School Matters At Harlan.

of the best known teachers in town,
the other day, as she broached the
subject of the condition of terrorism
at the High School. But all the work
of speaking out for better social condi-
lions in the schools should not be
left to one imam. When the honor OF
members of the senior class is ques-
toned, when the personnel of the
senior class melts away because pupils
grow tired of being hectored and
spied on, when an attorney has to be
employed to protect, small pupil
from an unjust suspicion, and when
members of the teaching force leave
the Friday afternoon meeting in tears
because of shameful tongue flashing
is it not time the school patrons were
taking up the matter ON their own &C
count? Harlan Tribune.

GATHERING RUBBER.
The Sap Is coasuIated by the Action
of Punaent Smoke.

of Pungent Smoke.
The industry Of collecting and pre-
pairing rubber is carried on extensively
In the valley of the Amazon. There are
districts of many square miles owned
and operated by one person. The rub
Der trees are scattered more or less
plentifully among other trees that
yield no profit as yet.
When one has secured large tract
of forest land for the industry he puts
up a rough shelter upon 1t and en-
cages Indian natives Of the neighbor-
hood to aid him in the work. Early in
the morning they start out to make
the rounds of the estate, for they must
get back to the riverside before the
heat of the day becomes too great.
They tap the trees, attach little tn
cups to catch the sap and take home
whatever sap may be collected.
The sap of the rubber tree is white
liquid of the consistency Of goats milk.
II is necessary that 1t be converted
into a solid This is effected by the
action of pungent smoke that coagu-
lates or curdles the milky fluid. For
this use the seeds of two different
kinds Of palm are employed. The seeds
are put in an earthen Jar which has
narrow neck, the bottom Of which is
perforated with a number of square
holes. In this the palm nuts are
burned The holes in the bottom Of the
jar admit draft and cause dense
smoke to issue from the neck.
The operator takes paddle similar
to that with which he paddles his ca
noe and holds the blade of 1t over the
Jar. Upon It he pours the milky juice,
cup by cup, all the time turning the
blade so as to bring all parts Of 1t into
the smoke The fluid is instantly fixed
and adheres to the wood or to the rub
Der already formed. This process is
continued until solid lump Is formed
that will perhaps weigh sixteen
pounds. When the lump has grown
large enough for handling slit is cut
In 1t and the blade In drawn out. A
mass OF rubber is left ready for ex-
portation. It is the smoke used in
coagulating the sap that gives crude
rubber the dark appearance familiar to
every one
Natives who collect rubber have, Gu
riousiy enough, little use for the ar
ticle They do, however, devise play
things for their children by pouring
the sap into clay molds Of birds, fishes
etc., and then crushing the clay and
removing it.-New York Press.

THE LAW OF SEEING.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

! once knew a man who thought
the world was beautiful and believed
that people were good. He was al
ways seeing the bright side of things
The man was companionable and lika'
BILE and popular.
Then he was deceived by one or two
persons In whom he had believed.
He was disillusioned and illogically
came to the conclusion that all men
are bad and all women false. He be.
came cynical. The world no longer
appears beautiful. His standing sneer
at humanity is that every man and
woman has price. He is unappre.
ciative. Grabbed and unpopular.
Why the change?
Simply this-the man has changed
his viewpoint.
The world has not changed, nor the
people. His angle of vision is diff
ferent. He sees only the seamy side
of things. What he sees is what be
is looking for, and he finds what be
wants to see. And what he sees makes
him what he is.
And this man thinks himself super.
wise. He has found the world out!
Cynic and pessimist that he is. he has
overlooked the law Of seeing. which
is
Yen see what you want to see. What
you see transforms you into what you
are. And, in turn, what you are de
termines what you see.
You cannot see what is not in you
to see. If you are unbeautiful in your
inner self you cannot see the beauties
of nature or of a great picture or OF
human nature.
The ability to see is not in nature mol
the picture nor in humanity. but In
yourself.
Therefore the cynical point of view
is wrong, and there is no wisdom In
the cynic's philosophy.
1t requires discernment and the right
angle Of vision to discover the good
that is In people and things. And the
opdmist Is wiser than the cynic be
cause the optimist sees the things tina
are worth while.
The cynic does not see things as they
are. His vision is warped. The gen
uine sort Of criticism is that sort
where the critic discovers and appre
ciates the good. He knows the evil
but is not influenced by 1t.
Look for beauty and goodness and
you win find them. and they will
make you beautiful and good; look fol
ugliness and evil and you will find
them. and they will make you evi
and ugly.

THE MICROBES.
But For Them All Green Plants Would
Vanish From the Earth.

But For Them All Green Plants Would
Vanish From the Earth.
Few persons can realize at first
what an immense number and variety
of microbes there are not only around
us In the air and dust and water, but
also I'm us and on US and in and on
every living thing. The work, the
huge system of chemical change and
the circulation of the elements-car-
sulphur-which they carry on is in
cessant, varied and complex. Those
five elements are the main and essen
tial constituents Of all living things.
Supposing there were no microbes,
there would be no putrefaction, no
breaking down of the dead bodies of
animals and plants which were once
alive into gas and substances soluble
in water.
They by series of steps in which
different kinds of bacteria or microbes
are successfully concerned convert
the proteids and the fats and sugars
of dead plants and animals into less
elaborate bodies, organic acids. aro-
matte bodies and other compounds
(some highly poisonous to mani, and
at last, when what were highly COM
pick combinations of hundreds of at
oms In each molecule have been re-
duced by the action of first one and
then of another kind Of microbe into
comparatively simple substances of
twenty or thirty atoms to the mole
Guile, the coup de grace is given by
certain special microbes, which con-
vert these later compounds into still
simpler combinations-namely. ammo
MIA and nitrates. which are fairly sta
BILE, so that the whole elaborate chem
zeal fabric Of living matter in few
hours or days after death is broken
down until 1t reaches the stable min
eraP condition, practically carbonate
and nitrate of Notwithstanding
salts.
If there were no microbes this would
never occur. The earth would be
numbered with the dead bodies of past
generations of animals and plants-un-
decomposed. And very soon all the
organic elements, all the carbon and
nitrogen, If not all the hydrogen and
oxygen. on the face Of the earth woOl
be fixed in these corpses, and the
green plants would perish from the
whole world for want of sustenance.
for 1t is the green plants which feed
on and absolutely must have as their
food the carbonic acid. ammonia and
nitrates into which the microbes re-
solve all living things when dead. 1t
is the green plants which from those
simple compounds build up again the
more complex molecules. the sugars.
