The City Dads held a special meet
ing last night for the purpose OF dis
cussing the flood situation. One OF
their objects was taking up the mat
ter OF properly disinfecting West

as might be deemed proper toward
meeting the emergency Of the pres

Capt. Powers will be conferred with
In regard TO further state and gov

coming and fills up the bottoms again.
Our understanding is that the gov
ernment will not reopen the commits
saries unless the situation grows con-
siderably worse Before breaking
camp last week. rations were given
out to supply the refugees up TO yes

procure their own supplies for the
time being. Something like 500 people
have moved back to town again this
week from the bottoms. and are be

REFORM IN LIGHT SYSTEMS
importance Of Preserving Eyss a.
Workers Brought to Attention u
Architects and O~wsrs.

The question of proper lighting 10
coming 10 be more vital every day. In
the cities there are thousands of work
ers who do all the work BY artificial
light. and such places a. hotel lob
bies. railroad stations. libraries and
the Like are now constructed 90 that
artificial lighting 10 necessary ct all
hours Of the day and night. The I'm
portanoe Of preserving the eyes Of
workers and patrons Is therefore
brought to the attention OF employers
and architects with the construction
Of every new building The sy-tem
which stands In highest favor just
nov IL the concealed hight" method.
because II saves both light and eyes.
II does away with al direct rays and
makes q glare impossible. With the
source Of light hidden much less power
70 needed to light Q given cubic space
This IL fairly familiar, but In this
connection certain English reports
have brought out q few figures with
regard to concealed lighting which are
new. For instance. the concealed light
ing system on ne brfttsh museum.
which has been found most satisfso-
tory for all purposes. is really only
seven onsthoussndths - intense as
daylight. The Light IN the woolsack
In the house OF lords Ia only six one
thoussndths - intense and that Of the
clerks desk In the house Of commons
one tvelvs-thousandth 90 intense. This
10 certainly q cheap enough system.
and what 10 more. remarkable univer-
sal testimony goes to show that II s
prs-eminently satisfactory.
The dino renee between the old siar-
ing method Of lighting and the new
concealed lighting may be seen In the
lobby Of the Auditorium hotsl In Chi
oago BY any one who was familiar
with the place before the new Lights
were Installed.

not be taken. Latin and Greek are
compulsory, and are rather overdone,
according 90 some Of our informAnts.
In 1850 Count A. Tolstoy. cousin Of
the literary Leo and then minister OF
education for tho RussiAs. became
obsessed with the idea that IN copious
doses OF the classics would lie the
dissipation OF the empires social un.
rest and that their study would foster
a spirit OF conservatism. So he dealt
out Latin and Greek with a generous
hand and the rising generation still
has TO stasger along with his unwel-
come legacy. Gymnasia. OF course.
are TO be found only in the towns and
cities.
The kommerschsskaia are private
and trade schools. The courses OF
mental instruction are much easier
than those OF the symnas.A They oc-
cur In the big towns and cities, and
are largely filled with the children OF
the Jews.
In the national free schools OF 81
IBERIA. only from 10 s per cent OF
the attendance IL permitted TO Be
composed OF Jewish lads. This 10 not
much hardship in the villages. but In
the towns and cities the position VIII
not right itself. Great numbers OF
Jewish lads are on the waiting list OF
every school.
All the Siberian schools. free and
otherwise. are filled TO the utmost
limit OF their capacity. In many cases
today they have TO go on double time
schedule. detachments OF the same
class being taught In the morning and
In the afternoon.
Tomsk IL the home OF the only uni
versity in Siberia. Founded In 1884,
and opened seven years later, Il has
now q very creditable attendance
which has been considerably under
rated. by the way. in recent books on
Siberian Affairs. The roll stands AZ
over LOO. and each succeeding term
shows an increase OF students. The
university IL non-residential, students
having to ind their own quarters IN
the town. Fees are very moderate
100 rubles (s5o) the year. which Is
divided into two long terms-one
starting In September. the other early
In the new year.
There are two Neutrality-suspicious.
and law. The former is the more I'M

splendidly equipped anatomical labor
atories and a fine meteorological In
stitute. II is under the auspices OF
the medical school~of Tomsk univsr
