Toe Signature

Identification methods were given a new twist in a Chico, Cal, bank wLen q Hindu squat ted down on on the floor, ierked off his shoe &nd used the great toe of his right foot for stamping an impression on the deposit slip. The Hindu signatures all look alike to bank cashiers, who used the thumb imprints as an additional means Of Identification in cases where Gepositors hail from tue far east.
 The system could not be fol- lowed out in the instance noted above because the depositor's hands were tied up in banaages. Ae had been severely scaided in Hamilton while working around the vats of boiling water i'll the sugar factory. He insisted on putting his savings in the bank, but the cashier was at loss as to means of Identification In view of the fact that neither thumb was available, he solved the problem by directing the Hindu to take off his shoe.
 This operation complete, he handed the depositor the ink pad and the deposit slip. Put ting both feet on the floor he pressed the bottom of his toe on the ink and then transferred it to the paper, making Q very clear impression. The impress sion will hardly answer so well as the thumb imprint, but the says it will do so long us the custom does not Become general. In fact, the cashier expresses the belief that he could recog- nize the toe mark among @ thous- and.

Unconscious EIuGl0r

Mark Twain, as an example ot unconscious humor, used to quote a Hartford woman who said one day in the late spring:
 My husband is the dearest fellow. 'Jim,' 1 said to him this morning, are you very hard up jast now:'
 "I certainly am hard up, he replied soberly. This high cost of living is terrible. 1 don't know what I'm going to do.'
 "'Then, Jim, said l, I'll give up all thought of going to the country for July and August this year.
 "'But the dear fellows face changed, and he said
 "f Indeed, then, you won't, darling. I thought you wanted to buy q hat with an aigrette or some such foolishneSs. No, my darling-Jim can always find the money to let his dear little wife go to the country "

rooms, use of baths, parlors,
 pianos, etc. The dormitory also
 furnishes all necessary bed and table linen. An annual registra- tion fee of five dollars is charged to students who enter the regu- lar Normal courses or the aca- domic course. Pupils ia the Training school are not charged tbe registration fee. The cost of books is from eight 10 fifteen dollars per year, according to classification. Incidental ex- penses, including laundry, gym nusium, etc., depend largely rp- on the economy of inc student. Students who have completed .he eighth grade of the public school are admitted to the first year of the Normal course with out examination. Students who have completed Q four-years' high school course above the eighth grade are admitted to the junior class to pursue two years professional course. Cred its from c partial high school course are given on the Normal course in proportion to the amount of such work completed. Graduates from 0 four-years' high school course having pro- fessiOnal work to their credit may receive proportional credit on the two years professional course, but such students will be required to take at least one years work in the Normal be- fore graduating.
 The Pruning school admits pupils of all grades of the public school, but such pupils are not admitted 10 the dormitories cx- eept in special cases where the maturity of the pupil might be considered.
 Application for entrance should
 be accompanied by statement of former school work; and, if pos sible, grade cards, testimonials, diplomas, etc., should be fur nished. Prospective students will ind it greatly 10 their ad- vantage to enter the first of the term if possible.

Musical R9CkS

The Ringing Rocks" neGr Pottstown, Pa, have been viSit- ed the past few months by many eminent geologistS in ar effort to explain the peculiar properties which cause the rocks to give off musical sounds when struck. William c. Richardson writes Of them in the Technical World Magazine.
 "The largest of the stony gardens, as they are known To- cally, is at Nockamixon, Bucks county, where there are three fields of these rocks, all near the foot of Haycock mountain, G20 feet the sea level. The largest of the fields covers an area of a quarter of a mile long with an average width of 200 feet, while the other fields each cover about an acre and a quarter.
 ''The gardens are considered by some to have resulted from volcanic eruption in the far dlss tant ages which upturned these stoues of feldspar formation and left them heaped in weird, fam tastic forms, making most desc late looking patches amid the verdant fields; for, although SET rounded by heavy timber and cultivated farm land, not @ tree or shrub can be found within the gardens and no soil can be seen between the crevices of the great stones.
 "When struck by a hammer the rocks, as they lie in their beds, produce four distinct tones, running upward from middle D on the piano, but it remained for the late William J. Buck, for many years historian of Bucks county, to conceive of the idea of their possibilities as producers of melodp, and for Dr. J. J. Ott of Pleasant Valley to carry out the project. The latter selected number of rocks, some of them weighing oyer 200 pounds, which he carefully tuned by chipping until he had complete octave, from which he entertained friends by playing several familiar tunes, on one occasion being accompa- nied by a band. The clear, ring ing tones of the rocks could be plainly heard above the notes of the horns"

for the crime Of wnicE he was con

for which he was subsequently sen

TWO VIEWS OF ROOSEVELT.


The Springfield Republican says:
People who have lacked the true
measure Of Theodore Roosevelt vii,
begin to get IL now. His conduct To-
ward his friend, the President, is alone
enough to condemn him with eyers
just mind throughout the land. To-
satisfy this inordinate craving for rae
popular attention OF applause he Is
willing TO trample that friend under
foot and make his administration a
failure. The obvious ambitios Of Mr
Roosevelt to regain dictatoriaI power
in tie nation will receive sober notice
from the American people before #
has been gratifed. but meantime tn
character Of this people VIII prove to
be much different from what we cal
suppose it to be If this brutal treacb-
cry toward President TAFT does no.
stir up widespread feeling OF angrs
resentment.
The Buffalo Courier makes a com
paflson between VIM ]. Bryan ami
Roosevelt very much in the formev 8
favor. Il remarks that Bryan was d.
nounced BY the Republicans as a dan
gerous demagogue because he critj-
cises the supreme court OF the United
States and says:
IN 1896 William j. BRYAN criticised
the supreme court Of the United
States. He was denounced by the
Republican and independent press az
dangerous demagogIe. In 1910
Theodore Roosevelt denounced the su-
preme court of the United States. He
is assuredly a dangerous demagogue
Mr. Bryan possesses the virtue Of sia-
:erity. Mr.. Roosevelt is merely satiat-
ng his cravings for tie sensational.
Bryan was young and Jealous. Roose-
gelt is mature and calculating. He IS
not appealing TO reason. He is stir
ing the passions Of the mob.
