II is the desire of the faculty to
bring athletics prominently forward
this year. Tennis courts, bowling al
Ieys. ETC.. will be popular sports this
fall. A golf club is being organized.
The golf club could be made popular
feature, especially if the citizens and
visitors We're allowed to join. This
would bring about sOciability be-
tween the townspeople and the stu
dents and the professors, which is
greatly to be desired. There is no
doubt but that many would be glad
TO take advantage of the links on the
University grounds and would contrl-
butte toward keeping them in excellent
condition.

 It is displeasing combination but one whose aims possess quadruple qualities-may be likened to a game of cards-high, low. jack and the game 1 The mission of boy and snake is high | the conservation of the public health the calling low-the catching of rats, the boys name is Jack--and the game? Well, it is both rodents and bounty The manner in which the boy through the snakes exertions, comes inl possession of rat and bounty Is unique.
 The boy, with the reptile on his arm
 and gunnysack in hand, enters the court of a residence, and usually, after
 much palaver in corrupt language.

 But the finding by Jack of one hole
 while it pleases, doesn't satisfy his ambition-he wants to find two-one of entrance, the other of egress. When he has located to his satisfaction the two holes he uncols the repulsive creature from his arm and planting both feet upon it brings forth from hidden recess of trousers a small net, the meshes of which are very fine. While the serpent wriggles and darts forth from muzzle it's forked tongue, Jack, by crafty dexterity, places the net work over the reptiles | head and securely fastens it with | sinew
 This done, the snake resumes it's arm | hold and is conveyed to one of the holes | The boy souats and forces the head of | the crea ture into the hole The snake by some unknown force--instinct or else-is certainly apprised of | what it's master wants, for it's body | slowly enters the hole and disappears.

THE GARDEN IN LITERATURE.

| From Eden Downward to Elizabeth and Charles Dudley Warner. Some famous gardens" was the sub 1 ject of a lecture delivered by Miss Helena T. Goessman of Amherst before the Massachusetts Horticultural society
 recently Miss Goessman spoke in part as follows:
 Abraham Cowley, in the 17th century,
 said: God the first garden made, and
 the first city Cain" and further in
 work on "Agriculture' published be-
 tween 1918 and 1867, the same author
 and gardener says: 'The three first
 men in the world were a gardener, a
 plowman and srazier; and if any man
 object that the second of these was
 murtherer, I desire that he would con-
 slider that as soon as he was so he quit
 ted our profession and turned builder"
 If the active 17th century offers us
 such sentiments in the art of garden ing, the centuries preceding bear testi
 mony to the fact that the art which
 Walter Scott considered allied so close ly to the souls best instincts, and of which he said, Nothing is more com pletely the child of art than garden" was active, vital and of interest to those who were making a worlds po- litcal, religious and literary history Eden was the beginning of worlds great biography. Solomon in his song chants: "A garden inclosed is my sis ter my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed Awake o north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my | garden that the spices thereof may ! flow out Let my beloved come into | his garden and eat his pleasant fruits |
 Homer speaks in myriad praises of | the perfect garden in his masterpiece, l the Odyssey. Plato in the aca ademy at 1 the foot of Mt. Pentelicus wrote and | spoke his praise of the garden, and his | "Phaedrus" and "Minos' bear witness to the student of classics how highly l he esteemed the influences of nature and the workers in it's development. | From his Paradise of Sards" Cyrus speaks in the pages of &enophon, in his Problems" carries on the refrain, and Phny the Elder and pliny the Younger add a eharnt to the pages of garden lore.

The initial production of "A Brace of
 was first given at the Strand theater,
 London, and scored an instantaneous
 success, the comedy and the actor re-
 ceiving the unanimous praise of the en-
 tire London press. The receipts were
 greater than the little theater in the
 old Strand had known for more than
 nine years, and the demand for seats
 so great that MT. Reeves Smith trans
 ferred "A Brace of Partridses" to a
 larger house. viz: '"The Garrick." in Charing Cross Road, where the play ran with great success until William Gillette began his London season. Charles Frohman engaged MT, Reeves Smith to open the Madison Square theater, New York, with "The Brace, 7" where it ran for considerable time, re- ceiving great praise from the New York press. Several of the original mem- bers of the London production will visit us with MT, Reeves Smith and be seen at the Hyperion next Saturday night. Sale of seats now open. Prices $150 $1, 75c.

Terrific Explosion of Gas In

The RESULT OF A DEFECTIVE FUSE
Force of the Concussion So Great
That Men We're Killed Outside
the Minc-SimiInr Cntastro-
plies at the Same Mine.


CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. April l.
At / 10 o'clock yesterday afternoon an
explosion of gas in the Nelson mine of
the Dayton Coal and Iron company at
Dayton, Tenn. ignited the dry coal
dust in the mine and caused a terrific
explosion. Twenty-Five men are known
to be dead. Ten bodies have been re-
covered, and twelve bodies are reported
to be yet in the mine.
Gas exists in the Nelson mine, and
the men are required to use safety
lamps 1t is the rule of the company
for the miners to place their fuses
ready to be lighted for blasts just be-
fore quitting work each day. and there
are worllmen known as ''firemen' who
90 through the mine after all the min
ers are out and set off these blasts The
miners quit work ut 80 o'clock yes
tcrday afternoon. 1t takes them about
| forty-five minutes to get out of the
mine.
The two "fircmen" who are supposed
to have caused the explosion are Lark
Hunter and John Harvey. They shot
the miners could get out of the mine.
1t is supposed that one of the fuses was
defective and resulted in what is
known as the 'blown blast" The flame
shooting out from the blasts ignted
the gas, which in turn ignited the ac-
emulation of dry coal dust in the
mine.
The explosion that followed was hor-
mouth of the mine and completely
wrecked the shed ut the mine entrance.
Three men were killed while standing
outside the mine and two seriously and
one fatally injured.
The force of the explosion literally
mangled and tore bodies to pieces.
The company says that there were
only seventyfve men at work in the
mine. Most of them, it is claimed.
were out Of the mine when the eXplO-
sion occurred.
This mine has been the scene of two
serious explosions in the past. In 1SS9
four men were killed and eight serious
ly injured by an explosion of gas. Lat
err. in 1880. an explosion of mine dust
occurred in which tWenty-eight lives
were lost.
In May, 1901. an explosion of a sim
| liar nature occurred in the Shalliday
mine. operated by the same company,
in which twentY-one lives were lost.
