college. President Day resigned in 1916,
and was succeeded by Prof. Theodore
Dwight Woolsey
President WOolsey, during the twenty
five years OF his administration, made
his wonderful executive powers felt in
every department Of the college. The
progress of the college in those years
was phenomenal and unprecedented, and
its forward strides brought to its re-
sources numerous gifts and beouests
from wealthy friends of the institution,
both in England and America.
The buildings erected as consequence
of these donations were as follows:
In 1928, Alumni Hall; in lS69-71.
Farnham College and Durfee College; in
1S64-66, the School of Fine Arts; in
1859, the Gymnasium; in 1S69-70, the
East Divinity Hall and the Trowbridge
Library Building; in 1871, the Marquand
Chapel; in 1889, the New Medical Col
lege; in 1869, the North Sheffield Hall.
Mr. Sheffield also purchased the old
Medical School, remodelcd it, and pre-
scented IL to the college.

tuting six graduates Of the college in

the place of the six senior State Sena-
tors as members of the Board of Man
ayers.
Professor Noah Porter was elected
President on the res gnation Of Profess
sor Woolsey, in 1870. The rich ri Is which
had begun to pour in upon the college
under President Woolsey continued I'm
increa cd volume in his successors adj
ministration. Many OF the individu al
gifts ranged high in the thousands, and
several were over 100000 each. To at
tempt list OF even the most muniticent
gifts to the college Is outside the limits
of this sketch. A marked feature of
President Porter's work was the large
increase in the number OF elective
studies.
The architectural additions of the
Porter Presidency were: 1s74-76, the
Battell Chapel; 1Ss2-s3, the Sloane La
boratory; 1ss5-s0, Lawrence College and
Dwight Hall, also the Peabody Museum
of Natural History. During these years
the Observatory, the West Divinity Hall,
and the Bacon Memorial Library were
also erected. In 1886, Professor Timothy
Dwight, grandson OF the former Presi-
dent, was elected TO that position, which
he now holds. The name OF the institu-
tion has been changed, to conform with
the growth and scope OF the school, from

since President Porter came into Office
are the magnificent new Chittenden

Colonel Yerger, of Austin, had just
finished writing letter. 1t was very
important that il should go off by the
next mail. so he rang the bell, and
upon the coIored servant. Matilda, APP
pearing, he handed her the letter, say
ing:
"Take this letter to the letter box on
the corner as fast as you can. 1t is
very important"
Matilda, the colored girl, went out
with the letter, and meeting the coach
man, handed it to him, saying:
"Jess you take dis heah letter to de
letter box"
The coachman started out with the
letter. He happened to see friend
passing, and it occurred to him that he
might save himself the trouble, so he
handed his friend the letter, request
ing him to post it without delay, as it
was very important. That night the
coachman's friend, just before retiring,
made the discovery that he had forgot
ten to post the letter, so he gave it to
one of the boys at the stable, enjoining
him to put it in the box early next
morning.
The stable boy was about to comply

Food. Benuty, and morality.

Professor F. L. Miles, of the Uni
versity of Maryland, delivered lee
ture to large audience of young men
recently on Food and Digestion" In
the course Of his lecture Professor
Miles, in speaking of the effects of an
insufficient quantity of food, said
-The fat disappears first, then the
muscles waste away, and finally the
bones come through the skin. The
brain, the spinal cord, and the nerves
are nourished to the last Like king
IN beleaguered city to whom his loyal
subjects give up their food, the nobler
organs are longest nourished. l.
starvation there Is not simple hunger
of the stomach but hunger of the whole
body. 1t is not strange that when
hunger presses on people they will do
strange things. 1t produces insanity,
and they have been driven to eating
what has been called strange flesh =
that Is, to cannibalism. There are
millions of people who have not enough
to eat. 1t Is at the bottom Of anarchy.
The police may give them a loaf of
bread, but the whole body is ill-nour-
ished, and a restless feeling results.
Not much can be done with the grown
up people of the criminal classes, but
the child criminal comes first. The
criminal classes are called dirty, lazy.
and ugly. OF course they are. They
are dirty because they have no spare
heat to let go; lazy, be ause the mus
ces are weak. and nature tells them
to keep still when hungry. You would
be astonished to know how much of
the beauty of the faiFest woman is
made up fat. The criminal classes are
ugly because they have no fat How
could child whose muscles and ner-
vous system have been partly starved
be expected to have all the svmpathies
and instincts of higher class of So
ciety? An every day Sabbath school,
with breakfast before the lesson,
would be capital thing for poor chill
dren. Some say the poor themselves
are to blame for their condition by liv-
ing too luxuriously. One Of the most
intense cravings of the Greeley Arctic
party was for sweetmeats. Tea and
coffee do more good than harm. They
stimulate not only the brain but the
activities of the whole body. There
will be great mission to the poor
some day to see that they get enough
of good food. = Baltimore sun.

The Beautiful Insect Musician OF Our
Woods.

The Beautiful Insect Musician of Our
Woods.
The most beautiful insect sonyster
of our woods is the strange and won
derfully fashioned katydid. He sings
when he likes, eats, rests and sings
again. unmindful of anything save his
own pleasure and the messages that in
reply are waited to him from among
the trees and wild flowers. Who that
ever spent a twilight hour in the woods
has not heard the almost human tone,
@Katydid-she did," and the assevera-
ton comes louder and louder, fuller Of
delight and assurance and approba-
ton from every echoing bough, "She
did she did"
This beautiful insect, in its brilliant
green dress. is truly American.
Should we wish to designate our true
paternity in the soil, this is the grass
hopper that should be our badge of
American blood. But, alas, the must
cal katydid is growing fewer In the
far West the music of these creatures
is never-ceasing from the time the
evening star beams forth until the sun
sends them to rest from their revel.

houses asking that this system OF sui
eide be legalized and adopted as the
means of carrying out the sentence of
capital punishment. with an excellent
chance of It's becoming law.
The problem the inventor has at
tempted to solve was to devise some
means by which the victim, by his own
act, would let the weight fall and hang
himself The problem has been solved
by the methods depicted in the illus
trations Of this article.
A square platform, about three
inches high, was placed in the center
of the floor. This platform is set over
q spring, Which bends down about half
an inch under the weight of man. 1t
is the descent of this platform that
pulls the "jerk" that releases the
weight. But it has been so arranged
that minute and half elapses be-
tween the time that the man steps
upon the platform and the time the
weight falls.
In the closet there are two square
buckets, one above the other. The
upper bucket, when it is full of water,
weighs forty pounds. 1t rests upon
the end of a beam that moves up and
down upon an axis. At the other end
of the beam rests loosely an iron ball,
which weighs twenty-nine pounds.
This ball is attached loosely to the rod
that regulates the large weight in the
wooden pipe.
The little window already mentioned
has been painted in the shape of dial.
A hand on the dial is attached by a
string to a float In the lower bucket.
As the water rises In the lower bucket
the hand moves from right to left
across the face of the disk. 1t takes
about minute and half to run across
from one side to the other. When the
victim steps upon the platform the
descent of the spring moves a rod that
pulls stopper and permits the water
to trickle from one bucket to the other.
AS the upper bucket becomes lighter
it rises, and the weight at the other end
of the beam lowers at the same time
the float in the lower bucket rises as
the water pours in. The hand begins
its progress across the dial. The upper
bucket continues to ascend, and the
position of the weight at the other end
of the beam becomes every moment
more precarious. The weight trem-
bles; the hand has we'll righ made its
journey across the dial Suddenly the
weight slips off the beam. 1t falls.
By that fall it pulls the long arm that

Balloon voyage to the Nor.h Pole.

The two daring aeronauts who pro-
pose to make a journey to the north
pole are meeting with many discour-
agements. The French society of
aerial navigation have pronounced
unanimously against it. At recent
meeting of the society in Paris, the
President, M. Mage editor of Cosmos,
made an address which was quite dis
heartening to the projectors OF the en-
terprise. He advised them to make
better use of their energy and devotion
to science than to attempt 10 reach the
north pole by balloon. M. Mage said
1t was impossible to believe the gentle
would succeed. All our information
about the prevailing winds in the polar
regions indicates that each extremity
of the earth's axis is region of circu-
lar wind currents. There is little pros
pect that the wind would carry balloon
travellers to their destination. Then,
even in summer a very low tempera-
ture prevails, heavy falls Of snow are
frequent, and it is difficult to believe
balloon could remain in mid-air while
heavily weighted with snow. Frost

of the balloon extremely difficult, If not
impossible. The land or water surface
would for days at time be obscured
by heavy mists. The compass would
be useless, and the voyagers would
have to try to direct their movements
by the stars, an art in which balloon
travellers are not proficient. M. Mage's
remarks were Endorsed by the entire
society.
M. Hermite. who, with M. Besaucon,
projected this daring voyage, said in
reply that he aud his comrade intended
next summer to go to Spitzbergen and
launch pilot balloons for the purpose
of learning all they could at that point
of the direction of the prevailing
winds II the result of these expert.
ments is favorable they will return to
France and prepare to make their
polar voyage in 1892. If the results
are unfavorable they will renounce the
expedition. He did not believe that
the difficulties 10 the way of balloon
travelling were SO great as the P,esi-
dent believed.
