TO EXPLORE LABRADOR
Middlebury College Professor ir
Unknown Land.

Middlebury, Aug. 15.-The I'M
known regions east of Lake Tennis
camie, in southwest Labrador will be
explored by a party of Middlebury
college professors, which has just
started on its long trip. The party,
which is known as the Mcfarland ex-
petition, consists OF Professors Ray
mond Mcfarland, Thomas c. Brown
and Phelps Nash Sweet. The depar
ture from Middlebury was made yes
terday, the first stage of the journey
being by rail via Montreal to Rober-
val, Lake st. John, in northern Que
bee. There two canoes. guides and
food supplies for six weeks will be
obtained. Entering the canoes the
party will proceed northward by the
Chamouchouan river 225 miles to
Lake Mistassini, thence northeast
about $50 miles to Lake Temiscamie.
A full scientific equipment was
taken along and the hitherto unex-
plored regions will be examined care.
fully. When this work is completed
the return to Lake St. John will be
attempted by the Peribonka river
which is about so miles lin length
from its source to the lake. The ex,
petition expects to return to Middle
bury the latter part of September.

In the midst of other excitements
last week a good many people failed
to give due credit to the three small
boys whose efforts prevented a much
worse collision than the one that oc-
cured. These three boys, Harold
Hicks, Bert Ellis and Alfred Ellis,
were playing near the Hicks crossing
and saw the two trains approaching
each other though neither was visible
to the other. BY their frantic mot
ions the boys let the freight engineer
know that something was wrong

and applied the brakes when the pas

earned a lot OF credit and have shown

BENNINGTON BATTLE DAY

Tomorrow is the anniversary of
the Battle of Bennington, the turning
point of the Revolutionary war and
the chief demonstration of patriotic
devotion of the colonists of northern
and western New England. The day
is a legal holiday in Vermont and
worthy of more attention than is paid
toit.
Except in Bennington and vicinity
comparatively little attention is paid
to the holiday, which seems strange,
not only in consideration of the event
to be honored, but from the fact that
the day comes in the middle of the
hottest month of the year when a
holiday would naturally be most well
come to everybody who works.
The celebration here tomorrow in
cludes a base ball game in the morn
ing at Morgan park and the annual
picnic Of the f. NJ T. A. b. society at
the upper Soldiers home grove in the
afternoon. This picnic practically
furnishes the sole support Of the
Father Mathew society which is one
of the most valuable organizations in
town and as such deserves cordial
support from the people of Benning
ton. Those who wish to spend thu
day out of town or have other plans
for the day can help along the socie
ty by buying tickets even II they arr
unable to use them.

PROMOTED THE COOK.
An Error Made Him a Professor Of
History In Russia.

An Error Made Him Professor Of
History In Russia.
Some years ago the minister Of edu-
cation in St. Petersburg was appealed
to by telegraph for cook. to be hur-
ried to Moscow. The operator got his
dashes and dots mixed but by next
train a man arrived and was ceremoni-
ously conducted to the university.
where be was introduced to the assem-
bled faculty and students as the new
professor in history.
The unhappy fellow protested that.
while he might be professor of pots
and pans. he knew nothing about his
tory. But in Russian official life it is
harder far to correct an error than to
make one, so for several years the cook
has held his professorship, though no
one attends his lectures.
Another laughable story comes from
the Suwalky school for boys. A door
keeper there who could scarcely read
or write had grown so untidy and
slow that he was no longer useful. but
as the headmaster did not want to set
him adrift he promoted him to teach
ers post and had him transferred to a
distant school. He, too ~ill be pro-
fessor some day.-Moscow Letter in
