There are two lines OF Milton that

Pursues tho Arimaspian.
No crash OF armed. archangels or tun-

with such n vague, tremendous wonder
OF awe as the vision of the scaly mon

who struggles heavily through blind
leagues OF desert with the winged
terror ut his back. The weight OF the
great words Especially II the Gryphon
gets his full complement of terror In

IL does not explain the magic. Who
the Arimaspian was and what became

The Greatest Indian oraani-er

Pontiac eSemplified at once the best
and the worst traits OF the American
Indian. He seems not To have been SO
great warrior as Osceola, nor as able
Vi general in the field as CornStalk. nor
SO unselishly n patriot as Tecumseh.
but as an organizer among people
with whom organization is almost i'm
possible and as master OF the treach-
erous statecr3ft OF his race he prob
ably surpassed them all. AS soon as
his death was known TIE French gov
'ernor at st. Louis sent for his body
and buried 1t with full martial honors

Square Cap or Berretta Hood Survival
of the Ancient Cope.
Academic costume was originally the
ordinary dress of the period in which
1T was prescribed. Mediaeval statutes
were directed not 10 the wearing of
any particular robe, but against eX-
travagant taste in or deficiencies OF
dress. At Heidelberg. for instance. stu
dents were forbidden TO so out without
boots unless clad in a garment reach
ing TO the heels" The most purely
academic part OF the costume was tho
square cap or berretta. with a tuft on
the top Gin lieu OF the very modern

badge OF the mastership. Its possess
sion was much coveted. and, according
to one authority. lit Is only in post
medieval times that the berretta. first
