OF the student body, and DR.. r. G. Wa
terhouse, of tile faculty. They returned
from the conference Monday.
The second term examinations are on
now, and long faces are common on
every hand. But there are fewer of these
faces this year than usual, as the stu
dent body is of a most studous makeup.
1t is common observation that the
standing of the student body is higher
than II has been for many years.
Carock Hawk. n sophomore. is Ill with
typhoid fever, but with careful nursing
his speedy recovery is expected.
The fight that Is engaging the atten-
ton Of the student body now is that be-
tween j. Fl. Ashworth and W, n. Neff
for first honor In the graduating class.
The battle was begun in the first Of
the junior year and ends with the pres
ent examination. Their average grades
lat present are about the same, and
hence a slip on the part of either in the
examinations now on would be ominols.
What adds to the excitement of the
fight Is the fact that Mr.. Asheworth is
a member of the Hermesian Literary So
.ciety and Mr.. Ncff. of the Calliopean.
Between the societies there exists in
tense rivalry. Hence the question: Ter-
mesian or Caliopean-NVhich?

INSECTS AND PAIN.
Lower Organisms Not Particular
w Sensitive to Discomfort

Tho views OF most people regarding
the feelings OF Insects and other lower
organisms Is probably that expressed by
Shakespeare In the words. "the poor
beetle that we tread upon In corporal
suffrance feels a pang az great as when
a giant dies There are many facts,
however, says the London Globe. which
seem to throw great doubt on this view.
The following remarkable observation OF
the great naturalist, Fabre, for exam
pie, seems to Indicate that Insects are
not Very sensitive to pain.
A species Of solitary wasp stores up
the bodies of hive bees to nourlsh Its
larvae. 1t catches the hoe on the flower
and II it finds Its captive full Of honey,
saueeses out the sweet LIQUID. and drinks
IT before storing zip the body for its
young. This bce-cGtching wasp. how
ever. sometimes falls a prey to another
insect the mnntis. Now. on one occa-
sion, Fabre saw wasp which had iust
seized bee, and was squeezing out the
honey, itself seized and held fast In the
saw-like foreegs of mantis. And as
the latter held the wasp transfxed, and
was snawng its underparts, the wasp

Causes Of Railroad Accidents.

The cause Of some railroad accidents
is found in the rail of tho tracks. which
through an Inherent defect may spread
or break, and precipitate perhaps nun
dreds to their death. The marvel is that
the rails are, as q rule, so trustworthy.
In his illustrated article on THE Analo-
my OF q Steel Rail-" in Iiarper's for
March. Henry Cook Boynton s. ~, or tile
Department. of Mining arl Metnlinrsy,
Harvard University. describes me pro.
cess by which a steel railsis prepared for
It's tremendous responsibility. CAUTIOUSLY
enough there is feminine suggestion IN
the fact that at one stage OF the process
tho rail is polished with ordinary rouge;
powder, by n roadcloth-covered wheel. II
ia then examined under powerful micro
scopes for the discovery Of defects.
