change building to it's new quarters on Broad street and the contemplated sale of the museum is the result of tho. discovery that there will be no room in the new building for the collection.
 Many of the members of the floor" showed great surprise yesterday when they learned that the museum was to be sold. Quite a few were inclined to protest and several said that efforts would undoubtedly be made to have the directors rescind their decision 10 sell the collections. Alexander R. Smith the superintendent of the Exchange. confirmed the statement that the cur jos would be sold and added that they would not be disposed of at auction in piecemeal. but as whole to the high est bidder. MT. Smith said that it was a pity that the collection had to be sold but that there was no room for it in the new Broad street building which the Exchange has bought.
 MT. Smith said that invitations had been extended to a dozen museums in America and England to bid for the collection. \ member of the Exchange who made several contributions said that he intended to consult his lawyers as to the right of the Exchange to sell the collection.

SPANISH AMERICAN WAR PEN.
 SION ROLL.

Up to May the number of pensions filed for injuries in our latest small unpleasantness with Spain reached the astonishing aggregate of 60,000. At this rate of coming in there will he half as many applications for pensions by the years end as there were men in the war. most of whom never went outside of the United States.
 The number of soldiers who were sent to Cuba was about 900 in all, and few went fer short time to Porto Rico. In many of the camps di- seaea played havoc. but only a few hundred wero actually wounded in ser vice. Two hundred and forty-three were killed in Cuba, including those who died from wounds.
 Yet 12,000 pension claims have been allowed and of the 1S.OOJ rejected many have been or will be put upon the list. And this is an expense that will go on year after year. and in the end will cost the government mere than the war itself did
 The civil war pension list is almost as great as it ever was, which is fact that does not augur well for the fu- ture. We may expect 3,. half ceutu-y hence the dependent widows of Span ish war vetcrans-wcmen who are yet unborn-to be drawing pensions.

THE PHOENIX SCHOOLS
A Phenomenal Increase in the Attend
 ance This Year.

There are numerous features of a towns activity by which opinions are formed respecting its growth. One of them, and possibly one of the most reliable, is the expansion of its schools. The Phoenix schools during the past year have shown a remarkable growth and Phoenix heretofore thought she had a school population that should command attention.
 Superintendent McDonnold said yeT terday that Curing the present week nearly a hundred new pupils have been admitted and by personal inquiry he has learned that most of them expect to become permanent residents Of the city, not mere winter visitors. Some parents when putting their children in to school have reported that they have bought property and expect this to te their home hereafter. During the pres ent week the average attendance. be low the high school has been in the reighborhood of 1900. while the highest previous record was in the neighbor- hood of HOO. The high school has roll of IS0 and an average attendlnce of 175. ar incraese of about 25 per cent over last year. In round numbers therefore. the total school attendance of the city is about 1900
 AnG another thing noted is that the schools with eA their equipment. new houses. etc. are crowded. in nearly all departments Three additional teach CTS are employed this year in the low CT grades and one in the higher gram mar grades. yet all grades are more or less crowded. some of them perp.eX- inglv so

ERROR IN SCHOOL BOOKS.

The makers and supporters of the school textbooks on the so-called physiology have made many blun 7ers in their well-meaning attempts. but there is none so fundamental and so Hbsurd as that of failing to see that the young should be taught how to maintain or get health instead of how to avoid disease.

WHEN DOES IT COME?

Science has given the human race only limited span of existence. This was one of the prospects which dis tressed Darwin. and it has weighed on many other sensitive minds Some three millions of years or so is about the average estimate. The discovery of radium naturally led to the question whether the existence of the metal su the sun might not indefinitely prolong that lumiary's active life. Much dis appointment was therefore felt at the result of the investigations undertaken by a Cambridge scientist. After some months'N exposure of very sensitive solutions to the sun he was unable to discover any of the signs character istic of radium rays. The verdict therefore was that the discovery of radium affords no reason for altering the cosmical time scale. But Sir William Ramsay's proof of the trans formation of radium gas into helium revives the hope that radium may, af- ter all. be a constituent of the sun. It is well known that the spectroscope reveals the abundant existence in the sun of helium-this metal, indeed, was discovered in the sun before it was known to be a terrestrial property and it seems possible that all this helium may be transformed radium gas. So that once more it seems pre- mature to limit the existence of the human race to any definite number of million years.-Harper's Weekly.

DISARMlNG THE GODS.
How Chinese, Japanese and Hindoo
 Schoolboys Prepare for School.

Among Eastern nations. the begin ming of school life is a critical time for the child" says Beatrice C. Wilcox, in Everybody's Magazine for January "The priest CT astrolOger must be con- suited to choose a lucky. day. Every pTecaution must be taken to avert the jealousy of the gods, whose malice is especially directed against a fine boy
 "The Chinese father who adores his son will take the utmost pains to con vince the powers of the air that the boy is of no account. The child may be given a despicable name, like flea. CT Chu-tze, a pig, or mere insulting still. he may be given a girls name The boy may be started off to school wearing a girls dress and one erring, and if the deception is complete this will be the most effectual of all, for even the gods do not care fer girls in China.
 'The Japanese schoolbov wears hanging from his belt a little red bag. containing a brass tag. with his name and his parents name and address upon it. He must have his paper um- hrella and his fan, and, in a gay bag under his arm, is a jar of rice for his luncheon. This quaint litle fellow has probably made his offering at his own private shrine to Tenjinsen, the god of permanship.
 When the Hindoo boy has found an suspicious day to begin school he is taSen to the god of learning. Saravas- ii. Here the little supplicant presents his offerings of rice and betelnuts and repeats the letters of the alphabet af- ter the priest. Thus he Is entered into the ways of knowledge in the very presence of the god"

Slight Hope for Peter Nis-eA and His
 BaIIoon aFooI KiIler..


 Chicago. Nov. sO-Peter Nissen is be- lieved to have either smothered or frog en to death in his rolling balloon Fool Killer" in which he started for a trip across the lake yesterday.
 The opinion that Nlssen was lost be- came general this afternoon, when it was found that after twenty -four hours of silence there was still absolutely no word from the inventor, who some years ago shot the whirlpool rapids of Niagara in a barrel.
 Possibility of Nissen's smothering to death was considered more definitely when it was learned that his only sup ply of air was that pumped into the Fool Killer" before the craft was launched. It was said by Nissen's broth CTS, however, that the navigator had computed his air supply carefully, and figured that it would last him for 9 great number of hours.
 At the weather bureau it was said that even If Nissen had reached shore he would suffer severely from the cold as there was snow storm blowing near the Michigan shore. The wind toward midnight increased from twen- ty-five miles an hour to a forty mile gale.
