TUESDAY, JUNE IS. 1905.

The mass meeting on So ay
was we'll attended and everything Wae
done decentlv and in order. and Ii
was composed OF good and represent
1ative men from various sections OF
the county. There is no doubt that
the requisite number OF names Will be
secured 10 the petitions Just as soon
as they can De presented and we pre-
sumo the election will be ordered some
time in August. The opponents to
the dispensary claim that this county
will vote it out by two or three to
one. We do not know how about
that but if the vote were taken now
it would in our judgment be voted
out. Many OF those who now oppose
the dispenSary were at one time its
most ardent supporters. Many OF
them still think the system alright but
are dissatisfied with the management
and the way it is run. Just in what
this dissatisfaction consists one can
not exactly tell but there is in tine
minds OF the people an idea that there
is something wrong and whether
there is or not it will be very diff
cult task to remove that impression.
And many OF them have come to the
conclusion that the remedy is to re-
move the dispensary. So far as this
county is concerned we believe the
dispensary has been we'll managed
and there are no blind tigers.
There can be no objection to hav-
ing test of the wishes of the people
and if there is to be discussion let it
be- on the issue. We are crowded fo7
space and will have more to say on
this subject in our next issue. We
give Slll report OF the meeting on
Saturday.

AKBAR'S EXPERIMENT.

Result of His Whimsical Search For
Natural Language.
Akbar, one of the first of the great
mo@uls who ruled India, has been
named the Asiatic Charlemagne. He
was a statesman and an educator and
built palace for the reception of
men who loved learning and sought
after wisdom. The great mogul's pas
sion for knowledge is said to have
been shown by a whimsical experiment
he once made to determine If 1t was
true, as he had heard, that Hebrew
was the natural language of all who
had never been taught any other
tongue.
To test this assertion Akbar caused
a dozen nursing children to be shut up
in a castle six leagues from Agra, his
capital city. Each child was reared
by dumb nurse. The porter also was
a mute, and he was forbidden, upon
pain of death, to open the gates of the
castle When the children were twelve
years of age Akbar ordered them to be
brought before him.
Men learned in Sanskrit, in Arabic
in Persian and In Hebrew were assem-
bled at the royal palace to tell what
language the children spoke, Akbar
seated on his throne and surrounded
by these linguists. ordered the children
to be brought in. Each child was adj
dressed, and, to the surprise of the as
sembly, every one answered by a sign
Not a child could speak a word. They
had all learned from their nurses to
express themselves by gestures!

HERCULANEUM.
Its Destruction Came From a DeIuge
of Lava Water.

Its Destruction Came From a De1uge
of Lava Water.
Herculaneum, in Italy, is one of those
ancient cities which have not only been
buried, but actually forgotten, for
ages. The town, supposed to be of
Etruscan origin, lies on the Campanian
plain at the foot Of it's destroyer, We
suvius, almost midway between Ma
pies and Pompeii.
What caused the catastrophe of the
year 20 a. D.? Biologists have come
to the help of the archaeologists, and
it is now held that the destruction Of
Herculaneum was somewhat different
from that of Pompeii, although Pom
peii was also covered and buried and
the general effects were the same in
both instances. In the case of Pom
peii the city was overwhelmed by the
shower of small stones from the vol
cano and the subsequent rain of ashes,
but Herculaneum seems to have been
deluged with water lava" and far
fewer people were able to make their
escape from the city than from Pom
peii
1t is the theory that the steam from
the crater turned into rain, and, mixing
with the volcanic dust, formed huge
volume of muddy torrent. This gath
cred other soil as it poured over the
land, raised the level of the country
more than sixty-tive feet and finally
left mass of compacted tufa. This
torrent ran on to the sea, making its
own channel and forming a kind of
lagoon around the previously safe har-
Dor which entirely prevented any ships
from approaching the place thereafter
