And th Necessity For Cultivating the , , Art of Enunciation. Speaking Is one of those arts which people seem to think are unnecessary to study and learn, and the probability Is that most speakers of the kind mentioned nre blissfully unaware of their inaudibility. Doubtless their voice resounds comfortably In the empty spaces of their own chest and head, and this prevents them from knowing , that it does not penetrate to the auditory apparatus of other people. To be a lecturer it is not only neces sary to know your subject, but the art of enunciation and audible delivery needs to be learned also. And the souud of one's voice in one's own ears is a most misleading guide. Such people ounht to be trained by being made . to read or sneak from one end of a large room to somebody teaching them at the otber end. when they would soon find out that tones which will pass muster in a conversation are useless in a public speech. In conversation we carelessly slur half our syllables, leaving our Interlocutor to guess them from the context, but this will not do In a public speech, where people are too far off to catch the signs. Again, a word pronounced In the ordinary English way of throwing a strong accent on a single syllable and slurring the otber syllables becomes reduced to a mere monosyllable when said in that manner In a large loom. Theosophical Path. The People of Great Britain. Ethnologic-ally Great Britain is a mixture of many races, resulting from a succession of invasions. When the Romans invaded Britain the inhabitants were Celtic, mixed with an earlier Euskarian non-Aryan element. They continued to be mainly so until the fifth and sixth centuries, when the level parts of the country were overrun by German tribes. Then followed invasions by the Danes and otber Scandinavian tribes and lastly the Norman conquest. The inhabitants of England and the, lowlands of Scotland, therefore, sprang from an amalgamation of the original Celtic with German aud Scandinavian blood. Wales and the highlands of Scotland are still inhabited by descendants of the ancient Celtic tribes. The people of Ireland also are of Celtic origin, although there Is an admixture of many other races.

The defense Introduced testimony to show that Wallace struck Jesse Hilling, prosecuting witness, In self defense. The jury was only out long enough to select a foreman and take one ballot. Attorney Johnson appeared for the defense. An amusing answer was made to one of. Prosecutor Keller's questions by Wallace on redirect examination. Wallace was asked if he were divorced from his first wife. He replied in the affirmative. "What were the charges made in your divorce suitr asked Reller. "Twenty-five dollars" was the answer. Hilling testified as to the fight between the two and said he was assaulted without provocation by the defend ant. He told the court he was struck with an iron bar or dray pin, causing a deep scalp wound. According to his testimony he was struck first by Wallace and after the two had clinched he dragged his opponent to the alley, calling for help.

PRINTERS TO GIVE CARNIVAL IN CITY Plans for a six days carnival are being made by the printers of the city to be held on May 26 to June 1.

The carnival has made many successful stays in cities throughout the east. VALUE OF GRASSES. They Are In a Measure the Most Useful Plants In the World. Probably the grasses are the most usefuJ plants in the world. It may be that more than half the Individual plants in the world are grasses. It Is a great family of more than 3,500 species, embracing species that are so tiny that they hardly reach an inch in height and giant bamboos of the trop les that sometimes grow to be 100 feet or more. Corn is a giant grass, and wheat, rya, oats, barley, rice and sugar cane are all grasses. Theu there are millets, sorghum, Kaffir corn, broom corn all grasses. The number of species of grasses Is enormous, yet we have adopted Into our system of agriculture but a few sorts. In part that is due to the ease or difBculty of seeding grasses. Timothy grase, for example, is so easily sown and the seed so easily gathered that it is soonest set of any and has become the standard hay grass of northern climes. lu some regions of Kentucky blue grass is the almost universal pasture grass because It com' In of itself. In other region tirh different soil (poor and lacking lime rc?ltop has possession. Natural:; t!t faraer follows the line of least reclct'cc ;, yet it is by no means certain that he has adopted into his agriculture all the best grasses that nature has provided. Some day we shall do more toward using now neglected trasses. Joseph B. Wing in "Meadows and Pastures." The Glacial Epochs. Several times in recent years it has been observed that great explosive volcanic eruptions (Krnkatoa. Pele, Katmal) by charging the upper atmosphere in the isothermal region with fine dust have markedly diminished the amount of solar radiation received at the earth's surface. H seems evident, according to Professor W. J. Humphreys, that the offect of this process must be to reduce the temperature of the sir nr the earth, since the dust scatters a great amowrt of the solar radiation. Thus a peilcd of excessive volcanic activity, if long continned, would produce the thermal conditions of an ice age. The geological record Is said t furnish evidence that such " a ierlol actually began shortly before the last ice age and has continued with diminishing Intensity to the present time.

"V?1 INTEREST IN A LAW Regarding Attendance irhthe Citv Schools. !W Members of the Richmond school board are in a quandary as to how the parents of children attending school will Interpret the law recently enacted by the general assembly providing that all school children under the age of 14 years are compelled to go to school, and also those between 16 and 16 years of age, unless regularly employed. Charles W. Jordan, of the school board, stated this morning that parents, whenever possible would sometimes compel their chil dren to work or perform some duties during the regular session of school in their own business establishments, but according to the law, these children would be compelled . to attend school unless regularly employed by some outside agency or unless they obtained certificates from the health board authorizing absence from school. When ever a truancy case is discovered, a copy of the law is sent to the parent of the absent scholar with a request that such conditions be cor rected. Often this action on the part of the truant officer is sufficient to bring the tardy pupil back into school, Mr. Jordan said. OEHTISTSJfFECTED Those Who Desire to Practice Must Be Examined.

MARSHALL SEES WAY By Which Alien Land Laws Might Be Thwarted. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, May 3. Vice President Marshall, speaking as a lawyer and not as vice president, today cited the United States naturalization laws as a possible means to defeat all antialien land laws in California or any other state. He said: "It might be worth while to consider whether if a land law is passed by California applicable to Japanese aliens exclusively, such legislation might not open up a way of appeal on the subject of natur alization to the United States supreme court, and whether if such appeal were taken the supreme court might not hold that the Japanese are entitled to become naturalized citizens and thus thwart the very purpose cf such an anti-alien land bill. "The lower courts have held that all Asiatics are not entitled to naturalization, but the construction of the law has never been approved by the supreme court. You know it might be overturned." UNUSUAL PROCEDURE. SACRAMENTO, May 3. The California assembly today voted unanimously to suspend constitutional . procedure and put the senate anti-alien land bill to a final rote without the first and second readings. This action was taken when majority leaders in the lower house received word from Governor Johnson that he desired this plan carried out. ' The measure is scheduled to come up before the as sembly this afternoon. Democrats at first opposed the plan, but later agreed with Progressives and Republicans. 2 MEN ENGAGED IN OSCULATION ROUT When John Black, who was released from the city jail yesterday afternoon on payment of" a fine for public intoxication, saw his friend, David Williams, of Winchester, alight from a train at the Pennsylvania depot late this afternoon, he rushed to him, and embracing him, kissed him several times.

Returning to the depot shortly afterward, Lawler found the men seating in the depot waiting room hugging and kissing each other. They were placed under arrest and taken to the city jail, where they were placed in separate cells. Charges of pubintoxication were placed against the two.
