Where the Earth's Crust Is Thinnest.

Italy is visited by an excessive
number OF earthquakes and volcanic
disturbances because 1t Is the newest
part of the earth's surface" declares

gist OF authority. People. especially
those living in the western hemis-
phere, look upon Europe aud all OF the
eastern hemisphere, In fact, as the "old
world" which. taken one way, IL right.
But In the matter Of the formation OF
the earth's crust. which biologists now
agree Is the result Of the cooling Of the
great molten mass that makes our
earth. It so happened that the section
round about Italy was the last to cool
and consequently has not yet cooled to
80 great depth as other portions OF
the world This. then. makes Italy
the newest part OF the worlds surface.

FATIGuE Am scn0nL MnRk.

DROFESSOR w II. HECK, OF the University Of Vir-
ginia, has been conducting experiments. first in
New York City and later in Lynchburg. va. for the
purpose of determining how the work of children in
school is Influenced by fatigue. In the April num-
ber OF the Psychological Clinic Professor Heck says
that an importeat consideration greater decrease
IN efficiency shown by the boys than by the girls lie
adds that this difference is even noticeable in the
greater rcstlcssncss OF the boys during the tests
Professor Heck by his experiments has been seeking
answer TO two chief questions. One is "If chill
dren are tired out az the end Of a school day is IL
really because they fatgned by school work.
or rs II because they bored Or confined in badly
ventilated rooms, have physical defects OF are not
properly cared for at home?0 Professor Heck SAYS
that complete tables OF the sixteen class averages
we're made Of the results by the boys and the girls
and the general percentages etc. were cal
culaed The boys showed increase In quantity Of
014 per cent and decrease quality Of 425 per cent;
the girls showed increase in quantity OF per cent
and decrease in quality Of 1896 per cent The boys
showed increase in quality 0456s times that by
the girls and decrease in quality 216S times that
by the girls The results Of the twenty-five minute
tests in Lynchburg he says greatly strengthen the
conclusions from the ten minute tests in New York
The decrease in efficiency must have been due in part
to unhygienic conditions in school home and chill
dren; but however much OF this attribute
TO fatigue the fatigue is still slight almost
negligible in hygionic school environment except in
regard to the few easily fatigued individuals.
Such findings by educator OF eminence arc Of gen
era interest and think our Board OF Educa
tion, the president Of which is an educational
progressive, might with profit TO the children take
them up for consideration and discussion.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Secret Which She Did
Not Reveal to Her Husband
By HoIIsud

One afternoon shortly before the
meeting Of the Republican national
convention in 1880 at Chicago. Thur
low Weed entertained a few persons
who met at his home in New York
city with some "reminiscences of men
who. thirty or forty years before,
had been conspicuous in political life,
some of whom had a great part in the
national policies of that earlier day.
81 was thinking the other day, -
said Mr.. Weed, "of queer expert
ence of mine at a time when ! was
journoymau printer i'm Central New
York. ] presume | have not thought
of this experience for at least thirty
years. What brought il to my mind
l do not know. ! was associated
with Ambrose l.. Jordan. who was
In his time conspicuous among the
leading members of the American bar
and very Influential in the politics
Of New York State. He served one
term as attorney general in New
York, and l always recall his nomi-
nation and his election with a good
deal Of personal satisfaction, al
though ! had not thought of General
Jordan, as say. for more than
thirty years.
Il was journeyman printer in the
town of Cobleskill, n. ". shortly be-
fore ] went to Rochester to engage
in newspaper work. One day the
constable came to me with a warrant
for my arrest. The constable was a
friend of mine and he told me that
he would do anything in his power
to help me. ] asked him If he would
find someone who would so bail for
me-"
IL was arrested on the charge OF
young woman. who swore that she
had been roughly treated and made
fun of upon the public highway She
asserted that her feelings we're great
ly hurt. I was glad that it was not
a more serious charge, and still I
felt that it was no slight matter for
me to be hailed before the justice of
the court, charged with conduct un-
becoming a gentleman.
Il waived an examination and my
constable friend secured for me a
bond. In that way | was bound over
for appearance before the court, which
was to sit at the county seat OF
Cooperstown about two months later.
81 felt humiliated. Notwithstanding
I knew | was perfectly innocent OF
the charge. l had never seen the
young woman
Therefore I went to Syracuse. and
/ walked all the way back from Syra-
cuse TO Cooperstown, so as to be
present when my case was called. To
my surprise a lawyer whom | knew
by name as one of the leading law
yers in central New York. told me he
would befriend me- He was succe ss-
full in the defense, partly because
when the young woman was asked to
identify me while she was on the
witness stand she at once said that
] was not the young man who had
given her the serious annoyance
Some one had told her that the guilty
party was Thurlow Weed. but she
testified that was not the person
of whom she complained.

charged. The lawyer who defended
me was Ambrose l.. Jordan told
him that ! could not pay him much,
but if he would defer payment |
would save money enough I'm the

my astonishment he replied that there
was no bill to pay.

great lawyer. Years later. at state
