Big Wage Raise on p. r. r.
The board of directors Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company has author
lied general 10 per cent advance in
wages for all permanent employees re-
ceiying less than 5000 month, to go
into effect Dec. 1. This wage in
crease will affect 179,458 workers. The
directors state that this advance is
due to the increased cost Of living and
the present great prosperity of the
country, which has made 1t possible
to distribute larger dividends to stock
holders On the Pennsylvania lines
east of Pittsburg, Erie and Buffalo
10 per cent advance was made in 1907,
but these men also will share the
present 10 per cent advance. On the

Senior Wrangier Abolished.
By the vote of 2O6 to 100 the senate
Of Oxford university, England, has dis,
continued the publication Of the names
Of students In the mathematical tripOs
i'm the order Of merit, and hereafter
there will be no ''senior wrangler."
homemade Text Books Barred.
The New York city board Of educa-
ton has decided to prohibit the use of
all text books prepared by teachers In
the city's employ. This will bar out,
Comrades grammar and Borachio's
song collection. Only one member Of
the board voted against this action.
Fraternity Discrimination Upheld.
A decision of the supreme court of
Washington upholds the policy of the
all privileges except class attendance
to pupils who are members Of secret
or Greek letter fraternities. The mem
bers had been prohibited from belong
ing to debating clubs, athletic teams,
glee clubs and the like The court
fraternities tend to destroy good Or

also announced his purpose to make
another attempt to reach the pole after
getting fresh supplies and making re-
pairs. His dash was impeded by sew
eral tons Of poisonous dog meat and
the loss of other supplies by breaking
of ice. Mrs. Peary, who started with
her son to meet the explorer at Sydney
or farther north, said no words could
express her elation and happiness over
the fact that her husband was 'xhet
hero Of the most successful polar expe-
dition in the history Of the world"
One important scientific result Of thfsI
expedition is the exclusion Of the the
Org of palaeocrystic sea- This theory
arose from the observation of peculiar
foe ice In the ocean north Of Grant,
Land by the British expedition under
Captain Mares in 1875; hence the name
of this part Of the Arctic ocean, which
means a sea Of ancient ice. 1t was
thought that 1t was covered with an
expanse of enormously thick ice and
that the sea was shallow, the foes
resting on the bottom. Peary found
the foe ice thick, but not of the an
Gent variety supposed by Mares. The
ice as a sledge route failed him utter
ly,Aas 1t broke up into big and little
islands under an unusually mild win
ter Peary and his party saved their
lives by converting eight dogs into
food.
A Wireless Telephone.
A lieutenant of the Swedish army is
credited with having evolved prac-
teal wireless telephone, and the Swed-
ish papers announce that public
demonstration will be given next
month at Copenhagen. --s
A TubeIsss Telescope.
A telescope consisting Of but one lens
and consequently named the ''uni lens"
the invention Of Major Baden-PoweIl
of the British army, is an application
Of familiar principle. 1t consists Of a
convex lens two and half inches
wide, with focal length of six feet
This, mounted at the end Of stick,
magnifies distant objects about four
dlameters.
Scaled Mount Mckinley.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook Of Brooklyn
the explorer and mountain climber, re-
turned to Seattle with his party, hay-
ing made the ascent of Mount McKin-
ley in Alaska. He verified the height
as given by the government-namely,
10000 feet. He also opened up new
region of about 1900 miles known as
the Yentna district
Exclusive Wireless System.
An entirely new system Of wireless
telegraphy was submitted to the re-
cent international wireless conference
at Berlin. This is the invention Of
Vladimir Poulsen Of Copenhagen, and
its chief feature is the substitution Of
continuous flow of Hertzian waves
for the old method Of intermittent
sparks. This is said to solve the much
vexed question of Intervention between
stations working simultaneously. Prac-
tically any number Of stations within
range Of each other may now operate
without interference. and one can COM
municate with another without inter
rupting other lines Of communication.

Powwow With Ute Chiefs.

Major General Greedy wired the de-
partment at Washington that Colonel
Rodgers Of the Ninth cavalry, which
forms part of the military expedition
against the Ute Indians in Wyoming
held an extended conference with the
chiefs, who had promised to go to
Washington, and tell their grievances
to the president. Rodgers said that he
was convinced that the Indians were
acting in good faith and did not think
it necessary to disarm them. The
chiefs consented to go to Fort Mead,
where they were held as prisoners
pending the final decision of the presi-
dent. Il Is apparent that the Utes are
dissatisfied at the opening up of the
entire Utah reservation and that they
,iesire new hunting grounds" and
freedom from free citizenship.

In the election of James T. Harahan
as president of the Illinois Central rail
road by vote of 8 to 4 in a special
meeting OF the directors at New York
came the climax of the financial rival
~ between e. Fl. Hartman and Stuy-
vesant Fish. Thus Hartman realized
his ambition to control a transcontinen-
tai railroad system, the Illinois Central
being the one missing link in making
such a system profitable. Harahan had

A Woman EnIightens Women.
Mrs. Sally Norris Corey had some
really refreshing things to say to the
clubwomen who attended the meeting
Of the Society For Political Study at
New York. One was that woman
must be either fool or a toady with
out original or Independent speech if
she was to be a popular clubwoman
She said the business woman was ali
right if she was one, but that too many
made pretence of business, hoping to
secure notice or make a match. She
compared the nineteenth century moth
er and homenaker with the I'D to date
college girl pursuing foreign title
''negleetful mothers Of unwished for
children. She insisted that until We
had women judges, juries and execu-
toners the sex would never be ON a
