Missouri University Possesses Some Of
Best Examples Extant.

Best Examples EStant.
Columbia, No: A large box of casts
arrived Saturday from Rome to the
art department of Missouri Univers-
ity. They consist of some of the fin
est examples Of Greek art extant, and
will make a valuable addition to the
university art museum, which is now
one of the best in the West.
One Of the pieces is a colossal head
of Ludovlci's Hera, remarkable for its
size and beauty, It being more than
four feet high. A bust of the EN-
peror Augustus, bronze bust of Sen
eca, the bust of a Roman Empress and
a bust of the Greek poetess Sappho are
among the collection.
Doctor Pockard, director Of art at
the university, spent last year in
Greece and Rome selecting specimens
for the Missouri museum. He visited
all the art collections of the Old
World and placed orders for a large
number of casts in Rome. Berlin and
Paris. The casts have been greatly
delayed and have reached Columbia in
piecemeal. The ones that have just ar
rived have been on the road seven or
eight months and a number of other
consignments were shipped last sum-
mer.
The art school of the university is
making rapid progress, and the added
facilities will place it in the front rank
with that Of other State universities.
There is some talk of class from the
university travelling in Europe next
summer studying from the worlds ia
nous collections.

FREEZING CAVERNS.
subterrancan Caves That Are Lined
With CrystnIIinc Ice.

There are deep cavities and tunneled
recesses in the earth far away from
sunlight and held in the tight embrace
of rocky strata where secret boards of
glittering ice find habitation all the
year round. Yet down in these queer
places the ice is as pure and crystalline
as any that nature maintains in the
open air; moreover, it occurs on Il truly
grand and massive scale.
Imagine thick underground ice walls
and floors and craftily fissured col
umns beautiful in shape and color
streaming from roof to floor of lofty
rock chambers. And under the slow
drip, drip, drip of percolating water
this same ice learns to fashion itself
into cave adornments = frozen water
drops, curling slopes, stalactites and
stalagnites of fantastic shape and
rainbow hues.
Subterranean cold waves, or "gla-
ciers," as they are frequently called,
crop up in some 300 scattered localities
in Europe, Asia and America, but all,
with rare exceptions, whether true ice
caverns or grottoes and deep hollows,
are confined to the north temperate re-
gions of these continents-that is, to
places where there is sufficiently low
temperature at some portion of the
year TO reach freezing point and render
snowfall possible. - Pearson's Maga-

CLASH OF AUTHORITY.
Secretary Burrow and House
Name Engrossing Clerks.

Shall OF shall not the house of rep
resentatives name the engrossing clerks
in the office of the secretary of state?
That is a question which has been en-
crossing" some of the interested par
ties.
The law requires that the secretary
of state shall have the bills passed by
the legislature engrossed, and it says
that he may employ such help as ne
may require to do the work. but the
secretary is personally responsible IN
der his official bond for the safety of
the bills. But the clerks are paid out
of the legislative appropriation.
Accordingly Secretary of State Bur
row employed four clerks to look after
the engrossing, some of them persons
who had had experience in that work.
Then the house committee appointed
eight engrossing clerks, and sent them
down to the office of the secretary of
state for duty Secretary Burrow
thought a mistake had been made and
sent clerk back to find out what was
the matter. It was found out that there
had been q collision, but thus far the
appointees of the secretary of state are
doing the work

pugilist James J. Corbett holds this view,

stantiy in dread that his superiors may
hear that such a proposition has been

is a modest chap and doesn't want people
to think he is a scrapper.
Physically he has been pronounced an
almost perfect type Of manhood He is
as straight as an arrow and stands feet
[ inch in his stockings. He IS of the same
build as Jim Corbett was when he wrest7d
the championship from John L. Sullivan.
He is only % years old.
COrbett was the first man to discover the
cops cIeverness. He boxed with him and
pronounced him a wonder both with his
hands and in leg work. Since their first
meeting, over a year ago, they have boxed
