drawal from the general money market of
the funds loaned out for their account.
In either case a strain would be put upon
both home and foreign money markets. The
bank situation could not well have re-
manned unchanged through the mere sub
stitution of European gold for the currency
sent to San Francisco. The result was.
first. a gradual weakening on the New
York stock exchange, followed by break
of such violence as to cancel the greater
part of the gains made in stocks during the
preceding winter. Through this decline and
the resultant liquidation of speculative loans
by the stock exchange. bank liabilities were
enormously reduced. At the same time,
Wall street resorted largely to the English
and French markets. where large sums
were borrowed at rates inviting to the
Londoner, and as consequence the bur-
den of liabilities was to a still larger ex-
tent shifted from New York to Europe.
The net result was an easy money mar
ket in the closing weeks of May, money on
call went at three per cent as against the
thirty percent rate existing In the opening
week of AIril; and time loans. which dur
Ing most of the year had held firmly around
The six-per-cent rate, declined below four

IT. 1902 The newness OF the act consists
In the governmental policy inaugurated for
the disposition of public lands. on the one
hand. and the new species Of government
service TO the people. on the other. While
the act itself Is not socialistic because OF
limitations set upon IT. IL Is good evidence
OF what a government. IL 1t be wisely and
inteliigently administered. may do for the
development Of the resources OF country
1t Is an indication too. that our land policy
In the past has not been all that IL might
have been in the development of the coun-
try and in the wise conservation of the
means of national wealth and prosperity.
One of the great advantages OF the deyei-
opment of irrigation Is the support 1t gives
to manufacturing and railroad extension in
the arid region. The mining industry has
lust begun to develop. The great treasure
of the mountains have not yet been unc0y-
cred While the income from mining In the
arid regions Is over $160. 100000 per annum,
this Is small In comparison to what the flu
ture will yield. While there are now over
80. 600 miles of railroad in this region, the
future development of railroads Will b
great Add to these the fact of the tremen-
dous water power available In the mountain
streams for manufacturing purposes. and y
Is easy to see that this vast territory OF
The west. once considered unfit for habita-
ton, will absorb all the agricultural prod
ucts that can be raised In 1t. without So
rious competition with the great farms In
the humid regions.

A PROFESSOR OF FLEAs.
Odd Profession in France-Troubles OF
One of the Impresarios.

Paris Cor London Globe.
Among the curious professions which one
meets with In this country from time to
time is that of professor Of feas. What the
professor trains his alert pupils to do /
cannot imagine. but every now and then at
the shows which camp on the outskirts OF
Paris the flea professor has his booth.
One Of these strange impresarios named
Jocol:no lately took up his residence In
lodging house in the Rue st. Charles. I'm
fortunately Jocolino's pupils multiplied with
far more rapidity than he could train them
to be well behaved. with the result that
their active disposition led them to explore
the adjoining rooms OF the lodging house,
where they performed on their own ac-
count.
Their visits were not to the liking Of the
nelshbors and Jocolino was obliged
TO listen to some very forcible re-
monstrances on the subject. The nuisance.
however did not abate, and finally one OF
the tenants, plumber named Sauvfn, de-
cided to take the matter into mis- own
hands Armed with large quantity OF
insect powder. the irate plumber entered
Jocolino's room In the absence of the pro-
lessor and sprinkled the exterminator in all
directions.
While he was so engaged. however, the
nea trainer returned. and, mistakfng the
plumber for a burglar seized q revolver
and shot him In the head Sauvin Is now
lying in q hospital and the trainer of the
lively flea is In the hands of the police.

Needs Of Our School System.
From the Forum.

From the Forum.
Every month brings us nearer to the rec
ogntion of the need of speedy readjustment
of the programs OF elementary and sec
ondary schools. A new civilization is upon
US, with problems and ideals which could
not even have been dreamed of by the
makers of the traditional courses OF study.
In the economic field, especially, changes
have taken place which amount almost to a
revolution. We have seen the apprentice
system disappear. and machine product
taking the place of the product OF the hand
The control of machinery requires knowl-
edge and skill for which there was no de-
mand in the past The anomalous condi-
ton presenting itself is. that economic life
expects individuals to possess training
for which no provision Is made in the gen.
eral scheme OF education. The boy leaving
school at fourteen or sixteen. finding no
apprentice period offered him. and having
obtained no training directly fitting him Tor
a practical pursuit, must needs drift until
by sheer strength OF win and ingenuity he
hews out for himself some definite hfe-
work. At best there II q tremendous waste

A Cup Of Cold Water.

From the Columbus t0hiol Dispatch
These days and nights of excessive heat
no less a time for charity than the
days and nights OF bitter winter cold. There
is suffering now Just as there was suf-
ferlng then. and among the victims OF the
heat are the children of the tenements and
the sick. who. through poverty, are un-
able to provide themselves with ice.
Something has been done by organizations
to provide these sufferers with cheap ice,
but there is stiE something left for the IN
dividual to do II he will. II those who in
the comfort of their own homes drink their
cooling draughts and are refreshed will
look about them. they may find sickness
and suffering which needs just that simple
measure of relief. Why should not every
one who lives in comfort make himself a
committee of one. today. to see IL there
is not some person. young or old, In his I'm
mediate vicinity suffering for the lack of
cup of cold water? 1t would be as bless
ed charity as that which is abroad at the

San Francisco and Money Market.

From the Forum
This. then, was the singular situation cre-
ated In the money market by the San Fran
cisco fire. The eastern markets had sent.
say. $a0.000.000 of their reserves to the Pa
cific coast and had almost exactly replaced
that loss by gold drawn from Europe. To
this extent 1t might have been supposed
that the general market situation would
have remained unchanged. There were
several reasons, however. Why this could
not be. In the hrst place, the unsettle-
ment of 50 great disaster had very nat
urally affected public confidence: In the sec
ond place. 1t was evident that the very
payment OF these Insurance indemnities
