They Furnish the People With Shelter,

Some people have said that the rein

inhabitants Of those countries what

to the dwellers in southern lands. and
very probably they are right. What
would the Laplander he were he de-
prived of his favorite: How could he
travel without his pair OF reindeer
harnessed to his sletlge?
The reindeer has large black hOOfs.
behind which are false or secondary
hOofs; the result Is that when running
they make q Gathering sound. which
may be heard good distance away.
The reindeer has much endurance and
takes a long journey without seeming
tired. though It Is only about four and
q half feet in height and not very
strong. Its horns are long and slender.
with branched, rounded antlers, but
they are not much used In combat. like
those of some other deer.
The largest reindeer are found where
the weather Is coolest, and their color
Is lighter Usually It Is brown and
white. but in the case Of old animals
the hair Is sometimes quite white.
From the skin Of the reindeer the Lap
landers get not only their clothes. but
also bedding and tents: the milk Is
drunk and made into cheese and the
flesh Is also good to eat. the tongue
and launches being particularly liked.

Friday to assassinate Henry Clay

safety. Mr.. Clay, who was not in

in graphing with his assailant, who
is believed to be insane.

Hairy Clark and who appeared to be
about sixty-five years old. called at
Mr.. Clay's office and demanded to see
him. AS soon as he was admitted to
the private Office he began to abus .
Mr. Clay. declaring he had been perse-
cuted by the police and insisting on
a radical reorganization of the force.
Mr.. Clay tried to quiet the man. and
when his attempt failed he started to
put him out of the office. In an in
slant Clark drew a revolver and shot
three times at Mr.. Clay, two of the
bullets going into the wall and one
shattering a window. Mr.. Clay had

New York.-A storm of midwinter
intensity rode up the Atlantic coast
on a gale Friday that left 21 inches
Of snow in places in Pennsylvania,
wrecked telephone and telegraph
wires everywhere and tied up hun
dreds Of miles Of electric car lines.
Sleet and snow caused much wire
trouble between New York, Washing
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Scran-
ton and Harrisburg.

of from New York during a greater
part of the day, the conditions beng
not unlike those prevailing during the
storm of March 4, 1909, President
Tatt's Inauguration day.
A 5O-mile gale sweeping Mineola
aviation field brought damage to six
aeroplanes and wrecked six of nine
tents erected for the air men.
Terrific gales, driving snow and sleet
across the Hudson and turning the
Palisades into a typical winter land
scape, marked the progress Of the
storm for many miles north Of New
burg, while down the bay and outside
Sandy Hook the storm was so severe
as to cause ocean liners to be delayed
and serious damage to the steamship
Honduras Of the Compagnie Generate
Trans-Atlantique.
The steamship Honduras was lying
helpless outside Of Sandy Hook, while
seas piled high all about her, the
wind driving rain and sleet before 1t
at a terrific rate.

to three feet deep. Five of the seven
collieries of the Sus quehanna Coal

burg on the west, but IN damaging
proportions did not come further east

TOTAL ENROLMENT.

Columbus.-According to figures
compiled by the registrar, Miss Edith
Cockens, Ohio state university has a
net registration of 3,1S1. These fig.
ures include the summer school regis
tration. The next fall registration,
September 20 November, is 2,S03. Reg
istration in the different colleges is:
Arts, S19; education, 63; agriculture,
665; engineering, S41; law, 166; phar-
macy, 81; veterinary medicine, 1S2.
These total 1888 but 20 registrations
are not included in the net accounting
because they are duplicates, THAI Is, 20
students have registered in NOR than
one college. II the summer school
and fall term registration, regardless
of duplicates in both terms were
totaled, the registration would be
S,440. OF the 637, summer school reg.
istration, 259 are duplicates, that is 259
summer school students are attending
the university at present.
The largest per cent. of increase is
found in the registration of the agri-
cultural college, due, it is thought by
university officials, to the fact that
university extension work has created
additional interest. The college has
212 more students this year than last.
Fifty-four new students, young women,
are studying domestic science, which
is taught in the college of agriculture.
OF the 5000 odd students, now attend
ing the university classes, 632 are
young women. OF this number 191
are studying domestic science, two
are studying law and three are taking
a course in pharmacy.
Two young men are enrolled in the
engineering classes and two are study.
ing scientific agriculture. The figures
will be used in making up the annual
comparative statistics of the enroll
ment of American colleges and univer.
stiles.
