SCHOOL LIFE
DISCUSSED
BIG ASSEMBLAGE IN CHICAGO
LEANS TO ADJUSTMENTS AND
LENIENCY-DISCUSSION OF IN
FLUENCE OF THE DORMITORY

CHICAGO. Feb. 1.-THE session
of the Religious Education Associa-
tion today was given over entirely to
discussion of religious phases of col
lege and school life. There were
some notable addresses.
"A college dormitory is so sacred
to the generations of students. that 1t
should stand forever" said Presi-
dent Thwing during his discussion
on Moral Religious Influences as
Related to Environment of Student
Life"
"Dormitory life. moreover, has the
advantage of teaching students to get
on with each other" said President
Thwing. 1T frees from rantanker-
BUSINESS. This ability of association
or or coassociation, is of the highest
worth. College men, when they fail,
though, In fact, they seldom do fail,
fail for one of two reasons; either
lack of moral fibre or inability to
get on with their fellows. The Sec
ond cause Is far more common. No
life represents so efficient a means
for the removal of the tendency to
rantankerousness as the dormitory.
Men must live under the same con-
ditions. They must live together In
time. as we'll as In space. These
forces and methods cut out eccen-
tricities, turn angularities into
curves, make men reasonable. Thus

Fight at Springfield Ends in

Following fight among Italians at

wounds in his back and abdomen.

aud another in the house occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. John Niles about
five rods from the barn.
According to Mrs. Niles the fracas
began at about eight o'clock. Some
time afterward she heard three shots
and saw in the moonlighta a man with
a revolver approaching the house
Mr.. Niles saw no one but heard the
shots.
Francisco was taken to the Niles
house, as he was seen to have been
dangerously wounded ;another Italian
was found to have a cash about eight
inches long in his back, but he will
recover.
States Attorney Buck took charge
of the case Monday.
The foreigners have been at
Springfield about three months, en-
gagged in the construction of build
ings for the Rae Electric Vehicle
company. There has not been much
trouble in the camp until the arrival
of two Italians from New York about
a week ago. Francisco identified his
assailants before his death and the
other man injured concurred in this
identification.

said to be the winner of hundred
or more bouts, with never defeat

won again, getting the second and
third falls.
Willoughby. who looked to be a
bit lighter than his opponent, went
after the man fast in the first bout
and downed him in 20 minutes with
head and arm hold.
Bourbon got the second fall in a
minute with double toe hold and
scissors on the body, and the third
with toe hold again.
The two last bouts were fast and
rough and Willoughby wasn't in
very good shape at the end of the
second bout, but was game to the

Tha lac of tha Arntio.

Shipwrecked sailors have often
suffered and sometimes died of
thirst, because the salt water of the
ocean cannot be drunk. Arctic ex-
plorers can utilize the ice for drink
ing purposes, the only trouble being
in melting it. Sea water in the
process of freezing expels the salt,
and its freezing point is about 28
degrees, or 4 degrees below that of
fresh water. Ice is the principal
product of the arctic regions, and
we are indebted to whalers and ex-
plorers for some distinctive phrases
regarding it. The ice first forms
in thin, irregular flakes called
"sludge," and when this is compact
enough to hold snow it is known as
'sbrash." Gathered into rounded
masses it becomes pancake ice,"
and soon it becomes thicker. The
first thin covering is called "May
ice." A 'fioe" is sheet of ice the
limits of which are visible, and an
''ice field" is SO extensive that its
limits cannot be seen. "Pack ice"
consists of broken foes forced to-
gether by the winds or currents

sons he learned were the value Of

sity for controlling the foods of the
Euphrates
A project has already been sub
mltted to the government for turning
away the excess water of the
Euphrates down the depressions of
the ancient Pison, the first of the
four rivers of Genesis. The work
would cost $1,750,000 and take
three years. The cultivated area
would be doubled and the yield of
wheat treblel along the Euphrates.
If Noah, said Sir William, had been
a hydraulic engineer he would have
constructed the Pison river escape
instead of an ark, and saved not
only his family but his country as
well.

The startish Has Rather an Odd Way
Of Doing II.

The starfish Has Rather an Odd Way
Of Doing Il.
The oyster when at home lives in
hard lime shell which nicely pro-
tects him from the attack of enc
mics. Man, with his tools, can open
the shell and remove the soft ami
NAL, but besides man the oyster has
few foes. Oddly enough, his. great
est foe is not, as might be expected,
an animal with powerful jaws and
strong teeth, but one wholly with
out jaws. 1t is the common star
fish, so common everywhere at the
seashore.
Now, the starfsh is soft, flexi-
BILE creature, very sluggish, seeming
ly helpless and utterly unable to at
tack such an animal as the oyster.
Its mouth, which is in the center Of
the disk, has no teeth or jaws. How
can such a helpless creature open
the formidable oyster shell and get
at the animal concealed within?
Its method of doing SO is odd
enough. It first clasps the oyster
in its arms. wrapping its FIVE arms
around the shell tightly. Having
thus seized the oyster, it quietly
waits. Just exactly what happens
next even our scientists do not ex-
actly know. The two shells of the
oyster are held together by hinge
which is opened by spring. The
spring is so adjusted that the shells
will be pushed open unless they are
held together by the muscles. Some
scientists tell us that after the star
fish has held the oyster for awhile
the oyster opens its shell in order to
get food and the starfsh that has
been waiting for this now injects
into the shell little reddish liquid.
This acts as poison, paralyzing the
muscles and thus making it impossi-
BILE for the animal to close its shell.
Others tell us that the process is
simpler and that the startish simply
holds the shell tightly together un-
til the oyster is smothered. AS soon
as it is stupefied by the suffocation
the muscles relax and the shell
opens.
Whichever of these two accounts
is true, it is certain that after lit :
tie the oyster shells fly open. Now
comes the oldest feature of all. The
stomach of the starfish is very large
and elastic, and it is now thrown
out of the animals mouth much as
one would turn bag inside, out.
This stomach is then thrust within
the oyster shell and wrapped around
the soft animal, beginning at once
to digest it. The starfish does not
take the trouble even to remove the
oyster from its shell, digesting it in
it's own home and eventually crawl
ing away, leaving behind the gaping,
empty shell. st. Nicholas.
