Science Club.
The Science Club was particularly favored last Friday night by a talk from Professor Williston, the first that he has given in Lawrence. His subject was "The new Plesiosaur," and the importance of its discovery. The Professor was very enthusiastic over the "find," and before he closed he showed that he had a right to be. To show the relation of the new specimen to others of the same ephoc, a short account of the principal groups of the age of reptiles, the turtles, the pterodactyls, the dinosaurs, the mosasaurs, and the plesiosaurs; specimens of all these are in our museum. The collection is particularly rich in mosasaurs which were sea reptiles twenty to fifty feet long with paddles instead of feet, and remarkable for possessing the jointed jaw bone of which a survival exists in the modern snake, a structure which a gifted young lady last year described as being adapted "to assist large animals passing down its throat." The two halves of the lower jaw could be moved forward separately, the recurved teeth inserted. and, on account of the loose connection of the head bones, animals of almost any size could be swallowed. A healthy mosasam with a good appetite would swallow an ox whole without thinking much of it. The plesiosaurs are much more rare. A single specimen of the gums to which this belongs was described some thirty years ago but it consisted only of the tail and body. Our specimen begins where that left off. It consists of the head and neck beautifully preserved; it probably an entirely new species and has not been named. The specimen is worth at least $500 now and probably much more.
Prof. Stevens followed this paper with an account of the potato blight illustrated with colored charts prepared by himself. Among other interesting facts brought out it was explained that the fungus on the leaves was connected by mycelia with the tubes through the stem of the plant, and in this way it was perpetuated.
Various scientific notes were presented by the members and discussed, the talk, as usual in the Science Club, drifting into hypnotism. Some tall stories were told which the narrators were willing to swear to, but which were a little too much for the credulity of the new members. They should not be discouraged, however, for after a student has been a member of the Science Club for some time he can believe anything.
E. E. Slosson read an extract from a letter from W. S. Franklin, now in Berlin, in which he thanked the club for a couple of "Balderkers" given him last spring.
The committee on entertainments of the guests of the Kansas Academy of Science reported that their plans were enlarging and that the Science Club would "do itself proud." It is proposed to give a
public exhibition in the chapel in which there will be about 150 stereoptican and microscopic pictures thrown on the wall.
Sayre's Essentials of Pharmacy.
Sayre's Essentials of Pharmacy. The Pharmacy students have hitherto been obliged to go up and down the hill, carrying under their arms books that rival Webster's Unabridged, and to endure the contemptuous smiles and sarcastic remarks of the collegiate students who delight in being burdened with nothing heavier than a note book.
Now, however, the "Pharmics" move with quicker step, holding in their hands little blue books stamped 'Sayre's Essential of Pharmacy.' It must not be understood by this title that Prof. Sayre considers Pennington, or the Pnarmacopica "unessential." On the contrary, his hand book is based upon them, and is to be used simply as a subponent, not as a substitute. The book is one of the Saunder's series of Question Compends, and is arranged in alternate questions and answers. In the first part, the instruments used in pharmacy are described, microscopes, balances, weights and measures, etc. This is followed by a section devoted to the pharmaceutical processes from disseccion and comminution to sublimation and calcination. The rest of the pages are devoted to the description of the drugs themselves and the preparation of them. The arrangement of the handbook makes it equally suited for ready reference or class room work.

The Police Gazette has been placed on file in the reading room of the law department. This is a very feeble attempt at a joke on the law department. Even if this were so it would be much better unsaid. Such reports circulating over the state certainly do not give precedence to the school. Think of it. The Police lice Gazette having a place in the newspaper bureau! It sounds well indeed! However, it is not true. K. S. U. does not deal that sort of material.
AMUSEMENTS. BARRY AND FAY.
Those happily successful comedians, Barry and Fay, having made a run of 175 nights in New York City last season, are now making a tour of the principle cities of the country and will appear at the opera house in this city on next Saturday, Oct. 25th, in their laughter raising comedy "McKinnan's Flirtations," a play that was written for the express purpose of making people laugh. Barry and Fay are among the most popular stars on the American stage, and as delineators of the true Irish American character they have no equal. The
company with the comedians is the same that supported them during their New York run and is said to be one of the strongest and the very largest comedy company on the road, and includes a quartette of pretty girls who will introduce novel specialties.

To Millionaires.
Smiths, Joneses and Jenkinses endow colleges and hospitals to be called after them and immortalize their own distinguished names. But there is one branch of philantkropy that has apparently scarcely occurred to them, though it is worth all the rest together. It is the providing of pretty and comfortable suburban homes for working people, that too, not as a charity, but as a solid business investment.
No self respecting man or woman will accept a charity, and even the best things have no value in a man's eyes if they come too easily. But let us say a man has a couple of millions to help mankind with. Put it on a strictly business basis. Say he will be satisfied with a net return of 5 per cent. on his money. Let him buy a tract of land within forty minutes by rail of the business portion of some great city.
If there is no railroad to the tract so much the better. He can build one thither which he can govern by his own rules, the first of which shall be that the fare shall be as low as it can possibly be to pay the road's expenses and leave a small profit. Indeed, as has already been done in England, the railroad fare might be included in the workingman's rent. Then let our millionaire erect on the plot of ground after it has been thoroughly drained, planted with shade trees, etc., dozens of pretty, comfortable three, four, five and six room cottages furnished with modern conveniences. A plot of ground shall be left with each large enough for a flower and vegetable garden. There must be adjacent to the village a public park and a public hall and club house. Then let him cause it to be known that the village is here strictly as a business investment, waiting for respectable American citizens to make it their home. They can rent the houses on the 4 or 5 per cent. basis, or they can buy them if they wish for a price that will yet return a small profit to the owner, for that idea must never be lost sight of. Otherwise the investment becomes a charity, and the best class of working people will shum it as they do a charity hospital.
A village built on the line here suggested would be filled in less than no time with the families of teachers, newspaper people, clerks, business men and respectable mechanics. A society as refined, as cultured, as happy and handsome as any on earth would soon spring up in this model village. Every family would be respected and self respecting, and would belong to the 400. What millionaire will act on the suggestion, and give us Jenkinshurst or Browne by the Sea.
A priest in St. Louis has inaugurated a temperance crusade that is unique. Every man in his congregation will be watched strictly in future, and those who are in the habit of frequenting drinking saloons will be reported to the pastor. He will give their names to a committee of sixty of the leading ladies of the church. These women will see that the drunkards are completely ostracized socially by the congregation, and it is needless to say they will take pleasure in their task. Nobody will recognize the tippers in company or elsewhere, and the young men will not even be allowed to buy ice cream for their best girls. This is heroic treatment indeed. But a Protestant minister who should attempt such a remedy would not be allowed to hold his pastorate a month, such is the difference in the authority of the priestly office in the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches.

"My object in calling this evening," he began, with a nervous tremble of his chin, "was to ask you, Katie—I may call you Katie, may I not?"
"Certainly, Mr. Longripe," said the sweet young girl. "All of papa's elderly friends call me凯妹."
