College men have many ways of spending their vacation, but the trip contemplated for the coming summer by two Yale seniors takes the palm for variety and originality Namely a hunt for big game in the wilds of the Congo, South Africa.

Swans Officially Marked.

Of the swans on the upper Thames
the London Times says: MIR. T. Alb
nett of East Molesey, the kings swan
master, on Saturday completed the
marking of the young swans on the
Thames between Southwark bridge
and Henley. There are between 500
and 600 swans on the Thames and in
the course of the swan marking about
200 cygnets were discovered, each of
which had a mark placed on its beak
to denote ownership. Those belong
ing TO the king, who owns about a
third of the swans on the Thames,
have diamond-shaped mark scratched
on the upper beak with a knife Those
belonging to the Winners and the
Dyers companies, who own the other
two-thirds, have been respectively
marked. In November a number of
these cygnets will be fattened for the
kings table at Christmas"

conner, all right. He is a good fellow,

And SO he was. Almost anybody in
Omaha asked casually that night
would have told the questioner that
DIR. Frederick T.. Rustin, ex-Yale ath-
lete, good fellow and one of the rising
young surgeons in the west, was a
man of whom Omaha was proud. And
they were glad to see him marry a
leading society girl. 1t insured him a
fine practice, and If he would only
stick to business in a few years he
would be rich.
A few years after that night DR..
Rustin, established with his wife in a
little home of their own, had started
in to justify the expectations of his
friends. Two children were born, and
by that time the young surgeon had
become known as one of the best men
in his profession throughout the entire
west. Only "a years old, happily mar
Tied and rapidly becoming wealthy,
the young doctor apparently had every
thing to live for.
And then, suddenly, his friends be-

Then Abbie Rice consented. To-
gether they went to pawnshop and
purchased pistol. They had planned
first to do the deed in the Office of the
doctor, but he was afraid that she
would not be able to get away, so they
went to the apartment where he had
installed her. He loaded the pistol,
cooked it, but in his eagerness drew
the hammer so far back that he broke
the spring. There was no other way
of dying at hand. The killing had to
be postponed.
She had given her consent, so there
was no drawing back. Together, late
at night, they went to his Office. He
showed her where he wanted her to
fire the bullet into him.

must slip away from the house. Get
on a car, go to the end of the line,

SKIM MILK FOR CALVES.
That Right from the Separator Is Be.
Iieved to Be Best.

1t is sometimes said that sweet skim
milk fed directly from the hand of
the separator has caused the death
of calves and young pigs, but I know
of no specific case in which this is
true, says a writer in Farmers Voice,
or experiments which indicate that
sour skim milk gives better results
very largely in favor of sweet skim
milk.
The skim milk directly from the
separator has more or less air in it.
as may be seen by the foam on the top
of it. / have fed this milk within
three or four minutes after separat-
ing to young calves, and never had
any trouble which might in any way
be traced to the skim milk. This
would not prove, however, that allow
ing a young calf or pig to overload its
stomach with new milk more or less
mixed with air would not prove injuri-
Gus, though l question very seriously
whether this cause alone would pro-
duce death. In my opinion if skim
milk is allowed to stand ten minutes
or so after separating, the light foam
from the top removed and only mod
crate amount of the fresh warm milk
allowed each animal, no injurious re-
suits are likely to occur.
Many farmers think that because
the fat has been removed, calf must
be given all the skim milk it can
drink, and many calves suffer from too
much skim milk; also from feeding
cold skim milk and from sour skim
milk, more especially if it is sweet
one day and sour another.
While satisfactory results are re-
ported from feeding skim milk,
recommend the use of sweet, still
warm from the separator.

STORES OF NATURAL POWER.
Wondrous Possibilities to Be DeveI-
oped by Scientists.

Wonderful as the advances in our
knowledge and use of electricity have
been in the last few years, there is
reason to believe that We have yet
hardly crossed the threshold of dis
covery in this direction. Hints of
what is to come occasionally escape
from the laboratories and studios of
the men who are now pushing on the
outposts of electrical science. These
hints are calculated to take away the
readers breath.
Men of science have not yet settled
the question of what electricity is, but
every new discovery shows more and
more plainly that, whatever it may
be, there is hardly any natural phe-
nomenon in which it does not play a
more or less important part
Sir Oliver Lodge thinks that cleo
tricity is a mode of manifestation of
the ether, that strange medium which
is supposed to pervade all space and
to carry light from sun to planet and
from star to star.
