covers, that if the school fails, the entire structure of socialism must become a crumbling ruin.” As to the appearance of the school-room it should be made as home like as possible. Years ago when a school-room was spoken of it always brought to mind the picture of a cold, cheerless, smoky interior with battered walls and carved seats. This picture is slowly and gradually changing to a room of perfect order while from the clean decorated wall may be seen the bright faces of some of our most noted men as, Washington, Lincoln and Longfellow. What a thrill of inspiration must run through the mind of the child as he looks into the faces of such men or comes face to face with nature as it speaks to him from the desk or window. Although the teacher can do a great many things to make the school better yet this can be accomplished much easier and also better by the help of pupil, patron and trustee. Since the pupil is the most important factor he can support the school by his regular attendance, earnest work, and willful obedience. By the more co-operative workof the teacher and patron a great advancement might be made. If after the teacher has worked hard from eight till four trying to teach the child of the things relating to the greatest aim in education—that of progress—if the child then returns to a home where all surroundings seem to turn him from this path, a path followed by all great men, let me ask how is the teacher to counteract these home surroundings? So I say if the | parents would lend their influences jto a greater extent the result would be unestimable. The schools might be made betj ter if the teachers were allowed j higher wages in order that they ! might make a greater preparation i for, the work they have to do.

The Ex-Ray Enables Physicians to Study Life Functions. The application of the Roentgen rays, especially in the domain of medicine and surgery, are of constantly widening usefulness, although one hears less of them in the daily press, now 'that the keen edge of novelty has been blunted by a world’s appreciation. Two fields of exploration made possible by the fluorescence of vacuum tubes, and recently entered, are of noteworthy promise. One is the examination of lung tissue in the case of consumption. The healthy lung gives comparatively little shadow in the sciagraph, while the diseased tissue has a much darker appearance in the picture. It is thus possible to ascertain exactly the part affected, and to attempt palliative or remedial treatment accordingly. The other recent use of the Roentgen ray of especial value is in observing the movements of the stomach and its contents in the preliminary digestive process. By mixing subnitrate of bismuth, which is said to be a harmless powder, with the food, the movements of the stomach may be seen by means of the fluoroscope under suitable conditions. The knowledge thus gained is of great importance to the physiologist and the physician, and many facts hitherto nnknown are revealed. It is not strange that an English writer playfully remarked that the X ray may yet be employed to read the riddle of the Sphinx. It is certain that Prof. Roentgen gave to the world a discovery which is bringing to mortal gaze many of the deep-hidden mysteries of nature.—Western Electrician.

The natives of Kottiar are in the habit of digging every year, in the summer, the dry banks of the Vergel river for fish, which they dig out by h undreds, just as they would potatoes. The mud lumps are broken open, and the fish, perhaps eight or ten inches long, will always be found alive, and often frisky, as if just removed from its supposedly native element—the water. A kind of mud fish buries itself whilst the bottom is still moist, and remains there all the summer, waking up when the rains commence again.

THE POET COWPER'S HOME.

Karate That ding to to VtatM Place, Sow for Sale. A little over two years ago were offered for sale the garden and summer house at Olney, attached to the residence which was occupied for so many years* by the poet Cowper. An announcement is now appearing of the forthcoming sale of the Weston-Un-derwood estate, which is near Olney and adjoining Yardley Chase. The property includes the house in which “the poet Cowper lived and produced some of his best work,” and also many objects he made famous by mention in one or other of his poems. It was to Weston, that Cowper was removed by the care of his cousin Lady HesketU, who found that the “cruel solitude” of the little town’ of Olney had a most depressing effect upon him, and that he must be placed in pleasanter surroundings if he was to escape any further attacks of insanity. The house at Weston, which was rented for Cowper in the autumn of 1786, belonged to his friend Mr. Throckmorton, of Weston hall, a Roman Catholic, in deference to whose religious opinions the poet hH '•entirely omitted or considerably toned down certain expressions he had indulged in with regard to professors of that faith. It was here that Cowper spent the remainder of his life, if we except the few sad closing years, and at Weston he was probably happier than he had ever been before. To this period belong such poems as “The Loss of the Royal George,” “The Solitude of Alexander Selkirk,” “The Poplar Field,” “The Shrubbery,” “The Lines to a Young Lady,” “To Mary,” and the tender and pathetic poem “On the Reeeipt of My Mother’s Picture.” It was while living at Weston that he wrote certain loyal verses on the recovery of George 111., Lady Hesketh persuading him to this course, with a viewtothe laureateship. Cowper, however, shrank from the idea of any office which would bring him into the light of the public gaze. The life led by the inmates of the house at Weston-Underwood was sketched in a letter written by Samuel Rose, a friend of the poet, to his sister Harriet, in 1788: “We rise at whatever hour we choose; breakfast at half after nine; take about an hour to satisfy the sentiment, not the appetite, for we talk—‘good heavens, how we* talk’—and enjoy ourselves most wonderfully. Then we separate and dispose of ourselves as our different inclinations point. Mr. Cowper to Homer, Mr. R to transcribing what is already translated, Lady Hesketh to work and to books alternately, and Mrs. Unwin, who in everything but her face is like a kind angel sent from Heaven to guard the health of our poet, is busy in domestic affairs. At one, our labors finished, the poet and I walk for two hours. . . . “At three we return and dress, and the succeeding hour brings dinner upon the table and collects again the smiling countenances of the family to partake of the neat and emal. Conversation again and then rest before 12 to enable us to rise again to the same round of innocent, virtuous pleasure.”—London Times.

INSECTS HOODOO A COUNTRY

They Keep Settlers Away from Many Parts of the World. Nothing could more, strikingly illustrate the importance of small things than the large role which is now attributed to the mosquito in the etiology of some of the most serious and widespread diseases- to which the human race is subject. It is truly said ihat what prevents the successful colonization of many tropical countries, und what throws the greatest obstacle in the way of civilization and of good government in vast regions of Central Africa, is- not climate, not distance from home and not unfriendliness on the part of the natives. The obstacle is malaria, and now we find that the prevalence of malaria, so far as man is concerned, depends on the mosquito, and that this pestilent little insect, in addition to irritating and annoying, is the means by which the poison of malaria is propagated and distributed. For years back botanists have known the, important part played by birds in the scattering of seed, and of insects in the distribution of the pollen of plants, and it seems not unlikely that pathologists will have to recognize in a much larger degree than has till lately been done the large part taken by the subordinate form of life by which we are surrounded—-oar cattle, our horses, our dogs and cats, our flies, our mosquitoes, and perhaps even our fleas—in distributing disease from man to man, and, as is stated in regard to the mosquito and malaria, in deciding whether the ertension of our empire over great areas of the globe’s surface shall be possible or not. —The Hospital.
