Rishop Foss.

The death of Bishop F'oss recalls to
the older members of the Wesleyan
University community and to those
who We're Middletown residents dur
ing his incunbency in the Office OF
president of Wesleyan, an interesting
and bright chapter in the history of
the Institution. Coming TO the col
lege when its financial condition was
sadly in need of repair, he took hold
of a discouraged condition and with
the united assistance of loyal faculty
and the friends of the institution, who
quite evidently We're inspired by the
force of his individuality, he built up
the endowment and restored the COL
lege to a better basis by the addition
of much needed friends.
Bishop Foss was Christian gentle
man as well as a clergyman, a man
whose example was the best example
of his faith in God and his fellow
man. While not spectacular in any
sense of the word, his influence upon
Wesleyan was for good He left be-
hind him when he returned to the
active ministry, a strong impression of
his character. AS the resolution of
the Wesleyan faculty admirably ex-
presses it, he has been as a brother to
his colleagues upon the faculty and as
a father to the younger men of Yves
leyan. His inspiring character and
presence will be greatly missed in the
great demonstration. which was his
chosen field of Christian labor and in
every activity of life where his infiu-
ence was exerted.-Middltown Sun.

covering a very unusual number OF
weeks. Second the Seine is more
ana more, according to Prof. Davis OF
Harvard university, cutting It's way
by erosion back into the valley OF the
Afre and drawing to itself waters that
formerly were drained into the river

mountains thoroughly deunded OF
ed may be dismissed, for the moment
The third cause compels the most Sc
rlous consideration, since IL Is one over
which man may have some control. IL
seems to be conceded that this Is the
worst season of floods northern France
fury, and the fact is significant that 1t
is in the past century or two that the
forests have been cut away.
In a time of unusual rainfall, the
streams in the Morvan mountains now
quickly turn into torrents. for there Is
nothing on the granite slopes 10 re-
strain the waters plunging down into
the upper course of the Seine. Thus
the foods in the river have a tendency
nowadays to exceed those of the past,
although al their worst they would
not seem extraordinary in America.
But Paris has grown to its present
size and character not only on the
basis of a comparatively small aver
age rainfall but of a comparatively
small run-off in flood time, or, ex-
pressed somewhat differently, of run
off more prolonged and equable. The
absence of forests may not affect the
amount of average precipitation In the
least, but 1t does apparently AFFECT the
flooding of rivers.-Springfield Repub-

A New Santa Re TraiI.

A modern highway 275 miles long
through the short grass country" in
western Kansas would not only prove
an Illuminating object lesson for the
entire state, but for all the country
as well. The people of western Kan
sas have started a movement to afford
the world just that object lesson in
road building. From Newton to the
Colorado line it is proposed to con-
struct a continuous boulevard along
the Arkansas river and call it the
New Santa Fe TRAIL
Such a highway would prove the
most durable and certainly the most
appropriate marker" Kansas could
erect for the historic Santa Fe trail.
and the short grass country would
find it an investment for the develop
ment of that territory far more salts

cation or for railroad building yet pro-
posed.

Do Away with statuary Hall.
