ADVANCE MOVE IN AGRI-
 CULTURAL TRAINING

Spokane, Washington, Feb. 25.-An advanced move in the line of high school agricultural training has been made by the establishment in Spokane of an experiment station in connec- tion with the North Central high school. Two acres of land have been granted for the purpose by the park board. Thomas A. Bonser, head of the department of agriculture plans to conduct experiments with corn, wheat, potatoes, oats, grasses, vege- tables and flowers. The department is one of the most popular at the school, its classes being enrolled to capacity and many have been refused admittance for lack of accommoda- tions. This is the first city school in the Pacific northwest to establish an experimental farm, although some of the smaller towns are doing experi- mental and practical work in agricul- ture.

REMARKABLE CASE IN
 THE SUPREME COURT Two Women Claim 10 be Legal Wives of Frank Miller and as such are Entitled to His Estate. Miller
 Died in Scott County.

Little Rock, Feb. 25.-One of the most remarkable cases that has come before the Arkansas Supreme Court has just been filed on appeal from the Scott Circuit Court. It is the case of J. M. Evatt, administrator of the estate of Frank Miller, vs Anna Mier Cor Miller) ct al
 Two women one of whom claims that the other, is her sister, claim to have been the legal wives of Frank Miller, and as such entitled to his estate.
 Miller died in Scott County in Ap- Til II, 1911.
 It is set forth in the evidence that Annie Uher married Frank Mier. known in Scott county as Frank Mil Ter, in Brazos county, Texas, Feb Is, 1885. After the birth of their first son, now a party to the suit, her hus- band left her. They had been mar ried by Catholic priest She was told by her brother that her husband had left with her sister, Ludmilla Uher, who had lived at their home. Fifteen years later, says Anna Miller, her sister returned, offered to shake hands with her and give her money if she would forgive her for what she had done, but she refused to do so. Anna Miller sued fer the estate, and it was awarded to her and her son, by the ,ower court, as there was no record that she had ever been divorced from Miller. She admitted that after Miller left her, however, she had liv- ed with w. w. Cooper, and later with Joe Richardson, as wife, and has several children by Cooper.
 Mrs. Ludmilla Miller says that she does not think Anna Miller is her sis ter, who is older than she and does not look like her. She says that she was legally married to him, but their mar riage license was burned. They lived at Talihina, Oklahoma for a number of years, and they have four children.

There is incarcerated in the Pulaski county jail, as a Federal prisoner, Robert A. Hearn, a young man who faces charge of sending an obscene letter to young society woman of Baltimore This beardless youth is the son of Methodist missionary to China, and was suspended from Hen- drix college short time before his arrest, for not living up to the rules of the institution. Young Hearn has a younger brother in Hendrix study ing for the ministry. He does not seem to appreciate his predicament, nor to fear the outcome, seeming to consider the letter which caused his arrest masterpiece. His case seems to be one of where missionaries are sometimes needed at home.

London,s First Stone Bridge.

London only gained it's true position and importance when the first bridge replaced the ferry across the Thames. The first stone bridge there seems to have been begun in 1176; there had previously been g wooden structure. 1t is said that King John, pleased with the bridges that he saw in France. brought over a. skilled French work man, and he decided to raise the neces- sary revenue from the rent of houses built upon this bridge. Its arches were narrow. sometimes causing ac- cidents to boats passing beneath; and occasionally whole blocks of honses. falling into disrepair. would topple over into the stream There were twenty arches. one forming draw bridge. Many reasons made a draw bridge desirable-not only the passing of nasted vessels, but the power of raising it against an enemy.-Milwau- kee Sentinel.

Musical Possibilities.


 Modern composers who lack the fac ulty of creating original melodies sometimes try to console themselves with the reflection that the melodic possibilities have been exhausted. How far this is from being true Dr. Ralph Dunstan has shown: Even with such q short musical form as the Anglican single chant. which consists in it's sim pie statement of the notes, no less than 6O.O0O.00O different melodies are possible, without regarding the multi tudinous differences formed by passing and auxiliary notes. harmonies and rhythmicaI aceentuation. Supposing only one In a hundred of these tones to be musically interesting. we have 8 possible repertory of 100000 single chants. And if this be true Of such a simple and restricted form Of melo- dy, with what overwhelming force does it apply to4 longer and more inn portant compositions!'

Air Pressure InTunneIs.


 The enects of air resistance are well shown in the twelve and half mile Simplon tunnel, where an exception ally high amount of energy is required for running the electric trains. The tunnel. which is fifteen feet wide and eighteen feet high. with a sectional area of 25O square feet, has a ventilat- ing current of 3,53O cubic feet of air per second, maintained by two blast fans at the Brigue end and two ex- haust fans at IseI1e. Trains going with this current encounter less resistance than in open air up to fifteen and a half miles an hour, but sat higher speeds or in the opposite direction the resistance is much greater than out side. Coasting by gravity down the seven per 1000 maximum gradient, a train, even though going with the cur rent. cannot exceed thirty five miles an hour on account of the braking by the air.

Queer Tricks of Memory.

In later life Emerson's memory play ed him some strange tricks. James Cabot, his biographer, says that he met him one day in the streets of Bos- ton apparently at loss for something and asked him where he was going. .aTo dine" said Emerson. with an old and very dear friend I know where she lives, but I hope you won't ask me her name.'' Then he went on to de scribe her as .tthe mother Of the wife of the young man-the tall man-who speaks so well,''' and so on until Cabot guessed to whom he was referring This failing led to pathetic scene at Longfellow's funeral. After gazing long at the face of his lifelong friend as he lay in his coffin Emerson said to a bystander, That gentleman was a sweet, beautiful soul, but I have en- tire1y forgotten his name."

Manoled Names.


 remember one London critic telling me. writes B. N. in the Birmingham Post, how he had wired to a Glasgow paper the news that the great Nikisch had just arrived and would conduct the London Symphony orchestra on such and such date. The telegraph op- orator, as usual. spelled the unfamiliar name along the line of least resistance. The Glasgow subeditor. not being musical man. had never heard of Nikisch. but. as the adjective great" was prefxed to the name, he naturally assumed, that he must be Scotchman. so the Glasgow public was informed the next day that the great McKfsh had arriv in London.
 I remember also London colleague reduced to state of collapse by dis covering that he had been made to say that Andrew Black had sung .sNinepin Andrew" instead of Mon piu andraf."
