About a jcar ngo the school board of Lon
don employed an expert oculist to examine
the ojcs of school children , the primary ob
ject being to ascertain whether schcil work
wan producing the dangerous condition
known as "progressive mjopla" The In
quiry was suggested by a report then re
cently madp by scientists In Ocunany that
this malady progressive mjopla was prev
alent In the German schools and was the re
sult of study.
Dr. llruelencll Carter , the examining oculist
list , reports that ho did not find this malady
among London school children. In all 8,000"
chlldicn weie examined In almost equal pro
portions of bo.\3 and girls Prom the tabu
lated data It appears tlint nnt quite 40 per
cent of the children had normal vision In
both cjca. forty per cent had Imperfect
vision In both ejes , while 20 per cent had
perfect sight with one ejf and Imperfect
with the other A small number suffered
to n disabling degrc'e- from hM > eropia , or
long-slghtcdticss while a still smaller num
ber mifTercd to the same extent from myopia ,
or near-slghlPdncBR Over Cl per cent of the
whole number of children tested had astig
matism This defect or mnladv , If It fs a
malady , consists In the uncvcnncss of focus
In the cjcs the rajs of light being refiacted
differently ( n eflffeicnt plane's. Large num
bers of people go through life with It and
never know It , and It Is doubtful If the oculists
lists themselves fully understand all Its
effects Hut Inasmuch as many ailments
are dlrcctlj traceable to eje troubles , It
may be that astlgmla Is at the bottom of
some of them.

Philologist J N II Ilovvltt of the llureau
of American Ethnology left Washington a
few da > s ago for a novel expedition of stud } .
to be made In the Grand Hlver reserve ,
seventy miles west of Buffalo , on the Cana
dian slelc. In this reserve are combined the
odd tribes known as the Six Nations the
confederation of Indians composed of the
Oncldas , Mohawks , OnonUng.is , Caugas ,
Ecnecas and Tuscaroras Mr. Hewitt , bj
applying a novel sstcm , will make dlctlon-
ailes and grammars of these Indian lan
guages , and b } aid of these data will make
an Interesting nngllsli translation of the
bible ot the Six Nations , re cording their
strange pagnn beliefs concerning the crea
tion and carl } history of the world. Al
though more clvill/ctl than most Indians ,
those of the Six Nations hnve never be
fore been studied cthnolorilcally. Mr. Hew
itt will "llvo Indian" with the big chiefs
and will take elaborate notes upon all that
they tell him. He can speak eight Indian
languages and has a knowledge of prac
tically every language of the old world Ho
Is preparing to cairy with htm a phonograph
graph , which will preserve for him the
words nnd sentences which he will study
Ho will ask the talkative Indians to speak
very distinctly Into this machine , and will
afterward grind out each word slowly and
carefully , noting each s } liable , accent and
inflection. Reliable Interpreter will supply
the literal translations to every sentence-
Since no American tribe , except the Mayas ,
has ever had a written language , the philologist
elegist must rely entirely upon his ears for
correct arrangement of sounds.
For recording each sound In Its original
tone of utterance ho will use a special al
phabet of forty-eight characters , besides
many additional signs for modified tones.
For rapidity and accuracy of work ho has
had made a typewriter , which writes In
dian as clearly as the ordinary tpewrlter
writes nngllsh. In the places of the kes
operating the English tpcs are arranged
others operating the Indian sound letters.
With this ho will write Interviews with In
dians , which conversations when read will
mean the same to his cars as the original
words when spoken. Mr. Hewitt says that
In certain lexical processes the languages
of these pcoplo resemble provincial Latin
1 In a general way.
When beginning with a strange language
1I ho will commence the preparation of the
dictionary and grammar by Inscribing as
I I ? many simple sentences as possible , having
each word repeated again and again. Lists
of as many words as ho can think of will
be collected with the English equivalents
following. They will afterward ho arranged
alphabetically and printed. A Ttiscaroran
dictionary , which the philologist lately lire-
parcel , contalnes about 13,000 words. The
different case endings and other i-ioellflcel
form for the grammars will be collected
by requiring the person Interviewi-d to use
the same word In many different a.bcs ,
moods , tenses , etc.
Of all the scattered Six Nations about
CO per cent are still pagans , who believe the
ancient myths of their ancestors as de
voutly as the most orthodox Christian be
lieves the story of the bible. The bible of
the Six Nations will coinblno the beliefs of
all the tribes. Those creeds virtually cor
respond , the six tribes having descended
I from the same stock. From a previous
visit among several of the tribes he brought
back the pagan text of what may bo called
their old testament. This will be printed
as the first part of their bible , The new )
testament will comprise the new pagan
creed , an odd mixture of mythology nud
Christianity. The change In the ctceel was
brought about early In this century by a
Seneca boy , the ne-phow of Chief Handsome ]
Lake. The youth was educated In Spain ,
and , returning to his uncle's wigwam for
a brief vacation , proceeded to convert the >
old chief to the more ciedtablo | story of
the Chilstlan bible llefoio having made
Ills points sufficiently clear the young man '
died. Handsome Lake made use of the )
smattering of Christianity which ho hod
acquired and preached It among the people
of the Six Nations , The re-suit was an odd ;
religion , taken bodily from the Christian
new testament and coloreel fantastically
with tbo mjttis of the original pagan creed

LINCOLN , Aug. 23. ( Special. ) State Su
perintendent Corhctt has sent out to county
clerks ami bupeilntcmlonts the list of ap
proved high schools entitled to receive non
resident ( .indents under the provisions of
the "free attendance" law enactcel by the
last legislature , such approved schools being
exempt from the special lax levied to pay
the tuition fees of such students. The law
referred to provides for the free attendance
of students whose education cannot be
profitably carried further In their own dis
tricts at some neighboring public high
school , tuition at the rate of CO cents per
week being palel to such high school by the
county In which the student resides. The
law Is very popular In most counties and if
has resulted In bringing Into the high
schools of the state even during the first
> ear of Its operation more than 2,000 stu o
dents from the country districts , and thus
materially increasing the revenues of the
high schools. The law stimulates the high 3 <
schools to do better work and bo tends
toward a better standard for them. Stu
dents must have a certificate of proficiency
la the common school work from the county
superintendent , and this tends to encouiage
better Instruction In these schools ,
The state superintendent determines an
nually what high schools are properly
rqulppe-el as to teachers , apparatus and >
course of stuely to receive students under
the law , such schools belli ) ; exempt from the
tax levied to cover tuition fees. The theory
of this exemption Is that all districts should
provide high school Instruction for thi-lr
students who desire to take It , Such In-
etructlon being already provided at consid
erable expense ) by these approved high
schools , the remaining districts only In
each county should bo required to pay for
the tuition of students living outside ot .
theio high school district * . The tax tor
1 this purpose Is however , very slight , being
. limited by low to 1 mill.
I The list of approved schools I * deter
mined by the Mute superintendent from de-
talleel reports sent In from the principal ot
each high school. Small high schools Arc
not expecteel to maintain as many years of
high school work as the larger ones , but
every school approved must have at least
one full } ear ot proper high school work.
The list below Includes all such schools
which hnve made satisfactory reports tlili
} car up to the present time , when tax Hits
must bo completed Schools reporting later
may , however , receive students and tuition
fees tinder the law after die date of their

abatement of the extreme fright over the
silver agitation and over the other Issues
of the Chicago convention promises to no

preparations for the elections develop , opin
ion becomes more confident that the eaune

Tl.eso arc great nmellorutlonsi but here

Improving tendency that might othciwise

The bank statement of August IS showed

the It Lai minimum At the same date of
UT > . the surplus uaH $11,200,000 , and In ivil ,
$ ( ! ? , M)0roo ) To some extent , this low condi
tion of the li inks' cash Is duo to the ex
ports of gold during late months , nncl
there Is perhaps reason to hope for relief
from this same source , the foreign ex
changes
AliNOHMATj MOVHMUNT
For the spven months ending July 31 the
net export of gold from the whole country
was Jl.GGi2.000. which Is f 14 , W 000 more
than the net shipments for the same period
of 1SS3 This Is clearly an abnormal move
ment , for the exports of merchandise ( In
cluding silver ) for the last seven months
have exceeded the like class of Imports bj
1109OOO.UCO a bilancc which should have
put the gold movement In our fnvoi rather
th.m $2rt 072,000 against us , especially as the
net movement In securities between this
and other countries has not been m iterlally
against us , If at nil. It Is well known
that large sums of gold were obtained from
this center for continental remittance to
Itussla , outside the usual course of ex
change. Those operations , however , went
to the creditor side of our International
account , and theiefore may , sooner or later ,
be expectcel to either Increase the amount
of gold to bo remitted hither or to dlmln-
l h the sum to be exported by us In all
probability these Irregularities have yet to
lie straightened out , and It would , not be
surprising should we s e within the next
few weeks an Important rellux : of gold
from Europe.
GOLD IMPOUTS CnilTAIN.
The sudden development of weakness In
the exchange market and the fact that the
sjndlcate of exchange drawers have not
found It necessary to Issue any bills under
their special arrangeim nt s eem to suggest
early Importations of the metal , the more
so as rates are already close u 'on the
point admitting of a profit on sending It
iiere. Arrivals of $10000000 to $20.000000 of
gold would not only put an easier com
plexion upon the local money market , but
would help to strengthen confidence In the
gold situation In any event , our foreign
trade movement Is drifting Into a healthier
condition.
During the first seven months of the cur
rent cilendar veai , the exports of mer
chandise exceed those of the like months
of ISO" by Jlfl COO 000 , whilst the Imports show
our account with the rest of the world
to have been In a better condition , for the
last seven months , bv over $1(10,000 ( 000 than
It was for the same period of ivr , This
Is the result of a series of reactions from
various abnorm il conditions , and It cm
onlv have the effect of materially strength
ening our flnaiipl.il relations with Europe
Should the election result In the choice
of it sound money piesldent and house of
toprcsentatlves , this w holesome situation of
our foreign relations Is llkelv to be fuithci
Improved by a revival of the foreign de
mand for our Investments upon a consider
able scale and by a general Improvement of
American ciedlt nliroid. It Is therefore no
violent straining of the probabilities of the
situation to hope for a state of things
which , before the close of 1S91 , may ma
terially add to our national stock of gold
Should that possibility be reallred two Im
portant results would be gained.
SOME OP THE ADVANTAGES.
In the first place , the Inllux of gold would
materially strengthen the reserves of the
New York banks , and , In the next place ,
with an enlarged supply of gold. It would
become easier to place the treabury In n
condition that would exempt It from the
continuous drain of gold for export which
has embarrassed It since 3i > 91 the condition
which , above all others , Is needful to the
restoration of foreign confidence In our
credit and Investments Amid ho many un
certainties as surround the present situa
tion , I venture no picdlctlons , but , at the
same time , a fair Interpretation of symp
toms and tendencies now coming Into view
suggests a. probability that the two closing
months of U06 mav witness a recovery In
the financial situation which at present Is
not anticipated In the present condition of
the money market , these tendencies may
not afford a siilliolont reason for any free
buying of securities , but they do present a
very substantial reason vvhv holders should
decline to realise under apprehensions of
trouble to come.
LIQUIDATION ADOUT OVKIt.
It Is a matter of no small Importance
that the splilt of political demoralization
so long rampant has been fairly broken
Men have looked the political situation
squarely In the face : they have carefully
weighed nil the factors and chances In the
case ; they have reached fixed conclusions ,
and those conclusions are Milllelently pos
itive to .serve as an anchor In the midst
of a sea of contllctlng conditions. As a
rule , men of affairs and of bobor judgment
have come t < J the. conclusion that the bal
ance of probabilities preponderates very
largely In favor of a Hound money outcome ,
and that conviction Is strong enough to save
us from any relapse toward a panicky tem
per. Tor my own part , I look for a steady
strengthening of this feeling as opinion
matures for Its llnal expression In the elec
tion The watchers of public sentiment
see a distinct reaction from the spirit of
violent politics expressed In the Chicago
platform , and , while It may be necessary to
relax nothing In effort or expense to make
the salvation of the country siiro yet
among those best Informed It is becoming
a foregone conclusion that the decree of
next November will deliver to the silver
heresy Its quietus.
The course of the market Is In further
evidence that liquidation Is about ovoi.
Some of the big bears have not yet cov
ered , and will doubtless continue to obstruct
pronounced advance , but when they con
clude to close their outstanding contracts
Hiich buying will be an Important iilil to the
bulls In marking up prices. Stocks have
changed from weak to strong holders ,

NEW YOIIK , Aug. 23Tho stock market

cles are concerned , to sit supinely down

This program Is being pursued to the ex
tent that , not only ordinarily active shares

-aiinot , of course , last long Hut for the

t Is the only tiling which IB really cotihe-
luentlal In the current ups and downs In

Much the more Interesting tonic that Wnll
itreet has had to concern Itself with lately
ms been the development through the tac-
lea of the sterling exchange sjnillcatu by
vhlch wo are about to receive gold from
Europe Something over J.'OOOOOej Is on the
vay he-re , This was heralded with much
uirrahlng from quarters where bullish sen-
Iment Is always to bo found Some con-
iplcuous authorities have even Insisted that

nore Important , provide an Impetus for but-

This sort of talk la hardly to be trusted ,
.largely It Is fol-do-rol. The cold fact Is .
hat this gold Is coming to the United ,
Hates from Europe us the remit of an ex-
raordlnary situation It does not rellect i

NOT A fVHf3 THING.
A stock rmrket BiloMincy founded on de

any menus the sure things which the
prophets of them nr < > likely to proclaim.
When underlying pqiielltlons nrc artificial ,
made to order , established absolutely by
the strength of a money power , results me
always , even to the icl. extremely prob

now only because fe Ul exports have been

who Is taking long chances The program
of the sterling exclnpire * syndic-ate Is a gooel
program , Intended to be tonic In the Inter
ests of things which arc of Importance-
the substantial InterWts of our countiyj
but It Is a proFrnm"vUfleh ought to be con-
slelcred as an alleviation rather than a
cure.
This Bvndlcate has shown already Its abil
ity to hcael off consequences which have
been anticipated and feared bv sensible
banking Intel ests for n long time back. In
doing this it has accomplished public bene
fits of n vast value But thoue who arc

What Is Impoitnnt In the current fluc

which has overtaken the money market.

CLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATES

be Indications that It will be forced The

gan's bank , has served notice * on the clearIng -

ni h liege of using such ce-rtl'leates This
bank Is ono of the stiongest In New York ,
ami Indeed , along with Its application for
certificates It makes announcement of the
cheerful fact that It Individually has no
need for such assistance , anil makes the
application only to make It e-asler for other
mil less strong banks to come forward and
utilize such facilities.
It Is bell a } Ing no secrets to say that
other banks than Mi Morgan's are In
clined to be indignant over the va } In which
this ISHUO Is being enforced. But there- will

the Hist time In venis , shows the effect.
of an Important liquidation , and It looks
very much as If Western Union nnd the
other Gould stocks were all destined to hit
considerably lower figures
There Is nothing particularly astonishing
In this. The rcnllv strange thing Is that <
they have hitherto been able to avoid or re
