TEACHING DANGERS OF LAMPS.
ChildrenAre Instructed in Their Hand
ling iu London Kcliooln.
Authorities in control of the public
schools of London have Introduced as
part of the system of Instruction object
lessons in the cure and management of
kerosene and other lamps. The idea is
n good one. No one element of the tire
risk of cities is more serious from the
underwriters' point of view thun the
careless use and abuse of lumps and In
tlummnble oils. An illustration of this
is found In the historic incident of tbe
great Chicago conflagration, which tra
dition says was started by Mrs. O'Lea
ry's cow, which kicked over a kerosene
lamp which had been set on the stable
floor behind her to illuminate the milk
ing operation.
To impress children with a whole
some respect for the Inceudiary charac
ter of a lump is to impart useful knowl
edge and make them through their
whole lives discreetly careful. Among
the points emphasized In the London
Instruction on this point Is the folly of
placing lamps on chairs or rickety ta
bles, or on narrow shelves; of the at
tempt to carry a lighted lamp and
something else nt the same time, and
the general lnadvisnbllity of carrying
lighted lamps nt all. It Is also made
clenr by experiment why oil should
never be poured upon a fire, either to
stimulate it or facilitate Its kiudling,
and the danger Incident to the leakage
of oil from vessels containing it Is ex
plained by methods calculated to leave
a lasting Impression upon the minds of
the children.
Some clever apparatus have been ar
ranged for illustrating the dangerous
chnracter of oil, and as children dear
ly love everything which savors of an
"experiment" the method of objective
Instruction is remarkably effective.
The children take home the ideas thus
Imparted and are constant monitors in
the family circle to remind the careless
adults of what Is imprudent in lamp
manipulation. The plan is one, snys
the New York Times, which merits con
sideration by progressive educators In
American cities.

Did Goethe Hive PockmarksT
Tne Goethe specialists have some
thing new to talk about. A Breslau
professor his discovered !n a plaster
cast of the poet's face, spots on the
chin and the left cheek which look
like smallpox marks. The savants are
now discussing the important ques

marks in his face, or whether the
spots discovered indicate mere Imper

that Goethe did have the smallpox
when he was six years old. New York

Brain-Weight and Mental Power.
It is stated by an authority that the
weight of a man's brain has nothing
to do with his mental power. The
colder the climate, the greater the size i
of the brain. The largest heads of all
are those of the Chugatches. who live
very far north, and next comes the
heads of the Laps.

In the twenty-odd palaces of th

A Prehistoric Canoe,
A prehistoric canoe was dug up re
cently in a bog about five miles from
Dungannon, County Tyrone, Ireland.
It is scooped out of an oak trunk, is six
feet long three feet wide, and eight
een inches deep. It has a ring shape
at the bow, evidently for mooring and
haulage, and also two lugs at the
stern. In the same bog a woman's
body was discovered in a remarkable
state of preservation. According to
medical opinion it has lain there for
200 years, but the peaty soil had pre
served it.
