NEW PRESIDENT AT GRINNELL.

A strong institution is an opportunity
| for man, and a strong man is an OPP
portunity for an institution. The
| friends of Iowa College believe that the
| future of the school offers urgent in
vitation to the highest expansive and
administrative power of q strong lead
err. The election of Rev. Dan f. Brad
ley, until recently pastor of one of the
Michigan, is proof that the trustees be-
lieve they have found their opportunity
and accepted it.
DR.. Bradley is man who has had
abundant experience of the special
needs and characteristics of the grea:
middle west. Born, somewhat more
than forty years ago, in Siam, OF ener-
getic and Independent missionary par
ents, he has spent the majority OF his
days in Ohio, Michigan and South Da-
kota. He is twice a graduate of Ooer-
lin, always considered a model in many
respects by those who have shaped the
policy of Iowa College, and has served
as trustee of that famous co-educa-
tional center. He has also had official
connection for considerable period
with Olivet College, Michigan Gas trus-
tee), and with Yankton College, South
Dakota Gas acting presidenD, both in
situations of the same general type in
organization and ideals SIS Iowa Col
lege.
While noted as a pulpit speaker of
great efficiency and wearing quality,
DR.. Bradley's special strength in his
own church has been, perhaps, in the
direction of organization, and in his
emphatic attention to the responsible
ties of the church in the civic commu-
nifty. His first sermon to Grinnell
the subject of Loyalty" and sounded
the note of municipal, stare and nation
al patriotism with unmistakable sin
cerity and stress. The ideal of college
education as broadly, essentially, a
preparation for good citizenship is I'M
doubtedly near his heart
DR.. Bradley was relieved from his du-
ties at Grand Rapids April o. and has
already entered into his Iowa College
labors with the enthusiasm and steadi-
ness which promise enduring grip
The presidents of our Iowa colleges a1e
far from being of mere local habitat.
During the few weeks before COM
at Grinnell President
Bradley has engagements for some
half-dozen important public addresses
in Iowa. and for trans Mississippi plat
form duties at various points from Chi
cago to Syracuse.
The Inauguration of che president
was the central feature of Grinnell's |
week and was of deep in
terest not only to the thousand and |
more alumni and students Of the inst-
tuition, but to public-spirited citizens of
the state generally. The position on the
program of such men as DR.
Henry Adams, OF Ann Arbor, Albert
Shaw of New York city, and Bishop
Morrison, indicates the noteworthiness
OF the occasion.

AUSTRALIANS DISASTROUS DRou1H.

While Iowa has an excess of rain and
moisture the far-distant country of
Australia is suffering from prolonged
and disastrous drouth. These dry per-
iods have increased so greatly of late
years in their devastating effects upon
stock, as we'll as upon crops, as to cause
the most gloomy approximations. Re-
cent returns show the decline that has
taken place in the number Of sheep and
cattle in the colonies on the great ISL
and, as well as the decline in the south
of the area under cultivation, as the re-
suit of drouth. According to a cores
pondent, writing from Sydney, since
1892 the losses of stock from this cause
have reached twenty millions, of which
fifteen millions have been incurred
since 1899. Sheep, rabbits and other
animals have been dying by the thous-
ands Rivers have dried up, wells are
hard to obtain by reason of the depth
required to reach water. In Queens
land it Is necessary to sink to an enor-
nous depth at great expense, and the
water when it gushes up is unbearably
hot. Several of the sinkings are con-
siderably over a mile In depth, and yet
the money expended has proved val
liable investment. There is agitation in
favor of the building of reservoirs at
colonial expense. The only districts
which have escaped the drouth are the
northern river regions of New South
Wales and parts of Riverina. 1t is
stated that the government is trying to
mitigate the suffering caused by the
prolonged dry period. Crown tenants
are not being pressed for rent and the
starving sheep and other stock are be-
ing carried to points of relief on the
state railways at half the ordinary
rates.
Very few can form an idea Of the far
reaching effect of the drouth. Overhead
the crows and hawks are screeching
threateningly in sky Of FURNISHED
blue. The scene is weird and charac-
teristic. Everything with life suffers,
and meterologists offer no hope of
change.

ern Queensland the four-year- old cat
tie have never had wet skins. A COM

SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
Engineer Claims New Method of Sc
curino Electricity.

Engineer Claims New Method of Sc
curing Electricity.
London, June 1O.-Under date of June
6, the Las Palmas correspondent OF the
Daily Mail sends remarkable account
of great scientific discovery. Accord
ing to the correspondent, the discovery
is d method of directly using atnlos-
pheric electricity without chemicals or
dynamos, and practically applying it
Without any motive force.
The discoverer is Senior Clemente
F'igueras, engineer of woods and for
ests for the Canary islands, and for
many years professor OF physics at ST.
Augustines College, Las Palmas, and
long known as a scientific student
Hitherto he has jealousy guarded the
secret of his labors, fearing that a pre-
mature revelation might rob him of his
reward. Even now, while he claims to
have entirely succeeded, he remains
silent concerning the exact principles
of his discovery. He claims, however,
to have invented generator which can
collect the electric l'uid, to be able to
store it and to apply it to an infinite
number of purposes; for instance, in
Will SHIPS, railways ana
manufactures. He says he expects the
effect of his discovery will be tremen-
dous economic and Industrial revou-
ton. He will not give the key to his
invention, but declares that the only
extraordinary point about 1t is that ii
has taken so long to discover a simple
scientific fact. The people of the Ca
nary islands consider Professor Figuer-
as to be very clever, and they firmly
believe that his invention is genuine.
He had his apparatus made in separate
parts in Paris, Berlin and Las Palmas,
and fitted them together himself The
firm in Berlin which supplied some of
the parts was curious enough to send
to the Canary islands an efnissary to
try to draw out the professor, but the
attempt was unsuccessful.
Professor Figueras is shortly going to
Madrid and Berlin ii patent his inven-
ton. A German electrical company Is

field for this business is almost un.
limited. We have the clays.
Buggy Factories.
We already have the largest carriage
factory in the west. Other buggy
factories making different qualities
would here find great and profitable
market for their goods. The buggy
business is rapidly moving west Of
Chicago for the western and Pacific
trade, the greatest and richest mar.
ket in the world.
Fur Factory.
The hides for making fur coats can
be bought and tanned here and this
is the center Of the country in which
fur coats are used.

erous offer. Neither alvance has been
accepted This, the correspondent adds,
is all that it is possible to obtain at
present. No opinion can be expressed
as to the value of the discovery until
further details are known.
The Mail adds that it has learned
from other sources that Professor Fig
ueras has constructed a rough apparat-
us, by which he obtains current of 500
volts. which he utilizes in lighting his
house and driving a twenty horsepower
motor. His inventions comprise a gen.
orator, motor and sort of governor or
regulator. The whole apparatus is so
simple that child could work it.

RECONSTRUCTION IN SOUTH AFRICA.

1t appears that the task of recon-
structing South Africa is to be made
easy to Great Britain so far as the as
sistance of the Beers is concerned.
There is no report of sullen submission
but on the contrary the Boer people
seem anxious to meet the English more
than half way in amicability anu ac-
ceptance Of British sovereignty. DeWet

able valor to accept the situation cheer
fully and show what good colonists they
can made. The defeated commandos
when surrendering their arms and col
ors in many instances have cheered
King Edward and the British flag. AZ
ter their long and desperate struggle
which awakened the sympathy and adj
have accepted the peace terms in letter
and spirit and are ready to become and
remain British subjects.
In this is Great Britain's opportunity.
II she meets the manly submission of
the Beers with an equal manliness of
acceptance the reconstruction of the
Transvaal into the British empire
would seem to have been accomplished.
The policy of England should be to
make another Canada of the Dutch re-
puhlics. Men who have fought to the
finish of war like the one just ended
to accept terms of surrender and loss
of independence with resignation and
accept their new condition with optimis-
tice courage should be met with a
policy as frank and open as their sub
mission. England has her opportunity
to found great South African en-

great races. 1t is to be hoped she will
not fail to take advantage of the OPP
portunity.

cuRAs PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Matthew e. Hanna, who has the dis
Enction of having been selected by the
government to create system OF pupllc
schools for Cuba, has contributed an
interesting article on the Cuban schooi
situation to current massazine. In his
article Mr.. Hanna brings forward much
that is interesting. Before the out
break of the last Cuban insurrection
only SOS schools existed in the entire
island, with an attendance of $4,000
children. Spain collected $30,000,0O0 in
Cuba, but spent nothing for public
education. General Wood set aside for
q public school system about one-fifth
Of the s17,0o0,00o income of the island
IN 1901. With the s3,000,000 thus pro-
yided the Americans left behind in
Cuba a WELL organized free school sys-
tenn, with 5000 schools, 100000 pupils
and 5000 teachers receiving salaries of
from $50 to 500 a month.
Nothing in the Plat amendment
compels the Cuban government to
maintain the free school system inau-
gurated by the United States. The
problem of education is sure TO prove
difficult of solution and it Is feared the
Cuban congress will desire to cut down
the appropriations for school purposes.
Action of this kind will certainly be
against the disposition of President
Palma and will not advance the Cuban
government in the eyes of the world.
