Meantime the Emperor of China ia havlng a fine t ime up in the nursery nailing picture pot cards on the wall and slapping the face of his Japanese doll. A mlnature coal mine will be ex ploded for the entertainment of Presi dent Taft In Pittsburgh next Tuesday No doubt it will be a real roaring suc cess. fhina Is progressing for sure. The Chinese newspaper- are getting out extras and publishing sensational stories but of course yell w Journal Ism Is right at home over there. It will require a thousand men to work the canal when it is completed. Colonel Ooethals puts the maximum capacity of the canal at twenty-f"6r ships dally. It will cost from thirteen to fourteen million dollars to run the canal a year. Including interest on the capital invested in its construction. These facts have to be considered in adjusting the toll rates. Kor two weka in November Senators Clapp and Crawford and George L Record, the latter of New'Jersey. will campaign In Michigan for the progres sive movement. It is planned to have them deliver a series of address's in various parts of the state. Their Itin eraries have nt hwn announ- i that It is not possible to say whether they will visit the upper peninsula, but they will probably confine their work to the more populous parts of lower Michigan. In a way it la a hard Job that is being cut mH fef these gentle men. There is little, or no. nucleus of a La Koiutte organization to prepare for their coming, and It doea not ap pear that they wi.M be greeted by par ticularly sympathetic audiences. Hut their visit will iiae significance nev ertheless, as it will furnish a means of Judging of the amount of La Pollette sentiment that may be lurking In the state. It will also like!;. b- marked by an attempt to complete some sort of an organization that will work in the in terests of the Wisconsin senator. One of the most novel campaigns ever put up In Michigan Is promised by C D. Bharrow. of Grand Rapids, who w ill hea candidate for state sen ator from the sixteenth senatorial dis trict. Mr sh arrow is general manager of the N. w Kra association, and one of his miKit pronounced principles is the initiative, referendum and recall ami all the n,. -t radi' al progressive measure promulgated. In speaking of his campaign Mr Sharrow said: "I shall practice my theories rela tive to the initiative, referendum and wall I shall place in the hands of the opposing party my resignation, which shall take off t at any time af ter ninety days in which they shall In able to secure a 111 per cent petition that I have failed t., oofff out the principles of my platform. I shall stand for progressive BMSMraf and princi ples. If I fail t make pood with them, so far as It Is physh all possi ble for me. all m O00Q4BSa)ta have to do ! to secure r 10 per cent petition to that effect ;ind my resignation will automatically become effective. That is the recall on me. and I will OOBM it upon myself, even though we have ,,t such a provision In our constitution or statutes'.' ON STATE AFFAIRS. S nator Mi- hael M.

"Hut the Republicans will win If that I have no doubt " He then predicted Governor Osborn's re-election as above and h "' upper peninsula rrienn.

Legislation of that kind will prove of broad benefit to the state.'' THE HATED MANCHL'S. Much of the unrest and political disaffection in China in recent years has been due to the underlying current of race hatred which the native Chin ese have had for the Manchu dynast) and its empire wide network of offi cials, says the New York Press. Al though the Manchus swept down frn. the north and took possession of the Chinese throne nearly 300 years age. there has been little mixing of their blood with that of the native Chinesi and the two peoples have existed side by side, two continually clashing ele ments. The Manchus were originally called in to aaslst In suppressing Internal troubles which threatened the over throw of the Ming dynasty. Their work T.e. they refused to withdraw but proceeded to conquer the cuuntry for themselves. In 1643 they pro claimed the son of their own ruler as the first emperor of a new dynasty, the tenth emperor of which now reigns. The Manchus have ruled China on Chinese lines of polity and in recent years have made many effort to con ciliate the natives. A few year ago it was said that of the 144 officials then forming the supreme government of the empire only thirty-two were Manchus. In the provincial adminia- tratlons the proportion of Manchus hosen in the last five years has been not more than one-fifth of the whole number. The real reason for this change, however, may be undoubtedly found in the marked superiority of the Chinese in mental equipment and in capacity for administration. Practically ail the high Chinese officials rise through a long curse of promotions from the r r ranks, and most of the Man chus have found themselves out-"tr:p..-.! .a:: it. the race by the Chinese. . The recent widespread movement for the cutting off of the queue or pigtail appears to be a part of the native rusade against Manchu domination. The wearing of the queue Is one of the few really distinctive Manchu ustoms which the conqueror enforced upon the Chinese people. TAFT IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

The walls and ceilings of a schoolroom were lin ed with a coll of wires through which I high frequency current was passed. TbO - hildren in the room were thus in the position of an iron core in the cen ter of a magnetizing coll. Fifty children were ket in this room, while fifty others of th same average age. size and mental develop ment were kept In an adjoining room without electrical treatment. It is stat ed that at the end of six months tho - hildren under the electrical treatment BboWo4 an average growth of two inch es, while those without electricity grew only 1 1-4 Inches. The electrified children showed an increase in weight and other forms of dOVOtapMOBt in proportion to their height. The electrified children Ills.) show.-d an average proficiency In their studies of 92 per cent., and tlft.cn of them showed loo p.r cent. The un el.ctrified children, on the other band.

The chronicles of the tftllversity of Michi gan have the hist Oty of the north west territory tor a n.ickgt -ound, says Arthur M. Evans, in an article writ ten for the Chicago RocOT0 Herald. Although It Is only 7" yoOM ago that the first freshman class six In num ber was enrolled, the annals run hack to Aug. 26, 1817. when the first act was passed to establish a university In the territory of Michigan. Winn the founders reached about for a name for the prospective Insti tution chey pluck. , a ripe anil lusc ious one. They christened It the "Cotholoptotomlad, or Unlvorohy of Mb hlgania." The author of tho "Cath olepistcmiud" was Augustus li. Wood ward, presiding judge of the supreme court of the territory and a man of scholarly attainments and wide vision. For the past 40 years university 'his torians have Ix.ti unable to decide whether the Jurist was a pei'nnt or I joker. Inasmuch as Michigan in 1817 had only 1,04)4) population and was without any semblance of nn organ ized school system, even in Detroit, some savants incline to the belief t t Judge w I war. I was indulging a hent for haSBjOC in perpetrating the high - sounding "Catholeplstemlud." i Min t s content i hat he w .i.-f mcrel erratic, and that his BtltQOC wor.linu of the act Of 1M7 was simply a dem onstration of that pseudo-classic man la that prevailed In the early days Of the last century. This craze ia re flected in such names as Ft lea, Troy Ath.im and Syracuse. It was still In Its glory when the tide of western Im migration, rolling .'own the Ohio riv er, d rated the Illinois band with such names as Metropolis, Gob-on. la, and Cairo. An Unpardonable Jawbreaker. Judge Woodward) however, was not to be successful in passing on to pos terity such a mouthful of a name as "Catholopistciiiiad." It was such an uiiprotiouncablc jawbreaker that It kept the pioneers perhaps from rally ing to The support of education. On April 30, 1821, the act of 1817 was re pealed and a new act was passed for Ihe establishment M Detroit of the I nn . rsit y of Michigan. The trustees did little In an educa tional way at Detroit. TJtiey appear to have busied themselves with land agents.

Ohio, and at that time it was in Michigan. Tin land is worth millions today, hut the university of Michigan sold It for a comparatively small mm soon after Its acquisition. A!". ut this period Amcrhan stu dents began to return from tlermany with m w educational Ideas. Michigan was admitted as a state in is:7. When the new constitution was framed. l!en i nil Isaac K.

The "Prueslan" s.stem. which has eea brought to high state of per fection In Michigan, comprises pri mary schools, secondary schools, uni versities: supported by public taxes and supervised by the state a com plete civil or state system of educa tion as distinguished from private education.
