HOWARD UNIVERSITY.
Great Advance in Attendance and
Work, Especially in Sciences.

The past year has been one of marked
advance in the work of Howard Uni
versity The total attendance increased
from 1,253 to 1,3so These students came
from thirty-seven states and ten foreign
countries, showing that the university is
national in it's character and influence.
The standards of scholarship are being
constantly raised, and the teaching force,
equipment and facilities continually in
creased. The School of Medicine raised
its requirements for admission to include
one full years college work in sciences
and modern languages Yet the attend
ance was not diminished materially, being
36o as against $40 of the year before.
The most marked advance is in the
various departments of science. The
opening of the new science hall, with its
physics and biology, marked an era in
the education of the colored race. In the
School of Liberal Arts 204 students pur-
sued the various courses in chemistry,
$50 the courses in botany, zoology and
geology. Howard University will con-
tinue to stand for the most thorough
classical education, but 1t is uniting with
it. both as an integral part of a modern
liberal education and a foundation
for professional and technical courses, up
to date work in sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences in
creased it's attendance. from 14S to 216,
the Teachers College from 91 to 100, the
School of Theology from 112 to 123, the
Commercial College from 50 to 113, the
School of Law from 10 to 11S and the
Academy from $40 to 361.
The completion of the new building for
manual arts and applied sciences. with
the largely increased equipment and two
additional teachers, make it possible to
offer for the first time for 1911-12 four
year college courses in civil mechanical
and electrical engineering. These courses
include, besides the necessary mathemat-
ical foundation. plain surveying, highway
and railroad location, engines and boilers,
hydraulics. roof and bridge engineering,
masonry and reinforced concrete con-
struction, architectural designing, etc.
President Thirkieid, who has for the
last five years led this great advance In
Howard University, is not satisfied with
out continual progress. The deans and
other members of the faculties have the
same spirit. The alumni and leading col
ored people of the nation are giving the
university ever increasing support and
have an ambition to make it university
for the colored race which shall in ali its
work stand beside. the great universities
of the nation.

states. further. that the seminary, con-
trolling the students whole daily life and

which cannot be. secured in institutions
where the student spends but part time.

Scotch Pearls.
From the London Globe,

A number of persons in Scotland
make livelihood by searching for the
precious stones which are occasionally
to be found ensconced In the interior
of fresh-water mussels. To a lesser ex-
tent 1t is also carried out on some Eng
lish and Welsh streams. but none of
these Is so prolific in pearl bearing as
the northern rivers. There are au-
thentic records of Scotch pearls being
found which rivaled any the orient has
produced so far as translucency and
iawlessness are concerned. A writer
of the eighteenth century states that
f2O, 900 was a moderate estimate of the
value of pearls then fished annually
from Scottish rivers, while 1t Is a mat
ter of history that a German who
formed syndicate of fisheries in 1855
acquired stones to the value of f12,OO0
in that year alone. But the industry is
not so remunerative nowadays.

Erected Across the Wakarusa in
the Year 1878.
GEO. Ii. EVANS BUILT 1T
Has Since Stood as an Enduring
Monument.
Valued Demonstration of Right
Kind of Bridges.

''The stone bridge on the Wakaru-
sa" is known all over eastern Kansas.
1t is one of the most beautiful bridges
in the state as well as one of the old
est. 1t is also one of the first stone
arch bridges. It emphasizes more thar
anything else the Importance of build
ing substantial stone and cement
bridges which endure for all time. The
bridge is situated on the old Wash
Berry farm which is now owned by
Ralph Moore and John V. Abrahams
of Topeka.
During the '70s one of the principal
thoroughfares leading into Topeka was
what was then known as the Ottawa
state road. It led out of the city at
a point near Fifteenth street, crossed
the Shunganunga near where the bail
park is now located. angled up the hill
as the road now does, and then ex-
tended diagonally southeast to the
''Four-Mile House," and from there
east and south for nine miles, where it
crossed Wakarusa near the Berry
creek school house. For miles on
either side farmers drove into this
road on their way to Topeka.
The ford at WakaruSa was not an
extra. good one. The bottom was rock,
but there was a steep hill on one side
and a low, springy place on the other.
In those days, two men of strong
character and personality happened to
live in the south part of Shawnee
county, and both were to some extent
identified with county politics, and
we'll acquainted with the county Off
GERS. one of those men was John Mac
Donald and the other was Jacob
Welchans.
John Macdonald had been county
superintendent and in the winter Of
III and rs, Jake Welchans taught the
school at Berry Creek, a school that
then boasted, an attendance of about
sixty children, who CANA to It from
every direction, up and down the
Wakarusa.
Welchans had often seen the diff
cu1ties of travel at the ford, and day
after day, when the river was up above
the stepping stones, ne had seen
farmers boy. barebacked upon an old
gray mare, fording the children across
to and from school. The old mare was
good natured and could carry four at
a time besides the boy, but even this
made the crossing something of A
hardship to the school children. And
again, parents could not always count
upon their children finding the good
natured boy at the ford with his horse.
Welchans was county surveyor. and
he took UT with the county board tie
question of building a bridge at this
point. He called attention to the heavy
travel on the road, and to the import
ance of the state road to the city of
Topeka and Shawnee county, and after
much consideration, it was decided

Find Old Indian Care.

A fish led to the discovery of an IN
dian cave alongside the Pennington
river in the Tunxis valley. in Hart
land, a few days ago.
Walter Blythe and Fred French were
fishing in the stream. at a point known
as Hogsback, and Blythe was in the
act of pulling up a g0od-sized fish
when he noticed a large opening un-
derneath projecting ledge of rocks
on shore.
The fishermen entered the cave eau
tiously, lighting matches IS they went,
and found 1t infested with bats They
found part of an Indian canoe, also a
number of other Indian relics includ-
ing pottery, which are supposed to have
belonged to the Tunxis tribe of In
dians. The men had penetrated the
interior about 40 feet when their sup
ply of matches gave out and the ex-
ploration was necessarily abandoned.
Since that time the stage of the river
has been perceptibly higher and the
men have not been able to gain access,
the opening of which, on the river
side, is partly under water
Blythe is of the opinion that there is
another opening to the cave. When
the river recedes to z. low point again,
the men plan to explore che cave from
one end to the other, and collect the
relics it contains.-Winsted (Conn.l
