STUDENTS FROM NICARAGUA.
Fifteen to Be Sent to Southern Agri-
cultural Colleges.

DESTROYS of developing the countrys agri-
cultural resources by scientific methods the
government of Nicaragua has decided to
send to the United States fifteen students
who shall be educated at the government
expense at various agricultural schools In
the southern states. Senior Corea. the Mica
raguan minister, spent some time at the
State Department this morning discussing
the plan with Secretary Hay. The minister,
through the kindness of the Secretary OF
Agriculture, has been supplied with detailed
information regarding the advantages Of
fered at American schools for the study
of agriculture, and will shortly select the
institutions at which his countrymen VIII
study.
Extraordinarily my country has great pos
sibilities," said the minister today. and
scientific methods will rapidly develop Mic
aragua's resources. 1t is proposed that
careful examination shall come to the
United States this summer and enter the
several colleges in the fall. They will de-
vote particular attention to the practical
methods Of farming and upon the compile
ton of their courses of study will return
home prepared to establish an experimental
station under the direction of the govern
ment and to introduce the scientific methods
which have been pursued with such sue
cess by American agriculturists."
Considerable interest is manifested here
at this plan Of the Nicaraguan government,
as It Is understood that larger number
of students will probably be sent to Amer
lea another year.

Sterilizing Underclothing.
From the Hospital.

In a recent number OF Lyons Medical at
tention is drawn to the frequency of cutan-
eous eruptions among children at certain
creches These errptions took the form
of boils, pustules and erythematous rashes'
and for several years had been very preva-
lent at the Creche de la Charlie. The use
of antiseptics In the form Of lotions anf;
ointments had failed to stay the outbreak.
The plan was then tried of using sterilized
cloth for dressing the children, and at once
an Improvement in their condition mani
tested Itself. The infection ceased to
spread to new cases. except ON portions OF
, the scalp and the use of sterilized caps
soon put a stapsto this, while. so far as the
children already affected were concerned.
they began to improve from the day Oh
which the treatment was commenced. The
matter is of some interest, and one can
hardly avoid asking what Is meant by the
sterilization of underlinen? Surely 1t must
mean that 1t is boiled. 1t used to be, and
perhaps still Is the custom in France 70
wash clothes In cold running water. plan
by which. however thoroughly they may
be lathered and rubbed and beaten, thsy
certainly are not sterilized-
Years ago a virulent outbreak OF puel-
perai fever In one of the London lying-in

which the linen of the establishment was
dealt with. 1t was washed. undoubt eddy.

Auto Team Trials.

There was an informal meeting of the
racing committee Of the Automobile Club
of America in New York yesterday. Mr..
Dave Hennen Morris of the committee de-
clared the subject discussed had nothing
whatever to do with the international cup
race or the elimination trials of the Amer
lean candidates.
1.-The public can rest assured" he said,
that the tests to which the American ma
chimes will be put will be Of the severest
and most thorough character"
Mr. Morris replied with nothing more
than a smile to question as to whether the
trials would be held in this country or
abroad and when pressed for an answer as
to where they really would take place re-
sponded with a laugh. They say, you
know, that we are going to hold them on
the Florida beach"

Delicate Measurements.

From the Detroit Free Press.
1t may seem ridiculous. but it is never
theless a fact. that the temperature Of the
hand can SO affect micrometer caliper as
ito make difference of 0.005 degrees or
0,O06 degrees in a measurement of the
same piece by different people We are
well aware Of the difference in temperature
fof the hands OF people with whom we come
an contact. As a result of this. in order to
standarize measurements, the Bethlehem
Steel Company is compelled to maintain the
of its machine shop where this
particular work Is carried on at 10 degrees.
and the inspection Is so rigid that the gov
eminent inspectors will not measure parts
of guns for assemblage when the tempera-
ture of the shop varies more than degrees
above or below this point. For this reason
the person who starts a cut for shrinkage
surface must finish it regardless of the
time consumed in so doing.

A Marvel Of Science.
From the Omaha Mercury.


During visit to the south with an eclipse
expedition some years ago an eminent
American professor met an old negro ser
want whose duty it was to look after the
chickens of the establishment where he was
staying. The day before the eclipse took
place the professor In an idle moment called
the old man to him and said: Sam, If to-
morrow morning at II o'clock you watch
your chickens you will find they will all go
to roost''
Sam was skeptical, of course. but when at
the appointed time next day the sun In the
heavens was darkened and the chickens
retired to roost the negroes establishment
knew no bounds. He approached the pro-
fessor in awed wonder. .Massa," he asked.
how long ago did you know dat dem chick
ems would go to roost?"
s.Oh, long time, said the professor
airily.

Yes"
Then dat beats de debili" exclaimed the
astonished old man. Dem chickens weren't

To Insure Work.

One of the chief aims of the commission
has been to devise system of settlement
which would keep the miners at work and
give them employment for larger portion
of the year. It had to be assumed at the
outset that only verdict which was salts
factory TO the men could be counted on to
keep them at work. The miners union is
not Incorporated; 1t has no legal RESPONSE

Causes of Strike.

The Presidents instructions to the COM
mission required 1t to go into the question
Of the causes out of which the controversy
arose" The causes ascribed by the COM
mission will not be entirely comforting TO
the operators.
1t has been indisputably shown that the
men had actual grievances when they went
on strike; that they offered to submit them
to arbitration. and that II their offer Of
arbitration had been accepted there would
have been no coal famine which in the end
became so desperate as to force the Presi-
dent to act for the good of the public.
The contention made by the operators
that they are unable to pay higher rates
for mining because several of the railroads
monopolizing the coal field had been I'M
able to pay dividends to their stockholders
it is understood will be answered by the
statement that the railroads have failed
to pay dividends because of their very
large overcapitalization and interest
charges
The opinion is. also held by the commits
sion that the public would be very glad to
pay small Increased price its coal II
by that means the miners could have salts
factory wages, and a recurrence of last
years strike could be prevented.

The question of recognition of the union
will not enter directly into the report. The
union will be recognized. however, by the
