CHINA IS UNDERMINING
ITS WHOLE LANGUAGE
At Present the Language In Not Cal.
culated to Express Scien-
tific Terms

That the, Chinese are fully capable OF
comprehendinE the sciences and other more
practical branches OF learning as are
Americans has been the experience Of Prof.
Mortimer j. Brown. who is visiting at the
George @. Wallace home, $40 Charles
street, after two years of teaching chemis-
try in the Orient Mr.. Brown has been an
instructor In Chihli Provincial Industrial
college, located at Tien Tsin.
'"These young men understand the
sciences as readily as do the young men In
the American colleges" said Mr.. Brown
but they are hindered when they go to
put them in practice, by the nature of the
old Chinese learning, which was essen
TALLY a theoretical education and was ac-
quired for the pure Joy of acquiring 1t and
not with the idea Of putting it to practl-
cal USE"
The institution with which Mr.. Brown
has been connected is one of the many edu-
cational institutions which the Chinese
government has founded since boxer times.
The recent origin of the new education"
in China accounts for the fact that of the
$50 students in the school only about fifty
are doing work the equivalent of college
work in this country. The boys with whom
Mr.. Brown has worked are largely from
the families OF the well to do business
men of the empire. and are possibly a bit
above the average intelligence
The work in chemistry, which was Mr..
Browns subject, as well as in the other
sciences is done entirely In English. 1.-The
Chinese language Is an Geographic one, +"
Mr.. Brown explains, leach figure standing
for an idea, and for the ideas Of science
which have only come into China with the
new education" there are no suitable
characters. Thus 1t arises that all scien-
tific teaching must be done in English until
the Chinese modernize their language as
have the Japanese.
1.-THE Chinene government being an alb
solute monarchy. offers no protection to
private enterprise. On this account most
OF the boys who are educated in science at
Chill go into the government service"
Mr.. Brown graduated from the Univer-
sity of Nebraska in 1905 and after taking
two years and a half OF postgraduate work
at Cornell university contracted with the
Chinese government for two years Of work
there. Before leaving for the Orient he
was married to Miss Mary Beth Wallace,
whose parents the couple are now visiting
after returning TO this country by way OF
Siberia and Europe.

BURNED BY POWDER.

Frank Ritter is confined TO his
home as result of burns. He at
tended target practice of the Wausau
Sharpshooters' society Sunday and it
was at the park that the accident oc-
Cured. One of the society's mem
bers had been shooting with poor re-
suit, and it was thought that the
powder he was using was of poor
grade. He was advised TO dump it
out OF the can, and try another supply
which he did. Mr.. Ritter feared that
children might get hold of the powder
and injure themselves, so he touched
a match to it. There was fash and
he was seen to put his hands TO his
face. Other members of the society
soon gathered around him ano the
sight he presented was anything but
comforting one to them. The skin
on his nose and face was burned in
places so that it blistered and fell of,
and his moustache. eye brows and
hair were badly singed. GOcling To-
tions were temporarily applied until
he could visit physician.

BARREL EXPLODED.

A man, whose name we have been
unable TO learn, was injured yesterday
in peculiar way. He owns some
land in the lower section of the city,
which like all other land during this
dry spell requires irrigation. He pur-
chased whiskey barrel up town
which he intended filling with water
to let warm during the day and sprink-
ling his garden with the water at
night. Before he knocked in the head
he poured some hot water in the bung
hole to rinse it out the barrel, not
the bung hole.) Immediately there
was an explosion. One end was blown
out of the barrel and the man was
knocked senseless. O. NJ. Scott of this
city, was working on his farm close
by. He heard the explosion and went
to the mans assistance. The man
suffered no serious injuries but was
merely knocked OUT as pugilist
would put it. The cause of the explo-
sion was jagitis gas, which, when it
comes in contact with water, to which
it is most foreign, produces an explo-
sion like unto that produced by nitro
glycerine

Last week was commencement week
at the Wausau high school; while the
class of 1910, the largest class in the
history of that institution graduated.
Sixty-one young men and women re-
ceived diplomas Thursday evening.
Not only are they first in numbers
but they claim in quality as well.
There were an unusually large num-
Der that finished with an average
standing of over So. They kept up
the high school reputation by having
a contestant in the state defamation
contest, Miss Selma Pagenkopf, and
we think that the second best ora
tor in the state is included in the class
roll, for although Peter Zindel was
defeated in the district contest, the
man who beat him won the state
contest with less difficulty than he
won from Zindel.
The class has also made good
showing in athletics, for the majority
of the football and track team were
composed of seniors. The fastest
miller in The state, Marcus Hubbard,
is member of this class, while four
of the class of 1910 hold high school
records, Marcus Hubbard, James
Dean, William Lampert and M. Alex
ander.
The class motto is: 'Intrepride Eft
Constanter (fearlessly and perseyer-
ingly@ the colors are green and white;
the class flower, the lily of the valley,
and the class officers:
Pres.-Curtis Boyce.

PLEASANT EVENT.

The active members OF the Tues
day Musical club gave a seven-course
luncheon at the home of DIR. and
Mrs. ID. Il. Jones on Thursday after
noon at one o'clock, in honor of Miss
Catherine f. Strouse, who has been
the clubs popular president the past
year, and Miss Mildred Z. Moore, who
were about TO leave for their homes,
and not TO return to our city next
year. The home was handsomely dec
grated, the parlors in American
beauty roses and carnations and the
dining room in white sweet peas.
The place cards were very pretty and
artistic, having been done in water
colors by Roy BoyleS. who is visiting
here from Miles City, Montana. 1t
was an enjoyable event which will
long be remembered by those who
participated.

second highest average standing, de-
liyered the salutatorY. She called at
tention to the fact that the class of
1910 was an unusually good class, but
said that they had more advantages
than the previous classes. She showed
the increase and improvement of the
Wausau high school, contrasting the
present class with the classes of
twenty and thirty years ago. She re-
viewed the full courses of study that
the high school offers and to which
still another will be added next year
for the benefit of future classes. She
closed with prophesy of continued
growth and improvement of the Wau-
sau high school.
The high school orchestra which
furnished selections during the pro-
grams for both nights, included four
of the graduating class, viz: Curtis
Boyce, George Foster, Frank Nick
and Forest Wilterding, and owes its
success TO Miss StrOuSe, who In her
four years of untiring and patient
labor has built up truly wonderful
high school orchestra.
The fine work and pleasing choruses
of the groups is also due to Miss
Strouse, as well as the idea and the
selection of the most beautiful melo-
dies of each country. In this work
she was ably assisted by Miss Moore,
to whom all the very appropriate and
picturesque costuming was due.
The Indian scene was typical
aboriginal scene in America, and the
songs were full of the feeling which
is not always accorded to the red man.
The Scotch scene presented high
land view, and Miss Imogene Kriskey

THREW POISON
INTO The SNOW
Witness Saw DR.. Hyde Dis
pose Of Capsules. I
PORTION IS RECOVERED

Fragments Of Drug Picked Up and
Sent to Chicago, Where Chemists
Found Traces Of Poison in Them.
Jury Not to BE Informed That De-
fendant's Bond Has Been Declared
Cancelled.
Kansas City, April 29.-Thomas H.
Swope, Jr., told in the criminal court
how he found capsules which DR..
Hyde had thrown away on a street
and recognized the odor they emitted
as cyanide of potassium.
While working in Nevada mine,
said Mr.. Swope, he became we'll &C.
quainted with the poison and was posi-
tive he could not be mistaken about
the peculiar odor Of it. Cyanide, he
said, smelled like burned almonds.
DIR. Hyde was about 800 feet from
him when the capsules were thrown
away, said Mr.. Swope. The physician
stamped them into the snow after
dropping them, testified the witness.
In so far as Mr.. Swope knew, DR..
Hyde did not know his actions were
observed by anyone.
said Mr.. Swope, he made a second
visit to the point where he had seen
DR.. Hyde and they found fragments of
three capsules. All of the parts of the
capsules were sent to Chicago and
chemists announced they found traces
of cyanide in them.
Nurse Recognizes the Odor.
After smelling wet cyanide on the
hand of Hugo Brecklein, a druggist,
in the courtroom Miss LIE Van Mugs
said it was the same drug she smelled
on the hand of Mr.. Swope after he
had handled the capsules he picked
up in the street.
Judge Latshaw ordered that at all
times DR.. Hyde should be brought into
and removed from the courtroom out
of the presence of the jury in order
that the jurymen might not know he
is in the custody of the authorities.
The action of the court pleased Mrs.
Hyde. She smiled when the order
was given.
This order followed the revocation
of DR.. Hyde's 100000 bond by the
court and the defendant was remand
ed to the custody of the sheriff. In
making this order the court said:
I'm view OF the testimony thus far
given in this trial, the court is con-
strained to say that it amounts to a
presumption of guilt that under the
law deprives the defendant of the
right to go on bond"
