OXFORD NEEDS "
University Now Too Poor 10 Supply Proper
Scientific Training In Some Fields.


The first public act OF Lord Curzon as
chancellor OF the University OF Oxford was
the publication OF an appeal asking for 81, ?io,-
900 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 Bodleien Library.
In many departments OF science, he de-
%clares, oxford is unable. for want OF neces-
sary funds and appliances, 10 supply a scien-
tihc basis for practical work, and an cleo
trical laboratory and provision for giving
scientific training for the practical profession
of engineering are greatly needed.
lie says that the gift OF Cecil Rhodes. the
greatest benefaction which the university
has received OF late years. has brought with
1t a burden, adding. as IL does, 200 men from
all parts OF the British Empire, from the
United States and from Germany 10 the
body Of undergraduates. and imposing upon
the university the necessity Of Offering the
newcomers all that is best in teaching, eauip-
ment and study.
To Americans 1t would seem as IL this appeal
from an institution so venerable, so yenerated
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 sustained by the
shrinkage OF incomes caused by the fall OF
rents during the last generation.

WIGS Made OF spun Glass.

From The London Daily Mdii.
The enormous feminine demand for ant-
fetal coils and toupees is leading to q famine
in human hair. Formerly Swiss. German
and Hungarian girls supplied the world of
fashionable women with luxuriant tresses of
all tntS.
But the Governments OF many countries
are now making II lille gal for a girl TO sell her
hair or for an agent TO buy II. The supply
in consequence is running short and the
prices OF resi- hair az trebling,
A series OF successful experiments point
to spun glass as the most effective substitute
for human hair. igs made from spun glass
are wonderfully light and fine and the texture
soft and beautiful.
II is easy to produce any shade desired,
while curls and waves cen pc manufactured

impossible to detect the difference between IL
and real hair grown on the head.

DIFFICULT CENSUS TAKING.
A Delicate Task In Egypt Discovering
Secrets OF the Harenis.

The country for the last few days has
been going through a series Of questions
and nswers 1t is the period Of the decen-
NAL census. At home the taking of the
/ census is a comparatively easy matter.
Every householder has his or her sheet to
ill up on a certain night and the collector
fetches il 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 manifestly 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 have been going
from house TO house and have powers to
penetrate to the inner apartments In order
to obtain full details.
or course in a number OF cases the natives,
not understanding the cause, resent this
intrusion, and some of the incidents nave
been most awkward. Moreover, very few
Of the fellaheen really know their ages.
their idea of time being liked 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 u~nblushingly
admit, in some cases. quite ten years more
than possibly is their age. The harems
nave 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 domicile.
Altogether the lot of a census inspector
is by no means Il happy one, and it cannot
be wondered at that many OF them fight
shy Of the job. The task requires no end
Of tact. patience and persuasive power.
and, considering the difficulties in the way
and the fact that the inspectors are empow-
cred 20 hale recalcitrant inhabitants before
the nearest magistrate or mamour. 1t speaks
volumes for the able al in which the
inspectors have tackled their delicate task
that very few cases have been reported.
