The Pleasures Of Ignorance.

A young English officer, equipped
scientifically for his task, has Just
gone around that big black spot on
the map, Lake Tchad, and also has
explored thoroughly the lake and it's
islands. He has added to human
knowledge. but he has not earned hu-
man gratitude, as he has planted
cold hard, and uninteresting fact
where a stimulating mystery so long
dwelt
Tchad for generations had a place
among the Great lakes, larger than
Erie but smaller than Huron, a mag
nificent expanse of water, hidden from
the white world by the great wilder
ness of Africa. The unfeeling Eng
lishman has cut it down from IA 1000
square miles to less than 1000, even
IN the rainy season and he says that
its average depth is not more than five
feet-in fact, that it is only q huge
swamp, far from pleasant to the eye.
Thus another illusion of middle aged
and elderly people takes wings.
Whenever new geogra phical fact is
ascertained, there is loud acclaim But
ought we to congratulate ourselves be-
cause>all the world is being mapped,
measured, classified and Strewed with
empty tin cans and old newspa pers
Now that Peary has been to the North
pole it is net nearly so Fascinating
a place as it used to be }. The English,
if they can reach the South pole, may
have it and he welcome to it. We
have taken the gilt off one pole and
that is enough for us.-New York

The Newer Education.

The relation of the larger universe
ties of the United States to the prac-
teal problems of existence is being en-
phasized in an astonishing way nova
days. If the notion of clustered halls
where pale-faced students pored over
musty tones once held sway, that idea
has entirely disappeared. The domi-
nant thought appears to be, how can
the training of the schools be made
most useful in lettering the conditions
of human life.
The university of Wisconsin. for
example, has been rendering great
service to the people of our neighbour
ing commonwealth through it's munich
pal reference bureau. Recognizing the
activity in the field of city admins
tration. it has collected information
from all available sources, and is now
ready to send out material on such
subjects as sewage disposal, water
supply and publication street sprink-
ling and cleaning, the smoke nuisance,
parks and Fairgrounds, care of trees,
the commission form of government,
public utilities and public service
rates, civic centers and art commits
sions. The statement that one morn
ing's mail brought inquiries from city
officials in, nine different common
weaIths indicates the Importance of
such university work.-Chicago Trib-

Geo. H. Dunbar's Beath-Jisposal of Court Cases
Death of Frederick E. Card, 43rd Birthday.

There is agitation in the Rhode Is
land general assembly over the propo-
sition presented by Senator Arnold of
Westerly for the finance committee to
increase the salary of the lieutenant
governor from $500 to $1,000, partially
for the reason that his present salary
is no more than is paid to clerks of
legislative committees, and that under
the amended constitution his duties
have been Increased Boss Brayton
is openly opposed to the increase but
would sanction a salary of $3.50, and in
a circular Mr.. Brayton quotes figures
to show salaries paid lieutenant gov
ernors and committee clerks in other
states, including Connecticut stating
that no more is paid legislative clerks
in Rhode Island than in Connecticut.
In Rhode Island clerks are appointed
by the committees, and are not mem
bers of the general assembly and are
paid officials. But in Connecticut the
committees select their clerks from
their own membership, and the only
salary the clerks receive is just the
same as other members of the legisla-
ture, $500, and mileage for biennial
sessions The clerkships are consider
ed positions of honor, almost parallel
to committee chairmanships, and are
without financial compensation.

With the addition of the Salvation
Army to the religious forces of West
erly, the army of the Lord has almost
complete representation in every
branch of the service. So there is a
reason for Westerly being elassed as
spotless town, where no-license pre-
walls and two days of the week are set
aside for divine worship, and where
there are perhaps more retired minis
tiers, according to population. than in
any other town in the universe.
