New Departure I'm Public School Eds
 ucaffon In Missouri.
 Nearly 5000 school children in Mis- souri are receiving instruction this year in the primary courses of agricut ture, says Columbia special dispatch to the St Louis Republic. More than 100 teachers who attended the Mis- sourd university last summer and tooh the course in agriculture and horticul ture are giving instruction in those branches in the public schools this year with excellent results.
 Tn the teaching of these branches G public school students special attention is paid to beautifying the schod grounds and the yards and lawns oa the chiIdren's homes. The school yard is planted in flowers, trees and shrubt and under the direction of the teacher is cultivated by the students. Ths teachers find that the students taka great interest in the work, and they en counter very little difficulty in contin uing the course.
 It has been the aim of the MissouA university to encourage tie teachini of agriculture in the public schools and the efforts of the university ar now achieving results By next veal agriculture and horticulture probabli will be taught in majority of th ps1tltn schaals nfzthe stn*s.

WONDERFUL WEATHER WISDOM
Another Milhon Dollars Would Inn

Another Million Dollars Would In-
 prove the Service Very Much.
 A recent contributor to the Sun, of New York, commenting upon the fact potent to all the public, that the wealth CT bureau at Washington daily gets deeper into the mire of ineficiency un. der the direction of Willig.Moore, sug- gests that if the congress would ap- propriate another million of dollars. the service would be improved. He thinks the bureau is handicapped be. cause there are not enough observers in the field watching the clouds, and be- cause they do not make hourly observa- tions. Tn other words, the problem of a practical and veritable climatic fore cast can be solved if more minute and voluminous information regarding con. stantly changing meteorological condi- tions is sent to Washington in gib- perish cypher to be translated and tab- ulated by an army of clerks. What the Washington weather bureau lacks is a head capable of formulating rules based upon the laws governing meteor ological conditions, and then applying them to the existing state of such phe- nomena as reported by the observers. With this date in hand, and the weath CT records Of many past years piled up in the vaults Of the weather bu reau, all properly assinilated by the forecaster. he should also be. scien- tifca1ly educated nleteorologist hav ing at his command a vast store of knowledge upon germane subjects like Huxley or a Darwin. Thus equipped. and knowing the actual con- ditions of the hour or day over a wide extent of territory, the "chief' of the bureau ought to be able to tell what the weather will be six or dozen hours hence upon his own doorstep. This is more than Willis Moore has done, or can do. notwithstanding he invents an ice box stove, machine for reproducing forecasts. dabbles in wireless telegraphy down the Poto- mae,' and lectures now and then be- fore people as ignorant as himself on ssEIow a weather map is made" 1t is not more money which is needed, but brains The weather service costs too much already as at present conducted. A larger sum of money spent on the bureau would be as useless as the cancer fund being raised in England for the purpose of discovering the origin of that disease, would be if # was handed over to an uneducated lay man.-Fuller-Wal NJ.

ROGERS & BROTHERS MEN.
Voted on Strike Issue, But Do Not
 Yet Know the Result.

Let hnoW the Result.
 At largely attended meeting last night of the employees of Rogers S Brothers factory who belong to the Buffers and Polishers,' Platers' and Brass Workers union, local 37. vote was taken on the question as to whether the men would stand by the demands of the International Metal Workers union for a nine hour day in all silver concerns. Tn other words were the men willing to strike since their demands had already been refus- ed by the various manufacturing con. cerns.
 How the vote resulted is not yet known. The vote was by secret bal- lot. The vote was not counted in front of the men nor was the result announced. They are just as ignorant and will be as much as anybody in the city as to how they voted on the question. They can guess on the sub Ject,. but the vote will be counted in Mer1den to-day together with the votes of the employees of the factories or the International Silver Co in Bridgeport Meriden, Wallingford and Shelton. The employees of the inde- pendent silver concerns are not voting upon the question. Three-fourths of the employees voting must be in favor of a strike or none will be declared The majority of the employees of Rogers & Brother are decidedly op- posed to a strike. They are well satis- lied with the condition of their present employment. Said one employe: q think that it is all cut and dried. There vii be strike, in my opinion, for the international officers favor one. The employees of Rogers Brother are well satisfied but they will have to strike if the officers of the information al union order it. If the matter of or- dering strike at the local factory rested with the employees themselves, 1t can be safely said that there would be no strike.'
 The meeting last night was very in- teresting and was largely attended. Organizer M. J. Hanlon of Meriden was present and explained the situa- ton to the men about the demand for nine hours being made, it being re- fused and the conferences thereupon held between the officers of the inter national silver concern and the officers Of the International Metal Workers union. During the course of his re. marks a member asked him if the nine hour day had been granted by any factories since the recent demand was made. Mir Hanlon replied that two factories, one in Brooklyn and the other in Canada had granted the de- mand. He furthermore said that the independent concerns were willing to give the nine hour day if the inter- national company was willing.

UNDERTAKERs' CERTIFICATES.
Out of 45s Only Four Took the Exam
 nations.

Out of 45s Only Four Took the Exam nations Hartford, Oct 16.-The Connecticut board of examiners and embalmers met at the Capitol Wednesday. The board has granted certificates to 45S undertakers in this state. Of this tions and this was because the others entered the business before the first of last January. The board has exam ined nine candidates and four passed the examinations. No action was taken Wednesday on the other cases. The undertakers who passed were: Michael F. Hearn of Danbury, Andrew Taylor of Darien, William E. Hall of Ansonia and George T. Perry of Wa terbury.
 The candidates were examined in New Haven last week. They had twenty-six questions to answer and then they had an opportunity to dis play their skill in a practical way upon a body at the Yale Medical school. While in New Haven the members of the board attended the school of em- u. B. Barnes, assistant demonstrator of the Chicago college of embalnning. The members were highly pleased at the demonstration of the professor, and at the meeting Wednesday it was decided to engage him to hold schools of em- balming at three cities in this state next month. They will be given in Hartford and Bridgeport and the third city has not yet been selected. The board has been asked to have him go to Norwich.
 Prof Barnes will remain three days in each city and in each place will give a practical demonstration upon body. Only undertakers who pos sess certificates from the board will be allowed to attend the school. Charles J. Dillon, the Hartford member of the board. said Wednesday that undertak- CTS would be able to secure good deal of information from the school. There has been a big advance in undertaking methods in recent years and it is very rare now that one sees an undertaken ice box.

SNOW IN OCTOBER.
Twenty Seven Years Ago Yesterday a
 Record Ball Occurred.

h9cOrd b4ld OccuITeQ.
 It may be interesting to learn that twenty seven years ago to-day, on De- tober 15, 1876, when the season was no more advanced than dt iS to-day, a heavy fall of snow surprised the then residents of New Britain, says the Herald of chat place, establishing a record whddh has not been equalled since that year.
 Previous to 1876 there is record of no snowfall so early in October until we go back to 1S41, when, on October 3, there was fall of 8 to 10 inches. the record for the past 75 years. It is hardly probable that October, 1903, will establish any records in the snow line. It has a unique reputation, how ever, for steady and uninterrupted rad1fall, that of last week.

BILE, so jammed were they with cotton
wagons and busy farmers, and the
stores reaped a harvest. Despite the
slump in cotton price hundreds of bales
went on the sales table and turned
loose flood of dollars. Yesterdays
receipts of 900 bales, with Fridays re-
ce1pts of 7OO-a total of 1900 wagon
bales in two days-combine to start a
currency movement the like of which
