THE FIELD EVENTS.
These Were Down on the Program for
the Academy's Special Benefit.

The field events were put on the
program for Worcester Academy
benefit. The students from the hill
waded through the five field events and
were unapproachable by the athletes
from the other schools. The five events
represented a total Of 40 points and of
these Worcester Academy scoOped 80,
the other seven being scattered among
Boston English high, Andover, WOrces-
ter high and Brookline high.
In two Of the events Worcester AGA
DENY took all the points. First place
in all Of them went to the crimson and
black and second place in three of them
went to swell the academy's total
The winning of the academy boys in
any of the events was not due TO the
fact that small fields competed, but to
the ability of the team, which is far in
excess of the average schoolbOy ath-
lete, and even beyond many of the
men who competed in the recent inter
collegiate games at the oval
AS a polish to the fine work in the
field, the academy boys placed two ad-
ditional records to their credit on the
associations books. One Of them was

THE RoERs. ADVANTAGE.


Napoleon had quite as much adVan-
tage over the Spaniards during the
war In that country from 1908 to 1914
as the British have in the case of the
Beers. He could send army after
army, and he did. He defeated the
Spaniards whenever they stood their
ground, but In the end the resolution
Of the peasant brought all his magnii-
cent armies to dissolution. In the
Boers' case, however, It Is not at all
probable that the British win gain
any field where there Is anything like
equality OF numbers. Then, too, the
Beers can re-enforce from near by,
while the invaders must send to Eu-
rope for men to make up for the
slaughtered and diseased. There Is
some uncertainty as to the supply OF
arms IN the TransvaaL From British
sources it is made known that Kruger
has been unable to secure the machine
guns and latest pattern OF rife; that
his armies lack modern artillery. But
for that matter the British forces in
the last invasion, ending at Majuba
hin, had the advantage in arms Of all
sorts, but the Beers made up for the
lack by swarming up the inaccessible
erzgs Of the fortified hill and fighting
hand to hand. In this sort OF combat

The nIu,e Of Rrnth.rhooa. .

Edwin Markham's most recent poem.
The Muse Of Brotherhood, is one Of
the few really great poems that the
closing years Of the century have pro-
duced. In 1t Mr.. Markham voices a
lofty optimism that is at once more
impressive and more convincing than
the notes Of hopelessness and despair
that characterize The Man with the
Hoe. At the same time he nobly sets
forth the principles OF that universal
brotherhood which says:
My love Is higher than heavens where
Taurus wheels,
Ny love IS deeper than the pIllared
skies:
High as that peak In Heaven where
Milton kneels.
Deep as that grave In Hen where

Survival of q Peculiar Custom
in the North of France.

Each year. in the middle of August,
the parish feasts at Cambria, in
France, are concluded with the march
Of the giants. The cortege was partic-
ularly fine this year, the Gayant fami-
ly Of Douai and Reuse Of Dunkirk hav-
ing responded to the invitation Of the
Cambrians.
The various programs published at
Cambria have taken care to recall to
mind the origin Of the institution Of
the popular giants Of Flanders. 1t was

endowed the subjects Of the north with

might engage and amuse these peo-

that the giants arose spontaneously
out Of the soul Of the people. They
are the heroic warriors who have saved
the city, and OF whom the remem-
brance is perpetuated under this sym,
bolical aspect.
However that may be. for the most
part the towns OF Flanders, Belgium,
have their giant. For instance, there

he made an outcry, expecting that the

AS the Filsingers entered the room
the burglars saw them and ran for the

He entered the room late, after the
guests had assembled, and one Of his
colleagues turned to him and said:
Excuse me, Herr GeheimratE, but
what have you done with your orders?"
Bunsen was taken aback; he thought
for a moment and then, plunging his
hand into his left trousers pocket,

crosses. AS soon as they recovered

Boiling In LIauId Air.

Liquid air Is so Geld that mercury
immersed in it turns solid and can
be employed to hammer q nail. Yet
when a glass tube containing liquid
hydrogen is immersed in liquid air
the hydrogen gently boils, and gradu-
ally turns into vapor, like water sim
mering over a slow fire. The tempera-
ture Of liquid air is 312 degrees Fab
renheit below zero, but that is hot
compared with the temperature Of liq-
uid hydrogen, which is about 420 de-
grees below zero. Prof. DeWar finds
1t impossible to prevent an open yes
sci containing liquid hydrogen from
having a whitish deposit Of solid air
at the bottom, because the moment the
air comes in contact with the Iiquened
hydrogen 1t Is frozen hard and sinks
through the hydrogen.
