Discarded War Stores in Potomac,

"We found many curious things
while dredging in the Potomac" said
Captain Charles Vivian, who had
charge of the dredging work in the
Potomac when the channel between
the arsenal and the Potomac flats was
d%eepened, but perhaps the most in
teresting that was brought up by tho
big machine was a box about two
feet square. 1t was securely sealed
and was water tight. When We open
ed it we found a dozen or more three
inch shells, and upon drawing the cap
of one of them we found the powder
as dry as the day it was placed there.
Just to see if it was still in good
condition we tried one, and the shell
exploded with as much force as it
would have the day after it was
made.
after examining the shells closely
we discovered that they were ammu-
milton evidently discarded during the
civil war. Captain Lawson took the
whole lot out into the open and set
them off, and every one was still
able to do a lot of damage had it
been aimed in the right direction. We
pulled up many other interesting rel
les of the war-old bugles, rifles,
swords, etc. have several of them
at home now.
81 don't know what would have hap
pened had our big dredging machine
struck the box of shells in such a
manner that they would have been
exploded, and | tremble sometimes to
think of what might have been the
consequences. The bottom of the
Potomac, no doubt, is full of just such
things. "-Washington Post.

thinks it is worthy of inquiry whether
the agricultural interests have not

contend, subjected to taxation for the
purpose of helping other branches of

should be deserving the occupations
that are under the bpm and crowding

Salt and Fresh Water Lakes.

Fresh water lakes are always only
expansions of rivers, due to the par"
ticular Typographical cOnfiguration of
valley. They are all characterized by
the fact that the water that they re-
ceive runs out either continuously OF
internationally and that the chemical
constitution of their water remains
constantly the same as that of the
streams and rivers of the same region.
Salt lakes, on the other hand, are al
ways closed basins, without outlet, and
their water is removed only by surface
evaporation. These facts being well
understood, we see at once why the
former lakes contain fresh water and
the others salt water. Water Is ma
lures great solvent. Hardly a single
substance, simple or compound, es'
capes its dissolving action. Conse-
quently the water that flows over the
earths surface or in its depths con-
tains constantly in solution substances
that finally accumulate in the great
common reservoir, the ocean, whose
mass, removed only by evaporation,
becomes more and more charged with
saline matter.-Paris Cosmos.

Plant and Animal Unity.

Professor Ray Lancaster in his new
work on the Kingdom of Man" de-
clares that the recent discovery of the
essential unity of plant and animal
organisms is not less epoch making
than the discovery of the circulation Of
the blood. His book, which is pub

Of both animal and vegetable life and
that the animal is moving plant. Tn
til recently an scientists held that each
vegetable unit is boxed up in a case
Of cellulose, but that animal cells, not
being so imprisoned, do freely COM
municate. The protoplasm Is not now
regarded as chemical expression, but
as a structure holding In its meshes
many and varied chemical bodies. 1t
is now known that the stain taking
bands or chromosomes on the nucleus
of cells are of definite fixed number,
varying in different species of plants
and animals, md that they are halved

Professor Bell gives first credit to De-

said Professor Bell, is that of improv-

He improves upon the proverb that
to reform man you must begin with
his grandfather, by saying that you
must begin with the grandfather when
he is child. He advises against too
early schooling, and expresses the be-
lief that Generalization is the curse

saying that the age Of ten is time
enough to think Of school. Prior to
that period he would have the child
live in the open, in close touch with
nature, where he can get plenty of sun
shine, good air and nourishing food.
He contends that by crossing, selection,
cultivation and persistence you can fix
honesty, fairness, purity, industry,
thrift, or what not. He admits that
heredity will make itself felt first, and
that there will be strong tendencies to
reversion to ancestral traits, but, In the

Model Exposition Playground.
The Playground Association Of

ground at the Jamestown exposition,
containing only homemade apparatus,
that is, not patented, or such as can
be duplicated by an ordinary carpenter
at small expense. The playground will
occupy 200 feet square and will accom-

show municipalities, particularly in
the south, the advantage and economy
of giving city children such opportuni-
ties for health and development The
apparatus will include such familiar
devices as swings seesaws, slides,
ladders, sand piles, basket ball, volley
ball, flying rings, bars, etc. Supple
menting the outdoor exhibit there will
be an indoor one, consisting of photo
graphs of Fairgrounds in all cities
which carry on such activities and
data as to the cost of erection, main
tenancc, etc. There will also he NOV
