LOCKING AFTER
ATTENDANCE

a pupil was excused from attendance
at school on the strength of a physi-
/ clans certificate at the meeting of the
/ boardl Monday, as provided for by a
new rule adopted to make it i'm posi-
/ BILE for parents to shield children when
out of school by falsely representing
them as ILL.,
a good bit of this, it is alleged, was
done by thoughtless and irresponsible
parents or guardians. The only way
! the truant officer could see out of it in
| such cases was to refuse to accept the
excuse offered and to hold the parent
or guardian responsible until excused
| by the school board, which, if there
is any doubt, of course will demand
conclusive evidence in the form of a
physicians certificate.
The case last night was not III the
questionable class, but it illustrated
how nicely the rule works. The GER
tificate, issued by one of our leading
| physicians, was addressed to the teach
er and explained conditions at home
relating to sickness that would impose
something akin to hardship on the
family, if the child could not be kept
at home for few days.
The board relying on the physician 5
Judgment decided to excuse the pupil
for the time being and on motion the
secretary was directed to 80 k" the
doctor : certificate and return it to the
teacher with instructions that she no.
tify the truant officer of the school
| boards action.
Without positive evidence that illness
exists the truant officer finds it impos-
sible to cope with the situation. The
children of Charles Switzer, Montour
Row. have been out of school a great
deal of late and the truant officer doubt
ing that any good reason existed last
evening had the father brought up be-
fore Justice Oglesby. The father, back
ed by the mother, however, put in a
strong plea that illness really existed
and was finally left off with the pro-
mise that he would hereafter send the
children to school or furnish the board
with indisputable evidence that sick
ness exists.
Professor Frank Magill was before
the school board to ask for the pur-
chase of mimeOgraph to be used in
the commercial department of the
high school. The mimeograph, he said,
is in we'll uigh universal use in bust
ness offices and in order to be fully
equipped for positions he thought
graduates of the nigh school should be
familiar with the use Of all such de-
vices On motion it was decided to
purchase a mimeograph for use in the
school.
On motion it was decided also to
purchase a quantity of practice paper
for use in the commercial department.

ENORMOUS WEALTH
IN WATER.

There is enough gold in the ocean to
earth, mountains, hills, and dales,"
says Ramsay. the famous chemist,
discoverer of helium and five other at
mospheric elements. And Ramsay
thinks of mining that amount of yell

trary, being very practical man, he
means above all to line his own pockets
and those of his associates in the
Ocean Gold Mining Trust, now forming
in London.
On the face of it the ocean mines
are an elusive proposition, the metal
being even less concentrated than he
lium is in the air. but Ramsay is full
of hopes, and electricity is his ally, he
says.
Your correspondent hears of a Brit

The question, t'How does the ocean
come to be a gold mine?" answered
itself. All the rivers empty into the
ocean, and all rivers extract consider

and mineral. While it does not pay
to mine for gold in the rivers, except

H. HAcKFELD & CO.. DISTRIBUTORS.

Oregon. the Klondike, the Ural dis
trict and in certain parts of Africa
the amounts carried being too infini-
tesimal on the average-the sum of
floating gold, contributed to the oceans
by a hundred thousand or more rivers
in million or more years, is stagger-
ing, indeed.
Leaving the question of electrical ap-
paratus, lately announced by Ramsay,
aside, the only practical one suggesting
itself seems: Boiling; that is extract
ing the solid by evaporating the mois-
ture. Here again we have Govern
ment experiments to fall back on.
Such a process would yield a solid
mass weighing about one thirtieth
part of the water volume.
The entire solids of all the oceans
distributed over the face of the earth
would cover the earth to a thickness
of about 125 feet. The layman, not
used to mathematics. can hardly con-
ceive or imagine what that means;
but the Government experts assures
us that it is equal in volume to the
continents of Europe and North Amer
lea, rising above the level of the sea,
the continents with all they contain in
ciers. etc.
Investigation of the solids of the
ocean proves that the greater part
consists of our ordinary cooking salt
namely. a loo feet; the rest is chloride
of potash and magnesium, kali, lime.
gypsum, magnesia and gold The gold,
being the heaviest of the elements,
lies at the bottom.
How much gold is there?
Ramsay tells us, and is backed by
other expert chemists, that each
square kilometer of ocean water con-
tains so tons of gold.
The amount, then, lying at the bot
tom would be 10000 pounds of gold,
filling to the brink $50 liter measures.
This would be enough, as before said
to plate the entire surface of the
earth about as heavily as the aver
age silver-gilt goblet is plated-namely,
$4,000 tn part of a millimeter.-London

cold in his head, and the first letter he
dictated was to his wife in the country,
in which he told her that, owing to the
fact that he had slept the night before

through his pajamas, he had caught
pretty severe cold. The word pa
