At the beginning of the new fiscal
year the pneumatic tubes which have
been employed in the postal service OF
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
Boston went out of operation, and the
mail wagon has taken their place. This
looks like step backward. 1t is prob
ably only temporary. Congress seems
to have refused to continue the ap-
preparation solely on account of its
unwillingness to foster private
monopoly. Doubtless a pneumatic tube
service built and owned by the gov
eminent will yet be established and
maintained in all large cities, although
several ingenious rival contrivances
for doing the same work deserve con-
sideration before a final decision is
made.

According to a Vienna correspondent,
a fire recently broke out at Hermanns-

varian frontier. A Bavarian fire bril-

miles away, fastened to the rescue, but
the Austrian custom house authorities
refused to allow the fire engines to

Successful Planting OF Steelhead Salmon
by the Government.
An interesting experiment has been
under way for the past four years by
the United States fish commission at
the station at Duluth, Mimi. 1t has
now resulted in the successful plant
ing and acclimation in Lake Superior
of a new food fish. This is the famous
steelhead salmon of the Pacific, a salt
water fish exclusively heretofore. 1t
was believed that this fish would thrive
in the cold, fresh water of Lake Su-
perior, where so many other salmoni-
dae grow. Four years ago, therefore,
the commission sent here several thou
sand fry and planted them ON the
north shore of the lake, near Port Ar
thur and at Silver Islet, both points on
the Canadian side The following year
a larger number was planted or Isle
Royale, and since then the planting
has been kept up. Now from time to
time the catch of an occasional steel
head is reported, and from the size OF
those found it is estimated they are
growing about a pound a year in these
fresh waters 1t is also evident from
certain notifications of some of those
specimens caught, that they have been
propagating and increasing naturally
Fish of this kind five pounds in weight
have been caught the past few days
These salmon are now spawning, and
notices are being sent out, asking all
fishermen who find them in their nets
to throw them back in the water. in

that the fact that, Notwithstanding
their simplicity, the songs of the birds
cannot be initiated with musical in

fty of reproducing their peculiar
timbre. The notes of birds. while cor
responding with our musical scale.
also include vibrations occupying the
intervals between our notes. The dur
alton of birds songs is usually very
short, two or three seconds for thushes
and cheffnches, four or five seconds
for blackcaps, but from two to five
minutes for the lark. Monsieur Cou-
pin remarks that while one in every
ten species of European birds is tune
full, the proportion diminishes to only
one in a thousand among the gor-
geously clad birds of the tropics.

were for a long time carried on with
dignity and success by the seniors, Tut
the custom slowly deteriorated, until 1910
1t had become a piece of horseplay
Prof. Olmstead 10, afterward professor
of natural philosophy and astronomy,
relates that he was hauled before a court
of seniors as soon he reached Yale
and put through a course of instruction
which he ever afterward remembered
In his time the custom had become q
matter of amusement merely for the Sc
niors, and young Olmstead was sternIy
commanded to appear before a roomful
of seniors and take his medicine. The
room was so full Of tobacco smoke that
he could hardly breathe, and he was lee
tured so soundly against forming the Evil
habit of smoking and instructed on the.
paths he should follow to become q

did not enjoy the instruction particularly,
but his tormentors seemingly took great
pleasure in the performance This in
struction meeting in the middle of the
last century sometimes took the form
of a smoker-out, where the freshman
was ushered into room of smoking up
per class men and forced to make a
speech and smoke his first pipe at the
same time. The custom has now entirely
disappeared.
That the right to give orders to
freshman was regarded as something OF
great Importance to the upper classmen
is evident from a rule instituted by the
college in 1774 regarding it. Says the col
lege law: eff any freshman at COM
mencement shall fire the big guns or pro-
cure by money their firing by any other
person, or illuminate the yard either IRON
without or within the college buildings
or dig or scrape in the yard, he shall not
send freshmen for three months after the
end of the year" Such penalty doubt
less stopped the antics of the freshmen
referred to in the law.
Freshmen were the target of many 9TH
err regulations which seem nowadays gro
tesque.. No freshmen up to 1895 could
wear a hat in the college yard until af-
ter the May vacation nor unzil the end
of the year in the chapel or recitation
room No freshman could wear gown
or carry cane or appel" out of his
room without being fully dressed AMI
with his hat" and Wheneye~ a fresh
man spoke to a superior or was spoken
to by one, che shall keep his hat off
till he is hidden to put 1t on" Another
rule was: "a freshman shall not play
with any members of an upper class
without being asked. nor is he permitted
to use any acts of familiarity with them,
not even in study time. 4 junior was
permitted by college law TO cali up 4
