EDUCATIONAL NOVELTY IN ITALY

v , Tleld,n® *»»alta of a most satisfactory sort. Each pupil is equipped with a combined seat, desk and sat
c..el, the total weight of which is ten pounds. Also they carry with them the needed books, pencils, paper and
ranches. Accompanied by their teachers, the youngsters, each day that the school is in session, set ol for
seme point or interest, as a historic spot or a monument. There the desks are put in position and the teacher

SEARCHING FOR SON

Litter From Far North Tells
of Mysterious Young Man.
Seattle, Wash —Rear Admiral John
A. Rodgers, tn command of the navy
yard. Puget $ound. will soon gt» to
Alaska in search of his icst son. Alex
ander Rodgers, who was last heard of
a year ago w hen he was planning to go
down the Tanana river ou a raft- Ad
miral Rodgers is impelled to make the
trip north himself hy a letter from
Rethel. Alaska, which has Just come to
hand- it is writ'en by Rob Hunter to
a friend in Bremerton, whose name the
admiral does not wish to reveal. Ac
cording to the letter Hunter was build
ing a power boat at Bethel last month
fo. a trip to the Iditarcd A young
tuan applied to him with the proposi
tion that he should earn a trip up the
river by helping buihl the boat Hunter
goes on to say that the young fellow
worked nard. but adds that privations
which he suffered had apparently af
fected his mind
For days he would not say a word,
and would th-'n talk disconnectedly of
a father in the south who had 2,000
men working for him. All of his nams
that Hunter had discovered was Alex
ander Hunter goes on to say that he
is taking the stranger along with him
to the new diggings because he Is such
a good worker and is going to give him
the Freajerton man's kit. which Hun
ter was keeping in Rethel. Hunter
closes with an urgent request to his
Bremerton friend to Join him in the
north, because he is not sure that ~AF
gxander" will prove a good working
partner.
That Admiral Rodgers believes Rob
Hunter's companion is his son is
shown by his visit to the schooner P
J Abler, which will soon sail for the
Kuskokwim. Admiral Rodgers handed
to Capt. K R. Hoffman. skipper of the
Abler. 50 letters addressed to Rob
Hunter, which are to be distributed
throughout Kuskokwim district, in the
hopes that one of them may come into
the hands of the right party.
They describe Alexander Rodgers as
twenty-two years old. 5 feet $*» inches
high, weight 150 pounds, blue eyes,
blonde hair, fair complexion, near
sighted. wearing classes when he left
home. The letters, which are signed
by the admiral, request Mr. Hunter to
wire any information from the nearest
office. Admiral Rodgers was accompa
nied on his visit to the Abler by Lieut.
John Rodgers, an older brother of the
missing man. who has recently re
turned from a fruitless search in Alas
ka. A song consultation was held in
the cabin of the P. J. Abler between
the two naval officers and A. J. Born,
owner of the Abler, and Captain Hoff
man as to the methods of the search.
When the Abler stopped at Bethel
on June IT there was no such person
as Bob Hunter there. Bethel is a Ut
tie Indian village and all she white
people know one another by name.
The letter was dated June 11. and Hun
ter states that he is handing It to Cap
tain Johnson Johnson is known as the
skipper of a small sloop which runs
between Nome and Bethel
The Bremerton mac received the
letter in Cordova and brought it down
from Alaska Mr Born cannot account
for the shortness of time between
Bethel and Cordova The only explana
tion is some mistake in the date line
of Hunter's letter.
PAY OF FRENCH PRESIDENTS
Receives S2^0.CC0 Yearly. Half as SaK
ary. Half as Expenses. Ns Ex
tras for Hospitality.
London.—The no tics; of the Eng
lish king's civil list has led Mrs.
Crawford, the Paris correspondent of
Truth, to tell how French presidents
fare in the Ratter of expenses. A
French president receives 10.000 a
year, half as salary and half -is ex
penses, no extra allowance for hospi
nitality being made except on excep
tional occasions He has no pension
He profits by few minor perquisites
outside his salary, such as vegetables,
from what were formerly the royal
gardens at Versailles, fruits front Fon
tainebleau, game from those state fo>
ests where he has shooting, and hay
for his horses front the presidential
seat at RamfcouiUet. The state pays
for his men servants in the stables
only, but allows for the coachman,
though not for a chauffeur or secre
taries. His military and naval staffs
are maintained by the war and ma
rine ministries.
Fbiix Faure. when president, ob
tained from the parliament money for
building and keeping up a palace
train. Railway companies, when the
president goes into the provinces of
ficially. are glad to give it—and any
extra cars he may want—the freedom
of their lines for the sake of the ex
cursion business this brings. This ec
ables the president to reserve the
$40,000 allowed for traveling ex
penses for tips to railway servants,
servants at prefecture*, and for char
ities
The French president never gives
less than SUV to the railway em
ployes. His contributions to charity
funds at the hospitals he visits and
donations to mayors for the poor are
Ijeavy He also is expected to sub
scribe to relief funds for victims of
fires, floods and other disasters. Yet
a French president atways contrives
to save money.

Omaha. NeTk—Thor? Is a bull mar

dryness of the season. Places where
heretofore frogs have hatched by the

Ordinarily at this season of the year

they have jumped to 50 cents per doz

REVIVE BERING TUNNEL PLAN
i
Paris Corporation Formed to Connect
Asia and America by Rail—
Scheme Feasible.
Paris.—The project of tunneling
Bering strait and connecting Asia and
America by rail is attracting renewed
attention on this side of the water.
Several Frenchmen with important
governmental relations are reported to
be committed to the plan, among
the more conspicuous being Francois
Deloncie. formerly in the diplomatic
service and now deputy representative
of the colony Cochin China.
A corporation rortned for the con
struction of the tunnel plans to utilize
two small islands In Bering strait as
ventilation towers, so to speak, thus
dividing the tunnel into three sections,
averaging in length about ten miles
each.
J. De'obeL one of the capitalists in
terested in the project visited Lon
don recently with the object of enlist
ing in it some prominent American
railway men who then were there
!_
rine of them. a retired railway presi
dent of rsst eiperienc arise now is in
France* h£d been asked some rears
aft* to become a director in a Bering
sfait tunnel com pane.
An American who has just arrired
in Paris from London says the invita
tion to this railway magnate was re
pealed Us: week, bnt it is not at all
probable that he will aceert. He has
for the present positively forbidden
the use of his name in connection
with the project At the time his
friends say he is far from regarding it
as chimerical, but on the contrary
would probably enter Into it personally
if be were younger. Careful Inquiries
are being made in Paris regarding the
character and responsibility of the
Frehchmen who are promoting the
scheme and it is said these inquiries
are in the interest cl American cap
italists.
