The Swiss Celebration and William Tett.
Switzerland has been lately celebrating in the canton of Schwyz the sixth centenary of its independence as a nation, and on the 15th of August the city of Berne celebrated the seven hundredth anniversary of the foundation of the town. This is antiquity which reaches beyond the legendary epoch, for Berne was founded in 1491, and the famous hunter of Uri is said to have flourished in 1307, and to have been a member of the League of the Three Cantons—Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden—which finally drove the Austrians from the Alps.
But the Tell legend, like so many of the old and new historic tales, is now generally abandoned. It was observed that the old Swiss chroniclers did not mention the story, and its first full statement did not occur until the middle of the Sixteenth century. This covered it with a certain suspicion, which has gradually developed with the demonstration that the "Tell tale" is one of the legends common to the Aryan people, and is found in its chief elements in the Persian, Icelandic, Danish and English poetry, tradition, saga and ballad.
It is none the less an inspiring and symbolic tale of heroism, and the same tendency of history to legend is curiously illustrated in this country by the story of the mysteries white brained warrior who suddenly appeared in Hadley during an Indian attack upon the village in King Phillip's war and led the villagers to victory. Mr. George Sheldon, of Deerfield, Mass., in a paper published a few years since, traced the story to a foot note in Hutchinson's history referring to a legend in Governor Leverett's family. But, examining dates, he discrétible the story. Yet the figure of the regicide cannot be dislodged from the popular imagination, nor Hadley divested of the charm of the tradition. William Tell and the regicide are as immortal as the heroes of Homer.—Harper's Weekly.

Earthworms in the New World.
But it seems certain that a very long time does not elapse before the eggs in the cocoon are fatally injured by the sea-water. The only exception at present known is an earthworm which is found in heaps of cast up seaweed on the seashores of the Mediterranean and North sea.—Chambers' Journal.
Earthworms and Salt Water.
It is a remarkable fact that in two kinds of earthworms, inhabitants of the New World, the little bristles, which are the locomotive appendages, are greatly enlarged in the tail segments. In one of these, the Diachata windle, the bristles in question are enormously enlarged and of a hooklike form, so that the creature must be able to retain a very firm grip upon the soil. These facts are surprising, as an earthworm is perhaps an animal in which we should not expect much manifestation of intellect; but, on the other hand, Mr. Romanes' discoveries about the intellectual possibilities of Sally, the chimpanzee, may be regarded as having moved the whole animal creation up a peg or two in mental caliber.-Chambers' Journal.
A very important fact in the economy of earthworms is their susceptibility to salt water; they are for the most part soon killed by an immersion in salt water, and it appears that their eggs are also incapable of withstanding its influence for a prolonged period. However, the eggs are not deposited singly, but are inclosed in large numbers in an egg case of a leathery consistence, which may be, for a time at least, impermeable to sea water. It is therefore just conceivable that the coccions might cross in safety a narrow sea inclosed in a ball of earth upon the roots of a floating tree.

The Tennis Joust. From Thursday's Journal.
The regular collegiate work of the School of Music will begin on Monday morning at 10 o'clock. The School of Art will begin its regular work on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock when Professor Hopkins will meet his classes and classify the numerous applicants for instruction in drawing and painting.
The most interesting matches of the day were played by Doggett and Childs, and Devol and Peters. The first mentioned in these two contests won by 6 to 4, 6 to 8, and 6 to 4; and 6 to 3 and 8 to 6 for the latter.
The rain spoiled yesterday morning's games, at the Dykingion tournament in Kansas City; but the sun came out shortly after dinner and playing was resumed at 3:30 according to the Times. The courts were sticky and a little heavy and the balls soon became dirty and soggy which diminished the brilliancy of the plays.
Vernon Kellogg, the youngest professor in the Kansas University, is writing a book on Kansas birds. The mantle of the lamented Colonel Goss has fallen upon Vernon's shoulders, and it is a long ways from a misfit. -Alex Butts.
The Times says in regard to another game: "Mr. Charles Marsh struck something of a dark horse in Mr. M. L. Alden of Kansas City, Kansas, and was defeated in two out of three sets, the first of which was a deuce set and was won by Alden by the score of 11-9. Marsh took the second set easily by a score of 5-2. But in the third set Alden played a strong game and took the set and match by a score of 11-9, 2-5, 6-3." Maurice Alden, the winner, is registered this year at the University. He is the son of Judge Alden of Kansas City, Kansas. The University tennis club will be greatly strengthened by the addition of Mr. Alden.
Russ Whitman the University representative did not play until today. He is very unfortunate in having a felon or boll upon his right hand. The Kansas men seem to be in it from the start and it is not far from probable that a Jayhawker will walk away with the pastry in this as in the last tournament.
Hamilton is making photographs for two dollars per dozen.
