Clever Feat of Illusion Performed by an East Indian. A retlrd naval omrinl who served Ion? in the east says the feats of the East Indian Jugglers are wonderfnl He cites one. While be was au officer on board a P. and O. steamship two unlives came aboard at Madras, be says. They were a Juggler and his assistant After they had performed a number of minor fears and bad gathered quite a crowd around them tbey called for a sack and a piece of sailcloth. These having been provided, the chief Juggler made a small tentlike structure with the canvas and some stools. He then placed bis assistant In the sack and allowed a sailor to tie the knot which bound bim a fast prisoner. This done, the chief carried the sack Into au open space, warning the people to stnnd buck some distance, and then carried on an animated couversatlon with his assistant, whose replies could be distinctly beard coming from the sack. Suddenly the chief rusbed forward, picked up the sack and dumped it overboard, where, to the horror of the passengers and crew. It sunk out of sight Immediately toe captain rusbed forward and seized the man uuder the full belief that be had murdered his corupauiou. but the juggler only smiled and. pointing to the canvas, aisked that It be raised. This was ioue. aud tbe supposed drowned man was discovered squ.ittiug on the deck. So realistic had been the throwing overboard, nowever. that it was some time before the surprised passengers could realize a murder had uot been committed. How a Bird Dresses.

Tells of New Epoch in Farming Leader in Scientific Agriculture Directs Illinois Teachers to Guarantee Greater Ease and Wealth for Farmers.

Speaking before the Country Teachers' Association of Illinois Normal last evening. L. H, Malley, director ot the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell and chairman of the commission of country life appointed by ex-President Roosevelt, told facts of Interest to farmers all over the country. The subject of his address was "Leadership in Country Life," and and an abstract of the speech follows: We are meeting in one of the most prolific agricultural regions in the world. There Is probably no other area anywhere so full of the fatness of the land as the mid region of the great Mississippi valley. This Is to be the center of one of the great world units. It is important not only to you who live here, but to all people everywhere what kind of civilization you develop on these great prairies and plains. This is an epoch of reconstruction in every line of human endeavor. All institutions and ideas are being challenged. The period of human drift is passing, and we are beginning con sciously to build new civilizations. We must rebuild the open country with the rest, not because the open country is decadent, but because all society is progressing. Country Muet Solve Problems. The reconstruction of the open coun try must depend in the main on the efforts of the country people themselves. We are glad of all interchange of populations; the influx of country blood has thus far been the salvation of cities; the outgo of city people has set new aspirations into the country, and it is still necessary to call on the cities for labor in times of pressure; but stated in its large terms, the open country will rise no higher than the aspirations of the people who live there and the problem must be solved in such a way that they will meet the conditions as they exist on the spot. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the country people themselves be roused to the necessity of a reconstruction of rural civilization. Profitable Farming Not Sufficient. It is the very first duty of every man to earn a decent living for him self and those dependent upon him. We must all learn how to be better farmers; and a countryman cannot expect to have much influence on his tim eand community until he makes his farm pay In dollars and cents. But the final object in life is not to make money, but to use the money in developing a higher type of endeavor and a better society. The richest farming regions do not necessarily have the best society or even the best living conditions. Insufficiencies in Country Life. A few months ago I attended a meeting in one of the best parts of the corn belt, that was called for the purpose of discussing the condition cf country life in that region. The first testimony of those who spoke was uniformly to the effect that farm life in that part of the world was all that could be desired. All farmers who had given any worthy attention to their business were prosperous, farms were paid for, the men had the best of turnouts and some of them had automobiles, and many of them not only had money in the bank but were hank directors or concerned in other important business enterprises. The farm ers were .not complaining, and town people considered farm land a good investment. In fact, the, farmers were so prosperous that they were able to move to town at fifty years of age. I asked why they desired to move to town. The answer was, to secure good school facilities, to escape bad roads and isolation, to have church privileges and to be able to enjoy so cial advantages. In other words the country life of the region was sue cessful only on its business side, and a satisfactory rural society had not developed. The town was the center of Interest. The country was not sufficient unto itself as a permanent place of abode. New Epoch in Farming. - We have covered the "easy" farming regions, and we have been leaving the difficult regions to grow up to timber. But in the end all Country will be needed for productive uses; and the best civilization will tome only when we conquer the difficult places as well as utilize the easy ones. We shall de velop greater skill in farming than we have yet dreamed of. The raw and ragged open country that we see every where from trolley lines and railway trains is not at all a necessary condition; it is only a phase of a transition period between the original conquest of the country and the growing utilization ot the country- We shall utilize it all in time; and the more completely we conquer and utilize it, the more resourceful and hopeful our people should be. Speaking broadly, we are now in the rough and crude stage of our agricultural development. The Call for Leadership. Here, then, is a call for leadership. All the great questions of human society in both city and country are still before us. The call for leadership in city . affairs has long appealed to us, but the stir of the rural. Impulse is only beginning to be felt- This meeting of the country school teachers of the great agricultural state of Illinois is a fine example of this new impulse to leadership. All progress must come through some form of working together. The best example in the world of co-operation in rural affairs is in Denmark, where, pressed by the loss of Schleswlg, the country had to pull itself together to save Itself. A remarkable social and economic flux is now taking place in Ireland, and the work of Sir Horace Plunkett in the founding of bis co-operative movement is worthy the attention of the whole world. Our own country is not without its rural leaders. In fact. I am convinced that no country has so many. The very democracy of our thought allows

every worthy thinker, no matter what his station, politics or religion to impress himself quickly on his fellows. In this new leadership of the rural thought. I look first to the teacher to the teacher in rural cities, small towns

aad out in the open country. A whol ly new brilliance is to be the cast on this profession (I hope it may be a pro fession) of country school teaching. In our colleges of agriculture it is be coming more dignified for a young person to fit himself directly for practical farming than for school teaching; this is because farming is making relatively more progress than schoolteaching. On the teachers is reposed the obligation to keep up their end. Many kinds of leaders are arising for the coming country work, as prechaers and other religious teachers, forward farmers, unselfish business men, writers, and many ranks of pub licists; and the entire people is becoming sympathetic to this kind of work. The Country Life Commission. President Roosevelt's commission on Country Life made this appeal to service : "We must picture to ourselves a new rural social structure, developed from the strong resident forces of the open country; and then we must set at work all the agencies that will tend to bring this about The entire people need to be roused to this avenue of usefulness. Most of tht new leaders must be farmers who can find not only a satisfying business career on the farm, but who will throw themselves into the service of upbuilding the community. A new race of teachers s also to appear in the country. A new rural clergy Is to be trained. These leaders will see the great underlying problem of country life, and to gether they will work, each in his own field, for the one goal of a new and permanent rural civilization. Upon the development of this distinctively rural civilization rests ultimately our ability, by methods of farming requiring the highest intelligence, to continue to feed and clothe the hungry nations; to supply the city and metropolis with fresh blood, clean bodies, and clear brains that can endure the strain of modern urban life; and to preserve a race of men in the open country that, in the future as In. the past, will be the stay and strength of the nation in time of war and its guiding and controlling spirit in time of peace. "It is to be hoped that many young men and women fresh from our schools and institutions of learning, and quick with ambition and trained intelligence, will feel a new and strong call to service." EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. The Goal Toward Which Organized Labor Is Striving. The ultimate aim of the labor movement is to establish a condition of society, first, that will insure to each head of a family equal and ample opportunity to secure a livelihood which will be sufficient to provide bis family with the same necessities and luxuries of life enjoyed by any other citizen: second, that will enable him to give to bis children an education in whatever direct iou they may decide to follow equal to that received by the children of every other member of society. To enlarge the opportunity to secure employment the trade unions are advocating and establishing a shorter workday for Its . members. To insure equal education the trade unions are endeavoring to secure the enactment of compulsory educatiou laws and child labor laws in every state, territory and province in America, thus withdrawing the children from the factories, mines and workshops. The trade unions assert that all benefits accruing from the inauguration of labor saving devices or cheap forms of distribution sbould be enjoyed equally by all the people instead of being diverted to tbe benefit ot tbe few. The labor movement holds that all people are entitled to partake equally of the joy of living: that a condition that permits part of our people to live in affluence while another part is compelled to work long hours for meager wages should be abolished: that a condition that furnishes work to only a fraction of the people and leaves another fraction without employment and helpless for long periods sbould be eliminated from our civilization. Many claim that efforts along that direction are an iridescent dream and cannot be realized for years to come. In my opinion. It wih come. It is now approaching. It will come with tbe full awakening of the consciousness of our people, a consciousness which is rapidly growing in strength and power and is now In abeyance, awaiting the psychological moment when the great vibrating will of all tbe people has been crystallized into an active and intellectual force that will sweep aside all obstacles that resist its purpose to mete out justice to all mankind and establish among all the peoples of the earth the brotherhood of man. Frank Morrison. One Way to Cut Brass. To cut sheet brass chemically the following method meets with great success: Make a strong solution of bichloride of mercury in alcohol. With a qnill pen draw a line across tbe brass where it I to be cut. Let it dry on and with the same pen draw over this line with nitric add. Tbe brass may then be broken across like glass cut with a diamond. rtUsia Bed sad M4 ; 9 1 MUJH AMja rtiWjjra

FOOTPRINTS OF GLACIERS. They Present a Serious Problem Foe Future Generations. The site of New York city was once buried under hundreds, possibly thousands, of feet of ice. Ample proof ot

this is found in many places on Manhattan Island, the most tangible being the "footprints' of glaciers. Examine the surface of the rocks In Central or Riverside park and you will find numerous peculiar marks. These peculiar marks, called by geologists "striae. are the "footprints" of glaciers. They were produced by the grinding of pebbles upon the rock surfaces under the glaciers as the latter moved to the sea. , ' How long ago it was that glaciers flowed over Manhattan Island is a matter of uncertainty. The period has been vnriouslv estimated at from K.OOO to 50,000 years. The present trend S of opinion is In favor of the smaller estimate. . But, knowing as we do that the site of New York city was glaciated at a time remote or comparatively recent, the portentous question arises. Are the glaciers i likely to descend on it again? No human means could arrest their irresistible advance. Palatial homes, towering skyscrapers. East river .bridges, all the magnificent monuments of human achievement, would be ground into atoms and swept into the oceau. Striae, or "footprints" of glaciers, are found from tbe highest northern and southern latitudes to the equator. .Was the entire surface of the earth at one time covered with ice? Some geologists have taken that view, but tbe evidence does not warrant it That the earth has changed its axis from time to time aud is still changing it Is a fact well known to astronomers. It is conceivable, therefore, that In the course of ages, before the earth's crust assumed its present formation, the poles may once have been on the present equatorial line and the equatorial line where the poles now stand. By oscillation of the globe and consequent interchanging of polar and equatorial lines every part of the earth's surface must have been successively glaciated. Such a general lateral movement of the earth furnishes a reasonable explanation of the glacial "footprints' everywhere found. The north is undoubtedly growing warmer. Some 500 years ago Alaska was still covered with glacial ice. Five hundred years from now there will scarcely be a glacier to be found there except In the highest mountains. "The next generation will find few of them with their fronts still iu the sea." says Henry Gannett in Dellenbaugb's "North America of Yesterday." The present trend on tbe earth's axis is to push the north pole farther north. But the question is. How long will this movement continue in the present dl rectlon? It may continue until Green land shall come Again to have a tern perate climate, or It may be reversed in the near future to bring the ice back to the destruction of great cities. This is a problem for posterity. The pres ent generation need not lose any sleep over It. But some future generation may find itself confronting a serious condition. William E. Simmons In New York World. What Good Is Father T Father has always been the "goat It was always father who held the family from the achievement of its so cial ambitions. It was father who made blunders that put tbe family to shame. Father never would take to the new fashioned ideas. He was against the domination by tbe younger generation, against suffrage, against women's clubs, against the teaching of French to the children in a word, a natural reactionary. It was but nat ural, therefore, that father sbould become generally known as a back num ber, useful only in brinsingr home mon ey and writing checks. Washington Post. " East Indian Monkeys. A naturalist who has traveled in the East Indies says: "The effect on the monkeys of man's appearance is most interesting. The expression of their emotions is certainly almost human as they sit and stare at bim. coughing and snarling with anger and contempt drawing back their bends and throw ing the hand before the face with a gesture of abhorrence and other move ments indicative of shocked and out raged feelings. But predominant is the expression of absolute horror, which coining from those we consider our still degraded cousins. Is to our supe riority very aggravating." A Healthful Costume. When tbe Fraser highlanders landed In North America in 1757. It was pro posed to change the. dress on account of the cold winters and hot summers. The officers successfully opposed this and were ultimately justified by the highlanders being the healthiest sol dlers in the arm". In the campaign in Holland in 1704 some regiments lost as many as 300 from disease, but the Black Watch, which bad 000 recruits in its ranks, had only twenty-five cas ualties, including the killed In battle.

UNCLE SAM S STAKPS. Wswdorful Collection In that Poeleffiee Department Museum. . The fact that nearly all men at eotna tJme were stamp collectors la said ta account for tbe popularity of tbe official stamp collection ot tbe United States postomce department matntalued In connection with tbe postal museum iu Washington, t'ostomce department officials say luo.ooo men call every year to see the museum stamp collection. The postoffice departmeat museum is full of interesting objects, it contains almost everything from a lock of Charles Gulteao's hair to models of tbe big battleships of tbe navy, but by far its most interesting feature, according to tbe officials in charge, la tbe stamp collection. Few visitors miss that sight.' and many "hobbyists'

spend hours porlug over it. Uncle Sam as a stamp collector la a most signal success. He not only has a complete set ot bis ewn stamps, but a complete collection from every other stamp Issuing country Id to civilised world as well. Bis collection is valued by tbe department at $200,000. but stamp dealers say it would demand a figure many times that sum tt placed on the open market for sale. Tbe fact that Oncie Sam's stamp collection is absolutely complete is a statement difficult to comprehend, even to those who have been collectors themselves. Most of those who weru collectors in years gone by will r member bow many empty places there were in their albums wben tbey glo ried in tbe possession of 1J500 and 2.000 specimens. They will recall bow many new varieties above tbe 2.00)) mark cost from $5 to S50 each; also tbe small fortunes placed on some of tbe specially rare specimens, tbe kind which the dealers' catalogues related bad been printed only to tbe number of 100 or so and but six or seven were known to be In existence. Well. Uncle Sam's stamp collection possesses all ot these, besides tbe thousands of common kinds. Although tt has taken hard work, many years and a tidy fortune to do it. tbe collection today stands absolutely complete. Tbe only varieties yet to be added' are those yet to be Issued. Baltimore.
