SCHOLARSHIPS
EYED ASKANCE

Tightening of the screws on
local schools offering scholarships
to Washington public high schools
will probably result from the rec
concentrations in regard to au-
thorization of scholarships now
pending before the Board of Ed
ucation, it was indicated today.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, Superin-
tendent of schools, has recon-
mended to the school body that
in view of the fact that some
of the institutions are deemed
unworthy of the privilege, a new
policy be instituted.
The question arose over the
application of a local school,
which DR.. Ballou feels should not
be permitted to offer scholar
ships in the Washington high
schools.
Scholarships, DR.. Ballou points
out, are offered to promote the
interests of the institutions Civ
ing them. When the board &C
ceptS the scholarships it gives an
implied Endorsement of the in
StitutionS, he said.

The plight of the railroads was
presented by DR.. Julius H. Par

railway economics, who said the
carriers as a whole failed to earn
their fixed charges this year by
a considerable margin.
The net deficit, he said,
amounted to $169.000,000 during
the first nine months of 1882 and
appears likely to approach $780,
100000 for the year. During these
nine months 122 roads operated

scars which are believed by many
investigators to have been pro-

The most famous Of these is
Meteor Crater" near Canon
Diablo, Ariz., which is a cup
shaped crater having a diameter
of three quarters of a mile and
a depth of $40 feet.
Now aerial MOSAIC maps and
studies reveal a number of large,
smoothly elliptical depressions,
averaging approximately one-half
a mile in length, over the Atlantic
coastal plan in an area Of 100000
square miles.
The impact of a shower Of
meteors on the coastal plain is
suggested as the agent which
caused these depressions or scars,
which are locally termed bays.

% 0N.S0.-An inadequacy in
conditions for seeing is manifested
in the useless expenditure Of
energy.
In a recent research an ap-
praiSal was made of the energy
expended in useless work by meas
uring the nervous muscular ten
sion developed incidental to read
ing a well-printed book. Unknown
to the subjects, the tension or
strain in the fingers of the left
hand was automatically recorded.
This was accomplished by hav-
ing the fingers of the. left hand
rest comfortably upon the broad
knob of concealed key. The
results of a long series of tests
upon many subjects showed that
nervous muscular nSion, as
measured, was approximately so
per cent greater for the lower
level of illumination than it was
for the higher.
The pressure unconsciouSly ex-
erted upon the key averaged SO
grams for a level of illumination
of one-foot candle and 43 grams
for the 100-foot candle level. This
is the first extensive research to
yield quantitative measurements
of the advantages of lighting
levels far above threshold condi-
