Mr.. Borchardt worked his way through

years Mr. Borchardt taught at the Har-

Although Mr. Borchardt has done much
in the twenty-seven years of his life, he
admits that he yet found time to belong
to the varsity base ball team while at
college, and further confesses to love
of the game to this day. He was a
member of the team on which Eddie Col

wishes to see the latest authority upon

In order to give him this we must get
the book. but in order to tell him which
the book is that is both the latest and
best authority we have to consult the
men In France, who are at the bar or
on the bench, or engaged In the teach-
ing Of the law. Consultation with those
men. in part personally, and in part by
letter, is one of the ways in which Mr..
Borchardt is proceeding to get the data
for developing the collection of contem-
porary foreign law.
This process is rather an unusual one
for any library to follow, but is the only
one that seems likely to secure complete
results"
Mr.. Borchardt was born in New YORK
city in 1884. and is a graduate of Co
lumbia University of that city and of the
New York Law School. He was also the
first to obtain the joint Yale-Columbia
certificate in the newly established d
plomacy course. He has an intimate
knowledge of French and German and Is
able to speak both fiuently Added to
this he has sufficient knowledge of
Spanish and Italian to read readily. Thus
fitted he has been able to carry on
much more extended and intimate COM
munication with foreign powers than ii
he spoke but English. He is also an eX-
pert stenosrapher.

Hat Wearing and Draughts.
From the London Chronicle


Draughts in parliament are credited
with partial responsibility for members
custom Of wearing their hats, which
some, however, have even regarded as
inherited from the old open-air moots.
But privilege and tradition are factors
also. When fourteen years ago it was
proposed at the London county council
to start hat wearing because of the
draughts at Spring Gardens, the council
decided not to "ape the manners of par
lament" Lord Onslow nobly declined to
make a party question of "a natural in
trinity like a bald head" Formerly fear
of draughts led to the wearing of hats
even at dinner. though 1t was good man
ners not to put on your hat until your
host did. Pepys records catching a bad
cold by finaing off my hat at dinner,
sitting with the wind in my neck"

Rocks and Prehistoric Animals.
From the Strand.


Fossil remains of prehistoric animals
would not have been preserved and hand
ed down to us through the ages had they
been exposed to the air. Fortunately for
the scientists of today, when these ami
mails persisted the rock which holds their
remains was merely soft mud or drifting
sand 1t encompassed the carcass of the
animal held it tight from air and water
and during the intervening ages passed
through the various processes until it
became solid rock. Some of these re-
mains. even those of the oldest animals,
have been discovered quite close to the
surface This is because the crust of the
earth is like a paper wrapping. folding
and crumbling under the pressure of the
gases and fire of the interior. with the
result that here and there the crust has
been turned upside down. SO that the
lower strata of rock on top. And
1t is the particular stratum of rock that
reveals the approximate age of the ami
mai. Biologists. on examination, can tell
the age of the rock. which gives them
the date at which the animal fiourished

best in the world. SO far as present-day
foreign law is concerned.
Mr., Borchardt was appointed law libra

librarian Mr.. Beamans distinctive work
was the completion of the index to the

completes the work. But Mr.. Borchardts

Favor July for Games.


The selection of the athletes will be
made as q result of competitive tests,
records and past performances. Much will
depend upon the dates selected for the
games by the Swedish Olympic commit
tee. If it is elected to hold the games in
April or May national or sectional try
outs in this country would be out of the
question because of weather conditions
prevailing in this country a month or two
previous. Should, however, the month OF
july be selected for the holding of the
Olympic games. as seems probable, there
would be no difficulty along these lines.
The college athletes Will be judged as
the re.lit of their performances IN the
intercollegiate, conference, New England,
Pacific coast and southern meets, which
are all completed by the end of May.
In addition the Amateur Athletic Union
will hold trial meets in the east, far west,
middle west and south, with the entry
and admission fees contributing toward
the American Olympic fund. The eastern
meet will be held either in Philadelphia,
Boston or in this city, while the middle
western try-outs will probably go to Chi
cago. The games in the far west are
likely to be held either in San Francisco.
Seattle or Portland. Those in the south
will go to whichever locality appears to
offer the facilities during the early spring
months of 1872.
Similar plans and movements are al

self in this country, has been training
the Swedish athletes for some months,
and reports which he has sent to this
country indicate that the athletes under
his supervision may be expected to show
some startling performances during the
Olympic meet. Australia, New Zealand
and South Africa also expect to enter
number of high class performers in track
and field events. and with England and
America splitting the points in the vari-
Gus events 1t is certain that nothing short
of the best collection of American ath
letes can hope to repeat the victory OF

Kentucky not Affected.

upon figures of the last bank

important Decision.

The Court of Appeals has sus-
tanned the award of damages to a
city falsely arrested by a sergeant
of the Kentucky militia and held
without evidence of unlawful
acts. The arrest of several citi-
zens was made by soldiers two
years ago during the night riding
disturbances. Several men re-
turning from lodge meeting
were arrested, and two of them
were held by the soldiers because
two pistols were found in their
buggy. The decision says that
the men had a right to carry the
pistols in their buggy for protec-
tion and that the soldiers were
responsible for damages to them.

No Ready Prints for Us.

Many of our exchanges have
recently adopted the ready print
sheets. The ready print can sup
ply good matter and is an easy
way of making a larger paper.
The Times tried this four weeks
once but our foreign advertisers
were going to quit US because
they had arranged to carry their
ads with the ready print house.
Upon investigation we learned
the ready print company's rate
and found out that they got
more money from the advertising
that appeared in the ready print
side than the rest of the adver.
tising paid US and the subscrip-
tion money thrown in. We like
the service, hut if there were no
ready prints, the local publisher
would get the advertising they
get and thereby get the cash
they get. Their profit would be
our profit, and it is justly ours.
In patronizing the ready prints
local publishers are knitting
themselves and losing one.third
if not one half of their most val
liable advertising. It's time for
all local papers to control their
own business and get their own
cash.
