Construction Work and ExeeIs

St Petersburg. April e.-Having been
bafied by senate ruling in their recent

by a young Russian woman, Mile. Ban
durin. as superintendent Of a big engf-
neering enterprise.

number of mechanics. who. she says,
after their first surprise, got on famously
with her.

BOYS GO WITH AGE
School Inspector Speaks Of

GENTLER, BUT TAKE NO PAINS
Board School Children Cry and Re-

dren Generally Better Disposed
and Behaved-Rush for New Ideas.

London. April corporal punishment
for the workingman's child in the schools
OF this country has almost died out
The mother of the small boy who is
punished in this old fashioned manner
either proseeutes the teacher for assault
or gets back at him with vituperation
and sometimes violence. The result is
that the board school teacher is afraid
to use the cane
Children of Rich Birched as of Yore
At Elton and Harrow, and all the big

ing or Gaming in the time honored fash
ion. An inspector of the London Do
cesar Church schools, the Rev. Bernard
Reynolds, says in his annual report thai
the modern child does not take punish
ment with fortitude.
Many teachers" he says, have no.
ticed that the children will not take re-
proof or punishment. II is out of their
minds why they should suffer or bear
pain; boys cry and talk about It instead
Of taking their punishment in a manly
way as they used to take it. In fact.
the want of grit in children is a fact
which demands serious attention"
Soil Growing Fruitful, if Shallow.
Mr.. Reynolds does not actually say that
the modern sparing of the rod is re-
sDonsible for this, but advocates of the
argumentum ad baculum will have their
own idea of why his report has to refer
TO the increasing difficulty n getting
children to take pains" noticed by many
teachers.
For the rest Mr.. Reynolds finds that
modern children are better disposed and
more receptive of influences that are
not annoying It IS rarer than formerly
that We have 10 complain of bad behavior
or even Of Indifference. There is more
adaptability to higher ideas and a wide
range. The soil is more fruitful, though
shallower. There is more reverence
shown-the best are decidedly better
and the worse, less decidedly. are worse.
The Rush of New Ideas.
The reason for these noticeable
changes are first of all the altered en-
virOnment The rush of new ideas and
inventions makes the wide-awake child
eXpective; its mind is accustomed to Won
ders and expects them; fairy tales are
becoming a commonplace of life IN
veutions that would have appalled, our
grandfathers are received as ordinary
events by the child-he would not be
in the least surprised if communication
were established with the moon. Dis
fractions have settled down into normal
conditions. Novelty has become normal
instead Of volcanic. as it used to be-"
Mr.. Reynolds sums up the matter thus:
The child mind is certainly different
from what it was even five years ago.
but the change has signs OF hope and
promise if only the child has righteous
| ness put prominently before it, other
wise there is chaos in front"

London. April 2-Ful accounts of the
discovery of relics Of Buddah, in the
shape OF charred bones, near Peshawar
were printed not long ago. Only this
week the yicerOy of India, Lord Mimic
handed over these most sacred relic;
70 the keeping Of the Burmese Bud
dhIsts. Almost at the same time come:
word OF the discovery Of further Buddhs
relics at Mirpur Khas, about forty mile;
east OF Haidarabad.
A series OF mounds. supposed to be tht
remains of a buried town, attracted the
attention Of H. Cousens, superintendent
Of archaeology. Bombay. He came TO the
belief that they were the remains Of
Buddhist monasteries and that the larg-
est mound would possibly conceal re-
mains of a shrine or stupa erected over
some sacred relic.
Excavating this mound, he unearthed
two large and well nodded terra Gotta
images Of Buddha. The decorated wall
in which they were set measured fifty
feet, and proved to be one side Of a
square pediment or base of a stupa. and
in the center Of the stupa a we'll was
found some twenty-five feet in depth
and ten feet in diameter. Beneath d
brick slab therein was found chamber
fifteen inches square by one foot deep,
containing a rough stone Golfer in two
pieces and two little earthen pots choked
with sand.
A Few Specks of Dust.
Within the heavy stone casket was a
small crystal bottle some three inches
high. half encased in silver and thick
with verdigris. Within the bottle was
an even smaller silver casket wrapped
in gold leaf and embedded in dust Of q
peculiar brown color
It was only a bare inch and half in
length, but within lay yet another cyl
inder Of gold.
a little gold cup lifted out was found
TO contain only a few specks Of dust and
a fragment of clear stone. The dark
brown dust proved under the microscope
70 be burnt human ash, and it is con-
jectured that this is the real relic-that
as there was too much TO place in the
gold cylinder, it was packed around it.
Fourth Century, A. ID.
Mr.. Cousens attributes the date of the
stupa tentatively to the fourth century
A. d. Hieum Tsang. the great Chinese
traveller, who visited India when Bud
dhism was fiourishing IN the north, re-
cords that after the cremation of eau
tama, the ashes were divided into nine
portions and distributed among nine
sects of disciples in various parts of
India.
The discovery of two Of these carefully
preserved relics Of the Lord Buddha
within less than twelve months is a re-
markable evidence of the value of the
work Of the archaeological department
in India since its enlargement and re
constitution by Lord Curzon.

CITY TAKES A DAY CENSUS.
Financial Section of London Inhab-
tied by JanitOrs.

London. April Like the Wall street
district in New York. the city, as the
financial quarter OF London is called is
a very lively and populous place in the
daytime. but at night It is deserted, ex-
cent by janitors and their families. The
Corporation Of the City Of London is be-
coming curious about the number Of in
habitants the historic square mile con-
tains. ard It is about TO take a day census.
The ordinary census applies to the
sleeping residents, but the real life and
activity OF the city are measured by its
day population and not by its permanent
population of janitors and their offspring.
The resident population of the city has
been declining for years. The last esti-
mate was that it didn't exceed 1900 or
10000
It is supposed the new census Of the
day population-the census Of the mer-
chants. brokers, bankers, and their
swarms OF clerks-will disclose a popu-
lation of at least 5O00o0-the equivalent.
say, of perhaps twenty Of New York s
skyscrapers.

AMERICANS TO FORM CLUB.
New Venture in London Started by
University Men.


London, April MANY efforts have been
made in many years to form and main
tain a distinctive American club in Lon
don. All have failed. The Pilgrims So
ciety and the American Society have
nourished for years. but they are not
clubs in the American sense. They are
dining clubs with benevolent and patriotic
objects.
The latest venture in club life is the
American Universities Club. which was
opened on March q. It has been invited
to share the premises and the prestige
OF the New oxford and Cambridge Club in
Pail Mall Mr.. Roosevelt, it is stated,
has expressed interest in the new club,
and Lord Strathcorta and Lord Brassey
are giving it their patronage,
Americans resident in London, engaged
in trade and the professions, so quickly
find an English club to suit them that
the need of a pan-American club never
has been felt. The new venture will be
watched with interest.
