FIXING HIGH NOON AT SEA.
Wireless Te1egraphy Expected Soon to
Overcome the Difficulty.

Wireless Telegraphy Expected Soon to
Overcome the Difficulty.
The most mOmentOus Improvement
in navigation since the invention of
the chrOnometer, more than 40 years
ago, has just been foreshadowed in
modest paragraph in the report of the
chief of the bureau of equipment of
the United States navy.
1T is believed" says Chief Man
ney, that the development of wire
less telegraphy will enable these (time)
signals to be distributed over water as
well as over land, and that before long
every ship at sea, in addition to every
land station, will receive daily noon
signals from the standard observatory
clock"
What does that mean Nothing less
than the elimination of the last ele
ment of uncertainty from the problem
of finding the position of a ship at
sea. Hitherto the one weak point in
navigation has been the difficulty of
carrying standard time on voyage.
Observations for local time as well
dS LOT ldllluut nave Detu tAdCl, DuI
the comparison of local standard time
for obtaining the longitude has in
-olved a certain amount of guess work.
The best chronometer is not quite in
fallible, and some allowance, which
may not be precisely right has always
to be made for errors.
But with time signals received from
national observatory every day at
noon the mariner will know his way
over any part of the wide ocean as ac-
curateiy as If he were threading a
buoyed channel. The chronometer
will join the cross-staff and the astro-
labe on the junk heap of discarded
makeshifts.
And of course a ship that can COM
municate with the shore for one pur-
pose is equally in touch with the world
for any other communication ii needs
to make.

COLLEGE FRANKS
Those of English Students Are Worse
Than in This Country.

Those of English Students Are Worse
Than in This Country.
American students are hardly up to
the British standard In the playing Of
college pranks. Not long ago on q
wager a freshman of Trinity College,
Cambridge, dressed in his sisters
clothes and called on the head of the
college to complain that her brother
was being brutality ill-treated by the
college authorities. He was. so 'she"
asserted, overworked, underfed and
cruelty logged.
The benevolent old head--a man
much more sinned against than sim
ning-listened to these charges in help
less amazement.
But my dear young lady" he
exclaimed
Thereupon "she' burst into a storm
of sobs and would not be comforted.
His protestations of innocence only
made her weep tlfe more copiously.
The dear old man never had a worse
quarter of an hour.
The following week he saw the
Freshman play woman's part in
comedy and the truth slowly dawned
upon him. Meanwhile. the Freshman
had collected the bet and spent the
money in party" which ended in
half dozen students trying to fight
the police force of Cambridge and
spending the night in Jail.
The old town and gown" riots,
which used to be such a strenuous
feature of life in English universities,
seldom occur nowadays, but there was
one in Oxford not many years ago
which ragged for three days and nights
were eventually required to restore the
peace. Houses and shops were wreck
ed and many a townsman and gowns
man had to be patched up in the local
hospitals afterward.
Being an ardent politician. it is nat
ural that the undergraduates should
make the college elections, which are
fought on political lines, exceedingly
lively affairs. Some of the leading
universities return members of Parlia-
ment to represent them in the House
of Commons, but they are elected by
the dons and graduates without much
fuss and excitement. The real fun is
over the election of the chancellor, the
lord rector, or whatever the honorary
head of the university may be called
for In that election the undergradu
ates take a hand.
This position is sought by the great
est men in the land-men of the cal
iber Of Gladstone, Salisbury, Morley
and Balfour. And they are willing t.
go through a most severe ordeal K
win it,
A great statesman who sways thu
House of Commons and helps to shape
the destines of Europe goes election
eering among a mob of yelling colleg'
boys. and they think nothing of pelt
ing him with red ochre bluing and rot
ten eggs if he happens to be of tn,
opposite political stripe. Election da!
is always a wild pandemonium in ;
university town. Wise people stay a
home and put up the shutters.

Oyster Pates.

Chop three-quarters Of a pound OF
cold, firm butter into a pound of -four.
When you have a coarse powder, add
a small teacupful of iced water and
with a spoon work into a soft mass.
Turn upon Toured pastry board and
roll into a thick sheet. Fold this up
as you would a sheet of music and
roll out again, then fold up once more
and once more roll out. Set on the Ice
for an hour or two, then roll into a
sheet half inch thick and cut into
rounds like biscuits. Lay these in
piles of three layers and with small
er cutter press half way through each
pile. Put into a very hot oven and
bake quickly to a golden brown. Take
from the oven, lift off the little cen
trail round from each pate, and with
a spoon scoop out the soft ms de
dough, leaving a cavity. Into this put
creamed oyster mixture. Set in the
oven until very hot and serve.

longer, then add plenty of ground Gin

pumpkin and cook one hour, then spice
to taste before putting away.
