The road boasts of nine _ locoomotives, a gasoline coach and a number of the old original emigrant coaches relics of the days of ‘76 when the Central Pacific was first operated, The V. & T. however. has always kept these old coaches ‘of our cities; the incendiary; one who uses the match as a means of revenge, Or in ances. community property, of an institution that is built and maintained to educate and make good citizens out of our rising generation is something that it is quite hard to believe any sane indivdual would countenance. Yet it has been donein the case of our high school and there is no doubt about it. Now the question naturally arises, who would do such a thing? Certainly not any sane adult who is taxed to maintain the schools. No. we must seek within the school itself for the this conflagration and when he is found he should be made an example of, for the crime of arson is a very serious offence.

These small organisms, which have such interesting posthumous value, lave found in all kinds of water, quiet od moving hot or cold, and saline or fresh. Some of them moOve freely, jothers attach themselves to various . objects, but all absorb mineral salts from the water in which they live. They make skeletons of silica out of this mineral matter in much the same fashion that oysters make shells out of lime taken from sea water. Diatoms multiply rapidly, but their life span is short. After they die the organic matter decomposes, and the skeletons sink to the bottom where thel gradually build up deposits of diatomite. It is estimated that there uates of rural schools and the life of the great cities, is pointed out to-! day in a statement issued in this city by the general manager committee ; in charge of the twelth annual observance of Public Schools Week,! April 20. “The problems of the rural schools is not altogether a strictly rural one,’’ the statement declares. “Such is the fluidity of our population that a large number of childern whose education has been received ; in a rural school become residents and that they should have had equal education opportunin a state of good repair.

The statement continues: “The problem of rural education is not pecular to California. There are 170,000 rural one-room shcool ‘houses in the United States; over one half of all the school children are enrolled in rural schools and are eing thaught by approximately onehaly of the total number of public . school teachers. “In school equipment, in buiding, in length of sessions, in training of teachers, insupervisions, in curriculum and in financial support the rural child is denied an even. opportunity with the ciye child.

Common names of diatomite are: diatomaceous earth, tripolite kieselguhr, and infusorial earth, although material is not diatomite, says Paul Hatmaker, in a report recently published by the Bureau of Mines. More than. ten thousand varieties of diatoms have been studied and slassified. Among the more important are the Coscinodiscus which resembles a golf ball in appearance and the synedra which is long and forms are common. Others are of every conceivable shape and size, but all are very relatively tiny. Their geometrical designs gre fanciful and intricate. They maybe short or long, triangler, in the form of a half-moon, or ladder-shapped; in fact the variations are almost infinite. Diatoms are uncicellular, and are described as being like pill boxes, with two halves that fit on each other snugly. They range in size from that of.a pin’s head to minute particles visible only with microscope of high magnification, Diomite is widely distributed States has the largest commercial beds and leads in world production, with Algeria second. In the United States the most important commercial deposits are in California, although diatomite is produed in Oregon, Nevada, and some of the Eastern States. uses because of the wide adaptability ofits: extraordinary physical .
