THE TEXTBOOK CONVENTION.

The convention held in this city for
tho adoption OF textbooks for use in
this State during the next Ave years,
has completed its labors. The details
are given elsewhere In this paper. We
believe that in most and perhaps all
instances, the convention has chosen
good books. although we have not yet
had sufficient opportunity TO make
thorough examination az to the merits
OF the various books adopted.
There was one feature, however to
which the "News" directed the especial
attention Of the members OF the con-
vention almost at the outset of their
. deliberations, This feature was that
we had information TO the effect that
certain books adopted and used in this
State during the past five years. were
being sold much cheaper In certain 9th
er States than in Utah. In subsequent
articles. we became more specific, and
on June 5, an editorial In this paper
contained the following declaration
1.-THE question OF cost is
one that will have TO be met, and no
sophistry on the part OF special plead
ers will break down the force OF the
evidence that can be adduced. 10 show
the disparity between prices asked for
In Utah and those paid In some other
States for the same kind OF textbooks.
A very slight variation may be made
between editions adopted In Kansas,
Missouri and Indiana, and those SAM
pies presented here. but the difference
In actual cost Is so small as TO render
eyorbithnt the figures demanded for
supplies TO our district schools"
We specially mentioned the cases Of
Missouri. Indiana, and Kansas the
States In which II was stated In this
paper and by several OF our CORE
spondents. that the same textbooks
we're selling at lower prices than In this
State.
Now comes the report Of the commit
tie as given out In the morning pa
pers. to this effect:
''The report showed that there was
little n any difference In the Utah
nyice and the price elsewhere except
IN Missouri. Indiana, and Kansas,
where the price OF textbooks is con.
troped by State law"
Now. as these were precisely the
states in which we claimed that there
gas this great difference In prices as
compared with the prices In Utah, 1t

Peace in South Africa is expected
TO stimulate trade in more than one
way. Manufacturers and other export
ers are rather looking forward TO an
Increase In gold production and a re-
sultant ease in the money markets at
the different financial centers of the
world. Wall street, however, has thus

animation since the war was formally
declared closed. and In fact trading in
that mart was quleter last week than
for long time, the market being al
most neglected on several days.

A BALLOON FARM.
Unique Bust m eSn Carried On mt a
Place Near the City of Utica,
New York.

There is at present a general inter.
est in airships, for which the late ex-
perments of Santos-Dumort are large
ly responsible, and in view of this many
will read with more than ordinary in
terest the clever description Of the
great balloon farm Of Carl f. Myers,
written by Chauncey McGovern for
Parsons. "You would be inclined to
think you were dreaming" says Mr..
McGovern, were you to walk through
the farm of Carl e. Myers, nine miles
from the city of Utica, state of New
view, in summer time, a large variety
of aerial craft--airships that actually
fly, just as they do in the story books,
doing strange things that you had sup
posed could never happen in reality.
Besides the array of new kinds Of
air craft, 1t is fact little known that
every American-made hydrogen bal
loon in use in the United States
whether by the government or by pri-
vate indivduals--is a product Of this
one farm.
Most striking among the things to
be seen at the balloon farm il flying
machine that really flies, not merely a
working model Of an airship that
flies few feet along track on the
ground, but n fully completed flying
machine that scars into the actual
skies as high as any bird--a machine
that ascends, that turns and dives as
readily as an eagle does.
Many other curious aerial vessels
have been turned out from the Myers
balloon farm, and some greater won
ders are in course of construction. 1t
Is not only his own inventions that
Mr.. Myers constructs on his balloon
farm. He makes all sorts OF aerial con
trivanccB-scentif ic kites, freak bal
looms, air vessels--for other inventors.
The greatest number Of the balloon
farm products, however, are big hydro
gen balloons"

ENGLAND'S WAR TAX.
A Tour An south Africa shows VIII ere
Much Money Was Spent by
the Army.

A tourney once across the Karroo is
distinctly interesting. just now 1T has
a more than usual interest for an Eng
ishman, says correspondent of the
Boston Transcript. AS he travels
north of Matjesfontein, and even more
SO when north of Beaufort West, he
can see where a good proportion of the
income tax at a shilling and fourpence
in the pound has gone. From Mates
fontein to De Aar it is represented by
empty tin cans and bottles which have
been thrown out Of the transport
trains by Atkins & Co. on their way
from Cape Town to the scene of the re-
cent unpleasantness. If the railroad
tracks were torn up, and every evil
dence of their having been railway
were obliterated, ii would still be cas-
lily possible to make ones way across
the 300 miles of Karroo by steering
between the two well-marked lines OF
empty tin cans and bottles. There
would be no danger of going ten feet
astray.
There are cans and bottles Of all ma
tionalitieS. Continenta! Europe is rep
resented by bottles which, when
shipped from their place of origin,
were neatly done up in straw. Atkins
superior In khaki is, of course, respon-
sible for these. Atkins himself is rep
resented chiefly by meat cans-most
of them with a Chicago or Kansas City
brand. For hundreds of miles the
northward movement of British troops
Is marked by these cans, which will
continue to advertise the meat packing
industry of America until their labels
are slowly washed out of recognition
by the scanty rainfall of the Karroo.
There are so many Of these cans that
one wonders how armies were fed be.
fore Chicago and Kansas City came
into existence and the process of meat
packing was invented. One fact Is
obvious: No country can hope to go
to war in the future unless its credit
stands high in Chicago and Kansas
City. At worst, country which is
pressed for men can resort to the draft
or to CONSUMPTION, but the largest
army which can be put in the field
would sooN be useless il 1t we're not
well supported by the Big Four.

TRADE In SKELETONS.

Thirty Dollars Where There Ii
a Dem nd for Them.

1t isn't very often that anybody
wants a skeleton. Most people have
them in their clothes, but in the very
nature of things the cadaver never
gets into the newspapers voluntarily
on the part of the responsible party.
When the skeleton gets into the paper
at all 1T is usually a good story. 1t is
the skeleton that makes the story
good, gays the Kansas City Journal
But the other day man advertised
for a skeleton. II had to be good, and
1t had to be articulated. The man was
medical student, and he wanted the
skeleton for strictly professional and
scientific purposes. He received an an
swer the other day from firm dealing
in physicians supplies, but the con-
tents are not yet articulated.
"A good skeleton, articulated," said
a prominent doctor in the Rialto build
ing the other day, "such as this young
man evidently wants, can be purchased
for about $25 10 $50. There is no pro-
fessional articulation done here. All
the articulated skeletons come from
the east. Some physicians and sur
geons, of course, possess sufficient skill
in the handling of bones and sufficient
knowledge of anatomy to mount or ar
ticulate a skeleton without making
any mistakes. Every bone must be in
its place, and when it is remembered
that when the skeleton comes from the
boiling vat it is mere mass of bones,

"At the Kansas City colleges, from 90
to 30 bodies pass through the dissect-
ing ROBINS of each big school. The
bones of a large portion of these bodies
are divided up among the students and
the number of whole skeletons that
leave the table is very limited. Such
as are whole are the property of the
janitor, and he sells them to physicians
and students. the usual price for a
whole skeleton unarticulated being
about ten dollars. The physician
or student will probably mount the
bones as practice in anatomy or as
demonstration before class.
1.-THE price of perfect skull is about
five dollars. 1t will have all the teeth
intact, and it will be cleaned of flesh,
but it will not be polished to a very
high degree, nor will it be whitened
or bleached. There is no special de-
mand for bones, and the great major
ity of the remains of dissected bodies
are burned along with the rest of the
body after it has served its scientific
purpose.

adult makes no difference in the price.

OLD-TIME FIDDLERS.
Men Who Meet Twice
Year and Play the Tunes OF
Their Younger Days.

On the low hills that hedge in the
swamp stretches of the Illinois Kan
kakee; in the valley of lndiana's Lost
river; in the Wisconsin woodlands, and
in the Kentucky bluegrass pastures,
are found the homes of the old-time
fiddlers, says Woman's Home Compan-
ion. There are no young fiddlers in
this middle-western country. The
young fiddlers are all violinists; save
the mark! This land of prairie, pas
ture and forest was prolific of fiddlers.
Their race is nearing it's end, and when
it is fairly run regret will linger in
the hearts of those who knew these
ancient players, like that felt when the
last strain of one Of their pathetic
melodies passes from fiddle and bow.
There are enough of them left, how
ever to make up goodly gatherings
twice a year in different parts of their
home states, when they meet to en-
gage in the honored "old folders con-
tests" These contests smack of the
western soil. They are peculiar to the
prairie country and to small part of
Kentucky and Wisconsin. The old
snowy-headed men who compete for
prizes at these meetings have no new
music. Their tunes in the main have
been handed down to them, father to
son, from the days when the first tide
of humanity swelled over the ALLIE
ghany mountains and spread to the
land beyond. The quality of their mu-
sic is Natures own. Through it all the
cardinal whistles, the quail calls and
the trfted +itmouse pipes.
