IMPROVE TOBACCO BY SEED
High Reputation Of Wisconsin Variety
Due Primarily to its Good Burn.
Ing Quality.
(ey E. p. sANDsTEN, University Of
Wisconsin Experiment Station.)

(5y e. p. SANDsTEN, University Of
Wisconsin Experiment station.)
The high reputation Of Wisconsin
tobacco is primarily due to its good
burning quality and this fact has
been the main cause for its popular
ity with cigar manufacturers. The
yield per acre of tobacco in the state
has been quite satisfactory in the
past, but shows a decline. The rea-
son for this decline can be traced to
two main causes-first, the decline in
fertility Of tobacco land; second, to
the use of poor and impure seed.
The work of improving Wisconsin
tobacco seed was started by the hor.
ticultural department OF the expert.
ment station about five years ago.

Use Crater 70 MA. = 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
Pinch 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 win be con-
structed, and It IS possible that the
quarters for troops may also be con-
structed within the great inclosure
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

A novel product Of the goldsmith

tree. The tree, which stands about IF.
teen inches high, and Is tourteen karat

and full foliage. On the substantial
and somewhat gnarled trunk. says the

with an inscription indicating that
James X. and Marguerite II. Ogden
were married In 1912 in Philadelphia,

years later, when the couple celebrated
the golden anniversary Of their mar

affectionate relatives and friends.
A number Of acrons scattered among
the twigs bear the names Of various
members Of the Ogden family who were

Princeton student Hmproviss. Foss-
Wnrnsr Out OF Light.


rriaeeten student znprovi.ss Foot.
WArasr Dat OF Light.
The Introduction Of electric lights
into the dormitories at Princeton Uni
versity has brought many new cares
to the once OF the curator OF grounds
and buildings aud the faculty as we'll.
The undergraduates seem 10 regard
the lighting system as an opportunity
to study electricity by experimenting,
and II Is the fear OF those In charge OF
the university that serious IRE or
accident win be the result.
During the first month after the in
stallation 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 a 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 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 a
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 viii leave to others 10
decide II Is certain. however. that
the electric lights have been put 10
some strange uses. thereby involving
no small danger to the university
buildings.
In 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
y was merely question OF time before
nre would occur. I
Finally. however. the limit OF the
iurator's patience was reached when a !
student was discovered who had long
"ire from the electric light to his bed
IND was accustomed on cold nights to
put the light In bed with him In order
o keep his feet warm Just how many
lights would have elapsed before a nre
would have occurred which would

PLENTY OF CHALK.

great. especially his class work. and

OF the great emphasis with which he
commanded that precautions should be
taken to prevent the like from hap

On one occasion. after working out

dropped his hand down to the long

Of the board TO fnd another piece.
None was there. and be had to walk

enjoined McFarlane. his assistant. who
was always In attendance. to have a
sufficient number Of pieces on the

one handy wherever he might need II.
McFarlane forgot the Injunction, or
could not obtain more chalk at the

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. IT 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 a live stock
show a few years ago was 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 polar bear. Soon
after his arrival and while he was
