44o feet thick covering the bottom, in
case ali the water should evaporate.
In many places, especially in the far
north, the water freezes from the bot
tom upward. Waves are deceptive
things. To look at them one would
gather the impression that the whole
water travelled. This, however, is not
so. The water stays in the same place,
but the motion goes on. In great storms
waves are sometimes forty feet high,
and their crests travel fifty miles an
hour. The base of wave 1.-THE distance
from valley to valley is usually con-
sidered as being fifteen times the height
of the wave. Therefore, a wave TWEEN
ty-fve feet high would have base ex-
tending 375 feet. The force of waves
breaking on the shore is seventeen tons
to the square inch. Tit Bits.

much control over his students. Evil
IDENTIFY there is lax discipline at Madison.
Evidently somebody who knows how to
handle 3, 900 or 1900 foolish youngsters
ought to 90 out there and tell "Prexy"
how to do it.
An eminent philosopher up state,
treating of a small scrimmage of this
character in his little college town the
other day, suggested to the wise ones
who carp that they know nothing about
it. He told them of their own futile
efforts to control the actions of their
three or fourboys in their own
family circles; keeping them straight,
and out of mischief; and springs the
question on them how they would han
die 300-the number of unrulies in the
little school next door to him.
That is fair question and after they
have answered it to their own and his
satisfaction, let them tackle this one
growing out of the outrage at Madi-
son Wednesday night.
We suggest that it is proper matter
for the legislature to take hold OF and
settle A law might easily be passed
providing that all students in the state
university shall stop being young don
keys, and other things that frisk and
act foolishly, requiring them to walk
uprightly p the sight of the Lord, put
ting away all childishness.
1t is about as useful to reason with a
six months old Newfoundland puppy,
pointing out to him the advantage of
dignity and sobriety in his relations
with others of his kind, as it is to try
the same course with college boys.
Even a good hiding would not help.
They carry their nonsense to excess
at times. Boys have been drowned be-
fore last Wednesday in these pranks of
throwing each other into the lake.
Three hundred boys three full com
panies of soldiers third Of full reg
iment And every boy full Of well,
full of blood, full of spirit, full of mis-
chief, full of anything but sense; and
what is to be done with them? Go out
and ask President Van Hise what he is
going to do with them.
There is being made move to work
up a sentiment among the boys against
all forms of hazing 1t is said to ex-
tend to most of the leading schools in
the United States. That may amount
to something If the practice is ever
stopped it will be done in that way,
doubtless. Issuing orders to the boys
is never going to stop it.

COEPORATi WIN A Soul.

That some corporations have souls
was forcibly demonstrated in Chicago
not many days ago. A lad Of less than
twenty years Of age was employed by
the Independent Packing Co. His duties
included the taking of the firms funds
to the bank for deposit and it CHANGED
that one day seven thousand dollars was
entrusted to him for this purpose. The
amount was sufficiently large to tempt
the young man beyond his power to re-
sist and yielding thereto he fled from
the city and established himself in a
western state. II was only a matter of
q short time before the officers of the
law had located him and brought him
back to Chicago to face serious
charge. When his case was called a
representative Of the Packing company
begged leave to address the court.
Among the other things he said the
officials of the company had come to the
conclusion that they, and not the young
man, should be blamed for the latter's
deviation from right and duty. They
realized that in entrusting large sums
of money to inexperienced young men
working for a small salary they We're
deliberately putting temptation to be
dishonest before them, that in the flu
ture only experienced men drawing
large salaries should be entrusted with
the handling of large amounts of money
and that if the court would release the
prisoner they would employ him again
at a higher salary than before. 1t is
needless to say the young fellow was
released. 1t reads like fairy tale but
it happened in Chicago in 1907.

a REMINDER.

Jefferson county mon.
One of the most instructive and enter
tanning articles we have read in long |
time is in the October number of the |
World S Work, entitled "Our Town Life
What 1t Is WORTH by French
Strother. 1t is a description without
statistics, of the changes in the person
al and public life Of California city,
as it has grown. The population is made
up OF Southern and New England peo-
pie with their sharp contrasts of ideas
and convictions. Speaking of the growth
of political federation Mr.. Strother says:
Fifteen years ago we were begin
ming to feel the change especially in
politics. The pioneers remembered when
the first republican vote was cast in the
county, and that armed democrats had
tried to find who cast it that they might
run him out"
This reminds us of a story they used
to tell about old Mr. Bulwnkel, King of
Helenville, la mis- county. For years it
was solid democratic precinct, with not
republican voter in it that anybody
knew. King Bulwinkel was the guide
and leader of the community in all
things spiritual, temporal and political.
His fright there was not to dispute.
Finally at one election, over forty years
ago, to the CONSERVATION and wrath of
the King single republican vote
was found in the ballot box whereupon
Mr.. Bulwinkel arose and said. 'Trow
'em out. 1t got no business here. To-
day quite respectable republican vote
is cast at that precinct. But times have
changed here as well as in California.

"Five-nine-ele thirteen" Miss
Gatty counted anxiously, surveying
her flock of hens. Il can't make out
any more-but, dear me, the creatures
fidget so-then they're all exactly
alike"
Again she counted, again, yet again.
The tale was still the unlucky thirteen.
Miss Gatty looked worried. Well she
might. The hens were not her own,
but held in trust for her absent sister.
That. however, was less disquieting
than the potentialities behind possible

Apples and Trust.

A peddler with a horse and wagon
can now go through any part of the
state and pick up free load after load
of apples from the vast quantity rotting
on the ground of better quality than
most of those for which the fruit trust
demands about SO barrel. These cost
the trust on the average about So cents
a barrel, transportation included; but a
tariff duty of 62l cents barrel is, of
course, sufficient to shut out foreign
competition and put the consumer at

gain of more than s67, 900, 900, or nearly
7c per cent, in less than four years,
and is a truly remarkable showing. 1t
indicates that prosperity has simply
"rained" on Kansas in genuine chunks,
for in addition to the steady growth of
bank deposits it is certain that the peo-
pie of that state have also invested a
good share of their surplus profits in
securities of various kinds, also in real
estate, improvements, and in other di-
rections, while the value of their hold
ings has also enjoyed a natural incre-
ment.
