have lately been interested in this country in
the mathematical feats Of juvenile prodigy at
Harvard, but the young Thomson must have
been an equal marvel in his day.
Born in 1924, he is found working on electrical
apparatus at the age of ten, and few months
later was natriculated with his brother James
in the University of Glasgow, where his father
held the professorship in mathematics. Before
he was eleven he had carried off two prizes in
the humanity class, and in May, 1886 had re-
ceived another prize for translating Lucian's
the first three dialogues. a year or SO later he
was a prize man in natural philosophy, and
a lad of sixteen gained the class prize in aStron-
omy and a university medal for essay on

The reading of childhood is n subject always
on the carpet nowadays, Discussed once more
in the columns of The London Times" it is de-
clared by that journal that to teach child to
read and nothing more is merely to do what
every farmer does when he prepares the soil for
cropping. If he stops there putting no good
seed into the ground, he knows that his only
reward will be an abundance of weeds. The
commentator continues as follows:
Hence the great thing is rs soon as children
have learned to read to teach them what is
worth reading and how to read it with under
s-2ndng. That is process which does not
end with the school nor even with childhood,
It is or it should be, cOcXtCnsive with life.
Every one who can read at all is sure TO want
TO read something, if only occasionally. He
may have little leisure, but it is all the more
important that he should that leisure well.
I-e is pretty sure to use it i'll if the pleasures
Of reading what is worth reading and of read
ing it with understanding, have never been
revealed to him.
These be the coUnSGlS Of common sense, but
the problem SO neatly put nevertheless bristies
with difficulty. The teacher quite as much as
the taught needs TO be set upon the right track.
The truth is that he needs to have a gift for
guiding the young. Much of the stuff that is
written for children, and much of the advice
that Is offered to them suggests the industrious
5ookmaker rather than the really sympa thetic
fricnd. Toe chief trouble as regards the advice
Is that it tries TO tell too much, to formulate
things where the crux Of the matter lies in the

and they ask that the new law be not
adopted or that if it be the intention
of the board to adopt it, that it first
be submitted to a vote of the people.
For months there has been. deter
mined controversy on between the
larger sheep owners and the hog and
cattle raisers over the question of a
dog law. The sheep owners, who
want the dogs put out of existence
for killing their sheep, are anxious to
have the new state law adopted by the
county authorities. This law not only
places tax of one dollar on all male
dogs and of three dollars on females
and provides for the wearing of col
lar with owners name on all dogs,
but it also provides that any citizen
may kill any dog found without such
a collar and license tag attached, and
that no action at law shall stand
against any such citizen.

LAND inquiry
Will BEGIN SOON
Members of House and Senate Com
mittees Will Assemble at Musko-
gee, OKLA, Today.
(By Union Associated Press.)

10y union Associated Press.)
Washington, Aug. 4.-Members OF
the house and senate committee ap.
pointed at the last session of congress
to investigate charges of fraud to
the sale of Indian lands made by Uni
ted States Senator Gore, of Oklahoma
against William McMurray, a McAllis
ter, Okla, attorney, will assemble al
Muskogee, Okla, today to begin their
work.
Senator Gore, the blind statesman,
whose charges of bribery, made dra-
matically in the senate, startled the
members, has promised to be present
and testify at the investigation. He
alleges that attempts were made to
corrupt him with sums ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000.
The senate committee to investi-
gate the affair consists of Jones, of
Washington; Burton, of Ohio: Craw-
ford of South Dakota; Percy of Mis-
slssippi, and Hughes of Colorado. The
house committee includes Campbell
OF Kansas; Burke of South Dakota;
Stevens of Texas; Miller of Minneso-
ia, and Saunders of Virginia.
The Gore charges relate to undue
influence to secure the McMurray
contracts for legal services for the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians. Had
the contracts been approved, McMur-
ray would have been paid about $3,-
100000. Former Senators Thurston
and Long are alleged to have been
working for the McMurray interests.
Thurston regards the contract as le-
gal. Senator Long has declined to
enter into discussion of the matter.

What Opponents Say

Among the leaders of the opposi-
tion is T. r. O'Neal of Perkinston, an
influential farmer and stock raiser,
who claims that he has given the sub
ject much thought and investigation.
The opposition holds that it is by
no means the universal desire of the
sheep men that the law be adopted,
but that on the contrary their petition
contains the names of seventy-five
sheep owners owning from so to 500
sheep; second, that the passage of the
law will not reduce the number of
dogs in the county, nor will it dispose
of the "niggers dog" nor the sports
dog" which it is claimed kill the
sheep, but that the "nigger" and the
sport" will pay the tax rather than
have their dogs killed. third, that all
the dogs caught killing sheep are
killed anyway and always will be,
whether the owners name is known
or not or whether the dog is taxed or
not; fourth, that the new law will be
a hardship and that the money paid
out by the people in the country on
their dogs will not come back to them
but will go TO the towns.

they use in herding their fiocks.

is to be 80 by 240 feet, for the grand

for board fence to surround the
