'A teady stream of new Ideas relating to Iho mysterious fluid Is pouring Into the patent office. Yet this branch of research Is only in Its Infancy. Before long , If progress con tinues at IU present ralo , says the Washing ton Star , the work ot the world will be mainly done by electrical apparatus. Already electricity contribute. * enormously to the luxury of the rich. The household establishment ot Mr. Gorglu-i Midas la fairly run by harnessed lightning. The walls ot the dwelling are threaded with a maze of lilJden wires , the currents distributed over It being controlled by switches and automatic regulators. A complete electric plant In the basemen' fttrnl.'hea lights and runs an ele vator which has no attendant , being per fectly controlled by push buttons. It On waking In the morning Mr. Midas sum mon * his valet by a push button , and pres ently U notified that his bath Is ready. Ills ablutions are accompanied by a mild scrub with an electric brush , which produces a pleasant tingling sensation and Is healthful for the nkln. Emerging from the tub he rubs himself to a glow with nn electric towel , which Is woven on ft loose web ot very flno wlro so as to be perfectly flexible. Towel and brush are connected with a small storage battery and the current may be made as gentle as desired. The same remark ap plies to a comb that hangs by the shaving glass. Nobody has yet Invented an electric razor , but that will como In time. Mr. Midas uses an electrical toothbrush for the benefit of his gums , and then , feeling fit for a little exercise , he devotes five minutes to handling a pair of light dumb belU. These nteo are electrical , and give a series of mild shocks to the person employing them. The gentleman is now Tcady for his breakfast. His coffee Is drunk out of a cup of precious metal , which Is readily attached to a llttlo battery beneath the table by hooking It on to the end of a fine wire. In his left hand ha holds a small electrode that terminates another wlro. The net of drinking close * the circuit an * thd liquid conveys the elec tricity to the alimentary canal nnd stomach. This Is not only excellent for digest on. but It renders more palatable the ilulJ taken because the electricity stimulates from the cup , lates the organs of taste. Having finished breakfast nnd read the morning paper , Mr. Midas takes his hat and wne and starts down town for his office massive gold head and The stick has a would bo a prlzo for a sneak thief , but it reposes safely In the hall rack , which has nn alarm attachment , so as to give Instant notice In case a coat or anything else on It Is removed. The cane referred to Is Itself electrical , sending pleasant thrills througl the body ot the user. Leaving Mr. Midas to pursue his way to business. It will be as well to return to his wife. She Is musically in clined and spends most of the morning in playing on a piano , which Is so contrived that she receives a series of shocks wnilo manipulating the keys , thus undergo ng a treatment for rheumatism Incidentally to the performance. " Upstairs the children are playIng - Ing with dolls that are made to dance by electricity. MECHANICAL SERVANTS A ! POSSIBILITY. All this might bo considered rather far fetched were It not that patents have been taken out for every one of the devices de scribed In this article. To such a point has electrical service been carried that some day one may see In common employment such ' automata as are spoken ot In the romance of "Tho Coming Race" mechanical servants actuated by push buttons , which will glide noiselessly about , attending to their work nnd never "talking back. " WhenMrs. . Midas Is ready to go out she summons her carriage by touching an electric boll that communicates with the stable. Instead of walking downstairs she calls the elevator by n push button. Though without an attendant , It responds to her touch , pauses to take her aboard and carries her to the first floor. The closing of the door behind her releases the elevator and places It at the control ot whoever else may want it. Mr. Midas occasionally has an engagement at his club that keeps him out late. It Is so this evening. At the close of business hours ho drops In at a glided saloon In the neigh borhood of his office to get a cocktail and to have his shoes shlned , the latter process being performed by an automatic contrivance. He drops a nickel Into a slot , sits down In a chair and puts his feet upon two supports provided for the purpose. An electric motor actuates the brushes first n brush that carries blacking , supplied from a reservoir , and then polishing brushes. On his way home several hours later , the night being d rk , Mr. Midas wishes to know the time. His watch Is provided with a very small electric light bulb. In his other waist coat pocket , connected with the watch by a chain which serves as a conducting wire , Is a little battery. An Instant's pressure upon o charm that Is attached to the chain closes the circuit , Ignites the lamp and Illuminates the dial. AVlfen Mr. Midas reaches home he has no trouble In finding the keyhole. Ho pushes the button and an electric light shines through a round hole Inthe door , Illumi nating the keyhole. As M enters the house nH Is silent. The only noise he hears as he passes his wife's room Is that of the baby's cradle , which Is being recked by electricity. Ho retires to rest and dreams that ho U ship wrecked on n desert Island , where savages amuse themselves by tatoolng Vilm with very improper pictures , BO he will never ngaln bo able to appear In civilized society. TJio process Is Infinitely more painful than ttto modern method , by which a needle , actu ated by electricity. Jumps up and down and makes punctures so rapidly that a line is ! described with It almost as fast as If drawn carefully on paper. Thus the sketch is outlined , and Is filled In with a similar ma chine carrying five needles and making a Dtrlpe one-eighth of an Inch wide. The needles are dipped In vermllllon red. To turn out a tatooed man In this wise , all ready for exhibition , costs only $200. ELECTRIC BOATS. Of course. Mr. Midas has an electric pleas ure boat. The power for running It Is con tained In storage batteries concealed under the seats. Electricity Is rapidly coming Into use for navigation. It Is said that electric boats are replacing gondolas in Venice. Anew now Invention Is an electric float for Hie life saving service. H Is sent out through the serf to a distressed vessel , being propelled and steered from the shore and carrying an electric lamp ot several hundred candle power. An Improved life- buoy Is provided with an electric light , so that It may attract the attention ot a drowning person when It is thrown overboard. Canal boats are now run by electricity , and the Baltic ship canal is to be rqulppol with 25,000 electric lamps. It Is expected that some day chips may be propelled by electricity drawn from the ocean , the latter furnlaailng the motive power as well as a medium of transportation. The records of the patent office show that electricity is constantly Invading new fields. It has been ascertained recently that certain vegetable1 ? may be grown to advantage under the electric light. When the eun Is not ehlnlng the Unlpa are turned on , and the plants are not allowed any time for sleep. Lettuce and various flowers , such as fuchsias nnd petunias , thrive wonderfully under this treatment , developing rapidly and luxuriantly. Kxperlments liaye show it that equally favor- nb'.o effects may be secured by the direct application of electricity to the plants through wires. In this manner the produc tion of certain vegetables has been doubled and oven quadrupled. The galvanic current lias been applied to seedi , causing them tc sprout more quickly. Electrified p ai , bean : and sunflowers germinate In half the time required fpr the sprouting of seeds not thus treated. . -.Medical eclence-conld not get along without electricity nowadays. If It ls suspected that unperson lias 'anything the matter with hli stomach the physician obl'ges him to swallow a mall light bulb , which Illuminates him in- elde to that the. presence of any disease 01 foreign body may be perceived. This Idea was orlglcatsd by * Frenchman , who used to induce fishes In an aquarium to swallow a light-bulb on-the end ot a wirewten la the dark Ihelr anatomical structure would be per fectly revealed as they swam about. By similar means the entire face Is Illuminated , a light being Introduced Into the pharynx behind the noso. Doctors at present use an electrical machine somewhat like that ot a dentist for drilling through diseased bone and for various "oilier operations. They also em ploy electricity fpr cautery. The dirigible balloun of the future will un doubtedly bo run by an electric engine. Colonel Wi R. King , United States army , U the Inventor of an electromagnet net , which has been mounted on top of n fort at Wlllctt's Point , ticur New York. It Is the most powerful magnet In the world a horseshoe made of two cannon and a metal bar , with miles of Insulated telegraph wire wound around the muzzles of the guns for spools. A current Is supplied from a dynamo. It Is claimed that the magnet will derange the compass of an enemy's ship at a distance ot six miles. A new application of electricity Is for a jail cell , the walls ot which are composed wholly of barn , giving as much light and ventila tion as possible. The bars are hollow pipes , carrying heat In winter , and ore connected with n battery. If a prisoner saws through one of them the circuit Is broken , and an alarm sounds. sounds.VARIOUS VARIOUS ALARMS. Patents for alarms are In great variety. Ono of them Is set oft by escaping gas. An- ithcr Is designed as a safeguard for Mr. Inysced. Ills effort to blow out the gas Ills n delicately balanced electrode , c'osing ho circuit and giving notice In the office of hn hotel. An alarm In the office of a cmctery gives notification of any attempt to ob a grave. There are several devices for connecting railway tracks with wires , so hat no train can enter a block while another rain la on It. One of these stops the enter- ng locomotive , shuts off Its steam automat- cally , and spills sand on the track. Ono dollar's worth ot ordinary commer- lal go'd leaf covers 9UO square- Inches ; but his material Is thick compared with the gold cat that Is now made by depositing yellow metal wlUi electricity In a bath upon n ighly polished sheet of copper. In this manner a film only 1-1,000,000th of an Inch In thickness may bo pro duced. Mounted on glass , It Is ransparent. Only by means of the electric urnaco could M. Molssan ot Parts have chloved his recent success In making real diamonds artificially by melting wrought Iron with carbon. H was In trying for diamonds mends by a similar process that a I'lttsburg Inventor not long ago produced "carborun dum , " which is coming Into general use as a substitute for comndrum In grinding. The bright crystals of this new substance , which is harder than ruby or sapphire , were at first mistaken by the operator for the gems ho was seeking. There Is a small bar at the patent offio which consists In different parts of Its length of steel , brass , tin , copper and silver , all so perfectly united that It might bo supposed to have been formed that way by nature. It was made by the process ot lectrlc welding , which consists In placing two pieces of metal with the ends almost ogcthcr and fusing them by passing a powerful current through them. The high est producible temperature Is that of the electric arc , which runs up to 8,700 degrees ahrenheit. By means of this enormous licat various feats have been accomplished recently which hitherto were deemejl Im possible. The metal uranium and other sub- stanceu which could not bo liquefied before have been transformed Into gases. Uranium s a metal of great hardness , and , when struck against n flint , gives out sparks of much greater Intensity than these produced by steel. Similarly , platinum , copper , gold , Iron and silica have been volatilized , and chromium and titanium have been obtained In a pure state In large quantities. The last fifteen years have witnessed the creation of the electric light , the electric railway , the telephone and a large variety of Industries depending on electricity. They have opened new fields and fresh demands for labor. From our point ot view today it seems odd that people could ever have got along without those conveniences which now are regarded as essentials of civiliza tion and necessary to comfort. AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE EXCHANGE Romalne Callcnder , nn electrical engineer of New York , the other day exhibited and gave a working demonstration there of an entirely new system of telephone exchange which he has Invented and patented here and abroad. The apparatus exhibited forms u complete telephone exchange In working order , of a kind Intended for use In a smal city. To explain In detail the method o ! communication between subscribers , a num. her of ordinary telephone transmitters ant' receivers have been placed on the walls ol the room In which the apparatus Is shown , and these Instruments are connected with the apparatus of the exchange proper , In the center of the room. The whole system of Interconnection at the exchange Is automatic , the services ol operators there not being required. Sub scrlbers make their own connections auto matically by the use of a simple device attached to their transmitting and receiving Instruments. By this device when a sub scrlber desires to connect himself with an other subscriber ho turns two knobs , mov ing Indicator arms over two numbered dials , forming the proper combination ot figures. For Instance , If " 15" were the number desired the subscriber would move one Indicator arm to " 1" and the other tr " 5 , " and within twelve seconds , Mr. Cal- lender says , the bell on the calling sub scriber's Instrument would ring to announce the connection with the subscriber at " 15. " The apparatus In which the connection 1t > made at the central station consists of a circuit selector for receiving calls nnd In dividualizing portions of the apparatus t the calling subscriber ; a numerical receiver for registering the number of the telephone with which connection Is desired ; a numer ical separator for automatically classifying the "Impulses" of the call ; a numerallzcr for totalizing the numbers registered by the receivers , and for selecting the telephone with which Connection Is desired ; a signalIng - Ing track for signaling subscribers when a connection Is made or a telephone Is In use ; progressive switches , mechanisms held under the control of a signaling subscriber until the connection has been effected , and a connector by which subscribers are Inter connected. All this mechanism appears as an orderly arrangement ot wires , keys , brushes' and various other parts , which are minutely adjusted and bawlldcrlngly numer ous. ous.FIRE FROM INCANDESCENT LAMPS. The fire Insurance organs of the country are commenting freely on the liability of the Incandescent lamp to start fires. This Im portant question was brought before the last convention of the National Association of Fire Engineers at Montreal by Chief Ltodsay ot the St. Louis fire department , who , In speaking of electricity as a factor In causing fires , nald It had been doubted that Ignition could bo caused by contact of any material with the Incandescent lamp , but tha matter had been set at rest by the report of the supervisor of city lighting on the result of fourteen experiments to determine under what conditions the incandescent bulb may prove to be a source of danger. A lamp was allowed to rest In a vertical position against a piece of white pine ; after four hours a spot ono inch In diameter was discolored to light brown. Varnished oak , well seasoned , became blackened In fifteen minutes , Its varnish be ing blistered In three minutes. The wood had the appearance of being charred at and near the point of contact , but was not Ignited. Dry white plno board began to smoke In forty minutes , but unfortunately forythls most Important test the lamp film burned out at the end of that time , and the experiment was not renewed. A lamp which had been en cased In two thicknesses of muslin began to scorch In one minute , gave off considerable smoke at three minutes , and burst Into flame at the end of six minutes. A nowi- papsr , on which a lighted Incandescent lamp had been placed , was carbonized In three minutes , and set on fire In forty-five minutes , Slxtecn-candle power lamps of normal volt- aga were used. Fact * a * to Fruit Droning In MluUalpp' , Central Mississippi Is specially adapted to fruit growing and berry culture. Hums , peaqlics , figs and oranges are raised In great perfection , In all varieties. Straw berries and tomatoes yield most generously and are favorites and remunerative crops because ot the ease with which they are raised and the great facility with which they are marketed. Grapes grow every * where and for general fruit raising there Is no better section. All who hare engaged In this branch of Industry have been more than satisfied with results. We want a reliable representative In every town and county In this state and also want groups of .three to five families who want to better their condition and live In a land of plenty and sure crops to write us for further par- llculars.

ECHOES OF THE ANTE -ROOM. - | < i ) I I ) ill The chief event In local secret society circles last week wan the convention of tlio supreme temple ot the Patriarchal Circle ot America , which convened Wednesday and remained In session until late Friday after noon. U was the fifteenth annual session of the temple. While little business ot any great Importance was transacted , the sessions were highly enjoyable to the delegates who were present. When the temple convened In Patterson hall at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the committee on credentials reported that there were sixty delegates who were entitled to seats In the convention hall. The meeting vas opened In the usual formal style com mon to such bodies. The delegates were welcomed to the city by the mayor and the response was made by a prominent member of the visiting order. C. H. Lovewell of Chicago , supreme oracle. Then the body settled down to the preliminary work , which consisted of Inltlitlng the new delegates to the supreme temple degree and listening to various reports. On the following day the reports of the suprrmo secrctary.supreme oracls and supreme treasurer were read. The supreme oracle's report presented a matter of Importance In recommending that the Insurance feature of the order be strengthened and advanced , making It more prominent that It had been heretofore. As a step In this direction It .was proposed that the supreme secretary and supreme treasurer act as secretary and treasurer In the Insurance branch , thus fomliiK a closer relationship between the fraternal and military divisions of the order. This recommendation was adopted. It Is ex pected that this change will go far toward building up the order. The supreme secretary recommended a hange In the uniform of the subordinate edges and this also was adopted. This irovldes that all persons who have the rights nd privileges of the order shall hereafter ppear at meetings In full dress uniform , 'ho secretary also recommended several hangeg In the emblem , which were adopted , le also urged the building up of the Vomaii's Circle of the Golden Iland. Any woman may Join the circle , but a man must "e a full-Hedged member of the Patriarchal llrcle before he can join. After the transaction ot some minor busl- icss on Friday the election of olllcers took > laco. The result was as follows : Supreme oracle , C. II. Lovewell , Chicago re-elected ) : supreme vice oracle , J. W. Hcn- lerson , Richmond , Ind. : supreme secretary , ! . C. Hidings , Morrla , 111. ; supreme marshal , . W. Houder , Omaha ; supreme treasurer , H. R. Downing , Richmond , Ind. ; supreme stand- ird bearer , S. D. Kenyon , Janesvllle , WIs. ; upreme chaplain , L. C. Huff , Council Bluffs ; upremc guard , J. A. Aulabaugh , Omaha ; su- ireme sentinel , J. F. Bartholomew , Milwau- tce ; first assistant , L. Llebschor , Milwau kee : second assistant , C. L. Hopper , Omaha. The officers were Immediately Installed. The ceremony was followed by an ex emplification of secret work by the supreme orncle. KIkhart , Ind. , was selected as the place 'or holding the next session of the supreme cmple , which wilt convene on the second Tuesday In July , 1896. Not the least Important , and certainly not he least enjoyable of the session , were the social features. Ono of these was the re ception given the visiting delegates < m Wednesday evening at the Commercial club oonis. W. A. L. Gibbon made the welcom- ng speech , and responses were made by sev eral of the delegates , among them being Supreme Oracle C. H. Lovewsll of Chicago. Daniel C. Houndy of Chicago , S. IJ. Carpen ter of Elkhart , Ind. , Peter Van Vechten , jr. , of Milwaukee , L. C. Huff of Council Bluffs and G. C. Ridings ot Morris , III. During : lie evening a beautiful set ot subordinate ; emple officers' emblems was presented to the local temple , Irene No. 1 , as a token ot regard from the supreme temple. They are the first emblems of the kind In the country. Tlu presentation wad made by Miss Jessie Ridings , daughter ot the supreme secretary , the speech beluff made by J. W. Henderson of Richmond , Ind. , supreme vice oracle. The response was made by J. W. Houder. the oracle of Irene temple , In behalf of the temple. On Thursday evening a banquet was given the delegates at the Mlllard hotel by the local members of the order , the toastmastcr belni ; J. W. Houder. At its conclusion tha degree ot knighthood was conferred upon Mayor Ilemls. undr a special dispensation. The mayor accepted the honor In a neat speech. A number of speeches were made by members of the temple. The story of the beginning of the Patri archal Circle of America furnishes a bit of Interesting reading. The Idea from which it grew originated In the minds of a few * members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows , who felt that this order needed some feature to make it more attractive to the younger men In the country. The young men were flocking to the orders which had a military adjunct , particularly the Masonic body and the- Knights of Pythias. It was deemed advisable , therefore , to form some auxiliary organization on the same lines , and from this Idea the Patriarchal Circle sprung. The Idea spread through the states of Iowa , Illinois. Wisconsin and Minnesota. Among the Odd Fellos who were energetic In urging it were Newell Daniels , Peter Van Vechtsn and A' . B. Meyers of Milwau kee , It. Lachman of St. Louis and S. B. Carpenter of Elkhart , Ind. The originators succeeded In enlisting several thousand young men in the order. Finally , In 18SO , delegates were selected to attend the first meeting ot the supreme temple , and an organization was completed. All theswhlle , however , the originators of the order contemplated that the circle should 1 simply a higher degree of Odd Fellowship. It was to be. to the order what the Knights Templar are to the Masonic body. In ac cordance with this view , therefore , only such members of th2 Independent Order of Odd Fellows who had taken the third degree were eligible to membership In the circle. But , nevertheless , it was looked at askance by many of the older and more conservative members , who saw In It an Innovation that threatened to overthrow the "encampment , " which was the higher degree of Oddfellow- ship , but was at the time languishing be cause It did not attract membership as a more showy rank , or degree would. The matter was formally brought to the attention of the sovereign grand lodge ot the Odd Fellows In 1881 , It was thoroughly dis cussed , but no action was taken , the matter being laid over to the next session. Eric J. Leach , who was then sovereign grand master ot Odd Fellows , was bitterly opposed to the Idea , and used his Influence against it. When the sovereign grand lodge convened In 1883. It was decided not to recognlza the circle. This naturally created opposition , and finally It was decided by the lodge that those who were members of both orders would have to leave 0112 or the other. Those who In sisted on remaining in the circle were to lose their membership In and with that the In surance benefits of the Odd Fellows. The Patriarchal Circle was also prohibited from using the three links and the other Insignia ot the Odd Fellows. After this session of the sovereign grand lodge the members of the Patriarchal Circle disowned any connec tion with Oddfellowshlp , and took Its stand as a separate and Independent order. This did not have the desired effect , and at the lesslon of the sovereign gland lodge ot the Odd Fellows In 18SS the member * who remained In Ins circle were formally expelled from the order , atid the circle was proscribed by legislation and arbitrarily or dered to discontinue the use ot the three links and the other Odd Fellow emblems. At the same session the sovereign grand lodge organized the Patriarchs Militant. After the separation much litigation fol lowed. .The circle continued the useof the three links , the emblems which the Odd Fellows claimed as distinctly their own , and the latter order attempt * ] to enjoin t tit- use In the courts. The courts , however , re fused to grant the injunction , holding that the" Odd Fellows had no copyright on the em blem. Members of the Patriarchal circle , on the other hand , thought that they were en titled to the Insurance for which they had been paying In th Independent Order of Odd Fellows. On this point the courts decided against them , holding that the Odd Fellowi had tha power to determine for themselves whether their members were In good standIng - Ing , and that If they desired that inch ot their members who were connected with the circle were not In good standing , they had the power to expel them. It the two orders had remained together there Is no doubt In the minds of thoughtful Odd Fellows that the order would have a much higher standing than It has at present. Whsn the order expelling members ot the Patriarchal circle went-into effect It forced thousands of Independent Odd Fellows from the ranks of that order , and the Patriarchs Militant have hardly * ftlbcceded In making up this loss. ) ' Tha ceremony of rali'rnR ' up the newly elected chiefs of Mlntlihaha council No. 2 , Daughters of Pocahonitdjl for the term endIng - Ing December 31 , 189 % , was conducted In pub lic by Deputy Qreat Sachem Sister Nellie Hale , assisted by Slste'r"Graco Stabler , deputy great Wencnah ; Sister Luella Jackman , as deputy great prophetess ; Brother Henderson Lloyd , deputy great Powhattan , and Sister Flora Whltley , as noting senior past chief. The following elected and appointed chiefs were duly raised up and assumed their stumps : Sister Ella Jackman , Pocahontas ; Sister Etta Blakeman , Wenonih ; Sister Mary Grnner , prophetess ; Brother Henderson Lloyd , Powhattan ; Sister Cclla Skcehan , first scout ; Sister Kate Mueller , second scout ; Sister Ida Gall , guard of wigwam ; Sister Clyde Kings- bury , guard ot forest ; Sister Hannah E. Hughes , first runner ; Sister Kato Keenan , second runner ; Sister Flora Whltley , first warrior ; Sister Frances Seldenor , second war rior ; Sister Alice Carroll , third warrior ; Sister Annie Shamel , fouth warrior ; Brother James A. Blngham , first counselor ; Brother Charles S. Frank , second counselor. The Impressive and beautiful ceremony was witnessed by a large number ot appreciative paleface friends of the council. They gave duo praise to the installing chiefs for the able and effective manner In which they per formed the difficult task. After the new chiefs assumed their stumps , remarks were called for frsm Sisters J ckmin End Blikcnrn and Brother Lloyd , who responded In a happy style. The keeper of records submitted a brief report ot the operations of the council during the term just passed and then the council fire was quenched. A program , with recitations by Sister Hughes , Miss Gibson , Master Walter Wlnani songs by Sister Luella and Miss Mamie Jackman and Miss Gibson closed the literary features. An excellent lunch , consisting of Ice cream and cake , was served , after which violins appeared In hands of Josph Somers and James F. McCabe , and although the evening was warm , dancing was commenced by the young people , who seemed determined to celebrate the glorious Fourth In the most appropriate styl ? . The council Is In excellent condition and that It will Improve during the'term Is beyond doubt. A notable Incident of the end of the past term was that the presiding chief , Sister Jackman , was re-elected , the first Instance of the kind In the history of the council , showIng - Ing how popular she Is-with the members. At the last meeting of Omaha lodge No. 18 , Ancient Order of United Workmen , the following olllcers were elected for the en suing term : Master workman , II. A. Mclaughlin : fore man , M. G. McLeod ; overseer , H. G. Streltz ; recorder , C. H. Collier ; rerclver , H. B. Mor- rlll ; financier. George W. Lower ; guide , L. A. Flesher ; Inside watchman , H. Brlggs ; outside , watchman , J.

The experience of older cities has been of Incalculable value to the founders and managers of public schools In the west. We have profited by adopting what was best In the older sections ot the country , and avoided their errors to a large extent. The result Is school buildings of the most ap proved and convenient type , In the con struction of which the health ot the children Is n prime consideration. As a rule commo dious playground surrounds the buildings , thus combining two Important elements In the physical wcllbelng of pupils. After years ot agitation 1'hllailelplila Ins awakened to the Importance of playgrounds around schools. "It has always been difficult for the people In the closely built portions of the Quaker City , " according to the Times , "to know what to do with their children In play hours. The parks arc distant , the public squares Infrequent , and the streets , the only place left for poor children to play , are practically forbidden to them by ths neces sities of rapid railway travel. Playgrounds ot some sort have thus become an urgent necessity. The yards ot the school houses ara very Inadequate , but they are tha only thing available for this purpose and their use is so obvious that every one who thinks about It must wonder that it was not thought ot before. "The good people who have brought about its very simple provision for the comfort f the children , and have undertaken the ecessary care ot the school yards and of hosa using them , are entitled to gratitude nd support. But the fact that there are o very few school houses In the city sur- ounded by playgrounds ot any considerable Ize dalls attention to a very serious error r oversight that ought to bo avoldid In the uturc. It would be difficult and costly now o enlarge the spaces surrounding most of the xlstlng school houses , but the new schools ro usually In advance of the population , nd wherever a public school house Is to be uilt , care should be taken to secure suit- ! lent space to provide an adequate play- round , for use both during the school sts- lon and In the summer vacation. "Our public schools have not kept pace , vlth private schools In the recognition of ho Importance of physical care and recrc- tlon. With all the advance In methods t Instruction , attention Is fixed on th ; class room only , and the playground has been orKOttcn. Yet healthy bodies are essential .0 the formation of healthy minds , and a rst step In this direction would b3 to give he children abundant breathing space and odin in which to exercise when out of ichool. " THE SUMMER SCHOOL. The summer school has evidently come to tay. For the last ten years such schools lave been springing up In various parts of he country , growing in ixipularlly and Im- lortance , until now they have become an e - abllshed factor In our educational system , lore than 100 ot these schools have already pened or will op ° n before the vacation soa- on shall have ended. Invariably those ichools , says the Chicago Record , are de rated to some particular branch of study , usually dealing with educational or religious ubjects , or those that are collateral to such ubjects. There Is a school devoted to edu cational matters In Denver , a school of ap plied ethics at Plymouth , a school of Chris tian sociology at Oberltn , and a school ot Christian philosophy at Chautauqua , which arc simply samples ot ths vast number of summer educational courses. The summer school Is made to fit Into the vacation period with a peculiar nicety. Being special schools they appeal to those students to whom such studies are In the nature of recreation , while the methods of instruction by the use ot lectures lend an additional charm to the courses pursued. When Prof. Agasslz opened the first of : hes3 schools at Penlkcse Island In 1873 for .nstructlon In natural history , the affair was regarded as of very doubtful utility by he staid college professors. Then the Chau- _ auqua movement began , which did more to popularize the new Idea. Now the list of lectures In these summer schools Includes the name of nearly every college and univer sity professor who has acqulrid a rccognlzjd position In the science he teaches. It Is esti mated that 1 per cent of the people of the- whole country attend , for a longer or shorter period , thess many schools. The schools supply some of the demands that the colleges cannot fill. They stimulate and direct thought , but are not disciplinary In their alms. Th3 students can outllns a whole year's study from the hints and Ideas received during a few weeks at one of these schools. They are Inexpensive and have demonstrated their utility. They must now be recognized as one ot the most Important nstrumentalltles for popular education. THE COLLEGE GRADUATE. Reports from colleges generally through out the United States are to the effect that the graduating classes of 1895 have been larger than those In any other previous year. This Is , of course , a prominent fea ture of our national development , and may be strained even so far as to be regarded as another giatlfylng sign of returning pros perity. At any rate , says the Philadelphia Record , the annually increasing roll of college graduates is the best of evidence that the door of opportunity Is being kept wide open for American youth ; for , al though a liberal education is not absolutely necessary to success In life , It Is neverthe less a grand qualification. What beconas of all our college graduates Is a question often asked , and as frequently only partially answered. They do not nl" shine very brilliantly In the fields ot lltera ture , art , science or even of theology. But their Influence is none the less felt ; they are working wonders for the good of the nation at large. Out of a population of nearly 70.000,000 , probably not five In COO are or ever will bo college graduates. A much larger proportion have naturally had the rudiments of a common school education ; but a very moderate proportion ot these latter , owing to the pressure ot dally events the disabling conditions of their surround' Ings and other similar circumstances , wit early have fallen out of the habit ot reading any other . than ordinary literature , am : equally out of the power of thinking Into and through the grave social and polltlca questions ot tbe day. But the Influence o the college man upon these Is destined to become very great. Popular Intelligent seeks euch enlightening Influence In every walk ot lite , and when found It Is both duly recognized and appreciated. As Bishop Potter pointed out to the students of Union college the other day , the well educated man , albeit In an unconscious manner , metaphorically becomes "the master of his less sophisticated brother , " The man ot learning may not be as rich , as adroit , as aggressive or as apparently successful as the man of ordinary Informa tion. He- may be overlooked or forgotten In the mad scramble for place or for power , or In the contentions of political factions. But sooner or later Inferior men will be as certainly compelled to listen to him as ( to employ a paradoxical Instance ) the wise and great once esteemed It a favor , In an hour of Rupreme trial and suspense , to listen to the utterances ot an ungraduated Lincoln , but a man who was a student and a seer. EDUCATIONAL NOTES. Seventy-one teachers In the girls' High school of Brooklyn draw $102,500 per annum In salaries , while thirty-four teachers In the boy * ' High school receive { 67,260.
