We get from the New York Mail and
Express this interesting description of
one of the latest diversions of the
smart set of that city. The incident
described occurred on a ferry boat rum
ming between Newport and WEXFORD,
when the boat was loaded with society
people returning from wedding that
had set fashionable circles agog. A
man in a frock coat and lavender
gloves was attempting to gain the up
per deck of the boat by climbing q. tin
rain pipe. Then appeared upon the
scene Mr.. Harry Lehr. The story con-
tinues: zone of the men had a cane
which the liveliest of the women cast
at the playful Lehr. Being a woman,
the walking stick fell some ten feet
from where it was intended to land;
but Mr.. Lehr, getting down on all
fours, ran in the direction of the cane,
grasped it between his teeth, ran back
to the boat rail and deposited it at the
feet of one of the women, who, by
this time, had reached the upper deck,
but not by the rainpipe. Then Mr..
Lehr parked IN imitation OF a uoS,
amid the roars of all hands. Several
times the harmless game was repeated.
and each time Mr.. Lehr made big
hit. The fun ran rampant until the
General left the slip for Wexford, and
even in midstream Mr.. Lehr could be
seen making a pretense of turning the
fire hose on another of the young men
who was anxious to lay aloft via the
gutterpipe route"

The scientists continue their hard
chase for the secret of life. Some
months ago it was announced that
Prof. Jacques Loeb of Chicago had
succeeded in artif1cially fertilizing GER
tain germs of marine life, and now a
story comes from the University of
California to the effect that Prof.
Clark of that institution, who has been
experimenting along lines similar to
those of Prof. Loeb, but with land in
stead of marine insects. has demon
strated that the wings of the rose aphis
can be developed or modified by chem
ical excitation, and that their growth
is not due to causes hitherto assigned.
AS a result of his experiments, Prof.
Clark has shown that by changing the
food he can alter and control the
growth and development of the insect.
From this starting point 1t is thought
that the secret of the higher forms of
life NAV be unrave1ed.

A naval officer is quoted as saying
that the lesson of the explosion of the
Iowa's big gun during target practice
the other day is that such heavy ord
nance is only shortlived at best, and
that what the navy needs is a greater
number of the more reliable and quite
effective small bore rapid-fire guns. He
is of the opinion that the most formid-
able fighting craft af1oat are those pro-
vided with 5-inch and 8-inch guns,
since such pieces fight faster and hit
oftener than anything larger.

This belongs to our country, not to
Charleston alone" said Secretary
Moody to the Mayor of Charleston,
having reference to the monument
erected in commemoration of the he
roes of the Confederate torpedo boat
Hundley. 1t was a graceful speech,
and was as gracefully received. Now,
will not the Secretary, and the North,
admit that the same is true of the
thousands of brave Americans who
laid down their lives for the Confed-
crate cause? They belong to our
country" not to the South alone. in
that they illustrated the valor. self
sacrifice and devotion OF American
manhood and patriotism.

Why do the men of North Carolina
put their hands into their pockets at
the railway stations and other public
places? An observant Chicagoan pass
ing through North Carolina recently
counted 1853 men at the stations. Of
these 321 had their hands in their
pockets and 316 We're leaning up
against something. as if they were too
feeble to stand. An appeal was made
to DIR. Dabney, of the University of
Tennessee, to explain the phenomenon.
He said that the men were merely en-
joying a temporary relaxation from
Gheir customary habits of life and
had assumed what might be termed an
attitude of repose. By placing their
hands in their pockets they added to
the ease and gracefulness of their
positions and disposed of what might
otherwise be awkward members. A
North Carolina mountaineer, he ex-
planned, puts his hands into his pock-
cts for the same reason that a Span
ssh signorita handles a fan.

THE UNIVERSITY SUMMER SCHOOL

There will be no need for teachers
of Georgia to go outside of the state
this year for the purpose of getting the
benefits of summer course of study
at university. All they can posi-
bly, desire in that direction they will
find at the University Summer School
at Athens. which will begin July and
end Aug. 8.
1t is estimated that fully 500 teachers
left the state last summer to attend
summer schools. 1t is gratifying to
know that no teachers need go this
summer. No better instructors will be
found anywhere than those who have
been chosen to conduct the course at
Athens. They are eminent in their re-
spective departments.
And Athens is a delightful city in
which to spend the summer months.
The city is making preparations to ac-
commodate all visitors. There will be
no trouble in that respect. 1t is stated
the city of Athens has contributed 49,
900 to the school, the General Education
Board $4,000 and the university 81, 900.
There seems to be every reason for
predicting that the school will prove
to be a great success.

At Chester, Pa, the factory girls are
up in arms because an inspector has
ordered them to wear their hair on top
of their heads. They claim the right
to wear their hair in the manner that
they think most becoming, and many
of them have been wearing it braided
down their backs. Yet the order is
based on common sense. Recently sew
eral girls have been terribly injured by
their hair becoming entangled in the
machinery of the mills. The other day
one of them was literally scalped by a
rapidly moving machine belt.

The Northern New York Old Maids
Convention was in session last week
in the village of Pittsford. near Ro-
chester. The president of the con-
vention, Miss Higginson, severely ar
raigned President Roosevelt for his
opinions on race suicide" President
Roosevelt is the father of large fam
lily" said President Higginson, but he
is not the mother of a large family,
therefore he is not qualified to give an
expert opinion" From the vantage
ground of her spinsterhood Miss Hig-
ginson, of course, is eminently qualified
to give expert opinions respecting the
size of families.

A More Progressive Type than the

Evolved It.
Special to Tho Journal.

Special to The journal.
Spokane, Wash, Oct. "a
gigantic engineering work of prehts-.
toric times is reported to have been
of Spokane. THE discoverer of this
enormous work is a surveyor, William
Ashley, Jr., who has been engaged In
laying out the boundaries to drainage
district No. in Hoodoo valley, some
thirty miles northeast Of Rathdrum,
Idaho.
Works that may form a link between
the present and the unknown past
were found in the valley, works that
apparently took years to construct and
| the employment OF many hands
| AS Ashley was running the line OF
| the drainage district along the edge
of a swamp, known as Hoodoo lake,
he ran across a mound Of peculiar
shape that caused him to stop and In
vestigate. The mound was covered by
trees two feet thru, which may have
been hundreds of years old, yet the
! sides Of the mound and its construction
seemed too regular to admit of it's
| having resulted from any freak of
| nature.
A further investigation indicated the
artificial construction of the mound.
Broken rocks were found covered with
earth. The mound was followed for
6,1o0 feet. It Is stated that 1t was 8
| IeeC at the DaSe, leet HIGH auu +
feet wide on top. -.al
In one place it has been cut in
recent years, but in another it has the
appearance Of having been broken
and swept away by floods in time long
past. Mr.. Ashley had heard of the
dixie before, but was inclined to the
belief that it was an old moran of the
glacial period, such as are frequently
encountered. Upon seeing it, how
/ ever, his attention was arrested by the
singular regularity of it's form, and his
investigation convinced him that it
was the work Of man. go ''r --,'>.'
| The dixie lies along the edge Of a
swamp which is known as HOodoO
lake, the country being thickly covered
with timber and underbrush. From
the present condition of the earth's sur
face in that section, there is some
question for what the dixie was built.
Unless there has been some change in
| the earth's surface, the dixie would
have been useless for irrigation pur-
poses, but 1t might have been con-
structed to keep back the waters of
the lake. The theory is that it was
not built by the Indians, but by some
prehistoric race Of more peaceful
and progressive type than the red men.
But IL so, who were they? Whence
did they come and how did they perish
from the land? r
