IMMUNITY FROM HOG CHOLERA
It seems probable that immunity
against cholera on the part Of the sire
has little to do with immunity on the
part Of the offspring. Work at the
Minnesott Experiment Station hal
shown quite clearly that pigs are bor1
with about the same degree Of i'm
munity as the mother had at the time
Of narrowing. This inherited immu'
nifty is gradually lost by the young
pigs, as rule, as they get heavier
and older, although occasionally suct
pig seems to remain permanently
immune. Owners Of highly immune
brood sows cannot depend upon in
herited immunity alone after the pig
are about i've weeks Of age. The
sows themselves are never permanent
II immune unless they are either m
tural immunes-which is rare or have
received actual infection. 9erum.only

Petrified Objects Are Common In Re.
eions Whers Limestone Prevails.
Petrifed objects are found In great
many sections Of the world. most Of
them in, sections where limestone is
prevalent
Petrihed wood is quite common. Bits
Of wood, pieces Of bark and small
twigs are the more common. but in
some places Whole logs are found, and
these are 60 well petrihed az to show
the bark as perfect as when the tree
was growing. Different kinds Of wood
petrify. It depends more on the
amount Of lime than on the quality Of
timber.
In Arizona whole trees are petrifed,
and, In fact, whole forests have been
turned into stone, and some wonderful
specimens are to be found there: The
petriAed trees are sometimes cut up
and converted into various articles of
value.
Fortified moss is found in many
places. It Is very beautiful. Petrided
grasses, leaves of trees and petrifled
nuts and fruits have been discovered
in some places. Petri6ed reptiles and
small animals have also been found.
Cobs from which the grains Of corn
have been removed make rather curl
GUS petrifcations. One Of the most Gu
rious found is that Of piece Of honey
comb turned into solid stone, but
showing every honey cell perfectly
shaped and equally distributed just as
the honey bees had built it. If the
comb had contained honey the water
had dissolved that, for the cells were
empty.
Fortified human remains are not un-
common. In some of the cemeteries In
sections where limestone prevails in
abundance bodies have been lifted to
move them to other cemeteries, and
they were found to be turned to stone.

THE SCARCITY OF TEACHERS.

June is a time Of stress for school
boards and superintendent, when va
cancfes occur in teaching forces, and
anxious candidates of more or less
rawnesS are scrutinized.
In spite of all the abundant facili-
ties offered by normal schools and coll
leges it is harder than ever to find
acceptable teachers. In many places
where it was once required that can
didates have had actual school exper-
fence, now the single condition of a
normal school training is made, often
not much as that.
The explanation is simply that other
fields are offering women more en-
couraging returns. The average
stenographer, who may not have had
a full high school course, who has to
pay from her own pocket for but
about six months training, probably
gets more than the average grade
school teacher, who must usually be
both a high and normal school grad
uate.
Furthermore business and profes-
sionaf fields are opening wider every
year to the feminine aspirant People
would be surprised did they know how
many women are running little farms
or market gardens, bake-shops mil
linery and dress-making establish
ments, restaurants and lunch rooms,
hotels, even newspapers. In these
fields, whatever brains and business
ability they have is not discounted on
