University Of Chicago not long since
considered the deslrability Of restrain

While the decision was unequivocally
against such restriction, the question
raised deserves consideration, for the
college as az institution has rights. as
well as this teachers within Its gates.
The minister in his pulpit has a legal
right to free speech; but when his
opinions misrepresent the principles Of
his sect, he has other rights than his
OWN to consider. When a professors

against the university Of which he Is q

The particular plough used in South
Africa was designed by Colonel
Templer, of the Royal Engineers, and
differs only in trifing details from
that with which the American wheat
grower breaks up the surface of the
fertile prairie. The superiority of
this means of digging trenches is so
manifest that n wonders why it was
never thought Of before. A three
wheeled TRACTION engine, such as is
employed in hauling heavy wagons
from town TO town or in operating
itinerans threshing machines, drags
the steam plough Of Colonel Templer
through the soil. Two OF the wheels
are large and broad, and the third,
ont in front, carries only . small part
of the load, and is used mainly for
steering purposes.
There is nothing especially new in

generic name of the plant, the ''gof.

lost its distinctiveness. There are
golden chrysanthemums still, it is

all these other colors not less brilliant

Modern War Mechanism,
Searehliahts, Steam Ploughs and
HelioGraphs in South Africa

X
As might be expected, the English
are using in the South African war the
most modern military appliances that
can be had. They are thoroughly up
to date in the matter of guns and ann
munition, and even the surgeons are
using new means OF developing x
rays. The War Office has negotiated
with Marconi's business representa-
tlves for wireless telegraphic outfits,
and by this time the apparatus ought
to be in service. Moreover, O num-
Der Of other appliances that are not
necessarily instruments of war have
been put TO use in the contest with
the Beers.
One Of the most striking instances
Of this kind is the employment of O
steam plough for digging trenches.
The ploughshare and pruning hook
are particularly typical of the arts and
spirit of peace. but now, for the first
time in history, the former implement
has become a military weapon. The
steam plough is not in itself any
novelty. 1t has been used for years
on O large scale in the western parts
of the United States, where the great
wheat and corn crops of the country
are raised. It is also well known in
other parts of the world where agricul-
