MAGNETIzED PUPILS
 MAKE RECORD MARKS

LONDON. April 6. A series oI experiments just completed by Pro lessor Arrhenius of Stockholm seems to add enc more wonderful work to the credit of electricity. He took two sets of fifty children each, of the same age and general physical condition, and placed them in two schoolrooms, where they carried on their lessons for six months.
 One of these rooms had in it's walls wires bearing continuous high ire quency alternating currents arrange d after system perfected by D'Arsen- val, the French scientist, thus making the room a magnetic field.
 At the end of the period the fifty children in the electrically charged room had added an average of two inches to their height as against trifle more than an inch and sixth fir the children in the other room.
 Moreover, fifteen of the magnetized pupils had perfect marks. while the average for all was more than 90 per cent, as against D per cent for the unmagnetized children.
 The further trial of this system may reveal the hitherto unsuspected method of 0uickeninp the faculties of students. If 1t does, the magnetized school will become a popular institu-

George f. Gum has returned from a

Mines property. The Copper Mines ground
adjolns the Nevada Consolidated Ruth

IN The diSpa tchcS TO the local press and
others, that the whole thing seems 10 be
a. very good solution of the difficulties

plan Will provide a sufficient fund TO pay
off all the debts OF tho company and
complete the construction OF the concen-
trating plant, and probably leave COM

Mr.. Frank stated also in effect that all
the agitation and unfavorable criticism
over the fact that the Mascotto tunnel is
operated separately from the Ohio Cop
per company, is unfair and undoubtedly
Is due Ia a misunderstanding OF the cir
cumstances. The tunnel is owned by the
Bingham Central Railway company which
operates the electric railway line In the
tunnel and from it to the Ohio Copper
mill
The 10 cents per ton charge is a trans
portation rate for which the railroad is
under contract TO transport the ore OF the
Ohio Copper company from mine 10 mill.
The profit OF this transaction is far from
being eXorbitant or diSproportionate TO
The services rendered. particularly so

The mill, sampler and tramway are
now operating under electric power. The
mill and sampler boilers having been put

In general per ton costs have been

tributed 10 the same end.
