 SEATTLE. July POP. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of educa- ton. in his address yesterday after noon on "the Functions of the United States Bureau of Education" before tho Washington University summer school. brought out the interesting fact that four years ago he worked actively for President Henry Suzzal- 10 as the man best fitted to guide the educational destinies of the nation in the position which Commissioner Claxton now holds.
 Dr. Claxton summarized the aims and ideals of his departsnent under six heads: "That the federal bureau shall be @ clearing house for informa- ton regarding every phase of educa- tion in this country and abroad; that 1t shall catalogue the opinions of ex- that 1t shall join in any educational interest; that it shall give advice in response to the 10000 letters address ed to the bureau yearly on educational problems; that it shall record the va rious methods employed in teaching; that it shall joini in any educational propaganda likely to bring about an improvement in the educational con- ditions of the United States. and that 1t shall endeavor to afford equal edu- cational opportunities to an, regard less of race or condition"
 Would Advance Teachers.
 Commissioner Claxton also outlined the plans of the bureau for the reor- ganization of the elementary grades. so that teachers might be promoted with their classes. and the remodel ing of the smaller colleges. so that they may become tributary to the universities. instead of attempting. as many of them do at present. prepara- tory and university work.
 Another important aim of the de- partment." said Commissioner Clax- ton, "is to encourage the establish brary, with the schools as distribut- ment in each county of a central li- ing points"
 "The United States is already in ad- vance Of other countries in certain important phases of education" he concluded, "and when the connagra- tion in Europe has finally subsided, we may find ourselves the educational leaders of the world" - Seattle Times.)

Editor Garvin of the Pal Mall Ga zette says: Germany at last is op- enlng her grand attempt not merely to sweep across Eastern Europe. but to enyelop and destroy the Cars ar mics so as to open the path to Fur. key and Asia. Russia's tack is one of gigantic difficulty and we shall see how the Grand Duke and the Russian nation are to cope with 1t. They know that if they get through the next month in safety they will be afterward invulnerable If the Grand Dukes cen. tral armies could be enveloped and destroyed. an effort would undoubted. ly be made to sweep to Kiev and the Black Sea and to break through the Balkans and join hands with the Turk, now in dire need. If the Ger. mans fail in their supreme effort dur. ing the next few weeks or months, they must fail altogether, both by sea and land.

A FAMOUS SUBMARINE.

sidered a Marvel.
 Le Diable Marin (the Sea DeviD was one of the most famous of the nine teenth century submarines. It was the invention of Wilhelm Bauer, who launched 1t in 1856.
 This vessel was built of iron. She was ffty-twO feet long, twelve feet wide and eleven feet deep and shaped somewhat like a dolphin. Her sides were sN-tenths of an inch thick and could resist the pressure of a 15O foot column of water.
 The motive power was provided by a screw, which was operated by a treadmill. and the up or down motion was achieved by shifting water in lon gitudinal tanks by means of pistons.
 At the bow was a bomb or torpedo containing fifty pounds of powder, and near it were two heavy India rubber gloves. by means of which q man in- side the vessel could reach out and fastcn the bomb to the bottom or side of a ship To purify the mir Bauer ar ranged long pipes. which were quite effective in revivifying the stale air for a short time.
 The Russian government supplied him with q crew of eighteen men, who were to make a trial trip with him, but on his first descent they were so alarmed as to be useless. and when the DiabIe Marin rose again to the sur face they cried, Praise he 10 GOd!'
 When his men were more acCustom- ed to the work Bauer executed many wonderful mancUvcrs and on one occa- sion stayed under water while he wrote letters to his mother, King Max imilian of Bavaria and the Grand Duke COnstantinc.-BOst Globe.

SIGNS OF RAIN.
Simple Things That Tell Us When a
 Storm Ia Brewing.

Simple Things That Tell Us When
 Storm Ia Brewing.
 On the subject of predicting rain, Rol- lin Lynds Hartt in the Woman's Home Companion writes in part as follows:
 "There are plenty of sOundly scien- tifc weather signs that are right be- fore our eyes and vOuched for by the best meteorolOgists. For instance, the ring around the moOn,' which is pro duced by a thin, filmy cloud made up of minute particles of tce-a state of things not built to last. Either some unlocked for commotion will put stop to 1t in a different manner, or 1t will pour eats and dogs within three days at most In eighty-six cases out of hundred the rule holds good. A still better sign is the ring around the sun.'
 "Thls is science, pure and simple, and so Is the old maxim: The farther the sight the nearer the rain It is not pessimism that makes people along the coast predict downpour when they can pick out the separate houses on a faraway island, or people in mountain ous regions call it too good to last when a distant peak, generally. invisi- ble, comes into view. They are shrewd meteorologists In making these pre- dictions, and also in declaring that sounds carry better when a rainstorm is brewing.
 "Of all nice, convincing weather signs, however, a 'sickening sky Is pretty nearly the most reliable. When

 "We had bully time on the trip and visited Victoria, seattle, Tacoma, Portland, san Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Grand Can yon and Denver before reaching home on August 9th.

the deep warm blue grows paler, and then whitlsh, and your spirits drop, and shadows fray at the edges and disap- pear, then you have a sickenIng sky. Rain is not being brought up ready made from afar. 1t is being manufac- tured directly overhead.
