American and English Universities.

Our English contemporary, Nature,
in a recent article makes a statistical
comparison of the provision for uni
versity education in Great Britain and
the United States, in which some truly
re ma rkahle results are shown. 1t seems
that in the United Kingdom, with
population of 100000. there are 25, 800
university or university college stu
dents, or, say, five to each 10000 inhab-
itants, while in the United States, with
&c, 900 900 inhabitants, there are 81, 100
students, or II. 16 for each 900 inhab
itantS. After commenting on the inn
portant bearing which these facts must
have upon the struggle for Industrial
supremacy. our contemporary proceeds
to point out that the amount donated
by private individuals for higher educa-
ton in the period from 1871 to 1901 was
eight tines greater in the United States
than that given for similar purposes in
Great Britain; while, to say nothing of
the income from state land grants, the
amount provided by the state for high
or education in the United States is six
times as much as the government grants
in Great Britain.
In the other country there are but
thirteen universities and twenty univer-
sity colleges. whereas in the United
States there are 40 colleges with an
endowment of over 100000, and forty
nine of these have endowments of over
$500. OO0 while three of them have an
endowment of over $10.000.000. The total
number of professors and instructors in
universities and colleges included in the
list of the United States commission of
education is II 900, whereas the number
of day students in the universities and
university colleges of Great Britain IS
only about 20 500, so that there are al
most as many university teachers in
the United States as there are universe
ty students in Great Britain.
Even in Germany. of whose education
al advantages we have lately heard so
much. there are only 7S7 university stu
dents to each 10000 inha bitants, as COM
pared with 1916 in the United States

ON THEKEARsARGE'S DECK
Striking Scene on the Occasion of
Wales Visit

Portsmouth, July 13.-The deck of the
Kearsarge presented a striking scene
at the time of the Prince of Wales
visit with the men, in white uniforms
and with arms linked lining the tur-
rests, bridges and rails. The British
union jack was flying at the main mast
and the whole ship was dressed in rain
bow fashion. Crossing a red draped
gangway the prince, who was accom-
panied by Ambassador Choate, the Earl
of Selborne, first lord of the admiralty,
and others, passed through the line of
sailors.
With Admiral Cotton and Captain
Hemphill standing with their hands at
the chapeaus, the drums and bugles
sounding four fiourishes and in re-
Spouse to signal from the flagship, all
the American vessels hoisted the royal
standard at the main and fired sa-
lutte of twenty-one guns. AS the first
gun doomed, all the ships in the har-
Dor, including the royal yachts, the
Victory and the chanel fleet, lying off
Spithead, dressed ship.
After saluting Admiral Cotton and
Captain Hemphill. the Prince of Wales
shook hands with them. walked aft,
irving on the quarterback the prince
saluted the other guests and proceeded
below to the quarters of the admiral
and captain, which for the occasion
were thrown together, the tables being
tastefully decorated with flowers. The
prince sat on Admiral Cottou's right. The
other guests at the same table were
Lord Selborne. Ambassador Choate, Adj
miral Lord Kerr, Field Marshal Lord
Roberts, Admiral Sir Charles Hotham,
Captain Sir Archibald Milne, Vice Ad-
miral Beresford, Rear Admiral Hender-
son, Captain Lambton, Rear Admiral
Sir Edward Chichester Henry White,
secretary of the United States embassy,
]. r. Carter. second secretary of the
United States embassy, Captain Stock
ton. the United States naval attache.
and other American and British officers.
There were no speeches after the break
fast, the company merely rising and
toasting the king and the president, the
band in the meantime playing national
airs.
On the Prince of Wales expressing a
desire to inspect the ship, Captain
Hemphill escorted him along the gun
low. The prince apparently had al
ready some knowledge of the Kear-
sarge, as he was familiar with her
characteristics and made a remark
about her especially excellent ventila-
ton. AT the conclusion of the inspec-
ton, the prince complimented Captain
Hemphill on, the splendid condition of
the battleship.
The departure of the Prince of Wales
was marked by the same ceremony as
companied by Admiral Cotton, saluted
and shook hands with the admiral and
the officers of the Kearsarge and the
captains of the other American ships.
Lieutenant William V. Pratt of the
Kearsarge shouted, Three cheers for
his royal highness, the Prince of Wales. -
The same cry arose simultaneously on
the other American ships and the crews
of the four vessels heartily hurrahed,
the prince, meanwhile standing in the
center of a group of officers with his
hand at salute.

BEAUCHAMP IN JAIL.
Sheriff Lucas Captured Man Charged
With Embezzling $917.

Sheriff Lucas arrived home early Sun
day morning from La Junta. He was
accompanied by John Beauchamp, who
is charged with the embezzlement of 1917
from the Parkhurst-Davis wholesale
grocery company last December.
Beauchamp is said to have collected
the amount and then forgotten to turn
it in to the firm, preferring to seek a
change of scenery. Sheriff Lucas locat-
ed Beauchamp several days ago but
as the intended victim was not under
arrest, took particular pains to cover up
his tracks in going west so that his in
tentions might not beat him to the
quarry. He secured a requisition last
Thursday and started Friday night for
the west. Beauchamp was found in the
employ of a grocery firm in La Junta-
