EXPERIMENTAL AND WORKING PURPOSES

tutions, as the flowers Of the field, flour
ish best in soils peculiarly adapted to
them. So when three great mining
districts Of the country, Colorado, Mon
tana, and New Mexico established min
ing schools, the fathers of state planned
better than they knew. Though lily
supported during the early years OF
their existence and still greatly in need
of better support a brighter day seems
to await these institutions. With even
modest support the outlook is favorable
for them soon taking position In the
front ranks of mining schools Of the
world.
One of the most important features
has been the establishment Of number
of scholarships in connection with the
school. Through the generosity of the
members of the board of trustees, and
others, the New Mexico School Of Mines
has been able to establish ninety schol-
arships. Fifty Of these yield 500 an
nually, and are open to students living
in the United States.
Forty of these scholarships each yield
$25 annually and are open only to
students who are actual residents OF
New Mexico. They are good for one
year, and are bestowed at the beginning
of each academic year. These scholar
ships are awarded to the two students
from each county in New Mexico pass
ing the best entrance examination, or
examinations for advanced standing, or
presenting the evidences of best quail
fications for carrying on the work OF
the course selected.
These scholarships are awarded an
nually as honors. The main object
sought in the bestowal Of these honors
is the encouragement of scholarship
among those who wish to prosecute
studies relating to mining in this I'm
stitution.
The School of Mines Press issues a
number of publications. These include
the Mining Quarterly, the Annual Re
port OF the fTeSluelll, LIE <AHiAudA ASS6
lister, the Department Circulars, and
the Reports of the Geological Survey
The Mining Quarterly contains main.

As considerable emphasis is laid upon
original Investigations, among the In
structors and advanced students, en-.
couragement is given to undertake this
higher work by providing ready
means for disseminating the results as
they are obtained. The more important
papers read before the various societies
in the school are often included, togeth'
er with notes and notices Of systematic
work being carried on. and other infor'

The past year has been the most ssc-
cessful in every way Of any year in the
history of the New Mexico School of
Mines, located at Socorro. According
to the annual report recently filed In
the office of the Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction by DR.. G. r. Keyes,
president of the institution, the attend
ance over the previous year has In
creased over so per cent. A complete
reorganization Of the school has taken
place. The work has been so adjusted
to the public school system that the
student may now pass uninterruptedly
from the lowest grade to the highest
standard college course. There Is no
break between the early and the later
work. At the same time the standard
of the School of Mines has been raised
until 1t Is now equal to that of other
state educational institutions of the
country. The close articulation of the
school with the high schools and the
grade-schools has been mutually bene-
fetal in many ways.
One of the most important advance
ments made by the School of Mines Is
occasioned by the closing Of negotia-
tions whereby this institution is to ac-
uuire the Rio Grande Smelling works.
located near the college campus, as
part Of its material equipment. This
also is probably the most important
single step, next to the founding of the
higher educational institutions, that
has ever been taken in the interests OF
popular. practical and technical educa-
ton in New Mexico. 1t not only gives
New Mexicans opportunity to secure
practical education equal to that OBJ
tainable in any other institution in the
United States, but 1t marks an epoch in
the history of New Mexican education
in that, for the first time, people from
other parts of the country are turning
to New Mexico in order to obtain some-
thing in technical education that they
can not secure in any other state.

No Side Doors So Far.
The Vermont saloon has not vet
reached the family entrance" stage,
and the good deacon, who preached
temperance and drank for his stom-
ach's stake, under the old law, is hav-
ing hard shedding. The very openness
with which liquor is sold bars him
from getting q drink, as he has to buy
his liquid by the bottle and imbibe it
out in the barn. 1t was this class of
secret drinkers that made the prohibi-
ton law dismal failure There were
scores of places in all towns of any
size where a person could sneak into
a reputable business block, rap on a
blind door, get a drink and then go to
Thursday evening prayer meeting. Now
saloon doors must be unobstructed and
back rooms are not allowed.
SO much curiosity has been excited by
the new order of things that big
crowds hang around in front of the sa-
looms, watch the patrons drink and
make eXclusiveness impossible. If a
man takes a drink now the chances
are that all his friends will know about
it before shutdown.
There were small riots in several
towns when the saloons opened. Mid
dlebury looked as though cyclone
had struck it in the cold gray drawn
of the morning after" and the residents
called an Indignation meeting and an
pointed special police force. There
was trouble here, too, but it is believed
that Things will soon be regulated and
That the law will prove a success here

matter with his liver give him q ca
thartic (cholagogue) so the doctors
say, and so the people say. If the kid
neys do not act properly, give a diu-
retic so the doctors say, so most peo-
pie say. Thus il is the liver and kid
neys are prodded and whipped into
greater activity every time their func-
lions flag
Such people do not seem to under
stand that there is any such disease as
catarrh of the liver, and catarrh of the
kidneys. Cathartics and diuretics only
aggravate catarrh of the liver and kid
neys. Peruna is neither cathartic nor
diuretics. Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
This explains why it is that Peruna
cures a great number of liver and kid
ney diseases in which the usual rene
dies fail
1t is worse than useless to prescribe
cathartics for catarrh of the liver. 1t is
worse than useless to prescribe diu-
relics for catarrh of the kidneys Such
remedies only irritate, and make mat
tiers worse. Peruna cures such cases
promptly and permanently. Peruna
cures cAtarrh wherever it turks in
the system, whether of the head,
nose, throat, lungs, stomach, kid
neys, liver or pelvic organs.

Spontaneous Combustion.
From Casters Magazine.


Damp lampblack will ignite from the
suns rays. The same can be said of
cotton waste moist with lard or other
animal oil. Lampblack and little oil
or water will, under certain conditions.
ignite spontaneously. Nitric acid and
charcoal create spontaneous combus-
ton. New printers ink on paper when
in contact with a hot steam pipe will
ignite quickly. Boiled linseed oil and
turpentine in equal parts on cotton
waste will ignite in few hours under
mild heat and win in time create
enough heat to ignite spontaneously.
Bituminous coal should not be stored
where it will come in contact with
wooden partitions or column or against
warm boiler setting or steam pipes.
This coal should not be very deep if it
is to be kept on storage for a long per-
iod. If piled in the basement of
building it should be shallow and
free from moisture, and under good
ventilation. That liable to absorb
moisture should be burned first If on
fire small quantity of water showered
on this kind of coal chokes it upon the
top and retards any great supply of
water reaching the fire, thus necessi-
tating the overhauling of the pile.
Iron chips, filings or turnfngs should
not be stored in a shop in wooden
BOXES. Inc Oily waste which is not
infrequently thrown among them adds
to the danger of fire from this source.
The sweepings from the machine shoD
if kept on hand, should never be placed
over iron shavings. The mass of dis
integrated iron is enough to incite heat
and combustion. Iron and steel filings
and turnings when mixed with oil will
ignite spontaneously after becoming
