SUMMER SCHOOL GIVES
ITS THIRD LECTURE
Professor Gummere Talks OH Old
Ballads; OF Tradition at Mechan-
ics' Pavilion.

The third lecture of the summer
school series under the auspices of the
University of California was held at
Mechanics Pavilion last night. DR..
Francis Burton Gummere, professor
of English at Haverford College, lee
tured on The Popular Ballads of Ira
dition." The lecture was well attend
ed, but some objection was made by
the audience to its shortness. Many
thought the lectures were entirely too
short for the interesting subjects COW
cred and wished that either the lee
lures be heightened or more lectures
instituted.
The subject of Professor Gummere's
talk dealt chiefly with the old English
and Scotch ballads and their similar
ity TO those of modern times. In a
particular instance Was this poticed of
the work of Kipling whose style was
perfected by continuous reading of
the old ballads.
Besides holding a chair at Haver-
ford Professor Gummere is the author
OF book entitled Beginning of Po-
etry."

LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
The American in That Country Soon Becomes Conscious of It's
 Restrictions.

What Is it. at bottom, that makes the English atmosphere so difficult for an American to breathe in freely |? It is, I believe. that he teels himself in country where the dignity of life is lower than in his own; country where man born in ordinary cir cumstances expects, and is expected, to die in ordinary circumstances; where the scope of his efforts is traced be- forehand by the accident of position; where he is handicapped in all cases and crushed in most by the superin- cumbent weight of caste, convention, 'good form" and the deadening artiti- cialities of an old society, comments a writer in the North American Review. That unconquerable buoyancy which infects the American air like sting and challenge, and braces every AmerI- can with the inspiration that he has a chance in life; that there are open op- portunities, unreserved possibilities, no battering at locked doors. no noun- dering in blank alleys: that here. in short, it is the man himself who makes his career-is something which the English have so utterly lost as to be incapable of realizing it.

CAROUTHERS CATCHES
 ESCAPED PRISONER.

Constable w. B. Carouthers, assisted by G. L. Robinson, on Wednesday night captured Har- ry Cunningham in a house-boat on White river at the local wharf.
 The prisoner broke jail at New ark several weeks ago, while awaiting trial for the burglary of hardware store of that town.
 When arrested he had in his posse sion grip stolen recently from Harry Darnell of the north local.
 The officers at Newark were informed by phone of the arrest and came down on the local Thursday for their prisoner.

LIFE ON A TORPEDO BOAT.
The Men Have to Take Their Sleep and Food in "Catch as Catch
 Cam Fashion.

A man on torpedo boat has to catch his sleep 'on the fly and he becomes exceedingly expert, being young and adaptable. at making up the required amount of slumber in little mosaics of an hour now, half an hour then and ten minutes later on. He becomes accus- toned to drop into doze whenever a favorable minute arrives and he is not on duty, and to stay in that condition until sudden lurch of the boat shakes it out of him Never at sea does he ex- pect to be able to turn in for full nights sleep, says a writer in the Boston Globe.
 This difficulty of sleeping on. a torpedo boat at sea is one of the principal req sons why the fleet of destroyers sent to Manila had an itinerary arranged for it which provided for 90 days spent in port and only 70 at sea. This 90 days of rest against 70 of active seagoing Is calculat- ed to be about the limit of endurance of a picked crew on torpedo boat A de- stroyer, it must me remembered, is only a torpedo boat of a larger growth, and not so much larger as to make any mate- rial difference in the amount of discom- fort and strain put upon the crew, espe- cially where the theater of action is the open ocean.
 A man who has had much service on a torpedo boat said to the writer:
 It is not only sleep with which you have to play catch as catch can on board torpedo boat, but you have to play tag with your food as well. If there was anything like sea on, we never used to think of sitting down to table, but took such food as we could get in one hand and ate it while we held on with the other.
 "A great part of the time cooking was next to impossible, and cold canned stuff, or what was left over of tue stuff which had been cooked in port had to suffice us, and we grabbed that as we could and when we could.
 The cook always, or almost always, used to make coffee for us, though how he managed it was a mystery, for, though he used to lash the coffee pot to the top of the stove and toe down the lid, the pitching and the rolling of the boat in heavy seaway would spill large portion of the contents of the pot out through the spout.
 ''Then cookey would put a cork in the mouth of the spout, and when the boiling coffee generated steam enough the lid would blow off, or the cork would a -l-.I l.. f~ exercise of indefatigable energy and skill of the sort which ought to have been recognized in general orders that finally enough coffee would be manufac- tured to give each man cup."
