DR.. SchurInan has long been inter

in Greece have been one Of his pecu-
liar hobbies. Philippics Is his especial
chair at Cornell. and he has written
books on philosophical subjects.
He was born in Freetown, Prince Ed
ward Island, in 1854, of Dutch de-
scent. He received his higher educa-
ton at the University Of Edinburgh
and various German universities. Lat
er he studied in California, at Yale and
other American institutions. For a
time he specialized on political econo-
my and psychology and in 1856 became
professor of philosophy at Cornell. He
was made president Of the university
In 1892.
The only official position ever held
by DR.. Schurman was that of presi-
dent of the first Philippine commits
sion in 1890.
During DR.. Schurman's administra-
ton Cornell has emerged from minor
position In the collegiate world to one
Of the greatest universities in the coun-

when he came was less than 1900. has

, Prospective attendants at the Yer
mont state fair and other fairs, where
sviators are to exhibit their skill, should
take warning from numerous accidents
that the only safe way in case the avia-
tors machine becomes unruly is not to
run but to drop fat on the ground. Ten
to one the whirring propeller blades will
pass over. In an exhibition in France,
Sunday, scores of people were cut down
by the rapidly revolving blades of an
unmanageable aeroplane, while the
thoughtful persons who fell prone on
the ground escaped all injury. There
fore, while the chances of similar acei-
dent may seem small, it is well to bear
this thing in mind and be prepared for
the contingency.

national ELECTION NOT FORE
CASTED BY MAINE ELECTION.

As an Indicator of national politics,
the Maine election of yesterday is of
mo particular value because the compli-
cations of the greater field of politics
were not allowed to enter the small
field of state politics. In other words.
1.-THE state election was not complicated
by the addition of state Progressive
party ticket, which left the Republicans
of regular utilization and the Republi-
cans of disconnected mind free to unite
against their common enemy, the Demo
crats. Were there no Progressive can
didate for president of the United States,
THE Maine result would most certainly
lroint to the election of the Republi-
can candidate because the Republican
party succeeded in getting back much
of that which was lost at the last state
election when the Democrats swept the
state and sent two Democratic senators
ito Washington unheard of thing in
Maine.
But such simple state of affairs
does not exist; there is Progressive
candidate for president, and what is
more important no small section OF the
Republican party of Maine is on REQ.
ord in support of that party's candidate,
anly that they refrained from break
bng away until after the state cleo
tion. From now on, the dissatisfied wing
Of the party is likely to make open
profession of faith in the Progressive
candidate for the presidency.
Therefore, it will be seen that yes.
terday's vote does not show how Maine
stands on the presidency, and the Re-
publican plurality of small size is not
p criterion by which to Judge of the
sentiment OF the country at large. As
barometer" it is even less valuable
than was the Vermont election with
its local distractions. Things are stillI
mere matter of conjecture insofar as
the national election is concerned.
The proposed European trip of Sen
Rtor Cummins of Iowa and his decision
not to return until the eve of the mn |
tional election might be taken to mean
that he is running away from very
disagreeable situation, in which his men
tai turn prompts him to support the
Progressive cause and renounce the Pro
gressive candidate. Meanwhile Senator
ia Toilette is showing his calibre by
sticking to his guns and defying each
and all.

walton and Deduction.
The truth is that without knowl-
edge OF woodcraft one would soon per-
ish in the wilderness, and woodcraft
is simply Sherlock Holmes work APP
piled to wild life, matter of observa-
ton and deduction. Ii man finds q
lot Of hair adhering to trunk or a
tree he knows it did not grow there,
and be is safe In assuming that no
man took the trouble to stick 1t there.
Thus be arrives at the conclusion that
some animal has been scratching itself
on the tree.
But in order to tell what animal has
been there he must be familiar with
the hair belonging to all the inhabit-
ants Of that section. Not until then
can he say that deer, moose, a
puma or wolf, as the case may be,
rubbed its side against the tree trunk.
or course IL there is snow upon the
ground the tracks of the animal will
aid him in identifying the creature.

and the sun is shining and he notes

the leaves or pebbles.
In fact, all the apparently wonderful
feats of trailing are based primarily

In winter time it's fine to dream
About the rushing mountain stream
Where blossoms borrow from or high
The colOrs of each Changefui sky:
To wade where waters swirl and swish
q angle for the speckled fish;
Or else where quiet depths extend
To swim and join them as q friend.
In summer time it's rather nice
To see in dreams the sllvery Ice
And join the throngs that c~ongregate
To brave the frost and lightly skate.
The thought of fishing most will

In winter when you're saIe from

And law summer Is, youth und.

 The average yield of irrigation rice reported was 45.9 bushels per acre and the average value s41.56. The cost of irrigation enterprises in Arkansaa was S587,834 up to July 1, 1910. ThS acreage capable of being irrigated by| these enterprises in 1910 was 47 .1Ss Outside of Arkansas county, the irriI gated rice farms made up per cent of the total number of farms.
 The total average reported as irrtI gated for rice growing in 1909 wasI 27.753, of which nearly one-half was ill Arkansas county, about one-fourth l] Ionoke county and about one-eighth| in Prairie county. Most of the remain- ing irrigated acreage was in St. Franl eis, Poinsett and Woodruff countiesl There were 1,2S2, $50 bushels of rougA rice produced in Arkansas in 1909, valued at S1,15S, 103. In 1899 the total crop amounted to but $295. The aver. age cost per acre of irrigated enter. prises. based on the acreage enter prises were capable of irrigating in 1910 is about the same as in Louisiana and the estimated final cost per acre included in projects does not differ greatly from that in Louisiana or Texas.
 The average cost per acre enterpris- es were capable of irrigatiop in 1910 varies widely in the different counties. The lowest average cost $i.46. is shown for Arkansas county, which con- tains nearly one-half of the irrigated acreage. The highest average cost s21.29. is shown for Prairie county, in which about one-eighth of the irrigated acreage is situated. In all of the coun ties, except Arkansas. the average cost is above the average for the state.
