little that only the most delicate measure
ments can detect any variation in bulk.
From this property the power of the ny
draulic press is derived, since the molecules
of water are so compact that they are inca
pable of being compressed. When pressure
is exerted on any part of the surface of a
liquid, that pressure is transmitted undl-
minished to all parts of the mass and in all
directions
If piston is fitted in a close box filed with
water, and the piston pressed down with the
force of one pound to the inch, every square
inch Of the interior surface Of the box is
pressed outward with the force Of pound.
Now, if the piston he's an area of one inch,
and if there is an opening, in the box OF one
thousand inches in area, the pressure OF one
pound On the piston becomes pressure of
one thousand pounds on the opening.
These experiments however, although very
astonishing, are not SO impressive as when
we see the power of water in practical pur-
suits, particularly in hydraulic mining. This
is carried on 20 such an extent In some parts
of California as to change the face OF the
country Great hills have been leveled, and
valleys filed up, and the course of streams
entirely altered.
All this is done by stream of water from
a pipe or hose. None but those who have
seen the operation can realize the wonderful
manner in which the streams from the hose
cut TO pieces and tear down the hills that
hold the precious metals.
Senator Fair, of California, speaking of
the power of water in hydraulic mining,
stated that under vertical pressure of one
or two hundred feet, the force of the stream
Los Angeles herald., 1908-06-21

stream established an equilibrium of pres
sures There would be point at which the
upward pressure OF the stream would exact
~ balance the gravity pressure OF the bout
der, holding it, the half-ton rock, there sus-
pended.
In practice, of course, the boulder could
not be balanced accurately upon the axis of
the stream, but would fall to one side or the
other. But if a large conical basket of iron
bars were arranged about the nozzle, SO as to
catch the boulder whenever it should be de-
hected from the stream and return it to the
nozzle, the one thousand pounds of quartz
would be kept In play like ball in foun-
tain
As to cutting these streams, Professor Christy
says that he has often tried to drive a crow
solid as a bar of iron, and, although he
could feel the point of the crowbar enter
the water for perhaps half an inch, the bar
was thrown forward with such force that it
was almost impossible to retain it in the
grasp.
An axe swung by the most powerful man
alive could not penetrate the stream, yet it
might be cut by the finger Of a child, if the
child We're seated on a railway train moving
parallel with the stream in the same dlrec-
ton and with the same velocity. That velo-
city would be considerably more than mile
a minute.
OF course the statements here presented
will not astonish mining experts or scientists
generally, but they will be interesting to the
average reader who is accustomed to regard
water as the least destructive liquid that can
be put into motion, and is familiar with no
stronger manifestation of its power than the
velvety touch of the stream from the faucet.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-06-21

TIN the old city of Herculaneum was
found some time ago remarkable
painting, one which will appeal to
the interest and sympatf- O! Ill ~oung
people.
In part of this painting we see three
or four girls, whose faces wear most melan-
choly cast; two elderly men, whom we sup
pose to be teachers, are standing up-one of
them holding what seems to be book, the
other one looking attentively at scene re-
presented in another part of the room.
The persons in this scene are four-a boy
is leaning or lying, with his breast on another
boys back and clasping him around the
neck. while his feet held by third boy.
A man is standing by holding large switch,
the act of striking the boy who occupies
the dsagreeable position just described.
This painting represents an ancient Ro-
man schoolroom. We learn from this picture
two historical facts-that boys and girls at
tended school together and that the switch
was an important item in school life IN those
olden times.
Children in ancient. Rome and in other
Italian cities began their school life when
they were seven years of age They learned
first-their letters, a! our children do and
In some schools, however, children were
taught to read by syllables. In writing they
followed copy which the teacher had placed
on waxen tablets.
They were taught arlthmeuc IN Two ways,
sometimes by using the fingers and making
signs with them, each finger representing
certain value or figure, or by the use of
contingencies and stones or small pebbles.
These counting tables were usually made Of
stone; sand was placed upon its surface, lines
were drawn in the sand, and in these lines
or little trenches the pebbles were put, one
row Of pebbles representing units, another
tens. another hundreds, and so on. By NOV
ing these pebbles from partition to partition,
addition and subtraction were taught, and by
those of another, they multiplied and divided.
A contrivance very similar to this one,
and called shwanpan, is now used in China:
Students of geometry drew Their. figures and
diagrams IN these contingencies covered
with dust.
The schools had one principal teacher, and
he generally had on assistant. Sometimes
this assistant was an old boy who had been
trained in the school, and who, after time,
Los Angeles herald., 1908-06-21

went forth and established school of his
own.
The teachers in those days must, from all
accounts, have been illtempered, for we learn
that they stormed at the pupils and whipped
them most numerically.
In these elementary. schools the subjects
taught were chiefly reading, writing and arith-
metic In schools of higher grade the pupils
studied the great Roman authors, Virgil being
the favorite, then Cicero and Aesop,, whose
fables delighted children m thessr~ days as
much as they do now.
Spelling and grammar rules were learned Of
ten from dictation, the Laws of the Twelve
Tables being used more than anything else
as the exercise.
The children of wealthy parents were first
taught at their home by tutors, who were
usually Greeks. Even when the boys began
to attend school their tutors would accom-
pany them and remain until school was dis
missed when they would take their young
charges home. Rich boys had also slaves,
who carried their bags containing the tablets
and other things used IN school. .ohoo,s
paid their tuition fees once month, while
the higher order of schools required payment
but once year-at the end of the session;
Students at the former class OF schools had
expensive and select schools seem to. have
continued through the year, the session be-
ginning in March.
All schools had holidays in December and
March-the December vacation lasting from
five to seven days, the March vacation five
DAYS. So you will see that the poorer boys
had a better time, as far as vacations were
concerned, than the sons of rich parents.
When boys became young men and their
fathers could afford the expense, they went
to Athens, Greece, or to Rhodes in order
to pursue their studies in rhetoric and phil
o oe ph These two cities might be called
the great university towns Of ancient days.
When young men returned from Greece,
they were considered prepared to take their
Rome Rome Nearly ali honors and preferments
Law. in those days, in life Of. politics, and
Young men entered the arena Of state affairs
with the determination to win the highest
Offices in their land. 80.
MANY of them realized their ambitious
dreams; others failed and sank into insig-
nificance. Then, as now, talents with indus
try won the day; talents, without industry,
Jagged in the rear.

is sometimes SO great as to hurl away or hold
boulders weighing thousand pounds; and
that it would be no more possible to cut
through such stream with a crowbar or an
axe, where it issued from the nozzle, than to
sever eight inches of solid iron with pen
knife
Perhaps there are people who regard that
as fish story, but there is an abundant verl-
fcation at hand.
Mr.. Louis Glass; for sixteen years superin-
tendent of the Spring Valley mine, has seen
an eightinch stream under three hundred
and eleven feet of vertical pressure move IN
a sluggish way a two-ton boulder at a dis
lance of twenty feet from the nozzle; and the
pounds would throw it as a man would throw
a twenty-pound weight.
"No man that ever lived" adds Mr.: Glass,
could strike bar through one of these
streams within twenty feet of discharge,
and human being struck by such a stream
would be killed-pounded into shapeless
mass"
Mr. A. j. Bowie the author of standard
book on hydraulic mining. estimates that the
stream from a six inch nozzle, under four
hundred and fifty feet of vertical pressure,
delivers blow of 58S, 735 foot pounds every
second-equivalent to 1910 horse power.
After an elaborate series of computations,
Professor Christy, of the University of Cali
fornia, calculates that if nozzle of from
six to nine inches diameter was especially ar
ranged to throw stream vertically upward
against a spherical boulder of quartz weigh
ing one thousand pounds, the vertical head
being anywhere from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty feet, the boulder would be
forced up until the diminished velocity of the
