orally believed that they will elect secre-

sidered II to have been chosen.
At the coming meeting 1t Is possible that
the matter may be allowed to go over.
Several names have been considered,
among them Prof. c. R Van Hise Of the
University of Wisconsin and Charles D.

meeting of the regents, but IL there is an

Lightning Struck Monument.
On April 5, 1885, and on June follow
Ing, during heavy thunder storms, the
Washington Monument was struck by
lightning. Upon examination a crack was
discovered in the stone on the north face
OF the apex. A fragment Of that stone
was Clipped OF about three-quarters Of
an inch at the bottom This accident
caused Gen. Casey, then chief of en-.
gineers of the army. to seek the advice OF
q committee consisting OF Prof Ii. A.
Rowland Of Johns Hopkins University
Prof. Simon Newcomb and DR.. T. c. Men,
denhall of Washington. These gentlemen
were invited to inspect the monument and
recommend some device by which 1t could
be enfectually protected from lightning
After a careful examination they recon-
mend that the interior conductors should
lightning rods and greater number Of
points to be exposed upon the exterior OF
the apex Of the monument. The plan, as
report for 1885, devised by them, con-
sisted of four one-half-inch copper rods
fastened by band to the aluminium cap
the pyramidion: thence, passing through
the masonry they extend inward, and are
joined to the iron columns that furnish
a shaft for the elevator AS these ex-
terror rods are each over sixty feet long.
they are also connected at two interme-
date points of their length with the iron
columns by means Of copper rods one-hal1
and three quarters of an inch In diameter,
respectively, furnishing sixteen rods in
all, connecting the exterior system OF CON
ductors with the interior conducting col
umns. Where the exterior rods upon the
corners cross the eleven highest horizontal
joints of the masonry of the pyramidion1
they are connected with each other all
around by other copper rods sunk INTO
those joints All of these exterior RODS
couplings and fittings are plated with
gold, and are studded at every. five feet
inches in length. gold plated and tipped
with platinum.
Since these precautions have been taken
around the tip Of the monument but no
damage has been done.

ROCKVILLE, Md, January 7. 1907.
Under an agreement entered into several
weeks ago between counsel for the Chevy
Chase Club and States Attorney Robert
B. Peter the two cases of the state Of
Maryland against the club for violations
of the local option law Of the county were
settled here today. AS agreed upon. plea
of guilty was entered to the Indictment

fine of 500 and costs imposed In the
other case, which was found at former
term of court on testimony furnished by
two county officers who visited the club
with a search warrant and conf1scated a
large quantity Of liquors. the states attor-
ney entered a nolle prosequi upon payment
by the club of the costs which released the
LIQUORS taken under the search warrant and
which have since been securely locked in
a cell at the jail here. 1t was also agreed
nv the Chevy Chase officers that the club
would inaugurate a boni-f1de system Of
lockers and that there would be no further
violation of the local option law at the
club house.
When the fall golf tournament Of the
club was held Mr.. Peter procured list Of
the names of the members Of the club who
had qualified and had summonses issued for
these gentlemen. Mr.. Peter is an enthusi-
astfc golfer, and he was able to instruct
the officers, from the entries given in the
newspapers as to the order in which the
different players would tee off, and by this
means several were summoned before the
grand jury. Soon after these summonses
were served the agreement referred to was
reached,

Importance Of Toys.
From Everybody's.

From Everybody's.
A little of every age Of civilization is In
its toys. The future historian will have no
difficulty in reconstructing our age IL he
finds merely few toys In dusty garrets or
museums. Do you know what the little
children in the early days of the prosecuted
Christians played with? I have always
thought 1t at once pathetic and horrible;
they played with little toy instruments of
martyrdom. So today childhood plays with
the things Of science. What went oversee
this year from Paris and Nuremberg were
toys Of wireless telegraphy. electrostatic
machines. electric tramways, automobiles
driven by alcohol or electricity, electric tor
pedo-boats that plunge and come to the
surface again, cinema tographs, for the mag
ic lantern is declassed, and chromatropes
that present colored moving pictures; these
scientific fancies of the moment and dozen
others. I looked at them one and all and
mazement grew upon me. What kind of q
little boy Is he who will play with these
somber and intricate toys? And pictured
him as a dreary and learned little man,
buttoned up In q black blouse, one finger
lifted to his enormous forehead and his eyes
wrinkled with uncanny thought.
And then remembered that even the lit
tie twenteth-century boy Is one Of the Wise
People; in his untiring wisdom he knows
that toys-even Ruhmkorn coils and Geissler
luminous tubes and voltameters-are best
when broken. and foresaw for him SPLEEN

To Seize Coal for Schools.

quest Of the board of education deta'i o.
twenty policemen will mount train OF
wagons today and go to the bunkers of the
Western Fuel Company to procure sun1-

Three schools had to be closed yesterday
for lack of fuel. The man who has the
contract to supply the school department
with coal declares that the Western Fuel
Company will not sell him coal at the figure
named in the contract alleging that it has
no coal on hand to supply any contracts,
notwithstanding the ship Sheila, laden with
5000 tons, consigned to the company,
reached port Sunday.
