a Story of the Undergraduate Days of tbs
Late Professor Adams.

A Story of the Undergraduate Days of the
Late Professor Adams.
was an undergraduate Of St. Johns
college, Cambridge, when the late Pro
fessor Adams was there as an UNDER
graduate also. well remember his ap-
pearance. He was rather small man,
who walked quickly and wore faded
coat Of dark green. AS had entered as
a pensioner and he as a-sizar, we did not
sit at the same table in hall or indeed
dine at the same hour. In my time the
Fellows hall and ours was at o'clock,
the sizars' (who had some dishes left
from the Fellows table, at S. Chapel
was at G. when every member of the
college was due and when some came.
Fellow commoners and pensioners saw
but little Of the sizars as rule, and
fear they were looked down upon on ac-
count of their poverty, except indeed
those few who were certain to do great
credit to the college. The fastest and
the vainest man would have been civil
to Adams, for he was known to be
pretty certain Senior Wrangler; besides
men bet on him and backed him as they
would q race horse. But he was SO ex-
ceedingly good, SO unusually safe, SO ut
terly and entirely the favorite that odds
were laid on him at 8, or even A to /.
Men little thought indeed that he
would very shortly discover comet,
and that science all through the world
would ''cap" him in concert with the un-
dergraduates to whom he soon. became
mighty don, though I believe one Of
the most gentle and unassuming that
ever lived.
A couple Of days after Adams bad

late and had a chat with Ballard, the
porter, before going to my rooms. 1 said,
well. Ballard, we've got the Senior
Wrangler, but that was Of course" Bal
lard looked glum. l could not under
stand it, for he was as proud Of the col
lege as any Of its members. "Ah, sir" I"
he said. "Mr. Adams did not behave well

as to say, Mr.. Adams, hope no offense,
sir, but I suppose you are certain to be
Senior Wrangler, because I have laid

laying another e5.' Now you'd hardly
believe it, sir, but Mr.. Adams told me
there was no certainty at all about it,
and that he might come out second or
third when all the while he must have
known he was dead certain"

knew, but all the university knew. But

AnoYel kind of swindle was practiced
in German town the other day. a man
struggling along under heavy burden
suddenly stumbled and crashed through
D plate glass store window The propri-
etor Of the store demanded payment.
The porter said he had no money. Pass
ersby advised that he be searched. A
thousand mark note was found on him,
which, he said, belonged to his employer.
The storekeeper, however. deducted 100
marks for the value Of his window and
handed 900 marks change to the porter,
who went away swearing and protesting.
A little later the storekeeper discovered
the thousand mark note was spurious.

the top OF every mountain shows q precipice
fifteen or twenty feet high on every side. The
fiat black crowns Of these mountains show
with singular effect above the gray Of the
Rrass-covered oonelomerate and the green OF
tree tops on the side below. In every aspect
tho region Ia picturesque and attractive to the
eye. As will be demonstrated further on, the
region has not materially changed since its
ancient Inhabitants vanished away. They
cultivated the same narrow valley. hunted
through similar groves in the caiions. and
clambered over the same lava-covered noun
tain tops In search of game.
AS one studies the remains OF this people
tho statement that the country has not materi-
ally changed since the ancient Inhabitants
disappeared seems very remarkable. for here
within range OF ten miles are enough ruins
Of houses to hold 10000 people. while the al
