Society at Grand Forks. But though
this article is Of q historical nature, it
was not the meeting Of that society
which forms our text, but rather the
meeting ct the same date OF the State
Educational Association.
| At the latter meeting there were re.
gistered about 1900 teachers. Besides
these there were very large number of
othsr people who were more or less in
terested in educational matters. At
that meeting it was stated BY State
Superintendent Taylor that there are
now IN this state of North Dakota about
Il 600 teachers.

SPOKANE-A sled, driven by an ar nroneller for the transportation or mails in Alaska, is the invention of l. S. McGregor, of Spokane. who will leave shortly for St. Michael. Alaska with the first completed model Of the new invention. The machine, known as the Gale power sled, was built at the Novelty Carriage works and the motor, which was formerly used In Curtis bipiane here, is of the eight cylinder air cooled type, generating A horsepower.
 The new sled Is 13 feet long and the widets part is three feet. The body IS made of 22-gauge steel. The drawings provide for five passengers. or for l47 cubic feet of carrying capacity. The runners of the machine are detacha- ble and are four inches in width. Two runners. six feet long. are attached to the front of the machine, and one five feet long in the rear.

 In Europe, in the days of the spear and sword horseman kept to the left in meeting anyone in order that he might have his adversary. if such he proved to be, on the free or right.
 In this country horseback was the first general mode of travel because of the almost impossible roads. A horse man in meeting his adversary kept to the right in order to have the enemy on the protected side. the horses body and neck forming shield and his own body protecting his gun arm.
 Traffic custom did not become defin- iteiy crystaiized until the advent of the automobile, and then in Europe the driver sat on the right side. In Europe the arrangement was all right because with the reverse traffic regulations the driver was close to the vehicle he was passing.

FEARS THE ORIENT.

If the western nations were to dis arm as one of the results of the pres- ent war. there would be real danger of the oriental nations becoming domi- nant, according to ex-Senator Bever- idge, of Indiana.
 Thirty years ago." said MT. Bever- idge. that white man would have been scoffed at who predicted an arm ed. war-like and triumphant Japan. Yet by the sword Japan has won the mas tery of the east. China is now being 'reorganized and again made militant by capable power Does anyone doubt, therefore. that if the white races were to disarm, Oriental domina : tion would follow? What nation is akin to all other Occidental nations :? Is it not the United States? The slo- gan of world peace the guarantee of the preservation of the civilization of Shakespeare and Goethe, Moliere and Dante is this: Get together, men of the Occident. If we remain separate we may be in danger. If we combine we are secure''

A newly patented alloy of iron, boron carbon and copper is claimed to be practically no-corrOsive. and, while hard and tough, it can be rolled into healing. In preparing the metal. boron is added to copper in greater amount than will combine. Added to iron or steel. the mixture forms a homogeneous alloy; and so parts of Bessemer scrap with 20 of the copper boron mixture give metal that yields perfect and easily worked castings in ordinary moulds.

The venom of the poisonous serpents that swarm the damp, hot forests of Brazil is very curiously not affected by the antidote serum of Dr. Calmette, of Lille, and special serums for the pre- vention and cure of the effects of Bra zilion snake bites are prepared by Dr. Vital Brazifs 7O0-acre Serotherapic In- stitute. Different venoms are produced by the two chief families of snakes the Bothrops and the Crotales An ac- count by Dr. Jacques Boyer states that the BOthrops venom decomposes the blood and causes internal demorrhage with great congestion of liver. kidneys and brain. and the venom of the Gro tales. or rattlesnakes. paralyZes respir ation. circulation usually causing death within "A hours. Serums are prepared for each of these poisons. a third-compound or polyvolent-being made effective for any bite where the kind of snake Is unknown. The in stitute keeps it's snakes in shelters in 6 water enclosed park. and healthy horses and asses are injected with their venom in increasing doses every five or six days for a year The animals thus immunized suply antidote serum for a long period. Besides serums for plague. diphtheria and tetanus, the In stitute in 1913 distributed about 900 tubes of rattlesnake serum. 800 of Bo- throps. and 4,50O of polyvalent. and 1t received 4.500 snakes.

In the new radioscopic surgery of the war hospitals the surgeon Is guided by the shadow of the bullet instead of by an X-ray picture. The special equip ment designed by Dr. Wullyamoz in- cludes the X-ray stand, with Il 1uoro- scope, and surgical instruments differ ing from the ordinary in being bent at a right angle. The patient Is so placed that the X-rays projected upward from the bulb in the stand pass through the wounded part and fall upon the fluoro- scopic screen. First locating the bull let accurately by observations from different angles, the surgeon guides his probe so that the shadow at it's point touches the shadow of the bullet, then cuts the skin, and, adjusting his for ceps by the shadows, press 1t vertical ly downward. Opening the forceps and grasping the foreign body, any kind of bullet of shell fragment can be removed in less than minute.

Haphazard invention has brought to the United States results so marvel ous that one can only vaguely wonder what limits of achievement will be reached in the dawning era of sci entific research by trained specialists with apparatus of the highest type. The resarch laboratory of the Gen eral Electric Company has already put upon the market such epoch making products as drawn tungsten wire. the nltrogen-filed lamp and the Coolidge X-ray tube and has just made known the 'kenotron" rectifier for high-pressure electric currents, Based upon a curious effect noted by Edison, the kenotron has been worked out chiefly by pr. Irving Langmuir A metal plate is sealed into a vacuum bulb with a carbon or tungsten fili- ment and a current passes across the high vacuum when the filament is charged negatively by an electric cur rent and the plate positively, but when the fllament is made positive no current passes. The so-called her mionic current is attributed to the pas sage of a stream of electrons or nega- lively charged particles about 1900 times smaller than hydrogen atoms The kenotron changes, alternating into direct currents very effectively, but so far has been chiefly useful for produc- ing small direct currents at very high volta ges, as for X-ray work, precipitat- ing dust etc.
