ent time, and if he was Englishy'before
he left Cambridge Harvard students
expecting him to be still more so on his
return.
Concerning Professor Wendell, it
was said before his departure for Eng
land that, as regarded his clothes,
1.-THE atmosphere of London was so well
suggested there,
You'd think you were in Rotton Row, in
stead of Harvard Square.
His dislike of anything not English
was also so marked that he said even to
have disapproved of ping pong, be-
cause he could put no English on the
ball. However this may be, certain it
is that Professor Wendell and many,
another of the Crimson faculty SAVIOR
strongly of other customs than our own,
and that, thanks to them, Harvard is
becoming more and more like her sis
ter universities across the sea.
About the only custom which Har-
ward has not copied from the English
universities is the custom of drinking
beer at the eating tables, although it
must not be understood by this that
beer is entirely disapproved in Cam
bridge town. A story is told in this
connection which illustrates the marked
difference between the English and
American customs, and shows, inciden-
tally, that oldtime journalists at Har-
ward were not wanting as far as imagi-
nation was concerned.
"A certain young nobleman-a grad
uate of Oxford University-was visit
ing Cambridge, and college newspa-
per correspondent, desperately hard up
for ready cash, determined to fake an
interview with him. During the course
of the day the nobleman had visited
Memorial Hall, and from the balcony
had watched the thousand or more
students eating in the big eating room
below him. 1t occurred to the CORE
spondent that the nobleman might be
surprised that beer was lacking on the
tables, so he wrote a long, exciting in
terview. beginning with What! No
beer.' which he said had broken from
the royal visitors lips when he first saw
the unusual sight of dry tables in the
hall below him.
THE newspaper, of course, made the
most of the story, and it was the sub
ject of editorial remarks for some time
throughout the country.
About a week after the nobleman
met friend of his who, it seems, had
escorted the royal visitor about Cam
bridge. He was asked where in thun-
der he got that interview When he
replied that he had faxed it his
Questioner was thunderstruck Why
he said, the first words that
uttered when he entered Memorial Hall
were, What! No beer!" and when he
read them in the newspaper the next
morning he was immensely pleased.
He said it was one of the most wonder
full things he had ever heard of, for he
couldn't remember any one being near
him when the exclamation was made.
He thought it was only a good example
of the enterprise of American news
papers, and exclaimed over and over
again during his visit, What a Won
derful country this isl"

FRANCES AFRICAN FORTRESS.
Great Work Accomplished at Bizerta
in the Last Few Years.
New York SUM-

The recent sensational speeches of
nj. Camille Pelletan, French minister of
marine, have called attention to the re-
markable work accomplished by
France in establishing a fortress and
naval base at Bizerta, Tunis, in the last
few years.
Twenty years ago, the existing har-
Dor accommodated vessels of only the
smallest size and gave them no protec-
ton against storms. The French have
cut canal through the sand between
the sea and the lake of Bizerta and
thereby supplied a new harbor.
The canal is wide enough and deep
enough TO accommodate the largest
Warships. The lake is nearly 40 miles
In circumference and on it all the ma
vies of the world could float in safety.
At the southern end of the lake a
new city has been built since 1898. 1t
has already 5000 inhabitants and con-
talns navy yard capable of repairing
battleships of the largest size.
A number of forts and Notifications
have been built about Bizerta and it's
defenses are still being improved. 1t
is proposed to make it as nearly i'm
pregnable as possible.
Even in its present state it is thought
that Bizerta would be factor of the
highest Importance in a struggle for
the control of the western end of the
Mediterranean.

PLAY BILLIARDS, THEY SAY.
Physicians Sorry That the Game Is De
Ginning in Favor in France.
New York SUM

Somebody has discovered that people
in France are not playing billiards so
much as they did formerly. over this
announcement has arisen Il lamcnta-
ton.
Physicians have joined in it as well
as lay admirers of the game. They de-
clare that it's disappearance would be
misfortune from a sanitary point, of
view.
The game, they say, gives just the
exercise they need to q great number
CT people who without it would take no
exercise at all. While involving no Sc
we're physical exertion, it keeps the
muscles in shape. stimulates the cir
culation, helps the digestion. and re-
quires just enough mental effort to
give the nervous system rest from
the ordinary worries of life. In proof
Of all of which they cite the good
spirits usually exhibited about bill
lard table.
For elderly people, for the stout who
cannot take much exercise, billiards is
pronounced an excellent tonic. So the
friends of the game are preaching re-
vival of its popularity.
