into wonderland. There are found the minute remains of mammals, so small as to be recognized only by the aid of a magnifying glass; and there also, in precisely the same level, thrown in confusedly like logs in a drift heap, are the bones of every conceivable form of reptile from the lizard to the gigantic brontosaur which attained a length of more than sixty feet. Such are the rock-written evidences that bear witness to the character of these monsters which untold ages ago stalked the shores, the rulers and scavengers of those early seas.
The Jurasic beds at Como, Wyoming were worked quite extensively by Professor Marsh of Yale twenty years ago and from there was obtained our present knowledge of the Jurasic fauna of America. These once exhausted investigations ceased for want of material. However, new localities richer even than the famous Como Beds have recently been brought to light. During the past year the University of Wyoming has secured great quantities of valuable material and has already succeeded in making their collection in this line almost equal to that of Yale. Kansas University is not disposed to sit idly by and see such a harvest reaped by a younger institution. Knowing of another locality still unworked, Dr. Williston will make every effort to send out a party during the coming summer before these deposits, like those at Como, become exhausted and the opportunity lost. Considering the size and abundance of these specimens, even a small party could reasonably hope to secure for Kansas University such a collection as has never before been added to our museum.
Chemical Notes.
Prof. Weida of Baker gave the chemical seminary a review of some of the recent chemical literature.
It is much to be regretted that the students of the University do not attend the meetings of the Science club more regularly. The meetings are always very interesting and instructive and any student who fails to attend them is missing a large part of the opportunities which are offered to him by the University for obtaining a general education.
The Yankees of the east are aping French styles in Handkerchiefs. Sorry? Hardly, for at Weaver's are blocked and hemstitched handkerchiefs with elaborately worked corners at 50c. The French make would fetch $1.50. From every source of handkerchief goodness they come to the store—the nearly six hundred styles Weaver has gathered for holiday times. And the handkerchief department has already grown too small. Handkerchiefs pop up in various places—but always and everywhere the Weaver standard of handkerchief goodness.

The Christmas Concert.
The Christmas concert given Tuesday evening, Dec. 15th, at University hall as the inauguration of the Pipe Organ Fair, was one that is seldom heard outside of the large cities. Nothing better in a musical way was ever given in Lawrence and the hearty applause given
