LIGHTNING CALCULATORS

The clerical stats Of many of the
big insurance companies have of late
years been considerably reduced BY
the employment of mechanical cal
culators.
One of these, the invention of =
German, is compact little affair
resembling music box. 1t may be
made to perform almost instantane-
ously the most portentous sums In
addition. subtraction. multiplication by
one or two factors. division. squar1ng
and cubing. It is required. for In
stance, to multiply 531.975 by 924. The
first factor is set by touching little
knobs representing 531,975.
To multiply by the other factor you
turn q handle four times, push long
slide one place and turn the handle
twice. then push the slide another
place onward and turn the handle nine
times. The long multiplication IL
now done without the possibility of
error 50 far as the machine is con-
cerned and the dial shows 491 .544 800.
In the same mechanical way may be
done all the other arithmetical pro-
cesses.

The Office Of School Treasurer.

There are five thousand school
treasurers in Iowa. These men are
paid for their services $4,000 per
year. In addition to this they have
the handling of the public money. On
the first of July each year after every
obligation has been paid, there yet
remains in the hands of school treas
urers throughout the state $4,000
600. The aggregate local school funds
in any given year amount to $14,-
900, 900.
BY abolishing the Office of school
treasurer $4,000 per year could be
saved With that sum one hundred
short courses in agriculture could be
held throughout the state in addition
to those now provided for. Such use
of the money would bring better re-
suits than paying the same in salar-
les to local school treasurers.
There is no law requiring interest
to be paid on balances in the school
fund Such a law should be enacted
at the coming session of the legisla-
ture. In this connection it may be
properly suggested that there is no
law compelling interest to be paid
on municipal funds remaining in the
banks. This should be attended to at
the next sitting of the legislature.
We suggest to the taxpayers
throughout the state that they have
no interest whatever in paying $780,
900 per year to school treasurers. We
also suggest to the taxpayers that
they should ask every candidate for
the legislature what he proposes to
do in regard to the Office of school
treasurer. 1t is difficult to abolish
the office of school treasurer with five
thousand of them in the state. They
are men of influence. They have
been able to prevent the abolition of
the office heretofore.
The taxpayers should ask every
man who aspires to be member OF
the legislature what he intends to do
when the proposition comes up to
abolish the Office of school treasurer
This is the taxpayers year in

CAPTAIN ROGERS SLIDE

Bald Mountain or Rogers Rock on
the west shore Of Lake George rears
its ponderous bulk of granite to an al
most perpendicular height OF 1,1Oo
feet, being matched by similar bulk
and height on the east, half q mile
away. Here Captain Rogers and his
small army on snowshoes were de-
feated by q large army OF French
and Indians. The small remnant were
scattered through the forest at the
top of the mountain, and a party OF
Indians tracked the marks OF the
snowshoes of the refugees. When
Rogers became aware that he was
likely to be driven over the prectp1ce,
he made his way to the brink, threw
his pack and accoutrements down the
slide to the lake. He then turned his
snowshoos around and, after stealing
along the edge Of the hill. made his
way down the lake. picked up his
pack, reversed his snowshoes and
sped southwark to the Narrows. where
he was met by Captain Stark with 70
Inducements and provisions. The In
dams followed Rogers tracks to tho
brink. whore. seemingly. were two
tracks to the precipice. They con-
cluded that two white men had slid
down 10 the Ice below. While gazing,
they saw mile away the form OF
Rogers. But considering him under
the special protection Of the Great
Spirit, they made no further pursuit.

memorials on his estate near San
Francisco, and among them is the
tower here pictured. 1t stands on the
spot from which General Fremont first
saw and named the Golden Gate, the
strait that connects the Pacific ocean
and the Bay Of San Francisco. The
tower faces due west and has an un-
obstructed view of the strait. To the
spectator, looking from it, the sun
seems to set at the Golden Gate.
