THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1894. DANGER IN WRITING. EXPERTS SAY THAT SLANTING SCRIPT CAUSES DISEASE. A Korement In Favor of Vertical Script Backed by the Highest Medical Author ities Keaults of Extensive Experiment With School Children. The method of writing taught in mod ern schools and practiced by 99 people out of every 100 has bejn declared dan gerous' and unhealthful by experts. By the time the next generation matures it will probably have been wiped out. The script then will be vertical instead of slanting, and writers will sit square and upright before their work instead of side ways and stooped, as at present. The idea of this prospective reform or iginated in Germany and overspreads England while reaching this country. The following resolution was adopted not long ago by the international con gress of school hygiene in London by a vote of 229 against 1: Whereas, The hygienic advantages of verti cal writiDg have been clearly shown and es tablished both by medical investigation and practical experience, and Whereas, Its introduction obviates those per nicious positions of the body which entail ra chitic diseases and myopia. Resolved, That we recommend the introduc tion of vertical writing in the schools of the people. The effect of so serious an action in a country esteeming proper physical con ditions as England esteems them is readily to be imagined. The corresponding movement in the United States is led by Dr. Burnham of Clark university. His investigations have brought the conviction that the or dinary position in writing is among the foremost conditions of school life and methods of training which must be changed in the interest of health. The vertical script, therefore, is strongly recommended. From 80 to 90 per cent of lateral curvature of the spine is found to be caused in school life, the curvature in a large per cent of these cases being toward the right side, as a result of a defective position in writing, and the eyes at the same time are seriously in jured by this slanted writing. The practical advance of the newly approved system in this country is illus trated in the Worcester normal school and the Workingmen's school at Fifty fourth street in this city, directed by Professor Adler, where the vertical writing is used in the lower grades and now carried on to the fourth and fifth grades. The observations of foreign physicians showing that the prevalence of myopia and spinal curvature is regularly in creased in the advance through the school grades are supplemented in this ' country by work on novel lines. An en ergetic course followed by Dr. Shaw of the University of the City of New York has given additional proof that the cause of the difficulty is to be attributed to the desks which are generally in use, and more especially to the bad position in writing, the opinion being held with ap parent unanimity by investigators in this country as well as abroad that all but two positions to be taken in the school practice of writing are improper. One judged Id be correct is the oblique central position ana the other the straight central position, between which in reference to final choice the contro versy in Germany is said to be fierce. The advocates of reform observe that the child writes vertically when he first goes to school, and that the teacher has to work for the slant. -The vertical writ ing and the central position at the desk are alike naturally indicated. At this stage the controversy has led to the con clusion that the height of the desk and that of the seat must be equally adapted to the growth of the pupil. In some of tha nrnirrpssiTfl srhnrk1a aa TiVli-r ArHai'a and at South Orange, N. J., adjustable seats are being used. The point in Dr. Shaw's recent, experi ments, made with the aid of several as sistants on more than 1,300 pupils in the New York and suburban schools, has been to see whether, with the paper di rectly in front of the pupil and with the eyes closed, there could be any tendency toward vertical writing. The pupils were first requested to take the custom ary position in writing, and to write in the ordinary manner the sentence, "John is flying his paper kite." This form of exercise was selected on account of the number of long letters which it contains, and as being one also that is easy for the child to remember. After having thus written the sentence, the pupil was di rected to take the straight central posi tion, dip his pen in the ink and with his The closing of the eyes was to elimi nate from the child's mind the conscious ness of the slant. The angle .of slant in all the long letters in the test papers was carefully measured, the angle of slant in the usual writing in each case being also found with the same precision. The measurements and the calculations ran up to 8,600 items, and among other issues of the work was the invention by a lady of a machine for making the measure ments. New York Press. The Development of Pants. While there have been many changes in the styles of coats and waistcoats, trousers have come down to the present not greatly changed. Diodorus Siculus says of the Belzie Gauls that "they wore close trousers, which they called brac cae." The Roman invasion brought bare legs to Britain, and the braccae of the Gauls were discarded for the new order of things. When the Romans took leave and were succeeded by the Saxon, the braccae was compromised by a style of short drawers reaching half way down the thigh and . stockings coming up to meet them. The drawers were called breech or hose.- - The time of Elizabeth saw the cover ing of a man's leg develop into a con spicuous part of the attire of a gentle man. The cavaliers wore what were termed the petticoat breeches, and knee , breeches followed the absurd petticoat pattern. Trousers for infantry were in troduced into the British army Sept. 12, 1812, while cues and pigtails disappeared by general order July 20, 1808. Wash- jmgtonStar. : , f Satan's Sign Manual. ' A Bates county farmer saw a bolt of Jlghtning strike in the center of one of his fields, ana Deing curious to see the effects of the stroke visited the spot.

Why Flowers Sleep at Night. Why should flowers sleep? asks Sir John Lubbock in "The Beauties of Na- I ture and the Wonders of the World We Live In." Why should some flowers do so and not others? Moreover, different flow ers keep different hours. The daisy opens at sunrise and closes at sunset, whence its name "day's eye." The dandelion (leontodon) is said to open about 7 and I close about 5; Arenaria rubra to be open from 9 to 3; the white water lily (nym phcea) from about 7 to 4; the common mouse ear hawkweed (hieracium) from 8 to 3; the scarlet pimpernel (anagallis) to waken at 7 and close soon after 2; Tragopogon pratensis to open at 4 in the morning and close just before 12, whence its English name, "John go to bed at noon." Farmers' boys in some parts are said to regulate their dinner time by it, Other flower, on the contrary, open in the evening. Now, it is obvious that flowers which are fertilized by night flying insects would derive no advantage from being open by day, and, on the other hand, that those which are fertilized by bees would gain nothing by being open at night. Nay, it would be a distinct disadvantage, because it would render them liable to be robbed of their honey and pollen by in sects which are not capable of fertilizing them. I have ventured to' suggest .then that the closing of the flowers may have reference to the habits of the insects, and it may be observed also in support of this that wind fertilized flowers do not sleep, and that many of those flowers which attract insects by smell open and emit their scent at particular hours. Thus Hesperus matf onalis and Lychnis vespertina smell in the evening, and Or chis pif olia is particularly sweet at night. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Value of Old Books. A young man writes from St. Joseph, Mo., to a dealer in this city that he is offering for sale, through stress of hard times, a very rare book, presumably "the oldest book in America." The vol ume is printed in Dutch, is in perfect condition and was published more than 300 years ago. The present owner, whose letter proclaims his illiteracy, believes that he has a veritable treasure. He will be terribly shocked when he discov ers that his treasure is worth in the mar ket not more than $5. Age alone gives value to but very few books. Yet the average person has an idea that if a book was printed long ago it must necessarily be valuable, and, what is curious, different people differ as to the dales that make a book old. There are'those who fancy that a volume printed 100 years ago must be esteemed very old and very rare and very valu able. Others show you with pride a Hudibras printed we will say in 1750, or a Bible printed 200 years ago, and these volumes are cherished because of their antiquity. A very worthy lady living in Massa chusetts recently exhibited with an elab orate flourish a volume of sermons bear ing the date of 1785 a volume she rev ered, loved and treasured because of its age. A few moments later she gave up to the writer without any hesitancy a charming little 1827 reprint of the New England primer. Chicago Record. The Color of Electricity. At a meeting of the British Meteoro logical society at London, Shelford Bid well made a remarkable experiment, showing the effects of electricity upon steam. It is a well known fact that the shadow of a jet of steam cast upon any white background under ordinary cir cumstances is of feeble intensity and of a neutral tint. But, however, if the jet be given a discharge of electricity just at the moment when it comes in contact with the air, the density of the shadow is amazingly increased as a result of con densation, and it assumes a peculiar orange brown hue with lines and waves merging into inky blackness. Mr. Bidwell, the only person to my knowledge who has ever made these ex periments scientifically, suggests that the electricity promotes a coalescence of the exceedingly minute particles of wa ter contained in the jet of steam, thus forming drops large enough to obstruct the more refrangible rays of light, but why the color of the shadow should change from neutral to shades of at least three well denned colors he does not at tempt to explain. From one of his late articles I gather ideas which point to the intense blackness of thunderclouds be ing due to pimilar causes. St. Louis Re public. Club Bale. In New York. I was somewhat shocked last week while sitting in the Knickerbocker club, where I was busily engaged in alternate ly gazing on those tiresome wall paper bouquets and garlands and in keeping up a desultory conversation with the only two men of my acquaintance left in town, to see a man whom we all knew nod to us as ne passed the club window, although accompanied by his wife. This is certainly very bad form. A man should show more deference to his wife than to any other woman. Of course he knew better than to bow. One is supposed never to recognize a woman acquaintance from a club win dow. Otherwise we approved of him. vogue. New Office Requisite. Visitor Why do you have that dog sitting on your writing desk?

Following is a reply, by John' P. Fay, to an article published in the Oregonicn on the 28th inst. and repriuted in The Gazette: Portland, Dec. 29. In reply to the ar tide in yesterday's Oregonian, entitled "Railroads iu Court," permit us to say we bave received no notice of oar removal as the attorneys for E. W. Hadley, receiver 'on probation" of the Oregon Pacific railroad. Iu view of this fact, we are not :it liberty to criticise the above entitled article, nor the pretended order of Judge Fullerton therein quoted. If it should be necessary to go into the details of the Oregon Pacific more fully in the future, we shall then, no doubt, be able to speak with perfect liberty. For the pres ent, we care only to say tbat for ten months of continuous work, on the part of Mr. Gest and myself, involving a labyrinth of complex and difficult legal propositions, embracing and exploring every field of corporation, com mercial and admiralty law, we have received the sum of $6,311.99. Out of this, consum ing it and much more, have been paid our court costs iu Oregon, California and New York, and expenses of travel, together with the expenses of appointing Mr. Hadley re ceiver in New York, and obtaining the books of the Oregon Pacific in that city in the hands of Colonel T. E. Hogg, who paid his attorney to resist us the sum of $5,000 as a fee. Moreover, the former receiver, Colonel T. Egenton Hofctr, paid for legal expenses dur ing the 26 months of his administration the sum of $96,000, and the same were allowed by the referee duly appointed by the Benton county circuit court. Iu comparison with this we feel that the amount paid us is a de cided retrenchment, and we, therefore, wholly fail to understand how the most ser ious charge made vgainst the management of E. W. Hadley as receiver could be the ap pointment of ourselves as his attorneys, and excessive payments thereto, and more especi ally since we have never received a salary from the receiver. Whatever autnhas been paid to us has been allowed by Judge Fullerton, and or ders approving the items and directing the payment thereof are on file, either in the court of Benton county or in the records of the receiver, so that we fail to appreciate the finding of the Judge that Mr. Hadley "has paid his attorneys, especially, entirely too much." At this time we cannot criticise the above remark. As we were not present at that hearing, we are unable to state what tactics may have been used to impress this erroneous idea upon the mind of the judge, but it is evident some one has a personal end to serve, whose wish was father of the thought, has varnished the facts and grevious ly imposed upon the court. Judge Fullerton is reported in this article as saying that "Mr, Hadley, the present re ceiver, took charge in March or April last. At that time the promise was made by cer tain eastern bondholders that if Mr. Hadley was appointed thej would subscribe the sum of $40,000. Some time afterward this was done. I was not consulted as to the distri bution of this money, which was paid out by Mr. Hadley and his attorneys without any advice or instruction from me. I do not think it rightly done." As to this statement the $40,000 was obtained after long and dif ficult work in New York city by myfelf and my associate, Mr. Pendleton. It was sub scribed as a fund to be paid only upon the old unpaid labor claims of the Hogg admin istration, which were still in the hands of the employes themselves. The full history of this transaction seems temporarily to have escaped the memory of Judge. Ful lerton. A reference to the judge confirms my statement and shows that one of the ezpressconditions npon'.which the $40,000 would be paid byjthe Blair and Wharton bondholders was that it should be paid di rect to the laborers upon claims of laborers upon claims of labor due to them, which they personally held Jand had not disposed of, and not to'those Shylocks, who, crawl ing between'heaven and earth, by ways that 'out-Herod Herod," and "blur the grace and blush of modesty,' had in the hours of dire suffering, squeezed out of these labor ers their labor claims, at from 25 to 75 per cent discount on the dollar. ' We did no intend to pay those cold-bloodedknaves, and I am gratified to saythey did not get a cent of the $40,000. If this differ from the court's criterion off justice, I rejoice that all men are not made alike. But 1 must re mind the judge that he expressed to; Mr. Gest and myself, and I think jlso'to Mr. Hadley, his most unqualified approval at the time the payments were made. "Tem pore mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis." We are satisfied that in the suit now pending in the circuit court of the United States, for the district of Oregon, and en titled "Charles Altschul vs. the OregoD Pacific and Willamette Valley & Cascade Railroad companies, and E. W. Hadley, re ceiver," involving the Jland grant of 843, 000 acres of land to the Willamette Valley & Cascade Mountain Military Wagon Road company, and made np of voluminous re cords and documents, I involving several thousands of pages of manuscript and cov ering a history of former litigation through !TT"VrjRELY a vegetable compound, -J made entirely of roots and herbs 1 gathered from the forests of Georgia, and has been used by millions of people with the best results.

Swift Specific Co, Atlanta, Ga all the lower courts to the supreme courts of the United States, no lawyer, capable of comprehending the details of this suit and writing an answer therefor (as was done by us, which we modestly say was heartily approved by attorneys in New York and Philadelphia), could be hired to undertake the work for less than a retainer of $5,000. In addition to this is the suit of E. W. Hadley against the Anglo-California bank et al. for steel rails, or their value in money equal to $98,000. We are satisfied no rep utable attorney would have investigated all the details of the history of this transaction and have brought the suit, except upon previous payment of a generous retainer. Besides this is another steel rail suit involv ing $25,000, and the intervention of the re ceiver in the suit of Cue vs. the Pacific Con struction Company, involving $172,000, to say nothing of a thousand and one queetiona and complications that have continually arisen in the administration of this" receiver ship. For all this work we have received nothing as pay, and the court has the bene fit of work which no private person could have obtained, except upon the payment of large retainers. But be all arguments what they may, we unhesitatingly present the legal expenses of the Oregon Pacific re ceivership under Mr. Hadley, and challenge, for economy, comparison with any other de partment of the receivership. We are not disposed to shrink from any responsibility properly resting upon our shoulders, but in due time we shall strongly invite every one to bear his own burden. Very respectfully, John P.
