If there is anything particularly tiresome about the fraternity system in the University of Kansas, it is to see some supposedly sensible girl exert herself to talk to this or that little brainless, simpering chump just because he may have recently been taken by a fraternity, some of whose former members she once respected for their worth.

Dr. Lee M. Matthews, of this city, recently presented to the University a few teeth of a Brontotherium. They were found in the Bad Lands of Dakota. The specimens are well preserved and are valuable additions to the collection of remains of animals that lived "long ago." The Brontotherium is an animal supposed to have been almost as large as the elephant and similar to the rhinoceros, and to have lived in the Tertiary age.
The date of the discussion has not been definitely decided upon.

have its rooms, both in the basement and at the engine house, open on Friday nights, and all interested in the workings of the department are cordially invited to call and see what practical work the students are doing. Experiments so far, have proved these lights to be better than the arch lights used in this city.
The campus will be lighted up tonight and on every Friday night, by the electric light plant of the Electrical engineering Department. As the lights were put up for experiment and to give the students actual prattle, the work of lighting up will be done by the students. The Physics Department will
We seem especially favored this year with a good class of entertainments in the line of operas, dramas and comedie which appear at Bowersock's opera house. Besides the minstrel, which has just appeared, we will have Mrs. Langtry. Si Perkins and Prescott, within the next two weeks. Some of these no one can afford to miss. They cannot be seen every week or two.
One of the most interesting experiments being tried in the department of physics is that of proving the rotation of the earth on its axis, by means of a pendulum. This is known as Foucault's famous experiment. It is made by taking a very long pendulum and by starting it to swinging, say North and South, after four or five hours, it will be found to swing East and West, and will in about thirty-six hours make a complete rotation. This is due to the rotation of the earth on its axis. By considering the time and the angle made within a certain period of time the latitude of a point can be determined.
The University will be well represented at the State Academy of Science, at Leavenworth, Oct. 29th. The professors and some of the students of the scientific departments will attend, and of course will take an active part on the program, and in exhibiting their skill. Among the instruments, etc., which will be taken to Leavenworth, Prof. Snow's "Bausch and Lomb's" compound Microscope, the finest instrument in the west, three laboratory microscopes, mounted slides, etc., will be placed on exhibit. A test will be made of the power and quality of the instruments, and of the best work of mounting done by the professors and representatives of the different institutions of the State.
Students of the University are often confronted with the question, how much does it cost, by the year, to go to the University. This question reminds us of the man who asked how much it cost to build a house. The capacity for receiving money in Lawrence is unbounded; and there is no law against spending as much as one pleases. Evidently those asking these questions have limited means; for the man who has an abundance does not consider the cost. Some students spend three hundred and fifty dollars, while others go through comfortably for one hundred and fifty. To go through comfortably, does not mean to live in luxury. Some of the best intellects that the world has ever known were developed at College, while the student lived on plain but wholesome food.
Unity Club had a most delightful social last Friday evening. A bountiful supper was provided by the ladies to which full justice was done by those who were fortunate enough to be present. After supper the time was spent in conversation and games, ten o'clock coming all to soon, and speaking for the students we can truthfully say that the first meeting of the Unity club for the year 1888 was a decided success. To-night Mrs. Annie Diggs will speak to the club on the subject of Associated Chantus, giving an interesting account of the plans adopted in large cities and offering suggestions as to a modified plan to suit our own city. The first hour from 8 to 9 a.m. will be occupied by Mrs. Diggs and from 9 to 10 the time will be spent in social conversation and amusement. Next Friday Prof. Marsh will have an interesting paper on Books. A cordial invitation is extended to all students to attend the meetings of the Unity Club.

Science Club.
An interesting meeting of the University Science club was held in Snow Hall Friday evening. Several papers were presented and ably discussed.
For some time Profs. Bailey and Blake have been studying the coal mines of southeastern Kansas for the purpose of finding the amount of heat that the different kinds of coal will produce. Last evening Prof. Bailey presented a paper in which he gave the result of his observations in the different mines. Accord-in gto the geological survey he said there were three strata of coal in Kansas, and these cropped out in the southeastern part of the State. Since the mines had been opened and were being worked it was thought that there might be more than the three strata. These veins dip to the northwest and at Leavenworth are about 800 feet below the surface. In the central and northwestern part of the State, even if these same coal veins exist they are too deep to admit of being worked. In Crawford county the Professor found a specimen of coal which was very hard and brittle and quite brilliant, having all the characteristics of cannel coal. It was found only in small pockets. The Santa Fe company owns about 1,000 acres in the southeastern portion, and is working its mines in a systematic and economical manner. In many of the mines, however, there is a great waste. The different strata average about 32 inches in thickness. In some mines it was noticed that there was a large amount of sulphur in the coal. In the southeast corner of Cherokee county lead and zinc is being mined.
"Manufacture of Moulded Glass," by Harry Buckingham and "Science Notes" by Will Snow, completed the program.
In the discussion that followed Prof. Snow said that he had read in a recent scientific journal that on account of the wasteful manner in which Anacritche coal was mined, that in seventy-five years the supply would be exhausted.
Prof. Sayre read a paper describing the Leadville mines. He had a number of accurate maps of different mines and a fine collection of specimens.
Prof. Bailey said that there was a sufficient amount of coal in Kansas to supply the State for the next 150 or 200 years.
—On Friday last the Third Regiment, Missouri Militia of Kansas City, was ordered out by the Governor to suppress the riot among the coal miners at Beveril. When the Regiment was ready to move it was found that John Sullivan, formerly well known here, and a member of the Regiment, was not present. Inquiry being made it was found that Mr. Sullivan had received early notice that the troops would be called out and bad taken the train for Lawrence in order to leave for Atlanta, where the regiment was not to be trifled with and immediately telegraphed Gov. Morehouse for a requisition upon Gov. Martin for the deserter. The papers were put in the hands of the proper officer who went to Topeka Saturday and presented them to Gov. Martin. The Governor honored the requisition and on Sunday morning the officer came to Lawrence and began diligent search for his man. About noon he found him concealed in the house of a well known citizen on Tennessee street and forthwith attached himself to the train to Kansas City. John was considerably taken aback by the severe measures taken with him, but with that self-control characteristic of him (the irreverent sometimes call it "gall") he soon regained his usual composition and as the train pulled out he was cheerfully singing, "Don't you, think I'd, make a soldier-soldier," &c."—Tribune.
