The Big Building Could be Used
to Advantage.
Prof. Steele Proposes Plan in Which
Supt. O. NJ. Leib
Concurs.
TAKE DEFINITE STEPS SOON

As result of suggestion from
Prof. II. K. Steele, of the Y. NJ. @. A. =.
night play schools, so successful in the
larger cities, may probably be estab-
lished here, il the consent of the
school board to use the school build
ings can be had, and no trouble is an
ticipated in gaining this permission.
Prof. Steele suggests that during
the next term of school the teachers
who will voluntarily give one or two
nights to the poorer class of factory
hands who are unable to attend school
during the day, organize regular
classes and hold these sessions of night
play schools at least two nights every
week. during the entire term. In the
cities they have proven very success
full and are of great benefit in many
ways. The pupils have some pleasant
place to 60 and can enjoy games and
ct the same time devote a hour or
more to educational advantages. The
idea Of Prof. Steele is to have chess,
checkers, dominos aud such games
played and also games where mental
works is brought in. This ia the plan
carried out In the cities and Prof.
Steel wants to adopt is here.
In order to establish these schools,
the consent Of the school board to use
the Franklin and High school base
ments will have TO be secured. This
is the only thing which stands in the
way and when the matter has been
gotten into a more definite form, the
board will be petitioned.
Superintendent Lieb. of the public
schools. likes the idea and will CO.
operate with Prof. Steel in carrying il
out. He stated this morning that he
considered the school property the
most valuable in the city and the only
objection that he could raise was tina,
this property was uesd but compare
lively little. 1T is used very little
compared with what use think il
should be put to-" he explained this
morning. Here we could have this
night school and would be utilizing
the property to some advantage where
it is now idle. like the idea pro-
posed by Prof Steel and will help him
in il all l can"

Socrates called beauty q short-lived
tyranny, Plato privilege of nature,
Theocritus, a delightful prejudice,
Theophrastus silent cheat, Carneades
a solitary kingdom, Homer a glorious
gift of nature, Ovid favor Of the
gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty
was better than all the letters of rec

none Of these distinguished authorities
has left us even hint of how beauty
is to be perpetuated, or the ravages OF
age and disease defied. Time soon
blends the lily and the rose into the
pallor of age, disease dots the fair face
with cutaneous designations and
crimsons the Roman nose with insight
ly flushes, moth, II not rust, corrrpts
the glory OF eyes, teeth, and lips yet
beautiful by defacing the complexion,
and fills the sensitive soul with agony.
If such be the unhappy condition OF
one afflicted with slight skin blemishes,
what must be the feelings of those in
whom torturing humors have for
years run riot, covering the ekin with
scales and sores and charging the
blood with poisonous elements to be-

The offense for selling bad milk or

provisions of the city ordinance gov
erning this matter, is rather serious
! and the defendant may be fined in ad-
dition to having his business impaired
or ruined by the exposure. DR.. Gar

will find things in much better shape

Electrical Fishes.

The electrical fishes do not belong to
any one class or group-some are found
in fresh water, while others inhabit the
sea. They possess two distinct types
of electrical organs. One closely relates
in structure to muscle, as found in the
torpedo, gymnotus and skate, while the
other presents more of the characters
of the structure of secreting gland,
as illustrated by the electrical organ
of the thundertish. Both types are
built upon a vast number of micro
scopical elements. each Of which is
supplied with a nerve fiber. These
nerve fibers come from large nerves
that originate in the nerve centers.
brain or spinal cord, and in these CEN
tiers are found special large nerve cells.
with which the nerve fbers of the
electric organs are connected and from
which they spring. Yet the electricity
is generated in the electric organ itself.
In these animals there are specialized
organs for the production of electricity
on an economical basis far surprising
anything yet contrived by man.-Amer-
lean Inventor.

Seven ReIlS.

Everybody who knows anything
about nautical matters understands
the method of keeping time at sea-
eight bells every four hours, an addi-
tional bell being struck for each half
hour.
From to In the evening is the
second dog watch, but on British ships
seven bells (half past y of the second
dog watch are never struck. All other
ships, even the American, strike these
bells.
During the Napoleonic wars there
was a great mutiny in the British
navy. The crews of the fleets lying at
Spithead and the More agreed to rise
simultaneously against their officers.
The signal agreed upon was seven
bells Of the second dog watch. The
mutiny actually began at the arranged
time, but failed, the ringleaders being
executed. Ever since then seven bells
of the second dog watch has never
been struck on British ships, naval or
mercantile,
