neglects the expressive side of the
students nature. No impression with
out expression has indeed become a
leading shibboleth Of our modern peda-
gogy. The mind is not only receptive
and retentive, it is responsive as well
and no theory of education and no
method of teaching can lay claim to
adequacy which does not provide for
training in motor responses of every
character. We must not only have
of play. gymnastics, athletics, manual,
ing. but the method of teaching the con :
ventional branches must be modern
lied by insistence upon comprehension
rather than slavish memory work; on
more written and research work; more
note books, drawings. mountings, plans
and maps, more measurements and
laboratory experiment. The child S
artistic and religious impulses must be
refined and strengthened by permitting
free scope for their exercise. This
aesthetic and religious culture is not
complete if one has simply learned to
admire the forms Of beauty and the OBJ
jects of the religious imagination. II
art and religion, these finest fruits of
our passionate and impulsive nature,
are to be perpetuated, we must love
and live them, giving passionate utter
ance and expression to our artistic and
religious sentiment in poetry, or
musical measure, with pencil. brush o.
chisel and in nobly active virtues of
the religious life, faith, hope and low
ing deed" ~

ROASTED SAURKR.AUT.
Forty Tons of 1t in a Burned Pickle
Factory.

New York, Oct. 2.-Lots of New
York children may have to go without
pickles this winter. owing to fire that
occurred last night at Hicksviile, L. l.
At o'clock flames were discovered in
the big pickle factory of Albert & Ma
guire and despite the frantic efforts of
the villagers the entire plant said to
be one of the largest in the country,
was destroyed.
Forty tons of saurkraut was roasted
to black cinders- Thirty tons of
pickles, averaging 100000 pickles to
the ton, or 30.0O0,000 pickles in all,
were destroyed. The savory smell of
hot saurkraut aud pickles was diffused
all over that part Of Long Island. The
fire lighted up the sky for miles
around.
Half dozen lawyers who were try
ing a case before a magistrate at
Hicksville rushed out of the court
room and. aided by citizens. succeeded
in pushing one whole carload of
pickles out of the factory shed and to
a place of safety, The loss was esti-
mated at $4,000, partly covered by
insurance.

Doe Should Be Lawful Quarry.

1t has taken Commissioner Thomas
some time to get around to the idea that
the deer hunting law needs some change
for the benefit of legitimate hunting and
thus opposed to illegitimate slaughter.
Mr.. Thomas favors lengthening the open
season for the purpose of reducing the
number of hunters in the woods at any
one time, his theory being that few would
spend more than few days deer hunt
ing. To this plan he might well have
added, in our opinion, the legalizing of
the killing of doe during the open season.
Hundreds of doe are killed anyway dur
ing the open season for two-thirds of the
time hunter cannot tell when he shoots
whether the game is buck or doe
The doe are left to rot in the woods or
are eaten in some retired camp. Another
thing is the fact that at the present time
the number of doe is out of proportion to
the number of buck. Consequently many
doe do not raise fawn and are thus add
ing nothing to the supply of game We
believe that it would be good thing to
allow an open season of two weeks for
both buck and doe for the next two years
and then if it is found that the number
of deer is being seriously depleted the
law could be again changed

OUR BALLOT SYSTEM.

The practice OF having the names oi
candidates for all state, congressional and
county offices printed on one ticket re-
duccd the republican gubcrnatoial vote
by fully l,0OO in the opinion 81 the Bur
iington Clipper. The Clipper is authority
for the statement that voter particularly
interested in some county contest marked
only the names Of the candidates in
whom they were interested, fearing that
IL they attempted 10 do more they would
spoil the entire ballot. There is no doubt
that Nermont's ballot presents grave diff
fculties 10 the average voter who wishes
10 split the ticket. The rigid party col.
umns with the big square at the head Of
each make straight voting the easy
course and tend TO discourage anything
like discrimination with reference to in.
dvidual fitness. This is Of course what
the party leaders desire. but is it what
the people OF the state want:
The Clipper thinks that this difficulty
could be obviated by having the state,
county and congressional tickets printed
on separate DdIols, bul Nuuluh I sun
more be accomplished by the adoption Of
the Massachusetts form of ballot on
which the names of all candidates for
each office appear alphabetically with the
party label following each name! 4 lit
tie more crossing would be necessary, to
be sure, but no citizen could say that he
had unintentionally voted for candidate
whose fitness he doubted simply because
his name appeared in a certain party col
umn. The people of Massachusetts, are
credited with voting more intelligently
than those of any other state, but the
reason is not because the people OF that
commonwealth are more intelligent; it is
because their form of ballot encourages
independent and intelligent expression of
opinion. Such expression should be en-
couraged also among Nermonters. 1t
would result in better qualified men in
every official position, less corruption and
ring rule, fewer spoiled ballots and a
greater measure of government by the
people themselves instead of the politi-
clans What's good enough for Massa-
chusetts and Governor Hughes is none
too good for Vermont.

WARM AIR ABOVE THE COLD.
A Curious Fact Recently Observed by
MeteorolCgists.

Students of the upper air were aston
ished when the little balloons they sent
up, with self-recording thermometers, told
them one day that in the high atmosphere
there is stratum which is warmer than
the air Immediately below it. No one
has yet explained this strange inversion of
temperature, but it has now been OBJ
served so many times in different parts
of the world that there can be no doubt
about it.
1t was discovered in 1891 almost sim
ultaneously, by Mr.. Teisserenc de Bort
near Paris, and by Professor Assmann in
Germany Since then nearly all the bal
looms that have risen above 10000 feet
in central Europe have penetrated this
stratum of warmer air. No one knows
yet its upper limits.
In England it has been found that the
average height of this layer of warmer air
is about $4,000 feet.
In the last three years DIR. A. Lawrence
Rotch has set afloat seventy-seven bal
lonssondes at st. Louis. Most of those
which rose higher than $4,000 feet en-
tered the stratum of warmer temperature.
ture at 47,600 feet was 80 degrees Fahren-
heit, while at the greater altitude of
81, 100 feet the temperature had risen to
p degrees. Two. days later the coolest
temperature-s0 degrees, was found at
80, 700 feet, while only $500 feet higher
the temperature rose to SO degrees
This warmer stratum of air has not yet
been discovered over the tropical Atlantic,
but the noteworthy fact has been estab-
lished that above the equator in summer
it is colder at height of eight miles than
it is in winter at the same height in
north temperate regions.
