An Excellent Term OF School

The present term in the grade
school has been one of the best for
wears. There has been less fric-
ton and complaint than for many
years past. Mr.. Uuger has in
troduced some new work which will
be better appreciated us our pat
rons become more familiar with it
and as it is developed more fully.
Training the hands as well rs the
brain is profitable in more ways
than appear at first view. The
boy or girl who is busy learning
something useful is not only kept
from idle and harmful habits for
the time but is building character
in the right way. An examina-
tiOn of the written work in Mrs.
Unger's room displays great
deal of interesting work and a
healthy advancement of her grade.
In the lower rooms there has been
Il rivalry between both the pupils
and patrons as to which had the
better teacher. both claiming that
distinction for their teacher
though there is no rivalry between
the teachers themselves who are
very warm friends and who will
spend a great part of the vacation
together visiting California.
Every patron who has not already
visited the lower rooms should
not fail to do SO tn, coming year
in order to see the difference be-
tween the new and the old way.
One lady who is in Il position to
know says that the work done in
the schools here campares very fa-
vorably with the work done in the
schools of Chicago.

At the close of the war with
Japan 1S94-1S95 China found her
self badly whipped, then came the
open talk of dividing China. In
this dark hour the throne natural
ly turned to the old leaders for
help but none could be found.
The yong emperor then turned to
Westerners for advice. The re-
suit of this was that Timothy
Richards was chosen adviser to
the throne. The yonng emperor
himself began to read books on re-
form and it is said he bought one
hundred twenty books at one time.
He gathered young men with
progressive ideas some that had
travelled abroad. These are some
of the things that the emperor
wanted to effect.

clansmen to study Europeon and

The dynamo is q machine used
for gene rating = current of cleo
tricity by the rotation of coils of
wire with iron cores between the
poles of q powerful electric magnet.
The principles of the dynamo,
first called a magnetic-electric
machine, and keeping that name
until 1873, were discovered by
Faraday. between the years 1893
and 1881.
From this time ON exIerimenters
were busy searching for ways
by which electrical energy could
be utilized as mechanical power
and today the galvanic battery and
electric dynamo are rapidly GUST
ing steam, and in a thousand ways
doing the work with less noise and
expense
The principles were first used in
a machine made by an Italian nam
ed Pixii in 1892. He mounted a
horseshoe magnet upon a shaft and
made it revolve before iron cores
wound with wire. their ends being
opposite poles of magnet. He
afterwards mounted the coils and
left the magnet fixed. As result.
he obtained II rapid alternating
current, changing in direction as
the armature approached and re-
ceded from the poles of the mag
net. This apparatus was after
wards improved by combining IA
number Of magnets and also num-
ber of coils.
In 1857 Professor Siemens of
Berlin began to wind the wire from
end to end instead of winding it
around and around like a spool of
thread. The armature was then
set crosswise to the legs of the
electric magnet. The alternating
current was made to flow in one
direction by means of commuta-
tor, a device for making the alter
mating current flow in one direct
line.
In 1866, Wilde carried the cur
ent back to the coils, thus increas-
ing the current. 1t was this IN

Here is the field for the great educa-

so as to include manual arts and agricul-
ture.

The current at once grew strong
er and added a second increase to
the strength of the magnet. Thus,
step by step, the strength of the
current was increased and the
great field magnet gained greater
attraction and power by produc-
ing a current greater than that
with which it began.
AS late as 1873, the word dyna-
mo was not known, and the mag
netic-electric machines were talk
ed of. Since then, Edison. Wes-
ton and Others have been busy de-
veloping the machine that had
slowly come into existence.
The dynamo gives back only the
power given to it. The dynamo
needs power to draw the armature
away from the attraction of the
magnets and as the machines in
crease in size, some power greater
tnan mans Is necessary. The
steam-engine was early employed
to whirl the armature rapidly be-
fore the poles of the ma gnet.
In the great dynamos now in
use, engines of hundreds of horse
power are used to. overcome the
immense resistance and to weld
the g reat speed of rotation needed.
The cataract of Niagara furnishes
hundreds of thousands of horse
power for running dynamos.
With this, and other enterprises,
now under way, in our country we
will, in the future, be able to fur
nish all the water power we need
for running these dynamos.

STRANGE CASE OF
MRS. THORPE TOLD
In PROBATE COURT
Aged Woman Mentally Weak
But Bodily Strong = Lives
Like Hermit, LabOrs on Farm

One of the most remarkable hear
ings in the history of the local pro-
bate court began yesterday, when
petition of William T. Thorpe of Mad
ison road to have a conservator APP
pointed over his mother, in order to
prevent his father, Samuel Thorpe,
from selling the family's 100000 cs-
tate on Madison road.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thorpe were married
before 1874, and according to Con-
necticut law the husband has life
use In the estate, which is the wife's
property. If he secures her signature,
he may dispose of the estate. 1t is to
prevent any such action that the son
seeks the appointment of conserva-
tor for his mother on the ground that
she is mentally incompetent.
Neighbors were the chief witnesses
interesting fact that Mrs. Thorpe has
never been away from her farm more
than once during the past 25 years,
so far as is known; that she leads
the life of a hermit, so far as the
outside world is concerned, and has
never seen trolley car. nor in fact
any of the downtown sights of busy
city.
The strange dress and stranger ac-
rions of Mrs. Thorpe were outlined to
the court. The witnesses gave the
impression that Mrs Thorpe who is
over 10, is woman of bodily vigor
but of mental weakness. She is SO
strong that she is enabled to do u
mans work on the farm, but her
mentality is such that she cannot

wears mans shoes upon her feet and
a heavy belt of mans pattern about
her waist. In this costume it is no
unusual sight to see her out doing
farm work in the fields, or milking
the cows.

tiosn of his wife. Samuel Thorpe, aged

year ago. The injured wrist required
daily rubbing and to perform this
service, the nurse was engaged.

INCREASE IN SALES
OF 0LEOMARGARlNE.
Food Commissioner Says
Dealers Are Increasing
Higher Price Of Butter
Cause for the Demand for
Imitation - Adulteration
of Flavoring Extracts and
Drugs.

The biennial report of Dairy and
Food Commissioner Hubert T. Potter
for the two years ended September
30, 1910, calls attention to the adji-
tional duties laid upon him by the
General Assembly of 1909 which gave
him the regulation of the sales of food
and drugs. In connection with the
sale of oieomargarine the commission
er writes:
1.-THE sale of imitation butter has
increased very rapidly since my last
report was published. This condi-
ton has come about on account of
the high price Of pure butter. These
imitation goods are mostly sold ac-
dealers have increased from about
twenty-five to $50 it increases the
work of the department very much.
There are a few licensed dealers that
cannot resist the temptation to sell
oleomargarine for butter. This fact
a thorough inspection of all places
where it is sold and also where he
suspects 1t is used contrary to law"
Commissioner Potter also calls at
tention to the law regulating the sale
OF renovated butter, saying that the
dealers that they must comply with
the statutes. He says, as above, that
the high price of butter has caused
the increase in the sale of oleomarga-
rine and in speaking of the produc-
ton of milk he says.
AS statistics show our butter sup
ply is declining in quality and is it to
be wondered at when we stop to con-
slider the condition of the milk sup
ply used for butter. The milk sup
has been under the supervision of a
local milk Inspector with more or
less careful attention and whenever
any milk supply is stopped on ac-
count of unSanitary conditions at the
dairy producing this milk the produc-
er either has to correct the unsani-
tary conditions or else find another
market, and many times, rather than
go to little extra expense in COM
plying with the inspectors demands,
he will make butter, and butter made
under such conditions will not usually
be of very good quality"
He urges, as he has before, the
Importance of sanitary conditions for
the cow and the danger from malevo-
lent bacteria and says:
In considering the condition Of the
barn or stable, it is essential to make
that as clean as possible, manure
should be removed once a day if not
oftener, and it should not be thrown
out of the stable window and allow
ed to pile up against the side Of the
barn. but removed reasonable dis
lance from the stable, stalls. with
concrete floor and gutter back of
cows are the easiest to keep clean.
All stables should be whitewashed
once or twice a year, and well light
ed and ventilated.
The drawing of milk is stage in
sanitary milk production which needs
much attention because it is at this
time that the greatest number Of bac-
terra find their way into milk. The
care of the milk after drawing is also
of great Importance, as the simple op-
Grafton of pouring milk from one re-
ceptacle to another in foul room
will increase the bacteria very rapii-
ly. Milk should be cooled as quick

ticular as to the quality of the pro-
duct bought by them in the future.
The experience of the commission
err with favoring extracts is interest
ing as several samples of lemon ex-
tract contained no oil of lemon while
others contained only trace. Still
others contained glycerine or tuner
fc, the latter added probably for its
coloring effect, while one, containing,
according to the label, 40 per cent.
of lemon oil, was found to have none
at all in it. Even more trouble is
experienced with vanilla extracts.
Peppermint extract is made with only
q trace of peppermint and the ex-
tract Of orange contains little or no
orange oil. Camphorated oil con-
tains too little camphor and lime wa
ter is found lacking in lime. Snuff
