The winter term began On
Tuesday of last week. All but
two of the old students returned,
and with them came many new
ones. The winter term is alway S
smaller in the enrolment of new
students, but this term, more are
enrolled than at any previous.
The coming Spring term will be
one of note, as we now have
more students enrolled for the
term than for any Spring term
heretofore.

"ChOOse Ye."

When James A. Garfield, who
afterwards became President Of
the United States, was president
of Hiram College, in Ohio, a man
brought his son for entrance as
student, for whom he desired a
shorter course than the regular
one.
"The boy will never take all
that in," the father said. HE
wants to get through by a short
er route. Can you arrange for
it," "Oh yes," replied the pres
ident of Hiram College. 81 can
arrange for it. Your son can
take the shorter course. 1t all
depends on what you want to
make of him. When God wants
to make an oak, He take a hun
dred years, but when he wants
to make a squash, He requires
only two months. Young Chris

DOWN IN A SUBMARINE.
Flow It Feels Travelling Beneath the
Surface OF the Sea.

What does it feel like to take a
trip in a submarine boat-to be
carried far below the surface OF the
ocean in one of those silent, invisi-
BILE destroyers OF the deep?
The following is the account CIV
en- by an English official after an
inspection trip on one OF the sub
marines of the British navy:
'The captain was peering through
a port, specially constructed so as to
keep clear Of spray. Suddenly he
bent forward. He pulled one of the
brass levers. There came a quick
Kissing roar as the water rushed
into the ballast tanks. An Indicator
marked the quantity taken in, and
then-and then we could feel
strange, heavy, water logged motion
coming over the boat. Now the
surface of the sea was on a level
with our eyes. The boat gave a little
lurch forward. The rushing noise
ceased. There came absolute, mys-
terious silence. There came a down.
ward gliding sensation. The in
terror of the boat was plunged into
darkness, a blackness to be felt.
We could feel rather than hear the
throbbing of the great, steady cleo
trio motor.
GAS the room was flooded with
electric light the captain said in
voice which echoed throughout the
steel hull, 4 am now going to give
you an idea of what submarine war
fare would be like
'1n IA moment we could feel that
the vessel was travelling at slight
upward angle. Then in flash the
whole surface came into view, the
sun shining on the waves, and in
the distance the dark hull of a ship
outlined against the sky.
"Down again to fifteen feet,
gradually creeping closer to our
imaginary foe. Looking over small
white table, on which the picture
of the surface was cast by the optic
tube, the minutes seemed to pass
like hours. Then the hand of the
commander, which had been resting
nervously on one of the indicators,
was sharply drawn forward. An in
stant's suspense-and nothing but
an ominous click as the torpedo
sped from its tube.
''The atmosphere grew hotter and
hotter as we once more sank to low
er depths. The air became more
and more vitiated, and at last we
we're gasping for breath. The cap
tain quietly smiled across at us and
advised us not to take long breaths,
but to breathe quickly. At once we
felt relief and began to get accus-
toned to what we had at first
thought was bad air, but which was
air artifcially made and poured into
the room for our consumption.
"Then at last came the signal,
the tilt and the quick rush upward
once more, the changing color of
the water as we gazed at it through
the port holes, the flash of the sur
face line across our eyes. The man.
hole was thrown open, and a wave
of fresh air rushed in upon u.s."

Stellar Distances.

An English writer has amused
himself in figuring on the price of
a journey to the nearest star. AS
suming that it would be possible to
travel at a speed of 500 miles an
hour and that the fare would be
as low as 2 cents a hundred miles,
he figures that the traveller would
have to pay $5,5OO,OOO for his tick
ct and that he would reach his des-
tination in 5,S39,440 years. If the
traveller, however, could take pas
sage on a ray of light he could make
his journey in four and one-quarter
years. At that rapid rate he could
reach the moon in a second and a
quarter, the sun in eight minutes
and Neptune in four years.

ASCENT OF Pixies PEAK.
Or. James Was the First Man to Set
Foot Upon the Lofty Pinnacle.

DTs James was VIC % Weh ~ w.
Foot Upon the Lofty Pinnacle.
Tradition relates that the early
American explorer who assembled
Pixies peak found there a rough
altar OF blocks Of granite that cover
the summit, erected by earlier Mex
ican explorers. The piety, the cour-
age, the curiosity, the adventurous
spirit, the thirst for gold-distin-
gushing characteristics Of the early
Spaniards - render it probable
enough that they explored the
neghboring mountains and that they
assembled to the summit Of Pixies
peak.
History does not record any such
ascent, however. Captain Pike, as
he records in his diary, never as
cended the summit Of the grand
mountain, which is today his great
est monument. On the bleak No"
vember day he and his party had
ascended the ridge in the southeast,
in the midst of gathering snow
storm, and then gave up the at
tempt, he made this statement In
his diary:
"The summit of the grand peak,
which was entirely bare OF vegeta-
ton and covered with snow, now
appeared at distance Of fifteen or
sixteen miles from us, and as high
again as that we had assembled. 1t
would have taken a whole days
march to have arrived at its base,
and | believe no human could have
assembled to its summit"
The distinction Of being the first
white man-and as far as historical
records go, the first man-who ever
set foot upon the lofty pinnacle, be-
longs to DR.. Edwin S. James, who,
with three unknown men and a vol
unteer named Harris, reached the
summit on July IA, 1919. DR..
James was a member of the party
headed by Major S. H. Long, who
was sent out in 1919 by Secretary of
War j. c. Calhoun, in charge Of
"an expedition from Pittsburgh to
the Rocky mountains"
The party followed the Platte
river from the Missouri, reached
the mountains in June and explored
the country along the range from
the Cache la Poudre to the Arkan-
sas, among the prominent features
mapped out being the great peak
head, the head of the Cache la
Poudre, which today bears Major
Longs name. On July 13, 1919,
the party encamped at the famous
Tndian Medicine Springs" From
here DR.. James and his four follow
ers started to ascend, probably
through Engleman's canyon, what
he designated as the ''highest peak"
Starting early in the morning, they
reached the summit about 4 o'clock,
and after an hours rest began to
descend, spending the night on the
side of the mountain. They reach
ed the springs at noon of the next
day.-Colorado Springs Gazette.

A Really Poor Author.

When DR.. Johnson was resident
of Grub street he made the ac-
quaintance OF poet named Samuel
Boyse, whose poem on the Deity
and other works had earned him
high praise. Boyse could not go
abroad to seek work because his
clothes were in pawn, so he lay abed
with his arms thrust through two
holes in the insective blanket, which
was the only covering, writing and
starving. Johnson raised enough
money to get his clothes for him,
but two days later Boyse was in bed
again, eating a stew of beef and
mushrooms purchased by the re-
pawning of his suit. 81 might a;
well eat while may" he said, "fol
must some day starve, whether ]
will or not"

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
A TULIP CRAZE.
BY A. w. MACY.

The world saw something new
under the sun In the seven
teenth century, In tho way Of a
tulip craze. II began In Hol-
land, and spread all over
Europe. There was a marvel
Gus demand for tho bulbs, and
Intense rivalry In producing
new varieties. Rare ones sold
at fabulous prices. One man ls
said to have paid $500 for a
single bulb. Sometimes the
ownership Of a bulb was dIvld-
ed into shares. People simply
went wild on the subject Of tu-
lips. Bulbs were often bar
gained for before they came In
to existence, and many were
sold that never did exist. Men
gambled In tulips somewhat az
they now speculate In wheat.
Whole fortunes were Invested
In tho plants, and many veal
thy families were financially
ruined by the craze.
