A railroad detective has divided
railroad trespasser into four classes.
To the FIRST class belong men who
have enough money TO pay their fare,
but prefer to save IL and ride on the
bumpers instead. Villagers who
wish to ride to neighboring towns
make up the second. and the third con.
sists OF men who VIII wori long
enough only 10 earn tobacco and grog
money and then loaf their way from
one part of the country to the other.
The brakemen call this class stale
men" and the iramps know them as
gary cats" The fourth class is far
the most dangerous. and Is composed
of the real tramp, who believes that
the world owes him living and takes
1t n the shape OF car rides and what
ever else he can steal on the way.
Ten years OF petty thriving BY these
men cost the Norfolk and Western
s1S0,000 yearly. This. of course. was
before the road was regularly policed.

Directly west of South America, be-
ginning about 600 miles from its
shore, extending little north of the
equator and south of the twentieth
parallel of latitude and covering an
area of about 100000 square miles,
lies an ocean desert, vast region as
large as Russia, in which there is no
plant or living creature, in the sea
or beneath it.
The water throughout this i'm
mense district is comparatively shall
low, averaging about 200 fathoms, it
being in reality an immense volcanic
plateau. The dredge of the United
States sounding boat Albatross, dur
ing six months cruise in 1904-5,
found nothing there but manganese
rock and volcanic lava, worn smooth
by the action of the water.
Day after day the dredge of the
Albatross brought up bushels of
these, varying in size from that of a
large cannon ball to that of a pea.
The ocean plateau is almost as
level as billiard board, daily sound
ings showing a variation of hardly
200 fathoms in 1000 miles.
Not vestige of life, plant or ami
NAL, was found there. Even the sur
face life, which generally teens in
the waters of tropical ATTITUDES, was
absent The water over it is practi-
cally dead without current.v-De-
troit News-Tribune.

Electric Filter.

An electric filter, the invention of
Hungarian engineer, is about to
be exhibited in st. Petersburg. The
filter is in two parts, and is of very
simple construction. One part is con-
nected with an electric circuit, which
sends a powerful current through
the drinking water, and thereby kills
at once any micro-organisms in it;
the second part is an ordinary filter
of an improved type. This new FL
ter is to be tested in the st. Peters
burg hospitals and laboratories. So
long as the Russian capital sees fit
to discharge it's sewage into the Neva,
and so long as the people will per-
sist in using the water of that river
for making tea, there will be splen-
did chance for somebody to make his
fortune and at the same time reduce
the death rate of the Russian capital
by inventing really reliable filter.

The Panama bonds will be used as

of the certificates of Indebtedness will
be placed in the national banks, par
ticularly in the South and West, to
enable the formers to get the cash

Industrial Educntion.

The enlightened people of this
country are becoming more and more
impressed with the importance of in
dustrial education. We have fallen
somewhat behind the procession in
this respect, but we are not so far be-
hind that we cannot catch up.
Massachusetts, has been the first
State to recognize her need and her
responsibility, and has set an exam
pie which is attracting attention and
suggesting imitation in other States
and sections. But this is a matter
that it is for our interest to nation
alize as speedily as possible, that
when progress along this line is re-
ferred to it shall mean the United
States and not any particular part of
it.-Boston Transcript.

Inherited Tendencies.

In an able article in the Daily
Chronicle few days ago, Professor
James Long dealt very frankly with
a question which is rapidly becoming
the question of the time-the form
ing of the coming race by the train
ing of mothers. Great point is given
to his appeal by the presentation of
statistics relating to two American
families-first, that of Jonathan Ed
wards, the theologian; and second,
that of the ancestor of a race of
criminals:
"Of thousand descendants in the
first case, Asa were distinguished
men-judges, professors, lawyers,
college presidents, physicians, clergy
men and authors; while of 1900 de-
scendants of the other, 80 were pro-
fessional paupers, 100 convicted
criminals, sixty habitual thieves, and
seven murderers, while 400 were
self-wrecked, showing a record of
crime, insanity and pauperism al
most without precedent. What pro-
portion of these two results is at
tributable to woman"
Professor Long contends that mod
ern life tends to divide the interests
of fathers and mothers, the former
being content with earning bread and
remaining master of the house, while
the mother is left almost alone to
train, for good or evil, the children.
The old adage, "The hand that rocks
the cradle rules the world" is so
worn as to be obsolete for many. 1t
is no exaggeration to say that elf
all Englishmen were the sons of good
mothers we should be new nation"

OKLAHOMA'S STAR
NOW ON THE FLAG
President Roosevelt Signs Proclama-
ton Admitting the State With
American Eagle Quill.

Washington, D. ca new star
was added to the American flag by
the admission formally into the Union
of the State of Oklahoma President
Roosevelt at sixteen minutes after 10
O'Clock a. M, signed the proclamation
admitting the Territories of Okla
homa and Indian Territory jointly as
one of the American States. Little
formality attended the ceremony
which meant so much to the people of
the two Territories. In appending his
signature to the proclamation the
President used a pen formed from
quill plueked from the wing of an
American eagle. The pen will be de-
posted with the Oklahoma Historical
Society.
1t was about sixteen minutes after
10 when Secretary Loeb threw open
the double doors leading from the
Presidents private Office. He had the
proclamation in his hand, which he
laid on the large, square blotter at
the Presidents position at the lead
of the table. The President entered
and took his seat at once, was handed
the long eagle quill pen by the Sec
rotary, and, himself lifting the lid
from the inkstand, dipped the pen
and wrote his name in large letters,
the pen making an audible scratch
with each movement. When he had
finished his signature, the President
picked up a small blotter, with which
he blotted his name, and then, look
ing up, exclaimed:
Oklahoma is a STATED"

Sacred Trees.

There are many sacred trees Of
India which enter largely into the re-
ligious life of the Hindoos. Chief
among these is the sami tree and the
trembling peepul. Nearly all the
higher hills and rocks in the plains
are crowded each by temple, shrine
or sacred tree. The peepul is known
as the king of trees. 1t is the most
holy, and the three great spirits of
the Hindoos dwell therein. The wor-
ship of the tree is the worship of the
triad Brahma, silva and Vishnu. AL
most every Indian village has its
peepul tree, with raised platform
or altar around it. The devout re-
move their shoes before it and make
obeisance before proceeding on their
way.-Boston Transcript.
