THE STUDENTS SOCIETY.
The Members Entertained by Lecture by
William Silver.

William Silver.
The regular session OF the Students
society of the Latter day Saints college
was held in the Social Hail, Friday even
ing, October "a, 1890. The chairman, j. j.
Walton, introduced William j. Silver, ESQ.,,
member of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, and of the
American Society of Mechanical Engin-
GERS, who delivered the first of two lectures
on the subject of iron. The lecturer com
menced by explaining the uses and compo
sition of iron in its various forms. 1t is a
metal Of a pure blush color, and its weight
is eighty times that of water. The cleo
trio process of welding has been worked
to such degree that metal cannot only.
be welded in itself, but also to other metals.
l. odestone is magnetic iron ore.
Iron has been known from the earliest ages.
In several places in the Bible it is made
mention of as also in the Book of Mormon.
Iron was used by Tubal Cain, who was an
iron and steel monger. At the earliest
period of Grecian history iron was known
Lycurgus introduced iron money among the
Spartans. Iron is mentioned in the year
$50 B. c., and was used by the Chinese in
building their tombs and making weapons
of war. The poet Virgil speaks quite fam
iiiarly- on the subject OF iron. The iron
by Solomon because he made not only his
own tools, but those of other mechanics.
The various processes of smelling were ex-
planned. The Catalan forge, used by the
early Europeans and Americans, was illus
trated by diagrams and fully described.
During the thirteenth, fourteenth and fif-
teenth centuries iron was used extensively,
and for hundreds of years after Casar's
time Catalan FORCES were in use. Iron was
used by the Britons, Anglo-Saxons and
monks in Caesars day. The Crusades
show that the English were well &C
quainted with the uses of iron.
A forge had been placed in position for
the purpose of showing the different CON
ditions of iron as we use it. Cast iron is
easily broken, while wrought iron is easily
bent down on itself without signs of break
ing. Steel bends slightly, but is not easily
broken. Tool steel, by being heated, and
then suddenly cooled, will be hardened and
can be easily broken, while before heating
it could be bent without breaking Cast
iron after heating can be broken, but can
be moulded together readily Hot iron
combined with sulphur fuses and runs off.
The lecture was followed by a vocal duet
by Misses Maude Bowring and Jessie
Pugh

IS the best plan to get close to them and
wait until they strike the air. You will
then catch them unGer the wings.
One of the most curious methods of duck
shooting is to be found in the landes or
marsh districts of France, in the neighbor-
hood of La Rochelle. The local proverb
runs: ''Who comes from La Rochelle smells
OF mud, and 1t IS so. The boots of the
peasant and the cattle, horses. dogs and
carts are all plentifully bedaubed with if.
The marshes extend on every side for MANY
miles, not continuously. but in a succession
OF dry and wet tracts, the wet predominant

there through the morasses to the higher
grounds where the sheep are fed, but they
are winding and t)rtuous. Consequently
the inhabitants of the district are a nation
of silt walkers.
The men who drive the sheep to feed fol

they return on stills by a short cut. The
postmen use stills, and so do the hunters
These marshes are the home of the wild

from the paths in the most secluded places.
inaccessible 20 one walking in the ordinary
way So the hunter dons his stills. These
are about eight feet long, the footholds
being about six feet from the ground They
are fastened to the ankle and just below
the knee with leather straps. At the bot
tom, to keep them from sinking too far into
the mud is a disk of wood, which makes the
silt lock as if it had been pushed two
inches or so through small wooden plate.
On these the sportsman can stride from
place TO place and alsog get an uninterrupted
view of the ducks as they rise. He is ac-
companied by long-legged dog, something
like the Norfolk spaniel, who swims and
founders along to retrieve the birds when
shot, or find them to shoot. At his back
the man carries long, light pole about six
feet long, fitted with a gaff like that used
for salmon, and when a bird is retrieved he
hooks it up to his hand and deposits it in a
basket at his back.

Protests Acted Upon.

For some time past the new electric light
company have been placing their poles over
the city, and in many instances have
planted them where it was necessary to de-
stroy shade trees and in other ways annoy
property owners. Several protests have
been entered and at their meeting Friday
night, the city council took action in the
matter by passing the following ordinance:
Be it ordained By the city council of Ogden
That poles for any and all wires strung,
and to be strung in the streets, except
wires for railways, shall be placed within
the outer curb of the sidewalk, and shade
trees shall not be impaired.

expired, the high altitude of that state be-

decoy should always face the wind. This

easy matter, if they are well anchored.

ldecoys. Each bird was made of two pieces
of thin wood. One piece represented a
duck in profile or outline, (the wood being
only half an inch thick and was fitted over
another fat piece of wood, showing the sur
face of a ducks back, viewed from above.
Thus, whether the birds were flying over
or sidewise, the two views gave the shape
of duck. With these decoys was a large
triangular frame, on which they could be
