engineering as profession will soon
require the establishment of regular
courses of study"
Now to the younger portion of
our readers this prediction by Prof.
Roach, which by the way, is quite
generally encouraged by advanced
educators, may not seem remarkable.
But to those Of us who are old
enough to remember the picture
of DARIUS Green and his flying
machine" falling out and down from
an open barn door, some six or eight
feet to the ground, it does appear
remarkable.-not so strange when
standing by itself alone as when
grouped with the thousands of other
scientific developments, since Darius
tumbled down.

WONDERS OF DUST.
lts Kingdom lie as eound'ess - sne
Universe Itself.


lts Kingdom ls as eound'ess = sns
Universe Itself.
Vast is the kingdom OF dust. I'm
like terrestrial kingdoms. It knows
no limits. No oceans marx It's
boundaries: no mountains hem it IN;
no narallels Of latitude and iongi-
tude define it's boundless area, nor
can the farthermost stars IN the IN
fnitudes Of space serve other than
as twinkling outposts OF a kingdom
as vast as the universe itself. And
what shall we say as to the comPo-
nent subjects of this kingdom? In
number. form and variety they
transcend all conceptions OF the
human mind; in shape they COM
prise every possible form; in posi-
lion they include every substance
that is material; in condition they
are solid, liquid, vaporous and
gaseous.
They are with us in the quiet Sc
clusion of our homes, in the busy
streets and marts of commerce, on
the sunlit crests of the snowy Him
alayas, out on the silent prairies,
mingled with the deserts shifting
sands, amid the ice of the frozen
arctic. They fall as ambassadors
from space on the clouds OF canvas,
the wings of the flying ships, thou
sands of miles from land. They
come to us enshrined in the beau
tiful snow crystals, and every drop
of rain carries with it from the up
per reaches of the atmosphere some
Of these tiny subjects of the mighty
kingdom of dust.
Dust would not be possible were
it not for the fact that matter is
almost infinitely divisible.
It has been estimated that an
average puff of smoke from a Gig
arctic contains about four thousand
millions Of particles of dust.
A single grain of indigo will give
color to ton of water. Of course
every drop of this water must con-
tain an immense number of ultra
microscopic particles of indigo. A
few grains of huorescein, a sub
stance derived from coal tar, will
produce a distinct fuorescence,
shining with yellowish green light
when strongly Illuminated, in 100
tons Of water. To produce this re-
suit the huorescein must be divided
into countless billions of PARTICLES.
Every conceivable substance en-
tiers into the composition of dust.
In street dust may be found bits of
iron and steel from the tires of
wagons, horseshoes and the nails
of our own shoes, bits of leather
from harness, fragments of wood,
cotton, silk, stone, gold, silver,
clothing, paper, hair, animal ex-
crefa, various ores, tin, paper, clay,
sand, molds, bacteria - in fact,
everything under the sun.-Popular
Mechanics.

The visitor handed over the coin and

''Whys Willie. Would you rather he
should have your pony than Mike, and
do you think 10 cents is enough for a
pony?" his mother protested.
Willie paused at the door and grin

Esca Sad His Notice.

In the early days Of the Hayes adj
ministration, when Mr.. Evarts was
secretary of state, the members OF
the cabinet were discussing matters
in an informal way one morning
when the president mentioned that
he had made a few appointments
without consulting his official fam
lily, the appointees being personal
friends. All the places filled hap
pened to fall within the state de-
partment. Secretary Eyarts turned
to John Sherman and said, with a
twinkle in his eye, Il have often
heard and read about the western
reserve Of Ohio, but [ must confess
that | have never seen any of it.

CASTE m INDIA.
a Social Pail That 10 m Impossible

Barrier 70 Progress
First of all caste is question of
birth, and there is no entry except
by birth. A worker in coal mine
may become a part owner thereof,
and his daughter may marry peer
and his grandson become peer in
England. | can personally intro
duce the reader to dozens Of still
uneducated clerks, stenographers,
mill hands, newsboys, and their
wives, widows, sisters and daugh-
tiers, whose millions seat them at
the dinner tables of the Brahman
class in America. But no millions
will enable the low caste Hindu to
marry into Brahman family or
even to touch the hand or throw his
shadow on the food Of a Brahman
in India.
If man is accommodated by
his caste fellows in India no one of
the caste will eat with him, accept
water from his hands or marry him.
His own wife will not touch him or
speak with him. He is dead to his
family. The barber even will not
shave him or cut his hair or his toe
nails.
There is no legislation, no police,
no trial in the courts, no adjust
ment of land revenue or land ten
ure, no meeting of municipal or
district councils, no appointment to
Office, small or great; no handling
of any community in time of plague
or famine, no hygienic precautions
or sanitary arrangements, into
which does not enter this question
of caste to complicate, to make diff
ficult and perhaps to foil, the most
reasonable and necessary work of
the administrator. A Brahman
clerk has been known to distribute
legal documents by throwing them
down at the end Of the village
street in which live his low caste
brethren. Letter carriers have
been known to refuse to enter the
houses Of or to permit themselves
to come into personal contact with
those of lower status than them
selves.
If one could picture to oneself
social snobbery lifted into fanat-
zeal religious faith it would be a
pale description of the iron subdi-
visions Of caste in india, but even
then simple as compared with the
meticulous intricacies of this social
pail. Here is no patriotism and can
be none in country thus divided
against rself.-Price Collier in
Scribner's.

Knew Something Would Happen.

An old man who had lived all his
life on the moors and who had
never seen railway was persuad-
ed by his two sons to accompany
them on trip to Sheffield. Arriv-
ing at the station, the old man was
terrified at the sight Of the train
running into the station and ex-
claimed, 'Let's go back, lads, or
something will happen. But his
sons hustled him into carriage,
where he sat looking terribly upset
and muttering to himself, "Some-
thing will happen" The climax was
reached when the. train dashed into
a tunnel, the old man crying out: q
knew something would happen. I'm
struck blind"

New Crop Prices

Seattle. July 21.--The grain com
mittee of the Merchants Exchange
yesterday put on the board for the
first time this season new crop grain
quotations While quotations have
been made on new grain for several
weeks, the members of the exchange
have up to now held that the new
market was not sufficiently estab-
lished to warrant posting prices.
The prices posted yesterday were
So cents for bluestem. 80 cents for
club. forty fold and fife and rs cents
for red Russion.
Last years opening prices were
SO cents for bluestem, rs for club,
forty fold and fife and rs for red
Russion.
Not many millers or exporters will
take grain at the prices posted, for
the values are above export values
and not in line with the eastern mar
kets Still they are the prices which
sellers demand for the moment and
are as near the market as any that
the grain committee could establish.
A little new wheat has been pur-
chased. Some new wheat has reached
the Sound already and some reached
Portland last week.

Black Rust

CHICAGO, July 23.-Anxiety by
shorts in grain brought about rapid
advance in that option today. Black
rust spreading and the scantiness of
the supply of fodder in store here
were responsible
Muggy warm weather over the en-
tire spring crop country chiefly
stirred up the wheat trade. 1t was
not until there had been a succession
of dispatches from one state after
another telling of new discoveries of
black rust that the pit began to
worry.
Despite wide fluctuations business
in the pit did not exceed that of a
good general average. Highest prices
were scored just before the finish.
September. the most active month
ranged from CSC to 947sc. with last
sales "a rs c, an advance of 2 "a COM
pared with "a hours before.
Persistent bidding for July on the
part of the larger elevator and com
mission concerns put corn shorts on
the defensive from the outset The
price was swiftly marked up almost
cent at a time. offerings being of
the most meager sort.
