Cruel Brutal.


For the past several days the
High Scool boys have been en-
gagged in cruel, dangerous,
brutal piece OF sport or hazIng,
one that is next to Strlnging
Up By The Thumbs. 1t was
no more nor less than Tossing
In a Blanket.
The only wonder is, that
some self respecting manly,
courageous boy had not knitted
one or more Of his tormentors.
Not being satisfied with tortur-
ing their schoolmates they IN
vaded the business district and
played the game at night on one
or more young business men.
Then they slated at least four
men from thirty to sixty years OF
age, including the Supt. of
Schools, for tossing.
At last the Superintendent
and School Board stopped the
fun just in time to prevent the
fun being stopped by tuaeral.
The middle aged and older
business mea would DOT submit
to any such foolishuess DOR hu-
initiation aud the students ought
to know 1t without having to be
told.
The history of this COUNT y
and the school teachers used to
hold up their hands in holy
horny because the Indians with
clubs ia their hands forced their
captives to run the gauntlet.
The boys at the aigh School
dropped the blanket tossing
sport for this: They would stand
in file with feet wide apart aud
then with a board or other con
veuient weapon in their hand
force some boy to pass down the
line on hands and kuees, aud az
he passed between each pair u
legs had all o. the dust famed
out the bosom of his trousers
Boys are not what they used
to be or they would not submit
without blood
As long as such things are
tolerated in this country we
have no right to turn up our
noses at the Spanish bull fight
nor to speak of the days Of the
Roman gladia ;or with shudder.

Production Of Metal Does Not Keep
Pace with Increasing Demand.

Aluminium is increasingly used In
machine construction, as In crank
cases and gear boxes for motor cars,
for paneling inside Of underground rail.
way cars, for electric wire, and for
new alloys, pigments, and metal plat.
ing; and the aluminium cell as a light
ming arrester has proved to be a val.
liable addition to lightning protecting
devices. During recent years the
price of tin has been very high, and
since adequate new supplies OF ore
have been discovered, substitutes for
tin must be used In manufactured.
Aluminium is regarded as probably the
most available substitute for tin in
the great majority of uses to which
that metal is put. owing to the di.
minution in the price of aluminium, the
practically limitless supply OF the raw
material, and the favorable physical
properties of the metal. As the pro.
duction of aluminium Is c~heapened.
says Scientific American. so will the
uses for 1t increase. The demand
steadily keeps ahead Of the supply.

OIL THROUGH CORE OF WATER.
Why Rlfed Pipe Line Transmits the
OIL Faster.

The secret Of the more rapid trans
mission of oil through a pipe line
proves to be water. The 256
miles OF eigth.inch rifed pipe OF the
Southern Pacific will transmit 49,
900 barrels of fuel oil each "a hours.
An exhaustive series of experiments
has demonstrated that after a small
per cent. Of water has been added to
the oil, and the necessary pressure ap-
piled, that the whole will develop a
whirling motion, and that the water
being the heavier will seek the out
side OF the pipe, thereby enveloping
the oil In a thin film of water acting
as a lubricant between the oil and
the pipe, and thereby greatly reducing
the friction and allowing the core of
oil to glide through the pipe readily.
