NeW Glasses In
General Science

One of the most interesting class

schools of this city, and which
shows the progressive spirit and
the attempt to get away from
stcreotypcd routine that A. p.
Shiblcy, city superintendent, is try
ing to introduce into the local
schools is the general science work
which some of the eighth grade
students at the Wilson school are
taking.
In telling today of the class work,
Miss Nora Eplor, who is in charge.
spoke of the interest which the
young people themselves bring to
the work, and how they fill their
hour each week with searching for
information about various natural
phenomena which interest them.
One of the, studies from which
much benefit has been derived is
that which showed to the eager
young investigators the germs which
lurk on pencils and hands when they
are not kept in the highest possible
state of cleanliness. A bacteria
culture was made, using q potato
which had been rendered sterile by
boiling, The growth of the bacteria
resulting after bringing it in con
tact with soiled objects convinced
the eXperimentors more fully than
would hours of book study that
cleanliness is essential.
A study of weeds has been start
ed, and already l6 varieties have
been placed in the collection as Il
result of search on the vacant
block across, from the new court
house site.
Much interest has been shown in
Il study of birds of this locality,
aud ii. Il. kimball, of the physical
education and manual training de
parlment, is cooperating with Miss
Epler N furnishing information on
this subject.

METEORITE
SOUGHT IN
ARIZONA

~ HOENIX, Ariz.-Efforts to
- locate the lost meteorite In
l. Meteor mountain, in Coco
nino county, 100 miles north or
here, have been resumed, accord
ing to announcement here by the
State tax commission.
Preparations are being made
by the company owning the min
ing claims surrounding the cavity
made by the falling meteor to
sink a shaft 500 feet south Of the
cavity in an attempt to find the
mass of metal which is believed
to be in the cavity.
The hole made by the falling
meteor is said to be about 4,40O
feet in diameter and TOO to 1000
feet deep, and it is believed that
several thousand tons of metal
containing platinum, nickel, and
other precious metal remain
somewhere near the hole. The
composition Of the metal in the
meteor has been determined by
assays made of fragments of the
meteor picked up on the aide of
the hole and scattered on the
surface Of the ground near the
hole.
From a distance the hole can
not be seen, but after one climbs
an incline the hole opens abruptly
to view. Efforts to find the
meteorite have been made at fire.
quent intervals for many years,
but drilling made to the bottom
Of the hole have failed to reveal
it. Recently the company owning
the claim sank drill on the
south rim of the crater, and at a
depth of 1900 feet the drill be-
came lodged in some substance,
and all efforts to withdraw it
have failed.
Biologists who have made a
study Of the place have expressed
an opinion that the meteor, be-
lieVed to have been the largest
that has ever fallen within the
State, after reaching q depth of
600 to 500 feet, slipped off to the
side, due to some peculiar strata
of the earth at the place, and
those recently exploring the
mound are of the opinion that
the drill has become lodged in the
metal OF the meteorite.

easily in her breast the heaviest
secrets of state.
Adam was the original blab:
the first tell-tale, and we are not
proud of him. With the DREAMY
appealing eyes of Eve upon him
she was created for his COM
fort and pleasure-even as she
stood by his side, loving, and

the wrecked cad said, "The wom-
an gave me and l did eat" This
reprehensible act of our distin-
guished forefather cannot be ex-
cused by any gentleman who
knows what is due to a lady.
Adam s conduct would have
caused his name to be stricken
from the list of every decent
club in the country. And since
that day, woman has stood by
man, faithful, true, and ready to
give up all for his sake. She
hides his puny pictadilloes from
the world, she CLOSES over his
wrecked misdemeanors, and she
keeps silent when a world would
pierce his inflated greatness, and
leave him a shriveled and shrunk-

And man says that woman

Let him be thankful that she

The Wheeler
n T is time to call a halt upon
those who persisently circu-
late the alleged joke that a
woman cannot keep a secret. No
baser ingratitude has been shown
by man toward the fair Sex than
the PRONUNCIATION of this false re-
port. Whenever a would-be hu-
morous man makes use of this
antiquated chestnut which his
fellow men feel in duy bound to
applaud, the face of the woman
takes on a strange, inscrutable,
plying smile that few men ever
read.
The truth is that it is only
women who can keep a secret.
Only a divine intelligence can
understand the marvellous power
with which ninety-nine married
women out of a hundred sue
cessfully hide from the rest of
the world the secret that they
have bound themselves to some
thing unworthy of pure and sac
rificing love they have given
them. She may whisper to her
neighbor that Mrs. Jones has
turned her old silk dress twice,
but if she has in her breast any
thing affecting those she loves,
the gods themselves could not
drag it from her.
