State Treasurer Rawlins today did
some nigh financing on behalf of the
state and as directed by two chapters
of the Laws Of Delaware, passed at
the recent biennial session Of tho leg

The transactions not only showed

the very minute an obligation is due,
but how to make a dollar work night

The transaction not only brought in
more money for the schools but fur

Pay for Hospital Bonds.
The state treasurer sent to the
Farmers Bank at Wilmington S35.000
to pay off thirty-hve interest-bearing
bonds issued by the state in 1895 to
help pay for the Delaware State Hos
pital at Farnhurst. and its improve
ments. On January /, therefore the
earliest possible opportunity for the
state to have paid off this debt, the
interest on the bonds will stop as the
money is on deposit for the lenders of
the money and the bonds are redeem
ed.
Accordingly. on next Monday. the
state will cease paying to outside cap
italists or brokers the sum of s1,225.00,
the annual interest on this loan at
1-2 per centum.
Here comes in the interesting part
of the transaction which has required
some clever financiering.
For several years, or since 1899

Some Conditions Which Now PrevaNeu Campus Domtories II
Be BuiIt-FacuIy Vie5us-Both Sides Presented.

one side of the story OF the change in Yale life
that has been growing in the last few years
and that has now been taken in hand by the
Yale faculty. The other side is told also in this
article
So important to the continuance Of the best
social traditions at Yale has this question of
the private dormitory system become that
movement has just been started by Yale leaders
to build as possible at least four new
dormitores so as to re-attract the undergradu-
ates to the old system of campus life The
class of 1894 at a recent class dinner launched
this project. and at present plans are being
made to carry it into immediate effect 1t Is
believed that this will do much as any
other one thing TO change the present unde-
sirable clique system. Believing, also. that the
run-d down condition of some OF the old campus
buildings has had something to do with the
moving of the undergraduates into private dor
mitories, the Yale corporation, which has also
taken the matter into consideration, has just
| voted So. 500 for the purpose Of reconstructins
Durfee Dormitory lines. This dormitory
has lost nearly one-third of his former residents
through the exodus to buildings outside OF the
campus.
Two of these new Yale dormitories, which are
to be used to counteract the evils Of luxurious
living by the clique system in private dormitor-
ies to be planted by the faculty in the
storm centre or the present undergraduate So
cial battle. One will be built in the Crown-st.
or sophomore section" to draw the men away
from the Hutchinson private building. Another
will be built directly in the middle Of the Fresh
man district in York-st., at point which is
almost the precise centre where practically all
Yale freshmen now live 1t is also understood,
although not officially announced as yet, that
one of the senior societies is about ready to
build in Chapel-st., York-st., a dor1nitory
that will still further aid in the now adopted
plan of the Yale authorities, to break up the
private dormitory life and bring the undergrad
yates into closer campus relations in this way
counteracting the present tendency to clique
life.
On the other hand the value to private own
ers of the private dormitories has brought out
the announcement that at least two spacious
and costly new apartment houses on the lines
of the successful Hutchinson will soon be built
as counter move to the action of the college
officials. Yale therefore finds herself at present
in fair way to enter a competitive struggle
both with her students in the matter or
apartment living and with the local spectators
in real estate.

Tides.

The following Is given In brief as the
theory most generally entertained by
scientists, with a few exceptions, o n
corning tides: 1t Is assumed that the
moon, acting alone, would not only
raise a wave on the side of the earth
nearest to 1t by g~ravitation, but would
also draw the earth itself far enough
out of it's course to leave behind some
of the water on the farther side, which
water would then be raised relatively to
the earth's surface and constitute the
second tidal wave. The sun alone
would act similarly, although its tide
raising effect Is only about two-fifths
that of the NOON. Now, at new moon
the sur and noon pull together and
give higher tides than at the first and
third quarters, when the sun draws Its
right angles to the line Of the moons
attraction, and at full moon, when the
sun is on the opposite side of the earth
from the MOON, virtually the same eff
feet Is observed as at new moon, but
the double tide raising action of the
sun would again be superimposed on
that of the moon and give tides OF OPP
posite sides as high as those a fortnight
before.

Is at its height. In Oregon and Wash
ington the most densely timbered area
is west of the Cascade mountain range.
This is due to the moisture peculiar to
that section, which aids In the rapid
and prolific development of plant life.
In this forestry belt the Douglas fir
predominates and furnishes about 80
per cent of the understandable timber.
Among the larger species Of trees Is
the giant tideland spruce, which grows
to marvellous proportions. In many In
stances assuming a diameter of twenty
feet and rising hundreds of feet In
height. In cutting the big trees stumps
are often left of twelve or fifteen feet
in height, because the wood of the low
err part of the tree Is rough and hard to
work. If the stump chances to be hol-
low all a settler has to do for n home
Is to roof the stump and cut doors and
windows. Sometimes the hollows at
the foot of the trees are such that a
cart can be driven through them even
before the giant lords of the forest are
felled to the ground.
