As most people know. Jules Verne
was practically an untraveled man, IN
spite OF the fact that almost every one
OF his stories dealt with travels Of one
kind or another. Few are aware, how
ever, why the novelist stayed at home
so continually. Early In HIS career
Verne was severely wounded by pis-
tol-shot. which put a stop to the yacht

leisure and made him more or less
cripple. The shot was fired by a member
OF Nerne's C'Sn family, but the accident
was forgiven, II not forgotten. long be-
fore his DEATH 40 there Is no need q
insist upon Il.
One thing Is certan-that no tribute
20 his memory would have been more
acceptable to Jules Verne than that
which his young French readers are
about to pay. But IL would be only fair
To- let American and English boys send

Days was especially proud Of his
young Anglo-Saxon readers and of the
admiring letters they occasionally
wrote him. one OF his most valued pos

Woodhull's Elementary Physical
Scierte, for grammar schools, by John
+. Woodruff, Phi. D., professor of ply
steal science, Teachers College Column
bit university. American Book COM
pauy, New York.
This course has been prepared owing
Ia the widespread demand that ele-
mentary physical science should be in
troduced into the grammar schools.
The book, which is designed TO be used
by the pupil aims, first to give him
accurate verbal concepts OF ideas that
have already entered his conscious
nes through his senses; second, TO
broaden the pupils knowledge by call
ing his attention to practical appli-
cations Of the principles that he has
sen illustrated In the laboratory. From
study Of this book many useful, COM
mon facts, relating to mechanics,
fluids and heat, are made clear to the
pupil. He learns why earthenware, In
order to hold water, must be glazed;
why the brown-stone fronts Of buildings
dislntegrate; and why edged tools must
be- tempered. City water and gas sys-
TENS receive particular attention. The
application OF heat 10 thermometers
and to propeling steamboats, and rail-
way trains, and the heating OF build
ings by the fireplace, stoves, hot-air
furnaces, hot-water heating and steam
heating, together with the ventilation
OF buildings, are taken w In an inter-
esting and instructive manner.

RIVER EATS AWAY ITS BANKS
AND RAILROAD Is THREATENED

Owing to the rapid rise of the waters
OF a branch OF the Colorado River, near
Imperial Junction, the Southern Pacific
is having difficulty in maintaining its
line at Brawley, three stations below
Imperial Junction. The flood endan-
gers the roadbed as far as Calexico.
The section of track is a branch road
from Imperial Junction TO Calexieo, and
TO avert disaster the roadbed will have
to be moved 200 feet east, as the river
is eating away its banks. No trains
have. been able TO reach Calexico and
many of the new desert towns sup
piled by the line are threatened with
famine
