The Prescott daily news., 1913-04-09

When a county adopts superin- tendency and elects a superinten- dent, the office of county exami- ner is abolished and the office of superintendent takes it's place, hence there is not an additional office but rather the one takes the place of the other. Practical. ly every state in the Union has adopted this plan and it has prov ed successful. It does not dis place school directors or other officers of the schools, but assists them.

The Arkansas Democrat says: "Goveruor Futrell sat upon the act to force a railway to establish station at a joint where the roads business for a a year amountnd to $53.00. The Governor did the right thing Too many such bills were jammed into the legislative hopper when more important legislation was pending in the recent legislature. What business has the legisla ture toying with acts to force a railway company to erect a sta tion at a point where the annual income of the road is about half a hundred dollars?"

- -. - - HEAVIEST RAINFALL.

The heaviest rainfall known upon the globe occurs on mountain slopes beyond the head of the Bay of Ben- gal, and amounts to about 610 inch es, or nearly ffty-one feet, during the year. One inch of rain implies the fall of 101 tons of water upon each acre of ground. It has been estimated by Commodore Maury that sixteen feet of water, assumed to be of the same area as the surface of the earth, is evaporated into the air every year. Another authority holds that if all the rain which falls m a year were accumulated in ba- sin the size of the earth the depth would amount to but eight feet.

A BIG BUSINESS.

The biggest business in@@which the state is engaged is education, a business in which more than 10000 persons are engaged, en- trusted with the training of 600,- 900 boys and girls for future cit. izenship. It is a business repre- senting a property valuation of more than S10,000,000 and ap- proximately $41, 100000 expendi- lures year. Certainly a busi- ness of such magnitude and pro- portions should require the most careful oversight in all its details. Yet we have no one to look after our part of it in Nevada County,
 If this was a business dealing with the minerals, the tim Der, the lands of our county, we might even then afford to pass it by with less regard, but it is a business dealing with the most precious property we have-our children, Shouldn't we look af- ter it more?

 Of Andrew Halliday, the founder Of this club, perhaps I. may be forgiven if tell you little anecdote, which may or may not be Known to you.

At din- ner one night at the club a stranger was present, and Harry Leigh asked who was the gentleman at the head of the table. That is Colonel Duff." '"Ohr "Yes, that is Halliday's broth er."

The EIsphan nxsu paIata-

An elephants palate is very delicate, and the animal is whimsical in select ing or rejecting morsels of food. A writer tells of an incident humorously illustrative of the whims of tame ele- phant belonging to the police of Dhur- brf. This elephant was fed with rice and piantains. The stems of the plan tains were split and cut into trans verse sections two feet in length. Three-quarters of a pound of rice was placed within each tube of plantain stem. One day while the elephant was being fed some one offered 1t a small sweet biscuit 1t was taken in the trunk and almost immediately thrown on the ground. The mahout, thinking that the elephant had behaved rudely, picked up the biscuit and inserted it in a parcel of rice within a plantain stem. This was placed in the beasts mouth, and at the very first crunch it showed its disgust by refusing the whole mess. The small biscuit had disgusted the animal, and for several minutes it tried by its inserted trunk to rake out every atom from its tongue and throat.-Har- per's Weekly.

A cnmh In tha Claw

Many birds possess useful comb in the claw of the middle toe of the foot. This has been noticed in owls, night jars, herons, bltterns, cormorants, gan nets, etc. It has been explained as a means of holding the prey securely. The comb Is sometimes replaced by curved blade with teeth, which run along the inner side of the claw. Such blade is found in razorbills, wild ducks, gulls, starlings and many other birds. Where comb Is required the inner edge of this blade becomes di- vided into teeth. Young nightjars or goatsuckers have only the blade, but old ones have a well developed comb.

Six Hit. With No Runs.

Baseball has some funny freaks, but none ever beat one which a writer re- calls happened in a game in Indiana on May 30. 1890, when the Anderson club got three trtplsts. double and two singles in one innings and yet they didn't score. Ireland, the first batter, hit for a triple and tried to score on a short passed ball, but was tagged out. wiswell, the next batter, hit for what looked like home run, but was caught at the plate by good return. Shum- way, the next batter. tripled. The next batter, Derby, bunted, and while the third baseman was waiting for the ball to go foul the batter made second, thus giving him two bases. Faatz also bunt- ed and was safe, as Shumway on third was held from scoring. This made five hits, and the sixth came when Fear hit a liner to right, the ball hitting Faatz on the way to second, thus retiring the side.

Growing Inverted Trees.

A foreign railway company has solved the plan of getting good shade trees in a short time, though they may be small. These trees are so arranged that after two years time they will give as much shade as trees fin the or dinary way of setting out would give that are fifteen or twenty years old The company gets a small elm tree, preferably digging this, roots and all. from the ground. The tree then is set. the top part being set into the ground. and the roots are left fin the air Tho tree then grows. forms roots on what originally was the top of the tree. and the original roots that now take the place of the branches begin to leaf out and form complete foliage very quick ly. Beautiful specimens of such in- verted trees are to be seen by the foun- tains in Kensington gardens, London.

 It is huge chamber, half as large as a tennis court. A wicker couch, two big cane arm chairs, two tables, a gi- gantic bed and chest of drawers con- stitute the furniture. The doors, the window shades and the walls for two feet down from the ceiling are lattice work, open to all the winds that blow. A door in front opens into the garden facing the savanna. In the courtyard behind tame white aigrets step daintily among the palms, and a parrot and toucan screech to each other from ad- joining cages.
