Newspapers as Educators.

St. Louis Dispatch to the New York World.
Prof w. H. Lynch, principal Of the
Mountain Grove, Mo-. school. today ex-
planned to the State Teachers Association
his method of using newspapers for study
in the class room. Prof. Lynch has great
faith in the educational value Of the mod
ern newspaper and is subscriber to sew
enty dailies. weeklies and semi-weeklies.
He said:
1T discovered some time ago that no
textbook Is equal to the newspapers as a
means Of disseminating actual and up-to-
date knowledge in the school room. Text
books teach only theory of the world and
its facts. the newspapers tell the real
drama of life in its varied forms. Every
Friday corning I have my pupils devote
time to reading newspapers Each pupil
has different journal. Each pupil reads
but one article. At a given signal the pa
pers are folded up and each pupil tells the
story he has been reading in his own
words. This plan has many advantages.
not he least of which is that it enables
the teachers to get an insight into the
natural bent Of each pupils mind"

NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS
IN EITHER CONAN OR JORDAN
MURDER MYSTERIES.
Dollar Bill With Blood Stains on It,
Passed at Theater, Produced
Some Interest.

There has been no new developments in
either the Gozman or Jordan murder mys-
teries since the inquest yesterday, and the
detectives and police are still engaged in
running down every clue which presents
itself. James Henson, the colored suspect,
is still detained at the ninth precinct police
station.
Detectives Tyser and Trumbo last night
run down a supposed clue in connection
with the Gozman murder, but it amounted
to nothing. They were called to local
theater in response to a message that
dollar bill. taken in at the box office,
had traces of blood on it. The person who
handed the bill in at the box office, in pay
ment for a seat, was called out by the Of
ficers and he informed them that he had
been paid off by his employer yesterday
afternoon, and that the bill in question was
one received as part of his salary. The
employer was interviewed. and it developed
that he received the money from butcher
during the day, and that accounted for the
bloodstains.
John Taylor, colored, Of Anacostia. was
taken into custody yesterday afternoon on
suspicion in the Jordan case, but he was
released after making statements TO the
officers which were corroborated by per-
sons referred to by him. Taylor was ar
rested because the officers had been In
formed that he washed blood from his
hands while In a pool room In Anacostia
Christmas eve but 1t developed that the
blood was smeared on his hands while he
was carrying a Christmas turkey home
Henson's Past Record.
Lieutenant Daley today made inquiries
into Henson's past record and found that
he had served time in Jail on several occa-
sions for assault, and about two years ago
he was arrested for stabbing his brother
for which he was convicted and served a
term in jail It was also ascertained that
he attacked his brother-in-law with razor
about two weeks ago, but the latter man
aged to escape from Henson before he
could use the weapon.

BATTLE SHIPS IN WAX.
Secrets Of the Testing Tank Of the
British Admiralty Constructors.


One Of the most important. and certainly
the lest known Of our naval establishments
Is the testing house at Haslar. So jealousy
are the secrets Of this place guarded that
naval officers even are not allowed to enter
it unless they first obtain an official per-
nit. These permits are but sparingly
granted for the British admiralty has
penchant for not letting its right hand as
represented by one branch of the service,
know what its left hand, represented by
other branches, is doing. In this case Sc
crecy is not maintained without good rea-
son, for the testing tank. to give the place
Its everyday name. is a sort OF incubator.
where the ideas Of naval architects are
Matched out. When the chief constructor
designs a new ship his proposals are laid
before the admiralty, and. II approved,
rough draft is sent to the officials in charge
plete model Of the proposed new man-of-
war. and carry out experiments which
demonstrate to nicely whether ship OF
the submitted design will achieve what Is
expected Of II.
The model is made to scale and Of par
afine wax. the only substance suitable for
the purpose. 1t is then placed in a long
tank filled with water. To the bow of the
model is affixed a length Of string having
weight hung at the other end OF it. This
weight gradually draws the model along
the tank. AS it moves calculations are
made. which give the speed Of the vessel
under various conditions and with differ
emit engine powers. Stability is also ascer-
tanned. for two guides run on either side of
thu model the full length Of the tank. Care
rul watch is kept to see whether the model
heels to one side or the other, and not until
ii has hoated the full distance without
touching the guides is the stability correct.
Should the model lean to one side or the
other the top-heavy parts are carefully
shaved OFF until perfect equilibrium Is OBJ
tanned. The shavings are then weighed in
delicate balances, and calculations made
which give to a pound the reductions in
weight which have to be made In various
parts Of the ship to insure her the right de-
gree of metacentric height When this has
been done the information obtained IS sent
up to the admiralty. The necessary modi
fications are made and the complete plans
of the ship got out. Once again the testing
tank is called into operation. More wax
models are made and tried, and not until
the officials at Haslar report that all is as
desired is the order to build the ship given.
The tanks were established as the out
come Of series Of important experiments
in the effect OF wave motion upon ships.
These experiments were begun by the late
Mr. Froude, brother Of James Anthony
Froude, who made discoveries of such i'm
portance that the admiralty adopted his
methods of research. and set up the estab-
lishment at Haslar. placing Mr.. Froude in
charge Of 1t.
