Meadow Is charged with buying railroad
brasses, belonging to the Northwestern

who are in Jail. It la reported that the
two went to the railroad yardsand, by
means ofa Jack, lifted one end of a car
and removed the brassea and then let the
car down and It would be hard to discover
that they were gone for some time. It Is
not known how many cars the boys robbed,
but they have been working at this trick
for about a week. It Is said.
Jensen says that a Junk dealer at Six
teenth and Nicholas streets proposed the
thing and offered them 3!- vents per
pound for it and sold It for 18 cents per
pound. He said that a man had to know
how to dispose of It, howfaver, to be able
to realise that much out of It. He aald
that he waa out of work and that his
father and mother are divorced and he has
no home and so he made a living atealing.
His mother he said is living at Twenty

tained Kest Fall.
By next October any unemployed In
Omaha will be given work In an indus
trial depirtment to be established by the
Associated Charities and maintained, in
a measure, by the Board of County Com
missioners.
The board of directors of the Assoc!
atcd Charities held a conference with
the commissioners and outlined a plan
of work, which met with the approval of
the latter board, the commissioners vot
ing to follow out the plan of the charlta
ble organisations. This plan Is to rent
a building south of the viaduct, which
will be of easy access from both Omaha
and South Omaha, and to there provide
work for men and women who cannot
be given employment elsewhere. Piece
work from the factories will be secured
for women and men not able to do hard
manual labor, while a wood yard will be
provided for the stronger men.
Each laborer will be paid for his work,
but instead of paying In money they will
be paid in orders for goods at the county
store, these orders to be honored by the
storekeeper in accordance with a resolu
tion by the county commissioners.
"Relief work on an employment basis
will be much more satisfactory," said
Miss Jontm, secretary of the Associated
Charltl;s. "and under this method of work
we will be able to help many deserving
people who cringe to ask for direct char
tty."

It will be decided that it is not to the
best Interest of the y tool to employ a
financial chancellor to look after the busi
ness affairs of the institution.
Chanoellor Avery has proven himself
such a good business man and organiser
that one member of the board slated that
he would be able to give the regents such
help In the financial management of the
school that It would not be necessary to
employ an outside man. The financial
chancellor, however, Is looked upon as a
certainty of the future.
NEBRASKA MILITARY A t IDEM Y
Cadets Marrh to Camp Hayward at

The week at Camp Hayward will long
be remembered by Nebraska Military acad
emy boys. They were days dear to young
hearts, brim full of the pleasures lads
love best. Leaving Lincoln on the morn
ing of May 21, the battalion marched to
Pleasant Dale, where they camped that
night. The friendly reception accorded
by the Pleasant Dale citizens was deeply
appreciated. On the following morning
march was resumed to Mllford, the offi
cial camping ground, where tents were
erected on a beautiful site Just below the
Soldiers' Home. Again the boys were
greeted with many expressions of good
will; the town was decorated In their
honor, and no effort was spared by Mil
ford residents to make the encampment a
bright spot in the academy year.
WMIe military rules were strictly ob
served, the cadets put In long hours of
fishing, towing, swimming, playing games

COLOMBIA KSGIXEERISG SCHOOL.
Marked Increase In Scope, Teaching
Staff and Stadeats.
Forty-five professors and fifty-five In
structors will make up the teaching staff
next year of the Schools of Engineering
at Columbia university, and In addition
there will be even more non-resident lec
turers than thla year, when forty-seven
SPve from one to five lectures In the va
rious courses.
This plan of lectures by non-residents
Is one of the most Important features of
the course. During the scholastic year,
men prominent in the various branches
of engineering go up to Columbia to give
the students the benefit of their years
of experience in the outside world, and
by this means the students are kept In
touch with the latest dlscoveriea or prac
tice in their chosen profession; are taught
the economic siJe of engineering, and are
belter fitted to take up their work Imme
diately after graduation. The practical
side of the work Is also given In the lab
oratories, and, as a matter of course,
the best Instructors are engaged In teach
ing the theoretical side. The engineer
who Is graduated from Columbia, Is,
therefore, well fitted In every respect to
take up his task when he receives his
degree. Among the lecturers this year have
been such prominent men as Benjamin
B. Lewrence, consulting mining engineer;
Allen ITasen, the sanitary engineer; C. F.
Scott of the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing company; Stevenson Tay
lor, president of the Qulntard Iron Works;
C. B. Going, editor of the Engineering
Magazine; C. H. Carpenter, president Her-rlng-Hall-Narvin
Safe company; J. M.
Dodge, Link Belt company of Philadel
phia, and XV. P. White, builder of the
Niagara Falls power plant. Tha lectur
ers next year will be men fully as emi
nent in their professions.
In the last ye.ir the increase In number
of students of engineering at Columbia
has been double that of any other school
of the kind In the country, and the stu
dent body Is now so large thst It has
been necessary to build a large dormltorv
at Camp Columbia and double the size
of the dining hall. The camp now raises
all Its own farm produce, and the water
Is the best In the east. The camp will
be full all during the summer with the
different squads which will be sent there
in turn, and the rest of the students will
be placed In he, shops and machine works
throughout the east, where they will get
practical vork In the courses they are
studying at the university. These facts
are set forth in the circular of the schools,
which has Just been published.

use of its engineering students who take
work and Instruction In practical mechan
ics. The apparatus is constructed with
broad housings and a deep bed. which In
sure great rigidity and security from chat
tering for all positions of the Cross-rail. On
the cross-rail are two heads, tha saddle be
ing made right and left. The cross-rail
Itself Is extra long so that either head can
be used to plane the full width of the ma
chine. The cross-feed la provided with
micrometers accurately graduated to in
thousandth of an Inch. There Is attacned
to this metal planer an electric grinder of
one-quarter horse-power, for the accurate
grinding of metal to be used In the con
structlon of appartus for the various lab
oratorios.
Two small gas furnaces have been con
structed, the greater part of the work done
by the students in the mechanical labora
tories. One is a pot furnace, to be used In
melting alloys and the treatment of steel
in an open fire, and for bronzing. The
other Is a hinge circular top, for open fire
or muffle furnace. Students use these fur
naces for the treatment of high carbon
and high speed steels.
The last number of the Bulletin of the
American MathematIC Society contalna an
article by Prof. Florlan Cajorl of Colo
rado college on the history of a method In
mathematics known as "mathematicl Indue
tlon." A great many different statements
have been made as to the originator of
this method. Prof. Cajorl quotes from
many different authors and arrlvea at the
conclusion that the method ahould be at
tributed to Blaise Pascal, and not to Fer
mat. as claimed by some writers.
Prof. Cajorl has been Invited by the sec
retary of Section A of the British Assoc In
tlon for the Advancement of Science to
contribute a paper at the August meeting.
to be held In Winnipeg.

Cincinnati high school boys have started
a movement to test a law passed by the
laat legislature prohibiting fraternities
among public school children. Commenting
on this, the Cleveland Plain Dealer says
"It Is perhaps well that thia act should
be given the test of the courts, but not as
the Ohio river lads propose, to knock It out
and establish their right to organize and
maintain secret societies. Such a test, by
indicating any weakness the present law
mav have, should point the way to Its
fortification. If the present law Is vitally
weak, It should be re-enacted In a form to
carry out the Intention of th original
measure."
That It will be necessarv to reduce th
size of the freshman class which will enter
Wellesley college next autumn If academic
work Is to be continued on plana followed
the last few year Is the conviction of Dean
Ellen F. Pencieton. expressed in her annual
report. She adds that It Is almost un
precedented for a college to voluntarily re
duce the number of incoming students.
Dean Pendleton Says thst unless It Is de
sired to Increase the college to 1,400 r l.fcnO
students the number In the freshman
classes for the next two years must be re
duced. The present classroom accommoda
tion Is Insufficient for a college of 1.300. the

OMAHA. May 29.-To the Editor of The
Bee While the effort of th Park Board
to acquire new boulevards are worthy of
commendation, yet the question arises why
do they neglect the boulevards slrcady ac
quired and partly Improved.
In Kansas City It Is well known that
boulevard frontage, be It. high or lows- is
the most In demand for residence pur
poses, while It Is also well known thai
property In Omaha on the best rrt of
our boulevard is not In demsnd. The
reason for this condition Is that there are
no electric lights slong th boulevard and
swamps, frog-ponds and unsightly shacks
ar everywhere, causing the people to
avoid driving along It, especially after
nightfall.
Commencing at 21st and Dewey avenue
on the west, there 18 an extensive swamp
and aome of the most unsightly shacks and
stsbles In town. Crossing Leavenworth
street, another swamp is passed and then
one must go around a house sitting in tho
middle of th boulevard. Why a squatter
Is permitted to occupy the middle of a
street for so many years Is not apparent,
and why the swamps and Knacks have not
been condemned Is hard to explain to vis
itors as smpie power to condemn exists
tnd the rlgh'. to assess the costs thereof
upon adjacent property, la in the city
charter.
Members of the Park Board, who lack
Interest in the work, ought to resign and
the mayor should select men especially
fitted for the work, regardless of their
party affiliations. P.

Omaha a fame has gone afar, and ancient
cities In European countries ar sending to
this city for enlightenment.
City Electrician Michaelsen is In receipt
of a letter from Out Kothelateln, Austria,
asking for Information on lighting build
ings by wireless. Th letter was written
by Tserstttt ftlramltsar, who said that
they read In European papers of the light
ing of the Auditorium during the recent
electrical exposition "by wireless energy."
The Austrlsns wrote that their city wa
about to build a lighting plant of 7,000
horse-power, but If the city could be lighted
without having a plant they would like to
know how It could be done to as to sav
th expense of building.
Mr. Mlrhselse-i will write Ysertltt A
Strtmltaer that they had better go ahead
and build their plant, though he will ex
plain th plan of Dr. Milliner, whereby the
Auditorium waa lighted through the in
strumentality of the Port Omaha signal
tower.
The letter from Austria reached Mr.
Michaelsen under this address: "Elek-trlsch-Ausstllung.
