PLENTY OF CHALK.

When Prof. William Thomson, after
ward Lord Kelvin, was at Glasgow.
his absorption in his work was very
great, especially his class work, and
he much disl1ked to be brought down
to earth by any slight chance or in
convenience. Examples will occur to
every old pupil, writes Andrew Gray,
OF the great emphasis with which he
commanded that precautions should be-
taken to prevent the like from hap
pen1ng again.
On one occasion. after working out
part Of calculation on the long-fxed
blackboard on the wall behind the
table, his chalk gave out, and he
dropped his hand down to the lonR
ledge which projected from the bottom
of the board to find another piece.
None was there, and he had to walk
a step or two to obtain one. So he
enjoined McFarlane, his assistant, who
was always in attendance, to have a
sufficient number of pieces on the
ledge in future to enable him to find
oAS AAANy "hSACfSl hc ueeu l.
McFarlane forgot the injunction, or
could not obtain more chalk at the
time, and the same thing happened the
next day. So the command was issued,
"McFarlane, 1 told you to get plenty
Of chalk, and you haven't done it.
Now have hundred pieces of chalk
on this ledge tomorrow remember,
hundred pieces; will count them"
McFarlane, afraid to be caught nap
ping again, sent that afternoon for
several boxes Of chalk, and carefully
laid the new, shining white sticks on
the shelf, all neatly parallel, at an
angle to the edge.
The shelf was about sixteen feet
long, SO that there was one piece Of
chalk for every two inches, and the
effect was very fine.
The class the next morning was de-
lighted, and very appreciative of Nc
Farlans's diligence. Thomson came in,
put up his eye-glass, looked at the dis
play, smiled sweetly, and turning to
the applauding students, began his lee

A novel product Of the goldsmith's
art takes the form of a genealogical
tree. The tree, which stands about if
teen inches high, and is rourteen karat
gold. is an oak with spreading branches
and full foliage. On the substantial
and somewhat gnarled trunk, says the
jewelers. Circular, is a small plate
with an inscription indicating that
James K. and Marguerite II. Ogden
were married In 1912 in Philadelphia,
Pa. Another plate indicates that fifty
years later. when the couple celebrated
the golden anniversary Of their mar
riage, this tree was presented by their
affectionate relatives and friends.
A number Of acrons scattered among
the twigs bear the names Of various
members Of the Ogden family who were
Of this world at the date Of the pre-
sentation. On the silver base, now
black with aga are ak acrons In
scribed with names Of members Of the
family who have departed this life.
The idea was that when a member Of
the family died his acron should be cut
OF the tree and buried In the base.

cost Of this tree, which was made In
Philadelphia, was 81 500

versity has brought many new cares
to the office Of the curator of grounds
and buildings and the faculty as we'll.
The undergraduates seem to regard
the lighting system as an opportunity
to study electricity by experimenting,
and 1t Is the fear of those in charge of
the university that serious fire or
accident will be the result.
During the first month after the in.
stallatton of the electricity the lights
were nightly put out in some building
or other by the burning out OF fuse.
The cause was always the same-some
student playing with the lights had
made short circuit, which left that
part of the campus in darkness.
This condition brought a series of
raids from the curator and insurance
agents, who last summer gathered in
many electric fans connected with the
power system in the crudest and most
dangerous fashion. This winter q DIFF.
ferent set of problems has appeared.
Instead Of fans water heaters were in
troduced. Shortly after Christmas one
young man, mindful of Santa Claus
beautiful mechanical toys, laid out
miniature trolley system in his room.
The undergraduate daily paper has
come to the assistance Of the college
with the following announcement:
Whether Princeton undergraduates
are unaccustomed to electric lights, or
whether the realization of danger does
| not enter into their mental makeup,
Is question we will leave to others to
decide. 1t Is certain, however, that
the electric lights have been put to
some strange uses, thereby involving
no small danger to the university
buildings.
I'm silence and patience the curator
sought out and destroyed the beautiful
red tissue paper shades which the aes-
thetic but thoughtless students had
carefully placed around the electric
light bulbs, unmindful of the fact that
1t was merely question of time before
| a fire would occur.
Finally, however, the limit Of the
curator's patience was reached when a
student was discovered who had long
wire from the electric light to his bed
and was accustomed on cold nights to
put the light In bed with him in order
to keep his feet warm. Just how many
nights would have elapsed before a fire
would have occurred which would
have warmed the entire person Of the
ingenious inventor we are not able to
compute.
1.-THE question Of establishing a
course in the use of electric lights has
been suggested, but we believe that
the necessity can be avoided by the use
OF small amount of common sense
by the undergraduates" Newark

Use Crater to Hide q Fort.

United States army engineers have
begun the construction of two large
tunnels through the rim Of the great
extinct crater of Diamond Head, Just
east Of the city Of Honolulu, Hawaii.
The tunnels are an adjunct to the great
l2-inch mortar batteries now nearly
completed on the slope of the big cone
farthest from the ocean. They will
penetrate into the big bowl Of the
crater, the floor Of which includes some
twenty acres, surrounded by almost
perpendicular cliffs from fifty to 200
feet high. Erosion Of ages has covered
this crater floor with layer of earth
averaging perhaps six feet in depth,
while a small lake occupies one side
most Of the year, from rains which find
no outlet.
Within the mountain unusually secure
ammunition magazines will be con-
structed, and 1t is possible that the
quarters for troops may also be con-
structed within the great Enclosure
formed by the crater walls.
The batteries of eight big mortars
are almost entirely concealed from the
sea by the bulk of the mountain behind
which they are placed, which not only
makes them difficult to locate accurate
~ from ships. but will protect them

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


One Of the principal annual events
in Chicago is the great livestock show,
which is usually held late in Novem-
Der or early in December. 1t is at
tended by stock-breeders and fanciers
from all parts Of the country, and even
from Europe. Many of the visitors
wear costly fur or skin overcoats, and
present an imposing spectacle as they
stroll along the streets of the city.
Among the visitors at live stock
show few years ago was a large,
white-bearded man who wore an enor-
nous overcoat, reaching nearly to his
feet, that looked as If it had been made
from the hide Of a polar bear. Soon
after his arrival, and while he was
walking along near the stock yards, a
little girl who had been playing in
front of a tenement house happened to
see him. For full minute she gazed
at him in open-eyed wonder. Then she
tfmidly approached.
"Please," she said, "I'd like to whis-
per something to you"
"Me?' said the stranger, STOPPING I'M
til his ear was within whispering dis
lance. What is it, little one?"

"A what?"
"A real wax doll. For Christmaa,
you know. One that will open and

why, yes, Of course. But don't you

has found it out. I'll see that You get
the doll, and it will be just the kind
you want. I haven't my pack with me,
but I'll pick out the doll, all right.
What's your name"
She told him, and gave him the
number of the tenement in which she
and her mother had the top rooms,
and he made a memorandum on a
scrap Of paper he found in one of his
pockets. Then, bidding the little girl
a cordial Goodbye" he resumed his
walk. Later in the day he dropped
into one of the largest toy stores In
Chicago. and looked over the stock of
wax dolls.
What's this one worth?' he asked,
having found one that fulfilled all the
requirements.

OFFICE HOLDING AS A BUSINESS.

\ HE complaint is frequently made and with
plenty of justification, that cities, counties
and States too often intrust their affairs
to men who have not made IN
IEsSMsAy their business. As one newspaper has
SSESkssg0 expressed it: Municipal administration
is nothing less than commercial admnistra-
ton with the ledger in millions where in ordinary bust
it is In thousands. And yet the ability shake
hands and Jolly rather than to transact business
mines the selection of who to handle tremen
dous Of other peoples money Deliver from the
municipal statesman who has handled and could
not ably handle than 20 cents Of his money!
The point is well made, though it should not
be intended to bar the nontaxpayer from hand in
municipal government. While it is proper that the non
taxpayng class should have vote in municipal govern
men only at the ballot box but in city councils
