GEORGES BAD SPELL.
Washington Never Could Learn to
Write Some Words Correctly.


Whoever heard that the great George
Washington never could learn to spell
correctly?
You see il happened this way. When
George was quite a young boy he came
across a copy of an English book call
ed the Young Mans Companion"
written in plain and easy STYLE" as
the title stated, which taught one how
to write letters, wills. deeds, to sur
vey, to navigate, to build houses, to
make ink ana cider, how TO doctor the
sick and how to conduct oneself in so

THE "JlTNEY BUS.v
Five Cent Motorcar Ride Helps to
Solve City Transit Problems.

Five Cent Motorcar Ride Helps to
Solve City Transit Problems.
Jitney busses are the most recent of
transit experiments and have excited
much interest in the smaller American
cities recently. "Jitney'' Is slang. bor-
rowed from the Mexican for Il five cent
piece, and the only simon pure though
highly vanished jitney bus Is the one
that charges a five cent fare regardless
of it's size, make, power or the number
of passengers 1t may be carrying.
Starting in the cities of southern Cal
ifornia about the beginning of the year,
the Jitney bus idea has spread quickly
across the continent.
The jitney bus. of course, Is far from
popular with the street railway com
panies where it has won the approval
of the public. The first effort to stop
jitneys in the court has been made In
San Diego and has failed. The conten-
ton was raised in the superior court of
that city that jitneys could not be le-
gally operated without franchise. In
denying the petition for an injunction
Judge w. A. Sloan held that In the abb
sence of any physical appropriation of
the highway the jitney is not subject
TO the franchise laws. The right OF
the legislature TO enact a law giving
municipalities authority TO require fran
chises was not questioned, but Judge
Sloan said IL the city had right to
regulate jitneys by ordinance there
was no ground for injunction in the
absence of such ordinance.
Among the legal restrictions that may
be applied by city are prescribed
routes of travel, the number of passen-
gers carried by each vehicle the dis
tricts Of travel and the promotion Of
the highest efficiency and safety in
public transportation. The license pow
er is also capable Of adjustment within
reasonable bounds.
Judge Sloan held that there was an
absence OF authority in law TO Indicate
that the use of public highway in
the business OF Il common carrier of
either freight or passengers by stage
or omnibus lines had ever been treat
ed as an unusual or unauthorized use
requiring u franchise grant.

James C. Thomson, now of Milwau-

WATERING CITY TREES.
Practicable Method Described by In
vestigator Who Has Studied Subject.

Practicable Method Described by In
vestigator Who Has Studied Subject.
In recent issue of the Scientific
American" says correspondent of
that paper, appeared description OF
novel contrivance which Is being
used In Strnssburg, Germany, for APP
plying water to city trees in dry sea-
sons. The method therein described
of bending a perforated iron pipe
around the tree to be watered and
then attempting to saturate the hard
ground sufficiently for the needs OF Il
large tree by means of pouring water
into funnel and thence into the bent
and buried pipe, pierced with small
holes appears to be a most impractl-
cal and expensive method.
"Your correspondent has often had
occasion to apply water to planted
trees in an arid climate, and he has
been uniformly successful with the
simple expedient of boring one or more
holes with post auger, avoiding all
large roots, at q suitable distance from
the tree-say eighteen inches, more or
less, according to its age and to a
depth of two to three feet.
"'rhese holes. If more than one is
deemed necessary. should encircle the
tree equidistantly and be tamped full of
horse manure mixed with light stable
litter. which will be found to take up
water by the bucketful as fast as it
can be poured thereon, fertilizing and
softening the ground all around the
roots and retaining the moisture for a
long time.
"a dab Of hay can easily be added
ON top of any hole where settling takes
place BY this means the roots will
also receive an increase of moisture
during rainy seasons"

STREAKED WALLS.
Cold Surfaces Always Catch More Dust
Than Hot Ones.


The reason that lath and plaster
walls become strenked is explained by
John Aiken In Nature. as due to the
tendency OF hot air to deposit its dust
on cold surfaces, and the colder the
surface the weaker the power of re-
sistance. SO where the laths protect
the plaster from the cold outside the
plaster receives less deposit of dust
than where il is between the laths.
Wherever hot steam or water pipe
comes through wall vertical streak
OF dust may lie seen above it, dup to
the lot air driving the dust against the
cold wall. Rooms that are heated by
open CRATES are much less dusty than
those heated by radiators because in
the former the furniture Is heated
principally by radiation, and, being
warmer than the air, it repels the par
ticles of dust instead of catching them,
while in the latter the air heats the
furniture and in so doing deposits its
dust on it.
Rooms lighted by electricity keep
clean longer than those heated by gas
simply because the light is almost cold.
Mr.. Aitken sums ii up as follows;
ANY surface hotter than the air keeps
free from dust
coming IN Inrcngs.
