OF Interest to Teachers.

The State Superintendent of Public
Education has addressed circular letter
to Superintendent Fortson, from which
we have been asked to make the fol-
lowing extracts:
I must urge that you employ, as far as
possible, legally qualified teachers.
2. That when you employ unqualified
teachers there be a definite understand
ing that they are to report for the
August examination and secure certifi-
Gates.
3. That you inform all unqualified
applicants, both white and negro, after
the August examination, that they are
Ineligible to teach until they have Sc
cured certificates. Several parishes per-
mitted unqualified teachers to continue
in their positions last year to the end of
the session. I shall withhold all State
funds from any parish which employs an
unqualified teacher, either white or
negro, next session. There is neither
threat nor unkindness in this statement.
l am simply emphasizing the fact that
all teachers in the public schools must
be qualified under our laws.

Resista nee to the Sun.

Animals whose capacity for thermal
regulation is limited, such as rabbits
and monkeys. rapidly succumb to ex-
posture to the tropical sun. In the
same circumstances the skin Of man
rises some or degrees q. above the
normal. Theoretically the black skin
of negro races should absorb more heat
than that Of the white people. How
ever. colored races are better able than
the white to regulate their temperature
under the influence Of the tropical sun
perhaps because perspiration is more
abundant The ape. although native
of the tropics, is less capable of resist
ing the sun than other animals and
even the white man. This is no doubt
attributable to the fact that its natural
home is In the forests. For certain
monkeys two hours OF exposure to the
tropical sun is fatal.

CAUGHT THE BUFFER.
De Wint's Clever Ruse That Sold One
Of His Paintings.

OF His Paintings.
Peter De Whit. the English land
scape painter was accustomed each
year TO have a semi.private show OF
his pictures before sending them to the
Water Color society's exhibition. On
such occasions his friends frequently
bought pictures, which. of course, ap.
peared at the public exhibition marked
sold"
Among the painters friends was a
wealthy man who wanted TO appear a
patron OF art aud at the same time
keep his money. he managed this by
loudly admiring the paintings already
sold. He was always a bit TOO late to
buy the pictures that pleased him
most. and having seen them. as he was
wont to declare. he could never content
himself with less beautiful works.
De Whit at last suspected the mans
sincerity. and when the next show day
came round he concluded to test him.
After plenty OF time had been allowed
for De WiDt's friends to make their
purchases the rich man arrived. As
usual. his eye soon fell on two per.
feet gems" marked Sold" Turning to
the artist. he said: Now, De Whit,
those are exactly. the things | should
like to possess. What pity they are
not to be had"
my dear sir" said the painter, slap
ping him on the back. II knew you
would like them. so put the tickets
on to keep them for you"
The awkwardness Of the situation
was only relieved when the enthusias-
tic admirer became the somewhat un-
willing purchaser Of the two gems

An Old Scotch Sundial.

Record is contained In the Bible of
a sundial set up in III B. G. by Ahaz to
commemorate the miraculous healing
of his son. Hezekiah. A very ancient
one was some time ago discovered ly.
ing in the grounds of the ruined castle
Of Finlarig. KILN. Perthshire. Scot
land. the ancient seat of the Breadal-
banes. Unlike most dials, 1t has twelve
planes for recording the hours and two
circular planes for use in summer and
winter respectively. For many centu-
ries the occupants of the castle deci-
phered its many angles as 1t stood
reared on tall pedestal, reflected In
the waters of a fountain. The interval
of nearly 1000 years between this dial
and that set up by Ahaz shows for how
long the dial held its own as an object
of utility.
