acknowledgment of a gift by Watc
Mama Datoh Baqui, one OF the native

headed and engraved, at an expense OF
about $50, and forwarded it to the

Appropriation.
Des Moines, Nov. THE Iowa State
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts will ask of the coming legisla-
ture an appropriation of S390,000, to
be distributed as follows:
Annual support fund ....... 100000
Support fund for experimental
station ............. 25,OOO.0O
Central building and heating
plant ............ ....... .29o,Ouo'OO
Experiment station barn 80. 100000
Pure bred stock Sc. ........... 100000
Total ...... ............$3 $500, 100000
President Beardshear and the trus-
tees explain in their biennial report
that the bulk of the appropriation
asked for is to cover damage by fires
which have visited the institution dur
ing the past two years. The loss by
fire during the period was over $780,
600, but it will take S305,O00, it is es-
timated, to replace the damage done.
1t is stated that during the past two
years the institution has been greatly
hampered by lack of support funds.
Of the additional support fund grant
ed by the last legislature, over $751;
900 has been loaned at per cent, so
that the increase in the support fund
is estimated at really less than
$4,000. 1t is also stated that the
$290,000 asked for to complete the new
central building is really not so much
as should be appropriated for this
purpose.
1t is pointed out that in the work
of the experiment station an addi-
tional support fund is especially nee
essary. OF the $4,000 asked for this
work $500 is said to be needed an
nually for feeding and breeding pur-
poses; $7,40o annually for the inves-
tigation of field crops, physics and
farm mechanics; $4,000 annually for
the Investigations pertaining to plant
breeding; $1,000 annually for the
dairy experiments; and So, 500 for pur-
suing Investigations in veterinary
science.

Legend of q Spring

swimming about in Il large marble
lined tank in a small church Just out
side Constantinople are to be seen a
number of fishes, Drown on one side
and white on the other. These. it is
said, are the descendants of the ones
that gave the name "BalukH" (place
of fishes) to the church. The legend
runs as follows; At the time of the
invasion of COnstantinople by the
Turks a monk was cooking Sish near
a spring of water, where the little
church now stands, when messen-
ger rode up in haste, announcing:
The city is taken." Discrediting the
story, the monk declared he would
sooner believe that the half cooked
fish before him would jump back into
the water. AS he spoke the fish, so
the story goes, did actually leap from
the pan into the spring. Ever since
that time the waters have been re-
garded as curative, and once every
year pilgrimages are made to it by
sufferers from various ailments.-N.

CARIBOU SWIFT OF FOOT.
One OF the Animals in Maine Runs n
Greyhound Off His Feet
in n Race,

A man lately returned from the
Maine woods Jays that caribou can
run faster than any other animal on
legs. He says:
II have friend who owns a grey
hound, and he always maintained
that no animal could outrun the dog
at least, he thought so until lately,
when he stood by and saw the fleet
dog run off his feet by herd of
much of a hurry either.
"One day this friend Of mine was
Dragging about the dog to an old
woods guide, when the latter said he
could find an animal that would leave
the hound so far behind that he
would think he was anchored. This
touched my friend in a sensitive spot.
and wager OF ten dollars was made
on race between the hound and the
first caribou we came acrcss.
Finally the guide succeeded in get
ting the dog after some caribou.
herd of four, found standing like so
many statues on the ice in the mid
Penobscot west branch region. You
know caribou trots instead of run
ming like most wild animals. There
had been good fall of snow. light
rain which formed a thick crust. and
then about three inches more of
snow. 1t was the finest kind of sur
face for running. and when the grey
hound was turned loose his owner
confidently expected that he would
play tag with those caribou.
"The dog went after them like
wild locomotive, and the caribou
started. At first they didn't appear
to be going very fast, but as the
hound drew up on them they let out
link. The hound was running his
prettiest. and before the caribou had
time to think he was right up on
them.
Then they put on steam and it was
sight to see them go. Why. when
away from that dog as though he
had been anchored. and by the time
they had reached the end of the
pond the hound wasn't half way
across.
when the dog came back he was
sadder and wiser and his master
looked dazed. To be sure. a grey
hound is fast, but when you come to
stack greyhounds or any other kind
of hounds against caribou you are
in too fast a game-sure."
