State University.

To present to the Commonwealth
of Kentucky definite information re-
lative to the character of work that
the University has been accomplish
ing through the graduates, the Col
lege of Mechanical and Electrical
Engineering has Just issued a book
let of information in regard to it's
graduates.
The booklet, published by the
University Press, is handsome one,
vest pocket size, and will be one of
great value to the graduates and
their friends in keeping them posted
as to the addresses and work in
which the graduates are engaged.
The first part OF the book gives
the names OF graduates in the order
in which they finished, beginning
with James Richard Johnson, Pro-
lessor of Mathematics, Eastern Ken
lucky Normal School, of the class
Of 1898. The position OF each grad
uate, business address, and home
address, is given. A unique feature
Of the book is the geographical in
dex of graduates, which shows what
graduates are located in the different
states and cities. This shows a wide
distribution of the graduates, some
Of them being located in each of the
thirty-six. Many of the graduates
have been sent abroad by their COM
panies to do special work, and are
located in such countries as Aus.
tralia, Austria, Brazil. Canada, Eng
land, Mexico and Spain.
One interesting fact shown is that
no less than seventy-two of these
highly trained technical graduates
have returned to their native state,
and are helping Kentucky to secure
her righttul possession in the indus
trial world.

able men, who have, in the main,
achieved much success and contri.
buted largely to the growth and

doubtedly a good percentage of

they have gotten a wide experience

native State, where they can enter
into all the joys of Kentucky living,
aud at the same time bring to bear
upon the resources of the State that
finished talent that is necessary to
put Kentucky in the fore rank

Those who have studied the pro-

that the Kentucky trained engineer
is to be finally the most important
element in the States industrial up

least ten million eggs, and every egg
will bring a fly to drive us crazy by and

And every niece and every aunt-uness
We swat them so they can't-will lay

TRANSPORTATION OF THE CUR
IOUS AXOLOTY
(From the Newark News)

The desert region OF the Southwest is
the home Of a curious reptile which the
Mexicans call the axolotl and which be-
longs 10 the salamander species The
axolotl is light grey or pure white, is
about seven inches long and translucent
It lives in lakes and ponds breathes
through gills Just back of the front legs
has long tail and caudal fins above and
below that extend its entire length, and
four stout legs with which it creeps about
the bottom of the pond.
In the region where these reptiles live,
long continued droughts are common.
Then the ponds and lakes dry up. As the
water falls evaporation begins. Instinct
warns the aXolotl that there will shortly
be no water. and he makes preparation
for terrestrial life.
The Pills disappear, and he comes to the
eurface for air just as q tadpole does when
he Is about to become q froG. As the wa
ter grows shallower, the aXolotl loses a
portion of his tail sheds his caudal fins,
changes from white to brown with grey
spots. and when the water is quite gone
takes to the sandhills and becomes a spot
ted salamander The most remarkable
thing about it all is that when the water
supply is not exhausted, he lives ais entire
life as ar aXolotl, and never tries TO be-
come a spotted salamander.
BY experimentation, an axolotl has
been made to undergo almost complete
| transformation, and then has been turned
| back into an aSolotl again,

SOME ROYAL TREASURES.
(From the Brooklyn Citizen)


Among the royal treasures of Persia
is a pipe set with diamonds. rubies and
emeralds to the value. it Is estimated,
of no less than $4,000. This pipe was
made for the late Shah, and is said to
be even more valuable than his famous
sword.
In the matter of swords it is said that
the Gaekwar of Baroda. who, on the oc-
ca sion of the coronation of George V. in
India. added to his fame by snubbing
that monarch, possesses the most pre-
cous blade in existence. Its hilt and
belt are incrusted with diamonds, rubies'
sapphires and emeralds, and its value
has been put at $1,000 600.
There are many costly swords in the
treasure rooms of eastern and Euro
pean rulers, notably those of the Car
of Russia, the Sultan Of Turkey and the
King OF siam, but the sword OF the
Gaekwar outshines them all. The most
valuable sword in Europe IS that pre-
scented by the Egyptians to Lord Wolse-
| ley. The hilt is set with brlliants, and
the whole saber is estimated to be worth
