In case you havent enough to worry
aoout here is something Astrono
mers are now watching with increased
interest the big sun spot which has

years and are speculating on the out
come It is said the molten mass is
likely at any time to burst from the
suns surface Prof Siverimus J Cor
rigan director of the Goodsell Obser
vatory of Carleton University says
A new planet may at any instant
break away from the sun and the ter
rific explosion which will necessarily
accompany this break away will pro
duce a great disturbance of the entire
universe but particularly of the earth
perhaps completely smashing it and
surely destroying all animal life on
land as well as in the waters The re
sult of my investigations on this sub
ject indicate that the earth Is closely
approaching a critical epoch in its
career yet the day or the hour of
visitation no man knoweth but these
results have convinced me that it is
imminent Look to the sun Neither
is this tremendous disturbance of the
earth and the destruction of all life
upon it completely unprecedented A
similar detachment of solar matter by
the same means is known by scientists
to have occurred 23000000 years ago
a period simultaneous with the pa
laeozic age at which time all animal
and vegetable life then existing on the
fact of the earth was completely
crushed out Of course all this is non

The Pay of Naval Officers
The relative rates of American and
British naval officers pay in compari
son are as follows Naval cadet o00
midshipman 1G0 ensign 1200 sub
lieutenant 455 with extra as naviga
tor 225 lieutenant junior grade 1
S00 lieutenant 900 to 12S0 with ex
tras up to 365 lieutenant 2400 lieu
tenants in command 1005 to 1370
with extras from 420 to 705 lieuten
ant commander 2S00 commander
3500 commander 1S25 with extras
to 705 captain 4500 captain 2050
to 3010 with extras from 455 lo
1G40 Thus only the senior captain
in the British navy with full allowance
of extras receives more than our junior
captain But after one gets to be cap
tain things change Every British cap
tain becomes a rear admiral in a few
years as the rank of commodore is only
temporary and a rear admiral starts
with 8210 and may wind up with
13GS5 Our rear admirals get only
0000 at most while their comrades
of equal rank in the army the major
generals get 7500 Then the British
sailor has two and sometimes three
steps after he gets his flag he may be
come vice admiral with pay ranging
from 12775 to 15510 aDd even ad
miral with pay and allowances of
17100 to 19835

turns of the departments correspondents
The corresponding preliminary estimate
last year was 273 bushels and that of

quality is 8G3 as compared with 8S4 in
189G and 923 in 1S95
The preliminary estimate of the average
yield of buckwheat is 207 bushels per
acre as compared with 1S7 busnels last
year and 201 bushels in 1895 The aver
ages in New York and Pennsylvania the
two States of principal production are
22 and 21 bushels per acre respectively

Favorable conditions for the sowing of
Ihe fall crops are teported from most parts
of Europe and the condition of the
crops so far as sown is likewise favor
able The opinion is freely expressed
that an increased area has been sown in
wheat but this appears to be more as a
matter of inference from the natural ten
dency of high prices to produce such an
effect than as an observed fact The crop
reports from India continue favorable
and on the whole this is true as to those
Crom Argentina and Australasia but in
ill these countries the harvest is too re
note to permit any very confident pre
diction as to the final outcome In the
case of Argenthis it may prove that more
damage has been done by the locusts and
the spring frosts than is yet apparent
There is nothing to indicate that the
wheat shortage in Europe is any less than
has been supposed while the crop of Man
itoba is dow represented to be much below
the official estimate issued in August and
that of the Canadian Northwest territory
is poor
EMPLOYING COOLIES
Illinois Mine Ow ners Said to Be Im
porting Glineae Labor
The news liroi C hmamen are to he im
ported into the mines at Carbon Hill is
not considered very seriously at Spring
Valley Men stood around the corners in
knots discussing this latest phase of the
strike situation in Northern Illinois but
the coolies did not interest them as much
as the reported settlement at Braceville
where it is slated the miners have accept
ed the operators offer
The men in the Spring Valley district
are indignant over the action of the
Braceville men in accepting a settlement
below the scale The Spring Valley men
claim to have the strike won and the
leaders say that no matter if Braceville
does return to work at a non union scale
the Spring Valley men will hold out until
next May if necessary for the scale for
initiated at Springfield Ladd Seaton

The labor leaders scoff at the idea of
the coolie movement being a success
They say it is only a bluff Said one
prominent leader What if they do suc
ceed in -working one obscure mine with
Chinamen That does not necessarily
break the strike We are not going to
let 200 Chinamen at Carbon nill make
the price of coal digging for 2000 white
miners of Northern Illinois The very
fact that the Northern Illinois operators
are importing coolie labor is an indica
tion that the white miners are poorly paid
and evidence of their cause
A remonstrance against allowing Chi
nese coal miners to be imported into the
State for the purpose of mining coal at
Wilmington and other towns in place oi
striking miners will be placed before
Gov Tanner in the name of the United
Mine Workers of Illinois The Governoi
will also be asked to co operate with the

MOTES ABOUT SCHOOLS AND

JPlucky Teacher Who Thrashed and
Then Expelled Unrnly Pupils Value
of Decorations The School Newspa
perHelps for the Teacher
Tamed Her cTnrnly Pnpll
There is one young school teacher m
Long Island who need never be out of
a job So completely did she succeed
in quelling a rebellion last week that
offers from other places have already
been received but the school directors
of Babylon where she is now engaged
will not hear of her departure Her
name is Ella Hart and here is how she
came to establish herself so firmly in
her present position
John Coleman who is a boy of ten
der years but tough tendencies has
for several days been living under the
shadow of the rod Miss Hart has an
official wiiip and Friday her experi
enced observation told her that John
Coleman was ripe for castigation and
she called him up to receive his due
The operation proceeded with com
plete success for a feAV moments John
nie Coleman gave all the evidences of
mortal anguish customary to such oc
casions He squirmed and twisted and
rended the air with lamentations prot
estations and ejaculations of peni
tence
Stella Coleman a stout girl of 1G
years sister of Johnnie heard the
wails of her brother and appeared as
a rescue and punitive force She dash
ed into the room like a young whirl
wind and attacked the teacher with a
rush The boy took advantage of the
diversion to rub himself a few times
where he felt that rubbing was neces
sary and salutary and then joined in
the attack Miss Coleman scratched
vindictively and reached for her teach
ers hair Miss Hart proceeded method
ically and according to the most ap
proved principles of pedagogics She
first captured the girls hands and then
tripped her up threw her and sat on
her Then she reached for her whip
and thrashed Miss Coleman until all
the light and most of the family affec
tion were thrashed out of her After
that she caught Johnnie Coleman and
began on him all over again
Having completed her work con
scientiously and thoroughly she ex
pelled both the offenders and appear
ed before the trustees scratched and
somewhat battered and disheveled but
triumphant and reported her action
She was sustained and the school will
probably continue its exercises peace
fully
Her Proud Distinction

faculty of any Western College Her
own alma mater the University of Cal

faculty door to women but Stanford
being younger is less conservative
Miss Mary Mathilda McLean is a
young lady of interesting personality
She is of Scotch stock and has always
been noted for her serious tempera
ment She is well endowed mentally
though not remarkable for a robust
physique She is ambitious and decid
edly earnest and thorough
Miss McLeans family were New En
glanders when they ceased to be

shows in this youngest scion The
young lady is 2o years of asre an onlv
child and has been carefully reared
Her father is Rev J K McLean D D

Decorate the School Boom
The exhibit of school room decora
tions which is now in progress in Chi
cago says the Washington Post is a
step in the right direction It has its
lesson for our Washington schools
While we build structures that are
pleasing from an architectural point of
view and modern in their hygienic de
vices we are apt to give too little at
tention to the attractions of the school
room itself Bare walls save where
the forbidding blackboard is hung are
the boundaries of the pupils vision no
thought being given to the best method
of so furnishing the room as to make
it adelight to the eye and an elevation
of the mind It is true that there are
some exceptions here in Washington
where teachers have at their own ex
pense supplied bright and fragrant
flowers and appropriate pictures and
thus beautified an otherwise cheerless
apartment Thousands and thousands
of children spend several hours each
day In the Kchool room and there is
no telling how much they would be
beneflted by surroundings which would
appeal to and stimulate their artistic
sense The cost would not be great
and in most cases a few pennies con
tributed by the scholars and expended
judiciously by a teacher who possess-
es tact and good taste would revolu
tionize the place where the children
now spend the most receptive years of
their lives
Brighter prettier more clieerfni
school rooms ought to be provided Pis t
tures of great eve s replicas in plas
ter of paris of famous statues works
which represent the genius of the
worlds greatest artists all thee
would help the scholars and equip them
in a broader and higher sense for their
contact with the world for the noble
and responsible duties of American cit
izenship
After Vacation
Before they had arithmetic
Or telescopes or chalk -
Or blackboards maps and copy books
When they could only talk
Before Columbus came to show
The world geography
What did they teach the little boys
Who went to school like meV
There wasnt any grammar then
They cruldnt read or spell
For books were not invented yet
I think it was just as well
There were not any rows of dates
Or laws or wars or kings
Or generals or victories
Or any of these things
There couldnt have been much to It-
There wasnt much to know
Twas nice to be a little boy
Ten thousand years ago
For history had not begun
The world was very new
And in schools I dont see what
The children had to do
Now always there is more to learn
How history does grow
And every day they find new tilings
They think we ought to know
And if it must go on like this
Im glad I live to day
For boys ten thousand years from novr
Will not have time to play

A Device in Discipline
A high school teaeher has each pupil
keep his own record of both conduct
and study in a little blank book pre
pared for the purpose and make daily
entries This is not the self-reporting--system
because the pupils standing
is not made up from this record The
pupil does not report to anybody he
simply keeps the record for himself
The principal frequently looks at theso
little books to see how they are kept
but never criticises the marking The
pupil is not required to show his book
to his parents and yet he is encour
aged to keen a report that he will not
be ashamed to show The pupil is
given to understand that the re or2 is
for his own benefit exclusively aul
that it is for his own inspection exclu
sively unless he chooses to let others
see it
The foregoing device Is an excellent
one for two very manifest reasons z
1 It compels the student to constantly
compare his own perforniaiwej Jn
both conduct and work with his own
ideal standard of excellence and this
is worth a great deal to any one
whether in school or out of school 2
It places no inducement before the pu
pil to make a false report and tuis
gives it its immense advantage over
the self reporting sj stem Lot no
teacher flatter himself that this device
or auj other however good will run
itself Selected
Nature as an Educator
Dr M L Ilolbrook gives the follow
ing advice as to the education of
So far as possible a love of na
ture should be early and continuously
inculcated Nature is in a physiefi
sense the father and mother of us all
and a child that grows up to maturity
with a genuine love of rocks and trees
flowers and insects animals and
plants storms and sunshine cold anl
heat fresh air or the ocean wave of
everj varying landscape and mood of
nature and all the activities around us
stauds not only a better chance of pos
sessing a healthy nervous system but
of maintaining it during life than if
the opposite had been the case I am
not at all in sympathy with any sys
tem of education which takes children
far away from nature Nature is a
book a great library of book whose
authorship is the Infinite Our little
works our libraries vast and valuable
as they are cannot be compared with
it They are poor transcripts at best
of the thoughts of half developed hu
man beings
Chips for the Teacher
Endeavor to cultivate public opinion
Children suffering with headache
should be sent home
Endeavor to keep your schoolroom-
well ventilated at all times
Caution the pupils about burningr
the midnight oil in studying
Punishments should vary according
to the temperament of the child
Never strike a child on the
pull the childs hair or ear
Endeavor to govern your school with
out resorting to corporal punishment
Be sparing of commands but wbenf
ever you do command command wittr
decision and firmness
Dont allow children to sit in the
schoolroom with wet feet or damp
clothing
Protect your pupils eyes from exces
sive light and from the direct rays or
the sun
