however. did not prevent his owning
to cE cral little hobbies and good
ness of heart sometimes had the eject
ottak ne the moral partly out Of his
prcccrts.
Che Of these hobbies was his ardent
love OF botany. and his gcntlencss of
nature came out in his overlooking and
hiding many of the collcg ans little
faults.
Cnc morning cary he was returning
from a botanizing excursion. when by
the roadside he saw freshmen who
WAS plainly the worse from being out
all mig hit. He had evidently tried to
make his way to his lodgings. but the
effort was too much.
Stipulus, the tutor reused him, and
linking his arm to his own, continued
OF his way But what was his sir
prise. on going some little distance,
to meet another student in quite the
same condition as the first.
For a moment the moons stcncy of
nina staunch teetotaler-playing q
part OF a rcscuing ship to these wrecks
OF dissipation made him pause, but his
heart got the better of it.
Lifting the second fallen one he
stead cd the pair as we'll as he could
ard kept on his WY.
This double burden was not easy to
navigate. and rs he was by no means
Il powerful man their webbing grad l.
ally impaired q like motion to his own
steps. And 1T the very moment when
this wavc-likc movement had. so to
speak. reached its climax. on turning
Il corner he came face to face with sew
The surprise was so great that. not
knowing whether they bad given him
the slightest sign of recognition. he
failed to recover himself or even think
OF asking assistance until they had dis
appeared.
CONSCIOUS OF the purity of his heart
and motives however he took his car
80 home. and then went about his
duties ut the college. only to find the
report meeting him on every hand that
that morning he had been seen in such
condition on the public street that it
was necessary for two good-natured
students to almost break their backs to
carry him home.
OF course the matter was made plain
to the faculty. but while Stipulus is no
less a teetotaler than ever he wouldn' {
now stoop to pick up a man if he saw
him fall out OF a balloon. -Philadel-

Proof Of tlc Earth's Motion.

Take good-sized bowl. fill it nearly

floor of the room which is not exposed
to shaking or Earring from the street.
Sprinkle over tho surface Of the water

mark on the surface of the contents OF
the bowl, lay down upon the floor close
10 the bowl stick or some other
straight object. so that it will lie ex-
actly parallel with the charcoal mark.
If the line happens to be parallel with
crack in the floor Or with any
stationary ob.. CT in the room. this will
serve a. VOL. Leave the bowl undis-

observe the position of the black mark

water and everything else in the bowl

ATHLETICS AND BRAINS.
Statistics Which Prove that Mentality II
Often Allied 10 Muscle.

Often Allied to Muscle.
To infer that athletics are related
to scholarship as cause to effect would
be unwarranted, writes President
HYDE, of Bowdoin, in the Forum. But
observation does show conclusively
that excellent physical developm INT,
which is an indispensable condition o.
success in athletics is also a fav-
orable condition of success in
scholarship. 1t explodcs the pop
u'ar failacy that the mind and
body of the scho'ar are in inverse pro-
portion, and shows that they stand i'll
closest correlation. The awards
of the Smyth mathematical prize in
Bowdoin College for the FAST six
classes present remarkable if not
representative phenomenon. This
prize of $500 is based on course in
mathematics extending over two
years. ard is the most important col
lege prize. OF SIX consecutive recip-
tents OF this prize. the first was
the winner of Il quar- er-mile run.
the second was the pitcher OF the
college b2Se ball nine. the third was
the most brilliant performer Oh tho
trapcze the fourth was Il man Of good
physical development without special
athletic nttainmen.s. the fifth WIS the
catcher OF the college base ball nine

Pity for the President.

When M. Theirs. once president OF
tho French Republic, revisited his ma
tive town. he found one or two old
men who had been the companions OF
his bcyhood some sixty years ago and
whom he had not seen since.
He asked ono of them what he had
been doing. to which the old man re-
piled. with evident satisfaction. that he
had been driving flourishing trade in
the boot and shoe line.
And what have You been abou.?'
he in turn asked NJ. Theirs.

FACTS ABOUT WAVES.
Some Figures Regarding tho Height Of
Water Mo, n ains.

It is not uncommon in prose works
to read OF mountain Gus waves. Exact
measurements seldom confirm first i'm
pressions. Scoresby found that forty
feet was the height from trough to
crest of the largest waves measured by
him in the North Atlantic and in
cyclonic storm. when bound for Aus
tralia in the Royal Charter.
This has long been accepted Us the
extreme limit of wave height. Captain
Riddle. a well known and experienced
navigator, has. however. encountered
waves at sea which were 700 feet
high. The late Admiral Fitzroy had
previously observed waves as high:
and some observations made at As
cension in 1886 support these author
tiles.
In 1914 Her Ma;esty's ship Incon-
slant was scudding with her stern up
on the crest and her bow in the de-
preston between two successive waves.
and the wave ahead was observed ex-
actly level with her fore-topsail yard,
just q feet above the water line.
On the 9th of July. 1888. tho Cum
not less than fifty feet high, which did
much damage. Two DAYS before the
Wilson liner Mnrtcllo had similar
experience; an enormous solitary wave
struck her. completely s,bmerging the
decks. The Martello was smaller. and
more deeply laden than the qucenly
Umbria. No connection could be
traced between these waves. which
were referred to in tho dailie, as tidal
waves. although Of altogether different
origin.
In October. 1881. the italian bark
Rosina had all hands. except one man
who was ill in his bunk. swept off her
decks by wave which broke on board
rs they were shortening sail during
heavy sguall in mid-Atlantic. The
British bar. Cndine had one watch
washed overheard aud her captain
killed under similar circumstances.
1t is said that tho massive bell of
the Bishop rock was wrenchcd from its
fastenings by the momentum OF driv-
ing seas in gale of wind and the gal
lery containing it thickly strewn with
sand. although 100 feet above high
water mark.
Scoresby gave GOO feet as tho maxi
mum length Of sea waves. but there
are many longer. Mr.. Douglas. when
building lighthouses on the coast of
Cornwall noticed wavos 1900 feet
long from crest to crest.
