EUCLID UNDER BAN OF
EDUCATORS IN LONDON
Attempts to Define a Straight
Line Called Waste of Time

For some years past the public
schools have been steadily disestab-
fishing Euclid and substituting some
modern form OF geometry in his place,
and now the last blow has come from
the body known as the education de-
partment 1t has issued a circular in
which it makes a number of very
doubtful statements, such as that all
attempts to define a straight line are
waste of time, and that to commence
need no proof is safe way to make
boys think that the whole subject is
artificial and unreal.
The department can have had very
little experience with boys. or it would
know that there is a vast difference
between fact ana what schoolboyS be-
lieve The statement that all attempts
at definition are waste of time is SIM
ply grotesque. We hear great deal
about scientific methods of education,
but surely a good definition, whether it
be of q straight line or of anything
else, is the very foundation of scientific
training.
Anything more perfunctory and slip
shod than commencing any study with
out clearly defining its groundwork it
is impossible to conceive. At the same
time schoolboys have little to rejoice
at. for the modern books on geometry
are not much easier than Euclid, and
the duffer who can not understand one
will be equally unable to make head
or tail Of the other But if the de-
without definitions the nation will have
even less return for all the money
spent on so called education than it
has at present.-London Globe.

TO TAX FOREIGNERS AT
FRENCH HEALTH RESORTS
Devises New Form of MuIcting
Passing Visitors

All over Europe finance ministers
seem to be wandering about looking
for some one out of whom they can
squeeze an extra pound or two, and
abroad they prefer to make the for
eigner pay. In France, for example, a
new tax has just been imposed on all
visitors 20 watering places or health
land. An extra impost is for the future
10 be IMPOSED on all those visitors who
are not permanently resident in the
place. or who have not bought villas
there.
Residents and proprietors of villas
are already sufficiently taxed, and there
is not much more TO be got out of
them. But passing visitors are on a
different footing, and hitherto they
have escaped being mulcted, at least
directly, by the authorities. Now, how
ever, they are TO be taxed, and hotel
proprietors and lodging house keepers
have got TO collect the money, which
is not likely to endear them to their
patrons. The money is TO be spent on
Improving and embellishing the town,
which is a very excellent way of do
ing It,
Here IN England the improvements <
of q watering place are paid for by
are hotel or boarding house keepers,
have TO get the money indirectly out
of their guests. In France they prefer
direct brigandage in this matter. and
at least il is an honester form of pill
lage. But there will come a point at
which the traveller will be taxed out of
eyistence.-LondOn Globe.

RUSSIAN" ,CAVIARE MADE
FROM AMERICAN ROE
Information That May Interest
Our EPicures

Persons with epicurean tastes will be
interested to know that the production
of real Russian" caviare is likely to
be resumed at Philadelphia and other
POINTS along the Delaware river. 1t
may come as a shock to some OF them
TO learn that the caViare sandwiches
for which they have paid swollen prices
in American restaurants originated as
TO their central ingredient in streams
and lakes in this country where stur-
geon do most abound. The fact is not
unknown, however. Nor could it be when
il is recalled that the industry has been
rather extensive IN this country.
In several of the western states a
business is made of catching the stur-
geon, extracting the roe and shipping
Il to Russia. where It is treated and
imported to the United States ready for
the table. For many years this indus
try thrived at SandUSky. O.. the Lake
Erie sturgeon having been supplied in
thousands for the purpose. Up to 1880
the Delaware river furnished large
quantities of sturgeon roe for eXporta-
ton But the fishermen virtually eX-
terminated this species of fish in their
greed. and q Delaware river sturgeon
eight or 10 feet in length is now said
to be worth from 800 to $500 How
ever, a means has been found to restock
that river, and the industry VIII prob
ably be revived.
The question arises, why the Amer
ican people should be imposed on by
a so-called imported article OK diet at
double cost. American skill and en-
terpriSe ought to be equal to purVeYing
caviare which Will surpass that which
comes from Russia. Doubtless this
would be accepted as fact were it not
for the person of jaded appetite who
labors under the curious and perverted
notion that his special dishes must be
prepared by foreign masters of the art
culinary.-Pittspurg Post.

SHOULD AUTO SPEED
LAW APPLY TO DOCTORS =?
English Journal Believes Medi=
cos Should Not Be Fettered

Should doctors in cases of emergency
be allowed to exceed the speed limit?
The question is one says the Throne
and Country, an English publication
that would be answered by most peo-
pie in the Affirmative. Now there IS
at the present time a movement In a
certain quarter that is being directed
toward the speed limit being waived in
the case of medical men under cer-
tain circumstances. The idea is that
when doctor receives an urgent call.
provided he exhibits a red cross, he
should not be fettered in the course OF
his journey except for ordinary cour-

MORSf'S WIFE LAYS
DOWNFALL TO PLOT
Persons High in Power Accused
of Taking Vows to Ruin
Former Banker

NEW YORK, May 22.-Mrs. Clemen-
tine Morse, wife of Charles W. Morse,
the former banker, said today that long
ago persons high in power vowed that
they would ruin her husband, and that
they had kept their vow against JUS
tice and truth.
Mrs. Morse said that government Of
f1cials had boasted also that they would
cause Morse's downfall, but she did
not then believe that the courts could
be used as a party to the plans of her
husbands enemies.
How many people know that my
husband has paid every dollar owed
to every depositor in the Bank of
North American" she asked, adding:
"Of an Indebtedness of $1,000, 000,
more than $4,000 900 has been paid,
and if Mr.. Morse had his liberty he
would not owe any one today. 1t is
incredible to me that a court can be
used to destroy mans property and
his family made to suffer"
Mrs. Morse said she had sold her
jewelry gladly to pay the claims
against her husband, and one claim
against her which was absolute black
mail, but which was paid to avoid no
toriety. Practically all of the furnish
ings of the handsome home in Fifth
avenue, Mrs. Morse said. had been sold
for the benefit of creditors and the
house was about to be sold over her
head.

BEAUTIFUL MODEL
OF GREEK TEMPLE
Work of Art Constructed at the
San Jose State Normal
School
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SAN JOSE, May 22.-The study of
the classic has recently taken new
and interesting form at the state
normal school, where, under the d1-
rection of the art teacher, Miss Cal
thea Vivian, miniature restoration
of the Greek temple. the Parthenon,
has been produced. The model, with
the exception of the statue of Minerva
and the pediments, is of white poplar.
1t is one-fiftieth of the original. AS
far as known it is the only Parthenon
miniature of wood in existence, the
one in the Metropolitan museum of
New York being of plaster The main
part OF the woodwork was done by
Earl Barker, student of manual train
ing.
Miss Vivian has conceived of two
effects which she has worked out IN
plaster. She has modelled the Greek
goddess, Minerva, to whom the Par
thenon was dedicated. This she made
after the Varvakeon Minerva, itself
a copy made in brass by an unknown
Roman artist. Miss Vivian's Minerva
is one-fiftieth of the Phidian produc-
tion, which was thirty eight feet high
On the pediments have been restored
a a-number of the figures of the original.
These were taken from the pencil
sketches made by Jaques Currey in
1874. u years after the explosion which
destroyed the original temple. Very
difficult was the work OF modelling the
Doric columns, as an attempt was
made to give them the individuality of
curve and position of the original.
The medapes and friezes were
- . II
those spaces on the pediments where
no trace is now left of what was on
the original, Miss Vivian has made the
suggestion of possible figures.
The work on the temple has been
going on since last September and
has been pursued with extreme care
till it's completion last week. The
miniature has been mounted upon a
pedestal, and will be forwarded to Sc
attic, where it will be a part of the
San Jose normal school exhibit at the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition.

VERY FEW ARE
HOPELESSLY DEAF

AS a matter of fact ninety per

can be made to hear and to hear
clearly. by the use of the ACQUISITION.
The usual instruments are clumsy and
inefficient. The reverse is the case
with this remarkable little electric de-
vice 1t is worn as a part of the dress
and is very inconspicuous, the hands
being left entirely free.
The ACQUISITION gathers all sound.

1t is gratifying to be able to state
that in many instances continued use
of the ACQUISITION has so benefited the
working parts of the ear that in time
the natural hearing has been restored,
and in all cases there Is very marked
Improvement Think of the many
everyday pleasures denied to the deaf,
all of which may be enjoyed by the
possessor of an ACQUISITION. To the
deaf business man its value is lncalcu-

it you can hear. Call and make trial,
