The Nile is the only river in the
world that flows for !. 500 miles without
q tributary.
on the Cape of Good Hope waves
thirty-eight feet high from trough to
crest have been noted.
Prismatic lake, in the Yellowstone
National park, is the largest body of
hot water in the world.
Three rivers as big as the Rhine
would just equal in volume the Gan
ges, three Gangeses the Mississippi
and two Nississippis the Amazon.
The st. Lawrence river is frozen four
months Of the year, and its navigation
is so difficult that an average of one
steamer a month is wrecked in its wa
tiers.

In Korean schools the master 10
dressed in white, generally wears spec
tacles and always has a rod in order
that the child may not be spoiled. He
gathers his flock around him in the
most fatherly manner and deals out
Justice with an unsparing hand. The
scholars are dressed in their best, but
must study without their shoes. These
latter are kept In sight Of the master
at all times. The course Of study is not
very extensive to look at. but when it
comes to studying the Korean language
through the medium Of Chinese it must
be confessed that the beginning of a
course is difficult. The scholar is first
taught the name and meaning Of Chi
nese characters and then their meaning
in Korean, just as though he were
obliged to learn English through the
medium Of the Greek alphabet. Stu.
dents keep up steady droning noise
as each one goes on repeating his por-
ton Of the tasks aloud. regardless Of
what is going on round him.

Henty's Young Critic.

G. A. Henty. the writer for youth.
frequently got letters from admirers
all over the world asking for his auto
graph and offering criticisms of his
books. In story of the peninsular
war he made two boys disguise them,
selves by staining their faces with
iodine. Shortly after the book was
published he received letter from a
boy, who said he was. chemists as
sistant, stating that while that special
incident was represented as taking
place In 1908 iodine was not discovered
until 1871, three years after.

Talking Through the Body.

To talk through a human body, or =
row of human bodies. for the matter of
that, is one of the weirdest of the cleo
trician's feats. If telephone wire be
severed and the two ends be held by
person, one in each hand, but far
apart, it is quite possible for two indi-
viduals to carry ON "A conversation

CHIEF CLARK CONFERS
WITH D.L.S.W. MEN
Important Meeting Of Head of the
Conductors with Representatives
Of Lackawanna Employees.

T.. t. Clark. of Cedar Rapids, Ia,
grand chief of the Order of Railway
Conductors, who has been selected as
one of the commissioners in the mire
strike dispute. was in the city yes.Cr-
day in conference with the members of
Division j., Order of Railway Conduc-
tors. and representatives of the various
divisions of the Lackawanna system.
Mr.. Clark is making his annual tour
of the different divisions of his order
He timed his visit to Scranton so that
he might be here at a union meeting
that was to have been held here yes
terday to discuss grievances which the
Lackawanna employees are seeking to
have redressed. The union meeting
was put off until after the mine strike
excitement has subsided.
Mr.. Clark came here at noon yester-
day from Elmra, and left for home at
ESQ last evening, at the conclusion of
his conference with the local conduc-
tors. He had nothing to give out re-
garding the import of his visit. but in
response to question as to whether
or not he proposed to serve on the mine
strike commission, he said:
II have not as yet made answer to
on the commission. because ! have not
yet received the official notifica ion of
my selection. understand it is at my
Office at home. ! will, of course, ac-
cept. 1t is a duty of citizenship that
in time like this one cannot well re-
fuse to assume
What was done at the conductors
meeting could not be learned. That
something out of the ordinary was dealt
with might be guessed from the fact
that the chairmen of the general griev-
ance committees of the engineers and
trainmen, James Clark and A. f. Duff
fy, respectively. were present. John
DoWney, of Utica. chairman of the
conductors grievance committee; John
Walsh, of E.lmira: John Slack, of Ho-

charmen of the grievance committees
of the different divisions, were also in
