Newark, July Work has been
started on the new machine shops at
Delaware College, and it is expected
they will be tinishsd by September
18th. The wood working and iron work
ing shops will be housed in single
brick building, GA feet long and % feet
wide, and two stories high. This new
building is being built upon ths foun.
dation OF the old structure. which was
destroyed by fire in April. The new
shops will be in every way superior to
the old ones, and will be fs nearly fire
proof as IL is possible 20 make II. Tho
brick will be laid after the fashion
known as the Flemish style, which will
give the structure an ornamental and
semi antique effect. The shops proper
will occupy the ground floor. which will
be airy and well lighted with many
large windows. Here will be stationed
the machinery to be used by the
students in the engineering courses, a
large dynamo, wood working machinery,
lathes, drill-presses aud various smaller
tools. The second floor will be used for
a large drafting room, two recitation
rooms, a laboratory, a testing room and
the office OF the engineering depart
ment. This floor will bY finished in
hard wood and its partitions will be
studded and plastered. The large
grouped windows are calculated to fur
nish abundant light and air. At the
northeast corner Of the building will be
| one story addition in which the boilers
will be housed. At the south front
will be built tower in which will he
the stairway. Those acquainted with
the topography of the campus, will re-
call that the old shops stood east OF the
dormitories and north of the agricul.
tural experiment station. The new
building will occupy the same site. but
will be a much more conspicuous
feature of the campus than the ole
structure as it will be considerable
higher than was tine former shop, anc
of much more attractive architecture.

tho enemy. And it was upon him that

years. 1t was an uuHought-for honor
which probably the Spanish captain
did not appreciate. -.

beautiful warships flying the American

Those are his sxact words. And In ad-

The scraps Of the breadbox are soms-
thing that often weighs heavily on the

twice week from the box and attended

scrap OF bread, eyan the crumbs OF the
breadboard, may be made useful IL
they are systematically saved and
dried.
If supply Of bread is baked semi
weekly, the brradbox should be cleared
to be put AWAY, and all scraps not
large enough for to toast or for
fried bread should be broken up and
set un tin plate in the heating
closet to TRY. The entire slices and
pieces OF loaf which are saved for
toast or for other purposes should be
kept by themselves and systematically
used up once week. IL they are not
used for toast or fried bread after
standing a few days they should be
broken up and dried in the heating
closet with the smaller scraps.
| These scraps to be properly dried for
crumbs must stand 10 this place until
all moisture has left them. They are
