Methods of Making Them Grow In Use
on the Florida Coast.
Biscayne bay. Sugar Loaf key, An
clote keys and Key West, on the Flor
ida coast, are the principal places in
this country where experiments in
sponge culture have been made. The
various methods are as follows:
seed" sponges are cut into small
pieces and, after having been attached
by wiring or spindle to circular or tri-
angular cement blockss are dropped or
lowered depending upon the depth to
rest on the ocean bottom, where they
remain for a year or two until they
reach size proper for commercial pur-
poses. They are then taken by the
hook, when new cuttings are attached
and the cement blocks let down again.
Another method was to string them
on a wire held horizontal BY stakes
driven in the bottom. In doing this.
however. various difficulties arose The
sponges became loose and rotated on
the wire, enlarging the hole made
through them. and the action of the
salt water corrOded and destroyed the
wires until. after many trials and ex-
periments. a lead wire with a copper
core was successfully used.-St. Mich

Borden's Daughter Found in Boston

Boston, April 26.-Miss Ramona,
daughter of Gail Borden, the million
aire condensed milk manufacturer,
who disappeared from :, New Jersey
sanitarium several days ago, was
found this afternoon by Detectives
Smith and Burns in a fashionable
residence in the Back Bay. Miss
Borden was found in company with
the Misses Gladys and Violet Shell
don, nieces of Mrs. Helen White.
Announcement to this effect was
made here this afternoon by repre-
sentatives of Borden.
Borden authorized his business
manager here to state that he would
not press a prosecution. 1t was
learned today that Mrs. Helen White
was with the girl until yesterday,
when she disappeared. Borden and
his daughter will remain here to-
night.
The girl is said to be a mental
and physical wreck as result of her
experience.

sidered and solemn an act of duty
and worshipful devotion by some un-

responsibility and expose it to possi-

decided that if any warrior present
should, of his own free will, desire
to preserve the child and personally
suffer the consequences, he might
do so, and the remainder of the
small council would bear witness of
the fact in behalf of the nation. =
The leader of the troupe formally

to his feet, adjusting his dress and
weapons for travel, placing the little
girl on his shoulder and starting,

took their turn at carrying the new

of travel the party finally reached

adopted to the tribe, grew-to woman

True to their vital pr.Aciple of
heredity and inasmuch as new blood
had been introduced into the tribe, a
new clan had to be and was created
for the descendants of The woman

the tribe. This clan, the eighth, was
named the Holly clan, and later be-
came perhaps the most noted and
numerous of the whole.

Shank Indicted by Josephine Grand
Jury,


Grants Pass, April 26.-Elmer
Shank, a former real estate agent
and orchardist of Grants Pass, was
indicted by the grand jury before its
adjournment on a charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses, and
bench warrant was issued for his
arrest. Shank had been in the city
during the week, but had returned
to Portland, where he is low living,
the night Before.
The indictment comes through al
legged Irregularities in a business
transaction which Shank had with
Bird Sisson, proprietor Of the DOL
lar ranch" 1t is claimed that Sis
son gave Shank a note for 500 dat
ed November 5, 1910 The note was
sold by Shank to E. Erickson, but
Sisson claims that, not knowing this,
he gave Shank property valued at
$25 to apply on the note, taking
Shank's receipt therefor. Later he
was required to make full settlement
with Erickson, the payment to Shank
never having been credited.
An indictment was also returned
against H. l.. Akerill, charged with
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. 1t is alleged that a draft
which Charles Trefethan of Kerby
cashed for Akerill was valueless.
The amount involved is So.

No Reward For = Tin Mine.

For some unknown reason there is a
widely prevalent idea that the United
States offers reward for the discov-
ery of tin mine that can be worked
at a profit. Many letters are received
by the geological survey every year
asking about this supposed reward.
Where the rumor started Is unknown.
but it seems to be fostered by un-
scrupulous or ignorant persons who
have mining stock to-. .sell. The sur.
vey's officials say that the United
States does not offer and so far as
known to them never has offered a
reward for the discovery Of tin mine
or any other mine.

Would Do What He Could.

Judge: The legislature of a west
ern state contains this year several
women members. At recent ban
quet they were invited to speak, but
all with one accord began to make
excuses, and one of the men was
asked to represent them. He ac-
cepted, saying that he was willing to
do so, so far as in him lay, but that
his case was similar to that of a
naughty little girl who was told that
il she didn't behave she would be

Lived With Cannibals

Cannibals, yes. but the most splendid
gentlemen in the world, is the description
given of the negroes of Central Africa by
Dan Crawford author of 1''Thinking
Black" who has just arrived here on the
Olympic.
Mr.. Crawford had lived among the cam
nibals for % years till, he claims, he is
as much a negro as they are.
Il live with the Luban tribe" he said
100000 strong. They are the most splen-
did gentlemen l ever knew, armed to their
finger tips with polish and chivalry, says
the New York Globe.
They have a wonderful language,
which l am getting into grammatical
form in book | am preparing. Just
think of a language where nouns have
10 genders and verbs % lenses. They are
cannibals, yet never in the history of
Africa or cannibalism has woman been
known to eat human flesh
Their religion is one of sex. They
view sex as the basis of life, and, there
fore. deserving of worship. They have
rites that are rude and unprintable, but
when understood they are the most solemn
on earth.

against it, and fighting for monogamy.

HE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL-NO /

The essential difference in the early pub
lc school and that OF the present day is
nused primarily by the different aims of
be two The modern public school holds
be school of the past. The earlier school
sas narrow, aiming to teach only certain
hven literary subjects and not really in
luencing the life of its pupils. The new
chcol has broader view and endeavors
teach not merely reading, spelling and
Friting. but living The grammar grade
tudies are no longer the all-absorbing
oncern of the public school Rather they
gre considered one of the factors which
he school may employ in its work of de-
teloping all the faculties of the child and
# teaching him how to live. Where they
lnce were the first consideration of
chools and occupied the first place they
ire now rivaled by other things which
% long neglected are now recognized as
,eing equally as important
The changes in curriculum and in all
phases of school life came slowly. That
hey have come by degrees is an indica-
don of their having been tested and de-
iberately accepted instead of being thrust
nto the course regardless of their rela-
i've importance. The first steps toward
lhe modern school were not only intro
luctions of new subjects and new depart
hents. but also the Improvement of the
Did. The usual grammar grade studies
IRE now taught in more practical and
more logical ways. Teachers study meth
DDS of presenting topics in the manner
which will be most readily grasped by the
,upil and in the manner which from a
psychological standpoint will be most

ology in the abstract is no longer taught.
Instead, local conditions. local instances
and local requirements and provisions for
the protection and conservation of health
are introduced to illustrate the laws Of
health, and the pupils understand that
their text book on physiology is no formi-
dable thing, but a story telling them how
TO take care of their strength and health
Scientifically Planned
Another measure in the matter of the
physical welfare of the school child of to-
xay is the scientifically planned school
house where proper regard is given to
light, heating and ventilation. Our own
state requires that all school boards re-
ceivng state aid in the erection of school
houses use the state adopted plans for
the school buildings. thus making sure
that these properly built school houses
Will replace those which give less atten-
tion to physical comfort. In recognition
OF the serious injury which may result
from improper lighting, fenestration re-
ce1ves careful attention. A simple device
FOR ventilation is the board placed in the
opening made by raising the lower win
dow sash few inches, keeping out a
draft while there is space between the
two sashes for fresh air. Some schools
include in their distribution of time for
the various studies, 10 or 90 minutes a day

readily understood. The child is no
longer left TO struggle for himself and
learn by note what he cannot compre-
hend. The intention in this is not to pre-
sent subjects in the easiest way and to re-
lieve pupils from all mental exertion but
to present them in the most logical way
and in the way best suited to their men,
tai ability.
Text Books More Attractive
Text books have been made more at
tractive in subject matter and in it's pre-
sentation. Clear type, good paper. col
ored plates and prints from famous
paintings are features of the new school
books. The arithmetics show. geometrf-
cal figures, measures weights and va
rious scales; physiologies are illustrated
with appropriate charts and pictures. and
histories and Biographies show maps and
views relating to the text. The geopra-
phies will hold the attention of those who
have long since laid aside their owD
school books The subject matter is
very interesting. and in connection with
the study of each continent country, or
group of states, are maps showing the
political diversions and others which are
photographed from relief maps, and pic
lures of products, industries. home life
and customs. No child can find these
books dull or unattractive
The study of grammar is now preceded
by language lessons. Sentence building,
memory gems and simple composition
are employed to prepare primary pupils
for more advanced work later In the
course. Text books on history and seog
raphy are not used until the pupils have
had several years experience in biogra-
