Henry Barnard who hap done moro
for common edwvulon !n America per-
haps than any other ninn. celebrated
the eighty-sixth anniversary of his
birth In Hartford. Conn. his native
town on Jan. 11 soys the New York
Press. In spite ot hie four-score years
ami alx Ir. Uarnard does not think
that he la vet old enough to atop
working. Hols to ho found at hla desk
In hla beautiful library any week day
revising some ot the 800 pamphlets he
has published on educational subjects.
Ho says that after some seventy years
of It work haa come to be a habit with
him. "It's apt to be so In this climate"
he tells his frienda. The high efficiency
of our public school system is largely
duo to the onorgy and porsoverance of
Mr. Barnard. He began working to
Improve It when he was a member of
ho state legislature from V. 7 to 1S40.
when he suggested the passage of an
act providing for the recording of
school stntiKtlfw end their publication
by tho comptroller. This was followed
by othor acts among them one for the
hotter supervision of common schools
and ono for tho building of better
school houses. In JS43 he visited the
schools of every stnto In the Union and
spoko on education boforo seventeen
legislatures. Ho mado the aequalntanro
of tho loading touchers in sixty Amer-
ican cities and corresponded with
them for years after Prom 1S80 to
1842 he wa prcretnrv of tho Connecti-
cut br.ai'i r -..-iioul coinu)aloners
from m" tr is o he was school commissi-
. i t Rhode Island from
18G0 to W superintendent of Con-
necticut state schools and from
1857 to 1859 president of the Uni-
teisity of Wisconsin hon until
1807 he was busy writing on educu-
tionul subjects particularly in his
Journal of Education which he had
established In 1855. Ho also issued in
IfcGG the American Library of Schools
and Education and began to agitate
for a national bureau of education
James A Garfield was among the first
to Indorse Mr Uarnnrd's work. Ho In-
troduced a bill In Congresa effected Its
passage and Mr. Uarnard talked Presi-
dent Johnson into signing It. The
president did more than that he ap-
pointed Mr. llnrnnrd commissioner of
education Through the general In-
terest which from the beginning of his
carwr lie excired In IiIr work Mr. Ilar-
naid was brought Into Intimate rela-
tions witli many public men. He knew
personally every president of the
United States oxcopt the first three
With most of them he was on terms of
hearty friendship.
A IJopo from thn Oeuiiii.
The largest marine plant and pro-
bably one of the highest plants known
on tills globe Is a gigantic seaweed
the nereocystls the stem of which has
been found to grow as much as 300
long It wbh flrnt dlscovored not far
from the Alaskan coast but has since
been found floating In various parts of
the Pacific ocean along tho American
and Asiatic shores. Tho soiuveod grows
In a very curious manner. Large
quantities of it aro found at a little
distanco from shore and at depths not
exceeding 300 foot. On loamy bot
tom largo thickets of this plant take
root and n atom ot tho thickness of
ordinary cord grows upward. At Its
top there Is n pear shaped balloon
which grows with the stem and when
It reaches tho surfaco of the water It
often measures six feet nnd more In
length with a diametor of 4 feet 6
Inches. The balloon has of course an
upward tendency and keeps the stem
growing until It floats on the surface of
tho wator. From the top of this bal-
loon a largo tuft of strong thick spnde-
llko leave grows out. which originally
aro not moro than two feet long and
which grow and split until from the
Walloon u rose-like growth f from 50
to C5 fcot in diameter covers the wator.
This gigantic weed grows in Mich
quantities that near the shore large
meadow-like islands nro formed which
Impode navigation. Tho natives of the
Aleutian islands make manifold ucen
of this plnnt. From the Btrong dried
3tem& they make rope 260 feet and more
long while balloons of this weed fur-
nish them with large vessols after they
are dried the smaller ones bolng used
In their boats to ball out water. The
long loaves having boon dried aro cut
Into narrow strips and used for wlck-
erwork the making of baskets and
similar furniture.
Tim Work of Aula
An ofllcor of the British army while
culling upon some ladles In Ceylon
was startled by a rumbling sound. The
ladles started with affright and the
next instant thoy stood with only the
sky above them; the roof had fallen
In and lay all about lenvlng them
miraculously uuharmed! The ants had
made their way up through the beams
hollowing them out until a great part
of the framework of the house was
ready to fall at tho slightest shock

JIM DUttOAN OOULD TALK.
Ills IVriUsdlng Tongue Used In n (looit
Utilise.
Ihe crowd had been talking of elo-
quent speakers and Ingersoll Hourke
Cochran bepaw. Tnlmnge and other
notHbic orators had Ir turn been cham-
pioned by their roipecttve admirers
says the Detroit Free Pross. The old
cattleman had Ustoned to It all. and
when the talk flagged a little he asked
If anybody present had ever heard of
Jim Duncan Nobody had.
"I never heard any of tho fellows you
mentioned" said the cattle man "but
I wouldn't be afraid to back Jim ngalntt
any of em fer perauadln' ways. Jim
Duncan was a talker. I'll tell you what
he did one iinie. Just as a specimsn.
There was s fellow named Hob Ilarrh
moeu to Alliance that was tho name
of the town and he had a young wife
and seemed to be pretty well fixed.
One day lUrrls was killed uptown In a
row. Some five or six of us got to-
gether and tried to figure It out who
as to break the news to his wife
Squire Irvln our Justice of the peace
was the oldest one among us. and we
wiuiied ! iiu to go but he said lied
lathet luce n grtcrly bear than to take
such news as that to a woman. Finally
we pitched on Jim Duncan to go and
tell her he beln" so handy with hla
tongue and Jim said he wna wlllln' to
do his best. He kind of mn hla fingers
through his red hnlr hllchod up his
cravat nnd went Into Mrs. Harris'
house while the rest of us waited at
the corner In about fifteen minute
Jim came to the dooi and called Spilre
irvln in. We 'lowed the widow niuat
be cuttln' up real sharp In ten min-
utes more Jim camo out to us.
" 'How'd she stand It Jim'" we nsked.
" 'I guosa It's pretty well smoothed
over.' says Jim 'and Mrs Duncan and
me would like all of ou to come In and
have some refreshments '
"Jim Duncan shore had a perauadln'
tongue."
