New York's Bad-Boy School.

From the Springfield Republican.
The new truant school for the bad boys
of Greater New York constitutes a nota>
BILE plan and departure that is worth
telling about. II Is called the Parental
Farm, Is located between Flushing and
Jamaica. and will be ready for a start by
the advent of the New Year. In this
farm. designed for the reclamation of
wayward youth. there are some 1O7 acres,
and about 100000 has already been spent
on its purchase and equipment. At the
start there will be an administration
building. a power house and three dormi-
tories. with room for something over 200
boys; but the plan includes twenty-eight
buildings all told. as dormitories and
workshops are to be added as the number
of bows sent to the school Increases. The
boys committed to 1t for refusal to at
tend the public schools will receive me-
chanical and trade training. and they will
do much of the work of the farm, in ad-
dition TO instruction from books. In this
cheerful and well-ordered surroundings
will offer a rational new start to boys who
have begun to go wrong. The theory
upon which the new truant school Is to be
developed Is that 1t is cheaper to make
good citizens by this means than 1t Is to
build tails for criminals and almshouses
and asylums for the defective. The move
me- Mt Is therefore in the line OF construc-

than that when in future time the true
sculptors of America should have filled
the metropolis with beauty and granduer
1t might be pointed to as the first struggle
OF our infant art" AS such, at least, 1t
is worthy of preservation and respect.
In substantiation of the belief that in
terest in art is increasing in America a
writer in the Burlington Magazine re-
Gently said: "Of late numerous indica-
tions have been given of a change of atti-
tude. Most notable instances were the gift
to the nation of Mr.. Charles L. Freer' s
entire collection, rich above all In Whis-
tiers, and the presentation by Mr.. William
I. Evans of fifty paintings by native ar
lists to the National Gallery at Washing
ton. The Corcoran Gallery in the same
city has purchased pictures from the exhi-
bitlon of contemporary American art,
which it was holding in February Of this
year. and the st. Louis Museum has ac-
quired from Mr.. La Fargo his noble paint
ing, The Wolf-charmer." The Brooklyn
Institute of Arts and Sciences has also re-
Gently made valuable acquisitions, and to
the Metropolitan Museum of New York
Mr.. Hearn, zone of It's trustees. has given
an endowment of over S125OOO, the in
come of which is to be applied exclusively
TO the purchase Of contemporary Amer
lean paintings" These are all hopeful
signs and that Washington is in the van
guard of the forward movement is worthy
of note,
Evening star., 1907-10-19

From Harper's Bazar.
Before we can speak a sentence well
we must consciously or unconsciousiy,
know how to divide the thought into its
elements, into its individual thoughts or
suggestions to break 1t, so to spe ak,
into bits for 1t is bit by bit that the
thought is accepted by the mind In all
speaking. whether direct from the voice
or expressed through print interpreted by
the voice, every sentence contains a,
word which chiefly bears the burden of
the thought. 1t is, of course, this vital
word that ought to receive the strong
est expression. Often in a sentence if all
the words except the vital word, are
slurred over and if the vital word is CIV
en- its value the whole meaning Is flashed d
into the mind of the listener. The context
and association of ideas enable the imag-
ination to follow the thought and even
to give to the obscured words a distinct
ness. That Is, light from the vital word
clarifies every word in the sentence. For
this reason it is peculiarly important that
emphasis should always be placed on the
vital word. Emphasis, of course, does
not neces ssarily mean stress by sound. 1t
may be secured by a lowering of the
voice; a whisper is one of the most pow
erful means of focusing attention. Or 1t
may he secured by a pause before and
after the word spoken.

distance. The maps Of the ocean depths
compiled by our coast and goedetic sur
vey show how the earthquake belts Of
the world, as laid down by the great au-
trenches Of the sea. These trenches are
very long. narrow and deep, and are ex-
actly paralleled by chains of islands rising
out OF the sea-mountain ranges under
water The expulsion of lava from under
these trenches has raised all adjac cent
mountain ridges, and when thus under
mined the sea bottom has sunk according
to Dr. See. Thus mountain ranges are
formed in the sea and are eventually
raised above the water, and hence they
run SO exactly parallel to the shore.
Himalayas Are Growing.
The Himalayas were formed by the ex-
pulsion of lava from beneath the Indian
ocean. The effect Of the ocean there has
not ceased and is still gradually raising
the Himalayas. The elevation of the
ing expelled from beneath the sea and
pushed up under the land
The established theory, accounting fol-
mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes
hitherto. is that as the earth has cooled
the interior molten mass has contracted
or shrunk away from the crust just as the
water of a frozen river falls below the Ice
time to time forming enormous rents and
f1ssures through which molten rock ex.
uded and formed mountains.
But there has been no sensible contrac.
ton In the earth's crust since our globe
attained its present dimensions, according
to DR.. See.
How Earth Was Made.
1t seems likely that in the formation o1
earth meteorites and finer planetary dust
came together at such a rate that the
whole new planet thus constituted was
made to glow, its greatest heat being al
the center. Then as our planet grew ir
mass by the addition of other materials
derived from meteorites its pressure in.
creased also and eventually became sc
great as to prevent circulation Of those
heat currents caused by warmer mate
rials rising to the top. At length the sur
face, gradually cooled by radiation, grew
dense and solid. and thus arose the in
crusted earth. Only one-half of the origi
nal heat caused by the condensation Of

u The shaping Of her mountains

generation of her earthquakes, volcanoes

but by explosions of steam generated by
ocean water leaking through her crust.
These theories, attacking established no
tions as to the past and future OF earth,
have just been announced to his fellow
scientists by the well-known astronomer
DR.. T. J. ]. See, professor of mathematics,
United States Navy.
How Our Oceans Leak.
Our ocean bottoms are leaking through
earth's crust. and this crust Is composed
Of from ten to twenty miles Of solid rock,
like granite. according to Prof. See. This
leakage is going on from age to age and
is not periodic. The enormous pressure OF
our oceans enables their water to, filter
through a rocky shell of such a thickness
as twenty miles. Just beneath this solid
crust lies molten rock. or what we COM
monty call lava. The water leaking from
the sea on encountering this hot lava gen.
crates steam, which at times causes ex-
plosions. These commissions are the only
cause of earthquakes and volcanoes. II
other vapor besides steam Is at WorE
beneath the crust. why does 1t not escape
through the vents of volcanoes, asks Dr.
See And, II this steam comes from the
central materials of the globe, why do no,
volcanoes and earthquakes occur In the
interior of continents. as well as along the
coasts, on islands and in the depths Of the
sea?
How Mountains Are Formed.
When the tension of the imprisoned
steam under the oceans becomes very
great, 1t finally causes the earth's crust te
| yield along the oceans margins, ant
mountains are pushed up where the crust
| breaks parallel to the coast. When ar
avenue of escape is thus once opened fol
| the lava, 1t continues active and the
mountains grow higher and higher, unless
meanwhile the sea recedes to too great 8

the sphere has probably been radiated
away. and an equal amount therefore
probably remains stored up inside earth S
crust Observations seem to prove that
in transmitting earthquake waves our
globe behaves as II 1t were a solid
throughout, which indicates that the mol
ten matter under the crust Is under such
pressure that it acts as an elastic solid.
center gives 1t an enormous rigidity, prob
ably between that of Bessemer steel and
nickel steel. This indicates that no cur
rents can circulate at great depths. and 1t
Is obviously untrue. as some geologists
imagine, that liquid lava is expelled from
deep down in our globe.
The roots Of our volcanoes are seldom
deeper than twenty miles. DIR. See said.
Lavas have not come up from great
depths since earth's crust began to form.
No currents were stirring at any consid-
era ble> depth even when the surface. of
earth was wrapped in flaming fluid. Not
even have our Notwithstanding earthquakes
been known to originate at a greater
depth than thirty or forty miles. Earth
quakes arise either in the crust of earth
or in the layer just beneath. Deeper
movements would be far more terrific than
our Notwithstanding earthquakes of today,
but would be of more nearly equal In
tensty throughout the world. The pres
ervation of the ruins of some of our
oldest classic temples proves that no really
CURED within the last 1900 or 5000 years.
Such supposed convulsions as have al
ways been popular in geology have not
really taken place, for the great CONT
nents have not greatly changed their
places. All important changes in the
earths crust have been due to external
agencies, principally earthquakes caused
by the leakage of the seas and seldom ex-
tending below fifteen or twenty miles.
Earth Expanding.
The earth Is not now shrinking, nor has
it been at any time since the consolida-
ton of it's crust commenced, said the as
tronomer Far from contracting. 1t may
be in reality very slightly expanding.
This expansion is due to the formation,
nearly everywhere beneath earth's crust,
of pumice which is elevated by the steam
forming under the oceans. Thus the level
of the continents Is raised, in spite of the
erosion of the surface rocks. The ocean
level is perhaps rising slightly. although
