Noted Kansas Fungi Collector Earns M. S and D.S. Degrees Without Ever Attending College
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
How a man received Master's degree in computer science degrees without ever attending college, was told by Elam Barret of Stockton, Kauai, who attended the meeting of the Presbyterian Synod in Boston, six weeks with his son who is a minister.

Mr. Bartholomw cemes to Kauai
and the state of Hawaii, hometied
instead of upon which he lives.
He was interested in the form
of that section and began to collect
the records.
One day some time later when he was in the field plowing, a man came up to me and asked, "Do you know?" I am Professor Keller of the department of botany at the Karnegie Institute.
After talking for some time, the professor stooped and plucked a leaf from some growth at the bottom of a nut tree, turning it into a compost pile. The site fungus, Mr. Barthelmore said that the turning over of this leaf by Professor Keller, was also the turnover of his life. From that time on, he kept his compost pile, including toad stools, puff balls, and all marasite growth including saprophytic. He also made a study of the soil which grown on wheat and corn.
Last spring, Professor Melchers of K. S. A. C, wrote to Mr. Bartholemey saying that the council of Deans of the Agricultural College on recommendation granted him an honorary degree of Doctor of Science. The thesis for this degree is now in the State printers in the form of a book called "The History of Medicine."
In 1898 a professor at the Agricultural College write and asked that Mr Barbholzone apply for a Master's degree in horticulture to farm and knew the work which was being carried on. The thesis for the degree was "The Plant Rust of Kanada." In 1902 the report in every kind of plant rust to be found in this state. The report was published in the transaction of the Kanada Board of Regents granted the degree.
The Bartolomow farm is composed
Light Lost by Reflection
of 1040 acres. A fire-proof laboratory containing scientific equipment specimens and collections valued at $23,000 is a part of the farm.
Leaves Absorb Varying Amounts of Color Rays
Nearly 500,000 labored specimens have been sent out from the laboratory to growthin grithed by Mr. and Mrs. Bartolheim who traveled in every state in the Union, into Canada and Mexico collecting specimens for the museum. The expenses to get this, too, he said, "but we knew we would make it back in the long run, for we could sell the specimens in our laboratory."
--in Lawrence
Mr. Burbkoweld or how after working in the field all day, he would come to the house and begin his relaxation from the daily toll in the fongus grove. After the microscope study at age I, spent many hours studying at night, thinking that I could see better with the artifical light than with the real one.
"This in all the result of 40 years of research work," he said, "I did not go to school other than the country school in Illinois, my childhood was in it. I know not use to label my specimens I dig out of a book by myself."
So important are his discoveries that the governmentoses out an army at Washington, D. C., who worked with Mr Barbillonow for some time in 1934, and a team of kindles of corn and 200 specimens, victories, and strains of alfalfa have been cultivated.
The upper and lower surfaces of the same leaf have very different reflective powers, which is clearly seen above but shining white beneath, reflected 8.5 per cent of the deepest rays from its underside, with rays from its under side.
The laboratory now contains 100, 000 alphabetically arranged specimens labeled from the trips taken over the United States and abroad. For some time Mr. Barbhoseh published two magazines, "Penguin" and "North American Credinate," and they have been discontinued.
Urbana, Il., Oct. 20. **Leave are by no means 160 per cent efficient in their work of making food with the aid of cultural sunlight.** In addition to giving off, as hot beet, a part of the sun's rays is absorbed to absorb part of the light that falls on them, simply throwing it back by reflection. Researches on this reflection loss by leaves were reported here today before the meeting of the North American Society of Forest Prof. Charles A. Shull of the University of Chicago.
The department of botany at the university of Kansas contains a Barholmew collection of 18,000 labeled specimens, all of Kansas.

Autumn coloring had a great influence on the reflecting power. The red leaves of the woodshed reflected the light, while the dark green leaf did of violet. Their total reflection, however, was for less than that of the bright yellow birch leaves, which were reflective to a greater extent, light, as against only about 13 per cent for the woodshed leaves.
Frederick E. Lee, A. B. 11, has resigned his position as executive dean of the University of Maryland and has been appointed by the Commercial Trade Commissioner at London.
Different leaves reflected different proportions of the light that fell upon them. The thicker leaves were most reflective light of different colors in different percentages. Thus, the upper surface of a rose is about one-fifth of the violet hues, and 20 per cent, or nearly three times as much, in the yellow-green part of the rose.

"Kirbu the Unkissed"
Pays Early Morning Cal
The campus had an unimual, although not unknown, visitor yesterday. With his long red beard, his baseball socks, and his bright red sweater, he was quickly identified as, the famous "King of the Uninssed."
Kirby was walking, as usual. He did not, however, have a sign upon his back, following his usual custom. He did not stop for an interview, although he is usually very willing to give up and expects to arrive at his destination.
MeGrill who married another famous familii kiker, did not do so well in his matrimonial relations and as a consequence obtained a divorce. Perhaps he was wrong with himself "Kirhy the Unisex" made for the undoing of his matrimonial ties.
Kirby's ambition is to let his red board grow to his knees. At the present time he has 10 inches long, so his board being about 10 inches long. His home is in Tongaquine and he is the only one of the islands in it is affected with the "wunderland."
