Fastest Travel on Record.

The researches made by physicists
of all centuries have proved that the
hertzian waves move with the same
speed as light, that is to say, at about
$4,000 miles a second.
Three French scholars, Mr.. Abra-
ham, professor at the Conservatoire
des Arts ct Meters; Major Ferrie and
Mr.. Dufour, have, under the auspices
of the bureau of longitudes, just de-
termined the speed of propagation OF
the hertzian waves between Paris and
Toulon Part of the result has been
calculated, and the speed found is
PCS, 900 kilometers to the second, with
a difference of less than one per cent
for each determination. in comparison
to the average.
They intend 10 measure this speed
between the Eiffel tower and the sta
ton OF wireless telegraphy at Wash
ington. while the longitude Of the
capital of the United States is being
determined.
Messrs. Abraham, Dufour and Ferrie
propose to continue their experiments
and to study the speed of the propa
cation of hertzian waves between two
points separated by the sea-

SteaIinq.

Stealing is a wholly silly business
at the best; but to steal in the post
Office, in a bank, or in any other or
ganized institution, is absolutely lido
tic. There is no surer road to state
prison than to steal from an organ
lied business; and the larger the bus
mess is the more complicated the bus
mess is, the smaller the possibility
that the thief can avoid that final de-
lection. The thief burrows around in
his little corner very much as mice
make ways for themselves under the
floors of a storehouse or a dwelling.
Both the thief and the mouse have
it all to themselves for a while, and
the thief at least thinks that nobody
Knows. But to think such thing
only shows that he is a fool. His op-
erations necessarily touch other peo-
pie, for otherwise he would find moth
ing to steal. They complain; the trap
is set for him; and merely by con-
tinuing to steal he walks into 1t and
is caught, just as the mouse is when
it's secret passageway finally opens
into the room it seeks to enter. The
man who steals once may escape, but
the man who makes a business OF
stealing is as certain to be caught as
he is to live. He has to quit stealing
or to die in order to avoid being
caught. 1t is dead sure thing

must apologize to my psychic readers
for repeating them, as no doubt most
of them take that admirable monthly,
writer in T. P.'s weekly says. In
olden days Welsh witches used to put
spells" on the animals of neighbors
who annoyed them. Ii COW was the
victim it would sicken of no apparent
disease, cease to give milk, and, if
the spell were not removed, would die.
The effect of ''witching" a pig was to
cause a curious kind of madness,
something like fit; this again ended
fatally unless a counter charm was
forthcoming. Quite recently l saw
one Of these charms quoted in To-
cal paper by collector of folklore.
An old witch living not far from
Llangalock Tin charlottesville :.
on one occasion when she had witched
a pig, was compelled subsequently to
unwitch the animal. She came and

"A noted WITCH" says Mr.. Lewis.
from my own hcne. She was known
as Mary Perllan Peter from the
name of her house, Perllan Peter,
deep down in thickly wooded ravine,
or dingle, as we call it in Cardigan
shire. This way Of designating indi-
/ viduals is common in our part of

chard' cperllan meaning orchard,
| though who Peter was I could never
! find out, and she was undoubtedly a
powerful one).
''Ore day she asked a neighbor to
bring her some corn which she re-
quired, and the man very unwillingly
consented as the path down to the
cottage was very steep and the corn
heavy to carry. On the way he split
some, and Mary was very angry and
muttered threats to her friend when
he left. And when he got back to his
home and went to the table, what was
his amazement to see his little mare
sitting like a pig" on her launches
and staring wildly before her. He
went to her, and pulling at the halter
tried to get her on her feet, but in
vain; she did not seem to be able to
move. Then the man, very frightened
bethought him Of the witch's threats
for he felt sure the mare was spell
bound. So he sent off, and when she
arrived she went straight up to the
animal and Moran zach, what ails
thee now?' was all she said, and the
mare jumped to her feet as well and
lively as ever"

SCHOOLS AND THE SUMMER VACATION.

x yHIIE DENYING extreme statements att w fributed to him. pr. P. P. Glaxton, United States Commi issioner of Education, to d8x ed his belief in continued school ac- ti@fty of some kind in summer months for most children
 sThe schools should provide some kind of instruction for the children through what is now, in most cities, long wasteful vacation. declares Dr. Claxton. He points out that school. takes at most 900 hours year out of g. flo walk ing urs-assuming 10 hours of sleep for chil- dren every night; the average child spends about 600 hours in school and the remaining 4 510 waking hours out of school. Df. Claxton suggests that summer work last not longer than four hours-fr0m ' or 8 o'clock to fl or f2 o'eloclz in the forenoon
 According to Dr. Cl8xton the school of the. future, both in summer and winter, will give less time to intensive school study of the orin- ary type-probably about 3 hours; and or 5 hours to productive work supervised by the school, done in shops, outdoor gardens, or in the home
 With this kind of an organization,' he de. clafes, @itwould be very easy for children to do ordinary school work hours a day, 6 days in the week, through Il calendar months in the year. and at the same time contribute largely 10 their own support by well directed produc- tive educational work, either at home or in the school, thus making it possible for the great ma 5ority of children to remain in school through out the high-school period.
 The cost of adding the three months Of school would be comparatively little. There would be no cost for fuel, the cost of attendance would be less, and the additional cost for teach CTS would not be in proportion to the number of days added. Whatever may be the terms Of the contract, teachers are in fact employed by the year. eComparatively few of them use the vacation mouths in any profitable way. An average addition Of $360 to the annual salary of city school teachers would require total of less than Q,O0ODOO, or about per cent. of the total annual cost of the schools For most teachers inc additional months would not be a hardship, especially if the school days were shortened. Certainly this is true if teachers could be relieved of a large amount of the uf- necessary Bookkeeping report making, and ex- animation reading with which they are now burdened.a'

Is that going to make the South Amer ican people friendly to us?

T~HOSE YALE BOYS, inc winning Yale de-
 bateHs who had the anti-suffrage side in the triangular Yale, Harvard and Princeton debate, know when to stop. They have decli1l- ed the challenge of the New York State Suffrage association, to debate suffrage with representa- lives of that body.
 It wouldn't be fair to these boy debaters, to pit them in such contest. The New York as sociation commands the services of some of the ablest women in the world. The contest would be slaughter.

BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

What about our shoes and stockings
be clothed now that skirts were never so
short? Do the hosiery men still offer the
colors of the rainbow with Roman stripes
and Scotch plaid thrown in? Are we to
draw attention to our ankles and disport
ourselves on the staid streets as though
we were on the garish beaches?
1t is not difficult to answer these 1ues-
tons. One does not have to go to Paris
to see startling stockings and shoes. They
are right in our midst, as the cub re-
porter is scoded for saying.
II is a gala time for the feet. Not only
the dance has exploited them. but the
dressmakers. Time was when wcmen
were ashamed of a foot that needed a
woman who wears this number would
feel herself almost a freak.
What by the way. is the reason for
the enlargement of women's feet" The
women themselves have not grown larger
in stature. nor have their hands increase sed
in size. Every part OF them seems to
have shrunk except their feet, and these
have grown TO proportions unthought OF
by our immediate ancestors A number
five is usual these days, and no one denies
wearing a number six and a half. The
southern women are the only ones who
retain small feet. and even these are not
what they were once on time.
And SO the situation is interesting 10
the student of the vanity of women One
would think they would refuse to draw
attenJI ion 10 the feet after they have ad-
mitted their size and know that slim,
small foot is the only one considered
lovely: for only the feet have changed
