TOO MUCH WORK.

Tech Juniors Complain Of Burdens in
the Physics Department.
The Junior class at the Tech held q
meeting yesterday and voted to appoint
a committee to consult with Professor
Beals of the physics department in re-
gard to what they consider an unneces-
sary amount of work which they are
compelled to do.
The catalog specifies one lecture per
week in the junior physics department,
the time for which the class saws
has thus far this year been devot-
ed to an oral recitation, thus causing
them an extra amount of work, which
they claim adds too much to their all
ready heavy burdens.
The committee will attempt to have
the recitation changed to a lecture as
the catalog specifies. The committee
consists of Robert C. Allen, I. f. Dwln-
nell and William +. Howe.

PORTO RICO A WET ISLAND.

Porto Rico is wet island. We hear
OF a wet season and a dry season, Of
a wet side and a dry side. But these
terms are merely local relatives; and
they convey no meaning to the Ameri-
can mind. Within the island there
are considerable differences of precipi-
tation. rhe larger mountainous por-
ton, which constitutes ninetenths Of
the island, is always much wetter than
the coasts. The eastern end is not
only wet, but literally saturated. the
rainfall averaging 120 inches year
To the westward this rainfall de-
creases less RAPIDLY on the north side
than on the south: hence the former
is called the rainy region. and the lat
ter the arid. The island is bathed in
nightly showers of mist Language
can hardly describe the dampness OF
those daily showers and nightly down.
pours to say nothing of the at
mosphere, which usually is heavily
laden with moisture. The sun weeps
and the stars drop tears upon Porto
Rico; for often the showers make
their appearance out of an almost
cloudless sky. The south side of the
island is commonly called dry; yet
even there rain is excessive, judged by
the American standard, although ir-
rigation is necessity for certain
tropical crops which cannot live I'M
less constantly watered Upon this
drier coast the roads are bogs and
puddles for two-thirds of the year;
and, in order to prevent the hoofs OF
horses from rotting from excessive
moisture, it is necessary to build
platforms for them to stand upon Yet,
with all its dampness, the air is
pleasant and refreshing; and the SEN
sation of sultriness, which accom-
panies the low barometer-wave in
our own country, is never experienced.
The temperature of Porto Rico is
agreeable; but the conditions of
warmth and humidity are conducive to
the growth Of fungi and bacteria.

ton IS worth a pound Of cure" has
