alive but unconscious.

caused by the volcanoes. There is

In the village of Elstow there is
abundant material that is visibly assoc

Above all there must be mentioned the
wicket gate which figures early in the
story OF Pilgrims Progress The
wicket gate of Pilgrims Progress is
commonly represented rs a garden
gate or Il turnpike gate. but really the
term denotes a small doorway cut out

held last night at which it was rec

candidate for the games, but the COM
mittee voted in favor of Pennsylvania's
grounds.
The admission of Colgate and Wes-

pension of Johns Hopkins, Amherst n

at the meet in two successive years,

to argue their case.
Representatives of Pennsylvania

press their claims for admission to the
association over an adverse ruling OF
