there will he a material change In the
plan to give President Roosevelt a
bear hunt In the Louisiana canebrake
region.
"If President Roosevelt takes the
proposed bear hunt at the time an
nounced he will be subjected to very
scriors danger. That region is the
breeding place both Of malaria and
myraids Of mosquitoes of the
stegomyla fasciata family that carry
maIarlai fever just as effectually and
surely as it has been proven that they
convey yellow fever when yellow jack
rnce comes around Somebody ought
10 make an effort to havesthe expedi-
tion diverted"
Such was the assertion today of a
visiting Southerner who has hunted
in the Mississippi and Louisiana big
game country. He expressed deep
concern over the announcement OF
the plan for the hunt in Louisiana
and hoped that the president would
be warned In time to avert unneces-
sary risk Of his health.
To the suggestion that those who
were to entertain the president on the
expedition ought to know
where they were going the reply was
that they were nevertheless evidently
Ill informed. Moreover. the gent'e-
men Of whom the president was to
be the grest were not themselves
notable as hunters and were net
Injured to the insIdIuus rrrifs Of the
malarial lowlands, They were busi-
ness men, who did not hunt as often
as the president. and were only pro-
viding this sport for him in order to
give him diversion which they
thought would greatly please him,
without realizing the gravity of the
venture.

KS TO SCHOOL PUNISHMENT.

New York City's Board of Education has ordered an investigation to deter mine whether or not it is advisable t0, return to the rule of corporal punishment. Since it's abolition some time ago majority of the principals report that they cannot maintain good order and discipline, moral suasion proving entirely inadequate. Many members of the board believe a return to the old system which would permit a boy to be whipped is a dangerous retrogression, but they were not strong enough to prevent the order to inquire into the matter. It might be well to adopt the plan practiced by Judge stubbs in the Indianapolis Juvenile Court. and give the parent an oppor- tunity to trounce his own offspring in the presence of the principal as an alternative to having the child disnliss- ed from school Most parents would probably prefer this method to rule
 which would permit the teacher to do
 the whipping. We do some things in these days better than the fathers did, no doubt, but Solomon's wisdom has
 not all been proved unsound.-Intlian- apolis Star.

COMPRESSED AIR
 FROM TIE TIDES Interesting Experiments on the Coast of
 Maine.
MUCHPOWFRPROBABLE
Another Revolution in Tn dustrial Affairs
 Possible.

Experiments have for some time been In progress at the mouth of the Georges river, South Thomaston, Knox county, Me, to determine the practica- bility of developing power in the form of compressed air from the movement of the tides, which at this point have rise and fall of about twelve feet. IA model plant on small scale has been constructed, and, so it is claimed, has worked successfully. William 0. Weber, q Boston hydraulic engineer, has come to South Thomaston, and has been making surveys in that vicinity with the view to the establishment of Q tidal power plant of 1000 to 5000 horse- power.
 The surveys have been conducted at Thomaston and Pleasant Beach, If the plant is built at Thomaston 1t will have a horsepower of 1000; if 1t is built at Pleasant Beach It will be i've shaft plant, with a horsepower of 5000. Engineer Webber says this enterprise is not, as many suppose, an experi- ment, there being already four similar plants in operation in this country, but as vet none has been built in salt wa l ter, except the model at South Thon1- aston, which proved beyond doubt that the extra weight of the salt water give a compressed air power that is destin- ed to revolutionize industrial affairs wherever it is, possible to locate such a | plant.
 Both at Thomaston and Pleasant Beach soundings were made to ascer- tain the depth to rock bottom, and what it would cost to construct the dam necessary to divert the current to the point where the engineer could harness it, This dam would have a boat lock capable of accommodating any vessel for which the river is navi- gable
 A five-shaft plant could be built at cost of about $500,000, while 8 one shaft plant would cost about $150,000. These figures are but estimates of the crudest character, for the actual work ing drawings, based on this survey and the calculations as to materials and la- boz, are yet to be evolved.
 The portion of the Atlantic coast par ticularly adapted to the construction of a tide water compressed air plant IS between 40 and 50 North latitude. The corporation which is to eventually operate the invention will investigate almost every tidal basin along the New England coast. Soundings similar tc those made in Knox county will prob ably be made near Portland very soon
 The distance at which the power may be utilized is governed only by the commercial problem of piping. En. gineer Webher believes that twenty miles would be the commercial radius Power from compressed air plan at Pleasant Beach could be utilized a reasonable expense in operating tht mills of Camden.
 Engineer Webber made the follow ing statement concerning the proposed plant and the invention in general At various points along the Main
 coast the mean tide is about ten feet the maximum tide about thirteen feet
 and the neap tides at least nine feet so that the power development is muc easier than when there Is a greate variation between the maximum an,

In this dam, where the main chan nel Is navigable will be lock for ves-,, sels, forty feet wide, 200 feet long, and twenty-eight feet deep. On either side! of this lock will be one or more sets of shafts, each set making unit, or compressor, of 1000 or more horse power.
 'These shafts will be sunk into the rock to depth of 20S.5 feet below mean low water, the down-how shaft being 15.75 feet In diameter, the up- flow shafe 35.65 feet in diameter The inflow gates will be five in number, and ten feet wide, the outflow gates, six in number, and ten feet eight inches wide.
 "The water on entering the inflow gates will swing them open, pass down the dowp-flow shaft at velocity of sixteen feet per second, drawing in air through about 1,5O0 half-incl inlet tubes. Arriving at the bottom of the shaft, the combined air and water will flow in both directions horizontally, the air separating from the water until ali of the air is accumulated in the upper part of the separating chambers, The water will then flow up the up-take shaft at a velocity of three feet per second, and thus out through the out flow gates.
