Fifty casks of a special design and
the strongest possible construction"
says The Youths Companion, will
soon be sent to Boring sea by the Unit
ed States revenue marine service and
placed upon The highest hummocks of
the foe ice. 1t is hoped by tracing
their future course to test the direction
of the currents that cross the polar
regions. The casks are twenty-eight
inches long and sixteen inches in di-
ameter, pointed ut the ends and paint
ed black, so rs to be seen easily. In
side of each are directions printed in
several languages, asking the finder to
write to the nearest United States con-
sui, giving the latitude and longitude
in which the casl was found and the
date. Admiral Melville, who designed
the casks, believes that it will be posi-
bic IN this way to determine whether
the ice packs drift from the Arctic
westward or south and east to the At
lantic."

FROM THE ELEVENTH STORY.

Mr.. Harry Osborn, son Of Judge &.
F. Osborn of Darlington, is attract
ing attention as caricature artist
and humorous rhyme writer for
the city papers. The Milwaukee
Journal of last Saturday had the fol-
lowing over Mr.. Osborn's signature:
Once when was sitting
Inmy office, clipping
Some clever copy for my sheet
Some exchanges shipping,
For my paper fitting,
Thus filing up my columns neat,
Suddenly the dinging
OF the bell a-ringng
Seemed loud 70 jingle in my ear.
The door open swinging
Came the postman bringing
heap of papers me to cheer.
Through these was glancing.
When my eye just CHANGING
To fall upon an envelope.
/. with soul all dancing
With the hope enhancing
OF a check quick the thing did ope'.
But alas for gaining;
since twas containing
Some things from League" vex'd,
With n line explaining,
And wish maintaining
That would print 'em in my next
So sat purusing;
Twas at first amusing
To try make out what was it for.
Soon it grew confusing,
II was just abusing
The conduct of the Governor.
1t related glowing
Tales of discord growing.
On no principles insisted.
The thought from it flowing
Left me not quite knowing
just wherefore this League existed
With strong words Astounding
1t was so confounding,
cried: For what does this League standn'
And no less astounding
From the page rebounding
The answer: "On Bob's neck to land"
And since not observing
Who had been comforting
This warm bunch OF fractional lore,
!. my work deferring,
TO the seal referring.
Read: From the League. Eleventh Floor"

by the Quintette, given in their usual
pleasing manner, and a very interest
ing chemical experiment by Professor
Bergen made up the program.
The Freshman class have just fin
ished reading Lars poem of
Norway, written by Bayard Taylor.
The story is such simple one, and
told in such straightforward style,
that it is called a pastoral-a term
more "grassy, cloverly and home like
than 'Idyl,'" as the author expresses
himself to his publisher. Lars con-
tains mauy ine pictorial descriptions
and character sketches, as we'll as
some beautiful quotations. The auth
or has displayed great tact in sus-
tanning the interest to the close, by
mingling with these descriptions a
simple Norwegian love story. The
class has enjoyed reading this poem
very much and Miss Jones has made it
so interesting that the majority OF the
class say it is too short, but we must
think that "All's well that ends we'll. !"
Many beautiful quotatations Will be
long remembered, but none longer
than the closing lines, which every
Freshman might make his motto
Each separate star
Seems nothing, but myriad
scattered stars
Break up the night, and make
ii beautiful"
Problems directly connected with
the practical application of electricity
are interesting the Physics class this
week.
We didn't have any school notes
last week. We all need rest occas-
ionally.
The work in Physiology of late has
been very interesting and instructive.
Some time ago the class had an OPP
portunity to examine the esophagus,
stomach and liver of pig, and eX-
animation was all the more interest
ing, on account of the previous work
in our text books. la the near future
the class hopes to make some more
examinations and we all look forward
with pleasure to the event. The class
expects that it may yet produce a
second Dr. Koch.

White Lies.

One would hardly dare to ask a
friend to dine In SO many words, says
n writer in The Spectator If it were
not permissible for him to make the
false reply that be was sorry he was
engaged and could not come.
Ordinary social intercourse, instead
of becoming more direct, would have
to be carried on by an elaborate sys-
TEN of hints; otherwise society would
become metaphorically speaking, a
bear garden in which sensitive persons
would be battered to death. 1t would
be impossible to get used to being told
II do not like you, and your friends
bore me-" or II could come quite east
~, but do not care to Identify myself
with the very second rate people
among whom you live"
Neither could we improve matters by
reversing the ordinary procedure and
allowing the guests to invite them
selves.
The rebuff of being refused hospltali-
t. would he almost unbearabie.

Readsboro Gold Fever Rising.

The gold craze in Readsboro is said
to show no signs of abating but rather
to be increasing. There are now there,
three companies that have leases of
large tracts of Land for mining pur-
poses. The one hotel in the village Is
not large enough to accommodate the
guests that visit it and private houses
are frequently called upon to entertain
persons. Parties that have boon secur-
ing leases of land in Readsboro, Whit
ingham and Stamford, have within a
week turned over to the Readsboro
Mining company the papers that Sc
cure to it the mining rights on 5000
acres of land in those towns. The
Brown Mining company already has its
buildings up, and is putting in its
machinery. 1t is expected that the
plant will be in running order before
the end of the month. During the
past week, the Chase Mining company,
which is incorporated in Troy, n. T.,
completed cleanup of about three
quarters of ton Of ore. The ore
showed gold and silver at the rate of
so per ton, and there were also traces
of platinum. A 50-ton reducing plant
has now been ordered and is to be in
position for work in GO days.
