that the commencement be held this

concurred in, and the commencement
will this year take place before the
last day of school, instead of after

IL was ordered that a better piano be
secured for Lincoln building.
Secretary Sutherland stated that he
and President Leake yesterday called
on Mayor Yeiser and protested against
the city's Withholding three per cent
of the school funds for maintaining
the library. The mayor informed
them''that il they would secure writ
ten opinion from the city attorney
that the money was withheld illegal
ly, he would order it turned over to
them. They did so, and the money,
amounting to $500, was promptly or
dered paid over to the board.
The special committee appointed to
investigate the school building bond
affair, reported that it was decided af-
ter mature elaboration, that as the
money paid to the board of education
by the city and state is sufficient to
maintain the schools only, and hardly
sufficient for that, the necessary addi-
tional facilities for increasing atten-
dance ,etc., made il expedient to issue
bonds. 1t was recommended that the
board ask the council to order vote
taken at the November election on
whether or not to Issue ESQ. 900 in
bonds for building new schools, the
money to be used as follows: Eleven
thousand dollars for q new two story
eight-room building in Mechanicsburg
the four rooms upon the ground floor
to be prepared for immediate use and
those upon the top floor left unfinished
so they could be used whenever de-
sired in future years; $4,000 for one
story four-room new building some
where north of Trimble street, to re-
lieve the coDgested condition Of that
section; %, 500 to place steam heat
ing system in at the Franklin build
ing, 1000 for heating radiators at
the Longfellow building, $1,000 to
refurnish four rooms at the Washing
ton building; $4,000 for High school
apparatus, and $500 for Washington
and Jefferson building heating plants.
II these bonds are voted the secretary
explained, for thirty year period at
4 per cent interest, laying aside 2 per
cent of the school funds each year
will create a sinking fund in thirty
years sufficient to pay all the interest
and take up the bonds at the expiration
of that time.
1t was stated along this line that
the Lee building at Fourth and Ohio
would probably be condemned in a
year or two if not remodeled and over

The CAntrol of Rain,

1t is a matter of common knowledge
thai in hiiiy situations the rainfall is
much above the average, and that a
town may be so situated with regard
to ~neighboring elevations that it will
receive tWo or three times the amount
OF rain in a year that falls on a place
only a few miles distant. A case is
quoted in one Of Professor Tyndall's
lectures, where the rainfall of one
Irish town amounts to ffty-nine in
ches. and of another to only twenty
one inches, the difference being due
to the action of the Kerry Mountains
in forcing the moist winds up sud
denly to a higher level, where they
meet with the cord necessary to pre-
cipitate their moisture as rain. An
English scientist has suggested that
the rainfall might be controlled arti-
ficially by the erection of iumense
walls. extending from some six or
seven miles In length. and from three
hundred to four hundred feet high.
Such walls would act as natural hills
in diverting the path of the moisture
laden air. and the clouds would be
forced to yield their treasures. The
Idea seems to be theoretically sound,
but the practical difficulties of build.
ing a wall Of such dimensions would
be insuperable.

The necessity for this apparatus
arises in the wholesale way in which
corn is raised in the West. where
farmers carry on their plans on such
a large scale that machinery has come
to be n positive necessity to manipu-
late the enormous quantities of grain
which are produced every year. This
machine, the idea of L.cavitt r. Loo

sists of a series Of rollers set at an
angle and rotated by a number of
gear wheels meshing in a common
driving wheel, which may be actuated
by power or hand. The faces of the
rollers are supplied at frequent inter
walls with shore spikes. which rip the
huSks off the ears of corr and drop
them on an elevator beneath the roll
ers, while the ears of corn gradually
work their way down the incline and
drop into the basket at the lower end.
1t is obvious that the rotation of the
ear on the rollers in it's passage will
present all sides to the action of the
pins. thus removing at least a sufi-
cient portion of the husks to make the
ear pass readily through the machine
which remove the kernels from the

How Grant Became a Smoker.

Gen. James Grant Wilson addressed
the Historical Society of Pennsylva-
MIA on the subject Of Personal Rem.
i"niscences OF Lincoln and Grant"
Among many interesting yarns spun
by the general was one setting forth
how Grant became a great smoker. 1t
seems that after one of Grants great
victories he was seen riding down the
line with a half-smoked unlit cigar in
his mouth. In reporting the affair the
war correspondents one and all men.
toned the incident of the %half-burnt
cigar.
1t was not long after that every ex-
press from the north brought the gen.
eral packages Of cigars. until there
were 10000 cigars received at camp.
Up to that time Grant had been In the
habit Of smoking but two or three
cigars a day. But with this unlimited
supply, and feeling hat as they were
gifts he could not give them away, he
started to smoke them wholesale, and
thus acquired a tremendous appetite

the letters. We are reminded of tlOse

his own ingenuity, Charles H. Spur

The Definition of White liuht,

Herr Plank defines white light as
follows: First, by the distribution of
the energy in different regions of the
spectrum; secondly, by the law that
within each small spectral region
within which the energy may be con,
sidered as uniformly distributed, the
energies Squares Of the a%mplitudes)
and the phases of the simply periodic
partial vibrations are distributed in an
absolutely irregular fashion-''irregu.
lar being taken in the sense in which
it is used in the probability calculus.
If we extend the second law to the en-.
tire spectrum the distribution of en-
ergy throughout the spectrum can be
calculated, and the resultant energies
agree with the energies actually meas.
ured in experiments on normal white
light.

Effects Of Cold STORAGE.

The agricultural department has
begun a series of Investigations into
the matter of old storage. There are
several mysterious phenomenon which
takes place in cold storage ware
houses. Fol instance, it has been
noted that one lot of fruit will keep
l. fine condition for many months,
while another nearby will decay in a
few days. This is particularly true of
peaches. 1t has alao been noticed that
some peaches lose their delicate flavor
very quickly in cold storage, while
others are not affected in that way in
the least. Government agents are
trying to discover the causes of these
contrary effects.
