Everyone who brought 15 cents to school Friday morning was quickly relieved of It and given a ticket in Its place. The whole assembly was canvassed but only 83 tickets were sold. The only trouble was that not enough students brought the 15 cents. However, more rooters were secured than would have been if 25 cents had been charged, and the money end came out about the same. The first game of the tennis tourn ament was played Wednesday even ing at 4 o'clock. The contestants were Raymond Badger and Elton Beeson. The first sot went to Radn or with a score of 7-5; the next to Beeson, 6-2, and the last to Badger, 6-4. Beeson seemed to be the most finished player, but Badger's height 1 AT TOE CHURCHES g j il .

Last Friday evening about fifty Oregon Trail Girls were Initiated In me nign school gym. it may seem strange that all the charter mwnbers should be initiated, but nevertheless they all had to walk the plank, or whatever they did.

Odessa Is one of the most important seaports of Russia, ranking, by reuson of its population and its foreign trade, after Petrograd, Moscow and arsaw, Since It was founded In 1704 near the ruins of a Turkish fort that fell into Russian hands in 1780 it has rapidly become the intellectual and cammcr- cinl capital of what is called New Rus sin. It Is the principal export town for the extensive grain growing dis tricts of south Russia, the see of an archblshon of the Greek Orthodox church, the center of a flue university and the headquarters of the Seventh army corps. The port lies on the shore of the Black sea. about midway between the estuaries of the Dniester und Dnieper, 9(17 miles from Moscow and 381 from Kiev. The city is built fnclng the sea, on low cliffs, seamed with deep ra vines nnd hollowed out by galleries In the soft rock, in which, thousands of the noorest Inhabitants live.

Prohablv the World's Most Isolated Wireless Station. On Swan island. In the Caribbean sea. is situated what is probably the most Isolated wireless station In tbfc world. The station crew is made up nf three operators, two engineers, a cook, a machinist and three laborers, No women ate permitted to land on the Island. Men who express a will bigness to go to Swan island are oblig ed to sign a contract whereby they agree to remain at least eighteen mouths or waive their right to free re turn transportation. Those remaining the full period of service are returned to their homes by way of one of the Central American ports and are grant ed six weeks' vacation with full pay. Straneel.v enough, there Is no diffi culty in obtaining men to map the sta tion. Applicants. Indeed, exceed the number of vacancies. Board and lodg ing, of course, are supplied, a boat bearing all provisions necessary, lu eluding fresh meat, and the mall as welt, arriving regularly every two weeks. Some men have remained on the island as long as two years and n half and. subsequently, have been glad to return to the station. Philadelphia Record. Six Follies of Scianca. The six follies of science are the squaring of the circle, perpetual mo tion, the philosopher's stone, the elixir of life, magic and astrology. In all ages men of undoubted ability have tolled early and late to unravel the mysteries supposed to be connect ed with these fascinating problems. It is not always remembered that such Intellectual giants as Bacon. Sir Rob ert Boyle nod Sir Isaac Newton sought the philosopher's stone. In the study of astrology Lilly was for a time even pensioned by parliament Most of these "follies" conferred In direct benefits upon science, for In seeking one thing their devotees dis covered many another. The craze for tbe secret, or unknown, has still its bold upon men and is seen In pal in is try and kindred cults. Exchange. Cactuses of Arizona. Arizona has more than a hundred kinds of cactuses, and Tucson is tbe center of the great cactus region of the southwest. These odd plants range In size from the noble sabuara. or giant cactus, forty or fifty feet high, to small pincushion cactuses au Inch or two In diameter. Sabuaras grow In great abundance in the foothills between Tucson and Yutna and are always ob jects of wonder. It Is believed a large plant is at least 200 years old.

A Tarribla Engine of Death Which Works Automatically. Early in nfe mrnm Maxim showed himself a marvelous genius as an in ventor. An incident of his boyhood, in which the recoil of a rltle attracted his attention to an apparent loss of pow er, led him in 18S1-2 to utilize the force of the recoil to good account in a gun which loads itself automatically and fires at the rate of 770 shots a minuto by the power of the previously wasted force. The Maxim machine gun Is an en gine of terrible destruction. This gun has only single barrel, which, when the shot Is fired, recoils the distance of three-quarters of an Inch on the other parts of tbe gun. This recoil sets mov ing the machinery which automatical ly keeps up a continuous lire at the ex traordinary rate of twelve rounds a second. Each recoil of the barrel lias there fore to perform the necessary functions of extracting and ejecting the empty cartridge, of bringing up the next full one iiiul placing it in lis proNr posi tion in the barrel, of cocking the ham mer iiml pulling the trigger. As long us the tiring continues these functions are repeated round after round in nipiil succession. The barrel Is provided with a water Jacket to pre vent exces; Press. live heating. Philadelphia GOING ROUND THE WORLD. Tho Gain or Loss of One Whole Day In Making the Trip. In sailing around the world eastward the (lays are each a little less than twenty-four hours, aeccrding to tbe speed of the ship, as the sun Is met a little earlier every morning. These lit tle differences added together will amount to twenty-four hours. This gives the sailors au extra day not in lmagliiatiou, hut as an actual fact. They will have done an extra day's work, eaten an extra day's ratiou of food and enjoyed an extra night's sleep. On the other hand, in sailing west' ward the sun fs overtaken a little each day, and so each day Is rather longer than twenty-four hours, and clocks and watches are found to be too fast This also will amount In sailiug around the .

Thcro are few men in the United States who can equal Mr. Richardson as an organizer of com mercial bodies and a creator of popu lar interest and activity in civic af fairs. He did a spelndid work for Oregon, and was for many years a factor In the state's progress and de velopment. ' Mr. Richardson is a firm believer In the value of newspaper advertis ing for community exploitation, as well as commercial publicity. He sent thousands of marked copies of the annual trade number of the Houston Post all ' over the United States In order to tell effectively Jhe story of the development going on in that part of the country. The issue of the Post of October 10 contains a solid pnge of letters, received from prominent men In every part of the United States, expressing favorable opinions of Mr. Richardson's work and of the paper itself. The results of this publicity effort show clearly the value of the press In every de partment of advertising. It shows, also, the value to a community of a first clas3 newspaper, and how it may be made a real factor in Its progress and prosperity.
