The girls of Barnard College settled many

Yesterday when they staged Barn ardesia. 4"
a musical farce by Blanche Marks and
Edith Somborn, at the Brinckerhof Theatre
In the college.
No attempt was made to construct a
complicated plot. The cast had its ittl Q
business to attend to, and beyond that the
choruses were depended upon to make the
show interesting. The cast was:

Only the senior girls took chances with
the possible ~displeasure Of the satirlSed
authorities. But they were literally sup;
ported by the juniors, sophomores and
freshmen, who were allowed to appear in
the choruses.
The various ohoruses were i%ngenious.
A faculty chorus opened the play, Dr..
Nicholas Murray Butler, Dean Laura ID.
Gill and Superintendent Of Grounds F, A..
Goethe were there in near representation,
An unusually pleasing feature was the
Pony Ballet, written by Miss Closson, 90.
Six Of the college girls, under the instruction
Of the whip, Miss Mclean, romped upon
the stage and %gambolled about at will until
called upon to draw h line. Then the
audience discovered that the ponies were
merely young women wearing. brown
skirts and white waists, and ~plaoarded
respectively Horace, Livy, Vergil, Ovid
Cicero and Cesar.
Hazing by real live sophomores was the
feature OF the sophomore chorus. The
show closed with q Barnard chorus.

dogs on his farm and started in to

he had caught about thirty the rest

that the trap didn't injure and he put
it in cage for a pet. BY mistake
his children fed the prairie dog in the
cage a small piece of common soap

prairie dog was dead. Mr.. Braun de-

rurbine.prlxen Locomotive.

So successful has been the turbine
for stationary and marine engines
that 1t is not strange that efforts
should be made to use it in connection
with locomotives. 1t has been pro-
posed to mount steam boiler and
turbine on a locomotive, and use the
power to drive a dynamo which would
supply current to the motors similar
TO those of an ordinary electric loco
motive. Recently. however, Prof.
Stumpf, of the Royal Technical School
at Charlottenburg. Germany, has in
vented locomotive where the tur-
bines are directly connected with the
axles.
There are three driving axles, and
the plan involves using the steam in
successive stages in the turbines.
which are placed outside of each driv-
ing wheel. The steam is introduced
into the first turbine on one side
through a pipe direct from the boiler.
and then passes successfully through
the second and third turbines on the
same side. 1t then goes to set of
turbine on the other side of the loco
motive, from the last of which the ex-
hausted steam passes into the stack
through the exhaust blast nozzle. The
outcome of the new invention will be
awaited with interest. not only on ac-
count of the extension of use of the
turbine, but also for the fact that the
modern steam locomotive is an uneco
nomical piece of machinery, requiring
given quantity of power.-Montreai

ter is divided into two lower sec
tions-the refrigerator and cabinet
and the upper section, or cupboard.
The refrigerator is again divided into
a cooling box and an ice chest, both
being closed by a door. The cooling
box has a number of perforated
shelves for supporting articles. Ex-
tending the entire height of the
cupboard at each side is a tier of
drawers, the remainder being divided
into shelves. The door consists OF
three sections hinged together the
three opening downward and forming
the top of table. When it is desired
to arrange the furniture as a table or

the shelf is drawn out and the door
of the cupboard let down and allowed
TO rest on the brace, which supports

quently at her wits ends to know
how to manage his somewhat illy-as-
sorted wardrobe.
Daniel" she said one day. "you
must get some underdrawers." (She
spoke of course in the seclusion of
their own apartments.)
Yes, my dear" was the reply: and
that night Daniel came home with u
bundle containing undershirts. Under
shirts he had in great abundance. but
of the article his wife had suggested
his buying the specimens on hand
were almost past wearing. The good
lady's patience was exhausted. When
next she prepared clean clothes for
him she laid out two undershirts and
no underdrawers. When he had
dressed and gone out she found evil
dences of his having donned both gar
ments
Among that days items in his note
book the following was subsequently
discovered:
The underwear of to-day is not
what it used to be. Underdrawers are
made much too small in the legs-so
much SO. in fact. that one has TO slit
them up to make them go on. They
fit loosely about the waist and are not
an aid to a mans sitting down. In
fact they seem not at all suited to the
needs of the human frame. ."-Lippin-
