THE COSMOPOLITAN CLUES.
A Convention OF the Foreign students
Held In wisconsin.

So many Of the colleges have foreign
students nowadays that It is no longer a
source Of wonder TO read the figures in the
catalogue. These students in many Of the
institutions have grouped themselves into
what ara called cosmopolitan clubs. Cor
nell was perhaps the first TO form such a
club on ambitious lines.
Recently the strength OF the movement
was seen when q convention Of many OF
these cosmopolitan clubs was held at the
University Of Wisconsin. The men gathered
there represented very big percentage

Hermit's Bust in Chalk.

Attention is called by the Travellers
Gazette to recent acquisitions by the
Louvre, notably of a life-size bust in
chalk, primitively colored, of the her
NIT king Of the eighteenth dynasty, Ak
houmal0n, or Amenophis ", one Of
the strangest figures in the long line of
Pharaohs The bust is remarkably
fine specimen of the art of the period
and is well preserved. Besides this there
are four sepulchral urns in blue porce-
lain from the tomb of Rameses ii. In
these urns was found, besides funeral
linen, certain organic matter, which is
being chemically examined.
