Many improvements have been intro

it in outward appearance. The original

PUZZLES PHOTOGRAPHERS.
The Old Question Whether One Part
of Wagon Wheel Moves
Faster Than Another.

Photographers in the west, both
professional and amateur, are en-
gagged in wordy controversy as to
whether or not one part of wheel
moves faster than another. II is
claimed-and large number of pho
tographs are exhibited to prove it
that when the wheel of a rapidly
moving wagon is photographed the
top of the wheel never appears as
clear as the bottom. The same is
true of wheel rolled along the
ground in front of the camera.
In many cases the developed picture
does not show any spokes above the
center, says the New York Herald,

Greek letter society, provided of course
that he is fortunate enough to belong
to one.
All sorts of jubilee and various kinds
of mischief are in order just now in
college towns, for the college fraterni-
ties seldom miss an opportunity to let
the rest of the community know of
their existence. The break up of the
college year is, of course, a good time
to celebrate. H.:
This is the time of year at most col
leges when undergraduate are hon
ored by election to the fraternities.
Some of these admit members from all
classes. while the membership of 9th
ers is restricted to men in the various
years. At the larger universities, nota-
bly, at Harvard and Yale, membership
in the senior "frats" is an honor eager
ly desired by the juniors, and it is an
anxious waiting time for the members
of the second class. The number of
members in the senior societies is in
most cases very limited, and the man
who is elected must be indeed promi-
nent and popular in college life.
Some of the customs connected with
the election to senior society are very
curious and date back to remote pc
riod in American history. At Yale, for
example, the active members of the
three senior fraternities, Skull and
Bones, Scroll and Key and VOLTS
Head, signify the election of their sue
cessors by slapping them on the shoul-

while all those below the center are
clear. On the other hand, it is said
to be absurd to pretend that the top
of the wheel can go faster than the
bottom.
The mystery has been explained in
this way-as matter of fact, the
top of the wheel does actually move
faster than the bottom, that is, in re-
lation to the ground. The bottom
half of the wheel has only vertical
motion, while the top has rapid,
horizontal motion, much faster than
the hub or the wagon. With time
exposure, therefore, the bottom
spokes show clear, while those above
the center are blurred.

A STORY OF BABYLON.
Reginald De Iloven's Wife Has Just
Published n Mystical Romance.


"By the Waters of Babylon is the
title of strange, mystical, historical
romance that has just been published
by Mrs. Reginald De Koven, the wife
of the popular composer of light operas.
In some respects the novel promises to
be the literary sensation of the season,
for it is entirely different from any of
the books that have preceded it in pub
lie favor.
According to Mrs. De Koven, by the
Waters of Babylon has to do with the
captive Jews and is a historical and
archaeological stury of a period never
before used in romance. Its plot is
made up of the historical material

Fine Entertainments by French Glass
at st. Mary's.

The assembly hall of St Mary's
academy was crowded to the doors last
evening to witness the annual enter

of that institution. The entertainment
given this year consisted of comic
Operetta, The Mil of the Birds Which
was rendered in French.
The story upon which the opera IS
founded is that in 1908. during 2. the reign
of Napoleon, the Countess of HermOntal
was forced to flee from France She
had a baby daughter taken with con-
forced to leave her with the wife of a
miller who had a daughter of the same
age The two grew up as sisters The
countess returned TO claim her daughter
on the, day Of the feast of the aowers;
she was unable to tell which of the two
girls was her daughter and the good
people Of the mill would not enlfghten
her as they were much attached TO the
girl and were anxious to keep hen Here
little Pierre, the. drummer. boy. came in,
secured q letter from the Cure of the
village that solved the nnyst terry and all
went as merry as a wedding bell The
play opened with a May pole dance
that was very pretty. and there were
two tabIeuxs THE Reunion and THE
Garden of the Angels that called out
hearty applause from the large audience.
The music included a number of
songs appropriate. to the play in add
ton TO the opera ITSELF anc IN ali THESE
numbers the pupils acquitted them
selves we'll The evening closed with d
chorus by the French classes, and
