Horses In the Time of Homer.

The horses used in Homers time
were war horses. The warriors were
drawn in chariots. The art of riding
was known, but 1t is alluded to us
something unusual. Ulysses Mt the
time of his shipwreck "bestrode a
plank, like horseman on big steed."
There are reasons for believing that
the practice of riding was much later
than that of driving, and the myth Of
the centaur, where, according to Shake
speare, "man is incorpsed and demina-
tured with the beast" probably orig
mated at an early period when the ap-
pearance of n man on horseback was
q novel sight.

A SINH For Molierc.

A remarkable incident is reported for
a suburban theater in Paris. The play
was "Tartuffe," and at the end Of the
fourth act the manager of the company
came in front of the curtain and said,
Ladies and gentlemen, we shall not go
any further with this piece, for the fifth
act is unworthy Of Mollere." How the
audience took this announcement is not
stated. Perhaps they went home and
read the fifth act critically In the seclu-
sion of the library.

4 UNIVERSITY LOSS
The Destruction of the Dining Hall
 on Saturday Morning.

The dining hall of the University of Arizona was destroyed by fire early Saturday morning. The origin of the conflagration is q mystery The total loss is nearly $10.O0O covered by insur- ance, to the amount of $4,000. Nothing at all was saved except a few tables and chairs. There are no theories re- garding the starting of the first but it is stated that 1t is not believed to have been the work Of an incendiary. The building had just been cleaned after the close of the school year and everything of an inflammable nature supposed to have been removed.
 The flames were discovered about 8 o'clock in the morning by B. M. Stan ley who notified the University author ities. At that time the fire was con- fined to the basement in the rear of the building but on account of the lack of fire fighting facilities the flames could not be prevented from rapidly spread ing.
 A telephone message was sent to the Tucson fire department. The response was prompt but the distance is a mile

A wOAlAN,s ACHIEVEMENTS
Miss Marian s. Parker a Successful
 Civil Engineer.

The May number of the Michigan Alumnus issued by the Alumni associ- ation of the University of Michigan contains mention of one of the gradu- ates of that school Miss Marian s. Parker, t.,e nature of which makes further information concerning Miss Parker of interest to the general read CT, for she has proved herself a woman capable of doing things. There is an added interest in the fact that Miss Parker is 2 cousin of Mrs Elizabeth C. Brown of this city and that she be- longs to the same family 9 distinguish ed member of which recently became of special prominence as a candidate for the presidency of the United States.
 Miss Parke- is the first woman to graduate from the engineering depart men. of the University of Michigan. which event occurred in 1895, and is one of the very few women in the world who are entitled to be known as civil engineers. Her home was in Detroit. where she graduated from the Detroit high school in 1891 entering the uni Versity the following year. Soon after receiving her degree she was offered and accepted a responsible position in the office of q New York firm of civil engineers and is still employed by the sCme firm.
 Miss Parker has without doubt found her proper sphere in life for she dearly loves her profession and has made a flattering success of it while she is still below the age described in general terms as middle life" From her earliest childhood she has had a special gift for mathematics. is rapid and accurate in her calculations and has found a pleasing field in the pur- suit of engineering problems Any educated and intelligent person, man or woman. who devotes time to the subject can grasp the simpler problems of engineering but Miss Parker seems to have grappled with it's most complex features and with a measure of sue cess that has crowned the efforts of but few men of all the thousands whose lives are devoted to that pro- fessiOn. In her girlhood she seemed to have but two of the overpowering characteristics of her sex, namely q love of dancing and a weakness. or is it strength for pretty ball room cos

tunes. But these distinguishing fea-
 lures are the proof incontrovertible, of
 her supreme femininity, which has been
 in no way sacrificed because of her
 talents for a line of scientific endeavor that has hitherto been almost exclu-
 sively appropriated by men. Miss
 Parker is modest in her professional
 work and does not seek faVoritism be- cause of her sex, submitting all her plans under the name of M. $. Parker,
 without the prefix Miss that they
 may be considered upon merit alone,
 so that consulting boards and compet-
 ing engineers, except they be personal
 acquaintance, have no knowledge that i they are passing upon the work of a woman. That the nature of her work
 is of the highest order is instanced by | the fact that some of the modern sky scrapers of the great American metro polls have been constructed under her plans and she has actively participated in the engineering of the second bridge
 that is connecting the great cities of New. York and Brooklyn.
 The following is the item reproduced from the Michigan Almnus: "A re- cent newspaper dispatch from New York City speaks as follows of the work of Marian :. Parker 'O5: one of the big things in the Wall street sec tion is the Broad Exchange building. It is 2S stories high and houses 5000 brokers, bankers and corporation off cers. It has just come to light that the designer of every inch of the structural work from the foundation to the roof was a woman, Miss Marian $. Parker.
 q civil engineer. In addition to this she has designed the steel work of the Astoria half of the Waldorf hotel The Whitehall building which is another giant of lower Broadway and a score more of other big structures she has designed. She calls herself special iZing architect"

and a half so that when the chemical engine arrived the work of destruc jon was practically complete. There was nothing left-Of the structure except the brick walls. It is probable that tenn porary dining hall will be built
 The one destroyed was built four year years ago at a cost of $7,000. The furnishings cost $500.
 The last legislature authorized the purchase of fire fighting apparatus which will be installed within the next three months. Had it been in place on Saturday morning the building could easily have been saved. At present there are on the grounds of the Uni versity no connections with the water mains for the attaching of hose of q large size
