Chicago professors still lead in re-

Germany's financial enthusiasm

awarded $1,000,000 by a decision of
the French court can now choose her
count or prince, unless she prefers a
duke.
A man cannot make a balloon ascen-

consent of his wife. It's getting so a
man can't even get oft the earth on his
own responsibility.
The agricultural department has
discovered rats that are afflicted with
pathogenic haemogregartne hepato-
zoon pernlciosum. This Is even worse
than arterio-sclerosis.
Down in Rio they figure that by
1915 there will not be any stored up
surplus or visible supply of coffee in
the world; but what can they tell
about the chicory crop?
As a matter of fact, Christopher Co-
lumbus or some other worthy person

If the sultan of Turkey heeds the

It is said that there is enough coal
in Alaska to put off the fuel famine
from the exhaustion of coal which had

The New York board of education is
struggling with a matrimonial epi-
demic, which is devastating the
schools. And to add to the horrors

What chance has a young man to
Mse in the employment of a large cor-
poration? is a question frequently
aBked. Of course it depends largely
on the young man; but according to
a statement recently sent out by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, 67
of the 86 principal officers o' the com-
pany started at the bottom and worked
up. A fact like this is worthy many
volumes of theorizing on the subject.
Queer things are alleged to get into

not cause surprise. She was eating
sausage when she bit a tack and broke
a front tooth. Thereupon the lady
went into court, and u Jury has Just
awarded her $2,000 damages. That is
Ihe New England spirit, snys the Bos
ton Herald. The Bostonians of pre-
revolutionary days made strenuous re-
sistance to the tax on tea, and this de-
scendant of resolute ancestors con-
Histently draws the line at tacka in
anusages.

Austin, Sept. 8—The relatively ple-

fund at lue outset of the fiscal year Is

current administration. The school
fund available this year will be par-
titioned among the scholastics of Tex-
as at the rate of $6.75 each, the larg-
est apportionment in the history of
the state. The per capita tax last year
was $6 and when it was fixed by the
board it was declared to have been
the largest yet made. It was fixed
that the apportionment this year
would be over $6, but the fondest ex-
pectations of the patrons of education
was surpassed when the apportion-
ment was determined. The scholastic
population of the state numbers 914,-
054, against 893,441 last year, an In-
crease o' 20,593. The apportionment
this year is 75 cents higher per capita
than lasu and the available school
fund aggregates 6,169.729 against $•">.-
360,64:' last year, an lno-ease of
083.

WRIGHT'S AIRSHIP IS SUCCESS.
In Two Flight* He Show* Aeropla<i«
Completely Under Control.
Washington, Sept. 9.—If Orvillf
Wright demonstrated In hlB previous
flights that he had conquered the
problem of flight, he showed yesterday
that he was literally king of the at

spectlvely eleven minutes and ten nee
ouds and six minutes and thirty-four
seconds.
During these flights which occurred
at 5:55 and 6:28 Tuesday evening he
demonstrated most perfectly the con
trol which the operator has over the
machine. He circled, as usual, only In
oue direction, but this was owing en-
tirely to the small size of the open
field over which he had to fly to avoid
dangerous landings. He flew high
and flew low; he flew fast, fl^w wide,
flew slow and flew in narrow circles.
He made the machine slant at a steep
angle and s»vept around corners like a
bicycle rider going around a stage
slant track and he curved in wide,
easy circles, as a bird might fly for
pleasure.
