WOOL DUTY IN QUESTION.
War Prices IN Russia and $4,000 In
volved IN Test of Importation
Brought in Boston.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 16.-Boston
wool merchants are daily expecting a re-
port from the United States board of
general appraisers relative to the impor-
tat1on of wool from Russia, involving be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in duty. 1t
concerns an Interpretation of the law
and also the relation between the nat
ural wool market in Russia and the arti-
fetal market produced by the Russo-Jap-
anese war.
Under conditions produced by the war,
the local appraiser has estimated the
duty on wool at a rate which will entitle
the United States to about 5O,OOO more
than it has received On the inflated
war market price the Boston appraiser
based the rate of duty. The importer ap-
pealed and was sustained. Thereupon
the local appraiser took the matter to
the full board at New York.

Exposition a Great Success.
The exposition has been remarkable
success from every standpoint. 1t has
attra cted to this city and to the great
northwest a hundred thousand people;
the exposition has attracted investors n
almost every line Of endeavor and it has
made known to the entire country some
of the advantages which the Pacific
coast has to offer homeseekers.
1t is probable that with today's at
tendance the fair will have attracted
over 100000 people.
An Incendiary Fire.
1t is possible that the fire which de-
stroyed the Missouri building at the
Lewis and Clark exposition last night
was of incendiary origin. T. E. Bach,
a prominent business man of this city,
claims to have seen the fire spring up
from a pile of rubbish back of the
burned building. This would indicate
that the fire did not start from defective
electric wiring, as was at first thought
to have been the case. A young man
named Mcdonald says he saw three men
trying to scale a fence near the Missouri
building Immediately before the fire
broke out.

a school man found that his classes
did not take the interest in their work
that he wanted them 70. There was
much listlessness and Indifference. and
his work was TO him unsatisfactory,
very common experience with school
teachers. He reasoned correctly that
If he could interest his pupils In some
particular line of work-get them as
interested in il as they would be in a
picnic or a half holiday or a circus
they would then do better work on
other lines OF study which were dis
tasteful TO them. SO he took up for
about twenty minutes each day the
study Of simple everyday things which
in way all the pupils We're familiar
with-the architecture of a birds nest,
the changing pupil in a cats eye,
snow crystal the weeds which grew
In their gardens. the way in which
horse and COW lie down, how n leaf
feeds the plant or tree, the germlna-
ton OF seeds, where the dew comes
from, the relation OF the tassel TO the
silk on the corn. why popcorn pops, the
natural enemies Of the sparrow and
the mouse, why rivers run crooked.
why some plants rob and others fer
tilize the soil. why dog always turns
round two or three times before he lies
down. why and how birds migrate,
why baking powder makes the cake
and biscuits light and lot OF just such
simple, practical things, having his pu-
pills find out all they could about the
topic TO be considered, with the result
that every child became at once In
sensely interested ,and was only too
glad TO do good work on other less at
tractlve lessons in order TO get them
we'll out OF the way for this twenty
minute special work which was used
later as basis OF language study the
scholars being required to write all
about the things selected as topics for
this course. Perhaps there may be a
suggestion here for other teachers, for
II is probably true that children are
always eager to learn about the things
which they know something about and
which are part Of their lives.
