public instruction, j. M. Martin, SUI

project was put on foo OF buying the
unframed pictures and having the
boys taking part in manual training
make the frames. 1t was to be q Case
in which. the boys did everything,
from measuring the pictures for
fame dimensions to. the putting in of
the screws, adjusting the wire and
hanging the completed work in place.
The manual training directors were
to oversee the work, while Miss Pal
mer was to give the benefit Of her

Expert, Are Trying
To Develop New Strain
OF Wheat For State

Fargo. n. d. April I'll. r. Wal
dron OF the agricultural college is
working to develop a new and better
variety of wheat than any yet pro-
duced for growth in North Dakota.
He believes that he has found a com-
binationa which promises we'll but it
will take five yearssof detailed work
and study to bring It to the point
where it will be ready for distribution
among farmers.
He ranged from Russia's wind
swept plains to the sun baked fields
Of India to get the combinations he
wanted. He is trying to incorporate
qualities of both kinds Of wheat so
that North Dakota's versatile climate
may exhibit either its Russian. or its
Indian side without affecting the
wheat.
The new strain is a cross between
Marquis and kota. The latter. IT.
self a new strain is reckoned one of
the best by agricultural college, men.
The proportion of the Kota-Mar-
quis wheat is about three quarters
Russian n one quarter Indian. One
Of its Marquis-is a mixture
Of Red Fife (Russian) and Hard Red
Calcutta Undian.) The ,other-Kota
lis believed to be the cross between
a Russian rust resistant durum and
a common Russian wheat. mixed by
accident or design in that country.
The object. of the combination is to
give a variety which shall. on on:
hand, be rust resistant, which Mar
quis is. not. and on the other shall be
better able han kota to stand hot
dry weather and shall have stronger
straw and KotA.

New Temperature Normals
Adopted In South Dakota

Pierre, S. D., April Recommending
today, new temperature normals will
be adopted to put in use at the Pierre
weather bureau office according to
an announcement Of H. T.. Goldman,
observer in charge. The new nor
mails have been compiled and issued
by the weather bureau at Washington
and are a decided improvement, Mr..
Collman says, over the normals for
merly used. ~
As temperature records become
longer, the local observer explains,
and as the temperature varies slight
ly from year to year it becomes nee
essary at intervals to readjust the
normals to figures that more readily
agree with the mean temperature.
These normal temperature figures are
the, result of a scientific formula
which v a. longer period of time
than. the mean temperature figures.
The old temperature normals used
here were issued in 1909 and because
the records from which they were
computed were shorter. discrepancies
between the normal and the mean
temperatures became rather large for
some months of the year.

The average attendance has also
been better than could have been
thought possible when the usual

to postpone less than a half a dozen
of the meetings and new dates were
filled at most of the points passed or

TOO MUCH EvEA FOR IMAGES
Statues on British Parliament Build

Climate Of London.

The outer walls Of the houses OF
parliament In London are crumbling.
Hundreds Of carved images, mostly Of
imaginary royal figures, have been un-
able to withstand the ravages Of the
weather, combined with the smoke
laden London atmosphere. They suffer
also from the lack of respect shown
them by hundreds Of pigeons which
roost on the scepter and sharpen their
beaks on the noses Of kings.
Scarcely a day passes but a mon
arch's hand or toe falls into Palace
yard. Not long ago kings head was
found In fragments on the terrace.
During the recess scaffoldlng Will
be erected and many workmen EN-
ployed, at a cost Of $55, 900, picking OF
the loose bits. Thus may one man In
a day uncrown scores Of kings.
Sir John Gllmour, who represents
the government department that looks
after public buildings, Is Of the opinion
that none Of the kings or other distin.
gulshed folk will be allowed to stick
II out much longer on the outer walls

OLD FORM OF TELEaRAPHINo
Crude Method Employed by Ancient
Peoples, but II Conveyed the De-
Ilred information.

Practical telegraphy is not SO en-
tirely product OF modern science as
many may suppose. II Is tradition that
Agamemnon telegraphed the fall Of
Troy to Greece by means Of bonfires on
the mountain tops. Although there may
be much doubt as to whether this Is
not mere legend, there can be no
question that In the second century
before Christ there was a system OF
telegraphlng In Europe by which mes
snges were sent from one place to
another by means Of fire. the words
being spelled out letter by letter.
The letters Of the alphabet were ar
rnnged In iiye columns, 80 that any
letter could be designated by stating
In what column II was contained and
It's number In that column. To convey
this Information to distance two
men, each having five torches, we're
stationed behind two barrlcades; the
first, by holding up the necessary mum.
Der Of torches, Indicated the number
Of the column that contained the let
ter he was sending, and the second In.
dlcated similarly the actual numerical
place Of the letter In that column. IL
Is evident that by n series OF stations
messages Of any length could have
been sent-say from Rome 10 Athena
