The farmer of to-day finds an en-
tirely different situation and strong
and increasing competition. The vast
wilderness has been settled, and
through continual and often Ignorant
and ill-advised tillage, the soil has
been depleted of it's fertility. While
agriculture has thus been retrograding
and the competition continually grow
ing keener but little has been done TO
fit the farmer to cope with the chang
ing conditions. The average country
boy to-day receives much better edu-
cation, viewed by present educational
standards, than did his grandfather,
vet it is along lines which help him
but little to maintain his position in
the country's development. He learns
the very things which, instead of maxi
ing him satisfied with the farm, inn
pei him to leave it and seek occupation
in the centers of population. The
farm boy who receives a common
school or a high-school education nat
urally turns toward the place where he
can best apply it. His schooling has
not been such as would help him to
farm better, to make more money on
the farm or to make of farming an in
teresting employment. And so he goes
to the city to utilize his special knowl-
edge. The trend of the country-raised
lad is irresistibIy in that direction,
while there is no equalizing current i'm
pelling the young people OF the cities 70
fill his place in the country. And the
city boy as he grows up and marries
would like to nave a home of his own
on a piece of land, of course, but he
knows only the trade or profession that
he has learned. He knows nothing Oh
farming and he would not know how
to make a living from piece OF land
if he had it. 1t has often been said
that it is worse than useless to put
the poor of the great cities out in the
| country, because they will not stay
there. AS a matter of fact, they cam
not be expected to, for to them it is a
strange and barren story. The expert

Facts About Henry Hudson.

Why should an Englishman w1o re-
ceived by baptism the name OF henry
be dubbed Hendrix? For more than
half a century Americans have been
writing and saying Hendrix Hudson"
This habit, without a legitimate toun-
dation. has been emphasized afresh re-
Gently in the Hendrix Hudson Me-
mortal Bridge" and the Hendrix Hud-
son Intercentenary Committee" The
only excuse that can be offered for u.s.
ing the Dutch equivalent is that Henry
Hudson sailed under Dutch auspices on
one of his four voyages Of discovery.
The Netherlands themselves knew Tim
only as Henry" Hudson.
In 1859 Henry G. Murphy, while at
The Hague examining the old Dutcn
records for data referring to HUDSON
found in the royal archives a Dutcn
copy of Hudson's contract with the dl-
rectors of the East India Company. The
document was appended to manu-
script history of the company, pre-
pared at it's request by P. van Dam,
the counsel of the company from 1862

thus

the year of Our Lord one thousand SIX
hundred and nine, the Directors OF the
East India Company of the Chamber OF
Amsterdam, of the ten years reckoning,

son, Englishman, OF the
other part" Two of the signers were
Netherlanders; the third, Henry
Hudson. In both cases the name was
spelled in plain English, Henry
Hudson knew so little of the Dutch
language that his conferences with the
Hollanders were conducted through the
medium of an interpreter.
No better time for correcting this
absurd usage could be found than on
the eve of the celebration OF the annl-
versary of Hudson'S voyage to this part

many times more perplexing than
those which troubled the pedagogues Oh
our forefathers. In those days we had
the great resources of an unbroken ana
an unsettled wilderness. The residents
of Ohio and Kentucky were pioneers.
Vast tracts OF rich, but unbroken,
wilderness stretched to the westward,
affording opportunity for the making
of thousands of new homes and beck
oning with alluring finger the sur
plus population of the Eastern States.
The soil was rich and fruitful, the
home market for agricultural products
was good, and the crowded centers OF
the Old World sought eagerly for our
surplus products. Such thing as
agricultural education was unknown.

stored-up fertility of the ages and

great middle class of Americans,
which made Of the nation a people OF
intelligent thinkers. They already
possessed qualities Of sturdy integrity
and self-reliance which constituted
them "good citizens" and their system
of common-school education, sufficient
at that time to meet all the demands of
the country, elevated them as a whole

able in any period of crisis to decide

inventor of Submarine Boat IS
Working on One that Will Fly.
The report comes from New York
that John P. Holland, the inventor Of
the submarine boat, is about to give
to the public an invention of flying
machine said to be Of as perfect a
construction as the submarine bearing
his name. Mr.. Holland has been work
ing on flying machines for nearly
twelve years, during which time four
models have been constructed and de-
stroyed on account of their imperfec-
tions. He is now working on the fifth
model, which he believes will be made
to fly. This latter model weighs only
thirty pounds. 1t is arranged to be
strapped to the back Of the person de-
string to soar in the air. There will
be two vertical arms crossing at right
angles with the axis and two pairs of
wings; these are to vibrate in oppo-
site directions. One pair of wings will
be placed at the back of the head and
the other pair near the waist. They
are of light steel construction, weigh
ing about @ pound each. In speaking
OF his invention, Mr.. Holland said:
ANY man Tho walks three miles an
hour can easiI. fly the same distance
in ten minutes with my invention and
| do not consider tnat statement an
eXaggeratiOn.
81 have taken birds as ny pattern.
With this machine men will D. able
to fly on the same principle as bird
fiys. If a cog breaks or something
else goes wrong, or if he becomes ex-
hausted and the propelling ceases,
there will be no danger, for he will be
able to descend gently to the earth and
land easily upon his feet"
Mr.. Holland discounts the course
taken by a number of flying machine
experts who use a combination OF bal
loon and aeroplane. This form, he be-
lieves, will never become practical for
aerial navigation because he considers
the gas bag offers too much resistance
to the air, and, on the other hand, be-
lieves that flying machines and the
aeroplane idea-the latter of the Lang
ley class-will be the real means of
navigation OF the air in the future. He
expressed his belief that with the new
Holland airship he will be able to fly
from New York to Washington to at
tend the next presidential Inaugural
ton and get back home the same
night. It is his intention to make ex-
perfments with his machine next
spring.

table appointments characterize her
entertainments and the most promi-

guests during the social season.
This distinguished hostess long ago
became a convert to the vegetarian
system and through a book which she
wrote on the subject, "The Aristocracy
Of HEALTH" held to her contention that
meat is unnecessary not only to diges-
ton, but to the palate. The boob
aroused much discussion and during a
recent health congress IN Washington
Mrs. Henderson arranged one of her
celebrated vegetarian dinners in order
to prove the strength of her theory.
Some amusement was caused by the
declination of a prominent politician
who has a reputation for liking good
dinners, but who was afraid that with
out meat his evening meal would be
spoiled.
Mrs. Henderson's arrangements for
the dinner were unique.

Gay Paris has just been startled by
the apparition of gigantic person
'swhizzing along the Champs Elysees
at the rate of twenty-five miles an
hour" He was not en- horseback, &C
cording to the Washington Post,
neither was he in an auto. He simply
stood up straight On his own legs, and
the only unusual thing connected with
his appearance consisted of a pair of
immense boots. He didn't walk. He
never lifted either foot from the pave

Subsequent inquiry developed sew
eral interesting facts. Fastened to the
soles of the tall strangers boots were
tiny automobiles, with rubber tires
eight inches in diameter, and In belt
worn about his waist were "accumu-
lators" of one and quarter horse

means of wires. Thus equipped, the
mysterious person sped along the ave

wonder, admiration and alarm in about
equal proportions.

In other words, this astonishing but
highly uncomfortable gentleman-Con-
stantini is his name-appears to have
invented the long-looked-for and much
feared motor boot" AS matter OF
fact his device will enable the indi-
yidual citizen to acquire a pair Of boots
by means of which he can chase along
the boulevards of Paris or any other
capital at frightful rate of speed, and,
as long as the "accumulatOrs" hold out,
make anywhere from SIX to thirty
miles an hour. 1t is the much-desired
consummation-thea apparatus whereby
we may pay hundred calls during any
afternoon, evade policemen, street
cars, footpads, the carriages of the
aristocracy, and the opportunities OF

The duties of this teacher are to lead
the Indian back to the, sublime and

have room for all three in our hlghly
