To Make Glass Tough.

The brittleness of glass is due to the
quick cooling of the hot substance 1t
is known that constant motion tends to
rearrange the molecule in any sub
stance. and a similar effect is observed
when glass is boiled in a weak solu-
ton of salt in water and allowed to
cool gradually. The toughness Of the
glass is increased very much. and the
effect Of quick heating is less disas-
trous to it This is eaSfy applied to ar
ticles such as glass globes for lighting
purposes and prevents much breakage.

not bad teaching, SAID speaker at
the recent meeting of school superin-
tendents, but teaching things the
twentieth century does not need"
High-school enrolment In South
Carolina has risen from 4,S12 to 1902
in the past 6 years, and the amount
paid for salaries of high-school teach
ers has more than doubled in the same
period.
Cincinnati has tried compulsory vo-
cational training and is we'll satisfied
with the result. The boys and girls
did not like it at first, apparently be-
cause of the compulsory feature, but
now seem to take to it with enthus-
iasm. The school authorities have had
the hearty cooperation of the manu-
facturers in the work.
The school system of Boise City,
Idaho. was recently reorganized on the
basis of a careful survey of the city's
needs made by committee of educa-
tional experts. So we'll satisfied were
the people of the city that a number
of them came to Superintendent Meek
and offered him 100 to 800 acres OF
land and half million dollars if he
would go further and develop the local
high school into an industrial city
college.
Mississippi has built 81 county
two years at an average cost of $780,
900 per school. These schools furnish
board and dormitory facilities for
$3.50 per month, and the boys and
girls are paid a certain amount per
hour for the work they do, so that in
most cases the expense to the pupil
is reduced to about SO per month.
More than million people took ad-
vantage of the educational trains
sent through the rural districts last
year by the state agricultural colleges
of 81 states, according to figures COM
piled by F. B. jerks, of the United
States Bureau of Education. In this
way the colleges have brought know
ledge of improved methods of farming
home to many who would probably
never have been reached in any other
way. The educational train usually
consists of 8 to 10 coaches, well sup
piled with exhibits and demonstration
apparatus, and in charge of practical
men who can talk interestingly on
the farmers real problems. The
stops made by these trains range from
two hours to half day. Four state
colleges-those in Texas, California
Louisiana and Oklahoma-report at
tendance at the stops of these educa-
tional trains of a hundred thousand
or more during the season. The Okla
homa institution takes the opportunity
to attach to the train a car containing
moving picture views of college &C.
Invites, thus cleverly attracting the
attention of the farm boy to the pos
sibilities of an education at the state
college.

Jet,

Jet, that substance from which
many articles Of ornament are made.
very closely resembles ordinary coal.
1t is formed, like coal. from wood and
vegetable matter. 1t differs from coal
In that it contains a mucn smaller
quantity OF earthly impurities. There
is soft jet and hard jet. but only the
latter is Of much use in the making of
ornamental articles.

Rudolph Declares
Wilson Has Made No
Mistake in Choice

Commissioner Rudolph this afternoon
expressed the belief that President Will
son has made no mistake in his selections
of Oliver p. Newman and Frederick l..
SiddOns to direct the affairs of the Dis
trct Of Columbia government for the
next three years.
Il have known Mr.. Siddons for many
years." said Mr.. Rudolph, during which
time he has always taken an active in
terest in matters looking toward civic
betterment in the National Capital |
am sure he will continue to work for
the city as well as for the people.
Il have known Mr.. Newman only about
three years. but he has always impressed
me being an active and energetic cit
iZen. With his experience as news
paperman. I have no doubt that he will
prove valuable addition to the board
of Commissioners of the District
When informed by the reporter for The
Star that the President had nominated
Mr.. Newman and Mr. Siddons, Col. Hard
ing said:
Il am glad to know that the matter
has been decided. and the new Commits
sioners have my hearty congra tulatiOEA
and assurance of cooperation with them
in all Of the manifold duties we have be-
fore My relations with the retiring
members of the board have been so uni
formly agreeable and satisfactory from
every point of view that l regret that
our associations must be severed"

WATCH ON PRISONERS
All Carefully Searched as They
Appear in Court for
Trial.

Every prisoner who appeared for trial
in the United States branch of the Po-
lice Court today was carefully searched
and closely watched during his hearing
by a deputy marshal, at the instance of
Assistant United States Attorney Ralph
Given, who prosecutes all cases in this
court.
This action was taken by Mr. Given
on account of the recent occurrence in
the Criminal Court. when Justice Stafford
and all of the court officers and specta-
tors in the room were terrified by the
running amuck of Ray NJ. Stewart. an
eighteen-year-old boy, who fired three
shots from revolver before being over
powered
The reason given by the prosecuting at
torney for his action is that some boy
or young man on trial in the court, with
his warped mind inf1amed by the ac-
counts of the sensational shooting a few
days ago, might try to reproduce the
scene. The prosecutors action does not
apply only to prisoners who have been at
liberty on bond pending their trials. as
was the case with young Stewart, but
also to those who have been brought
from the cells in the Police Court build
ing for their hearings.
Mr.. Given points out that it is easily
possible for a prisoners friend to con-
vey a gun to him, though he is locked
in the dock, without the knowledge of
any one else in the court room If the
shooting a few days ago had been staged
in the Police Court, owing to the some
what more crowded conditions there,
death or injury possibly would have re-
suited.

cox DEFENSE WINS POINT.
Witness Not Permitted to Answer
Prosecutions Vital Question.

CINCINNATI, June 26-In the trial of
George B. Cox. who is charged with mis-
applying $115,OOO of the funds of the
former Cincinnati Trust Company. Prose-
cutor Pogue yesterday asked George V.
Cutter,' former secretary of the Ford &
Johnson Chair Company, a witness, DO
you, or do you not, know whether the
Ford & Johnson Company was insolvent
at the time you were it's secretary?'
Attorneys for Cox objected to the wit
ness answering, declaring there was moth
ing to show that he was able to testify
as an expert Arguments grew extended
and Judge Caldwell announced he would
give his decision today.
Judge Caldwell today ruled that the de-
fense's objection to the question was
based on good grounds and ordered the
witness not to answer. Cutter remained
on the stand and read figures from the
books Of the Ford & Johnson Company,
tending to show the insolvency of the
company.
The state is expected to close its case
Monday or Tuesday. When court ad-
journs today it will be the last session
until Monday.

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS
INCREASE IN IMPORTANCE
Survey of Educational Legislation
for the Year Is Made by
j. c. Boykin.

Constant growth in the Importance of
the position OF state superintendent of
schools is reported by the United States
bureau of educa ton. In his survey of
the educational legislation for the year
}. c. Boykin declares:
The Importance OF the Office constant
ly increases. New duties and RESPONSE
bilties are steadily added and larger
salaries are offered to attract and hold
men of the caiber to make the position
in fact as we'll as in name the head
of the state educational system.
The tendencies are all in the directio
of increas sing the dignity. responsibility
and salary of the state superintendent
The legislation of the year contained
many instances in point. The commits
sioner of education in Massachusetts,
was authorized to approve bills for ex-
penditures from funds placed under the
direction of the board vi education. In
New Jersey the state commissioner Of
education now appoints all the county
superintendent. He also determines and
certities to the educational qualifications
of applicants for admission to medical
colleges.
I'm Virginia the state superintendent
is charged with similar duties in con-
nection with medical colleges.
p lin Kentucky ii was enacted that the
state superintendent shall act as special
state inspector and examiner OF all
schools In the state which receive public
funds; for this service he Is to receive
81 500 additional salary; he may appoint
two assistants at $1,000 each per annum,
with their expenses for travelling; and he
is allowed $1,000 additional for clerk
hire. In vague and general way the
superintendent probably had already the
power given him by this law. but IL is
now defEite and specific. and the addi-
tonal help given him will enable him
to perform his duties I'm an effective man
ner not possible hitherto. And the 81 800
added to his salary will prove to be q
difference that is very real
Although the tendency to increase the
power and responsibility of the state
superintendent is very strong, salary in
ducements have not always kept pace
with the requirements. according to the
report 1T is still unfortunately true"
says Mr.. Boykin. that In many cases the
superntendents of the large cities and
the heads of all the important institu-
tons in state receive considerably
higher salaries and have far more GER
tain tenure than the man who Is nom-
inally their ofiicial superior"
