PI BETA PHI.
April 14, at the former residence of Chancellor Snow, Misses Bertha Poehler and Harriet Ayers were initiated into the mysteries of Pi Beta Phi. After the initiation a "cookie-shine" was held, and the party broke up at a late hour. The young ladies were chaperoned by Mrs. Gibb and Mrs. Smithmeyer.

Chancellor Snow has received a recent letter from Wm. Harvey Brown, who is now in Africa, offering to donate a complete set of the animals of that country to the University museum. Brown is a well known University graduate and has been in Africa almost ever since his graduation. He was surgeon in one of the English companies of soldiers that was massacred there not long ago. He escaped death by being absent at Cape Town this winter for his health. Brown has between 8,000 and 10,000 acres of Mashonaland and as soon as difficulties are over this will be worth a great deal. Brown is a great hunter and on a recent trip killed twenty elephants. The results of a naturalist's instinct have lead him to dispose of a great many fine specimens, but the set he will send to Kansas University will be the only complete one in this country.
There are to be several important additions in the electrical engineering and physical departments in the way of apparatus. This is a most important step and has long been looked forward to by everybody connected with these departments. The equipment consists of one large 100 horse power Rustle-engine which will drive a large iron-clad, direct alternating dynamo, having a capacity of 750 lights for the library building. There are to be also two high pressure boilers for the engines. The boilers are of 100 kilowats capacity and are designed to work perfectly synchronous with a large transformer used to pump water for the boiler house. The following apparatus has been purchased for the physical laboratory: one highly finished coulomb arrestor to measure one-millionth of a "Board of Trade unit," or Joule's equivalent by Hyche, of Berlin; a large galvanometer wound with stadia wires, and one small Westinghouse ohm sifter. More is expected in the near future.
