Mr.. p. s. Erhwo rth and DIR. Kavet, a ply
stefan of Erie. Pa. has made application for
patent on a recently discovered process for
preserving the dead. supposed to be the long
lost Egyptian art. They claim that partly
nv accident and finally by experiment they
have discovered a certain combination of
ap,i.eptic elements which. if dffused through
a dead body, even when it is in an advanced
stage of decomposition, will destroy all
corruptable matter and convert the flesh into
a cartllaginous state, the diseased parts OF
the body. such as the grisly part of the ear,
being converted INTO a horny substance, re-
tanning its natural appearance. In one OF
their experiments they, by the aid of
electricity, applied the chemicals to the dead
body of an infant at the Aims House at Erie,
Pa. Ten weeks after the body had been re-
moved from all contact with the chemicals
the flesh became like rubber. the cheeks
were full and plant to the touch, and the
ears had become horny. There was no odor.
and il seemed to have no more properties OF
accommodation than q rubber ball. Whether
the BODY will remain in this plant state, or
whether il will become hard As the denser
parts now are, it will probably take more
than lifetime to determine. But whatever
change may take place the doctor claims
that il cannot dry. The discovery was kept
secret for some time, the discoveries not
wishing to make it public until they had
satisfied themselves of its successful appll-
cation.

A deputy sheriff who resides not thousand
miles from Gardiner had occasion to return
from Boston on the Pullman one night this

was of hearing the shout of the brakeman.

friend got out. and with grip-sack in hand
started for Gardiner. The sidewalk frosty
and slippery, he was obliged to monopolize

four o'clock that morning, violent

to the present time no other New England
college has furnished q larger percentage
from its graduates of missionaries and school
masters than has Waterville College-named
Colby University in 1867. Her alumni are
especially strong a. teachers, and good rep
resentatives of this class are not wanting in
Massachusetts, in the persons of Charles E.
Hamlin, Larkin DuqtRn, W. II. Lambert,
A. p. Marble and others. Here in 1880 was
graduated Henry w. Paine. In 1885 that
genial man and brilliant author. William
Matthews, left her halls, and has been
Getting On in the World ever since. In
the class of 1888 of this institution appears
the name of Benjamin f. Butler, Governor
elect of Massachusetts.
In the sixty years of active life the college
has graduated $50 alumni. At the present
time her halls are full and her treasury re-
plenished. and all her affairs in fiourishinR
condition DIR. Pepper wotthilv fills as Presi-
dent the large place made vacant by the res
ignation of DIR. Robbins. The corps of in

of new Professors and strengthened
and enlivened by the introduction
of younger blood and unsated
ambition The ample fund provided by
Gardner Colby and increased by ex-Gov
Cobnrn insures to the University a great
future. Some ten years ago ladies were ad-
mitted to the college and required to take
the usual course of study. Conservative in
all things, Colby has not changed her
curriculum for the last twenty wears.
Greek, Latin and mathematics now, as then,
are most prominent in her course of study.
Her trial of education has not thus far
been fairly made. No care has been taken
to provide proper conveniences for young
ladies. Some of the instructors have been
opposed to the innovation from the be-
ginning, while no one of them 10 or
ever has been very enthusiastic in behalf
of the movement. At times, too, some of
the young men have acted like cubs
toward their lady classmates. This is
especially noticeable in a late publ
cation issued by the students. Under these
discouragements the more observing friends
though suppressed opposition of teachers,
the ridicule of classmates. that total lack of
even a single room at the college which the
ladies use and occupy exclusively as their
own, a four years course with mathematics
every term-all these try the courage and
patience, and some of them humiliate the
self-respect of true lady Under the pres
| ent conditions it will be strange if co-educa
ton proves anything but complete failure
at Colby. 1t is to be hoped this matter may
receive attention from friends of the college.
