But one day when his father was absent attending court, Glenn took the job of teacher of a rural district, the di- rectors of which came and offered him the place. He began work before his father returned, and the latter, finding him so ambitious, decided not to inter- tere. Glenn now has 29 pupils, The ma- jority are larger and older than he, but he maintains a degree of discipline which many older and more experienced teach- ers may well envy. “How are you get- ting along, Glenn?” asked his mother one day, when he came home at the end of a week’s work. “I had to whip sev- eral of the boys,” the youngster replied. It turned out that among others he had larruped an obstreperous youth that weighed 180 pounds. Glenn doesn’t weigh much more than half that. THE CABS OF PARIS. Fifteen Thousand of Them Ply the Streets Day and Night—A Cel- lege for Coachmen. By day and night 15,000 cabs ply in the streets of Paris. A few hundred of them, blue, drawn by young, mercurial horses, driven by liveried coachman, bearing’ aeither numbers nor placques, make snobbish pretense to being private car- riages. Of the others the greater part be- long to the three great companies—the Compagnie Generale, with its blue-bel- {fed cabs; the Urbaine, with cabs deco- rated with yellow lozenges; the Abeille, with its cabs stained a dull green. In ad- dition, writes Vance Thompson in Out- ng, there are scores of small stables. where three or four cabs are sent out Many cabmen, too, own their own rigs: On the whole, however, the “Three Com- panies” are masters of the trade, train has gone, the gredt gates are shut, the turnstiles are opened, the next ordinary passengers’ train is ready to depart “on time.” This Is as far as-I tan remember the exact description of a Japdnese battalion leaving for the ' front in the Chinese war, Who can re- | yist such a nation as this?

The official who made the request is the chief of the corps of mining engineers, an or- ganization that corresponds somewhat to our geological survey. In answer io this appeal Dr. George I. Adams, of the geologic branch of the survey, has been selected for this Peruvian work wnd expects to leave early in April for 1is mew post. His headquarters will pe im the city of Lima, which is situ- red six or seven miles inland and about 500 feet above sea level. Here on the west coast of the Pacific ocean, only 12 degrees from the equator, he will still be cue sone of Washington, safely perched on the familiar 77th meridian, the self-same one that runs through Fifth Street East. of our cap- tal city.

The Peruvian government is develop- Ing the resources of the cantry, es- | pecially in the arid plain between the Pacific ocean and the Andes moun- tains. In places these mountains de- scend abruptly into the sea, but In other parts the coastal plain is from 50 to 100 miles wide. Owing to the fact that the moisture from the clouds 's nearly all precipitated on the moun- ain sides before it reaches the plain, this narrow strip of land along the ocean is a sandy desert except where It is traversed by small rivers that are ‘ed from the melting snows on the nountain sides. The population of the coast centers along these streams, which are the hope of the irrigators. Anciently, under the Incas, all this plain was watered by an extensive 8ys- ‘tem of irrigating ditches. but the Span- lards allowed them to fall into disuse. Lately some attempt has been made to irrigate this region again. The sat- Istactory results of this effort are ac- countable for Dr. Adams’ present plans. Dr. Adams will study the geologle formations of the arid district in the hope of locating artesian basins and developing wells wells. He will tale with him the latest Amer- scan drilling machinery and will have the ald of a topographic assistant and 8 well driller.
