The idea of Prosecuting Attorney Bo b Rodgers collecting in excess of S1270 a month costs" from the gamblers of Little Rock and Ar genta alone, as is shown in the Little Rock Gazette of Thursday, should cause the Arkansas Leg islature to change the plan just q little.

A NEW STUDY FOR TEACHERS.

It is often asserted that we must have better teachers: the teachers assert that they must have better wages. Society de- mands better service from teach CTS; teachers say that they are now giving more service than they are paid for. Superin- tendents urge teachers to go to training schools; the teachers re- tort that they must stay at home and make living. Taxpayers exclaim, "The way we are taxed is outrageousn' Educators say, "AIl the property of the state must be taxed to educate all the children of the state.
 So the question of efficient teachers and taxation are con- stantIy before the house. And, since they seem to be related questions, why should not teach CTS become better acquainted with the subject of taxation. A recent discussion at an institute demonstrated the fact that many teachers know very little about the subject of taxation in general

An excel lent way for a teacher to begin the study of taxes is for him to study the operation of the rev. enue laws in his own district. If he will work out answers to the questions below, he will have an excellent start in the subject, and what he learns will enable him to talk intelligently and con- vincingly to the directors on the subjects of taxes, salary and school improvements.

 The three authors of the bill and MT. Josephs, of Miller county, argued in support of the bill, and MT. Sain, of Howard, opposed the measure. The advocates of the electric chair argued that it is a much more humane method of execution that hanging, is more economical and in eyeryway more de- sirable.

All executions shall be conducted by the superintendent or some assistant designated by him.

WHAT'S INSIDE AN APPLET

Structure Of Fruit 10 More Complex
Than 10 Generally Supposed.
The inside of an apple is to most
people merely a delicious whitish pulp
and a few brown seeds In a more or
less edible core wrapped up in a pref
tily colored skin. The real structure
Of the apple is by no means SO simple.
A scientific examination shows It to be
far more complex. The accompanying
photograph shows a cross section Of a
Baldwin apple. 1t has been treated
first with alcohol and then with cedar
oil to make the structure of the differ
ent parts show up better in the photo
graph.
The outer part, marked A, which IL
the part generally considered the fruit,
the part that is eaten, Is really CORE
spending to the outer wood Of a tree or
the stem of a plant, while the real fruit
Is the part marked D, known scientif-
cally as the carpet, the dark triangular
marks in the middle Of the photograph.

NOVEL FIRE ExTINGUISHER.

Great Mass Of Foam.

Combination Of Two Chemicals Forme
Great Mass Of Foam.
Recognizing the efficiency Of foam as
a al Of extinguishing oil fires, two
types Of patented foam extinguishers
have been tested at the New York navy
yard and adopted for installation on
oil burning warships. One type is
small enough to be portable, while the
other Is much larger and designed to
be installed permanently in the fire
room.
The foam extinguishers involve the
use of two liquids, which must be kept
separated until required for s When
mixed they combine chemically to form
a heavy foam having a volume of
about eight times that of the combined
liquids, this increase being due to the
carbon dioxide gas generated and in
closed in the bubbles of the foam. It
retains its foamy character for some
time and is sufficiently fluid to flow
readily over an oil surface on which 1t
is liberated, shutting of the air and
thus smothering the fire. At the same
time it Is sufficiently tenacious to stick
against any upright surface.

treats the subject in a thoroughly SCI
entifc manner, going into careful de-
tail as to the structure Of the different
parts of the apple and their relation
with Il view to establishing his conten-
ton that pollination, for instance, of a
yellow apple with pollen from a red
apple affects the inner fruit rather
than the exterior.

Bean For Dry Climates.

A new variety Of bean adapted for
dry climates was discovered under in
teresting circumstances by Professor
r. W. Clothier Of the University of
Arizona, as reported by him in a re-
cent magazine article. During a 1900
mile wagon journey over the deserts
and mountains Of Arizona in the sum-
mer Of 1908 he visited the Papago In
dams and obtained from them several
hundred brownish yellow beans Of an
unknown variety. These were grown
on experimental plots at the Arizona
experiment station for four years be-
fore the discovery was announced. 1t
appears that the new bean. which has
been named "tepary," is nor prolific
under dry conditions than any other
known variety, yielding as high as $50
pounds to the acre with no water 9th
or than the scanty rainfall Of Arizona.
Under the same conditions ordinary
beans yield only from &C to IA pounds
to the acre.

Possibilities Of Powdered Coal.

Possibilities Of Powdered Coal.
Powdered coal blown under a boiler
before it has a chance to settle is q
new possibility for railroad engines.
The coal Is ground into such a fine dust
that it can be handled in pipes much
the same as oil fuel for locomotives.
SO far 1t has been used but little ex-
cept in furnaces for some kinds OF
metal work, but the application Of 1t to
locomotives Is being given much study.
The advantages Of powdered coal lie
in the fact that it Is easily handled by
machinery, that it burns with compar-
atively little smoke, that it is free from
ash and that it means less loss up the
chimney, easy control and large capac-
ity. There are objections to it. OF
course. Most serious among these is
the cost of powdering the coal. with
the incidental problems Of dust explo'
sions and deterioration.
