Phosphoreseent Forests.

The phosphorescence of certain
agaries of Borneo has more than once
demoralized the superstitious natives
and astonished whites. Some years
ago a party of English engineers
found it necessary to survey a tract
of low lying country which was al
most impenetrable. and to blaze the
trail natives were employed to work
at night, others during the day. The
former came into camp one night
stating that they could not go through
portion of the bush or forest, strange
Spirits on the trees telling them that
evil would befall them if they CON
tinued. The spirits" proved to be a
magnificent display of phosphores-
cense emanating from agaries grow
ing upon the dead limbs of the trees.
These vegetable fire bodies were
traced for considerable distance,
producing a most remarkable exhibit
ton, the light in some places being so
brilliant that it was difficult to be-
lieve that the forest was not afire To
test the brilliancy the men held pa
pers near the most brilliant protions
and read by the light.

A great many OF the best students

these students were generally the

which new courses are added partic-

In Denver some of the best teaching

Real success today depends upon
trained brains more than upon beef
and muscle. Plenty of men are to be

not enough men who can work with
their muscles and brains together.

are needed to guide them with their
