President Eliot of Harvard told the high
school pupils of Atlanta, Ga, that he intended
to spend his immediate future in the selection
Of enough books to fill 5-foot shelf the read
ing of which for ten minutes a day will give
any man liberal education. He had previous
ly announced that his library would be 8 feet
long, but has since extended it to 5. This col
lection is to be known the Harvard Library.
The annual fire loss in this country aggr e.
gates quarter of a billion annually, and yet
the American people view this loss without
concern except for spasmotic kicks when in
surance rates are thought to be too high. All
this loss is paid by insurers in the long run, and
every dishonest fire loss paid means that in
surance rates must be that much higher. 1t is
proposed now that the state should have fire
coroner who would adjust losses and order
payment withheld when it should be. The
proposition contains much of merit.
George T. Angel, the editor of "Our Dumb
the humane treatment of those who cannot
speak for themselves, died in Boston last week
at the advanced age of SO years. His life has
been devoted to the building up of the human
itarian movement, and besides the great work
in the founding and fostering of humane societ-
les to which he devoted his energies, he has
also edited and sent gratuitously his publica-
ton supporting his views. While Mr. Angel
was very often extreme i'll his views especially
on hunting for sport and in his opposition to

was nrOmnted nv his GREAT kindness of heart

GOOD ROAD SUGGESTIONS.

"To those who have given this matter much
thought it may seem impossible to drag the
roads of great state in three hours but it can
be done and is being demonstrated IN Jackson
township Hardin County Iowa If town
ship can drag it's roads in three hours another
can, and if two townships can, county can and
tif a county the state My method is to
employ farmers throughout the township to
drag the roads and in particular to employ
those who are most interested in good roads,,
says an enthusiastic Iowa faamer. eve put
them out on stations of equal distance near
as can be and direct the stations that the
one drags to meet, another all over the town
ship. Each one has telephone, and when the
roads are in condition to need dragging, [ call
them up and start them all out about the same
time and in three hours the roads of the town
ships are dragged complete. Each receives
from the township so cents per mile for dragg-
ing. I have followed this system for three
years and never failed but once or twice to drag
the roads of the township after every storm I
invite road superintendent who have not
systemized their road dragging to try this sys-
tenn and I believe they will find the result very
satisfactory. This article is written in the in
terest of good roads. After reading it, those
who coincide with my views might pass it
along by clipping it out and sending it to some
newspaper If the editor thinks it of any value
he will gladly publish it and appreciate you for
the item. Editors, and men of all occupations
should be interested in good roads, and ought
to be willing to boost little whenever they
can. Let every fellow who reads this take up
paper in the interest of road dragging, insist
that your roads be kept smooth IF your road
superintendent is Indifferent about it critcise
him severely. Tell him in black and white all
the things you thought of when riding over
some of his roads that shook your false teeth
out"

That Mr.. Roosevelt intends to be candi-
date again for the presidency is deduced from
casual remark made by him during reception
in his honor given by his Oyster Bay neigh
bers. He was approached by young colored
man who stated that he had carried Roosevelt
banner in two campaigns, aud hoped he would
have the honor of doing SO again Mr.. Roose-
welt said thine alone will tell whether you
are to be afforded that opportunity" The re-
mark has caused considerably speculation, but

The first test case on the Minnesota re-
ciproca demurrage law has been brought up in
St. Paul. Clarence C. Gray is suing the Mime
apolis & St. Louis railroad for Sc penalty and
800 in attorneys fees for six days delay in
shipment of car of corn from Belview to St.
Paul last October. The act passed in 1907
gives the shipper claim of ST a day on each
car for delay beyond the time allowance, and al
to recover reasonable attorneys fee if for
ced to sue. The railroad company is contest
ing the the ground that the law is un-
constitutional, being interference with in
terstate commerce. On this point the case will
probably be carried to the United States
preme court for final determination.
The country does not appear to be greatly
excited over the new tariff bill which is now
before congress and will be passed in two or
three months. AS matter of fact few of us
know anything about it except as to few pro-
r1inent schedues-no more than know
about the details of the present tariff law. That
no very radical changes are expected is shown
by the fact that the stock markets have re-
manned calm The proposed cut in steel has
caused a howl to go up from the steel interests
that wages will have to be reduced account
of competition with the "pauper labor of
Europe" With the total labor cost of ton of
steel less than the tariff steel, it is difficult
to see where there is any merit in the old
chestnut.

BUSY DAYS PASS
AT CITY SCHOOLS

The classes in physics have been
making some very interesting expert
ments lately. Last week the beau
tiful manometric flames were de-
veloped. Acetylene gas was produc-
ed from an automobile lamp furnish
ed by Frank Lumsden. The gas is
passed into a cylinder, which is di-
vided into halves by a thin rubber
membrane, then passes out through
a small delivery tube. This gives Il
small flame about one-half an inch
high. The other half of the cylinder
is connected with funnel by a short,
but large tube. When the human
voice is sent down this tube the vi
brations cause the same number of
vibrations in the gas jet, which can
not be seen with the naked eye, but
if cubical mirror is rapidly revolved
before the gas jet the separate tong
ues of flame may be seen.
