The New School Law.

The new school law adopted by the
last session of the legislature,
changes, radically, the entire educa-
tional system of Kentucky. 1t be-
hooves every trustee and every citi-
zen who is interested in education,
to supply himself with copy of the
new law, read it thoroughly and
make himself familiar with its num-
erous provisions.
Under the law, the county consti-
tutes a single school district, and the
county judge, county school superin-
tendent and county attorney are con-
stituted commission to divide the
county into not less than four and
not more than eight educational di-
visions. The new law went into eff
feet June Is, but does not affect the
schools for this year. They will be
taught under the old law as hereto
fore.
After the commission above re-
ferred to has laid the county off into
educational divisions, it will sub-di-
vide said divisions into school dis
tricts which must contain not less
than 40 children Of school age and
not more than 100.
On the first Saturday in August an
election must be held in each school
district for one trustee, The trus-
tees must be nominated by the petit
ton of at least ten persons in his
school district who are eligible to
vote. The election shall be by bal
lots which are to be prepared and
furnished by the county court clerk
and paid for by the fiscal court of
each county. The officers of election
for each school district shall be a
clerk and two judges, who shall be
appointed by the regular election
commissioners of the county.
The new law does not interfere in
any way with high schools of the
county which are already established.
The following is brief summary of
the law whose provisions must be at
once complied with:
The law went into effect June Is,
1908. The county is to be divided
into educational divisions before Ju-
ly Is, 1908; each school sub-district
elects one trustee on the first Satur-
day in August; the division boards
organize before August 81, 1908; the
first election Of teachers under this
law is held the last Saturday in June,
1909; the first meeting of the county
board of education is held the first
Saturday in September, 1908.
1t will be seen that the school SEES
sion of 1908-9 will not be directed by
the new law. A bulletin will short
ly be issued, giving detailed infor
nation and suggestions concerning
| the operation of this law.

That is What it Takes For
the Mammoth Cave Each
Year.
In Spring the Wind Rushes
In and in Summer it
Rushes Out.

Everything within the Mammoth
Cave of Kentucky is wonderful, but
the really amazing thing is the way
in which it "breathes." This is a
thing which always puzzles tourists.
The cave takes two "breaths" each
year. During the winter and spring
months the wind rushes into the cav
ernous depths with considerable vio-
lence and noise, and then when sum.
m9r comes it begins to flow out
again, continuing this throughout
the fall.
Whether the wind is rushing in or
out, the current near the entrance
is always so great that tourists have
great difficulty in keeping their Ian
terms lit. Inside the cave, though,
the breathing" is less noticeable.
Altogether the Mammoth Cave is
one of the natural wonders of the
world. 1t is situated in Edmonson
county, KY, and was discovered
about a century ago by a hunter
named Hutching, who was following
the trail of a wounded bear.
The Mammoth Cave is the largest
of many limestone caverns which I'M
derlie the State of Kentucky. In it
are more than 200 miles of streets,
cataracts and lakes, great domes
rising into the air for hundreds of
feet, deep chasms whose bottoms
have never been touched by lead or
plummet, and tier upon tier Of mag
nifcent apartments decorated by the
hand of Omnipotence with glittering
stalagmites and gems of rare beauty.
Not a ray of sunlight penetrates
these gloomy depths, and only the
torch of the guide reveals the treas
ures that abound in this region
where darkness holds eternal sway.
These wonders have all been worked
out by the action of water during
the countless ages that have elapsed
in the making of world.
1t has THE Bridal Altar" a nat
ural shrine set between several sta
lactite pillars, where romantic COT
Piles are frequently married; "The
Cd Arm Chair" in which Jenny
Lind once sat; "Mary's Vineyard, "
with its clusters of crystal grapes;
formation which by optical illusion
| is turned into a statue of Martha
Washington; its River Styx," with
eyeless fish; echo River" a sheet
of water which produces musical vi
brations and echoes and many other
wonderful things.
There is something about the
chemical composition of the earth in
the cave that forms saltpeter, and
during the war of 1912 a vast guam
tity of gunpowder was made there.
This was carried out by miners for
nearly two years and the old ruins
of the works can still be seen. The
purity and dryness of the air also
mummifes bodies, and these have
been found that belong to prehis-
toric races, and in a perfect state of
preservation. The nitrous earth al
so helps to prevent decay.

In the early sixties it was usually thu
duty Of a practicing physician TO rtAo
many miles every day on his regul9R
round Of visits upon his patients. In
those days a young man who had re-
ceived careful medical training In ons
of the best colleges of that day was aa-
customed to ride ten, twenty and Often
thirty miles or more, visiting the siolk
and afflicted. His success was Soon
phenomenal. Doctors and families called
him for consultation to towns at con-
siderable distances by rail. he became
noted in the cure of obstinate
and distressing diseases OF women. Ha
had early discovered that by combinina
the extracts of certain native medicinal
plants IN Just the right proportion, with
out the use of alcohol, his "PreScrip-
tion" almost invariably cured such
cases. Later, in order to place this rem
edy before the public in a shape easily 70

in charge to accurately prepare hts NPras

upson VIII Contest.

The will of Charlotte upson has been remonstrated against by William and Josephine Page of Brooklyn,
 The document states that the deceas- ed had no nearer relatives than Eliza M Grinnell and Josephine A Page, cousins, and judging from it's wording an attempt Is to be made to have the will set aside. All the probate court knows about any of the beneiciarles is the names that appear in the will,
 The will leaves $500 to each of the following persons Mrs, Georgia Foster, Springfield, Mass, Mrs. Mamie Rum mel, Westfeld, Mass; Mrs Maria Bel den, Westfeld, Mass Mrs Josephine Page Brooklyn, x. r.; Mrs Eliza Grinnell East Haven, Frederick Pier pont Gloyersville.
