With the disappearance of the appren ticeship system there is practically no chance for most of these boys to become anything but unskilled laborers or opcr stors of some kind of machinery re quiring no special intelligence. These figures illustrate the imperative demand for a comprehensive system of manual training schools that will turn out train ed artisans and at its nnnual conven tion which is to lie held at Battle Creek, Mich., on Otoler 7 and 8, the Citi zens' Industrial Association will recom mend a plan for the establishment of Mich schools through the cooperation of the federal and state governments. It is probable that a bill embodying the conclusions of the Association and pro viding for the national encouragmcnt of practical industrial education will be introduced at the next session of Con gress. Other subjetts that the conven tion will discuss are the growth of the open shop and the incorporation of trades unions. along towards half a million dollars truly regal way of settling a dinner bet which appeals to the sporting in stincts of the 'Cirent White Wav." 389,000 instruments now in use here, enough for instance to give one to every man, woman and child in the state of Vermont, with a mere trifle of 4U.000 left over. The total number of em ployees engaged in the operation and management of the New York tele phone system alone aggregates 17,000, r several hundred more than those of the whole Bell system throughont the entire country nine years ago. The Americans are not only the greatest users of telephone in tie world, but they demand and get the most. Since every improvement in telephony is brought into use here as soon as its permanent value i proved, foreign ex perts look to this country, with New Torfc as its best example, as setting the standard for them to follow. Engineer Stegmann, of Munich, indeed, reported ing but Malaga grapes provided by her fellow firemen. Secretray J. A. Emory, of the Citi zens' Industrial Association of America, has collected statistics showing that nearly 1,000,000 children entered the schools of the country this fall. Based on previous experiences it may be as sumed that less than 230,000 of these will reach the high schools and less than 100,000 will enter college.

While a certain pro portion of these may receive some speo ial training from businees schools, by far the greater number will begin life with no guch fitting as is needed to Broadway without a new sensadion would be strange indeed, and the Incan descent Alley, as it is dubbed, is al ways on the lookout for the latest bit of excitement. Just now it is buzzing over one Russell Hopkins, a millionaire, who has wagered that he will drive a pair of Zebras up Broadway. This street has already seen strange sights of this sort as only last winter an elephant was called in to draw a sleigh ing party along it. But in tbe forth coming Zebra affair Broadway will see a real sight. In the first place, zebrae have never been harnessed in this coun try, Tbey are not what might be ealleil cheap, either, and Mr. Hopkin's under taking it is estimated by animal ex perts here will cost him somethink like $20,000 before it is completed.' 'Many animal experts hero assert that it can not be done, but Mr.' Hopkins intends to try and has already opened nego tiations for a mate for his zobra "Sing Sing." Just how soon this zebra team may be seen in public is unknown, a its appearance, may be postponed until Mr. Hopkins finishes a. yacht race from Xew'. York to Colon, Panama. The race is to be early in November and in Broadway's pVrlance is the sportiest ever, since the wager is nothing less than the best dinner to be gotten ;in New. York. To decide who shall pay for it it is possible that Mr. Hopkins and his oponent, Major Miller, will each purchase a new yacht and if this be comes necessary it is estimated that the settling of this wager will cost Xew York's firclosse for the last twelve months have aggregated about 10,000,000 or roughly fcM.OoO every Jay In the year, according to data just compiled. The average daily number of conflagrations M twenty-three, a potent ligure. It is estimated thnt fires started by carelessly dropped matches and cig arettes account for at least $2,500,000 of the total, so that Father Knickerbocker cannot be blamed if he frowns on smok ing as a dangerous habit. Every time an alarm comes in, whether it is fal or not it costs the city $30 for wear and tear of the fire apparatus, und the city also pays out something like $500,000 each year for the damage done to asphalt pavements by children's fires on the threct. The figures show that Tuesday is the fireman's busiest day as about one-fifth of the fires occur then. Tues day, it may be remembered, is the con ventional ironing day. The busiest hour of the twenty-four for the fire fighters it that between six and seven o'clock in the evening and more than one-third of all fires occur between this time and midnight, since during that pcrjod Uhcre are more lights' of nil' kinds burning, January is the month of flies, while August contributes the fewest. , SCOW BAY IRON & BRASS FORKS ASTOItIA, OKEUON IRON (AND BRASS FOUNDERS LAND AND MARINE ENGINEERS IV to 1st Hw will Jlscblnerjl prompt sttrutioo given to si. rirorfc t 18th and Franklin Ave. Tel.
