SENATE COMMUTE ON
THE VENEZUELA MATTER
Special bv United Press wire:

Special by United Press Wire:
Washington, Apr. 22:-The sem
ate committee on foreign relations
took up today, the consideration Of
the course of action to be pursued
in dealing with President Castro
and the claims against Venezuela.
In the meantime, although the de-
partment insists that nothing is be-
ing done looking toward a hostile
demonstration, It is quite evident
that the situation will be kept well
covered with gunboats. The Dubu-
que and Paducah have been ordered
to Laduayra and the Des Moines will
probably follow in a few days. The
spectacle of friendly flock of war
vessels might induce the Venezuelan
foreign Office to reconsider the pro-
posaIs of the United States to arbi-
trate claims.

In a paper ON the treatment and pre-

were taking quinine did occasionally get

complete difference in the patient
liability to infection and even in the
general mode Of life.

obtaining extraordinary evidence of IFS

morning
Some of the boys in the school were
home boarders, and it was found that
while the boarders at the school took the
quinine in the presence of the master
every morning there were scarcely any
cases of influenza among them, although
the home boarders suffered nearly as
much as before.

BORDER AMERICAN SCHOOLS.
Along the Rio Grande Mexican Children
Attend and Spanish Is Taught.

There are a number of communities in
this part of the Rio Grande border
where the English language is not
spoken.
The American population of these bor-
der counties is very small and is con
fined almost entirely to the larger towns
In the rural ranch districts the Mexican
children are brought up with no knowl-
edge of the English language. They
have little conception of the meaning OF
United States citizenship.
The public free school system of the
state extends even to the most remote
parts of the big commonwealth and the
Mexican children are placed on the same
footing as other children who live in the
more enlightened parts of Texas There
are several public schools in the border
counties which are attended exclusively
by MeXicans. The teachers of these
schools are Mexieans, and some of them
have no knowledge of English. They
conduct their teaching in Spanish and
their pupils are educated in that lam
guage alone Only little tots usually are
found in these schools.
The school buildings are small adobe
structures. 49, Garlic Cor. Kansas City

NEW RING ABOUT SATURN.
Faint Zone Discovered by French Astror-
omer Outside Two Brilliant Ones.

The latest bulletin of the French AS
Economical society contains a report of
the discovery of a new ring about the
planet Saturn by the French astronomer
Fournier on September 5 last. The new
ring he describes as being outside those
already known and entirely distinct from
them. 1t is exceedingly transparent and
but family luminous.
All the conditions were unusually fa-
vorable when he first saw the ring, and
again on September Z, under favorable
circumstances, he saw it as a family
shining but clearly defined zone But
when he went to look for it again on
September IL neither he nor another
skilled observer larry Desloges, could
find the faintest trace of 1t.
They believe it possible that the ring
is only visible at certain times, depend
ing on the angle at which it is presented
TO the earth and also to the illumination
Of the suns rays. They think some of
the observatories in very high places
where the air is very clear, such as
Flagstaff, Ariz. or Arequipa, Peru. may
be able to verify its existence long be-
fore it again becomes visible in Europe.
The new ring and the circumstances of
its discovery present remarkable analo-
ges to the "crape veil' effect discovered
by Bond in 1850, between the planet aud
the inner ring.

Ny soul went singing, for / knew

In her infinite church.

And fame to green from gray.

Against the doors of spring,

Nor cause long tarfying.

Explosives in Daily Use.

Among the many things in almost
constant use are some that are more or
less dangerous from their explosive prop
critics, properties often entirely unknown
to their users.
For examples, chloride of potash loz-
enges if accidentally brought in contact
with an unlighted PHOSPHORUS match
are dangerous. Bicarbonate of potash
if mixed with subnitrate of bsmuth, the
latter a remedy for indigestion, will ex-
plode.
1odide of nitrogen is highly explosive
and is often combined with other drugs.
Its use by those ignorant of its danger
is Il menace.
Salvolatile and choral hydrate are.
under certain conditions, as dangerous
as dynamite.
Tincture of iron and dilute aqua regia
when mixed, as they often are in medi-
cine. throw off a highly explosive gas,
which has frequently shattered the bot
tie in which the mixture was kept.
One often finds bottles of medicine in
which the cork has not been tightly
pushed minus the latter, or has had a
cork pop out of a bottle while held in
ones hands without any attempt to re-
move 1t on the part of the holder. This
always shows that gas is forcing the
cork out.
Danger in combs.
Every now and then one reads of eel
luloid articles, from fancy hair couture
combs down, catching fire and serious
burns or accidents resulting.
1t would seem that every one should
by this time know that celluloid contains
in its composition guncotton and also
camphor. both highly infiammable No
