THE FIRST BUILDING ERECTED.
There is one building which was the first to be
erected of the college buildings. 1t Is brick
structure is circular and some twelve feet high
by as many In diameter. 1t was erected nearly
three years ago and. despite its unpretentious
character. II is playing a most important part IN
the scientific world. This is known as the Lati-
tude Observatory. There are two other struc-
lures Of the same kind in the world contain
ing duplicate and triplicate instruments manu-
featured by the same man. These are located IN
Spezzia and in St Petersburg The purpose OF
the observatory Is to settle the question as 10
whether the world "wabbles," or. in other words,
whether there is detection of the equator.
Within the small brick mouse the principal IN
strument is a zenith telescope. This Is set at a
certain angle south and then the instrument is
revolved so that the telescope. stu at the same
angle points north. The star AT that angie Is
observed. and the zenith Is then calculated from
the distance between the star north and that
south first Night after night these OBJ
servations made and noted. Then the loca-
ton of the building upon the earths surface Is
determined Sometimes this will gary five feet
from one night to another. The greatest varia-
ton thus far observed has been thirty feet III

suspected, that the equator Is as inconstant as
the moon, and that the earth does "wabble.'

WHERE CAPTAINS ARE AT FAULT.

This ship constantly at anchor IN her
home port. But in foreign waters 1t Is an en-
tirely different thing The custom Is when shore
leave has been granted to a squad for slip to be
sent around among the men. on which they name
the amount Of money they wish or think they
need This slip is returned to the captain. and
whether or not the men get the money depends not
on the Navy regulations. but the whim OF the COM
handing officer Should he be in ungracious
mood then comes the chance OF the money-lender,
and he never lets a chance so by. That this
method, or rather, lack OF method. or doing bust
ness is productive Of evil results. Is only too plain
TO those who have seen the effects OF such an arbi-
trary way Of dealing with men
An Instance was recently brought to the writer's
notice where the captain OF a ship OF the Pacific
squadron had called a man TO the mast and asked
him what he was going TO do with so much money.
The man had more than 500 to his credit on the
books and had signed the slip for $50. The man
replied that he wanted to send some OF 1t home to
his people to purchase few curios, and make
some business payments. which had to be met with

GAMBLING IN ENGLAND.
Young Fools Who Are FIeeced In Coun-
try Houses.


While there is a determined crusade
against gambling in England, and hum
dreds of workingmen and tradesmen
are arrested every week for betting, no
check has been put upon the heavy
play going on in the country houses OF
the nobility. The law is virtually
powerless to interfere with this class
Of sport, says London letter, and the
players do not belong to type that
can be Influenced by moral suasion,
but if current stories are true meas
ures of some sort should be adopted to
suppress or diminish the evil. Al
though the victims are not disposed to
''squeal, for various reasons. it is whis-
pered that some very shady tricks are
resorted to to relieve poor fools of
their superiuous cash. Many young
members of hunting and shooting
parties are despoiled by aristocratic
sharpers, and instances of subsequent
hardships are told at the clubs, with
comments that do not spare the coun-
try frostesses.
The women, indeed, are more eager
games than the men, and they have
less pity for the young fools that are
tnveigled into dropping their pocket
money and giving o Us when ready
cash is exhausted. Two young officers
of smart regiment are said to have
been ruined by play recently. They
have sent in their papers TO the war
office. and start for the colonies soon TO
try and retrieve their fortunes. So
long as men like the prince of Wales
patronize the gaming tables of coun-
try houses it is difficult to keep the
gambling habit within bounds. 1t is
said the prince has reformed in other
respects. and that he is in very moral
mood. If the opponents of gambling,
in high as well as low places, could Sc
cure his cooperation a great many
young men and not few old fools
would be infinitely better off financial

his farmyard hall a dozen times after
nightfall, and on each visit picked up
one Of the farmers fat hens or plump
chickens and went away to his home
in hollow tree with his prey. Finally
he tackled twelve-pound turkey COB

foe, however, and fierce battle en-
sued, in which the turkey was speedily
slain, but the owl was unable to get
