IMPROVED FORM OF INCUBATOR.
Operated by Electricity, Better Re-
suits Are Secured.

An electric incubator has been In
lroduced in Europe, the operation OF
which Is said to be attended by surer
results than other methods. for the
reason that 1t is capable of finer ad-
Iustment as far as heating and ventlla-
Ion are concerned. One Of the most
iifficult features Of artificial poultry
breeding is proper supply of fresh
air. In the electrical incubator air Is
supplied from underneath, the enter
ng fresh air coming in contact with
the eggs after being properly preheat-
ed by special radiators. This ventila-
ton is controlled by opening 20 vari-
able extent the lateral slides fixed at
the top Of the apparatus. 1t should be
remembered that ventilation plays the
role Of maintaining the life Of the
germ. While an ample supply OF fresh
air, therefore, is extremely valuable
for the development of the germ. any
excess of ventilation will prove detri-
mental in fact, the surplus air will
exert a drying action on the consenrs
of the eggs. In this incubator the
matter of ventilation and heating Is
looked after automatically.

Rev. H. w. Porter interviewed Pres
dent O. H. Longwell of the Highland
Park College, on the recent color line
drawn in that institution, and the only
reason that was given for the action
was that he President Longwell wanted
to relieve the Negro student of the
embarrassment which he had noted
from time to time, and that a few
southern whites objected to being in
an institution with Negroes. Rev.
Porter made a plea for the worthy
young men and young women who
were struggling againt the closed doors
and endeavoring to show to President
Longwell if he and other representative
men did not aid the Negro in his en-
endeavor to rise, to what source must
he turn. President Longwell admitted
that he had never once thought Of the
very great injury his actions would do
the Negro, and he said that the matter
would be reconsidered. Rev Porter
though modest in his actions is doing
much to aid the young men and wo-
men of their race in procuring their
right.

HAVE SURPLUS OF FURNITURE.
Writer Cri.icises Modern Methods Of
House Adornmcnt.

Most people have far too much fur
niture in their houses, and certainly
the majority indulge In too much tex
tile fabric. Too many curtains, too
many antimacassars. too many mats
and cushions, says a writer in Good
Health. All these things collect and
hold dust, and curtains shut out fresh
air and sunshine. Carpets, especially
in the rooms we sleep in, | would
abolish.
The bedroom carpet is a snare, and
the sooner it makes its final exit the
better for the family health. That
great artist and critic, William Nor
ris, once said: Have nothing in your
house that you do not know to be USE
full or believe to be beautiful. This
is counsel many women might take to
heart, thereby making their homes
more beautiful and undoubtedly far
easier to keep clean and orderly"

Highland Park College Closed
Against Negro.

It was rumored to us last week
and confirmed this week that
Highland Park Normal College
of this city has refused to admit
Colored students this fall to the
college. Prof. H. o Lougwell
stated that as they draw a large
number of their students from
the south, these students objec-
ted to go with Colored students
and they lost those southern
students. The young Cclored
man who applied was Archie
Alexander, the son of Price Alex
ander of Highland Park, who is
one of our choice young men a
graduate of the DeS Moines High
school and had entered Highland
Park College last year in the en-
gineers department and would
have been sophmore this year.
We are indeed surprised at the
College action. 1t is perfectly
outrageous to have allowed the
young man to have spent one
year there, and then cut him OFT
without reason. We have
nothing but condemnation for
such a so-called College and even
less respect for such so.called
president that would for a mo-
ment think of such a thing in
Iowa, this school ought to be boy
cotted by the educated of the en-
tire north. 1t is a blot upon our
state a sham to civilization and
outrage upon education, the very
idea of closing the door of hope
the door of liberal education, the
door of equal opportunity to a
boy, because of color is redicn-
lious, and the utopian spirit of
modern times should laugh this
spirit into shame.

How Coal Grows,

1t takes prodigious amount of vege-
table matter to form layer Of coal, it
being estimated that the present
growth of the world would make lay
er less than ore-eighth of an inch in
thickness, and that it would take a
million years of vegetable growths to
form a coal-bed ten feet in thickness.
The United States has an area Of
more than 100000 square miles Of
coal-felds, and more than 100.000,00O
tons of coal were mined in this coun-
try last year-enough to run ring
around the earth at the center 51a feet
wide and 51A feet thick. Competent
scientists say that there is enough
coal in the United States to supply the
world for the next 2.0"o years.
