OXFORD NEEDS MONEY
University Now Too Poor 10 Supply Proper
Scientific Training In SOM Fields.

The first public act OF Lord Curzon as
chancellor Of the University of Oxford was
the publication of an appeal asking for 81 49,
600 to meet the pressing needs OF the univer-
sity, among which he enumsrates the pro-
motion OF modern and scientific studies and
the maintenance OF the Bodleian Library.
In many departments Of science. he de-
clares, Oxford Is unable. for want of neces-
sary funds and appliances. to supply a scien-
ti1c basis for practical work. aud an cleo
trical laboratory and provision for giving
scientific training for the practical profession
Of engineering are greatly needed.
lie says hat the gift OF Cecil Rhodes, the
greatest benefaction which the university
has received OF late years. has brought with
II a burden. adding. as il does. 200 men from
all parts OF the British Empire, from the
United States and from Germany TO the
body OF undergraduates. and imposing upon
the university the necessity OF of cring the
newcomers all that is best in teaching. equip
ment and study.
To Americans it would seem as IL this appeal
from an institution so venerable, so venerated,
30 intimately associated not only with Eng
lish scholarship. but with English literature
and English history. would meet with prompt
response. Unfortunately, so far neither the
universities nor the oathedrals have been
able TO make up by popular gifts for the
great losses they have sustsined by the
shrinkage Of incomes caused by the fall OF
rents during the last generation.

DIFFICULT CENSUS TAKING.
A Delicate Task In EBypt-DiscOyerlnE
Secrets Of the Hare

s#.
The country for the last few days has
been going through a series of questions
and answers. 1t is the period Of the decen-
NAL census. At nome the taking OF tho
census is a comparatively easy matter.
Every householder has his or her sheet to
all UP on n certain night and the collector
fetches it on his rounds, and there the
matter ends. But in Egypt there are in
superable difficulties in the way of such
simple methods.
To begin with, as the illiterate class il
large, it is mnnifestly impossible to get
the forms filed in. writes a Cairo CORE
spondent Of the Pail Mall Gazette. So
the Government has had to nominate an
army of inspectors, who AVE been going
from house to house and AVE powers to
penetrate to the inner apartments in order
to obtain full details.

their idea of time being fixed by events.
Thus one mans reply to the questioner
was that he was a boy working in his fathers
field when Alexandria was bombarded,
and another that he remembered seeing
the "malika fransawiya,' evidently the
Empress Eugene, at the opening OF the
Suez Canal.
On the other hand, the women, unlike
their Western sisters, do not consider age
a thing to be ashamed OF, and unblushingly
admit, in some cases, quite ten years more
than possibly is their age. The harems
have been another obstacle to the com
pleteness Of the census, and In many in
stances the inspectors have had warm
quarters of an hour with the surly and
unwilling eunuchs who guard those portions
of the fasteners domioile. ,
Altogether the lot of a census inspector
is by no means Il happy one, and 1t cannot
be wondered at that many Of them fight
shy Of the job. The task requires no end
Of tact, patience and persuasive power,

Wigs Made OF spun Glass.

From Ihs London Daily .M0l.
The enormous feminine demand for ari-
hcisI coils and toupees is leading to a famine
in human hair. Formerly Swiss. German
and Hungarian girls supplied the world Of
fashionable women with luxuriant tresses Of
all 1nts.
But the Governments of many countries
are now making it illegal for a girl to sell her
hair or for an agent to buy IL. The supply
in consequence is running short and the
prices OF resi- hair at trebling.
A series OF successful experiments point
to spun glass ms the most effective substitute
for human hair. iRs made from spun glass
are wonderfully light and fine and the texture
soft and beAutifui,
II Is easy to produce any shade desired,
while curls waves cen be manufactured
at will to suit the fashion of the moment. The
imitation Is so realistic andrtrue to life that II Ia

FrOm Tif-Hfts,
Among the historical curiosities TO be seen

and each OF its branches IL covered with In
Vulnerable holes. In fact. the whole tree Is

entioed beneath its branches by practical
lockers.
