Built for Single voyage.

A record of a scooter ship, which
was SO per cent bigger than any then
afloat, and which was built to make a
single trip only, being loaded with TIM
Der before she was launched in 1924,
nearly a century ago, was brought %
light by superintendent Bundy, Of the
maritime exchange.
In searching the library Mr.. Bundy
came upon copy of the London Me-
cEanics' Register, published in 1924,
which contains a description of this
vessel, which created as great a SEN
sation in its day as any Titanic or
Mauretania of the present. The ship
was called the Columbus, and it rightly
may be called marine monstrosity.
1t was an immense four-masted
bark, of $500 tons, which was more
than 1000 tons larger than any ship
which up to that time ever had been
launched. A woodcut of the vessel
shows her to have been what sailors
would call IAN ugly brute of ship"
heavy and unwieldly, and how she ever
managed to navigate the seas was then
and still is a wonder.
AS straight in the stern as she was in
the STEM the Columbus carried single
topsails, single top-g allantsails, but no
royals. Newspapers of that day, quoted
by the writer in the magazine, said. she
was 300 feet long and 80 feet in beam,
nearly 1000 tons larger than any ship
in the British navy at that period. She
was built on the st. Lawrence river.
and her first and only passage across
the ocean, or anywhere else, was to
London, carrying what then was
record cargo of timber.
In order to save time in loading this
strange ship, and to hasten her de-
parture, her builders put most of her
cargo on board of her before she was
launched, 1000 tons of timber being
hauled on board from the shipyard
through great openings left until the
last minute in her bow and stern.
AS might have been expected, this
method of building had it's drawbacks,
and she sprang a leak two days after
she sailed out of the st. Lawrence, and
it required the efforts of the entire
crew of SO men to keep her free and in
a condition to navigate. Fortunately
the weather was of the best all the
way across, and she succeeded in
reaching the Downs. At that time she
had IL feet of water in her hold, and
by the time she reached the Thames
this had increased to IS feet. with a
result that she was drawing % feet of
water.-NeW York Times.

A UN1vERs1rY CoNsr1TuTIoN.

What is sure to be of interest to the
higher educational institutions and
particularly those which are supported
by the several states is plan which
has been devised by President James
of the University of Illinois for work
ing out an ideal constitution for the
modern university. In statement
which has been by the Illinois univer-
sity on this subject this plan is dis
cussed and described as follows:
European universities rest as a rule
upon ancient charters carefully drawn
up and promulgated by king or pope.
under which elaborate codes of un-
Iiversity statutes have been developed
by the members of the faculty or by
the alumni of the university, or by a
system Of cooperation between these
bodies, such statutes having been
often repealed or modified by execu-
tive order or governmental statute.
In this country, while such institutions
have usually been chartered by the
state the charter has contained sim
ply a general grant of power, and
under this scheme has been worked
out usually by board of trustees I'M
der which power has been distributed
often in very informal way, among
the trustees, faculties. students, alumni,
etc, without IN any case having result
ed in as careful university codes as
are found in the older countries.
The wonderfully rapid growth of
the modern university has burst the
bonds of these ancient charters, the
outcome resembling in its results the
pouring of new wine into old bottles.
The result has been that the univer-
sity machinery, grown somewhat rusty,
never perhaps equal to its new task,
has creaked and groaned at times in
a very marked way. Much dissatis-
faction has shown itself among aca-
demic men, among trustees, on the
part Of the public, and on the part of
the legislatures. with the outcome of
the university organization Many
articles and some books have been
written on the subject in the past
few years, without really having adj
vanced very much the general cause.
President James has asked the SEN
ate of the University of Illinois, a body
composed of all the professors in the
university, to appoint a committee to
draft a university constitution, setting
fOrIn IN detail the CONSTITUTION Oh the
university and marking off the Iegiti-
mate authority which should be given
to such an institution by the legisla-
ture and the state administration on
the one hand and the university on
the other, and dividing up and mark
ling off the functions of trustees, fac
Iulties, students and alumni.
Among the questions which would
have to be considered bv such a COM
mittee and find a formulation in the
constitution or bylaws of the institu-
ton would be the powers of the trus-
tees of the university, the function

BREATH OF APRIL.

REAE<kAlE1 OE' ATth1A.
Breath of April, when earth's rapture
SrakeS the hills at your command,
And your old immoral promise
Thrills of the gardens of the land.
Let my tear-swept heart be ready
For the joy that wildly wakes.
When in every lane and orchard
All the ancient wonder breaks.
When the morning, like a primrose.
Bursts to sudden flaming flower;
And the hawthorn hedges whiten
In the fragrant twilight hour.
When the shining hills stand verdant,
Like green WardenS of the world,
And from every tree your banners
Jubilantly are unfuried.
Then, oh, then. in pity take me
From pale winters sheath and shrouo,
And make all my burdens lighter
Than the farthest fleecy cloud.
Make the shadows that engulf me
Vanish swiftly as a dream;
Give me of your flowery knowledge,
Teach me your wild pagan theme.
Wrap me round with your wild music,
Drench me In your cleansing rain,
And erase my childish errors,
All the clinging dust and stain.
Breath of April, breathe your healing,
Make me ready in that hour
When the worlds sad heart you quicken
With the springs first fragile flower.

TILE PIATvr MURDER MYSTERY.

No such murder mystery has devel-
oped hereabouts in a long time as the
one which has been attracting the at
tention of Topekans for the past couple
of weeks. The sudden and unexpected
appearance through the medium of
the mails Of three lots of gold coins
BENJAMIN Platt carried for keepsakes
is most mystifying. And it is likely
that there are not many people in the
whole town who have not given free
rein to their fapcies in creating theo-
ries about the murder and murderer
Many of these which have been voiced
around in whispers are as ridiculous
and idiotic as might naturally be ex-
pected.
1t scarcely seems possible that
these coins have been sent back by the
Individual who committed the MUIR
der. 1t will be remembered that Platt
did not carry the coins in his old
leather pocketbook. He kept them in
channels and this bag was found
empty in the alley back of the Platt
store shortly after the murder was
discovered. Now it is within the
realms of possibility that some passer-
by or even some one who worked
on the case found this bag and dump
ed the coins out of it, perhaps without
approaching their significance in con-
nection with the murder. Then when
that significance was realized the party
having them might fear that their
possession would make him murder
suspect, and so he would be afraid to
publicly turn the coins over to the
authorities, and he hit on the scheme
of sending them back to the coroner
and the newspapers in such way
that they could not be easily traced to
him
If the murderer is the man who has
been sending the coins back, he must
be of a maniacal type, degenerate
who would gloat over committing a
crime. of this sort, and his clevernesS
in lodging arrest. If this is the case,
the crime and its developments are
reminiscent of Whitechapel murder
mystery in London years ago. In that
| instance the murderer managed to kill
woman every night or so, and he
took the trouble occasionally to chalk
on the sidewalk or a nearby building
lust where he would commit the next
murder. He led the sleuths of Scot
/
is some doubt as to whether the real
criminal was ever apprehended al
though a man was caught and paid
life forfeit for one or two OF those
crimes f-st-
Certain it is, that if the murderer
of Plat is the man who has been
mailing back the coins he has demon
strated the almost utter worthlessness
of police forces in general and the
Topeka force in particular to run down
a major criminal who is the least bit
Icrafty And it is disconcerting TIC say
| the least for Topekans to realize that
there is in their midst a murderer of
this type who is circulating freely
throughout the city and its busiest
sections with all the freedom that
everyone else has.
