SUN DIAL FOR UNIVERSITY.
Is Copy of Famous Instrument at OK
 ford University.

Princeton. N. J.-Princeton univer- sity is having erected new sun dial, which will stand directly north of the new McCosh recitation hall. recently completed It will be designed after the copy of the famous Turnbull sun dial at Corpus Christi college, Oxford, and will be finished in about two weeks, but will not be unveiled until early in November.
 Sir William Mather, M. P, the don or of the sun dial is prominent fig ure in educational work. The original sun dial was given Corpus Christi college by Charles Turnbull in 1905. It consists of a stone column IS inches in diameter and feet high, resting on square base This column is sur mounted by square stone, on the four sides of which are carved the ar morial bearings of the University of Oxford, King Henry VII, the founder of the college, and Hugh Adam, who is closely associated with the begin nings of Corpus Christi.
 On top of this stone Is large ball, on which is perched a pelican, the em blem of Cardinal Wolsey. The Prince ton dial, which is an exact copy, will be placed on a series of bases, the lowest one being IA feet square. When completed the dial will be over A feet high.

BIRDS TRAVEL ALONG ROUTES.
All Have Not Same Range-SwaIIows'
 Great Distance.

The routes by which birds pass to and from one country to another in spring and autumn are regularly fol lowed. One great thoroughfare, of course, is in the spring from south to north, and conversely in the autumn from north to south; another is south east to northwest; third southwest to northeast, with the return into the same starting points, says the Scot man.
 The great southern wintering region is south of the north of Africa and extends to far beyond the equator, and from it, under the breeding in- stinct in spring, birds hurry away to disperse themselves over the wide spreading palaearctic or northern lands, which extend as far, in the case of some species, as long way within the arctic circle South of the equator during the northern winter the migrants fly toward the south pole to breed. The seasonal range limit of some of the northern breeding birds is normous-severaI extending from Patagonia to Greenland.
 All migratory birds have not the same range; some fly longer, some shorter, distances. The best known of all the birds of passage, the swal- low has one of the longest ranges from 1000 to 10000 miles. In this extended range are also included such birds as the gray plover, the knot, the pectoral and curlew sandpipers and the Asiatic golden plover.
 The longer range-from 6,000 to 1000 miles-includes such wellknown birds as the cuckoo, the corncrake, the sedge warbler, the greenshank; the moderate range-from 5000 to 5000 miles-embraces the turtle dove, the crane, lapwing, mallard and jack snipe; the third range-from 1000 to 2,000 miles-such birds as the wood chat shrike, the stone curlew, the woodcock and black tern and in what is called the restricted area-with a mileage of 1000 miles downward there are the waxwings, several gulls and the cider duck.

WOMAN LIVES YEARS IN A TENT.
ConsumptiVe Recovers by Keeping
 Outdoors for Long Time.

Boonville, Ind.-That the best relief and cure for the white plague are in fresh air, nutritious food and hygienic measures is shown by cure in Rock port Mrs. w. A. Fee, of that city, had tuberculosis several years, and a year ago could hardly get around. her home.
 Secretary Hurty, of the board of health of Indiana, sent out set of rules which were intended to be placed in the hands of the afflicted, and contained the latest methods as to how to combat the malady. Among the most important of these rules is the injunction to have as much fresh air as possible when sleeping, advo- eating sleeping out of doors in tent, or other structure where the patient would get nothing but fresh air.
 A large tent was placed in her yard near the house. A floor was placed in it and stove arranged so that it could be heated, but at the same time there was opportunity for plenty of fresh air to get into the tent around the walls. Her husband assisted her to keep open air home, for she was not able to walk that short distance at that time They slept in the tent all through last winter, and are still sleeping there.
 From the beginning Mrs. Fee began to show signs of improvement until cbn js OOW almost well

THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to TabuIate the
 Beasts That Perish.

Every now and then some natural ist endeavors to make an approximate numerical count of known animal species. This kind of attempt is sure- ly not without interest, but it must be acknowledged that it's results are very uncertain. We are far from knowing all species, and there is yet delight full prospect ahead for those who love systematic zoology and for zoologists who bestow mutual honors by giving each others names to some animal hitherto unknown.
 AS Nurmann remarked to a recent meeting of naturalists at the museum, to which he presented his Catalogues Mammalian" the species of rodents known in 1880 were only 970 in num- Der; now they are 1900. The num- Der has thus, at least, doubled in 27 years. The number of living species of this creature now known is about 1,500, divided among 160 genera. This family is the most numerous of the class of mammalia.-Wissen fur Ale.

WILL MAKE POLAR DASH.
Ice Pack and Canvas Boats to Be Used
 in Trip Northward.

Gloucester, Mass.-The former fish Ing schooner, John R. Bradley, which took Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the Brook lyn explorer, to Etah, from whence he is to make dash for the pole, is at anchor in the harbor here.
 Capt. Moses Bartlett, her command CT, who was with Peary in the Roose- welt, says that Cook accompanied John R. Bradley, the owner of the schooner, ostensibly upon hunting trip and un- til their arrival at Etah he had not announced his intention of trying for the pole to anyone. He took only one man from the Bradley, Rudolph Frank eron, cook. His plan is to stay in Etah until December or until the ice pack becomes well hardened, then dash along the pack. When open water is met he will cross it in two canvas boats. Capt. Bartlett says that had Peary had these boats he would have succeeded in his attempt
 Dr. Cook will take only a few Els kimos and dogs and will relay them in stations all the way. He will take substantially the same route as Peary It was found that the Eskimos had rifed Peary's food caches and even overturned his boats. MT. Bradley left Dr. Cook supply for IS months
 pr. Cook from Etah has about 1000 miles to cover. He must return by the same route-across Smith sound overland S4 degrees, then over the ice pack and sea.
 The attempt will not be a costly one. Dr. Cook was a guest on MT. Bradley's trip and the expenses of the Eskimos and dogs will not be ex- cessiye.

BABY IN TERRIBLE STATE.
Awful Humor Eating Away Face Body Mass of Sores-Cuticura
 Cures in Two Weeks.

My little daughter broke out all over her body with humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doc tors, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away. Her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little ones face and body were as clear as newborn babes. 1 would not be without it again if it cost five dollars, instead of seventy-fve cents.
