lowed, and he was allowed to cable
only meager details Of what was being
done. During my visit to LIE Creusot,
on the contrary, everything possible
was done for me. I was lodged in the
clubhouse built by the Schneiders for
the occasional kings, war ministers and
generals who used to come to buy can
non. Everything was shown and ev-
erything explained clearly, except in
the case of this second new type Of
weapon. The secret Of it is most
jealously guarded; nothing Of it was
shown except a portion Of its carriage,
which gave me slight hint Of its
character. From what heard judge
that 1t will prove even a greater sur
prise to the Germans than its big sis
ter.
Reports from Essen are that 49,
900 men are now employed at the
Krupp works. On my trip I learned
that even a greater number Of men are
now working day and night in the
French arms and munitions factories,
not at LIE Creusot alone, but in the
Schneider company's minor works in
half a dozen other places and in gov
ernment arsenals. At the Ecole da
Pyrotechnie, or school Of explosives,
which l visited at Bourges, there are
10000 men and 5000 women. At the
Etat Major dArtillerie, also at Bourges,
there are 5000 men in the workshop.
At LIE Creusot there are nearly $1,000
scattered through the works, covering
LOO acres, all going at full speed, ex-
cept the locomotive shops, which have
been closed since the war began

Luek.-"Why. hello. old chap.
haven't seen you for a month OF
Fourthajulies?" cried one baldheaded
fellow, meeting white-whiskered
chap, according to the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
well, WELL" answered the other
waiting to get his breath and to re-
member where he's ever seen the
other before, though his face was IA
miliar and his manner even more so;
81 guess it's been a long time since
we run across one another"
1T sure is. How's all the family?
1 remember you had three pretty
good looking gals. What's become
Of 'em?"
"All got married off. One Of 'em
married a newspaper man. The sec
ond married an artist. And the third
she hooked up with a steel masnate." "
well, we'll! And which one mar
ried the most lucky?"
1.-The first two"
why so? How's that? The third
got the richest husband. didn't she?
Yes, but he has to support the
husbands Of the other two"

RURAL GRADED SCHOOLS
State Has 90 far Disbursed a Total Of
$4,000.


J. E. Swearingen, state superintend-
ent of education, has been busy since
April Is, paying out to the public
schools the six appropriations made
by the last general assembly.
The growth Of the educational sys-
tenn is nowhere better illustrated than
in the development Of the rural graded
schools" said Mr.. Swearingen.
For the scholastic year 1914-15, 399
school districts in 80 counties received
s94,S00.
These schools may be divided into
two classes:
l. Schools having an enrolment Of
so, an average attendance Of 80, q
term Of six months, two-room build
ing, q mill special tax and the min
imum equipment required by the state
board Of education, received 5000
state aid.
2. Schools having an enrolment Of
rs, an average attendance Of 40, a
three e-room building, a special tax Of
mills and the minimum equipment
required by the state board Of educa-
ton, receive $500 state aid.
Greenville county leads with Al
rural graded schools, receiving $4,000;
Anderson county comes second with
80 schools, receiving $7,7O0; Spartan
burg stands third with q schools, re-
ceiving $6,200
The amount of $s4,SOO paid these
schools was made up as follows: Bal
ance on hand, July 1, 1914, $4,000; ap-
preparation 1915, $4,000; contingent
fund for specially needed schools, $12,-
500.
Since the trustees in these rural dis
tricts had employed their teachers and
made their contracts for the session
1914-15 with the exception Of receiv-
ing aid under the rural graded school
law, the state superintendent Of educa-
ton deemed 1t advisable to use this
amount Of the contingent fund Of $780,
900 in maintaining the schools In these
communities that had already voted q
4 mill tax. The legislature increased
the contingent fund for needy schools
by $4,000. But for this increase these
progressive districts would not have
secured better buildings, an increased
teaching force or longer term. II this
rate Of increase Is kept up Mr.. Swear
ingen estimates that the number OF
rural graded schools next year will be
500. The taxpayers Of many districts
are now voting special 4 mill levies.
Mr.. Swearingen said that the one
teacher school has almost disappeared.
He said that Dorchester county was
the first in the state to secure local
tax levy in every district.
The following rural graded schools
will this year receive state aid, giving
the name Of the county, the number
Of schools in such county, and the total
amount Of money secured by state
aid:
Abbeville, 2, $500; Aiken, 4, $1,000;

Sizing Them Up.-The governor OF
a southern state came to his Office with
a friend one morning, to find a number
Of men waiting in the ante-room.
Pausing a moment he told a story that
was a decided chestnut" When they
got inside the private Office. the friend
said, THAT was horribly old one you
sprung on those fellows"
II know It," chuckled the governor,
but did you notice the ones that
laughed?"
We'll, 1 noticed that three or four
did"
Those" said the governor, ARE the
fellows who won't get in to see me.
They are the ones who have favors to
ask"

Not There, Either.-Win Beattie
the dean Of Kansas commercial trav-
elers, once attended a high-up social
gathering in Wichita He found him
self with a charming young woman
from the east. She was quite taken
with Beattie and finally she made
bold to ask:
What business are you in, Mr.
Beattie?"
I'm a commercial traveller" he re-
piled.
The young woman stepped back and
said, smilingly. I'm Holyoke, Mass.
Mr.. Beattie, commercial travellers
don't 60 in the best Of society"
Neither do they here said Beat
tie.
That was a good many years ago,
but at the last reports, the young
woman was still wondering.

Wanted to Pay Differenee.-The
arithmetic lesson that day had been
hard and trying, and now, at the
closing hour, Tommy stood before
the teacher, waiting to hear results.
Your last problem was wrong"
was the verdict. you will have to
stay after school and do it again."
Tommy looked at the clock. TEL
me, please, how much am out?" he
asked.
Your answer is two cents short"
Tommy's hand dived into the pock-
ct where his most treasured posses
sions were stored. Swiftly he sepa-
rated two pennies from a bunch OF
strings, a penknife. some marbles and
pieces Of chalk.
I'm in a hurry, SIR he said; ff
you don't mind, I'll pay the differ
ence."

He knew.-The teacher was giving
the geography class a lesson on the
cattle ranches. She spoke Of their
beef all coming from the west, and
wishing to test the children's obser-
walton, she asked
And what else comes to us from
these ranches?"
That was a poser. She looked at her
shoes, but no one took the hint. She
tried again.
What do we get from the cattle
besides beef?"
One boy eagerly raised his hand.
Il know what it is. It's tripe!" he
answered, triumphantly.

Speech by Wireless.

The transmission of the human voice
from New York to California, suggest
ing the likelihood that we may soon be
talking by wireless to the capitals of
Europe and the Orient, adds a new
stroke of magic to the wizardry of
electrical science. When io-communi-
cation began its appliances We're of the
crudest. Electrical oscillations pumped
into the ether could be received only
with the aid of 'coherer" filed with
fine metallic filings, and the instrument
had to be tapped frequently to restore
it to condition after being used An inn
provement in working speed was gained
by introducing telephone into the cir
cult, and by replacing the coherer with
"detector." But there was as yet moth
ing like speech. Letters of the alphabet
We're represented by combinations of
long and short sounds-faint buzzes of
variable duration, all of them regulat
ed in accordance with fixed code such
as is employed in ordinary telegraphy.
1t Is this kind of telephone supplement
TO wireless which makes possible the
call sent out by vessels at sea in dis
tress-three short sounds, three long
ones, followed by three others like the
first. This also Is the method in use
for the thousands of messages which
daily issue from radio-stations, public
and private. In the newest application
of il to wireless the telephone resumes
its natural function--fglres no longer
as an instrument for buzzing mere
sounds in response to electrical disturb !
