Floral Hall is Burned.

About seven o'clock this morning
after one of the sharp flashes of light
ming, fire was noticed on the top of
the fair ground building just at the
foot of the pole on the cupola. On
account of the recent shower it burned
very slowly, but in about half an
hour sheets of fire were shooting out
of the lattice work of the cupola on
all sides, making an attractive display
of fire works. Coming so close to the
date of the fair. it is especially to be
regretted, although there will be time
enough to rebuild. the date Of the fair
being September 6 to 8. The building
was covered by S1400 insurance. -

GRAMMAR A STUDY.

Et seems to be fact that the
study and teaching of grammarin
our public schools is not what it
used to be. Complaint is made
that the books used are not salts
factory, but with all that, the prin-
cipal fault is with the teacher.
Grammar is one thing that can
not be successfully acquired by
absorption. 1t is true that the
child's environment will have
much to do with it's use of the
English language, but an under
standing of the rules of grammar
is essential nevertheless.
This is especially true of our
own language, the use of which is
surrounded by SO many "excep-
TONS" These must be drilled in
to the child. 1t must know what
is right, and why it is right. 1t is
not enough that it should acquire
a correct use of reading the best
authors and hearing it properly
spoken, for it is then likely to fall
into. error at any time.
The child speaks correctly be-
cause it hears others with whom it
associates speak correctly, but it
can not detect fault as it could it
given proper instruction in tech
nical grammar.
Again, it is too frequently the
case, we regret to say, that the
child does not hear our language
properly spoken even in the school
room. If we were to Judge them
in this particular by their daily
conversation in and out Of school,
we would conclude that many of
our teachers do not understand
the simple rules of grammar.
There is a laxity in this respect
even with some of our best teach
ers. When this is the case, how
is it possible for the child to learn
to speak. eorrectly2
English grammar should be a
study-a real study-and correct
ly spoken, by the teachers in our
public schools. This is impera-
tive if the rising generation is to
speak correctly.

Electrolysis.
IT. Louis Republic

From the St Louis hepubif
The damage done to mains and pipes by
STRAY currents OF electricity is not q
trifiing matter to municipalities and public
serving corporations. 1t is observed that
the cost of damage to casting reaches enor-
nous figures yearly. In st. Louis 1t has
been found that water mains have incurred
the worst injury. especially in the vicini-
ties of the street railway power houses-
The corrosion of the iron casting is due to
the leaping of the fugitive return current
to the mains and back again to the circuit.
and it takes place at those points where
the escape is made and wherever the cur
rent makes a leap or jump over a clear
ance.
To electrolytic action Is attributed the
presence of an unexpected quantity of nj
trates in clarified water. The water depart
ment has succeeded In improving the ap-
pearance and quality of the water with a
lime and iron coagulant, effecttng with the
chemicals a 80 per cent bacteria dissolu-
ton in addition to 81 per cent of clear
ness. The chemists and baeteriologists ex-
pected to find percentage of nitrates In

Smoke, Sunlight and Wind.
,m the Chicago Record Herald.

The Investigations into the connection be-
tween smoke and fog in London have in
spired the director of one of the municipal
observatories in Paris to make a study Of
the extent to which sunlight is obscured by
smoke in his city. The Paris sky Is usually
bright and clear. but the experiments have
shown that unless the wind reaches We
locity of at least twenty miles an hour at
an elevation of siXty-fve feet clouds of
dust smoke. vapor and gases form, which
noticeably decrease the amount OF sunlight
the city enjoys. OF course. there Is
marked difference according the wind
blows from the direction in which the man.
ufacturfng suburbs are located. or from
the suburbs of parks and homes.
The recommendation Is naturally made by
the Paris observer that Paris. and other
large cities as well, should make systematic
efforts to confine factories to what may be
called the leeward side of the city, consid-
ering the general tendencies of the winds.
Chicago, with its factories north. south and
west and also close to the center of the
city, gets a smoke cloud whichever direc-
sidering the way the prevailing winds veer
round from northeast to southwest at diff
ferent seasons of the year. really the only
place in which a smoke-nufsance district
could properly be created would be straight
east--out in the lake. Such being the case.
Chicago can be heartily glad that she Is a
swindy city" The swifter the winds blow
the better, at least until the happy time
comes when police magistrates stop speak
ing softly to smoke offenders and begin to
use the big fine"

RUSSIAN SHIPS READY.
Will Leave Port Arthur to Fight at
the Proper Time.

ST. PETERSBURG June 2, p.m.-It can
safely be predicted that the Russian squad
ron at Port Arthur will not wait until the
last moment before going out The adj
miralty seems to entertain no fear, If the
the situation there becomes desperate, that
the squadron will be caught like rat in a
trap.
Rear Admiral Wittsoeft's dispatch, given
out yesterday, gave assurances on this
point, a portion of which not made public
said that every ship except the Pobieda
was now ready to go to sea at a moment
notice, and that the channel was clear. He
confirmed the belief which existed here that
the Japanese will continue their efforts to
block the channel before the decisive mo-
ment to storm the fortress ON the land side
arrives and has made plans accordingly.
In the opinion of the most competent mill
tary critics the land Notifications must be
preached before general assault can be
risked, and this IS not considered possible
in less than three weeks.

CONFERENCE HELD.
Board of Trade Considers Matter Of
Freight Deliveries.

An interesting Interchange of views was
held this afternoon at the rooms of the
board CT trade. between the members of
tatives of the railroad companies entering
this city In regard to tire extent and causes
of the complaints about delays in getting
freight shipments.
The conference was brought about by the
action of Mr.. Thomas w. Smith. who, as q
large shippeE had suffered from the de-
lays incident to- getting freight into the
city, and th6acomnaittee. Of transportation
and of mercantilea interests, composed of
business men and personally interested in
the subject, called a joint meeting for the
purpose of considering the matter. Mr..
s. W. CurrideR.p presided, and a number of
statements were. made by citizens which
were to the effect that they had found
the service at times not at all adequate.
Mr. Smith stated that since he had made
complaints he. had found the service had
materially improved, and In fact the COM
panies had been sending the cars in so fast
that he could not unload them. He wanted
to complain of that, also, as well as the
delays In freight arrivals.

tion will be gone over with the view of
trying TO find out the cause of the difficulty
and providing a remedy.
AS was stated at the meeting this after
noon this was the object of the committee
and no doubt that would would be the aim
of the railroads.
