SIXTH BI-ENNIAL REPORT.
The report of the Regents, Chancellor and Faculty has been issued from the State Printer. This is the sixth of the series of Biennial reports and is designed to show the present condition of the University and of its various departments. It contains also the estimates for the two years ending June 30, 1894 as made up by the Regents in their November meeting. They say that "this table is made up after a most careful consideration, in full Board of each item. We believe the expenditure is justified by the work which the Uuniversity is doing, and by the helpful influence which it is exerting upon the educational interests of the State."
This seems to be the key note of the report. The University of Kansas is a different institution from what it was ten or even five years ago. It has already relinquished most of the ground which it then held in common with the secondary schools and has at the same time strengthened its collegiate and professional courses. The system of elective studies is fully and fairly presented in the Chancellor's report and the reasons are given why this method, though somewhat costly in the claims which it imposes upon the instructors' time and strength, is after all, more efficient and satisfactory than the method of a fixed and prescribed curriculum. The Chancellor also recommends as a means of still further strengthening this collegiate work that the entire Preparatory Department be given up without delay. This recommendation is best given in the words of the report itself.
"The efforts that have been made during the last few years to diminish the amount of instruction given in the Preparatory Department have been received by the people of the State with such unqualified approval, that I am led to believe that you will be sustained in discontinuing the entire work of the Sub-Freshman classes. Such a step would undoubtedly, for a time diminish the aggregate enrollment of students, but it would effectually and forever remove the imputation that the University of Kansas is collegiate only in name; and it would result finally in an enlarged patronage and a more solid prosperity. It will make the University more than ever conspicuous among the Kansas colleges. It will attract to it many of the best student's of the State, who now seek the higher education in the East. It will relegate to the preparatory high schools and academies the entire field of the secondary education, in which the
State University, indeed, has no right to be a competitor with them. It will greatly stimulate the other collegiate institutions of the State. But far more importance will be its influence upon the direct educational work of the University itself. The younger and more immature student will, very properly, remain longer in the home school or in the academy, where, confessedly, the method of government allows students to pursue the entire teaching force of the institution can be give to legitimate University work. Post-graduate courses can at once be established for our own graduates, and for those of the other colleges of the State.
These considerations lead me to con-clude that immediate steps should be taken to a speedy discontinuance of all preparatory work in the University. The classes which are announced in the catalogue issued last spring (1888) should undoubtedly be organized at the opener of each September number of the current year. A failure to do this would seem like a public breach of faith. Likewise, also, the classes thus received should have opportunity for full preparation for the Freshman class even if such preparation require more than one year. Into sub-freshman classes thus received and holding over, can be performed with perseverance; but in my judgment, with this exception, it may safely and wisely be determined to receive no more sub-freshman students after the collegiate year 1888.-9."
There can be no doubt that the discontinuance of the Preparatory Department as determined by the Board in accordance with this recommendation of the Chancellor will greatly broaden and develop the work proper of the University. There are many topics which ought to be offered as optionals in the Junior and Senior years which it is now impossible to present. Besides there ought to be found in the University the amplest opportunities for post graduate studies. Graduates of the University itself and of other colleges ought to be attracted by the well furnished libraries and laboratories as well as by the superior instruction offered for such students in the various departments. Hence it is that the Chancellor recommends a "material increase of the Board of Instruction." "We have reached a crisis," the report goes on to say, "in the development of the institution. Its growth has been solid, yet marvelously rapid. It already stands, and by their recognition, among the best colleges in the land. Its growth has been secured by the enthusiastic co-operation of Faculty, Regents, Alumni and undergraduate students. If now it shall falter or hesitate to make use of its position to secure further advance, it must inevitably retrograde. Shall it fall back, or shall it continue its development towards the high ideal which its friends have en-
The "estimates" referred to above furnish the answer which the Board of Regents makes to this inquiry. They have asked the Legislature for appropriations commensurate with the needs of the University. All friends of the institution will mark with pleasure this evidence of continued growth. It is true that the mere expenditure of money does not make a college but it is a truth equally patent that a college cannot be maintained without liberal outlay. That the Regents know how wisely to expend the money placed at their disposal is shown in the past history and present condition of the University. We believe that we but gave expression to the wishes of the people of the State when we record the hope and the belief that the Legislature will give the Board all they ask.
Tite Lawrence Journal advises the authorities to chain down the benches and grand stand of South Park and also warns the base ball association to look after the seats at the ball park. It fears that after some cold night, these articles will be things of the past, as good kindling wood is scarce and in demand. The base ball association might do well to heed these suggestions as it is no small undertaking to raise money each year with which to secure seats, etc.

If a dear little Swipe,
Should indulge in a hope,
That the draped up a lady a heart
In her easy way,
A rinsen should display,
To a Bowersock, witty and smart.
Don't you think he'd feel cheap,
And indulge in a heap
(flanrage that would make a man
star)?
If the matter should be mile,
And, after awhile,
Produce its exact counterpart?
So the boe's may blew,
And think that they know
the wiles of a St. Louis dame;
But they quickly preive to believe
that she gets to re just the same.
THE NEW KANSAS BOOK
This has been a great year for Kansas books. Gov Martin E. U. Howe and before the year is out Prentis will have added new books to the Kansas shelf. Perhaps one of the most charming books by a Kansas authors will be Miss Hattie Horner's "Not at home." The book is to be a collection of Miss Horner's charming newspaper letters from the west besides sketches and stories written in Miss Horner's charming manner. The book will be published by John B Alden, of New York. This is the second Kansas book Mr. Alden has published. Mrs. Alberton's "Poems of the prairies", being the first.
Miss Horner is a graduate of the State Normal and has written many things which is full of beauty and grace and her new book will be very welcome.
"STAND UP TIMES," was the heading of an article in the Courier in a recent issue commenting on one of our exchanges, the Heaperian. As we do not wish our readers to take the verdict of only one of our exchanges, we submit the following clipping from the Washburn Argo. "A number of the Times published at the K. S. U., has found its way to our table. The paper is ably edited and certainly gives promise of a long and useful life. We would warn the Courier to look out for its laurels."
Also the following from the Washburn Reporter: "The K. S. U. Courier shows questionable taste by inflicting upon its readers a column and a half editorial on 'The Late Political Contest'." And the following from the Cornell Era;
The exchange editor haying examined with critical eye this weekly budget, of two dozen or more exchanches, is prepared to propound the following generalization, and to maintain it by evidence, that the farther west and the more provincial the imprint of a college paper, the more slangy and vulgar will be the tone of that paper. The climax of their tendency is seen in the Courier, published by the students of the University of Kansas.
The Courier claims "The largest college journal circulation in the United States." is largely edited by a gentleman named Mushrush, and bears this motto at the head of its editorial column: "The Lion roareth, the whangdoodle mourneth, but the Courier goeth on forever."
Objection has been raised to the plan of work adopted by some of the K, S, U. debating clubs. In one club, the chairman calls upon the members in turn and announces to each a subject upon which to speak after he has reached the floor. This method was disapproved on the ground that a speaker should know, in substance what he is going to say, before he tries to say it, and that to speak without forethought is to exaggerate, and make statements which are entirely groundless. Repeated efforts of this description, forms a habit of making statements without regard to truth. The plan certainly has its advantages, it stimulates mental activity, and furnishes expression for thought. One may be as wise as Solomen, and still lack power to convey his thoughts to another; he may enjoy his hoarded knowledge, but is cut off from bettering the condition of his fellowmen.

The new firm of Hagar & Davis have hung out their shingle on Massachusetts street, soliciting Loan and Collections. Mr. E. C. Davis has been recently connected with the Tribune and is well known in the University. Mr. A. G. Hagar is a K. S.

Mr. — is trying to introduce a new method of gaining the attention of the young ladies. He has become much interested in the science of "mesmerism," and now endeavors to exert an agreeable influence over the female portion of his classes by eyeing them in the prescribed "mesmeric" fashion, much to the amusement of his subjects.
How many students in the University do not take and read a daily or a good weekly newspaper? Whether or not we can afford to come here and familiarize ourselves with the history of every age but this and at the same time be ignorant of what is transpiring in our own country is at least worthy of consideration.

Perry, it is feared, is so badly injured that he will be unable to continue his studies at the University.
The latest excitement in oratorical matters comes from Missouri. It seems that the originality of the winning oration in the State contest last year has been questioned. The writer of it is said to have plagiarized from the oration delivered here at the Inter-State contest in May,'86. The oration was entitled "Mob and Law," and was delivered by H. H. Russell, of Ohio.

A Suggestion.
We would like to call the attention of the students, who are just entering the University, to the desirability of keeping a file of the University papers, that you may be taking. Many students doubtless after having read the papers over, never think of keeping them. Others through carelessness or negligence lose several copies and then give up the idea of saving them, entirely. Of course you may say, "what use are they?" As soon as I read them, I do not care for them after that". Certainly, we will admit, that their intense value is not great. That even a copy of the Times is not worth as much in absolute value as an equal quantity of gold-leaf. But after leaving the University, the old halls and class rooms old friends and scenes of many happy hours, then is the time when you would prize a file of old papers. How much they would re-call, what fond recollections, what pleasant rememberances How many names almost forgotten they would bring to mind. How many pleas ant occasions, how many college pranks and practical jokes, a little line in this or that week's paper, would call before us Here is an account of a party you attended. Do you not remember how charming she looked upon that occasion, what beautiful eyes, how she stole away your heart and —, yes, but now you have all most forgotten her. Another has cap tured you instead. Then there is an account of that old ball game. Don't you remember how well our boys played and when the game was almost lost, won it? Don't you remember how you swung your hat and cheered? Why of course you do now. Then there is that literary fight. How anxious you were to be orator. But that barb and frat combination defeated you. Why, only a few years will pass, before you will forget "Who stole that book?" with all its many answers and vexations. Only a little time, a few months, a few years, until these days will be truly the days of the past. This is not merely sentiment of foolish fancy, but substance for sober thought. We know of college boys—now boys no longer, old and gray haired men—who hold their old college papers and memoirs as sacred as their Bible. Even go to many of the Alumni of our own University, only a few year have clapped since they have left old Oread, and ask them for a look at their old file of papers. See how highly they value them. No, this issue of the Times may not amount to much. There was nothing startling in the last number o the Review. But wait. Lay them away and see if time will not add to their value. In a few years you will hold a file of college papers, almost as dear, as you hold the remembrance of college days them selves. If you are not keeping a file o the Times or Review, begin at once. I will pay you.
Miss Alice Pettee of Osage City, was married last Tuesday to Mr. Ainsworth, of Toledo, Ohio. Miss Pettee was a student of the University three years ago, and was always a special favorite of her associates and teachers. The charming bride has always been a leader of society of her native city. The groom is a young man of sterling habits and prefers a bride from among the fair daughters of the "Sunflower State," to all others. The best wishes of the TIMES for their future happiness follows their pathway through life.

Exchange Gleanings:
From a glance at the Washburn Argo it is easy to see that A. W. Brewster can edit a college Magazine with the same facility that he can strike out the K. S. U. Ball Nine.
The Westminister Review for November contains an excellent article on "The Novel."
The *Hesperian* was the second exchange we received but we think it has been discussed sufficiently by our esteemed contemporary, so we will say nothing more about it for the present.
The Review for November is the most attractive number we have ever seen. The articles on the other colleges of the state is certainly a novel and instructive feature, while the manner in which the local matter is arranged calls forth the praise of all. The issue certainly reflects credit on the editorial ability of its editor-in-chief, Mr. V. L. Kellogg.
Unity Club.
Last Friday evening the parlor of the Unitarian Church was crowded with an audience to hear Mr. C. M. Emm's "lecture on" The Russian Schoolboy's "literature."
Mr. Eans is thoroughly acquainted with his subject and gave his audience a delightful glimpse into that country which we are wont to think of only as the land of Nihilists.
The translations read showed that the minds of Russian children are nourished by about the same class of stories as is found in American school books—though perhaps more wild and rugged.
It is by means of literature in the schools that the people are reached. The children are continually reminded of Russia's greatness, and are made to feel that Russia and the Czar are one. By inspiring a love of the country extends to every city, mountain and stream, and so thoroughly did that class of literature do its work with the speaker that he felt that in leaving Russia he had lost a Paradise, but a Paradise which he has no desire to regain so long as he holds his present political views. The address to Moscow, and to the caucasus were especially fine.
The speaker said that Russia has no great literature like that of England or of Germany—that her greatest writers are still living, but he felt hopeful for the future.
The lecture was full of pleasant instruction and many expressed the desire to hear Mr. Enns talk again on some phase of life in the country of his birth

Railroad Accident.
A STUDENT.
Last Wednesday week as the south bound passenger train on the Southern Kansas railroad was crossing a creek about four miles north of Baldwin, the bridge gave way, the baggage car and two coaches going down. The engine luckily escaped being wrecked, and proceeded to Baldwin after taking on board G. L. Perry, a University student, who was one of the worst injured. Several persons were pretty severely hurt. Quite a number of the students were aboard on their way home to say "grace" over the family turkey. The sudden stopping, caused by a broken rail and a rotten bridge created not very dignified rush toward the front end of the car by those seated therein. Durby hats, broken seats, the dignified man and the small boy, all joined promiscuously in the procession. The rich man lost his pocketbook, the near-sighted man his gold spectacles, and we all lost our dignity and many of us our senses. One lady with the evidence intention of crawling through a finger and the way she demolished that window glass without cutting her hand to pieces, was a mystery to all. When all were out of the coaches, some seated on ties, others lying on the ground, we must have presented to a hard hearted, disinterested spectator, a very amusing appearance. At last our engine appeared returning with a stock car and in this aristocratic concern, we procured to Baldwin, there to exchange it for cars more suited for our comfort and a little more to our fancy. Accidents on the railroads are of frightful frequency and the Southern Kansas, now a branch of the Santa Fe, at its best days was but a poor excuse of a road and it is badly out of repair. And if not already condemned it should be. The road is so rough that it is actually almost necessary to hold on to the seats at times, when no accidents are occurring, to keep from being thrown across the car by the rocking of the train. Yet while this accident was not due to any carelessness or neglect on the part of any one on the train, conductor or engineer, it certainly was due to the criminal neglect on the part of the company to keep the road in repair and it is no more than right that they should pay heavy damages. The company should be either compelled to keep the road in repair or surrender, their franchise.
Oratorical Association.
F. E. Rae and J. A. Mushhrush presented the claims of the two contesting factions, and did so in a manner acceptable to professional lobbyists. The legality of the shares in dispute will soon be decided.
NOTES.
The Oratorical Association controversy is at last to be amicably settled. The committee appointed by the faculty, met the members of the association, last Monday for the purpose of arbitration. The shares owned by the following persons were admitted without question, as legal namely Chas, Johnson, J. C. Fox, F. E. Reed, Joe Shellbarger, Edggar Martindale, R D. Brown, V. L. Kellogg, F. J. Craig, C. E. Street, W. A Snow, H. F. M. Bear, A. F. Roberts, Denton Hogboom, J. M. Challis, Mark Otis and L. D. DeCamp.
Some of the shares seem to have passed through many hands.
"To be or not to be" a share holder is the question which the committee decides to morrow.

MONDAY, DEC. 10.—"LOST IN LONDON"
NEWTON EBENS
For an all around, well equipped troupe commend us to Newton Beers" "Lost in London" Company. There is, too, a freshness and originality in the speciality features that is delightfully surprising.
The wonder of the company is Harry Gilfoil, who imitates every thing from the services of a colored camp meeting to a cat senade and a dog fight. His mouth is the epitome of all sounds, so to speak, and his whistling—especially his literal imitation of the Southern mocker—is a sort of Zola-lic performance in its truth to the original.
The pan-pipe singers emitted most delightful melody without apparent effort, and were recalled again and again.
The company is a thoroughly good one throughout and should be seen by every one. The performance will be repeated to-night for the last time—Charleston (S, C) Sun.

THE LOGAN COUNTY NICKEL MINES
[A Paper Read by Prof. F. H. Snow at the late meeting of the Academy of Science at Leavenworth.]
While engaged in collecting specimens of Natural History in Wallace and Logan counties in August 1888, I learned that considerable excitement had been produced in the central portion of the latter county by the discovery of valuable metallic ores. The first reports specified silver as occurring in paying quantities in that region, but later advices substituted nickel for silver without any abatement of the popular excitement. I lost little time in making my way to the scene of commotion and found the centre of the new mining region in the southwest quarter of Section 2. Township 14, Range 46, west of the 6th principal meridian. This quarter section is three miles south of the Smoky Hill river, eight and one-half miles distant from Russell Springs, the county seat of Logan county, fifteen miles a little west of south from Winona and eighteen miles a little south of east from Wallace, the county seat of Wallace county. It is about forty-five miles east of the western boundary and seventy-five miles south of the northern boundary of the State of Kansas. Upon reaching this locality, I found that although less than two weeks had elapsed since the announcement was first made of the discovery of these mineral deposits, more than 400 acres of ground had been staked off for mining claims, and the excitement was becoming more intense every day. Hundreds of people were coming and going, and the once peaceful prairie had suddenly assumed the boisterous character of a genuine mining camp. The nomenclature of the claims indicates that Kansas can vie with Colorado and Arizona in the use of expressive lang usage.
The following are the names by which some of the prospect holes have been christened: Western Chief, Nickel King, Nickel Queen, Eli Jinnie, Eurucka, Nickel Canon, etc. Values of these mining claims had not found a definite basis, $20,000 was reported to have been offered and refused for the two best claims, and five hundred dollars had been indigently rejected for a half-interest in a less promising mine.
I was especially interested in visiting this spot because in former years in company with Professor Mudge, and suba-
nently with parties of University students. I had explored the rocks in the immediate vicinity in search of vertebrate fossils. It was within 25 miles of his locality that in 1878 had the good fortune to discover the now famous saurian, whose remains are so perfectly preserved that even the dermal scales upon the ablomen are as accurately outlined is those of living reptiles. Only six miles north of this spot we obtained during the same vacation a saurian whoseaws, nearly three feet in length, wereust proruding from the blue shade,unlesuch circumstances as to indicate that here had been no serious disturbance of the rock-strata during the millions ofyears which must have clapped since theteptide gave up its life. It was within a few miles of this spot that ProfessorMudge obtained the most perfect specimensof fossil-birds which have ever beendiscovered, birds with teeth in their jaws,which have furnished the material forthe great work on Toothed Birds (Odonariethus) by Prof. Marsh of Yale College.Having been thus familiar with thisregion as a paradise for fossil huntersI was anxious to ascertain if itwere possible that some local disturbancehad produced metamorphic changesresulting in the formation of metallic ores.In Woodson county a square mile ofthe carboniferous rocks has thus beenmetamorphosed to an unknown depth, thedisturing forces having transformed intocrystalline rocks the original fragmentary rocks thus producing some ofthe conditions under which metallic depositsare found in mountainous regions.A great silver excitement was produced inthat county about twelve years ago,having for its center this limited areaof crystalline rocks. The chemists foundfaint traces of silver in their analysis ofthis material, and the entire area washoneycombed by the excavations ofprospectors and miners, who gathered fromnear and from far, with the expectationof striking a bonanza. Thousands ofdollars were expended in the vainattempt to extract the precious metalsfrom rocks which had been declared by ourbest geologists and chemists to be of noactual value for mining purposes. It istrue that a trace of silver was detectedin these rocks. There are also traces ofsilver and gold in the waters ofthe ocean, and we are told that thetotalamount of these precious metals thusheld in solution would be sufficientto make every human being rich if theycould be separated from the containingwaters by some inexpensive process.There are undoubtedly minute quantitiesof gold and silver in all our Kansas rocksfrom the sub-carboniferous depositsof the southeast to the tertiary depositsof the northwest. A Denver chemistreporteda trace of gold and a small amountof silver ($2.50 to the ton) in the rocksof Logan county. But any attemptto extract these metals from Kansas rocksseems as impracticable as wouldthe attempt to separate them from the watersof the ocean.
It may be here stated that the lowest grade of nickel ore as yet found profitable for treatment is mined in large quantities at Lancaster Gap, Penn., and contains from 1/4 to 2 per cent of nickel. But this ore in order to merit transportation to the refining works at Camden, N J., must first be reduced atthe mines to a
A careful examination of the rocks now being mined for nickel in Logan-co. reveals no evidence of metamorphic action. There is an entire absence of crystalline rocks. The so-called 'nickel ore' is the prevailing fragmental rock of the Tertiary age, the characteristic conglomerate or pudding-stone which overlies the eroded surface of the Niobrara limestone and shales. The color of this rock at the 'mines' is darker than that of the ordinary conglomerate, but it is unmistakably the same kind of rock. A chemical analysis of specimens of these rocks by Prof. E. H. S. Bailey reveals the presence of nickel and cobalt in very small quantities. A special examination of one specimen said to be among the richest, showed not more than one third of one per cent of cobalt and one-tenth of one per cent of nickel. The specimens used for this analysis were of my own selection from the two mines considered to produce the most valuable ore.
more concentrated form by being smelted into a "mattte" containing 10 per cent of nickel. Thus the Logan county rocks according to Prof. E. H. S. Bailey's analysis, contain only from one fifteenth to one twentieth the amount of nickel present in the lowest grade ores yet subjected to profitable treatment.
I made a second visit to this locality Oct. 20th for the express purpose of making a more thorough search for evidence of metamorphic action. But no such evidence could be discovered, and the conclusions made after my first visit were confirmed by the second. There is no change of limestone to marble, of shales to schist, or of sandstone and conglomerate to chert. The so called "ore" lies at or near the bottom of the Tertiary strata, just at or above their contact with the Niobrara section of the cretaceous formation. The characteristic fossils of the Niobrara rocks are abundant in the immediate vicinity, entirely unaltered by metamorphic action. Within ten rods of the Nickel Queen mine I found an unusually perfect valve of the large malusk of the genus *Hoplosecapha*. Within half a mile of this mine were abundant vertebrate of the common cretaceous fish *Porthus molossus*, with occasionally a saurian vertebra. Metamorphic action such as seems necessary for the formation of valuable metallic ores would have obliterated these fossils in the rocks so nearly adjacent to the ore beds.
As bearing upon the question whether the geologist has the right to expect nickel ores in Kansas, it will be necessary to consider the location of these ores in other regions. So far as I have been able to ascertain, they occur without exception in the crystalline or metamorphic rocks, where there has been a conspicuous displacement of the strata from their original horizontal position, with evidences of their having been subjected to great pressure and consequent high temperature. They also occur in the oldest crystalline rocks rather than in those of a later formation. Almost without exception they are located in the Archaen rocks, and without exception where the strata have been upheaved in mountain elevations. They occur in moderate quantity in close association with chrome ores, in the serpentine rocks from Canada to Maryland. They are generally diffused throughout the magnesium rocks of the Quebec group in Canada. They are found in the serpentines of Cornwall, the Vosges and Mount Rosa, and in the primitive schists of Norway. Mr.W.P. Blake, contributing to the volume of the U.S. Geological Survey upon the mineral resources of the United States, states that the most available ore of nickel and the only one worked up to this date in the United States, is the sulphide, occurring in connection with magnetic iron pyrites. This is an ore which occurs at many places along the lines of the older or Archaen rocks, being found with beds of pyrrhotite (or magnetic iron) from Canada southward. At Chatham, Conn., the nickel and cobalt ores occur in mica schist. There are small quantities of nickel at other places in ancient schist of Connecticut. The nickel ore of Thunbery Bay on the north shore of Lake Superior, is associated with native silver and occurs in a vein traversing Huronian talcose slates.
The newly discovered deposits of nickel ore in Oregon, containing from 20 to 30 per cent of nickel oxide, are found in serpentine with chromite and steatite. The ore of New Caledonia, averaging 18 per cent of nickel oxide, (Garnierite) occurs in veins within serpentine. The richness and abundance of these ores, and the case with which they are smelted, has lowered the price of nickel and driven many of the poorer ores from the market.
It would therefore appear that geological considerations are unfavorable to the existence of valuable nickel ore in the State of Kansas. There are no Archean rocks in Logan county, no crystalline rocks, and no veins containing metallic ores. The minute quantities of nickel and cobalt indicated by Professor Bailey's analysis may perhaps be accounted for by the fact that these metals in very minute quantities are universally disseminated over the surface of the earth.
in the meteoric dust which is continually falling through the atmosphere. Acording to Professor H. A. Newton, of Yale college, no less than twenty millions of meteors enter the earth's atmosphere each twenty-four hours, many of these reaching the earth's surface as the finest meteoric dust. This dust, which like the Logan county rocks contains nickel and cobalt and iron and manganese and other chemical elements, has been found to cover the roofs of the houses of the city of Quito in South America after an unusual meteoric present in the ice and snow of the Alpine and the Arctic regions. It may be collected at any time from the atmosphere by exposing to the air a properly prepared surface, as was done by Tissandier. It was dredged from the bottom of the deepest Atlantic ocean by the Challenger expedition. There is no doubt that the old Tertiary ocean of Western Kansas received this meteoric dust as the oceans of the present time. If the mud and sand and pebbles of our Atlantic should ever become hardened into rock and form a part of the dry land, the chemists of that time would be able to detect the nickel and cobalt dust whose meteoric origin has been established by our chemists and meteorologists. We are now applying the same test to the bottom of the old Tertiary ocean, now a part of the dry land, and find convincing evidence that then as now the atmosphere was traversed by multitudes of meteoric bodies, producing the same effect as they now produce. This disintegrated meteoric matter sinking to the bottom of the ocean then as now, would be distributed by the under currents and lodged in cavities and depressions of the ocean bottom according to its specific gravity. Such a depression or basin seems to have been struck by the Logan county miners. But these deposits are not suitable for mining, for the quantity of nickel dust is too small to warrant the expectation of any returns upon the money invested.
A VIEW.
It is needless to enumerate the subjects that have been viewed, and "Review-ed" in our current literature; suffice it, to say, we have read everything from the "Supe-house" to the "puns" upon the poor old Latin Commentaries; but have looked in vain for comments upon our favorite theme, a College Newspaper.
It is suggested that there is not much to view about a paper; that is certainly true of some papers, but not of the TIMES.
The ideal paper is strictly non-partisan; it neither indulges in extravagant praise of its friends, nor hurls poisonous epithets at its enemies, though its cotemporaries come out in mourning.
A college newspaper should be a medium through which students obtain the College news.
The personal columns should not be let out on a life lease, to the friends of the stock-holders, but should be open to all students of the University.
It would be pleasant to read that some one's best lady, friend was on the hill Monday, if we had not seen her there the four days following.
Private misunderstandings are not common property and the College paper that retains a friend by making an enemy surely pursues a bad policy.
A notable and interesting feature in the last number of the Review was the resume of local happenings under the heading of "The Month." In short-cut and these phrases, the whole month is reviewed making an interesting synopsis. We hope that this will be continued. Previous to this the local pages of the Review rather partook of the newspaper style, with locals and personal clipped at random here and there, slighting some and noticing others, so that it was never satisfactory. The Review is a literary journal, issued only once a month and of course as such, should not pretend to be a news organ. Its local and personal papers have always been previous to this last issue, a weak feature in its make-up. But the present manner of reviving the local happenings of the month, in diary form is to be highly commended, and at the end of the year will make a very interesting history of 88-89 at K. S. U.
ELOCUTIONARY INSTRUCTION.
It is announced that there is to be immediately connected with the University in an unofficial way an instructor in elocution. Prof. Marsh has been in correspondence with Prof. Carruth, who now is Cambridge, Mass., upon the subject; and he announces to-day that within a few days the instructor will arrive. Mr. Saunderson, the new instructor, is a graduate of Dartmouth College and of the Munroe School of Oratory in Boston. He has the very highest recommendations for his ability and skill in his work. He is not merely an elocationist, but also a scholar, and hence free from the faults so common in people who undertake the work of teaching elocation without having had good training in other directions. Mr. Saunderson will not be directly connected with the University, in the sense of being one of the regular corps of instructors, though it is hoped that the next Legislature will make this possible. He will charge fees for his instructions, according to rates hereafter to be fixed. He will probably also wish to form classes in Lawrence and in neighboring cities. It will be an excellent thing for the University to have so competent an instructor in this important subject. This is especially true in view of the fact that the instructors in the English department are already so crowded with work that they can hardly do much in the way of helping students in their preparation for the oratorical contests and for the exercises of Commencement.

WE were served last week with an excellent dish of "crow." No matter how well cooked and seasoned "crow" may be, it is never a pleasant dish, but seasoned as ours was with numerous jokes and taunts at our contemporary for being out late, ours was specially bitter. We have just one excuse to offer. We could not help it. Our esteemed contemporary will undoubtedly be convulsed with fiendish glee this week and will have several quotations. We hope they will. It is not often that they have a chance to laugh and when they do we want them to enjoy it.
THE TIMES broke its good record for promptness last week by being a few minutes late. Nevertheless it was not for want of news because as usual, we were compelled to crowd out many interesting articles.
We are in receipt of a very neat program of the Kansas State Teachers' Association to be held at Topeka, December 26, 27 end 28, 1888. Parts will be taken by the following representatives of the University; Response to an address of welcome, by Dr. J. A. Lippincott; a paper on "The Study of English in our Colleges," by Prof. A R. Marsh; a paper on the "Limits of Instruction in the Public Schools in Moral Training." by W. S. Jenks, of the class of 87. This association has grown in importance within the last few years and is well attended by the leading teachers of the State. A larger attendance is expected this year than ever before.

ATHENAEUM.
Owing to our limited amount of space last week an account of a party given by Misses May and Inez Henshaw was omitted. The principle feature of the evening was a game of progressive whist, in which Miss Inez Henshaw and A. A. Stover proved to be the most successful players. The evening was very pleased and spent by those whose good fortune it was to be present. The young ladies are delightful entertainers and the evening was one long to be remembered with pleasure.
The Society gave an exceptionally interesting program last Friday evening, and was rendered as follows:
Declaration ... F. Lautze

The hall was well filled, and twelve new names were added to the list of members. This society meets every Friday evening at 8 o'clock, giving a free entertainment to all who wish to attend. This evening new officers will be elected.
SIGMA NU.
A novel and entirely original fraternity entertainment was given by the young gentlemen of the Sigma Nu, at their rooms in the Eldridge House block, last Saturday evening. A drop curtain had been fixed in the arch separating the parlor from the main hall, which remained down until the invited guests, numbering about fifty, were seated. When this was raised a beautiful room was displayed with a large table of unique shape spread ready for a feast.
A bright little waiting maid was putting the finishing touches to the table who soon announced the supper, and the host entered with his guests from an adjoining room, and after a brief welcome were seated at the table. The feast that followed was of an intellectual nature, the different courses being filled with quotations and extracts from Long Fellow's poems.
The first course, soup, consisted of well chosen quotations from the gifted author. Fish, being the second course, Mr.Dan Mallison rendered Hiawatha's Fishing—For Game, Mr.Ezra Palmer gave "The Birds of Killingworth," and the episode of "The Slaying of Red Deer" was recited by Mr. Will Rutter, Salad, followed, which was nicely arranged from the titles of Longfellow's poems. For desert, Mr. Howard Copper gave in splendid style "The Emperor's Bird-Nest" and Mr. John Palmer offered "Snowflakes." The wine served was the celebrated "Catawha Wine" which was given by Mr.Wyne Harrington. Between the courses Evangeline, Priscilla and Munchaha dressed in costume came in and were given seats at the table. These parts were taken by Miss Clara Greenamyr, Miss Alice Longpole, a bright Osage girl from Haskell and Miss Manie Manley. This was one of the most interesting features of the evening. The part of waiting-maid by Miss Jessie Peneshard was most excellently taken. Another pleasant peculiarity followed in the toasts. The first, "Longfellow, the Man," was drank standing and in silence, "Longfellow's Best Poem" was then proposed and Mr. Eugene Shields responded with "The Legend Beautiful." "Longfellow's Best Song" was next given. Mr. Clarence Scars sang, "The Tay is Doose."
The toasts were followed by two tableaux, "Hiawatha's Wooing" and the "Death of Minchchaa." These characters were all given by four pupils from Haskell Institute, under the management of Mr. Will Sears, and as they all appeared in the real Indian costume, the effect was quite realistic. The setting of the background was excellent, and added greatly to the effect. Refreshments were then served, and the rest of the evening spent in dancing and conversation.
Oratorical Association.
Last Friday the Oratorical Association met and selected Prof. L. I. Blake as delegate to Topeka to attend a meeting of the delegates from the other colleges in the State Oratorical Association to select judges for the State contest. The delegates met last Saturday afternoon in the parliaments of the Windsor hotel and Prof. Blake was chosen chairman of the meeting. The following judges were selected:
The Recamier's at Raymond & Dick's.
Judges on Thought and Composition, Hon. Noble Prentiss, of Newton; Hon. J. Mussell, of Council Grove, and Gen. Taylor, of Hutchinson. First alternates, Judge John Martin of Tapetoa, Hon. Phillip Krone of Atchison, and George Winens of Junction City. Second alternates, Hon. Marsh Murdock of Wichita, Gov. Geo. T. Anthony of Ottawa, and Rev. H. H. Russell of Kansas City. Alternates at Large, Gov. C. V. Eskridge of Emporia. Judges of Delivery, Sen. J. L. Burton of Abilone, Prof. J. C. Banta of Hiwattha, and E. C. Coffin of Wichita. First alternates, Prof. Sandess of St. Scott, Gov. John A. Martin of Atchison and Prof. Buchanan of Kansas City. Second alternates, Dr. J. H. Simmons of St. Scott, Judge Tom Fenlon of Leavenworth, and Gen. Green of Manhattan. Alternate at large, Gov. T. A. Oburne of Topeka. The State contest will be held at Emporia in the second week of next February. K. S. U. has won three out of five of the State contests and there is no reason why she should not carry off the honors this time. We have the material out of which orators are made. There has not been as many aspirants in the local contests as we should haye. Once upon a time, fourteen orations were handed into the committee of the Faculty, of which he six best were chosen. It is needless to say that K. S. U. won and that the familiar yell of Rock, chalk-jay-hawk, K. U. resounded through the streets of Topeka. Last year only four students participated in the home contest, the year before, five. At this rate, in a few years it will not be worth while to hold a local contest. What we want is a number of men to take part in the home contest from which number we can select a man to go to Emporia, not only to represent us, but a man to win. Orators, come to the front.

The club decided to purchase and put in the library the Contemporary Review, the Nineteenth Century, the Fortnightly, and the Neue Jahrbuecher fuer Philologie and Paedogigik; and to accept the offer of Prof. Marsh to add to these the Edinburg Review, the London Quarterly, and the Westminster. It also left with a committee the purchase of a modern language periodical for the library.
the arts, because of its expressive power; novels and poetry, the highest forms, because they convey more of the writer to reader than any other form.
Miss Mary Manley spoke of the Vercelli Codex, a manuscript of Cynewulf, discovered early in this century at Vercelli, a small town in Northern Italy. Prof. Cook of the University of California has lately issued a pamphlet to prove that this manuscript was carried thither by Cardinal Guala Bicchieri, the Pope's legate to England from 1217 to 1218. The Cardinal was a scholar, a friend of learning, the founder of the church of St. Andreas [probably in memory of his English benefice of St. Andrew,] and later of a monastery and school to which he bequeathed his large library. Among his books was certainly one in English. The Cardinal employed a French scholar with English interests, and English architects. Why may he not have been interested in English literature? His life and fortunes were in various ways connected with St. Andreas, an account of whom is one of the principal poems of Cynewulf. Therefore he would have had an especial interest in the Vercelli book.
Miss Rudolph spoke of a new book on the Roman army in Cassar's time, by Mr. Judson. It is the highest account of the subject in English, and a valuable addition to Roman school literature.
Miss Merrill gave a resume of the late Prof. Sill's essay on the Principles of Criticism. Critical principles must be broad enough to include all art; otherwise they are not fundamental. The effect of beauty on the mind is increased activity. The secret of all art is that it is the giver of what man desires most carnely, abounding life. Art should be judged, then, according to its lifegiving qualities; literature, the highest of
Prof. Wilcox spoke of and read some extracts from an edition of fragments of the Greek Comic poet, with metrical translations, by Prof. Paley; and a skeleton outline of Greek History by Evelyn Abbott. He also gave reports of excavations in Greece, at Athens, Mycenaea, Tanagra, and in Crete. At Athens the most important find is an inscription showing that the Erchethionian had gables on both the east and west fronts. At Mycense a large number of pre-Homeric graves are being found, with many articles in quite an oriental style.
Science Club.
"Standing room only" was the rule of the Science Club last Friday night. Mr. Kellogg's microscope exhibition was a success. A hundred choice slides were on the table; the microscopes were well illuminated and everybody was "explaining" to everybody else. It is proposed to have some popular exhibition every night in the future.
At eight o'clock the club was called to order and Mr. Franklin read a very interesting review of recent psychological literature. The wonderful phenomena of hypnotism are being examined by a host of investigators who are already divided into schools, the Paris and London scientists believing that a mesmerized subject can be directed by the operator without the use of words or signs, that magnets may be felt when held near the back of the neck, and that a medicine unknown to the subject will produce its full effect when sealed up in a tube and placed near him, while the Nancy school holds that all these results are caused by suggestion alone. Mr. Franklin favored the Nancy school and took ground in opposition to the series of papers which Prof. Blake contributed to the Science Club last year. The speaker told of "the fluidic influence which emanates from a magnet and makes people see double," but he did not state why magnets were not prohibited in Kansas.
Mr. Kellogg next spoke on microscopes and the microscopic exhibition at Leavenworth. He did not seem at all depressed by the results of the comparison of the ordinary American instruments owned by the University with the new $500 Leis of Manhattan. The value of a microscope depends on four things; defining power by which the outline of an object is shown distinctly and without colors, resolving power by which structure and marking are shown, working distance the space between the lens and object, and flatness of field, all parts of the field being shown with equal clearness. The marking on the test diatom on exhibition were seven-tenthousandths of a millimeter a part yet they could be easily distinguished. The last paper was by Mr. Murphy on the relation between rainfall and the depth of northern lakes, illustrated by diagrams which he had drawn from the government reports, showing the monthly and annual curve of rainfall and the curve of depth of the lakes. The parallelism in the case of Lakes Michigan and Huron was striking, while there was a little similarity in the curves of Lake Ontario. Prof. Snow noticed that the curves showed the seven year cycle of rain which he discovered in his record of Kansas rainfall. Mr. Murphy stated that the measured outflow of the lakes was very close to the amount calculated from the rainfall and area of the watershed.
"All Together ! Sing !"
Again we are confronted with a new enterprise—something new, real and live. This time the inventive genius of the Senior has been at work. To be sure it is nothling wonderous; especially deep or profud; but we owe it to the lively imagination of one of our Senior girls, that K. S. U. is about to take her seat in the choir of jolly collegians who are ever and anon reading the air with those melodious hymns, known as college songs. Yes, our Senior class is
back of the movement. Committees have been appointed to engage the services of one or two of our talented musicians as leaders and make all arrangements for the organization of an association for the practice and adoption of a collection of songs peculiar to K. S. U. Well, yes, why not? Is there any good reason why a western college cannot have a little life and spirit as well as those of the East? Who has ever met a student from Harvard, Yale or Cornell, without being favored with the favorite song of his alma mater? But who ever heard a K. U. lad break upon the midnight air with anything more inspiring than "Old Dog Tray" or "Here's to K. S. U. drink her down," or perchance, "The Bull Dog on the Bank?" But says one, how is this movement to be started? Just wait; hold your breath for the first attempt; keep your ears open and one of these Friday evenings, between 7 and 8 p.m., you may hear the welcome warble of K. S. U.'s quartette, or her choir—composed of half or more of her students—re echoing through our halls. Verily, the Seniors are around—they have made the beginning and with the assistance of all, will carry it through.
Happenings at the Chemistry Building
Great excitement prevailed at the Chemistry building last Wednesday. Two of the seniors had found $200 in green backs and contemplated going into "cahoots" as is the custon at this building. They sought the advice of Mr. Sloszen and were referred to Prof. Sayre. The Professor at once claimed the find and coolly put the money into his pocket saying, "Well! well! this is a surprise indeed." Thank you gentlemen" and they saw the money no more.
Prof. Baily has just received a new apparatus for testing the relative flash points of oils found in the market. The oil is put in a cup and this in turn is placed in a water bath, which is heated by a spirit lamp from below. An arm extends above the oil cup and from this is suspended a thermometer, which registers the temperature.
The name of Mr. A. E. Langworth, one of the last year's pharmacy boys, may be found among the names of those who were successful in the examination before the State Board.
Some, and in fact nearly all of the candidates for examination before the State Board last week, found it nearly as difficult to read the questions, and especially the chemical equations, as it was to answer the questions. It was the fault of some one horse printer, who not having the sight material at hand, used such as he had. We would suggest that the Board have their questions printed by the TIMES Company in the future.
The Pharmaceutical Society held its regular meeting last week. After an interesting program followed by the regular business, the society adjourned until after the holidays.
A long felt want in the Chemistry building has been alleviated by connecting pipes of the building with the city water works, and now the water supply at this building will not be so limited as heretofore.
Jhon Hall, a graduate of the Law Department of the class of '86, has been in town for quite awhile past. Since his graduation he har been engaged in teaching school and chas conducted several Normal institutes. Of late however, Hall has given evidence of an unsound mind and has been a frequent visitor at the University and has stayed about town, always seeming very despondent. He has been staying at the Eldridge House, where his bills have been paid by Judge Norton, who came to Hall's assistance with his usual great heartedness. On last Wednesday Hall boarded the train expressing his intention of going to Kansas City.

By a recent decision of the court of appeals of New York, Cornell is deprived of $1,500,000. The decision is based on a provision of the charter limiting the possessions of the institution to $3,000,-000. The sooner such an obnoxious clause is repealed the better.
Hall of Columbia, will shortly write two articles on Lawn Tennis, for Harriers Young People.
The trustees of Columbia, are racking their brains in the endeavor to select a president to fill the place made vacant by resignation, last spring, of President Barnard.
Art Lecture.
Miss Simpson gave a very interesting lecture last Friday evening in the Art Studio, on "An Art Student's Life in Paris." A large audience greeted the speaker. Miss Simpson's description of the life of a student in Paris, made all the artists in the audience wish that they could spend a year in a Paris art school. Miss Simpson is a pleasing speaker and her deserving lecture was highly appreciated. Interest in the Art Department is increasing. Last Friday evening, many were unable to find seats and remained standing.
Prof. W. H. Carruth has been appointed to a Morgan Fellowship for the coming year at Haryard University. Mr. Carruth was graduated at the Kansas State University (Lawrence) in 1880 and immediately thereafter was made assistant in his Alma Mater for German and French; in 1882 he was promoted to the professorship of German and French, which position he still holds. The year 1885-86 was spent, on leave of absence, at the University of Berlin and Munich, where Prof. Carruth continued his studies in the Germanic department. He is now engaged in investigating the "Superlative in Modern German" and "Herder's Style."—Modern Language Notes.

The meeting of the Orophilian society last Friday evening does not deserve a notice in the Times this week. Only a very few members were present and those who were to have performed on the program, except three, made it a point to be absent. The society might just as well adjourn "sine die," if there is to be no greater interest taken in literary work. It is a shame to "hoodwink" new students and rush them into a society that is a society in name and nothing more. The Times wants to see something done, that done immediately. If it cannot be revived, it would be better to kill it entirely.

U. and if it is the good fortune of the University to secure the Club, perhaps some of the genuine college spirit may be infused into the students. Let us not only have the Yale Club visit us but let us have a club of our own.

LET us all pull together and see what we can do towards securing money—money—money for K. S. U., by influencing the Legislature.
---
Every student is, or at least should be interested in the welfare of K. S. U. A goodly number of us will have an opportunity to meet the members of the coming Legislature during the holidays. It is the duty of each of us to make it a point to make the Legislators understand and feel the necessity of additions to our State institution, the one to which every student points with pride. If we prove ourselves interested in our work and the institution, the Legislator will feel himself inclined to come to the rescue of the University with his vote and influence, and by this means, the necessary appropriations can be secured.
From time to time it becomes our pleasant duty to chronicle the honors which are conferred upon many of K. S. U's alumni. This time we are especially glad to perform the double duty of strangling a falshood and at the same time of noting an honor that has lately been conferred upon John Sullivan of Kansas City.
Last week we copied a notice from the Kansas City *Evening News* to the effect that John Sullivan was expelled from the Jeffersonian club of that place.
We learned later that the statement was not only a malicious falsehood but that Sullivan held the office of president of the club.
One evening last week at a meeting of the National Tariff Reform League of Kansas City, Sullivan was further honored by being unanimously elected president of that league. This is the highest honor that the Democrats of Kansas City can confer on one of their number.

After the holidays, he will attempt to form classes in elocation among the students. As the Oratorical contest is near at hand, an opportunity of displaying his skill is offered.

K. K. G. Jubilee.
Last Monday evening was an evening of rejoicing for the Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity. At an early hour the members of the fraternity with the six young ladies that had accepted their invitation to membership met at the home of Miss Etta Hadley. The pledged members were then initiated and soon after the ceremony was completed a number of the gentlemen friends of Kappa Kappa Gamma began to arrive. Each of the gentlemen were given a card, having or it a question, and had to find the lady having the answer to it. It was very amusing to watch some of the gentlemen hunting for an answer to their questions However, in a short while all had found their partners and proceeded to have a good time. At 11 p.m. supper was server of which a very attractive feature was sandwiches nicely tied with Kappa colors.
Supper being over the company was entertained by several songs by the Kappas. Congratulations to both the Kappas and their new members, were numberless, and it was hard to decide whether the fraternity was most to be congratulated for their victory or whether the new members were most to be congratulated in being permitted to become members of so prosperous a fraternity.
Inose present were: Misses Stanford, Inez Henshaw, Edwards, Nina Taggart, Johnaton, Lockwood, Eddy, Hayes, Morris, Pickering, Inez Taggart, Hadley, Nelson, Bowersock, Manie Henshaw, Price, Williams, Franklin, Kimball, Palmer, Howe, Springer, Hair, Maxwell, O'Bryon, McKinnion: Messrs.

Pi Beta Phi.
Last Friday evening the beautiful home of Miss Mamie Tisdale on the corner of Winthrop and Tennessee streets was the scene of one of the most elaborate and enjoyable social entertainments given in University and city circles this year. The social history of the University for the past sixteen years has been closely connected with Kansas Alpha chapter of I. C. Sorosis and the Alumni of our institution number among the happiest recollections of their college life the pleasant hours spent at the various "cookie shines" and "grub" meetings of that society. The delightful affair of Friday evening conclusively proved that the change from I. C. to Pi Beta Phi was a change in name only, and that the charming hospitality has descended intact from the old society to the new fraternity. The description of such a successful occasion were useless and insufficient to friends, meaningless to strangers and slippant to toes —if one could imagine Pi Beta Phi as having any of the latter Those present can testify to their own enjoyment. Those present were: Misses Webster, Babcock, Maxwell, Pickinger, Hadley, Fullerton, Johnston, Berry, Barker, Innes, Blanche Webber, Kate Miller, Tenny, Buckingham, Brown, Helen Webber, Mary Miller, Lyons, Roberts, Harrison, Pugh, Love, Horton, King, Scott, Crotty, Msla Crotty, Manley, Sutliff, Penfield, White, Beard, Snow Barker, McCague, Dow and Tisdale; and Messrs.

It is encouraging to note the increasing number of students and others interested in literary work, who climb Mount Orread every Friday evening. Last Friday evening in spite of parties, dances, parlor tete-a-tetes etc., and a most disagreeable evening, the rooms of all the societies and clubs which met, were crowded almost to over-flowing. Each Friday night since the University has been thrown open, has witnessed an increased attendance. By the middle of next term we predict that "going up to the University Friday nights" will be universal among the students, and also among a great number of those outside of the University.
Already the Unity Club has acknowledged this status of affairs, and is the first to lead the way in changing its meetings to another night, than Friday. We hope that all other organizations with which students are connected, will do the same, that for all social gatherings another more convenient evening may be found. To the members of the Faculty, who have labored so earnestly for this "Friday evening scheme," this must be especially gratifying. The only thing to be regretted is, that this was not done years ago. But all reforms take time. Learned men do not always act with the greatest wisdom. Let us be thankful for what we have, and go to work. To the literary societies this has been indeed a second birth. Both Orophilian and Athenaeum seem to be starting in with a renewed energy. The Political Science Club has more interesting meetings than ever before. The Science Club is doing better work than formerly, and its meetings are largely attended.
The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. are having a very large attendance at their weekly meetings. And thus, we might run over the roll of the University organizations, and truthfully say the same in regard to all.
Hurrah for Friday nights at K. S. U.
Military Department.
EDITOR TIMES: A petition has been circulated among the students of the University asking the Legislature to make an appropriation for a gymnasium. The object of the petition is praiseworthy, but it is doubtful if it will have any great effect on the Legislature. The average Kansas law-maker is a practical man and is accustomed to look on the practical side of every question. While I believe that a gymnasium would be of great practical value to the University, I do not believe that it is possible, at present at least, to secure such an appropriation.
Having had an opportunity to speak with several members of the Legislature upon this subject. I found them rather averse to an appropriation for any such purpose, but I found that they were heartily in favor of establishing a department of military instruction in the University, by an act of the Legislature, and were willing to work and vote for such a measure, if the students manifested any particular desire for a department of this kind.
A large per cent of the Senators and Representatives are men of military experience, having served as soldiers of the Republic in the Great Rebellion, and who having seen the disadvantage at which our country was placed in 1861 are qualified to appreciate the practical value and utility of such an institution in the State.
I would like to see the students consider this question carefully before any immediate steps are taken because I believe that a gymnasium can be secured in this connection and that K. S. U. can by this means obtain a well equipped gymnasium and drill-hall.
Military drill and instruction would not only afford a beneficial physical exercise for the student, but it would give him a knowledge that might be of value to him and to society.
The State Universities of Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Missouri each afford their students opportunity for military training and the University of Kansas should keep pace with her sister institutions.
Now, students, as we go home to spend the holidays many of us will have opportunity of seeing and conversing with the Senators and Representative from our respective districts and I suggest that we
Political Science Club.
Very Respectfully,
The Political Science Club held its fourth meeting of the year, last Friday evening. In spite of the disagreeable weather, the cloudy sky, and Kansas zephyrs, the room was crowded, every chair being occupied.
W. R. Armstrong reported the proceedings of the United States Senate during the past two weeks. Wm. Hill gave a brief resume of the financial status of the country. M. E. Hickey made an interesting report upon the subject of Finance and Diplomacy, in which he showed himself to be master of the situation, even when it came to latitude and longitude of an inferior island.
Instead of the three regular theses by members of the club, Professor Canfield read a most interesting paper upon the subject, "What is Socialism?" The paper was written in the Professor's usual happy style, and it is unnecessary to add was well received.
Suffrage Lectures.
Prof. W. H. Carruth of Kansas University who is now taking special studies at Harvard College has kindly consented to speak occasionally for suffrage leagues. Prof. Carruth is an active suffragist and well acquainted with the subject and its practical working in Kansas. He can lecture on Monday evenings and on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, in places so near that they can be reached by leaving Cambridge after five o'clock. In no case will he go to leagues or places where the distance will prevent his return to Cambridge the same evening, or early the next morning.
11. 18 especially fortunate that Prof. Carruth can co-operate with us in this way. His terms are liberal. His address is 26 Trowbridge Street, Cambridge, Mass. Correspondence can be had directly with him in regard to meetings. In all cases a stamp should be enclosed for reply. The leagues near Cambridge will note this opportunity. —Woman's Journal.
It is rumored:—
That there will be little time for cramming after the vacation.
That elocation lessons are going to be a little *heximensive*.
That the joint meeting and contest of Orophillan, Athanaeum, Jan. 11. promises to be an excellent entertainment.
That the TIMES is booming with a greater boom than ever.
That Swope is a Theta.
That Christmas comes on the twenty fifth this year.
That only one oration has been written for our contest, and all of the other candidates are dubious.
A Times man has been grieving all week, because he forgot once upon a time that this was leap year.
That we are all going to go home and have a good time.
Athanneum was to have met to night.
But it wont. The Faculty and the members of Athanneum do not always look at a thing the same way.
About all the K. S. U. Clubs shut up Saturday. No more hash for over two weeks. Dogs and *purps* are quoted below par.
The weather has been slightly chilly this week. Had you noticed it? The thermometer has also slightly fallen. Strange, isn't it.
No societies to-night. The hill will be deserted.
The local Oratorical contest at Washburn will be held January 4th. Brewster is one of the contestants. If successful he will be a hard man to defeat at Emporia.
Do not forget to hand in a list of your studies for the coming term, before going home.
Puns, jokelets etc., have been rife since the Kappa jollification meeting. Monday evening.
Science Club.
In spite of the wind, which was making a record of sixty miles an hour on Prof. Snow's anemometer, there was a full attendance at the Science Club last Friday.
The "rushing" season is about past. It was indeed a rush, a grand rush, and seemingly a rush altogether.
Clocks, $1.00 to 100, at Jaccard's Kan
sas City.
The great attraction was the exhibition of the new instruments purchased by the Civil Engineering Department. The west end of the club room was filled with complicated three-legged machines which looked as mysterious and incomprehensible to all of as (except the civil engineers of course) the course of study does to a sub-prep. The current testing machine, which was bought for the purpose of testing the tension and pressure strength of various building materials was not on exhibition as it was to heavy bring over.
Prof. Marvin described everything in detail and answered all the questions of the club. Those who have been in his classes know the wonderful gift he has of careful and interesting explanation of principles and methods, and will appreciate the pleasure that the club took in listening to him. Among the instruments on exhibition were, steel tapes, which are rapidly taking the place of the uncertain chain; several transits of the latest pattern; two aneroid barometers, one with a range of 15,000 feet for mountain work and the other more exact and limited by which one can increase the height of a table by difference in pressure; a hook-gauge and current meter for measuring the depth and current of streams. The last is shaped about three cogs like a windmill and when placed in the river from an anchored boat the number of revolutions is recorded by electricity. Prof. Marvin has always claimed that the best instruments were not too good for the use of students and that when they had good tools really good work would be required of them. In accordance with this principle the department has purchased two of the best instruments in use, a precise level and a precise triangulation instrument. These are duplicates of those used by Columbia College. The triangulation instrument cost $850 and can be used to run lines up to fifty miles in length by means of the heliotrope. It has illuminated crosshairs and angles can be read by the micrometer-microscopes to single seconds.
There were two other papers read; one by Mr. Jacobs giving the methods and results of the experiments for the measurement of the velocity of light. Five different ways of determination were described and illustrated by diagrams.
The last paper was by Mr. Short, who gave an interesting and amusing account of his work during the summer in the employ of the Santa Fe company. Dykes were constructed with great labor and thousands of tons of rocks thrown in the river but the mighty Missouri only ate away the bank the faster until twenty acres of the Santa Fe's land including the road-bed was covered with water to the depth of forty feet.
Prof. J. H. Canfield leaves to morrow on an extended tour throughout the east. He leaves from here direct for Toronto, Ontario. At this city he will hold a consultation with Hon. E. G. Ross, minister of Education, on general educational interests. He visits Toronto on a special invitation of the Hon. E. G. Ross. He spends a day or two at Montreal, and from there he goes to Arlington, Vermont, and will spend Christmas with his aged father. Williams College, the professor's Alma Mater, will not be denied a day's visit. He will attend a meeting of the officers of the National Educational Association at Albany, N. Y. Thence he goes to Nashville, Tenn., to meet the local committees, etc., at that city for the purpose of making arrangements for the July meeting. The professor, when he returns, will have made quite an extensive tour and will no doubt, as he is a thorough Kansan, return more pleased with Kansas and her institutions than ever before. His invitation to visit Toronto is quite complimentary to our esteemed professor and to the institution which he so ably represents. The TIMES wishes him a safe and pleasant journey.

Judging from the demand recently for books in the Political Science Department, it seems that the orations in our local contest will be of a political and common sense nature. K. S. U. orators win on merit and not by riding upon popular sentiments.
One of the recent additions to the library is Prof. S. H. Scudder's new book on the "Butterflies of the Eastern United States and Canada." It contains about 2,000 figures and cuts and is of unlimited value to the students of the Natural History Department.

Prof. Dyche received last Monday a very large golden eagle from Albert Harvey of New Mexico, a friend of the Professor. The specimen is a splendid one and has very fine plumage. The difference between this specimen of eagles and the ones found here is in the color and has legs feathered down to the toes.

A Courier editor assisted by some of his ardent supporters gave an exhibition of their skill in "boxing" recently. They expect to soon be able to meet Kilram or Mitchell. The Phi Psi Mandolin Club furnished the music on the occasion. Energetic students must have exercise, hence the greater need for a gamnasium.
The local oratorical contest of Washburn College takes place at the First Congregational church of Topeka, January 4. '89. There will be five contestants and A. W. Brewster, the famous ball "twinier," will twirl oratory at his rivals with the same vehemence, as he does his balls. Several of the K.S.U. students contemplate attending Washburn's contest.

"The mill of the faculty committee of the Oratorical Association grinds slowly but surely." At the last meeting much evidence was produced by both of the contending factions and the legality of shares belonging to H. W. Montgomery, F. W. Butler and W. E. Swank was decided upon.

The department of chemistry has received from Mr. E. C Franklin, several dozen specimens from the Louisiana plantations, illustrating the manufacture of sugar. The set comprises specimens of sugar cane, sugar of different grades, syrups, molasses, etc., and it is a very valuable addition to the illustrated apparatus in this department. It is expected that Mr. Franklin will on his return favor the Science Club with a paper upon practical sugar manufacture.
Missouri is bound not to be out done by her sister States. A State Oratorical Association has been organized with five colleges represented. The first State contest will be held at Jefferson City, Feb. 8, 1889. An effort will be made to enter the Inter-state Association, with a good prospect of success. The desire of oratorical training is everywhere rapidly increasing and the colleges of Missouri are determined not to miss this excellent means of receiving a practical training in public speaking.
At the Senior class meeting it was decided that no Senior should be allowed to wear a plug hat unless he was regularly classified, nor should a Senior associate with any one except Seniors, neither in the halls nor at home. The Senior must have a dignified air and must not smile upon the handsome young ladies of the other classes. He must not chew gum or recognize a professor when on the streets. His text book is to be Bill Nye's works and similar books on morals. In punishment for violating any of these rules, the noble Senior shall be compelled to attend classes regularly for a whole week. All in all the Senior's life is a hard one and who does not envy verdant "prep."
The New York Nation of Dec. 13, has the following note. "Mr.F.G. Adams, Secretary of the Kansas Historical Society, and Prof.W.H.Carruth thought the acquirement of municipal suffrage by women in their State worthy of commoration. Their pamphlet, 'Woman Suffrage in Kansas 'An account of the municipal electons in Kansas in 1887, as told by the newspapers of the State,' is an orderly digest of the press comments before and after the elections, as to which we remark that the Republican papers were generally favorable or respectful, the Democratic generally, but not always the reverse. An introduction to this body of extracts gives a brief but lucid review of the steps leading up to the partial victory of the suffragists, which they owe to their alliance with the Women's Christian Temperance Union in 1886. The story is instructive, and this pamphlet is certain to have a permanent value for students of our political development.
To the Stockholders of the Times Company.
Several stockholders of the TIMES came to the Business Managers the last week to pay for their shares. The shares are not payable to the Business Managers, but to Jus Bowersock, the treasurer. The blanks shares have not been printed yet, but the treasurer will give you a receipt for your money and issue the shares to you as soon as the money is received.
The compilation is in excellent taste."

THE Review attempted a joke upon the TIMES editor in the last number which is a puzzle to all to see the point.

According to the Emporia *Republican*, it seems to be the practice of freshmen of the Presbyterian college to put a chip upon their shoulder and to artfully await the approach of a verdent "prep" thoughtless and bold enough to knock it off. Occasionally one is found.
--administration. They ask for the U S. District Judgship, and Mr. Rigby's name is prominently mentioned in that connection.
THE semi-annual examinations are near at hand and it perhaps behooves some of the students to refreshen their memories upon the subjects pursued during this term. That iron law, the "double failure" rule is still in force and remains the constant dread of a University students life. A cruel faculty.
Mumford, Simmons and Holsinger have gone home. Bear and Street are practicing in oratory. Wilkinson and Smith have gone. Lord knows were, and so the TIMES is simply running itself this week in the old "go easy" fashion. Therefore the readers must patiently bear with it and hope for a better day soon.
THE Christmas number of the Review is an exceedingly bright one and reflects much credit, upon the editorial staff for the amount of energy and ability displayed. The communications from Hon. Noble Prentis and Prof. Carruth are very interesting. It is needless to State that the Review is gaining wonderfully in circulation and in standing in the literary world.
--administration. They ask for the U S. District Judgship, and Mr. Rigby's name is prominently mentioned in that connection.
THE TIMES greets its readers with a "Holiday issue," which is expected to assist the students in digesting their Christmas turkey. It also gives the few remaining students in this city something to do aid in "whiling" the time away. The TIMES extends best wishes to all and hopes that you may have a most happy vacation, and return soon to K. S. U. reshed and ready to battle again with the "double" lessons in which the Professors take so much delight.
One by one our graduates are coming forward. The latest heard from is Isaac Rigby of the law class of '85, now a rising attorney of Concordia. A number of Republican papers in that section headed by the Concordia Times, demand that the custom of giving the government offices to eastern Kansas be laid on the shelf, and that the western part of the State be recognized by theince ring
WHY IS IT SO?
There is one thing about which too much can not be said. That is, the lack of interest in the literary work attempted by the University societies. Last year it was very near impossible to keep either one ally. This year, while one of the societies has gone ahead and increased its membership and efficiency, the other has only been able to hold a few feeble meetings. This state of things ought not to be. In other Universities and colleges, there are found from three to five flourishing literary societies. Why cannot we then support two?
There are but two possible reasons for the lack of interest taken in the work by K. S. U. students. One may be the absolute neglect on the part of the faculty, as a body, of the good to be gotten out of the work done by the literary societies. While the Faculty as a whole care nothing for the societies or the work done by them, there are a few of the Professors who know the value of a good literary society, and who are willing to give some of their energy and some of their time in order to increase and simulate the growth of the societies. There is one other possible reason for the non-support of the University literary societies. In an educated town, inhabited by learned people, whose only desire is more learning, it is well nigh impossible that any interest can be taken in all the societies that are formed for literary purposes. This is true not only of the city but also of the University students. A great many of the latter would prefer to belong to some little club that has no connection with the University, or to start a new society, composed of only one friend and thus cut themselves loose from their places of education. While if all the energy was concentrated in the two societies, we would have something to be proud of. In conclusion, it is a pleasure to note that there will be a joint program rendered soon after the holidays, by Orophilian and Athenanum. We hope this will be only the beginning of a revival in literary work. Come back after your vacation and join one of the University literary societies. It is to our interest.
--ment of municipal suffrage by women in their state worthy of commemoration. Their pamphlet, 'Woman Suffrage in Kansas: An account of the municipal elections in Kansas in 1887 as told by the newspapers of the State' (Topeka; Geo. W. Crane publishing company.) is an orderly digest of the press comments before and after the elections, as to which we remark that the Republican papers were generally favorable or respectful, the Democratic generally (but not always) the reverse. An introduction to this body of extracts gives a brief but lucid review of the steps leading up to the partial victory of the suffragists, which they owe to their alliance with the Women's Christian Temperance Union in 1886. The story is instructive, and this pamphlet is certain to have a permanent value for students of our political development. The compilation is in excellent taste. In 1888 the vote cast by woman was thirty-one per cent of the male vote; in 1887, thirty-seven. But there seems to be a difficulty in ascertaining the returns and the two elections were not of equal interest per se — New York Evening Post
It is a fact quite often commented upon that the graduates of the University of Kansas are fast taking a prominent part in the affairs of the state. The legal and journalistic professions have extended to them a hearty welcome, for they carry with their work the energy and enterprise so characteristic of the West. One of the third graduating class, that of 1875, was Frank P. McLennon, now the brilliant young editor of the Toppea State Journal. The Lawrence Evening Tribune, under the guidance of Mr. Charles F. Scott, of '81, occupies a foremost place among the state papers. W. J. Keys, who received his diploma in '84, after a number of successful newspapar ventures, is now the editor of the Hutchinson Democrat. W. Y. Morgan, after two years excellent work as city editor of the Lawrence Tribune occupies the editorial seat on the Chase County Republican. Bion S. Hutchins, secretary of the Republican state committee, also ranks among the Kansas State University journalists. E. F. Caldwell, now with the Lawrence Tribune, is doing some excellent rustling in the business department of that paper. Among those who have written much for various journals are Jessie A. Austin, '79; Florence Finch Kelley, '81, and Frank Sharon Foster, '85.
In the legal profession there are a large number among whom are Charles and Willis Gleed, of Topeka; C. W. Smith, Stockton; A. C. Scott, Iola; W. C. Spangler, Lawrence; W. B. Brownell, Kansas City; E. C. Little, Ness City, and many others. Many of the graduates have become instructors in our high schools, and a host of them will be found at the meeting of the State Teachers' Association in Topeka this month.—Kansas City Journal, Dec. 17.
Mr. F. G. Adams, Secretary of the Kansas Historical Society, and Prof. W. H Carruth, have thought the acquire-
A NUMBER of Kansas editors battling against space, still continue to grind editorials attacking our esteemed Professor James H. Canfield. They lament the fact that the Political Science department turns out "free-traders," and nothing else but "free-traders." It is needless to state that the leading journalists of the State are silent on the question of removal. Of course this is all newspaper talk and nothing will come of it as the regents are men of marked intelligence and perceive what a fatal effect such an action would have. The University would like to have this ignomineous howl stopped as it does nothing more than excite prejudice against us.
From the present status of affairs, it wouldn't seem that efforts are made to remove a man as soon as he has gained a national reputation. The charges made, like most coarches, are false and do not deserve the notice of wise and thoughtful peole.
Exchange Gleanings.
One of the best college papers we have seen is the Lehigh Burr.
DePauw has a military company company composed of young ladies. When the young ladies of K. S. U. read this they will no doubt act with the spirit of the motto of Kansas. "Ad astra per aspera," and organize a fire company.

We suggest that the exchange editor of the Out look on the map and find out what State Denver is in.

And brave Apollo stood close by.

Kansas Coals.
Proof. L. I. Blake and E. H. S. Bailey after making a careful and scientific study of the quality and kinds of coal in the State have made full reports of the results of their labors for the biennial report of the State Board of Agriculture. They have visited and obtained specimens from about 35 different coal regions of the State. Prof. Blakemade his study for the purpose of ascertaining the relative amount of heat produced by each. According to Prof. Blake's investigation, the order of the coals, with regard to the heating power of each, is as follows: (1) Cherokee, including the Pittsburgh, Frontenac, and Weir County. (2) Ft. Scott, (3) Linn county, (4) Leavenworth, (5) Osage county, (6) Cloud county. Prof. Blake made over 100 burnings and he finds that it takes almost twice as long to burn the same amount of Osage coal as the Cherokee. All Kansas coals are inferior to the Indiana block coal, the Cherokee being almost as good. The apathesis by which he made his tests is one of the same kind officially used by the English Government in making similar tests. The Professor made all the burnings himself and can vouch for their correctness.
Prof. Bailey has worked with the same samples for the purpose of determining the chemical analysis. He has found that the evaporative powers follow the same order as the amount of fired carbon. He like Prof. Blake, finds that the coals deteriorate from the southeast part of the State westward so far as tested. Several other interesting facts will be brought out in the report. Other coals will be examined in the same way as fast as obtained. The Professors have been at considerable expense both of time and money in making these investigations and it is needless to state that these gentlemen like most scientific men, have done this without compensation from any one and their only reward is a more scientific knowledge of the mineral wealth of the State. If they have succeed in any way benefiting the people of Kansas by their researches, their labors will not have been in vain. This is the first examination ever made of the coals of Kansas and the results obtained have not a little surprised some of the coal dealers of the State.

High Schools and the University.
I
The action of the Board of Regents looking to a discontinuance of the preparatory classes in the State University will probably have effect in a much wider field than was at first anticipated. It most intimately affects very many of the High schools of the State if not all of them. The Chancellor reports that it is the subject of constant inquiry on the part of the Principals of these schools and that school boards and patrons are taking a new interest in the relations of the State University with the lower grades of the public school system.
The reason is obvious. Heretofore a student desirous of a collegiate education has been admitted to the State University and made welcome as soon as the most ordinary branches had been mastered. This fact has, time and again, been urged by School Boards as a reason why it is not necessary to broaden and raise the course of study in the home school. Indeed, it might almost be said that it has been impossible to do so; for the students for whom in large degree, the course would be strengthened, have generally sought these advantages in the University. Not only, then, has no pressing demand been felt by the School Boards for the College Preparatory branches of study, but also Principals and Superintendents have felt the discouragement that all educators feel when their most promising and hopeful students with draw from their classes.
We do not know how seriously the Lawrence High school has been affected by the preparatory courses in the State University but undoubtedly its effectiveness and the range of its studies have been in times past, somewhat impaired. Students have passed easily (too easily) from all the higher grades of the schools of the city into the University preparatory classes, and the attractions to "the hill" have been very considerable. A similar statement might probably be made with reference to most of the cities of the state in which there are colleges or universities carrying preparatory courses. In a majority of cases the best students have been drawn from the high school, discouraging principals and furnishing school boards with excuses for meagre courses of study which they have been either unwilling or unable to resist.
It will now be different. There are young men and young women in all parts of the state who wish to accomplish a collegiate education. These are generally enterprising, energetic, enthusiastic young people who do not hesitate to make their wants known. In many cases they are the children of people of consideration and of large local influence. Hereafter, this influence will be exerted in the direction of improved local schools. It is not too much to expect that the High schools of the state will take an impetus from this forward step of the University which will mark a distinct era of development.
or development. It is worthy also of consideration that this forward movement in the interest of the secondary education will be of immense advantage to a great number of young men and women of the State whose school life is limited by the range of the High School curriculum. After every provision is made for collegiate culture, the great mass of the youth of the State receive their education in the High and Grammar school if not in fact in the district school. Whatever, therefore, tends to an improvement of these bring educational help to the masses. This is most effectually accomplished by the abolition of the preparatory classes of the State University.

We understand that after the holidays Moot court will be held by a beach of associate justices selected from the classes. We learn that the first bunch will consist of Hobbs, Enns and Pollock.
All members of the Law Department have resolved to use their influence with the Kansas Legislators for the good of their department. The Senators and Representatives during the Christmas vacation will be interviewed, beseiged and bombarded until they are thoroughly convinced that the University of Kansas ought to have a working law library and that the students should not be required to study one year in a lawyers office.
Senior Moot Court met Monday. The case of State vs. Lowder was called for trial. The facts of the case are as follows: Lowders was engaged in the manufacture and sale of Glucose. The manufacture and sale of Glucose was prohibited by law and Lowders was prosecuted for violating the law. He defended upon the ground that he was engaged in a legitimate business and denied the right of the Legislature to prohibit the manufacture and sale of Glucose and therefore he questioned the constitutionality of the Law.

A Kick.
The time for the examinations now draweth near, and as we look forward in fear and trembling to that week of tribulation and retribulation a faint voice doth whisper in our ear that we can make a kick, and that we had better make it now, for we may not be with you after the examinations.
We have kicked on the system because we did not dare to kick on the examinations themselves, but that is what we are really kicking on.
Our kick is thus: We kick on the lack of system in the markings. One professor marks very close. Another is very lax in his markings. Another grades on the whole number of questions given and if you could not cover the whole ground of the questions so much the worse for you. Another grades on the number of the questions you have answered so you have answered them in order.
Now while Maria is lottering for James Nasium, our whole physical system is standing on its hind feet and yearning with a great and insatiable yearning for a radical change in their examinations
Unity Club.
KRONIK KICKER
"The Jacobite" was rendered in a very creditable manner at the Unity Club last Friday night. The hall was crowded, many having to go away for want of room, and a large per cent of these were University students. The following is the cast of this old English comedy.
Sir Richard Wroughton. Russell Whitman
Mayor Murry. John Whitman
Lady Summerford. Mrs. Gardner
Widow Pottle. Annie Turpin
Jay Poole. Marcela Howland
John Duck. W. A. White
Corporal. Hund Gardner
Servant. Clyde Diggs
Sir Richard the scheming English
Lord, who wished to compell Lady Summerford to marry him, that he might come into possession of her property, and had at her request obtained a pardon for Mayor Murry, whom she loved, was ably represented by Russell Whitman. John Duck fell in love with pretty Patty and asked the widow for Patty's hand, was refused on the grounds of poverty but told that when he had a hundred pounds he might have her. He is offered a hundred pounds to act as spy for Sir Richard, is captured by Mayor Murry and offered two hundred pounds to keep quiet and claims his Patty. He assists in foiling Sir Richard and obtaining the pardon which he gives to Mayor Murry and Lady Summerfield, and for a reward is given an annuity sufficient to live on.
This character was so well personified by W. A. White, that had the original Mr. Duck arisen from his grave, he would have been unable to tell which of the two was himself. "Billy" won the admiration of the entire audience by his splendid performance. He bids fair to rival the leading commedians of the present time.
Miss Howland sung and graced the occasion by her perfect composure while on the stage. The other players won laurels as artists in stage acting. The Sigma Chi Mandolin Club assisted much in completing the success of the evening's entertainment.
The Unity Club entertainments are always attended with success and this one surpassed all previous ones in attendance and acting.

DEBATE.
These two societies will hold their usual mid-winter joint meeting the first Friday evening after vacation. The meeting will be held in Athenaeum hall, and the program rendered will be an excellent one. The occasion will be a fitting opening of five months prosperous work, which seems to be in store for each society. We will only be able to give in this issue a portion of the program. Arrangements are being made with the best musical talent of the University and city, and a rare treat may be expected in this line. The program as so far made out is as follows:
Resolved. That the Oklahoma territory should be open to settlement.

consider the notice that my ordination examination
would be held in a fortight. I had only ten
(10) days in which to complete my year’s preparation in the case of any one so utterly unprepared as I was; but your system had so strengthened me and given me my mastery and gist of any book after reading it once, I therefore read Lightfoot, Proctor Harold, *The Chronicle*, 28, June 1895, on a case in every one of the nine papers. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.
