The result is they receive some tire

ear gets most of the concussion and
the result will frequently be a rupture

good preventive for such an accident
is to place in the ears a little medi-
Gated wool or cdotton dipped in oil.
Another injury to health caused
frequently by diving arises from get
ting large quantities Of water into the
lungs. The extent of the harm done
in cases of this sort depends OF the
condition of the water al to its cleanli-
ness. | have often seen boys, for in
stance, dive into the water at places
where 1t was absolutely filthy from
the evacuation Of drainage into it.
The danger to health, especially 70
those with not overstrong constitu-
tions, can readily be seen.
THE higher the dive the longer. OF
course. will be the duration under wa
ter. Now. an inexperienced diver is
rarely able to hold his breath under
water for more than a second or two
at a time. and If the dive is an un-
high one he will, in nine cases
out of ten, give up the struggle in try
.ng to retain his breath, and invari-
IDLY, too. just before his head reaches
he surface. The result not infre-
is that the water that has es-
,aped into his lungs and stomach is
ar more than is good for him, and 10
many 1t is positively injurious.

Evening Lecture by Prof. Schaffer.
"Does Education Pay?' was the
theme of the discourse of Professor
Schaffer last evening and so con-
vincingly eloquent in the affirmative
was Professor Schaffer's argument
that it would have been a perverse
and stupid person who would or could
have taken the opposit and pessimistic
position at the close of the very i'm
partial and sane discussion of Ameri-
can democracy's greatest institution,
lis public school system. 1t was an
attempt to prove that money spent
upon the right education of the people
is the best investment of public money
that can be made. The material atti-
tude which has for its apogee the COM
fort induced by roast fowl for dinner
and new bonnet at Easter resultant

money for an improvement in our pub

, Professor Schaffer took Germany as
an illustration of the nation which
had made education ''pay.' Queen
, Louise, of fame in history prevailed

young men to Pestalonzi for study
and upon their return there was in

Russian Fleet Driven Back.

ChefoO, Aug. II. - The japanese
feet under Admiral Togo frustrated an
effort made by the Russian warships
remaining in Port Arthur to escape
from the harbor. driving them back to
face the awful fire constantly poured
upon them by the Japanese land bat
teries over the hills.
The Russian fleet, which returned
to the port after the terrific sea fight
Of last Wednesday, under cover of
darkness made a desperate attempt to
pass the japanese squadron lying out
side Of the harbor and reach safety
and liberty. The Japanese had been
lying far off shore, and the Russians
imagined. they had a slight chance of
thus escaping the vigilant eye Of Ad-
miral Togo. The Russian warships
crept out with lights extinguished. and
the Japanese opened a terrific fire on
them.
According to reports received here
the Russians made no attempt to en-
gage in general action, but hurried
back to the harbor.
The sortie is regarded as a confir-
nation OF previous reports that the
Japanese have occupied an important
