This salary is greatly in excess of the
amount which Great Britain deems
sufficient for any one of her represent

Britain's most l.. ~ lid ambassador
Is the representative in Paris, though
he receives little more than half the
sum DR.. Leyds is to draw-a beggarly
$4,000. Britain's ambassadors to Ger
many, Austria-Hungary and Turkey
receive 1880; while $500 less is con-
sidered enough for the British am
bassador who takes up his residence in
the Eternal City. For some reason,
known only to the diplomatic mind,
the British representative in Washing
ton Is much worse off, receiving but
$500 a year, though he has probably
to work far harder for his county. The
ambassador to Spain receives Is, 500,
while the representatives in China and
Persia draw $500 each less. The
heads OF the legations in Japan, Brazil,
and Egypt each receive $4,000, but
Lord Crcmer has besides Il 900 as a
personal allowance" The British
agent at Pretoria, who is paid by the
Colonial Office, receives only $4,000 a
year.

NORMAN


United Press and the Chicago Times
Herald, was almost expelled two
months previous because he reported
the circumstances Of what is known
hereabouts as the Kirchner case. Pro-
lessor Otto Kirchner, of Detroit, while
delivering a lecture to the junior law
students, was driven from the platform
by the noise and cat-yells of the STU
dents. This exhibition Of rufianism
was the talk Of the town, and when Mr..
Downing made a reference to it in an
article he was quickly summoned be-
fore the faculty and told that if he re-
ported anything detrimental to the uni
versity he would be expelled.
h story of Mr.. Cameron's trouble
is an interesting one. A short time
previous to his expulsion he sent to a
newspaper a story of a medical student
who ate a sandwich in which human
flesh had been substituted for other
meat. The Joke was perpetrated in

as he "baron,' look one bite of the

Gus and barbarous act had been done,
but being a plucky man he refused to
show any signs of distress in the pres
ence of the other students. Luckily he
was able to discard what he had eaten.
AS the bodies are picked in arsenic
this probably saved his life. Won Wide
kind was i'll three days nevertheless
from the effects, and it was feared at
one time that blood poisoning had set

Yet, that the medical students not
only here, but in practically every other
institution Of the land. never lose an
opportunity to indulge in hideous and
nauseating jokes with the sacred re-
mains of the dead.

mater did not visit the anatomical la

similarly treated every year. The pro-
fessors in the medical departments
must know these facts. and they have
never taken any steps to prevent
them"
Scarcely had the pape containing
this screed reached the streets before
DR.. Charles B. Nancrede, professor of
surgery, me DR.. J.. Playfair McMur-
rick, professor of anatomy, called upon
Mr.. Cameron and, after condemning
him bitterly, threatened his expulsion
from the university. DR.. Nancrede
said that if he would make a retraction
In the paper and apologize for the
roast on the professors all steps
would be dropped. A partial apology
was given ard accepted on these terms.
But the young man now admits that he
made a mistake. for the willy professor
turned this apology against him at the
faculty meeting.
The following evening the press CEN
sorship at the university was estab-
llshed. h senate, composed of all
the full professors. met and adopted
rules governing the kind of reports
tuden correspondents should in the
future send out.
Mr.. Cameron set about getting afiida-
Wits to the statements he made, and in
two days he collected over thirty from
his fellow-students as to what a been
going on in the laboratory. Human
flesh throwing seemed to be a common
thing, as that was what the majority
testified to. One young man declared
that he went into the medical h~eadquar.
tiers carrying an umbrella, and that
when he came out it was half full of the
inner portions of a human body. An
other student had a blood-soaked
sponge hurled at him, which spattered
and ruined his clothes. 1.-The stencil
was foul" he said. Another had an ear
put into his pocket, and others had por-
lions of the body too loathsome to
mention pinned on their coats. One
young man had a bleeding piece of
flesh thrust own his neck.
M faculty then brought a little more
pressure to bear. The students who
stood by Mr.. Cameron We're told that
If their names remained on the state
ments they would subject themselves
to expulsion. Many of them got scared
and came around and asked to have
their atfidavits back. and they were re-
turned.
The law faculty met next. Mr.. A.
B. Marx, one Of Detroit's business men,
was in Ann Arbor. He went before the
faculty with young Cameron and gave
his experience. Il vas up visiting the

listen longer, and having been given
but a twenty-minute hearing, he was
asked to leave the room. The vote Of
the faculty was not unanimous in favor
of expulsion. Professor Bradley M.

justice was being done.
Ann Arbor citizens were much
aroused over the matter, for these al
legged medical Jokes" have been the
talkj Of the town, n the general feel
ing is that the faculty have been very
negligent in their duty. 1t Is almost
impossible for a medical student to OBJ
tain rooms in the better class Of board
ing houses, it is said.
At the last session Of the legislature
a bill was framed making it a penal
offense for the students to tamper with
the remains Of the dead, but in the final
hours Of the adjourning rush 1t was laid
aside for more important measures
This bill will undoubtedly be passed
at the next session.

circumstances Of the case. So far no
action had been taken to punish the
perpetrators Of the deed, though the
correspondent was expelled for writing
1t up. This is exactly what the legisla-
ture proposes looking into at it's next
session.
Shortly after the article was printed
the University Daily, a paper published
at Ann Arbor, came out with a long ed
ltorial, the main thoughts Of which are
said to have originated in the brains
of one Of the professors who caused the
expulsion. 1t branded the story as a

OSsss1s and the 6Aeat Salt Lake.

The suggestion that oysters might
be cultivated at the mouths of streams
emptying into the Great Salt Lake has
led to a careful examination by DR.. II.
F. Moore of the United States fish COM
mission. The lake itself is too salt
:.or oysters, but it was thought that in
bays and arms, where fresh water en-

a point suitable for oysters, clans,
crabs and similar animals used for
food. The Investigation renders 1t

regular enough for the purpose.
