The following story Of the origin of
the word quiz will doubtless be OF in
terest to university students to whom
this word is peculiarly significant.
When Richard DAILY was patentee
of the Irish theater. he spent the even
ing of a Saturday in company with
many Of the wits and men OF fashion
of the day: gambling was introduced,
when the manager staked a large sum
that he would have spoken all through
the principal streets of Dublin by a GER
tain hour next day. a word having no
meaning and being derived from no
known language. Wagers were laid
and stakes deposited.
DAILY repaired to the theater, and
despatched all the servants and super,
numeraries with the word quiz
which they chalked on every door and
every shop window in town.
Shops being shut all next day, every
body going to and coming from their
different places of worship saw the
word. and everybody repeated it, SO
that quiz was heard all through
Dublin; the circumstance of Sc
strange a word being on every door and
window caused much surprise and ever
since. should a strange story be at

The members of the experiment sta
tion will this winter carry on a series
of experiments to determine the eff
feet Of alkali on termination OF seeds.
The experiments which Prof. Buffum
made last year proved that the dele
~terious effects Of alkali were not due
entirely to the poisonous action of the
salts on the growing plant, but that the
time required for terminating seed was
retarded in direct proportion t the
amount of alkali salts in the soil. This
shows clearly why plants do not flour
