The modern method OF teaching
deaf mutes IL that known as the Bell
method Of visible speech. The charac-
tiers Of the alphabet on which this sys-
TEN Is founded are intended to reveal
to the eye the position OF the vocal or
gans IN the formation of any sound
which the human mouth can utter. Ar
ticulation Is learned by the deaf mute
as set of movements and sensations
in the organs Of speech. 1t Is taught
by the pointing out to the pupil the p0-
stions OF the lips. teeth and tongue In
pronouncing the vowels and couso-
nants by making him feel with his
hands all the percepuble movements
and vibrations Of the throat and other
organs which are requisite for their
pronunciation and by using diagrams.
etc. He is then required to initiate
those positions and to force Il quantity
Of air from the lungs sufficient to pro-
duce the sounds and is taught to read

ing the position of the organs and the

The Mills of tho Gods.

The expression "the mills OF the
gods" has been used in various forms.
According to "Bartlett's Quotations.
the first form Of the saying Is from
George Herbert's "Jacula Pendentum'
and Is ms follows: Gods mill grinds
slow, but sure"
In II. Won Logau's "Retribution,'
translated by Longfellow, tue senti-
ment appears as follows:
Though the mills of God grind slowly. yet
they grind exceeding small.
Though with patience he stands waiting.
with exactness grinds he all.
This quotation will be found among
Poetic AphorIsms," by Longfellow,
translated by him from the "Sinnge-
dichte" of Friedrich Won Logan. The
first line Of Won Lognu's is said to
have been taken from the Greek
"Oracula Slbylllna." WILL. IA, THE
mills of the gods grind slowly, but
they grind exceeding small"

Coast Guards In England.

Should coast guard In Great Britain
stationed at any particular place fall
In love there. say. with the village
beauty. his marriage is instantly fol-
lowed by his transfer to another and
generally far distant station. The rea-
son for this Is that In the old days,
when smuggling was universal at
small coast towns. the marriage Of a
coast guard with u girl living In the
locality was considered dangerous. as
II might interfere with him In the dis
charge of his duties should any Of the
smuggling parties be among his wife's
relatives. and regulation was framed
compelling the newly married man to
DO instantly transferred elsewhere. To
this day, therefore. and In places
where smuggling Is an unheard Of
practice. the unfortunate coast guard,
directly after his marriage. must drag
his wife away from the home Of her
youth and her family ties and dwell
where she could have little chance Of
revisiting her people.

Ice jackets have been found to be

cihc coast to all parts Of the world.
Thousands of tons of salmon are now

ton OF the ice jackets and the frozen
meat has been found to keep the fish
from becoming tainted. After the salm-
on are bled they are kept at TEN.

Curves of Japanese Roofs.

Western architects are often puzzled
by the origin of the Japanese roof
curve and the ease with which Japa-
nese carpenters can so accurately con-
struct what their architects design.
The curve Of japanese temple roof
is about as difficult line to draw as
man has contrived, but how the Japa-
nese artists themselves succeed so well
In reproducing it has never been ex-
planned Modern artists and writer's
see in these unique and beautiful
curves resemblance to the sagging
outlines of the primitive tents used
ages ago by the forefathers of the Jap
anese race, who dweit on the burning
plains of China, but there does not ap'
pear to be any evidence to support
such a conclusion. The curve Is a

of all natural curves, formed by CRAWL

struck by lightning had an altar erect

honored and avoided. mo one who has
been struck by lightning is excluded

One thing that convicts careless au-

the New York Times, is that none Of
them ever runs down traffic patrol
man. Hundreds and hundreds Of blue
coats are on crossing duty I'm New

they were not protected by their uni.

ardous. They stand in what for civil

sitions conceivable-right In the mid
die of the tide of traffic, with automo-
biles and motorcycles and other We
hicles passing them by dozens, scores,
hundreds, thousands, and on holidays
tens of thousands. There is nothing
to prevent any traffic policeman from
being crushed ut any moment OF his
days work. No matter how stout he
may be, his bulk could not stop an au-
tomObile. Yet the significant fact re-
mains that he is not run down.

New Braunfels, Texas A. and NJ
College Training Camp, Sept %
Sturdy athletes. graduates OF score
OF Texas high schools, anxious to de-
fend the football reputation OF the
A. and M. College in the first year OF
their enrolment, began to arrive here
Saturday. There were twenty here
last night, and today when the camp
opened there were between thirty and
forty men, including the first-year
men and the "old heads"
Coach Moran will arrive here not
later than today. and the two weeks
following will be strenuous ones for
those eager to represent the Texas
A. and NJ. on the gridiron. Captain
Beasley is in charge of the training
camp now, having been here for a
week getting the grounds and every
thing in shape for the candidates.
The camp is pitched at Giesecke's
camp on the banks of the Comal
River, and there Is not a prettier spot
In the State. Plenty OF good fishing
with clear running water for the
swimmers will offer recreation and
pleasure for the athletes.
Moran will begin the training with
a thorough study of the rules and in
handling the ball. Later in the week
the men will be given some stiff run
ming workouts and then signals viii
be run. A squad of six or seven OF
last years Southwestern champions
ship team will be back to represent
their alma mater, and these are eX-
pected to arrive here today Among
these Is Captain Bell of Dallas, star
halfback In addition to last years
men some of the fastest and headiest
players OF the State high schools have
filed applications for enrolment in
the college and will report here for
work.
Captain Beasley is expecting a tip
top squad. There is plenty of hard
work ahead of u.s. said Beasley to-
day. Il have seen good many of
the new men and they look good.
Those on the ground are fine speci-
mems OF young manhood, but 1t is
going to take a lot of good, hard
work on our part to get ready for the
opening game with Trinity Univer'
sity of Waxahachie, which will be
played at College October II. Coach
