The Birth of Reform SehooIs

The first reform school for juvenile
delinquents was probably the one or
gained at Metray. near Louvre,
France, about the year 1899 by NJ. de
Tetz, a noted councillor of Paris. NJ.
de Tetz found in some wealthy noble
men the financial assistance ne needed
to materialize his idea. and the school
was started with the most beneficent
results. The idea was taken hold OF
IN other quarters not only Of France.
but Of other continental countries, and
the enthusiasm created by the work
resulted In the grand conference Of
the reformatory union" the real be-
ginning Of our present day work in
behalf Of juvenile delinquents.-New

The Importance of Iron to the EIec-

The Importance of Iron to the EIec-
tricaI Industry.
The very root of the electrical indus
try is iron. Without iron it is doubt
full if the larger generators and the
mighty motors could be built, for the
powerful magnets upon which these
inventions depend for their power are
all made Of soft iron either in the
form of thin plates Or long wires COW
cred with insulation.
Nearly every one is familiar with
the common horseshoe magnet, which
is but a piece of steel bent in the
shape of a horseshoe and charged with
shape is rubbed against another mag
net it is charged" and will remain so
for long time. The magnets used in
electrical machinery are Of the Undue
ton type-that is, the magnetism van
ishes just as soon as the current is
taken away from them. If you wind
a long insulated wire tightly around a
soft iron core and send through this
wire weak current Of electricity the
core will be instantly possessed of
strong magnetic qualities. This fact
is the basis Of all electric motors and
generators. The field coils are usually
made of a soft iron core wound with
yards and yards Of insulated wire.
When the current is sent through this
wire the soft iron core is turned into a
powerful magnet. and this magnetic
power is used to drive motors or to
generate more Observation-Disclosures

THE TONGUE.
Il Appears That This Organ Can 30
ELOQUENT Even When Silent

From the observations made by q
physiognomist it appears that the
tongue when quite still can be as elo-
Quent in giving its owner away as
when it is wagging sixteen to the
dozen. This is a hard fact for silent
man to sWallOw-in silence. His only
remedy is to keep we'll so as to obviate
the necessary injunction Of the doctor
TO put his tongue out. for by this
thrust out sign the doctor shall know
him.
The tongue of the talker when OBJ
truded fnclines to the right side of the
mouth. we are asked to believe. where
as the seldom used tongue gravitates
to the left side. Orators. preachers
and barristers are endowed with right
sided tongues. Verbally parsimonous
persons have left sided tongues.
Furthermore, 1.-The tongue that
shoots out straight without turning or
wavering indicates a solid, reliable
man of affairs" Tongues that turn
up indicate impractical natures. A
downward. dropping tongue belongs
to person born to poverty and
ready eye for the hopeless side of
things.
The cruel tongue fattens and broad
ems when extended. The delicate
speaking organ with curled up edges is
the property of an imaginative and
artistic being When the tongue is
sues forth as if gripped in dental
wise it signifies a love Of life more
than ordinary.
Finally we are warned that the in
dividual who thrusts forth his tongue
to its EXTREMIST verge is a person to
whom no secret should ever be con-
fded, for he is an irresponsible chat

peal Of impossible statutes, says
writer in an eastern contemporary

many Of them) are disregarded ano

itself in repeal instead OF increase. ~

wholesale manufacture Of new ones

mon propriety shall circulate in the
body polite" ~
There is good, sound sense in this
view. There has been evidence OF 9
growing tendency among law makers
to try legislation as general cure-ali'
The aim Of state legislatures in recent
wears seems to have been to make
records for the number Of new meas
eares enacted, without always consider
ing the need OF such legislation. Freak
bills OF every description have been
introduced in the legislatures, prompt
ed by desire for notoriety and by a
mistaken idea on the part Of many leg

tivity, no matter in what direction, or
their constituencies would think they
were not on the job.

turer, who was sent to Moline TO ap-
praise the plant of the Moline Pump
company, now negotiating with "
tumwa with a view to moving mere,
makes a report which is gratifying TO
the Ottumwa boosters. Mr.. Hunt was
sent to look over the Moline compa7 VS.
plant because of his expert knowledge
He declares that the plant will make
valuable addition to OttumWas IN
dustries. He found the machinery 1t
fuses for manufacturing to be- the pest
and the product q staple with Wlde
market and one that needs only TO pc
made to be sold. He declares ina!
there is no reason why the firm should
not pay out 100000 in wages IN the
first two years instead OF the seven
years allotted in the contract, before
the deed to the Ottumwa property IS
to be turned over to the company.
Cheered by this report the Com
mercial association boosters have -
cided to make an effort to close up
the deal at once and call hal been
issued for an open meeting tonight al
the Commercial association rooms
The great part Of the fund Ottumwa
pledged itself to raise has been Sc.
cured. The remainder of this fund
should be raised at once. This can
not be done without some effort, but
every citizen who has the welfare OF
the city at heart should make tnls Ell
fort. It will require no effort TO re.
main away from the meeting tonlgn'
and it will require some effort 70 al
tend. -.
The Moline firm Is ready to ship its
machinery to Ottumwa at days no
tice. If the pump factory campaign
lis closed up tonight the firm is IN readi
ness to ship carload Of machinery
ia Ottumwa tomorrow and store 1t IN
temporary quarters until the new
building can be pushed to complexion
The Ottumwa boosters have assuT'
ances Of immediate returns from TINS
campaign. The Moline firm Is ready
to move to Ottumwa and begin the
operation Of its plant here at the
earliest moment. The interurban
campaign is practically closed, but It
will be some time before, actual re
turns from this campaign are IN eVf
dence. The factory proposition IS one
whose benefits will be felt by OttumWa
at once. A big institution empioylne
skilled labor that will increase "
tumwa's pay roll is ready to come TO
the city as soon as the factory cam

Let everybody who has the interest
Of the city at heart attend tonlgnts
