work actually done in the schools.
l have seen school exhibits through
out the country. They are general
ly prepared from the best in the

is evidently just the everyday work
and is deserving Of praise"
Professor Siders spoke in o
pleasing manner for approximately
an hour, and held his audience wrapt
in attention. His special plea was
for more practical work in the
schools. He said: "In the Grecian
times the work of education WAS to
develop the aesthetic. Sculpture
painting and oratory were consider
ed as the higher atainments. Later
the classics were taught. This is .
commercial age, and we must edu-
cate our boys and girls to live IN
this age. It is not that the classics
and art are not desirable, but the
educational idea of today is along
practical lines. The man with an
American body, and an Ameri-
can suit of clothes and Grecian
head is poorly qualified to battle
with the problems Of this age"
He then made plea for more
equipment IN the schools.
'Learn to do by doings'', he said
'Is tbs educational idea Of today.

While the matter is being tested
and determined, the company is
losing no time getting ready to go
ahead with their operations. The
matter of incorporating the De
Julien Securities Company has been
taken up, papers drawn and sent
east for the signatures of the parties
concerned in the organization of the
company. The company will be
organized under the laws Of the
State OF Idaho, and the papers will
be filed as soon as they are properly
signed and returned.
BY the time the papers are ex-
ecuted the matter of the plant will
be decided and the work ready to go
forward. The machinery will all
be shipped from Salt Lake, except
the large tanks, so it will take but q
short time to get the material on the
ground. The arrangements for the
machinery have been made now, and
the two machines under discussion
are made by the same company.

IF Police Officer French finds out
who the boys are that have been
destroying property in the uptown
district it will go hard with them.
He stated yesterday that he had
some important clews, andthat if be
discovered the miscreants he would
be relentless with them, because of
the daring and lawless deeds they
had committed the laet few even
ings.
Tuesday evening after the show q
party Of boys stopped at Lee
Bowen's blacksmith shop and turned
a number of buggies upside down,
breaking some of them and running
some Of them into the creek. The
penalty is very severe for such deeds
as this and Officer French says that
if such things occur in the future
he will invoke the law to its fullest
extent.
The store of W. w. Clark had
the window broken out of it few
nights ago and some oranges and
other articles were taken taken from
it. This Is also supposed to be the
work of the same gang of boys.

All those who put forth an effort
to make Educational Day success,
should feel repaid. Such meetings
and lectures are we'll worth while,
they not only give the parents and
teachers an opportunity of meeting
together but give the parents an
opportunity of learning, in gen.
eral way, what their boys and girls
are actually doing and accom-
plishing IN their school work.
Educational Day held Friday and
Saturday of last week was pro.
nounced success.
The work of the boys and girls
of the Montpelier schools was on
display at the new high school
building. Every one who viewed
the exhibit expressed themselves al
being surprised and pleased with
the work their boys and girls have
been and are doing, and they fee
that their school year has been pro
ftably spent.
The different Educational Meet

The members of the council say
that they are eminently satisfied
with Mr.. Dalrymple as chief of
police, or that Ed French, who has
been appointed at bis assistant,
would be equally agreeable to them,
but they are not satisfied that Mr..
Dalrymple should have the naming
of an officer for the City Of Mont
pelier.
@If the council is not able to
select a policeman for this city, .
said one member of the council III
discussing the question, "then am

The conflict is not founded on an
objection to either Of the men con.
cerned, but Is purely clash OF
authority between the council and
the mayor, and until the question Is
definitely settled the dissention will
continue.
The meeting of the council hal
been called for this evening, when ;
good attendance is expected, anc
matters will be threshed out as faI

only one hotel and one restaurant where
dinner was a possibility. and he qualified
even this praise by describing their cut

A disappointment that he never got over
was that he was not elected a member Of
the Royal Society. while his lifelong weak
ness and nervous disposition and winter
bronchitis made first Paris and then San
Reno his chosen abode on his attainment
of wealth.
Only twice did Nobel ever visit the

FOREST CREEPING BACK.
Old Virginia Plantation and Ancient
Landmarks Are Disappearing.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Forests are creeping back over aban-
doned farms in many parts of the east.
When wornout fields can no longer pro-
duce agricultural crops nature ta.es them
back and clothes them with trees again to
give them shade and rest and slowly re-
store fertility to the soil. This is more in
evidence in the first settled parts of Vir-
ginia perhaps than anywhere else in the
country, for the reason that a longer
time has passed since the original forests
were cleared away and the second growth
has had better opportunity to take the
land.
In James City county Va, the first per-
manent English colony in the United
States was established 200 years ago. and
in that old county the whole cyc,e of de-
foreStation and reforestation may be stud

the forests back and plantations covered
the country; then the forests came again

STUDYING OWNING ROD.
Scientist Says Changes in Density in
Earth Cause Its Action.
From the New York sun,

From the New York Sun.
Louis Probst a French scientist sta
ticred at Oloron ste. Marie, in the Pry-
enees. thinks there is something in the
OWNING rod His theory is that it does
net point to water or precious metal
but that its action is controlled by any
change in the density of the earths crust
over which the rod is carried.
Thus ne believes it would make the
usual response if it were carried across
the line of subterranean water course
which lad run dry. just the same as If
water were flowing in it. and it would
respond to deposits of oil or natural gas
just readily as to water. ore or prec-
ious metal or coal. He thinks.that an i'm
portant change in the earth's density such
as is caused by subterranean river may
be detected in passing over it in a carriage
or even a railway train. If subterra-
rean water course crosses the line of
superficial one he thinks the line of the
hidden one may be traced with the rod
by n person operating it in beat on the
surface stream.
The fact that divining rod experts can
operate successfully when the ground Is
covered with snow effectually disposes OF
the theory that they are guided by sur
face Indications 1t would be possible for
them. he thinks. to find package OF
bank bills buried in plowed field Just
as easily as if their value inNgold were
there. For in reality it would be neither
the paper bills nor the gold that would at
tract the rcd. but the place where they
were hidden. the place where the homo
geneity of the soil was disturbed. He
further holds that it is not during the
time when it is over a spring or vein
of ore that the rcd is disturbed. but at
the moment when it passes from ordi-
nary ground to the site OF the hidden
pocket or from that site back to ordi-
nary ground.
He considers that. the phenomenon is
one of magnetism. The earth attracts the
rod differently according to the hidden
features of it's structure. If the operator
wears rubber shoes or if he grasps the
rcd with rubber or silk or other nom
conducting gloves nothing Will happen
A magnetized rod. on the other hand, will
give far more positive results than plal',
rod He has, he says. authenticated TINS
by giving the two alternately to a blind
folded operator. Though he never knew
which rod he had. the magnetiZed one
always showed far greater activity
Really, however, it is Indifferent Wha'
material is used. Operators usually pre-
fer a hazel twig. but NJ. Probst thinks I.
whalabone or malacca better: but best or
all is Il thin rod of st5el about an eighth
af ar inch in thickness. with the ends
wrapped in fine copper wire.
