The American does not work colt
before he has grown. and It IL on this
Idea that our educators refrain from
putting our students to the scverest
mental test. We do not ask how much
can possibly he accomplished by
child. but how much Is best for him.
The fullest, answer to the whole ques-
ton is to compare the ages of the aver
age college graduate In this country II
averages about 22 years. while abroad
II Is about % years. and from that we
see that our pupils progress slowly In
AN educational line at first, but after
the faculties are thoroughly developed
a very rapid advance Is made. and we
aim as nearly as possible to devolep the
mental and physical natures OF the stu
dent at the same time. The success OF
this plan. | think. il evident from the
number Of young men at the head OF
the many large industrial establish
ments successfully competing with the
product Of the world In every line.

taught rather 10 grasp and retain de

placed on his eyes. so that he Is unable
to look sidewise. Certainly these schools
are more advanced in theory than ours.
bue we surely excel them from a practi-
cal and practical education combined,
and more nearly to procure the acme OF
usefulness IN after years. Then, too, the
natural tendency of the American
youth to apply knowledge as soon as
acquired is a superiority that greatly
aids the teacher to attain results. Prob.
ably. and most likely, the lack of the
foreign student of this essential Is on
account of the system of supervision
and restriction that obtain abroad. 1t is

with heat. For n number of hours the
birds had ceased song and twtter. The
sharp chr-r-r of the grasshoppers and
the steady click, click of the harvester
seemed to voice the misery caused by
the stifling air. Not the slightest breeze
ruftled the broad eXpanse of ripened
wheat: not motion except of men,
machine and horses. White streaks of
lather showed on the horses wherever
touched by strap of leather, and
though they Jagged miserably at their
work the driver was too enervated by
the heat to urge them to a liveller

Gated people, while in Europe no com
mon boys attend the secondary schools.
Only those who are in training for pro
fessional careers and who are supposed
to be specially well endowed mentally
enter those schools at all. Again, the
matter of tittlng n pupil so that he Is
able to step into an office ns soon as he
is out of the high school Is not consider
ed abroad as II Is here. Little or no at
tention is devoted 10 what we call com
mercial training. such as shorthand,
typewrlting and commercial law. This
instruction is only Obtained by Euro
pean student in Il college course.
The same openness Of mind so notice
able in the American youth ls totally
lacking In the foreign student, and he Is
held to the facts In his books until he
has no breadth OF range. He spends
much less time In the open air and
takes less exhlarating exercise than
our boys. Add to this the scientific ven

ant as to raise it from petty crime
into a great discovery-provided, Of
course, the facts are as stated.
Measurements at the power house of
the trolley company showed that there
was a loss of current somewhere along
the line which could not be accounted
for. This loss had continued for some
time Experts were set to work and
after much search, discovered that a
farmer had ingeniously' tapped the
wire conveying the current from the
power house and was utilizing 1t TO
stimulate the growth of vegetables.
There was network of wires on
his truck patch, 800 by 200 feet. on
which his radish crop WAS grown. He
had by this means electrified the ground
in some way and claims that since
stringing his wires he finds that radish.

to come to maturity. could be brought
to the marketable condition in fourteen
days. This, if true, means that by
causing electricity to circulate through
the ground three crops may be raised
and gathered in the time hitherto re
quired to mature one crop.
This is of first Importance, says the
New York Times, and if established by
investigation it is a discovery which
should increase the value of land and
reduce the cost of food vegetables. AS
discovery it would be worth many
fold the value Of all the current of the

bay, and as he had attained but the
height of well-grown calf and was
always docile and tractable, he was
permitted to have the run of the decks
for an hour or two every morning.
By the sailors he was called the
"bos'n's mate" owing to the penchant
he had for carefully picking up every
loose coil of rope that he could find and
then throwing it over the side, being,
as Jack said, las bad as a naval lieu
tenant for keeping the decks tidy"
Among other acquaintances that he
formed was that of the ships baker,
whose galley he soon discovered to be
the place of origin of all the sweet
dainties with which he was feted. Here
he took to making a regular morning
call, and was generally regaled with
tart of piece of cake.
But one morning, when he called and
extended his trunk, as usual, the cook
happened to be in i'll humor, and in
stead of cake the elephant received a
tap on the trunk from the rolling pin.
The blow was not severe, but the

that enabled him to watch for his as
