The Reform School.

me EerO'm ScHOoI. -4
When one looks over the exhibits Of
the reform school and sees what is
accomplishedsby the inmates, he can
not help being impressed with the fact
that much good is, done in teaching
thrift and accomplishment to the in
mates. There are most beautiful pieces
Of furniture made by the boys. There
is tailored clothing made by them.
There is fancy work, canned fruit and
vegetables, and other work done by
the girls. Besides these, the reform
school has a fine garden and farm,
where vegetables and grain are raised
in abundance and which 60 a long
ways toward the maintenance of the
institution. Not only does this assist
in the support of the institution, but it
trains the boys and girls in this institu-
ton the habit Of thrift, besides fitting
them for self support when released.
They are also given certain hours for
study in all the common branches Of
school. y
The Feeble Minded.
This institution cares for the feeble
minded children, and assists them to
a wonderful degree in learning. They
are taught Both mental and mechanical
subjects. Besides regular exercises
which develop the mind and teach
them the rudiments of common edu'
cation, the inmates are taught basket
work, needle work, brush making and
a score Of other useful and ornamen-
tai art! which are easy and entertain
ing spastimes and do much toward
making this unfortunate c:ass helpful
to themselves and others.
Good Work by the Board.
The present Board Of Control has
<1ren in charge of these institutions for
about one and one-half years and dur
ing thar time has accomplished won
ders. Economy has been practiced,
many improvements have been made
III the buildings, the standard cf living
has Been raised to a higher r'arc, and
the inmates placed in a position to &C
-on1plisl1 much more in their daily
work,
These exhibits which are at the eS-
IRENE end of the ease wing, second
floor, are we'll worth the time and
study of all and not only speak much
for the inmates, but volumes for the
board of control, and the men in i'm
mediate charge Of the institutions,
These different institutions new
er were in better shape, and are being
improved right along. The people Of
North Dakota are to be congratulated
upon the excellence of their special
schools, asylums and prisons, and the
displays at the exposition are IN en-
dorsement of the highest character for
the managers and especially for the
board OF control which has them in
complete charge. More could not be
accomplished in these institutions un-
der the surrounding circumstances
than has been accomplished by the
present board and all who can attend
the exposition, and specially the edu-
Gators now in the city, should call and
view these exhibits.

consumed every day. Nearly all the

The P~enitentiary.
: Tn the p~enitentiary display are the
various kinds of fiber used in the
making of the Irvine. There is fiber
from Java, the Philippines and from
Mexico. There are also balls Of Irvine
showing the finished product. There
are samples of the baking which is
done in the penitentiary kitchen and
which are as good as anyone could ask
for. There are to be seen the beautl-
full pieces. of cabinet art which were
made by the inmates of the pen. The
vegetable display is complete and
abundant. The penitentiary farm is
conducted on the latest methods and
its products show the care and dill
gence exercised in the management
and the work of this part of the In
stitution. There are also samples of
brick made by the inmates of the peni-
tertiary. Every man in the North
Dakota penitentiary is given a chance
to learn some useful trade, and when
he is released his producing power has
been much increased and in many
cases where the man has no accomp-
lishments when he enters, he comes
from the prison the master of a good
trade which makes him not only able
to earn good wages, but an improved
member of society.
ASYLUM for the Blind.
1t is really interesting to note what
has been accomplished by the inmates
bf the blind asylum. There are ex-
hibits Of brooms, baskets, mat and
wicker work, which are so neat and
that it is almost unbelievable
that such can be accomplished by those
who cannot see. There are also mag
azines for the blind on exhibition
showing the punched, or raised, letters.
That is, the characters which indicate
the letters, and4these& are read by touch
almost as rapidly as print is with the

NOTED INVENTOR MAKES A NEW
SUBMARINE BOAT WHICH CAN
REMAIN UNDER WATER FOR
MONTHS SHOULD CiRCUM-
STANCES REQUIRE IT.
AIR EXTRACTED FROM WATER
SECRETARY DANIELS MAKES AN
INSPECTION OF THE NEW WAR
MACHINE, AND EXPRESSES
HIS APPROVAL OF ITS WON
OERFUl FEATURES.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Josephus
Daniels, secretary OF the navy. made
an inspection today of Thomas Edi-
sons new submarine boat, which
promises to become the most dread
ed device ever made for marine war
fare. The submarine has just been
completed and its tests indicate
that ii will be able to remain under
water for an indefinite time.
According to Mr.. Edison's ideas.
the new submarine will be able to
remain under the ocean for months
at a time for the crew will be pro
vided with air extracted from the
water.
In the new submarine is a machine
for the extraction of air from the
water. In this air-eXtracting process
potash and other chemicals are used,
and the result is a mixture of both
oxygen and hydrogen in proportion
to the amounts commonly found in
atmosphere.
The new war machine will be
much like a fish when it is placed
in commission, for it will be able
to travel for indefinite distances
under the water. and will have the
ability, as other submarines do, of
raising and lowering itself at will,
by condensing or enlarging the air
chambers.
BY the use of this submarine boat,
If it accomplishes what its prelimin-
ary tests indicate. naval warfare will
take on new terroTs. for a fleet of
these can steal upon big battleships
and destroy them by shooting torpe-
dos at their hulls under the water.
Mr.. Edison has been working on
the new submarine for a long time,
and he predicts that his air-eXtract-
ing apparatus will prove all that is
expected of it. The new submarine
will undergo some changes before
il is given any more tests.

War Scenes Said
To Harm Children

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Although
the school authorities seem anxious
enough for public school children
to see pictures of the European war,
because they believe that they will
stimulate love of peace in addition
to their educational value, all at
tempts to display films that show the
sacrifice of human life will be fought
vigorously.
Children of tender sensibilities in
variably are upset after seeing such
movies it has been found, and the
effect upon their nervous system
can often be noticed for several
days afterward. If the attempt to
censor war pictures succeeds. then
it is probable that the fight against
the blood and thunder novels will
be renewed with greater vigor.

in behalf of his candidacy for re-
election He will then go by a
launch from this place to Cordova,
and after speaking there and at other
places along the route of the Copper
River & Northwestern railroad, will
go by way of the trail to Fairbanks.
Since arriving here, Mr. Wicker
sham told friend that he is sure
the next house of representatives
will be Republican, and that he did
not think it was good policy for
him to come out as a Democrat.
Ballaine and Rosene. promoters

Wickersham's reelection. Mr. Wick
ersham will go to Kennecott, where
Stephen Birch controls many votes,
to speak before he starts across the
trail for Fairbanks. Every Guggen-
helm town along the Copper river
road went strong for Wickersham
last year.
The Democratic organization of
Valdez is working hard for the sue
cess of Charles E. Bunnell, Demo-
cratic nominee for delegate to con-
gress. The members are determined
to prove to the administration in
Washington that the people of Alas
ka are appreciative of the work ac-
complished for Alaska since Presi-
dent Wilson was elected, and to ac-
complish this they assert that it
will be necessary for Alaska to send
a delegate to congress who is in
harmony with the political views of
the administration.

After completing the capture
Of Antwerp, the Germans have
sent a detachment Of the army
to attack Ghent, in the hope
that King Albert, who is max
ing that his headquarters, will
fall into the hands Of the Ger
mans.
In taking the city Of Antwerp,
the Germans failed to guard the
railroad bridges leading from
the city, and, as result, the
full Belgian army that had TAX
en- part in the defense Of the
city escaped. The escaping BEL
gians started for Ghent, and on
the way attacked a force Of Ger.
mans that were encountered.
Advices from Berlin state that
the plan Of the Germans is to
take possession Of the Belgian
and French coasts and prepare
to make an attack later upon
England.
There is but little news from,
the battle line in France. It is
reported that GehefdI VlSott, OF
the German army, was repulsed
when he made an attack upon the
allies positions. Many people
were killed in Paris when Ger
man airshps dropped 20 bombs
on the streets.
Advices from Vienna state that
the Austrians are successful in
driving the Russians back at
various points. IT is asserted
that the Russians have been driv-
en- out Of Hungary and have
been forced back in Galicia be-
yond the VistuIa river.
A report is sent out from Rus
sia that the Germans have all
been driven out Of the province
