where or other, in some mysterious way,
a Duluth man raised strawberries that
captured the ribbon at st. Louis, and
now the Duluth Herald has made a new
discovery. Weeds, grow on the sidehill
to which Duluthians cling to keep from
falling off into the lake. This is really
a serious matter for some of them are
haV-fever weeds, and if they are allowed
to flourish and multiply Duluth may lose
its reputation as a hay-fever resort. These
weeds must be eradicated, says the Her
aid. They certainly must, but any weed
that can grow on that bluff will be hard
to kill. 'S-~. 50 ...

Samuel - Hopkins Adams of Me-
cIure's staff, has recently been made
the target for All amusing charge
of plagiarism. In order to secure
thoroly impartial hearing for his
stories Mr.. Adams has :, sometimes
submitted them under assumed names.
This was the case with king Coal,'' in
the August McClure's, which was ascribed
to a mythical Leslie P. Smith, Mr..
Adams story was accepted Immediately
by McClures and sent to England for sale
under it's assumed name, and 1t was pub
lished in The Strand under that name.
When, later, the story appeared in Nc
Clure's under the real name of the author,
several enterprising readers who had seen
it in The Strand immediately, filed the
| charge Of plagiarism, and may not yet
know the truth. ~
| If a criterion Of the character of the
| southern aristocracy before the war were
to be established from the heroes and
heroines of Forestfield, Story of the Old
South, we would call them noble, modest,
valorous and virtuous, but, nevertheless,
rather colorless. But the. value of the
! book is not in the character sketcning; in
the plot, nor yet in the history. 1t lies
in the quiet repose of the style and the
view Of the author There is scarcely
more than thread of a plot, the story
might much better be called 1.-THE Annals
of a Quiet Neighborhood'; quiet. that is.

1t is the tale of a noble southern family
as seen by the tutor of the children, who
continues to live with the family after
the children are grown. but who is merely
an observer, never actively entering into

every day life of the times before the
war. sometimes with a mild, critical com

THE MAGAZINE SAMPLER

The Cosmos Is Observation-Disclosures
A. W. Bickerton in an article headed THE
Sorting of Atoms in the Sept. 10 mum
Der of the Scientific American, calls atten-
ton to some recent discoveries relating to
atoms as wholes, and says they point to
conclusions such as he speaks Of in the
following:
The formation of these aggregations of light
molecules carries to stage beyond the
theory of dissipation of energy, and a study of
the whole subject shows that the cosmos as
whole is a cyc1ical process in which we have
rejuyenescence of universes. just as 1t has long
been seen that collision would give us rejuvenes-
cence of dead suns; and the cosmos. as whole
is thus seen to be infinite and immortal
Thus this fact of natures power of sorting
molecules which goes under the name of se-
lective molecular escape entirely alters our
conception of the whence and where Of the uni
verse.

Politics and the Schools.

To the Editor of The Journal.
An unsigned article in your issue of
Sept. 2 states that the school question
has been injected into politics." or.
rather, politics into the school question.
If so, it is to be deplored that one Of our
most sacred interests, the boast of our
civilization, should be thus jeopardized.
The location of a high school in the
eighth ward would seem to be a ground
less pretext for such action for the pres
ent board is already known to be favorable
to such location, and no doubt there are
several of the many well-qualifed can
didates who would be of the same mind.
For instance, one Of the candidates, DR..
w. J. Warren, has his home on Lake
street, in the eighth ward, and he now has
to send his children three Or four miles
to high school, DR.. Warren has also
been chairman during the past year Of the
education committee Of Calhoun Improve
nlent association, strictly non-political
body. Hence, Judging from his past rec
ord and interest in the schools, he Ger
tainly could be depended upon to act for
their best welfare, without the question
able incentive of any entangling alliance
or political bargains. w. D. P.
