BEAUTIFUL LANTERN SLIDES.

A very beautiful work is being done
at the agricultural department which
is bound to be of benefit in public
schools and ought to be copied abroad.
Interesting teaching in nature study
and botany is taught by Miss Susan
Sine In the public schools and demon
strated in a lecture with colored lam
tern slides. They are the most ex-
ouisite things the writer ever saw.
The slides contain pictures of tulips.
narcissus. several species of iris and
also orchids. Other lantern slides
give you hollyhocks, stocks, cherries,
wistaria, asters. chrysanthemums and
many others of the same class The
first complete exhibition Of these flow
ers was held In a lecture at the agri-
cultural department. with Jack Hill
liers at the lantern and Mr.. E. L..
Crandall, photographer of the bureau
of plant industry. who took the photo
graphs and made the slides. These
slides were photographed from the
growing plants and many Of them
colored from the same models. The
colorist is Mrs Catherine Mayo Rich
ardson. It is impossible to describe
the infinite care with which the work
has been done nor how exquisite
these blossoms are as presented on
the slides. Usually 1t would be a
wonderful help to the schools of the
country II they could be supplied with
similar collections. At the exhibition
which was given some 30 or 40 depart
ment experts and specialists were
present, and they were united in de-
claring these lantern slides splendid

TO STOP CONTEMPLATING.

Robert o. Bailey, assistant secretary
of the treasury, is trying to compile a
list of the ten greatest men in Amer
ican history, to carry out a new idea
in the manufacture of paper money.
Under his plan the face of some IA
nous American would appear on GER
tain denomination of bill. Hia face
and none other would always be there,
1t has been the experience OF the
treasury department that bill raisers
and counterfeiters always have the
most trouble with the faces of men on
the bills. The new plan would make
the raising of bank note above its
denomination an impossibility. No
one could put beard on the picture
of Abraham Lincoln and make 1t look
like that of Grant
AS there are ten denominations of
United States paper currency, Mr.. Bal
ley needs ten famous Americans. He
made out tentative list, and then
came another rub Should the great
est of the great be placed on the
bills of larger or smaller denomina-
ton? Mr.. Bailey decided that since
the smaller bills, although not the
more popular, were more frequently
handled and were infinitely greater in
number, they should contain the en-
cravings of the best-known men.
Here is the list as 1t stands now:
George Washington goes on the 81
bill. The next most handled bill Is the
one of the S5 denomination, and Abra-
ham Lincoln is down for it. Jefferson
is slated for the 50 bill. Coming down
to more modern men, Cleveland gets
the place on the enth-of-a-century
note; Hamilton, the father of our
financial system, goes on the $40;
Jackson on the $50; Franklin. on the
S100; Marshall-not Governor Mar,
shall of Indiana-on the $500; Clay.
on the $1,000, and Grant, on the S1O,-
900 bill, the largest in denomination.
This list, of course, is only tentative
and is subject to change.
Under the new plan, we can expect
to see the words "a one" "a flyer,
"a fifty" and the like, to become obso'
let Instead we will be paying "a
Washington and a Jefferson for SO
pair of shoes, or will be asking for
change for "a Lincoln" Five or
ten Grants" would put us in Easy

ANDMARk TO GO.

Plans for the erection of a bust
ness block at the corner of Twelfth
street and New York avenue will re-
move one of the most memorable
landmarks in Washington. The land.
mark is a toy store where President
Lincoln was wont to take his little
son Tad.
The same little jumping jacks, the
same little 'arks with Noah and his
wooden family, and the same little
horses and monkeys occupy the win
dows of the toy shop at 1908 that
avenue. as when, half century ago.
1t was the favorite resting place OF
President Lincoln.
1t is the Stuntz toy shop, the goal
of little Tad Lincoln's desires. Here,
when the burdens of the greatest war
the world ever saw seemed too great
even for his broad shoulders to bear,
the president would go. taking little
Tad by the hand and stealing forth
from the White House by the back
way, and here he would forget his
cares of state, watching Tad and the
genial proprietor exploiting the vari-
GUS toys, oftentimes taking hand in
the play himself.

TO ASK FOR $1s,ooo,ooo.

Appropriation of s13,OOO,000 will be
asked of congress this year to cover
the Districts expenses. Last year
S12,429,935 was asked, but congress
cut the estimates to s10,675,S33.50.
About S150,OO0 will have to be pruned
from various estimates by the commits
sioners during the next few days. The
budget was in the hands of the secre-
tary of the treasury by October 10.
The largest item is the amount ask
ed for public schools. The board of
education and the commissioners
agreed that $3,100,000 would be the
smallest amount to be demanded for
the educational system. This includes
an item of $250,000 for beginning the
construction of the new Central High
school at Eleventh and w streets
northwest, the total cost of which is
estimated at s1,250,0O0. About ST..
10000 will be asked for the board of
charities.
