GOWNS OF MANY COLLEGES.
How Degrees of Scholarship of Wear
ers May Be Known

From the New York Times.
At most college functions, and particular
ly so during commencement festivities, the
academic cap and gown are In constant
evidence Undergraduates and newly fedg-
ed bachelors proud of their right to the
distinctive garb, visiting alumni glad thus
to link arms once again with a vanished
past, the august faculty body, and those
of the official guests whose scholastic at
tainments entitle them to the privilege, all
don the flowing robe and top it with the
quaint and tasseled mortarboard..
Some persons may call this peculiar at
tire a piece of antiquated fiummery, but
even they admit that the somber robes, re-
lieved here and there by the brilliance or
the hood Innings and of the many hued vel
vet facingS, lend beauty as well as dignity
to the assemblage gathered upon the plat
form.
The casual glance notes little If any diff
ference in the appearance of the various
gowns, but the initiated eye can tell IN
stantly not only the exact degree OF
scholarship attained by the wearer, put
also the faculty of learning that awarded
1t and the university where 1t was Cd
tanned. There are other distinguishing
points, but the main ones may be summed
up as follows:
Matriculation at the college entities the
student to wear gown and mortarDoaro
or black wooden material, uSually serge.
When he wins his bachelors degree ne
may attach hood three feet long to his
gown made Of the same wooden stun and
lined with the colors of his alma mater
When the bachelor attains the masters
degree or the doctorate he Is entitled to
wear a silken gown and hood the latter
four feet long. The doctorate entities him
also to wear panel, outlined with his COL
lege colors, beneath his hood, and to ex-
| change the black tassel on his mortar
board for one of gold.
Even the sleeve changes with the value
of the degree. The open pointed sleeve OF
the bachelors gown is closed for the mas
ter, and the doctor wears a round one
| trimmed with bars of velvet The doctors
degree being the highest in, the gift of
university, his attire is the most distin-
guished in appearance. He may, II he
choose, adorn his gown with velvet fac
ings, black, or of the color that Indicates
the special faculty which recommended
him for the degree. White stands for the
school of arts and letters; blue for phil
osophy; scarlet for theology: purple for
law; yellow for science. and green for
medicine. -ls,sFt
Understanding these distinctions the Wis
itor~ at a college function, watching the
long procession of notables file to their
places upon the platform, can recognize at
a glance the degree attained by each, the
faculty that recommended him for 1t. and
the university that conferred 1t. Occasion
ally he may err in the last point, for q
man officially connected with a college
courteously displays it's colors in his hood
instead of those of his own alma mater.

ONE DOG TO EACH LEPER.
Board of Health Sets Limit on the
Island of Molokai.
Commercial Advertiser.

From the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser.
There are about 1000 persons perma-
nently resident at the leper settlement on
the Island of Molokai, and there is an aver
age CT about five live and lively dogs to
each person.
And those statements are explanatory Of
a number of things. 1t would be supposed,
in the first place. that there was some mys-
FERROUS affinity between dogs and leprosy
but this Is not the fact. The native, however.
has a great fondness for dogs-and dog
and because of that fondness the number
of canine pets at the settlement has in
creased to such an extent that they have
not only become great nuisance to those
persons on Molokai who are able to restrain
their affection for dogs within reasonable
limits. but have likewise become a menace
to the lepers themselves, in that their dogs
are literally eating them out of house and
home.
There is, in fact. a constantly increasing
insufficiency, actually felt, In the paiai
ration issued, while the dogs grow more
numerous at regularly recurring intervals
and more voracious day by day. The aver
age native will go hungry himself to feed
his dog. More, he will even let his friend
go hungry to feed his dog This is what
might be called an animal weakness, and
works no particular harm where the native
is healthy enough to follow his bent and eat
ment to his pet permanently. but the peo-
pie at the settlement are not inclined to do
that-at least, not enough inclined to do so
to keep down the surplus dogs and so the
board of health has been compelled to take
a hand in the matter. And this has become
a condition requiring action the more I'M
peratively because the dogs not content
with eating up the paiai of their owners
nave lately taken to running in the hills
and pulling down the calves of the herds
there and eating them also thus cutting
INTO the meat ration, as well as the ration
of paiai
1t was In view of this condition that a
petition was sent by the lepers to the board
OF health praying to have the number
OF dogs in the settlement limited which
petition resulted in the passage by the
BOARD or a new regulation limiting the
canine possessions of each leper to one dog
Inc board was not. however inclined To he

owners until the list OF July to get rid of

QUEER DWELLING PLACES.
Towns in Trees and Cities in Caves and
Craters.
From Tit-Bits.

Iom llt-bltS
1t is a mistake to suppose that the whole
of the 1.500,00O,OO0 of the earth's inhabi-
tants live upon the surface of the world.
They do not. Some of them dwell beneath
it, The people Of Tupuselel have no need
to travel far when they want to take a
salt water bath. The town is built on piles,
which have been driven into a submerged
coral reef situated far out in the Torres
straits to the south of New Guinea. Oppo-
site this extraordinary settlement, on the
mainland. is another village that is perched
high in the air among the. gigantic palm
trees with which the coast is fringed. The
object Of both communities in choosing
these curious sites for their dwellings is
Identical. They desire to assure them
selves against being surprised by their nu-
merous enemies, and especially they seek
safety from the prowling Dyak head hunt
erS.
People afflicted with diseases not infre-
quently develop strange fads as regards
the choice of their abiding places. Not
long since. for instance, a number Of con-
sumptiVes agreed together to dwell within
the dismal depths OF the mammoth cave,
Kentucky. In pursuance of this extraordi-
nary project. building materials were act
ually carried into the cave at considera BILE
trouble and expense and tiny subter-
ranean village sprang by degrees into exist
ence. When 1t was completed it was in
habited by thirteen families.
But. might have been foreseen. the
profound silence and eternal darkness of
the place exerted upon the unfortunate
inhabitants deleterious effect which far
outweighed any benefit derived from the
undoubtedly pure. dry air and equable
temperature. Some of the invalids died,
others gave up the experiment in disgust;
and the houses SO strangely and laborious-
ly built are now given over to tramps out
laws and other similar chance sojourners.
Better luck has attended the little colony
of people similarly afflicted, who. a few
years back, settled within the landlocked
crater bay which constitutes practically
the whole interior of the volcanic Island of
st. Paul. in the Indian ocean. Here they
are entirely protected against all wind, no
matter from what quarter of the compass
1T may chance to blow; while hot natural
baths at varying temperatures are always
available. The very ground too. is kept at
constantly equable heat by the latent
volcanic fires within. And, lastly, food of
all kinds is plentiful and varied, and in
cludes such curious and unusual delicacies
as sea elephants nns and tails, crayfish
and other crustacea in endless variety,
and the succulent ''Kerguelen cabbage"
No wonder that many of those who have
been cured have preferred settling on the
island to returning to their homes.

THE SIGN OF THE FISH.
Why It Was Used as Symbol by the
Early Christian Church.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The symbols upon early Christian monu-
ments of which so many have been discov-
cred this last century, are curious and in
teresting One of the most frequent Is that
of the fish. The figure of the fish is used
and also the Greek word for fish, says Dr.
A. w Patten. who has looked into the sub
ject Ramsay. in his excavations in Asia
Minor has found some very important In
scriptions in which the fish signs fire.
quent.
But why was it that the early Christians
used this sign? The reason will appear
when we remember that they found in the
letters of the Greek word for fish an acros-
tic on the name of the Savior. The word Is
"ichthus." Each letter of the word in the
original Greek begins one of the words in
the following phrase: Jesus Christ, Son
of God. the Savior"
So the word 'ichthus" came to stand for
a Christian, and It used a mark Of
Christianity. 1t was not only sculptured
on burial monuments, but came to be used
on various utensils. A great many terra
Gotta lamps have been found especially at
Spalato, which is found the impress of
the fish. Many of these 'ichthuS'' lamps
are found also at Rome. The word fish"
came to be used also to describe Chris
tian, and to call man a fish was equiva-
lent to calling him Christian.
In one of the old Christian frescoes in
dicating a baptism, a man Is represented
as pulling a fish out of the water. RAM
say tells us that II was customary in Asia
Minor in the second century for the Chris
tian to this symbolic language 1t was
hardly safe, then. for them to speak openly
of their faith in Christ. They were accus-
toned to wear rings with the fish sign as a
sgnet, much as we wear symbolic badges
today. One day two men met. neither
aware of the faith of the other. One, with
out saying a word. traced with his stick
the figure of fish in the sand The other
quickly burst out in assertion of his Chris
tian faith. for the fish symbol had declared
the others allegiance to Christ.
