|T HAD IS2 GRADUATES
State University Sends out a
Good Class
.II5 FROM SCHOOL OF ARTS
School of Medicine has its
First Graduate
Many Alumni and Friends are at Law
renee for the Commencement
Exercises

Lawrence, June 5.-The senior class
OF Kansas university to-day received
diplomas and degrees according to the
various courses pursued. There were
1872 graduates from the seven depart
ments. One hundred and thirteen
graduated from the school of arts with
the degree A. b.
From the school OF law only nine
were graduated, receiving the degree
of LII. b. The reason for so small a
law class is that the course has been
increased TO three years and many who
would otherwise have graduated this
year will not complete the work until
next year. Thirteen engineers were
graduated with the degree b. Sc.
Twenty pharmacy students received
the degree Ph. D., after "a two years
course.
The school Of fine .arts furnished
seven graduates. Six with the degree
of Mus. b., and one the degree OF
b. y.
The first class to graduate from the
X. U. school of medicine received di.
plomos to-day. There were five in
the class. Three received the degree
b. 5. and two. A. b.
Fifteen post graduates received the
a. NJ. degree.
Although exercises did not com
mence until l0:30 the crowd began ar
irving long before that hour. The
friends and relatives of the seniors
were early on the scene and many

LOST MASTERPIECES.
other Famous Paintings BESIDES the
GninsbOrough work Have
Been stolen.

Gainsborough's Duchess of Devon
shire, which will probably find its last
resting place in the Metropolitan mu-
scum of art, in this city, is not the only
great painting which has been stolen,
says the New York Herald. A por-
trait of the countess of Derby disap-
peared shortly after it was painted by
Sir Joshua Reynolds. Rewards for its
return were vainly offered. The final
conclusion was that the then earl of
Derby, who had quarreled with his
wife at the time the picture was paint
ed, had destroyed it.
The celebrated "Field of the Cloth Of
Gold" was never stolen outright, but
an important part of it was extracted.
The theft was discovered when Crom-
well opened negotiations with a for
eign dealer for the sale of some of the
pictures of Charles |. On this partic-
ular picture being examined, one OF
the principal faces, that of Henry
Will, was missed. 1t had been deX-
terously cut out, and upon the res
toration the thief, nobleman Of note,
handed it back to Charles IL. in n per-
feet state of preservation. His object
had been to prevent the picture going
out of the country.
Lord Crewe has picture which was
lost and recovered in a remarkable
manner. An ancestor of his had a pic
ture painted of his son and daughter
in which the son posed as Cupid. Many
years afterward the father and son
quarreled, and the younger man, out
of revenge, caused the Cupid to be cut
out of the canvas. The piece knocked
| about unheard OF for over 100 years
a dealer who had seen an engraving OF
the original happened to get hold Of il
some few years ago, and he at once

SNOW AND WATER SUPPLY.
some Popular Notions Exploded by
Recent Experiments of the
Wentbcr Bureau.

Some very interesting conclusions
have been published by the experts
of the United States weather bureau,
who have for several years been
studying the effect of winter snow
fall on the water supply of the SUP
ceeding summer. The observations
have been confined to the arid regions
of the west more particularly ColD-
RADIO and Idaho, where the rivers and
streams derive their principal water
supply from the melting of the snow
on the mountains. The generally
prevalent belief that w tier Of
heavy snowfall is succeeded by
swollen streams in spring and SUM-
mer Is not necessarily correct. II ia
not the quantity of snow that falls
during the winter so much as the con-
tItion of the soil when winter sets in,
the quality of the snow and the time
when it falls that determine whether
| streams shall continue full late in the
season and furnish abundance OF WIZ
ter for irrigating canals.
An unusually heavy snowfall m

drought in late spring and summer

TIE GUM CHEWING COW.
owner Thought the Habit Had Worn
All Her Upper Teeth
or

A farmer in Knox county, Me-, has
been saying mean things about a Rock
land shipmaster, and Opinion reports
few. Quoth the farmer: "If l had
hired man that made such a piece of
work as he did about that COW of his,
I'd send him off!
"Why, he bought COW of a man
down my way; good critter-nothin'
the matter with her. But it seems the
captains wife, one day, thought the
milk tasted funny, and suggested that
p'r'aps she'd been eatin' spruce
boughs; said the milk tasted like
spruce And what does he do but go
out in the pasture to watch the COW,
to see what she did eat.
"The COW was lynn down, chewin'
her cud and he went along and run
his finger in her mouth to see what she
was eatin'. Then he was mad. He put
a rope on the COW, and started off with
her.
"'Where are you goin' with the
cow?' says a neighbor.
"'Goin' to take her back to the fel.
Ter that sold her to me. He's cheated
me, and / won't stand it,
"The man wanted to know what was
the matter, and he went on to tel
about it. She wasn't eatin' boughs,
he says, she was chewing gum; that's
what's the matter with the milk anC
makes it taste like spruce. And he
says, that amt all. She's so addicted
to the habit that she's worn all hel
teeth out. She amt got an upper
tooth in her head. Back she goes
/ quick!'
"Of course, the man told him that il
was all nonsense; that COWS never hat
no upper teeth. But he didn't believe
a word Of it, and went on and had {
tarnal row with the man that sold hin
| the COW. Guess he was never satisfied

attracted good deal of attent1sn
because of obstacles and diiIlrulies

Northwestern Steamship company,
which is to own and operate them,
declare that they will make regular
trips from the head of Lake Michigan
to the ports Of Europe during the
season of lake navigation, making a
single voyage in about IS days. Dur
ing the winter months, when the
great lakes and the Gulf of st. Law

be employed on the ocean. If this
programme is carried out--and there
seems good reason to believe that il
can be, in spite Of all difficulties--the
season of 1901 will be a memorable
one in Chicago's commercial history.

CANADIAN BISHOPS WALK.
The Good Man Travelled 500 Miles

Civilization.

Bishop Newman, Of the diocese of
Moosouee, 900 miles north OF Winni-
peg and directly west of Hudson bay,
arrived in Toronto a few days ago after
trip on snow shoes of 1900 miles,
which occupied upward of four months,
reports the New York Sun.
Leaving his see house, log struc-
ture 15X20 feet, shortly before Christ
mas, the bishop and his party of In
dians started for Toronto, pulling
their sleds after them. They Travelled
at the rate of 20 or 25 miles a day,
often with the thermometer register
ing from 20 to 40 degrees below zero,
and sleeping at night in great skin
bags, made with the hair turned inside.
Sometimes they woke in the morning
to find themselves buried under many
feet of light snow.
The bishop and his little party ar
rived here in splendid health. He had
received no news from home since the
close of navigation last fall and only
a few days ago on reaching the out
skirts of this province did he learn OF
the death of Queen Victoria.
Bishop Newman came to this city
to make an appeal on behalf of his dio-
cese and its work Situated in an al.
most barren country, peopled by few
thousand half-breeds, Esquimaux and
Indians, who subsist on hunting and
fishing his people are badly in need OF
assistance. In some years when the

NIAGARA FALLS POWER.
Lines Along Which 1t VIII lie Ex-
tended in Future Opera
tiOns.

A glance at the past development
of the Niagara Falls Power company
indicates the lines along which it is
likely to grow in the future, says
Cassier's Magazine. As the manufac-
turing arts advance, the element of
power becomes more and more inn
portant, and cheap power, therefore,
more demanded. Electro-chemstry is
a new art and one which has great
possibilities ahead OF it. The high
temperatures obtainable in electric
furnaces have opened up new field
to chemical synthesis, and it is likely
that many as yet undiscovered proc
esses, which will require large
amounts of electrical power for their
operation, will be brought to light.
The supply of power for electro
chemical purposes is especially de-
sirable in a water-power plant, where
large investment is necessary, for the
power used by these processes is
practically constant for "a hours of
the day, thus tending TO reduce load
"peaks" on the total station output.
The economical distance to which
power can be transmitted extends
every year as the general demand for
power increases and methods of
handling high voltages improve, and
the electric equipment of steam rail
way systems, witch is certain to
come in time, will open up a further
field for the long-distance transmits
sion of large amounts of power from
central plant.
