TAP DAY AT YALE.
What II Means to the juniors Who
Have made Good

What X Means to the Juniors Who
Have "Made Good"
The three great senior societies of
Yale-Skull and Bones, Scroll and,
Key and VOLTS Head-choose on tap
day fifteen members each from the
Junior class, the fifteen members Of
the outgoing senior class making the
choice Each senior is allotted his man
of the juniors and must find him In
the crowd at the tree and tap him on
the shoulder and give him the order
to go to his room. Followed by his
sponsor, he obeys. and what happens
at the room no one but the men Of the
society knows. With shining face the
lad comes back later and is slapped
on the shoulder and told, Good work,
old man." cordially and whole heart
ly by every friend and acquaintance
by lads who have made" every honor
possible, by lads who have "made'
nothing, just as heartily, for that is
the spirit of Yale.
Only juniors room in Durfee hall.
On tap day an outsider is lucky who
has a friend there, for a window Is
proscenium box for the play-the play
which is tragedy to all but forty-fye
Of the three hundred and odd juniors.
The windows Of every story of the
graystone facade are crowded with a
deeply interested audience. Grizzled
heads of old graduates mix with fow-
cry hats Of women. Every one is watch
ing every detail. every arrival. In
front of the hall are drive and room
for perhaps dozen carriages next the
fence-the famous fence of Yale
which rails the campus round. Just
inside 1t. at the northeast corner,
rises the tree. People stand up in the
carriages, women and men. The fence
is loaded with people. often standing,
too. to see that tree.
All over the campus surges crowd
students Of the other classes, seniors
who last year stood in the compact
gathering at the tree and left it sore
hearted, not having been taken"
sophomores who will stand there next
year, who already are hoping for and
dreading their tap day; little fresh
men. each one sure that he at least
will be Of the elect, and again the
iron gray heads. the interested faces
of old Yale men, and the gay spring
hats Ike bouquets of flowers.
It Is perhaps the most critical single
day Of the four years course at the
university. It shows to the world
whether or no boy, after three years
Of college life, has in the eyes of the
student body made good" It Is cru
cial test, a heartrending test for boy
Of twenty years.-Mary R. s. Andrews

II anybody were asked to suggest
why the soup plate was made broad
and shallow the almost certain answer
would be that such an arrangement
facilitates the cooling Of the soup to
temperature comfortable to the mouth.
We believe that utilitarians drink tea
out Of saucer for the same reason.
While that may be the explanation of
the peculiar shape of the soup plate.
the advantage indicated is surely in
significant compared with the obvious
disadvantages which may probably
arise from exposing so large a surface
of nutrient fluid to the air. Soup
should be served in a cup, low broad
teacup. and the method. which is be-
coming more usual. is hygienic Too
deep vessel would be an error on the
other side. Its advantages would be
cancelled by It's great drawback. We
should miss some Of the delicate ia

Advices from Fairbanks state that the mountain caribou herds which migrate each autumn from the upper Panama to the Mackenzie river, chang ed their route this year so as not to pass near Fairbanks. One great herd which numbered 100000, passed near Circle City, and many were killed there, but the Fairbanks minors got no meat, and are much disappointed. An other herd moved across the head of Beaver creek, through an uninhabited country, and eluded the hunters.
 Here in Southeast Alaska where the rain falls alike on the cultus and the klosh, where boisterer cyclonic storms and gentle pink checked cads are never seen, is the natural abiding place of Americas emblematic bird of freedom. To be sure he is some times seen in other parts but he is transient there. he's tourist gathering up data for un- known cussedness. Here is where he lives, him and his family, his mother in-law aud all of his Wife's folks. Here is where he votes, works his poll tax, gets drunk, beats his wife and has a general good time. Here we know him for what he really is and not what he appears on the port side of two-blt piece. We know his thieving proclivi. ties, his alliance with the black wolf for the purpose of destroying game and stealing domestic chickens when the signs are right. When we ponder upon the characteristic cussedness of this bird 8e wonder where he obtained his political pull. We wonder what ancient, misguided senate confirmed bis appointment.

 The United States steamer McArthur, of the coast and geodetic survey ser vice, in command of Captain c. G. Quillian, did valuable work in triangu- lation, hy typography and topography on the west side of Cook inlet, at the entrance to Fritz cove, and obtained data for the government on the posi- tion of La Perousse glacier on Icy bay, during the past summer. The great mass of ice has been shifting it's posi- tion and the Washington, E. C., offices of the survey service ordered a new survey of the glacier. The data obs tained by the McArthur's staff will be sent East and comparison with the data made at the former survey will de- termine just how much the big glacier moved. The staff of the McArthur also made survey of the shoals off Martin island, where the steamship Portland, of the Alaska Coast Steam ship company, struck and definitely located the big submerged rock at the north end of Douglas island which has caused several wrecks and has been a constant menace to navigation. The rock, although nearly 800 feet square, had never been charted. Officers of the McArthur assert that the Portland did not strike on an uncharted rock, as at first supposed, but stranded on sharp ledge of rocks on which the government had considerable data. However, re-survey of the exact spot where the vessel stranded was made.

President Taft has decided fully to accept as his own the conclusions on the entire Alaska eituation as drawn and presented to him by Secretary of the Interior Fisher, following the lat ter's tour of Alaska this summer, and he will base all his recommendations on the question to congress upon Secretary Fishers report.
 It seems to the Trustees of the Ia coma Commercial Club and Chamber of Commerce that any plan or move ment looking to the benefit and better ment of conditions in Alaska, should emauate primarily and directly from the people of that Territory, and would possibly have best expression through joint action of the commercial organi- cations in the various cities and towns throughout Alaska; such action to be taken by delegates ap oiDted by the various commercial and business or ganizations of Alaska; these delegates to meet for conference either in Alaska or on the Pacific Coast, as may seem best.-Excerpt from Resolutions adopt ed.
 Eric Solderbeck, the Russian tailor, two weeks ago was sentenced to pay a fine of $50 for violating an interdiction order, but who was permitted to con- tinue at liberty in order that he might earn the amount of the fine, has not been seen around his usual haunts since last Saturday evening, the sup. position being that he hiked for the Gland of the free and the home of the brave" via the cross.tie route. Solder beck is a good tailor, but his fondness for double distilled, triple concentrat- ed, compound fluid extract of rye was his undoing in this place. Whitehorse was not a competitor when London be came famous through her Three Tai lors of Tooley street, otherwise the fame would have been divided Whitehorse Star.
 The following is an extract from President Taft's speech, made in Seattle recently, which gives his views of the Alaska home rule situation; Il made a speech in Seattle two years ago on the subject of government of Alaska. My own impression was that Alaska will not progress until it has local government that may act upon all local needs. then said I did not think tue people of Alaska were of sufficient solidarity to justify turning the gov ernment over to them, and 1 would prefer commission government like that VIC had in the Philippines. That has not met general approval. l still think that would be the better way, One of the things 1 have learned in politics is that man who stands on a dogmatic principle, generally stands where he put himself the first time and makes no progress. And l am willing so far as it is important that would be willing, to make the concession so that we may have partial elective and partial appointive government in Alaska. It is absolutely impossible for Congress to make the necessary legis. tion for Alaska's progress and pros perity. I sincerely hope that there are no politics in this, so we may count on the House and Senate to unite on abill that will result in some change in that great territory for the people who occupy it and for mapkind,"

 A movement is on foot to introduce reindeer into Yukon territory for the benefit of the natives. The Canadian government has purchased some in Lab- rador and has sent them to Edmonton, to be forwarded to the Mackenzie valley. The natives of Canadian Yukon are much in need of occupation and often find it difficult to obtain enough game on which to subsist. All the vast hinterland of Canada may in time be- come grazing land for hardy northern animals and yield wealth to owners of herds. The yak is favored by many as an animal said to have better flesh than the reindeer.
 The price of eggs, one of the necessi ties of life, has been soaring in Vic- toria for some time past, but never be- fore, at least not in the last few years, has it ever reached it's present quota ton at 70 cents der dozen. The prod ucts's scarcity is attributed as the direct cause of the increased price. The price quoted was considered in the market yesterday as about the highest to be expected as this is the worst time of the year for the product. While it will not be reduced for time, it is figured that the price will not go any higher. Comoz butter has dropped to 45 cents, while the other creameries remain anehanged>-Victoria Colopist,
