PLAN INDUSTRIAL
EOUCAT ION.

INV YORK. Nov. IA meeting for
organization will be held under the
auspices of the proposed national asso-
citation for the promotion of Industrial
education at Cooper Union next Friday
night. DIR. Henry S. Pritchell. president
of the Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology, will preside and many promi-
nent men will make addresses.
The objects of the proposed party are
to bring prominently to public atten-
tion the importance of Industrial edu-
cation as a factor in the industrial de-
velopment of the United States, to pro-
vide opportunities for the study and
discussion of the problem and to assist
in other ways in the establishment of
institutions for industrial training.
President Roosevelt has written a
letter to DR.. Pritchell, in which, finding
1t impossible to accept an invitation to
be present, he says:
II should be glad to have you ex-
press to the men who may gather my
hearty personal interest in the matter
of industrial education for our country.
If such body of men can arouse pub
lie interest in this question and can
lead toward a solution that may better
fix the individual citizen for his life
work, one of our greatest economic
questions will be solved"

LOVE Of PATIENT
HIS UNDO|NG,

FRESNO. Nov. 1.-THE winsome face
OF a sufferer in the County Hospital
here has resulted in the suicide of F. c.
Eddy, a trained nurse.
Eddy was employed as nurse In the
surgical ward. He was a broken down
doctor of ability who had been crushed
by the drug habit. During his rounds
several days ago he caught sight of
Eva Bryant as she lay suffering from
a fractured ankle He thought that
she was single, a schoolgirl, in fact
He made love to her and she. perhaps,
returned his advances. Yesterday
morning came the awakening Eddy
learned that the young woman was
married and her husband was expected
hourly to take her away.
Eddy drowned his sorrows in cocaine
and was discharged from the hospital
He went down town to a rooming-
house and took sixteen grains of nux
vomica The young wife is insane with
grief. Eddy was 80 years of age. His
real name is said to be Glassen

BIRTH RATE IN FRANCE
CONSTANTLY DECREASING
Attention Is Drawn to the Nations
Peril by the Publication of
Vital Statistics

PARIS, Nov. 11.-Public attention
has again been drawn to the national
peril involved in the constantly dimin-
ishing birth rate by the publication of
the vital statistics for 1905. The births
in France for this year numbered S07
292, showing decrease of 10.937 from
the total of 1904 The reason for this
decrease Is not to be found in a re-
duction of the number of marriages. in
which the statistics show a slight in
crease over 1904. but IT apparently
arises from the aversion of the French
people to raise large families
The National Association, which Is
studying the matter, has reached the
conclusion that it is necessary to in
culcate the idea that any couple that
raises more than three children are
entitled to and merit public gratitude.

FINDS GENUINE AsPHALTUM.
Interesting Discovery Made During the
Rush to Walker Lake.

GOLDFIELD, New, Nov. 11-One of
the interesting discoveries in the rush
for the Walker Lake reservation has
been claimed by Ellsworth Oldt, who
has brought in what local mineralog gists
have announced as genuine asphaltum
which indicates the presence of OIL 1t
was found in the shale which ordinarily
accompanies oil bearing sands. Experts
have been sent to examine the ground
in view of the indications of oil, and if
they are sustained a company will be
formed to further prospect the ground
If oil of any kind can be found the
value of the ground will exceed that of
almost any gold deposit The lack of
fuel has been one of the greatest draw
backs to the development of this coun-
try.
1t is claimed that numerous indica-
tions of oil are found in the newly
opened territory. -

LITTLE FLORENCE CLAIM RICH.
Showing Said to Justify Installation of
Complete Plant.

GOLDFIELD, New, Nov. 11-James E.
Keelyn of Evanston, Ill, who, with his
associates, has acquired extensive in
terests in this district and is in San
Francisco arranging for the installing
on the Little Florence Mining Company
a lease near the main working of the
Florence Mining Company, including a
40-horsepower hoist, compressor and
air drills, the cost OF which will ap-
proximate $500. The showing procured
upon this property, 1t is believed, will
justify the installation of a complete
plant, and development will be prose-
cuted upon a liberal scale. The COM
pany has already completed a shaft to a
depth of ZIG feet and has drifted some
800 feet. The operators predict a flu
ture similar to the Reilly lease.

EcIipses Not What They Were.

Ecllpses are not what they used
% be. The eclipse, with It's acom-
Danying phenomena, was observed a
generation ago as the manifestation
of certain effects of heat and light
but far more complex is the vision
of the investigator of today. Prof
r. T. Thomson and the Cavendish
school have placed the electromag-
netic theories of matter and OF ra-
diation on the firmest of bases. We
now think of body which, like the
sun, radates energy, as sending out
not heat and light. but corpuscles
electrons of almost popular notoriety
positive and negative ions, and rays
and emanations of such varied types
and complexities that elucidation and
definition still await them.
Then, too. NJ. Lebedet and Messrs
Nichols and Hall have confirmed the
theory of the pressure exerted By
light. Consequently We cannot now
look at the corona as simple glow
it must be viewed as the complex
expressions of light exerted on par
ticles within its ethereal territory, OF
the action and interaction of pulsat-
ing carriers of composite electricity
and matter.

COMPLAINT AGAINST BISHOP

Birmingham. Ala... May s. At
yesterdays session of the general
conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, South, a resolution con-
cerning the preparation of a new
statement of the doctrinal faith of
Methodism was introduced by w. F.
Tillett and w. r. Lambuth, of the
Tennessee conference. as follows:
while reaffirmlng our faith in
our articles of religion we do not be-
lieve that in their present form they
meet the existing needs of our
church as statement of the doctri-
nal system of evangelical Methodist
arminlanism. Believing that the diff
ferent branches of worldwide Meth
odism that are represented in the
ecumenical Methodist conference can
and should unite in the preparation
of such a statement of our common
faith as is needed, and, believing
that this general conference should
take such steps as may be necessary
to secure in the early future the CO.
operation of other representative
Methodist churches in the prepara-
tion of a new statement of our faith,
we, therefore, offer the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the College of
Bishops be requested to appoint a
committee of five members, one of
whom shall be a bishop, which shall
invite other branches of Methodism
to unite with us in the preparation
Of such a statement of our faith and
such an expression of our doctrinal
system as is called for in our day and
this committee shall represent our
church in the preparation of the
same.

How Bees Embalm.
(From Minneapolis JournalD

tfTOHl MlIHtdpoilo Jouih haif
Bees can embalm as well as any
undertaken. All intruders on their
hives are slain and embalmed care
fully. eA
II worm, or a roach. or any in
sect blunders into a hive the bees
will fall upon him and slay him with
their stiHgs. To get the corpse out
would be a difficulty; therefore. en-
balming II. they let It remain.
The embalming process of the bees
is simple. It consists In covering the
corpse with a hermetic coat of pure
wax. Within this alright envelope
the body remains fresh. II cannot in
any way contaminate the hive.
When a snail blunders in among
the bees they cannot kill him on ac-
count of the protection of his shell
SO they embalm him alive. They
cover him, shell and all. with snowy
wax. He rs a prisoner whom only
death releases.
