MYTHICAL ISLAND OF RUSS.
Supposed to Re Situated Somewhere
 Nenr Greenland's South Coast,

On Frohisher's last voyage, 157S, one of fifteen ships, the buss Emanuel of Bridgewater, went astray, On it's return the captain told wonderful story of having discovered a large island some where to the east of the south coast of Greenland which was named after tha bass Ca term applied e a strongly built ST all vessel of fifty or sixty tons). What was the real origin of the report, whether pure invention or delusion, has given rise to no end of discussion. But this phantom island, some 50,000 square miles in area, kept its place on maps down 10 the great physical atlas of Keith Johnston, in the middle of the nireteeath century. Expeditions were senc out repeatedly to search for it, but with as little result as in the case of lAntilla. Yet it was mapped in detail, and it's features named with as much confidence as if it had been Iceland or taa Fa1oes.
 Even yet we find authorities of repu- tation maintaining belief in the exist enc- of Buss Island, and account for the disa ppearance of this 50,0O0 square miles of lard by q sudden convulsion which skapl; it some hundreds of fathoms be- low the surface of the ocean. 1t is more easy to believe either that the original story was an invention or that the crew of the buss of Bridgewater mis- took the southern ocean of Greenland in those. foggy seas for an island.-J. Scott Kettle in Harper's.

Not until recently has it been neces- sary to take much thought of the char te. provisions, but in the last year or two so many members of the faculty as well as the board of trustees have been chosen from other denominations that it was becoming imperative in seeking new members of the faculty to hand out a sign somewhat as fol- lows: Wanted, a professor of mathe- matics none but Methodists need ap- ply" This the alumni objected to, and in June, 1906, voted unanimously that the charter should be revised,
 Headed by President Raymond the matter was brought before the Con- necticut legislature at its present ses- sion and a new charter, as broad as that of Yale, was secured Having completed this work President Ray mond decided that he was entitled to @ rest from his duties as head of the college and handed in his resignation to take effect in June. 1908.

 The same spirit of helpfulness per vaded all his dealings with the stud ents, even those who went, up before him for discipline and no case was so serious but he could the humorous side of 1t, characteristic trait of his for which the students were frequently call ed upon to give thanks. He has but once or twice in that time despaired of strengthening out some wayward lad and in each case long before that every other member of the faculty was wait ing to throw the offender out. He was invariably the last member of the fac- ulty to vote for the dismissal of a student.
 In local city affairs President Ray mond has always been prominent, all though never conspicuous. He has all ways taken a great pride in everything that concerned the welfare of Middle town or the State of Connecticut. As veteran of the Civil War, member of the command at Fort Fisher, he has always been popular with the Grand Army men of the State.
 For several years he has been most active in striving to amend the charter of Wesleyan so as to place the uni versity on a non-sectarian basis AL though a Methodist preacher himself graduate of the school of theology of the Boston University, ha was particu- ! larly anxious that the charter of the university should be on the broadest lines, The early charter, granted in l 1881, was along the line that he wish ed, but in 1870 this charter was revised by the Connecticut legislature, through the instrumentality of some of the leading Methodist trustees of the col lege, So that majority of its teach ing staff and board of trustees must
 be members of the Methodist faith.

SECOND MARRIAGE

There is a bit of the gambler in the
nature of most of us, and the man
whose pockets are full Is more will
ing to quit the tables than he who
is losing; one seems always to hope
that the luck will turn.
DR.. Johnson pronounced a second
marriage to be "the triumph of
hope over experience" Others,
who are less epigrammatic, affirm
that to take a second partner is the
highest compliment which can be
paid TO the departed first. In some
cases the real romance OF marriage
only awakes with the second WOO
ing. ft by no means follows that
must be a prosalc, practical trans
action. Mature love will naturally
lack some Of the undisciplined fervor
of younger days, but Il will proba-
bly, go deeper and last longer. It
should be controlled but not cooled
by experience. Prudence and fore
sight must not be confounded with
cold blooded calculation. An i'm

riage OF parents with children under

OF those children.
