advance at the first of the year, especial
Iy when they amount to $40 or $50 Prof.

work that the engineering school has
reached its present high standing. His
successor has not yet been chosen. Prof.
Hugo Deimer's resignation associate
professor of chemical engineering was
also accepted. The name of the school
of arts was changed to The College OF

Pittsburg, Kan, ApriI411.-A remarkable
retention of memory by a homing pigeon
was displayed Saturday by the return
home of a bird owned by Bert Koch of
this city, a grower of honning pigeons, at
ter an absence of ten months. Last July
Mr.. KIoch sent eight pigeons to Creston,
Ia, to be released for a test, and all re-
turned except one. 1t was supposed to
have met with bad luck somewhere on
the way back Today about noon 1t re-
turned home, apparently glad to get back,
and coOed its experience to its mates.
The wings had been clipped and grown
out again, so it could fly, and the identifi-
cation band about its neck was gone.
