A Curious Ancient Chair.
In the senate chamber Of the University
of Glasgow, where the faculty and the
board Of trustees hold their meetings, is
an ancient chair with large arms and
a high back, upon the top OF which is
an hour glass. For two centuries that
chair has been used by competitors for
prizes in Latin and Greek composition
and In other subjects. A student enter
ing one of these competitions was al
lowed an hour to answer the questions
submitted to him. or in other cases to
write the thesis upon the topic as
signed to him upon entering the eXamlna-
Evening star., 1909-02-26

ton room. At the end OF the hour he
was required to submit his manuscript
to the examination officers and retire.
The hour glass on the top of the chair
was a constant reminder of the flight
Of time. When the student took his
seat. the glass was turned so that all
the sand was in the top lobe, and when it
had all trickled through to the lower
lobe his opportunity was finished and
another competitor took his place. On
the right arm of the chair is table with
an ink well. a trough for pens and a
drawer for stationery. The chair is made
of solid oak. and is very heavy. The
arms and tho back are covered with
initials which have been carved by idle
and absent minded students, some of
whom have since become famous.

ever, is considerably greater than that
of the Great Northern engines. The
latter weighed 355, 900 pounds, of which
316,000 pounds were on the driving
wheels. There were three pairs Of
these on each truck.
In the two new Southern Pacific. To-
comotives there are four pairs of driv-
ing wheels IN each truck, and the total
weight is 100000 pounds, of which
$4,000 pounds arc OIL the driving
wheels This total weight is, therefore.
about 10000 pounds more than that of
the Erie Mallet- which weighs 100000
pounds, but as tho whole weight of this
engine is on the driving wheels, the
Southern Pacific engines fall about 90

tion in tractive effort.
