NO MONTHLY
REPORT CARDS

Pupils in the Stadium High
school will be in the dark as to
their rating on scholarship during
half of the term this year, accord
ing to an innovation in report sys-
TENS begun by Principal H. +.
Hunt. Instead of the monthly re-
port card that has been given out
to pupils formerly, there will b0
only two reports during the term.
The High school chorus and or
chestra will begin regular prac-
tfce tomorrow. The musical or

pronounced successes last year,
and 1t is believed that even a
larger membership will be OBJ
tanned for the coming season.

clear the name of an honorable
woman" said Col. Clarence H.

arrival here recently from Paris.

Merriam, U. s. A., of charges
filed in a divorce complaint by the
captain, of indiscretions with me-"

of the most sensational scandals

NEUTRAL WATERS.

According to old fishermen, there IL

or, rather, neutral water, in rivers.
where there is no use OF trying to make
a catch unless It be that some fool fish
with piscatorial brainstorm snatches
bait as an insane human might grab

This neutral water Is the part OF
the river where its flow encounters the

of the bay or ocean into which It final.
ly empties With the ebb and the flow
OF the tide the salt water Of the bay
runs up into the river for miles, and
on the reverse the fresh water de-
scends several miles again to the bay
leading into the salt sea.
There is a midway between the salt
and fresh water points, however, that
very seldom shifts. Around this mid
way shad and blue and other salt wa

on the ocean side On the fresh water
fringe will loiter such fish as inhabit

Puzzlins Relics Of Ancient Ways Of
Living In Ireland

Curious underground passages called
"souterrains" exist IN many parts Of
Ulster They are built or dug a few
feet below the ground and laid out
with chambers and possible hiding
places or boting. holes. according to
more or less well defined plans They
are not large enough for a man to
stand upright Ia He would have TO
crawl on bis hands aud knees TO ex-
plore them or TO make use Of them In
any way
Some districts are hOneycombed with
them What could they have been
used fory Not for living in, though
primitive pottery has been found in
them; not for the dead. though some
Etruscan burial places were not dis.
similar, because no bones have been
found: possibly for refugees Some Of
the souteTalns are fifty TO seventy feet
long.
Irish and local tradition attribute
them TO the fairies. the good people,
the Danes-like the Essex Dene-holes,
which are probably only chalk pits-or,
In rare instances, TO the Picts, But the
Danes referred to by the Irish coun.

One branch of ingenuity is displayed
in the plans they make to communi-

FORCE OF GRAVITY.
N Makes You Fall Faster In Boston

Did you know that YOU drop" faster
In Massachusetts than In MexicOl
For instance. IL you were TO fall from
twenty story building in Boston you
would descend lot faster than II you
fell from the same height in the City
Of Mexico.
The principle OF this is quite simple,
even if il does seem a bit startling IL
is merely that as one goes toward the
equator the force Of gravity gets less
and less and the quickness Of descent
OF a falling body slower; and, while
doubtless you would feel just as un-
comfortable falling that distance In
one place as in another and the results
would be just as disastrous, there are
times and things In which the diffef-
ence Is not only perceptible, but worth
a notice.

zontally with a rife and your gun were
sixteen feet from the ground the bu-
LET fired would reach the ground one
second after it had left the rife But
II you were 10 take that same rife TO
