may be true but he will do so
much good work before then that
he will not mind losing that pay.

London Drug Turns
Sap Into a Samson

London.-The age of the su
perman is near. according to re-
search workers at a London hos
I,ital who have discovered a new
drug for which they make the
following claims:
It will prolong life, eliminate
fear. breed courage and stimu-
late the intellectual and physical
strength.
It will make sheep as strong
as oxen and cats as ferocious as
panthers. Already sheep and
cats treated with the drug have
fought and killed dogs.
1t will add ten years to the ay-
erage span Of life and produce
Il race of supermen.
We are afraid to contemplate
the ultimate physical and social
effects" one of the experiment
ers said.

Of taxes, but the spirit Of improve

not a voice was raised against it.

w. NJ. BELL CONCEIVES NEW
SCHOOL HOUSE MODEL vii
liam NJ. Bell, President of the
School Board, Notwithstanding his
time and inclination is mostly de-
voted to financial matters, takes a
lively interest in the education of
the children Of the town and have
the young idea properly taught
how to shoot On Friday night,
after the meeting Of tax payers
that was held at the school house
Of districts No 5 and II, for the
purpose of deciding on the con
struction Of new and more com
modious building. one that will ac-
commodate all the children Of the
town and more, too, Mr.. Bell, while
lying il bed the same night, con
ceived one Of the most or; ginal and
complete plans Of building adapt
ed for the purpose, which we will
attempt to describe The building
consists Of four wings, two stories,
with windows on the sides and
ends, the ends of each wing to join
and Octagon shaped room or ro-
tunda that will run to the top Of
the four wings and be capped with
a steeple, tower, or dome. There
are four entrances to the rotunda.
From the rotunda each of the
school rooms is entered on the first
floor. To gain access to the rooms
on the second floor, a passageway
will have to be constructed all the
way around the octagon shaped
room and stairways leading there
to. erected diagonally, SO that
ready ingress and egress may be
had to each room. An excavation
need only be made under the ro-
tunda for a furnace. At the top
Of the octagon, center room can
be arranged, very airy and well
lighted, which may be used as an
observatory or a room for the
meetings of the board of school di-
rectors. Here, then would be
quite large rooms, with a seating
capacity of about 500 pupils. In
the tower or steeple may be locat-
ed a clock and an alarm or call
bell. Mr.. Bell estimates the cost
Of such a building at about $4,000.
The four wings, he thinks can be
erected at a cost of about 81, 500
each. The roof should be either of
slate or tin and the passageway
leading to the upper stories of
galvanized iron, while the floor of
