CHAMPION OF "MlDNIGHT OIL"
University Professor Claims Students
Should Study Mostly at Nioht.


Chicago, March 24.-Dr. John A.
Scott, professor of Greek, in North,
western university, addressing one OF
his classes in defense of burning the
midnight oil,' has declared the great
scholars of today are not those who
study in early morning, but those who
study late into the night.
"In olden days." he said, 'the Per.
SLAMS congregated at daybreak to pur.
sue their studies, but nowadays the
great scholars pore over their books
at night. In the morning ones eyes
are not clear, his head Is still numb
from sleep and he is in no condition
for mental work. Because of the
lack of Illuminating facilities, the an
clients were obliged to study in the
early morning before beginning the
days work, but today our greatest
students do their best work after the
sunlight has faded away. That is
the best opportunity for mental i'm.
provement, and although l would not
urge any of you to refrain from rising
early, I would urge you to do your
studying at night"

Miss Huestis was an attractive

A singular fact is that the young

Joining room began to show signs of
the approach of death soon after the
death of her daughter. Like her
daughter, the mother also is greatly

hospital say that her low vitality is
due principally to starvation. One

who investigated the case, has made
public his conclusion that the two wo.
men had unconsciously hypnotised
each other and that gas asphyxiation
had nothing to do with the case. He
explained that he had himself been
hypnotised while hypnotising a patient
and had only been awakened by the
arousing of the subject.
The case of the two women has at.

thus induce him to concentrate in the

VALUE OF SMALL FARMS
ALONG THE COAST.

n. 0. Item.
Recently the Item saw statement
made by a farmer who lives near Biloxi,
Miss as to the profits of his little es-
tablishment and how small an amount is
needed to secure a comfortable home
and living anywhere along the coast be-
tween this city and Pascagoula. What
can be accomplished on small tract OF
land through energy, perseverance and
a knowledge of the industries taken, IS
also fully exemplified by Mr.. E. w.
Geer in the Rural World. That gentle
man cites the owner of a small farm OF
eighteen acres, who grows fruit and
keeps poultry for living. The land
was poor at the outset, and the farmers
means were limited, so rapid progress in
building up was impossible. 1t re
quired three years to bring the place
into productive shape, but in the fourth
year the income from poultry, eggs and
fruit aggregated S599.50.
The fruits grown are of various kinds
some tree fruits, plants and vines.
| The fowls on the place are nearly all
separately housed and yarded, while
the chicks are partly hatched in incuba-
tors and raised in brooders.
The income from the various products
for the past five years is as follows:

OUR new ORLEANS LETTER
Special Correspondence Sea Coast Echo
New Orleans, June J..
ONE ON THE PMEPG

Texas has come to the front with an
other refreshing Lone Star proposition,
which, in one respect, looks very much
like joke on the farming and dairy in
terests in the entire South, and it is no
less than plan for the use of cotton
seed oil as an oleomargarlne for butter.
The proposition also has strong politi-
cal significance, inasmuch as it was the
agricultural influence which brought
about adverse National and State legis-
lation toward the use of the oleomarga-
rines in butter, and the joke on the
farmer lies in the fact that this legisla-
ton now deprives him of a substantial
revenue, as it prohibits from using for
sale product which he himself raises
and which touches by-product Of the
South's greatest staple. After many
tests and experiments it has been found
that cottoa seed oil may be used as a
harmless mixture to butter, and those
States which have no prohibitive laws
will reap the first benefits of the new
process. The matter has been a subject
of much talk among cotton raisers in
Texas and in other parts of the South
where it is known, but, while the cotton
I grower may use his own cotton seed Oil
in butter intended for his own consump-
| ton, he is debarred from converting it
into remuneratiYe commercial product
! by the laws which he himself created.
Whether or not this fact will haye any
effect upon reverse legislation is q mst-
ter wholly of speculation, but as it n ,w
stands the farmer is compelled to sub
nit to a deprivation of revenue and can
not use one of his most easily obtained

products to his enhanced pecuniary ad-
| vantage.
A STRAY WIRELESS MESSAGE
A peculiar phenomena occurred in
New Orleans some days ago which indi-
Gates the remarkable length which wire
less messages may travel. On the rooi
of the tall skyseraper of the Hibernis
Bank & Trust Co. is erected an appara-
tus for sending and receiving wireless
messages to Galveston, Kew West,
Tampa, Mobile and eventually to Pan
anna. The operator in charge was star
tied with faint message, which he
finally deciphered to be one from some
vessel far off in the ocean, presumably
in the North Atlantic, for it told of en-
countering and then being in great
snow storm. The message was intended
evidently for New York, but the sound
waves, travelling through space, were
caught by the sensitive receiver Of the
New Orleans station fairly intelligibly.
Whether or not the message was wholly
DETECTED from its true course has not
been discovered.
MORE TULANE SCHOLARSHIPS.
The growth and expansion of Tulane
University, Louisiana's great educa-
tional institution, has been very
marked during recent years, and the
number of free scholarships has been
increased to 116 out of total academic
scholarship of 238. In order to provide
more adequately for the expense OF
these free scholarships, which are dis
tributed all over the State, fund is
being raised in New Orleans and other
sections of Louisiana. Friends Of Tu-
lane claim that fund of $4,000 year !,
a portion of which has already been Sc
cured, would remove the necessity for
the annual struggle to make ends meet,
and would thereby benefit the institu-
ton immensely.
Public spirited men of New Orleans
are taking great interest in the move
ment; and leading men in the parishes
are doing likewise. Tulane Alumni are
taking active charge of the campaign.

OPENING OF THE EXPOSITION

Thursday, June tst, pursuant to sched-
ule, Witnessed the formal opening OF the
Lewis and Clark Exposition at Port
la nd, Oregon, to commemorate the CEN
te nnial of the expedition OF the two
e3 plorers to whom the country owcs It's
ac quisition Of that stretch Of country o.
in1umerable riches lying west OF the
Rocky mountains and stretching west
ward to the ocean and to the SPANS
provinces on the south.
The historian tells US that it was
'"President Thomas Jefferson who, in
1904, sent out the expedition under
Capt. Moriwether Lewis and Lieut.
William Clark. His instructions were
ito explore the River Missouri from its
mouth to its source, and, crossing the
highlands by the shortest portage, tc
seek the best water communication
thence to the Pacific ncean." The
party left ST. Louis on its trip up the
Missouri on May II. 1t reached the
mouth of the Platte on July 16. 1t
spent the winter of 1804-05, 1000 miles
! from St. Louis, among the Mandan In
dians. 1t broke camp in April, sighte
the Rocky mountains on May 26, crossed
them in September, started down the
| Columbia river in October, and on Nov.
| !, 1905, came in sight of the Pacific
ocean. Winter was spent on the coast.
The return was begun in March, and
seven months later the party arrived at
St. Louis"

/ summer, and while the number of visit
ors will fall below that which was privl-
legged to witness the wonders Of the ST.

! bration of the centennial Of an achieve
ment that must forever live in history,
availing themselves at the same time OF
the opportunity to visit the most pic
tLresque territory of natural scenery IN
the United States.
But the mode Of travelling, the means
of Iocomotion are far different today
than they were one hundred years ago,
in the time of Lewis and Clark, and
were those who lived at that time able
to view today the magnificent achieve
ments of man, well would they join the
celebration; for since that time the
wonders of the Twentieth Century, as
evolved by the inventive genius of man,
have been wonderful, nay, marvellous.
