No factor perhaps tends to add
more TO the successful growing of

The Highest Kite FIlahts.

The art of flying kites is carried to
its greatest perfection at the large
Astrological observatories, and the
best records of attitudes up TO date
have been made at Mount Weather,
Va, and Lindenberg, Germany. The
former station Is 500 meters above sea
level, the latter only 1870, a circum.
stance that should be remembered in
comparing the records made In the
two places. The following list OF the
highest flights, recently published by
DR. Assmann, gives the altitude above

The Blue Roce.

A nurseryman at gainesville, Ohio,
has developed blue rose. This has
been quest OF floriculturists, so the
new rambler is = triumph of science
The green rose and the black rose
are interesting freaks, but they are
not beautiful The bite rose, how.
ever, should be lustrous. 1t should
have about 1t that velvet glow which
makes the spell of roses. In the
minds of poets and mystics the blue
rose mas long shed fragrance over
the garden of dreams. 1t was said
that whoever had been aroused by the
wild sweetness of the perfume of the
blue rose would never rest again until
he had found the far clear heights
On which this rose is blown. 1t was
said that the blue rose cast Il spell
over all who touched 1t, and ttat
life was never again the same. Well,
the blue rose will at last be common
among men, but the dreamer will still
lift his face to the stars.-Los Angeles

GEORGETOWN RELAY
LOSES COSTELLO
Football Star Too Busy At
School to Devote Time
to Track.

Harry Costello, who was being de-
pended upon to be a strong contender
for the Georgetown relay team, which
will compete in various indoor meets
has been forced to withdraw as an
active candidate for the squad.
AS he intends to try for the outfield
on the baseball team in the spring,
Costello Is devoting all his time at the
school. and is not able to get away
until so late that he finds 1t impossible
to train with the rest of the athletes.
He expects to do some work on Sun
days on the track and, If he can get
into any sort of condition may compete
in the Individual events at the annual
meet at Convention Hall in March.
Negotiating With Fordham.
Manager Wymard is still negotiating
with Fordham for a race at Madison
Square Garden next month and 1t Is
likely that the relay four will be sent
over to compete against some northern
college team. Not only is such a race
looked upon as an attraction TO the
squad, but 1t would give the men ex-
perience before the annual relay with
Virginia here one week later.
Jim Mulligan, who was a member OF
the relay team four years ago, and who
is now an advanced student in the law
school, has resumed training after a
long lapse. He hopes to be able to con-
dition himself and may later try for
the relay. In his prime Mulligan was
one of the best quartermilers in the
country, and, should he be able to re-
gain his old form, should be valuable
asset TO the team.
How Letter Is Awarded.
The following is an explanation, IS
sued by the athletic committee, as to
the matter of the distribution Of the

letes:
1T has been decided to award letters

in which two or more colleges are rep
resented, or members of the schools OF
art, law. medicine, or dentistry for win

ecutive committee is empowered to
award a c. to members of a relay
