted
the Schools to the Conditions in His
County.

Every county superintendent and
every member of county or district
school board in the mountains and hill
country of the South should known of
the work of Supt. s. F. Venable, OF
Buncombe county, North Carolina. In
this county, as in so many others, the
public schools had for years been
taught in the late fall and winter,
when the weather is bad and the little
childre cannot attend without expos
ure and danger to health. Two sum-
mers ago Supt. Venable worked out a
plan for what he calls duplicate grad
ed schools
The children were classified in eight
grades, each grade representing the
work of school year. About the first
of June the schools were opened for
children of the first, second, third and
fourth grades, which included all the
children from six to ten years old, and
the records show that the average at
tendance daily of the children of these
four grades was as large as the aver
age daily attendance Of all children of
all grades the year before. After four
months, children of the higher grades
were admitted. In some instances the
first, second and third grades were
discontinued; in others additional
teachers were employed and children
of all grades were taught the next four
months. In other cases smaller schools
were combined in central schools.
So satisfactory were the results that
the majority of the schools in this coun-
ty have now adopted the plan. The
attendance of the small children, on
account of good weather in the sum-
mer and fall. has doubled and some of
the teachers reported last summer that
every child in their district from six
to ten years old was in school. The
progress made by the children was sur
prising to the parents and children,
and was made possible because of the
few grades to be taught. These schools
will run from eight to nine months this
year. The plan is economical, and has
many advantages which make 1t worthy
of careful consideration.

BREAK OF DAY.


Cruel white waves in sad under tone,
Break at my feet with desolate moan,
Far in the distance as eye can reach.
Only long strip of sandy beach,
Backward and forward, to left. to right
Blaker the darkness npon the night.
Rugged and steep the mountains loom.
Pitiless shadows of coming doom!
Is there no herald of dawning day
Over the ocean so cold and grey?
Waiting, l watch on the shore in vain
Fast throbs my heart with its bitter pain.
Turn from the desolate moaning sea
1t hath no part in thy life or thee.
Dreary the path where no flowers bloom
By rugged shore through the mountain s
gloom
Thyme is the burden with weary feet,
Brave, not dispairing, thy fate 60 meet.
From pain no longer coward shrink,
Though the cup is bitter. thy lips must
drink,
Earthward no more turn thy fearful gazes;
Who works in earnest, in earnest prays.
The rough dark road thou wouldst fain
forget;
Upward and onward The end is not yet.
Lo the mountains crown, ON the ebony
night,
CLOVIS with glory of rosy light;
Dark is the valley the sea is gray;
But the hilltop burns the beacon of day.
A fiery shaft from the golden East,
Enk1ndles the altar where God is Priest.
Rosy lights creep down the mountain side,
Flushing the slow heaving. Swelling tide.
Rainbow of promise high overhead
Tells of Day coming with silent tread
Slowly the curtain of night is furled,
Softly the light of God blesses the world.
Through the skimmering gold of breaking
day
A white winged sail is speeding its way.
All blessed day full of hope newborn
That brings my love to its happy dawn!
Shine out in the sky +: o glorious sun
The end is not yet Life has just begun.

Sir: In an editorial ON Saturday last
YOU give us the interesting news that Mr..
Carnegie has presented the Acton library,
which he recently purchased, to John
Morley. Toward the close of the article
you say: although he succeeded James
Anthony Froude as historical lecturer at
oxford, etc." Lord Acton did not succeed
Froude, but was professor of modern his
tory at Cambridge, thus being successor
to Sir John Seeley, and Charles Kingsley.
The Regnis professorship of modern his
tory at Oxford has been held by Stubbs.
Freeman, Froude, and at present by Mr..
F.. York Powell. You also speak of
Lord Acton as the pupil of Ranke;
the teachers who were believed to
have been most influential with
him were Cardinal Wiseman and DOL
linGer. Is Monsen a proofreader's or
typesetter's slip for Mommsen? That
Lord Acton was the "slent partner of
Gardiner in his historical researches be-
longs, l fear, in the category Of things

He planned, 1t is said, a history of lib

also shows a variation. DR.. Norman
Lockyer of England, thought the for
mer had cycle of thirty-five years.
but wolfer finds evidence that the
periods of both increase and decrease
have cycles OF f1fty-five years, and that
the ratio between the two has the same
cycle. He also finds that a short period
of increase Is followed by a high maxi
mum Of relative sun-spot numbers.
To those who may affirm that this Is
not altogether clear, we say 1t Is as
clear to them as to us. The sun-spot
theory assumes that solar radiation Is
influenced by the spots on the sun;
the more spots the less radiation,
and vice versa. Variations in solar
radiation, sun spot theorists contend,
influence meteorological and other con-
ditions, such as magnetic and elec-
trical conditions, including the aurora
borealis: air temperature: baromet-
ric pressure; humidity; the winds;
cloudness; rainfall; depth and guam
tity of discharge of rivers; retreat and
advance of glaciers; numbers of ship
wrecks; bank failures and commercial
crises; the crops; prices of grain; fam
ines; wars, and even flights OF butter

means the minimum of human comfort
or the reverse; and until they do we
