plying with a Request.
President McCosh, Of Princeton, is
the subject of this story, says the New
York Call, which is vouched for by old
Princeton men: 1.-THE venerable doctor
was accustomed to lead the morning
exercises in the chapel every day, and
during the exercises in the chapel gave
out the notices to the students. The
closing exercise was a fervent prayer
by the doctor. One morning, after he
had read the notices as usual, a student
cnme up with another notice that Prof.
Karge's French class would be at nine
o'clock that day, instead of $3.50, as
usual. Dr. McCosh said it was too late,
but the student insisted that Prof.
Earge would be much disappointed If
the notice was not read. The exercises
went on, and the doctor forgot all about
the notice. He started to make the final
prayer He prayed for the president of
the United States, the members of the
cabinet, the senators and representa-
tives, the governor of New Jersey, the
mayor and other officials of Princeton, |
and then came to the professors and in |
structors in the college. In the mean |
time Prof. Krage's notice came into his
mind and the assembled students were
lstonished to hear the venerable presi-
dent says And, o Lord, bless Prof.

Things He Must Know to Make LII

Outing tells about camp cookery. In
GLIDING the cook The genuine cam
cook is an artist in his way. The must

and the painter brings tears to the eve,
If inspired. The camp cook genius, BY
the very way in which he does his work
makes men hungry.
The camp cook" says the writer
should take pride in the artistic hand
ling Of his utensils, particularly in the
ability to keep half dozen things goipa
at once; he must keep already cooked
things hot; and cook the knocked
things in the meantime. To do this he
has to understand the kinds of fire tc
have, whether large or small blaze. hot
ashes or red-hot embers. He sbould
also know how to get the most work al
the least expenditure of labor from his
comrades. Something many cooks are
lacking in is the way to keep camp
dishes clean for cooking. An unwasbe6
apple saucepan viii serve to frv tront
IN and give them pleasant taste. Int
an unwashed fish spider will scarcel-
serve to cook apple sauce in. In other
words, the cook should know when and
what to wash"

The Insulation Damaged by the Founder
Ing Of the Big Fish.


Ing Of the Big Fish.
Submarine cables are usually i'm
bedded in the Shiny bottom of the
ocean. but at certain points they hang
like wire bridges over deep submarine
valleys, 50 that whales and other larg,
inhabitants Of the deep may becomt
dangerous to the cable. Once in awhile
1t is the cable that becomes dangerous
to the whales, as recently shown in Al
accident to the western Brazilian
cable. There was some trouble with
the wire, and after many futile efforts
the seat of the trouble was discovered
40 miles north of Santa Catharina. The
repair ship Viking was sent to repair
the damage, and began to take up the
cable near where the seat of trouble
had been located. After the cable
proper had been grappled and was
taken up on the large drums provided
for the purpose It was found that II
floated very much easier and was more
buoyant than was ordinarily the case.
The reason was discovered when in
loop of the cable the carcass of a whale
of more than go feet in length came up
with it. It appears that the whale
had become caught under the cable,
and. not being able to lift it nor to go
forward or back, it suffocated, since
it could no more rise to the surface, BY [
its last spasms or attempts to free it. !
self the whale had damaged the cable /
so that the insulation was rubbed of /
