Supt. Parish says that if those girls who carried off the University cats do not return them there will soon be not enough chairs left in the cloak room for the girls to stand on when the mice run over the floor. Chancellor Lippincott has reminded us that there is a law against stealing State property.
OREAD. — Declamation, Luella Moore, Anna Shepard; reading, Hattie Dunn, G. W. Harrington; essay, Minnie Raught, W. Y. Morgan; oration, B. C. Preston, Frank Talbot; debate, question: *Resolved*. That congress should enact legislation to restrict foreign emigration; affirmative, Cyrus Crane, H. E. Riggs; negative, D. J. Dunn, W. L. Kerr.
In the Views column of last week was an appeal in behalf of animals, which did not come in vain. The medics were melted to pity for the unfortunate beasts which had fallen under their power, and forthwith organized a "society for the prevention of cruelty to animals." Rockwell was elected president, he being the most tender hearted. Meetings are held every afternoon, and much good will result therefrom. Thus does the influence of the great religious weekly prevail.
Do those ladies who send up such a pitiful cry at the killing of a kitten "for scientific purposes," consider that the Porter House steak that they find so easily taken on these chilly mornings once roamed these boundless prairies on the back-bone of a living ox? Do they consider, also, that it would be as impossible to become an expert physician by simply reading, as it would be to satisfy hunger by simply looking over a cook book? "And he shall have dominion, etc., etc."
OROPHILIAN.—On last Friday afternoon the capacious hall of the Orophilians was filled with the usual large and appreciative audience. The program before recess consisted of well prepared literary exercises interspersed by excellent music. After recess the society met as a senate, thirty-three states being represented. One hour was spent in an interesting and profitable debate on the "Telegraph System Bill." The session of the society was much disturbed by the disorderly and ungentlemanly conduct of an invincible demagogue, pretending to represent the Democracy of Georgia. Through the leniency of the society he escaped the severe punishment he so richly deserved. Be it said to the credit of Orophilian, "There are no frictions there." The sentiment of all was unanimous in condemning and censuring the conduct of this imperious solidisant. The career of Orophilian so far this year has been most commendable and prosperous, and the zeal and unanimity with which all her members labor, bespeak for her a still more successful future.
OREAD.—Vice president Dunn called the meeting to order. Miss Thompson gave a piano solo. The regular program followed: Declamations, E. M. Cox, D. J. Dunn; essay, Miss Edith Manley; reading, Mamie Gardner; orations, J. A. Shanafelt, B. C. Preston. Cyrus Crane favored (?) the society with a music box solo. Cyrus has great
"talons" for music. After recess Miss Haskell sang a song, and Miss Bell followed with a piano solo. The regular debate was then taken up. Miss Manley was the first speaker on the affirmative, and set forth many reasons why congress should not make any more appropriations for the purpose of exploring the polar regions. Miss Pratt followed on the negative, and showed very clearly that many points made by the affirmative were not well founded. But when Miss Haskell took the floor these points were re-established, and new ones brought out. Miss Brown, the last speaker on the negative, then arose, and with eloquence seldom found in the fairer sex, again broke down the arguments of her opponents. Miss Manley had five minutes in which to close the debate, and as she quoted from the "Ladies Bazar" and "Godey's Magazine" instead of confining herself to "Harper's Bazar," as her opponents had done, the judges rendered decision in favor of the affirmative. Adjectives in all their degrees played a prominent part in the debate.
Geological Survey of Kansas.
Dr. R. J. Brown, president of the Kansas Academy of Science, spoke to the Academy and the citizens of Lawrence, in University hall, on Monday evening. He presented the arguments for the proposed geological survey of Kansas in an unostentatious but masterly manner.
He said that a geological survey is not a naturalist's collecting tour nor a topographical survey, but a careful investigation of the resources of the state. Everything found below the surface is to be explored. By the sinking of shafts the areas, depths and quality of the coal, lead, zinc, clay, chalk, lime and other minerals are to be determined, and our citizens informed of the best methods of developing these resources. Analyses of the soil will tell the farmer of lacking elements or of great fitness for certain crops. The rainfall of the state is to be observed, with reference to distribution and influence upon it of plowed land and trees. The temperature of the state is to be noted, and all else about climate, to lay the foundation of a science of the weather, by which storms may be foretold. The habits of noxious insects and remedies therefor are to be studied. The feasibility of artesian wells, coa and other mines are to be determined
The knowledge gained is to be disseminated by reports and county maps, which shall show the coals, brick and pottery clays, building stones, soils, metals, and the cost and best methods of utilizing the same. The money needed is $100,000 for a period of ten years.
In Kansas we know really nothing of our resources. The digging of a well has in each case led to the discovery of our coal, zinc, water, lime and gas springs. A systematic sinking of shafts and explorations of outcrops would lead to vast results. In other States the geological survey was the beginning of a period of increased prosperity. It will be so with us. It is to be hoped that our next legislature will begin to make the necessary appropriations to be extended over a series of years.
