a march played by band.

POOR STUDENTS BEST

show that 32 per cent. of those in lux
urious dormitories were found deficient
in their studies to IL per cent. of those
residing in Pierson hall, moderate
priced dormitory open to freshmen.
This shows where the start is made
toward poor scholarship in the Yale
course nowadays.
Dean Wright's investigation into the
list OF honors won covering general
scholarship averages for the first two
years of the course shows that only
three per cent. of the students who
reached the honor list roomed in
private dormitories, while Ills lived In
the moderate-priced dormitories.
How sweeping has become the prac-
tice of picking secret society members
from high-priced dormitories is at
tested by the fact that of so members
of the class of 1910 who were chosen
to junior fraternities recently, 70 were
from the expensive dormitories and
only eight of the moderate price.
The Yale Alumni Weekly says, in
discussing Dean Wrights report:
There were those who inclined to the
belief that in the last few decades
there has developed at Yale disincli
nation for the simple college life and
tendency to surround the under
graduate days with luxury. In other
words, there are those who see in the
rise of private dormitories tendency
toward the establishment of conditions
characteristic of Harvard at the pres
ent time, where the richer undergradu-
ates have forsaken the campus dor
mitories for what euphoniously is
called the Gold Coast block of lux
urious private houses, suggestive of
prosperous metropolitan clubs, with
liveried attendants and operated with
more than oriental splendor. But any
close student of the situation can see
that the rise at Yale of the private
dormitories is not primarily, If at all,
due to personal preference for luxury
on the part of freshmen and soph-
omores."

Washington.-A bulletin prepared

to dethrone bread as the staff of life

meat is much more thoroughly digested
than that in vegetable foods.
But this is by no means all, for. ac-

wireless telegraph. 1t seems tho band
which was heard at a distance TOT 'ovei
a mile, was ON the Connecticut, ans
her wireless transmitters we're throwr
IN while her band was playing and an
other ship had a wireless message in
terrupted by hearing this music. The
reason of this freak of electricity is
not yet explained.
An explanation probably lies in the
fact that the ear pieces of the wireless
telegraph are very sensitive, and the
wireless telephone transmitter on the
flagship is very powerful, hence The
sound waves of the music caused suf-
ficent static electricity to be trans
mitted and received by the aerial OF
the wireless telegraph.
AS all wireless experts know, di-
rectors of the microphone type are ir-
regular in their action, and for that
reason are more or less unsatisfactory.
While they are more sensitive than
the coherer, they cannot generally be
used to advantage. They can be i'm
proved in their reliability by using a
numbering multiple and revolving the
needle, which is generally small
steel piece, by clockwork. This causes
more or less musical sound In the
receiver, but the sound of all the in
struments Of band Is quite another
matter, and it will probably be some
time before the real cause of this phe-
nomenon is discovered.

INCREASE IN IMMIGRATION.
Records of Fiscal Year 1907 Show
1885, SAG Aliens Arrived.

Washington The fiscal year 1907,
which ended June 80 last, was record
breaker in the number of immigrants
who came to America. The total num-
Der admitted during that period was
/ .2S5,S49, and 13,064 were rejected.
The total amount of money brought
into America by the immigrants was
S25. 599, S92--an average of almost $40
per capita.
The outward passenger movement
also exceeded that of previous years
During 1906 the total was 569.SS2-
-224,S9 cabin and 344,9S9 other than
cabin.
In his annual report Frank p. Sar.
gent, commissioner general Of immi.
grafton and naturalization, says:
THE immigration for the year 1907
exceeded that for 1906 by 1854, and
that for the year 1905 by 25S,S50, or an
increase over the year 1906 of more
than II per cent. and over the year
1905 of more than 25 per cent"
The commissioner calls attention to
the Significance of the fact that many
immigrants were landed in southern
ports during the last year. He refers
especially to party of 473 Belgians-
excellent types of immigrants--re-
ceived at Charleston, S. c., having
been induced to go there by the state
authorities.
