This sort of stufl.’ is neither arithmetic nor mathematics nor com- mon sense, It is an opportunity for wasting the precious learning time of a child and disgusting him with study.” Useless Studies. Professor Oliver Lodge, an English educator, complains that the examples given in many school arithmetics are of no practical value. “Many sums in compound multiplication and division,” he says, “are of this characterâ€"acres, roods and poles: drams, pennyweights and scruples. Such sums are surely unknown in any actual business. They may be called concrete examples, but many of them are artificial, stupid and depressing. A machine could be con- trivcd to do them, but it would be use- less. When things like them are want- ed, as they may be, in some simpler form, by a housekeeper or ghnnkmnm- tug such a weight about with me?” he said. "Why. that will not be prohibi- tive," said his companion. “Here is the whole bag of tricks,” and he tossed a handful across the table. It consist- ed merely of a clip for the nostrils and “cots" for the tips of the thumbs and fingers.

A little while 'agoca man on his travels round the world stopped for a day to see what was toward at the fishing ground. and the friend who entertain- ed him suggested that as a memento of his visit he should take home with him a complete outfit of the typical pearl diver. “Good gracious, how could I A Pearl Diver’s Outfit. That £160,000 which has resulted from the Ceylon pearl fishing season just closed constitutes a record of which those engaged in the enterprise may well be proud. The money is, for Then a dam was constructed about the well so as to hold water, and a heavy stream was turned into it. The steam again extinguished the flames, and this time the accumulated water kept them down. â€"Bartlesville Examin- er. This method failed, but another at- tempt with one end of the pipes turn- ed directly up with the flow of gas succeeded, and the blaze was smother- ed. However, the victory was short lived, for Within thirty minutes the gas had caught again from the over- heated tubing and ground and was burning fiercely. Four large boilers were grouped around the fiercely blazing torch, which deafened all noises by the reverbera- tions of the escaping gas. One kept a stream of water playing on the ground where the casing entered the earth, and from the others three inch streams were directed at the top of the tubing with the end in view of breaking the flow, thus killing the blaze above. Extinguishing Burning Gan Well. The careless striking of a match at a big gas well on the Johnstone lease near Bartlesvilie ignited the gas, which burned a week before it could be extin- guished. The same band that attracted so much favorable attention in New York also serves to brighten the life at Dobbs Ferry. In fact, there is no suggestion of unnecessary restraint at that de- lightful homeâ€"not even a fence around the spacious grounds. In the fifty years of its existence the asylum has led many a boy toward the goal of suc- cess, and who knows but that in the band clad in cadet gray there is in the bud some great leader or composer, and it is also within the bounds of like- lihood that from the pleasant work- shops at Dobbs Ferry may come some day another Bell or another Edison, for the start in life which the boys ob- tain there fits them for many callings and opens many avenues to future use- fulness. The asp-slum, of com“ *. encourages the boys :0 follow their ‘. snt, and nat- urally th ,;se who have a musical ap- titude are quick to seizi- the opportu- nity that is denied to so many boys in the outsille world who we commonly supposed to be more for' .. iately situat- ed. This organization of promising mu- sicians c.:me to New Y. :k on May 30 from Dobbs Ferry, where the asylum’s new home is located on a 300 acre farm. There the once homeless or neglected boys receive not only the et- dinary public school education, but a thorough training.r in the different trades. They have plenty of time for play, too, and, thanks to Evert Jansen Wendell and other well known philan- thropists, they are fully supplied With paraphernalia for their games. The Youngest Bundsmen, In New York’s Memorial Day Parade. A brass band recruited from among street waits and using instruments be- longing to the set that took the first prize at the Centennial eXposition in 1876 was one of the most striking fea- tures of the Memorial day procession in New York. The band is a product of the New York Juvenile asylum, and it serves as a popular illustration of the manner in which that well known insti- tution trains these “dew, pathetic no- bodies,” as Oliver \‘C: :idell Holmes once desi-ribed them, to :ecome useful citizens.
