compounds Of the wheat. The whole
thing was done by Professor Chester,
and itself attests the thoroughuess and
perfection OF the work, which is declared
by expert scientists to be the best grain
delineRtion from nature yet accomplished
In this country. The reading matter is
taken up with the reports OF the botani-
cal, meteorological, chronological and
chemical departments by Professors
Chester, Hartes, Beckwith and Penny
respectively. These, together with the
report of Director Neale, take wide range,
carefully summarizing and describing the

Z iward Dougherty, son OF Squire
Dougherty Of Lau1snberg, was killed nj
Baltimore last Saturday on the P, w. Il
b. railroad. He was freight brakeman
on this road, and in passing through one
OF the tunnels in that city he fell from
the top of mis- train and was instantly
killed. Il is suspected that his fall was
due to his sudden asphyxistio1 by the
accumulated gas in the tunuel. 10 was
about ~ years of age, and was formerly
a brakeman on the Newark u Pomeroy
railroad. Curi0usIy enough it was this
young mans place on the latter road that
Alton McIliwee took some time ago, and,
lii the discharge Of which duties he also
Was killed two weeks ago.

In view Of the recent urgent demand
for more land in connection with Della
ware College for agricultural, athletic
and military purposes. the last report Of
President Raub is interesting. 1t says
among other things: "The college should
have more land, especially that expert.
msnts in agriculture and horticulture,
' made by the agricultural experiment sta.
ton connected with the college, might be
more effectively managed under the
direct supervision Of the officers o. tins
station. II needs more land Tor exercise
grounds, and il its present prosperity
continues it will also need additional
buildings for gymnasium, dormitorie'
end class rooms.n 1t ia earnestly hopei
