The school children in Kansas who are not old enough to tackle foot ball play whip cracker. Thus the average of compound fractures is equalized in the common schools and the institutions of higher education.—Kansas City Star.
A couple of the students played that old, old "snipe-hunting joke last week. The victim who held the bag was one of our bright commercial students.—Baldwin Ledger.
We are glad to say that Baker College is the only institution in the state where that joke would be successful.
Seneca is talling about enlarging its city limits because it has a boy who passed his first examination at the University with an average percentage of 100.—Ex.
There are nearly 10.000 young men and women attending colleges and universities in the state this year. There are over two dozen state, denominational, and private schools for higher education in Kansas, and every one of them is prosperous.— Humboldt Union.
We once stood for a whole afternoon, with feet on a six inch scantling and hands elonging to the top of the board fence around the K. U. athletic grounds, while a few feet away stood Chancellor Snow in the same position cheering the K. S. U. team on to victory with all the enthusiasm of a boy, and we ceased to wonder why K. U. always won.—Argo Reporter.
Professor Bernard Moses was recently elected president of the University of California —Ex.
The Hawkeyes may be able to do a little kicking around home that looks like foot ball, but they ought never to travel.—Kansas City Star.
We hope it will not take him forty years to lead the pupils out of the wilderness.
Prof. M. A. Bailey, of Emporia, has just published a new mental arithmetic. The good professor has made such stuady of this subject that weary students of the State Normal in olden days were wont to wonder if his initials didn't stand for Mental Arithmetic.—Ex.
Nothing in the world improves a woman's appearance so much as a becoming hat or bonnet. The Misses Engle have the largest and best selected stock to choose from in town.
You may talk of dates expressed by figures; you may go into ecestasys over the dates that grow on trees, but the sweetest of all dates is the candidate.
“Alas! alas!” exclaimed the towel, “what have I done that I should thus be placed upon the wack?”
Courteous treatment and a large and well selected stock are the secrets of the success of Misses Engle.
ANCIENT ASTRONOMY.
Much Knowledge Possessed By the Egyptians 5,000 Years Ago.
We find in the table at the Rames
seum distinct references to the bull, the
lion, and the scorpion, and it is also
clearly indicated that at that time the
star Sirius rose heliacally at the begin-
ning of the rise of the Nile.
This word helicically requires a little explanation.
The ancients, who had no telescopes and had to use their horizon as the only scientific instrument which they posessed, were very careful in determining the various conditions in which a star could rise. For instance, if a star was rising at the same time the sur was rising, it was said to rise cosmically, but unless certain very obvious precautions were taken, the rising star would not be seen in consequence of the presence of daylight.
It is quite clear that if we observe a star rising in the dawn it will get more and more difficult to observe the nearer the time of sunrise is approached. Therefore what the ancients did was to determine a time before sunrise in the early dawn at which the star could be very obviously and clearly seen to rise. The term "hellical rising" was coined to represent a star rising in the dawn, therefore, before the sun.
Generally throughout Egypt the sun was supposed to be something like ten degrees below the horizon when a star was stated to rise heliacally.
We find, then, that more than five thousand years ago the Egyptians were perfectly familiar with these facts and the difference between a cosmic and heliacal rising was perfectly clear to them. At the table at Thebes tells us, moreover, that the sun's journey in relation to some of the zodiacal constellations was perfectly familiar five thousand years ago.
These, then, are some of the more general statements which may be made with regard to the most important points so far discussed by those who have dealt with Egyptian astronomy, and it may be added that this information has come to us in mythologic guise.
The various apparent movements of the heavenly bodies which are produced by the rotation and revolution of the earth and the effects of precession were familiar to the Egyptians, however ignorant they may have been of the causes; they carefully studied what they saw and attempted to put their knowledge together in the most convenient fashion, associating it with their strange imaginings and with their system of worship.—Nineteenth Century.
