Same as Last Year, Taxes
Be About Same.
The etato board of assossntenl
havo equalized the assessed valuation
of counties and after 'marking pro
nosed changes In the land values la
sixteen counties, fixed the state levy
tho Bamo as last year, 7.S0 mills on
the dollar.
As tho levy for the general fund Is
now five mills and cannot be In
creased under tho law, and as tho
other levies nro fixed by law and can
not be raised or lowered by law. tho
board could not possibly have In
creased tho levy unless It had decided
to levy one mill or a fraction thoreof
under tho Sheldon law for tho re
demption of outstanding general fund
warrants. 4
State Treasurer "TJeorgo said tho
proceeds of such a levy might bo
used to good advantage at tho pros
ent time, but he belloved that unless
some emorgoncy arises In the future
tho new levy will produco enough
revenue In time, togther with fees
received by the state, to care for out
standing warrants and warrants that
will bo Issued during tho coming year.
Tho board decided not to levy a tax
for tho redemption of stato general
fund warrants.
As tho stato Iovy Is tho same as
last year and tho assossed valuation
of tho stato Is only a trlflo mroe than
last year, tho total revenue which
may be oxpoctod from this year's levy
will bo about tho samo as the total
of last year, namely $3,671,385, pro
viding all taxes are collected. The
Ucvy in mills for tho coming year Is
as follows:
General fund 5.00
University fund 1.00
University building 0.75
Normal schools ,0.85
Stato and bridges 0.20

FOR PRESERVING HAILSTONES
Doris Weinberg of the Technological
Institute of Tomsk Has Perfected
a Simple Method.
Tho precise manner In which hail
stones are formod M not yet known,
portly becauso theirr exlstonoo Is so
ophomoral that it iuUfflcult to mako
prolonged and dotal fed utudy of thnlr
peculiarities. To overcome this dif
ficulty, Boris Woinberg of tho Tech
nological Instltuto of Tomsk has oon
trivod a method of preserving hall
stones indefinitely by lmmorsing them
in a mixture of equal parts of benzol
and toluol, which possesses a density
nearly equal to that of tho Ice. In
this way he has succeeded In keep
ing them Intact for many months.
Prom those preserved hailstones, with
rroper refrigerating precautions, ml
crosooplc sections can be made for
examination In tho laboratory, and
evon magnified projections of the sec
tions can bo thrown upon a scroon
by means of a polarizing microscope
and a lantern. Herr Weinberg says
that hailstones can be preserved In
any viscous liquid, like vasollno or
castor oil, whoso density vory nearly
equals theirs.

Hermann Kleinholz, tho eleven year
old son of M. Kleinholz of Dorchester,
was before tho Btate board of control
yesteiday. The boy has been unable
to speak since his birth, yet he under,
etanda German quite well and Eng
lish fairly wdll. He has never been
taught to write because of his Ina
bility to speak. Ills hearing Is per
fect and his mind appears to bo nor
mal. His father desires to know
whether tho state has some Institu
tion In which the boy can be taught
to spak and obtain an education. Tho
youth has been 'operated upon for
what Is commonly known as a tied
tonguo and for adenoids, but has ob
tained no relief so far as his vocal
organs are concerned. Dr. Booth of
the state school for deaf at Omaha is
bt the opinion that little can be dond
for the hearing-mute youth. The
Doaru or control has tho matter un
der consideration and will probably
order the boy taken to the school for
deaf for a month's trial. If he has
aormal vocal chords that are merely
undeveloped ho may bo taught to use
them. If he has not be cannot be
taught the normal method of speech
which Is taught to those who are deaf
but whose vocal organs are moroly un
developed. For the purpose of test
ing the boy ex-Governor Holcomb of
the board of control, had an employ
In another room ring tho electric dosk
bell in the offlce of the board. The
boy heard the ring of the concealed
bell and ooked quickly around to dis
cover the source. The father of Her
mann said to him In German, "don't
crush youT hat.'' Hermann at tho
time had his hat under his arm. He
removed it and held it in his hand.
Ex-Governor Holcomb gave further
test by asking tho boy If ho knew
what a cow was. On a desk was a
large picture of a ( cow. The boy
pointed it out. Only a few unintel
ligible sounds aro made by the youth.
USEFUL TOOL FOR JEWELERS
Nippers Invented by a German Genius
Will Handle the Smallest
of Jewels,
Few trades, if any, require greater
precision and nimbloness in tho An
gora than the Jeweler's. In watch
making, and repairing In particular, a
man has to handle Infinitesimal Jow
els that ho would surely fumble if he
had not somo tool to pick them up
with. Thero are pincers, of courso,
but It Is easy to drop a Jewol out of
the ordinary kind. Accordingly, a
genius in Germany, whoro watch
making is a lino art, devised a pair of
nippers that would nppear to be Juat
what 1b needed in this work. A tube
that tapors at the bottom has a plun
ger running through uid at the bot
tom oi mo piunger aro tnree paws,
operated by a spring. A knob at the
top iov used to push Uie plungor out
and the spring draws it back again.

When tho plunger is pushed out at
the bottom of Uie tube the Jaws
spread so they will engage a Jowel.
When the pressure is released and
the spring draws the Jaws back they

WALKING ON WATER SURFACE

Is built of a series of hoops connected
by hinged rods so that the entire
