Letter from President Nell, Of Clemson.
Henderson Intelligencer. I

Editor Anderson Intelligencer: Dear
Sir: Clemson College has been severely
and unjustly criticised recently and you
columns for her defense.
We do not object to criticism when it
is we'll founded, and we do not fear fair
criticism; if we have made mistakes we
are anxious to correct them, for we de-
sire most heartily to advance the inter-
ests of the college in every direction.
But when persons visit the place who are
said to be leading men in their communi-
ties and excellent citizens, when such
men receive such erroneous impressions
and write such incorrect accounts of
what they saw and heard and the dis
courteous treatment they experienced,
then it is time for us to speak the truth
in defense of the management of the in
stitution.
The State Farmers Institute has been
conducted successfully for several years
and has won high praise at home and
abroad for its value interest and pleas
ant features. The same preparations
were made this summer as in former
years for the comfort and entertainment
through July ruined the cantaloupes,
peaches and other fruits and damaged
our garden vegetables so that we could
not furnish our table with as great
variety of vegetables as we would have
desired. Still there were watermelons
sent to the barracks every day in abun-
dance and 1880 pounds of grapes were
sent by the horticulturist. The farmers
were requested not to pluck the grapes
from the vines because some valuable
experiments would have been ruined !;
every grape that could be spared was
sent to the table. will give you the
bill of fare for dinner each day; one of
the papers said might have ordered
this menu, but twas it served?" In re-
ply / will state that several of the pro-
fessors aud officers of the college took
their meals at the barracks every day,
and they have reported to me that the
meals were just as / have stated and we'll
cooked and served just as the steward
has been in the habit of doing in former
years. We have had the same walters
and cooks for years, and there is no rea-
son to suppose that the fare or the SER
vice were different this summer.
Bill of fare for dinner: Roast beef,
fresh pork, boiled ham, salmon, grated
corn, tomatoes, raw and slowed, boiled
rice, potatoes, cabbage, corn bread and
light bread, biscuit, Boston and Cali
fornia red beans, grapes, watermelons,
stewed apples, Jersey butter, milk and
coffee.

STRENGTHENING STREETS

Editor Evening Bulletin:-If not too
late | desire to call the attention of the
Superintendent of Public Works and
the several improvement clubs to the
proposition of the Public Works de
partment to dispose Of the government
holdings on the Waikiki-mauka corner
of King and Bethel streets.
Al the time the Wayerly building was
put up the frontage thereof was made
to align with the makai-Ewa corner OF
Bethel and King streets.
A line continued from the Bethel
street frontage Of the postoffice would
intersect with the corner of the old
Hopp & Co. building.
In view of these conditions and the
fact that there are not now any valu-
able improvements on the Waikiki
side OF Bethel street, why does not the
Public Works Department negotiate
with the owners of the old Castle 4
Cooke property and induce them To
take over the gore that would make
Bethel from Hotel to King streets q
straight street and thereby prevent
the ten or twelve feet jog there would
| be, We're the gore to be sold to the prop
erty on Waikiki side as at present con
! templated?

ENGINE SMALLER THAN A FLY.
Made OF Gold and Steel. but Weighs No

Tiny Tim is the name Of the smallest
engine In the world. 1t Is made Of gold

house fly seems larger In comparison.
1t fits easily into the smallest 20 short
cartridge, writes T. II. Robinson In the

1t weighs just 1 grains complete, which
Is about the weight Of q ommon match.
1t takes 12o such engines to weigh 1 ounce,
almost 1900 to weigh q pound and moro
tn ar 5000, 900 to weigh ton.
The engine bed and stand are Of gold.
The shaft runs In hardened and ground
steel bearings inserted In the gold bed.
These bearings are counter bored from
the inside to form q eelf-oiling bearing.
The fly wheel has q steel centre and arms,
with a gold rim, and this part (the COM
plete wheeD weighs / grain.
The cylinder is Of steel with octagonal
base highly polished. The stroke is 1-32
Of an inch; bore, s-lOO OF an inch. Seventeen
pieces are used In the construction Of this
engine.
The feed Is through the gold base, which
Is hollow. The speed of this engine Is 5000
revolutions per minute. When running
100 per second no motion is visible to the
mosquito, caused by the vibrating piston
rod.
The HORSEPOWER Is I-4es 900 OF one horse

It; and it nay be OF interest to note that
the amount required to make it hum can

Immediately afterward the demand for
flags, and flags Of better material, began
to grow apace.
for Dime favors, silk flags were sought.
Gradually this feeling has extended until
silk and wool bunting flags are chiefly In
favor, the most popular sizes being bxs and
8x10 feet.
The tendency Is toward a larger flag,
for the economical reason that when the

The Government flags, Of which there are
many varieties, are exclusively Of slk and
wool bunting. The sizes most in use are
gas and Okla feet.
More flags are made for tho army than
for the navy, but the quality Of the flags
used by the latter average higher. Some

Twentieth Century Death Rate Of Babies
Would Satisfy Him.
In one summer there were 81, ss7 infants
deaths In the large towns Of England, the
rate being 275 in 1000 for the same period.
Frequently during summer the hospitals
for children In London are taxed beyond
their capacity. In Birmingham more than
5000 babies die annually.
Germany has a record which, the World
To-day says is astounding for that domestic
country, where all young women are sup
posedly learned In the domestic arts.
Two million children are born in one
year, and yet as many as 400, 900 die before
I year old, making the rate for the German
Empire 200. In pretty Munich, where it
would seem that conditions are favorable
for public hygiene, the death rate has been
as high as 419, an average Of ga In 1000.
Our own country makes little better
record, for in the District Of Columbia the
rate in 1900 was over 275. other States being
q little lower, but still too high. In Massa-
ohusetts eight cities averaged 1870 to sO4,
and New York was about 1850, almost all
the New England States being higher.
From various British reports it Is learned
that improper feeding is the prime cause
Of the great mortality among infants under
1 year Of age, and In a German record of
investigation the statement is made that Of
tho 4,O75 deaths of infants which occurred
In Munich In the year 1908, 8 1895 we're bottle
fed, which would show conolusively that
artificial feeding has It's very serious side
largely because of the "~unclean" milk
given.

Mr.. George grub staked IN old miner

miner finally found some eIcallent surface
indications In the Nevada Mountains and
staked his claim. The prospects were SO
good that Mr.. George. his brother and his

The old g~rizzled miner worked away all
winter on the funds supplied him by Mr..
George. His developments were encourage

the yellow metal.
A short time since another old miner, In
hard luck, came past this first miners claim.

Georges friend was naturally lonesome and
invited the strange to take q claim. and after
looking over the situation this stranger de-

They went to work with their picks and soon
dug the badger out, and In doing DO they made
a remarkable discovery. His bed, In the
bottom Of the hole. was made on o big chunk
Of the very richest Of gold ore. The gold In
the stone on which he lay was worth eio.0 600.
In this way they discovered o rioh vein Of

POPULAR SONGS FROM ENGLAND.
"waiting at the Church" Has Had Many
Predecessors

AT the present time one OF the most
popular songs on the market comes from
England, - said a music publisher. Wait
ing at the Church. originally introduced
In America by Vesta Victoria, has been as
popular as anything that has come from
the other side since the days of Comrades
Annie Rooney and Daisy Bell
about a dozen years ago the songs Of
Felix MoGlennon, an English composer,
had q great vogue here. Mr.. McGlennon
composed Comrades That Ia Love- Her
Golden Hair was Hanging Down Her Back
oh, Uncle john 'Arrah, Go On Yer Only
Foolin,' One Touch Of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kim The Ship I Love- &c.
All Of these songs had a great sale. Mr..
MoGlenpon, who was formerly a newspaper
man, had the knack Of being able to turn out
songs that were acceptable to audiences
in all the English speaking countries.
Another English song that caught On
here wal 4 Wonder Where She Site at Night
It was a comic ditty, somewhat on the order
Of Waiting at the Church. but was not 30
popular.
...Annie Rooney had q tremendous sale
In America, but, unfortunately, its COM
poser, q music hall singer. failed to repeat,
80 to speak, with another equally clever
song called 4 Whistle and Wait for Katie
A7Daddy Wouldn't Buy Ne a Bow Wow
and "A Little Bit on the Top songs that
first saw the light in England. made hits
here, but their eale was limited. 'Violets'
was on the shelf for years before the public
took IL up. A strange thing about this
song was that 1t got It's first real indorse-
ment in America, and through an accident,
too. An American singer in search Of a
song to suit bis voice came across the ballad
in an obscure music shop in London, it Is
said, and brought it TO this country.
