FREE LECTURES TO THE MIL
LIONS.

The sixteenth course of free lectures
| to the people will open next month. No
feature OF our educational system has
made more rapid progress. The attend
ance has steadily grown from %, 149, III
1889. when the lecture course was or
gained, to 1,204126 in the school year
1902-19Uo. The number of auditors last
year was 275.S79 greater than in the
preceding year. when the lectures were
delivered for the first time in all the
| !loroughs. Last year 1921 lectures were
delivered at 12S lecture centers, and ar
rangements have been made to increase
the number of lectures and halls for the
coming season.
The phenomenal growth of the sys-
| tenn shows that it fills a public need.
The lectures are not for children, but
for adults: and the enormous attend
ance of men and women, for school
children are excluded, has proved that
many thousands OF our Woodworking
citizens appreciate this means OF IN
struction.-New York Sun.

For the Week Ending September IA,
1903.
The past week was somewhat cooler
than the previous week. and the latter
part of the week was considera bly,
cooler Light frost occurred the latter
part of the week in the northern porto I
OF the territory but it has not yet been
ascertained whether crops suffered any
damage from them. High winds pre-
vailed over most of the territory the
latter part of the week, and in some
sections throughout the week. The
weather has been fair over the greater
portion of the territory, but showers
occurred in the eastern counties. The
showers We're generally light. but in
some localities there We're good rains
In many localities good rains occurred
the latter part of the previous week,
but too late to be reported in the bull
letin of that week. There was a. hail
storm at St. Joseph, Navajo county. on
the 9th but no considerable damage TO
crops appears to have resulted Irri-
cation water continues generally ample
for the needs of vegetation. AS whole
the past week has been favorable for
crops. which are maturing rapidly. In
llle IOWtI SOIOfauO valley the co
weather has been detrimental to some
crops, but generally it has been favor
able in that it retarded too rapid
growth. The corn crop is we'll advanced
toward maturity and in many localities
il is being harvested. AS a rule this
crop is good, and in some localities it
promises tn DE very large. In a few
sections, however the yield is less than
had been anticipated. The harvesting
of lata fields of grain * generally in
progress and the yield IS good. This
work had been delayed in some sections
by previous rains. Sorghum is doing
very we'll and is now quite generally
ready for harvest. In some localities
harvesting is now in progress. The
second and third crops of alfalfa are be-
ing harvested in the northern and east
EN- counties and the yield is general
reported to be good. The crop of hay in
Coconino county is reported to be very
line. Garden truck is doing well. The
crop of potatoes is generally reported
TO be very good. The later fruits are
generally quite abundant. Tie peaches
in ella county are reported to be of
fine quality. Feed on the ranges is
abundant, and water for stock in gen
orally plentiful. Cattle are low in FIRE
Condition. The prospects for a plentiful
supply of winter feed are excellent.

LEAVES THAT FLOAT LIKE WAT
ER RIIGS.

French botanists have been amusing
themselves by causing leaves to swim
about in water in avery mysterious and
animai-like way. The Peruvian or false
pear tree is tree much grown in
rance, and a piece broken from one
of its leaves and thrown upon the water
soon began to glide over the surface.
The propelling force is the essential oil
issuing from the break. The phenome-
non is shown even more Strikingly by
a Chinese shrub, and NJ. Lequet men,
tons his delight at seeing these leaf
fragments glide about like water bugs
or spiders, turning to and fro, pirouet-
ting and making continual circuits.

RACES OF TINY MEN.

Pigmies seem to have existed in Eu-
rope until quite modern times, although
the race is row known only in the CEN
trail part of Africa. A German eth
nologist. G.. Thilenius, finds that some
skeletons eXhumed near Breslau, in
Silesia. shown an average height of
only four feet nine inches, and Swiss
remains described by HOLMAN were but
four feet six inches in average height.
Even smaller We're the remains record
ed by Gutman from lower Alsace, near
Colmar, some specimens measuring not
more than four feet. These pigmies
were we'll formed and fully developed,
and it appears that those of Silesia
must have lived as recently as 1000 A.

a MEDICAL DEFENSE OF CORSETs

The use of the corset is to transmit
the pressure of the skirt bands to the
hips and the ribs, and so to protect
from their pressure the organs in the
region OF the waist. The conclusion Is.
that so long as skirt be nds are fasten-
ed round the waist, corsets should be
worm. They should be SITTER than us
ually made if they are effectively TO
protect the soft, middle portion OF the
body from the pressure of he waist
band. The front should be quite

SHOOTING AWAY THE HAIL
STONES

The time honored faith of French
vine growers in cannon firing as a
means of resolving hail into rain has
been brought into discredit by recent
experience They still cling to their
remedy, however, although it has been
shown tnat the vortex rings of gas or
smoke from the guns used cannot reach
higher than $50 feet, While the hail
clouus are about 1000 feet high. DR..
Vidal is making new experiments with
a gun throwing rings to height of l.

NOTES OF NEW KNOWLEDGE
Sugar Treatment for Soft Wood. 9th
er Interesting Facts.

FliiinS the pores with sugar has
scineW nat surprising effects upon wood
L he process as devised by w. Powell of
Liverpool consists in immersing the
wood III ceated sugar solution for some
hours the time varying with the wood,
and then driving off all moisture in an
oven. No previous seasoning is neces-
sary. The sponsy fiber is converted in
TO compact liCeneous substance and it
acquires Sreatly increased durability
and strength, with resistance to
changes of temperature cad moisture,
and even to fire. A special advantage
Is t-lt the softer and cheaper-and
even defective-wcods can be made to
serve many purposes in place of ex-
pensive hard woods. The sugar does
not dissolve out. and it does not pro-
mote fermentation and the growth of
destructive organisms. but it produces
some remarkable chemical or physical
Transformation in manner not yet

AN ANTi-ToxIN FOR HAY FEVER.

Applying rye pollen to the nostrils,
Prof. Dunbar of Hamburg, Germany,
has produced symptoms of hay fever in
persons liable TO the malady, obtaining
ne effect in persons who We're immune.
Further experiment indicated that hay
fever poison is Il soluble toxin contoin
ed in the starch of the pollen of the
grasses. Hypodermic injections of the
pollen produced hay fever symptoms in
fifteen minutes, which increased for
four hours, with violent swelling about
the puncture on the forearm. In an
immune the injection caused simply a
slight swelling. Finally, rabbits were
injected, and after several weeks yield
ed a serum that could neutralize the
toxin.
