A WARSHIP'S RAM.

The Huge Steel Beak Is Capable Of In
ficting Terrible Injury.
A modern ram is nothing more than
a huge steel beak, or sput, which is
fitted to the prov Of the battleship for
the purpose of destroying an enemy's
ship in time Of war by the force of
collision. Indeed, should a vessel sue
coed in driving her ram against an
other warship the blow, If delivered
at full speed, would be sufficient to
crush In the ships side and sink her
Immediately
A battlesbip's ram weighs about for
ty tons and is cast all in one piece

a man-of-war may be made, but the
skill Of the naval architect is unequal

san resist the ram.
Great care must be exercised in fix
ing such heavy piece of steel. The
method generally adopted is as fol

Hama to Hand Conflicts.

Hama to Hand Conflicts.
In the japanese military school
where | saw a Spartan system of edu-
cation. the exercises of the cadets with
pixies, rifles and broadswords were noi
approached by anything of the kind
that | had witnessed in Europe. II
was fighting of the fiercest character.
At the end of the struggle there was
hand to hand combat, which lasted
until the victors stood triumphant over
the bodies of the vanquished and tore
off their masks.
IN these exercises. which were very
severe, the cadets struck one another
tiercely and with wild cries. but the
moment prearranged signal was Civ
en- or the fight came TO an end the
combatants drew themselves up in 6
line, and their faces assumed an ex-
preston of wooden composure.
In all the public schools prominence
was given to military exercises. and
the scholars took part in them with
enthusiasm. Even in their walks they
practiced running, fanking and sud
den, unexpected attacks.
The history Of Japan was every
where made a means Of Strengthening
the pupils patriotism and their belief
in Japan's invincibility. Particular
stress was laid upon the country's sue
cessful wars, the heroes Of them were
extolled. and the children were taught
that none Of Japans military enter
prises had failed.-McClures Maya

NEW DEPARTMENT
 OF MESA HIGH SCHOOL
Exceptional Opportunities Offered for
 Agricultural Cause.

Superintendent of Schools H. Q. Robertson is in receipt of letter from Prof. R. w CIothier of the Tue son university saying that it may be within the power of the university to send to Mesa Professor Fowler, the eminent professor of agriculture at the university. Professor Fowler is a man well known in his branch of study and holds the degree of NJ s. from the Kausas. university --
 Such proposition offers uneXcep- tionaI advantages to the people of Mesa Not to the students alone. but to the farmer. the farm hand, or the clerk who would know more of the important features of farm or ranch life. These agricultural courses gen orally comprise the topics of dairying. stock judging and practical horticul- ture. The textbooks are furnished free and the professor comes without any expense to the school district or students. The lectures are open to anyone who chooses to take them and are intensely interesting even to the laymen.
 No other high school in the territory has such advantages offered. and it is to be hoped that this will culminate in something of benefit to this com munity. There is dire need of such courses even to practical farmers. just as the modern cooking school of today teaches the science of many of the things our grandmothers barely. thought of, so does this particular branch teach the farmers and ranch CTS, as well as the dairymen some of the more important scientific features of their own work.
 Already there has been some talk among those interested in the course and it promises to develop along big ger lines than at first anticipated. Of course this has been offered through the efforts of the school board to i'm prove the systems and courses offered in the school The board is always watching for what improvement it can make, and has had this idea in mind Tor long time. That it is so near within the reach of them is a fact that Is causing a feeling of satisfaction. not only to them but to those who have been interested in the develop ment of the schools of the city.
 But not only is it a benefit to the school system and the students. but to the whole of Mesa and vicinity it appeals There is no country around this portion of the territory that is so htted for such experiments. and there Is no people so ready and willing to adopt. the newer ideas which will help to improve them. The topic is causing much favorable comment. and more is invited. If you are interested. call in and see Superintendent Robert son or Attorney George Silverthorne and help the good cause along.

CANDID (cANpIEp) NETS

Phil Nets is the most popular man in town, with the ladies at least, and it all comes from an investment of less than two dollars. It seems that some time ago Phil invested in some tiny slips of pasteboard entitling him to nine pounds of the best and sweet est candy in NJ. P. Holladay's stock. Yesterday he got the sweets and today all the girls ara smiling at him. Not but that they generally do anyway, but at the present time there is more reason to do so. And Phil. with the preversity of his sex, promised about twenty of them pound of candy each and now they are wondering if only nine of them are to be made happy or if Phil will do the generous thing and buy some more.
