Eninms of CraNitatior.

Gravitation iS one of natures enir- mas. The great Newton himself did not pretend Co know what Cravitation is. He only knew that 1t existed, and he was able to prove how it acted. but what it was in and of itself he never knew. Gravitatiou is a law of na- ture or a force acting in accordance with law of nature. and that is all that the wiSeSt man Is able to say about it-unless he Is prepared to talk nonsense. It is like electricity. We know perfectly well what electricity does. but what electricity itself Is bafIlcs the profoundcst of scientists and philosophers. New York American.

Looking in at win dow. he was struck by the intent in- duStry of a humphacked goldsmith, and sO the king entered the little shop for chat. The result of this inter view was an order for gold table scrv- Ice for the royal household, which made the fortune of the hUnchhack.

 Frederick William, p8tcrnal in pun ishment as well as in rewarl. at once made inquiries as Co the ownership of the house wherein this Shrcw lived. He found that it belonged tC her huS band. and therefore reasoned that there was little likelihood or the fam ilv moving. This seemed to please him. He next enlisted the services Of a sculptor and ordered him to make the bust of a woman with the most shcewish, Nantlppc like face he could imagine. The king then bought and renovated the house in which the hunchback he'd his workshop, present ed it to him and caused the bust to be placed conSpiCuouSly above the workroOm window. Thus whenever the envious woman across the street looked forth from her easement the first thing on which her eyes fell was this intended portrait of her amiable self.

 During the interim between the

Washington within the next week or
ten days will know the exact cost Of
its public schools In comparison with
other cities.
This was the statement OF DR.. William
NJ. Davidson, superintendent of public
schools, in an address before the CO.
lumbia Heights Citizens Association In
st. Stephens hall last night. DR..
Davidson is making a study OF the
cost OF education in Washington and
other cities of approximately the same
population: With this information,

Bureau, the school authorities will be
able to answer the charge Of extrava-
gance that has been made. II there

Or. Davidson impressed It upon his
hearers that in computing the cost OF
education the average daily attendance
Of pupils and not the per capita cost
according to population of the city
Fol instance. the city Of Milwaukee.
In 1910, he said, had q population of
lie schools Of Milwaukee was 1900 and
in Washington $1,000. Based on the
percentage of population, It would APP
pear that the cost Of education in NIL
WRukee was greatly less imam mere, Out
when II Is considered that Washington
has 10000 more pupils. these figures, he
said, cannot be accepted as a correct
basis.
DR.. Davidson declared in favor of the
erection of sixteen-room school build
inGs. The District made a mistake, he
said. when II started Its building on the
eight-room basis. The erection of larger
buildings, he said, would mean a saving
in the cost of heating apparatus and
fuel, as well as in the salaries of prin-
cipals.
Superintendent Davidson is a believer
In holidays, which. he declared, are a
benefit to children.
Stephen Kraemer, supervising princi-
pal Of the Columbia Heights public
schools, delivered brief address pledg-
ing the members OF the association his
support in the work of training the
