Special Articles

In the articles of this number
there is almost a richer variety
than in the short stories. Two
friends of Herbert Spencer who
lived with him in his later years
write Of a hitherto entirely un-
known side of the great thinkers
life-of his one little love story,
of how he painted his carpet with
red inS when it grew dim and a
dozen other intimate tales of his
home.
Then there is a remarkable
scientific article by Professor
Robert Kennedy Duncan, which
tells how the German scientists
have assured the continuance of
the worlds food supply by their
remarkable discoveries.
Professor Lounsbury of Yale
has some interesting things to
say Of the pedantic use of the
English language-he says it is
all right to say "to-morrowis Sun
day" instead of "to-morrow will
be Sunday" as the purists insist.
Clifford Ashley, the artist, who
made a trip in an Did fashioned
whaler for Harpers, tells of and
pictures his adventures, and
Deshler Welsh has a valuable
paper of literary interest contain
ing a number of hitherto unpub-
lished letters of Charles Dickens.
w. D. Howells writes Of
"Glimpses of the English Wash
ington Country" and Agnes
Laut tells a stirring narrative of
the wild adventures between the
early French explorers and the
English of the Hudson Bay
Company.
These are only a few of the
things in the April number Of
Harper's Magazines book of
165 pages illustrated beautifully
in color, tint and black and white,
In addition to these features
there is Margaret Deland's Won
derful serial novel "The Awaken
ing of Helena Richie" a tremen-
dous story of the unfolding of a
woman's soul.

KA ISAKA SEINE TAKES THE GOLD
MEDAL At COLUMBIA.
Judges Unanimous In Putting Him Ahead

From Here 10 Oxford to Study Law
and Then Will Live With Own People.

and Then VIII Live With Own People.
Pixley IA Isaka Seine, the only full
blooded Zulu who ever entered Columbia,
distinguished himself yesterday by taking
first honors In tho oratorical contest for
the Curtis medals. These medals, one OF
gold and one OF silver, are awarded an
nuaIly to such members of the senior and
Junior classes of the college department
who take first and second places In the
contest.
Seine entered the college four years ago
with the purpose OF becoming a missionary.
He had an uncle who had been educated In
the United States and then went back to
Zululand. This uncle advised Seine, who
Is the son Of a Zulu chieftain, to come to
America.
As an undergraduate he became much
Interested in student affairs in general,
but did not take any active part in them
except as q debater. He was elected a
member OF the Barnard Literary Society
and attended the meetings regularly. His
frequent speeches improved his delivery
and at the beginning Of the present session
he decided to try for the Curtis medal.
He selected as his subject THE Regenera-
ton Of Africa"
The contest yesterday was held in Earl
Hall before a large audience of interested
students. The contestants were Horace
A. R~osenblatt, OF college, who spoke on
Glass Rule in America; Harold x. Bell,
'O7 college, Public Services of Edwin
NJ. Stanton; Maurice G. E~lenbogan, OF
| college, John Marshall's Influence on the
Constitution" and Seine.
Dean j. Howard Van Amringe of the
college presided, while Prof. George W.
Kirchwey, Prof. Franklin H. Giddings and
Prof. Brander Matthews acted as judges.
The judges announced that Seine had
taken first by a unanimous decision. Ellen
bogen was second.
After winning the contest, Seine received
congratulations from many Of the Columbia
students, who piled him with questions
concerning his future intentions. He said
that he had given up the idea Of becoming
a missionary, because he saw a better way
of aiding the Zulus. After graduation
! this June he will go to Oxford to take a
three year law course. Equipped with
this he hopes to return to Africa to become
a native Acknowledgement, and will repre-
sent the interests Of his people before the
British Government.
He is a loyal British subject, and Is
not in sympathy with movements of which
he has heard to free the Zulus from the
English control. He said that the senti-
ment Of the majority Of Zululand was that
the dominion of Great Britain was an adj
vantage to the natives on account of the
commercial opportunities it afforded.

PENDANT in an action brought by his wife,
Louise Allen Collier, to compel him to sell
