An Odd Fish.

One of the oldest fishes that ever
swan in any sea is that known to nat
uralists under the unattractive name Of
ophiocephalus. A species of it is found
in the sea Of Galilee. where it builds a
nest which for beauty of design and ell
egance Of workmanship excels the eff
forts of the majority Of feathered nest
builders. Its favorite spot for building
is in an old root or rock projecting I'M
der the water, and the material con-
sists of seaweed, grass and leaves.

There is no doubt whatever that in
an early day before the forests were
all removed the timbered sections of
the country were much better adapted
to the growth and development of fruit
than they are today. During the fifties
in. the state of Wisconsin it was an
easy matter to raise the finest kind of
Pippins, Baldwins, Spies, Greetings
and other choice varieties OF apples
which today it is folly there to plant.

TEN BUSHELS MORE PER ACRE.

We think that 1t will be generally adj
mitted that it is possible to increase
the yield of the corn crop at least ten
bushels per acre. This will be done
largely in the line of securing better
quality Of seed corn, corn Of better
type. The better preparation of the
ground before planting will also help,
as we'll as the more thorough cultiva
ton Of the crop. Touching on the i'm
portance of the seed used and the type
of corn raised, we. mention that thirty
samples of corn, supposed to be the
best that thirty corn raisers could en-
ter for premiums, offered at a farmers
institute and carefully scored varied in
proportion of corn to cob from 68 to 8S
per cent. Of the thirty samples exhibit
ed twenty-seven were what might be
properly called scrub corn, showing no
distinct type or breeding, the best corn
exhibited being pure bred corn. We
believe that seven bushels per acre
may be added to the product of any
cornfield by the use Of pure bred seed,
just as 81 per hundredweight is added
to the value of pure bred steer. This
reform may be easily brought about by
any man. who will give. the thought to
this subject which it deserves. The 9th
er three bushels per acre we believe
can be secured in the matter alone Of
more thorough preparation of the
ground before planting. w..

Scholarship Plan of
 Kindergarfen Board.

The plan adopted by the Free Kinder garten board to provide ten scholarships for two years in the Training school is being heartily endorsed and it Is be- lieved that the plan will be as successful in Birmingham as it has proven In other cities.
 As already outlined the board has ar ranged for these scholarships on the plan similar to that adopted by other ed ucational institutions.
 The plan provides a two years train ing, the tuition of which, amounting to one hundred dollars (ffty dollars year) must be paid to the board two years af- ter a pupil graduates from the Training school. This means practically that four years will be allowed in which to pay for the two years tuition in the school.
 As previously announced Miss Snyder. the superintendent of the Free Kinder gartens, will meet all young women who desire to take kindergarten training, this morning at 10 o'clock, at the residence of Mrs. William n. Smith. 1726 Fourteenth avenue
 The plan as outlined will be of mutual benefit to the kindergartens and to the number of young women who are de- prived of kindergarten training, and who would gladly avail themselves of an op- portupity that will later result in mak- ing them self-supporting.
 By making these arrangements with the kindergarten board. any young wo- man of ambition and energy will hardly feel that she has assumed too great ob- legations and burdens for her young shoulders She will soon recognize the advantages of the kindergarten training, her practical experience being gained in the daily work in the several kindergar- tens of the city and her theory work to be arranged for by Miss Snyder on cer- tain afternoons m each week.
 The training schools operated in con nection with the Birmingham kindersar- tens have never been as largely attended as those in other Kindergarten tenters. In Louisville alone there are fifty and sixty graduates every year. and it was through the scholarship plan first adopted

1 nues Towers, church spires and all the interesting points about a great city may be plainly seen.
 The new building meets new condtions; new demands that are the result of well directed effort on the part of the principal of the school to have an ideal institution. Under the administration of Mrs. Edmund Taylor Taliaferro the Pollock-Stephens is recognized as one of the leading schools in the south. its graduates being admit ted without examination to Wellesley, Vassar and Bryn Mawr
 The coming session will open brilliantly. Mrs. Taliaferro has as associate principal Madame Catherine Deschamps Elford, a highly gifted and accomplished woman. She is a native of Paris The faculty is stronger than ever and the formal open ing of the new building will mark an era in educational circles.
 ''rhe plan of the building was outlined some three years ago by Mrs. Talia fferro. and she is delighted that the new home of the Pollock Stephnes fulfls her l ideal of a school building
 Every point has been carefully consid- ered,' said Mrs. Taiafferro yesterday and the building represents much thought and close attention to detail
 My long experience in teaching has taught me just what Is necessary for the physical comfort and health of a girl. and in my plans for this building I considered ventilation, perfect sanitation, easy stair ways large and airy class rooms, and , indeed every thing that could be condu- cive to the comfort and happiness of Pol lock-Stephens girls
 Tn addition to our fine heating advan- tages," continued Mrs. Taliafferro, "the building is lighted throughout with elec- tricity and equipped with telephones. We also expect to have hot or cold luncheons and l think that every Pollock Stephens girl will feel that she has been individual ly thought of"

Pollock-Stephens gr it is said will die by the colors of her school. They are crimson and white and they will greet her when the massive front doors open wide their portals.
 The handsome new building of the Pollock-Stephens is practically complet- ed and everything will be in readiness for the opening of the fall session. It has been erected at q cost of twenty thou sand dollars and is one of the most com pote and elegant school buildings in the south
 Charles and II. B. Wheeloek, the well | known architects, have never completed @ building more admirably suited to the purposes intended. It is perfect architec- turally. Every bit of space has been utilized and the entire building is abso- lutely hawless in point of construction, interior arrangement, ventilation, light ing. heating all conforming to every hygienie an1 sanitary requirement..
 The building is purely Grecian and is erected of red brick and stone. The entrance on the West Twentieth street side is very imposing. On either side of a richly-tiled vestibule rise handsome col- umns in succeed effects. The beautiful vestibue leads directly into the reception hall, which is hung with white and red. the ceiling and frieze being in rich moire effects. To the left is the reception room, luxuriousy and artistcally fur nished and on the right rises the stair way. The parlofs and library are on the first floor, d large part of which is also taken up by the gymnasium. This is one of the most attractive features of the new building. It is 90xG0 feet per fectly ventilated, and will be splendidly equipped Miss Emmie Jackson Bond, d graduate of the Curry school of Boston, will be in charge of the gymnasium.
 On the second floor are the class rooms. nine in number. the music rooms, the Kindergarten and primary rooms and the chemical and physical laboratory. The bath rooms, lavatories and cloak rooms are also on the second floor.
 The third floor is taken up by the mag nihcent assembly hall, an ideally arrang- ed auditorium with a handsome stage thirty-eght by sixty feet.
 The building is four stories, including well-ventilated and airy cellar. The entire building is heated with steam and both the health and comfort of the pu- pills have been carefully considered The building from every point of view will rank with the most modern and beautiful school buildings in the south.
 It's location on West Twentieth street is ideally picturesque. It commands an enchanting view of Capitol park, cool, quiet, delightful, while perfectly accessi- hle to all the cars.
