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

were Raymond Badger and Elton
Beeson. The first sot went to Radn

Beeson, 6-2, and the last to Badger,
6-4. Beeson seemed to be the most
finished player, but Badger's height

"ODESSA'S RAPID RISE.
In Com mere and Inttllact It U the
Capital of Naw Russia.
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 noorest Inhabitants live. But above

LIFE ON SWAN ISLAND.
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.

number of vacancies. Board and lodg

the island as long as two years and n
half and. subsequently, have been glad
to return to the station. Philadelphia

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

Arizona has more than a hundred
kinds of cactuses, and Tucson is tbe
center of the great cactus region of

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

MAXIM'S MACHINE GUN."
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

GOING ROUND THE WORLD.
Tho Gain or Loss of One Whole Day In

In sailing around the world eastward
the (lays are each a little less than
twenty-four hours, aeccrding to tbe

little earlier every morning. These lit

amount to twenty-four hours. This

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'

day, and so each day Is rather longer
than twenty-four hours, and clocks and

Naming a Race Horse.

yearlings tbe Duke of Portland and
another peer bid together for a tine

was very keen. At length over 50U

"If we go on at this rate." said the
other peer, "we shall be paying far
more than the creature is worth. Sup
pose we buy It between us?"

later on they had a discussion as to
what the horse should be called.

Tom Rlchi'.rdson, the father and
founder of the Oregon Development
League, Is doing a similar work for
Texas, as secretary of the "South
and East Texas Development
League." 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.
