"T,he Effects of School Life Upon
the Health of Children" is the very I'M
portant topic discussed in the June
number of the North American Re
view by Dr. G. Woodruff Johnston.
investigations on this subject in the
United States have been few, superh-
cial and fruitless, but examinations
made in Europe throw considerable
light upon it. All the European in

the basis of his inquiry disclosed an
astonishing amount of i'll health among
school children, the morbidity in school
boys ranging from 20 per cent in Great
Britain to 81 per cent in Sweden, md
among school girls from 16 per cent in
Great Britain to 81 per cent III SWei-

lie conditions of which this sum to-

points out that the amount and degree
of i'll health increased, not with age In

to the number of work hours and to the

was made upward from grade tc grade.
DR.. Johnston expresses the cp;lion

conversely, the readiness with

by the fact that, UP to a certain point,

DOUBLE WHEEL TROLLEY.

irrespective Of jumping or swinging OF
the pole. A cord is attached to the rod
which carries the auxiliary wheel, and
when it is desired to draw down the
pole for the purpose of clearing cross
ings and overhead structures this cord
should be pulled, so that when the pole
Is moved down, the auxiliary wheel
also moves down in the harp. This
avoids entangling the auxiliary wheel
with overhead structures when the pole
Is dra wn down.
The spring sustained wheel will bear
yieldingiy against the wire at all times
during the opera ton of the trolley and
will take from the same the shock in
cident to vertical movement of the
trolley against the wire. Owing to the
inertia of the trolley pole, the trolley
in ordinary constructions often fails
to follow the trolley wire when the lat
ter Is set swinging. In the present
case the inertia of the auxiliary wheel
is inconsiderable, and it will not fail to
keep in touch with the trolley wire. 1t
will be noticed that the auxiliary wheel
supporting rod is SO mounted on the
harp that it moves approximately tan
gent to the arc of the circle described
by the end Of the pole, and as a conse-
quence will respond more quickly to
the impulse of the spring and will re-
quire less time to pass through the
entire extent of movement with respect
to the harp necessary to maintain the
wheel in contact with the trolley wire
than were it mounted to move perpen-
dicularly thereto.

one on account of it's geographical posi-

been called the Lake State from the
great number of small lakes within it's
limits and the Gopher State because
the early settlers found golphers there
in such abundance that they proved a
serious nuisance. Even a careful rider

abounded was in danger of being
