idea an arraignment of President
Charles r. Van Hise, and Senator
Bennett said that such debate was i'll
advised. Mr.. Van Hise, he said, had
appeared before the committee to give
it the benefit of a frank and honest
discussion of the subject under con-
siderahon. More than that, Mr.. Van
Hise offered constructive suggestions
to the committee, and the disposition
to make a personal attack upon him
evidently did not make a hit with
the committee, despite the fact that
the committee is strongly disposed to
favor some change in the administra-
ton of affairs as they relate to the
state university, the normal schools
and the Stout training school.
At the close of the hearing on the
Van Gordon bill, it was announced
that the committee would draft new
DILL 1t has not been intimated to
what extent the Van Gordon measure
Will be modified in the substitute, but
it is likely that the ideas of President
Van Hise will receive very serious
consideration in the new measure.
President Van Hise said that he was
opposed to any change in the present
system which would result in the
establishment of a salaried board to
have supervision of the business af.
fairs of the university. He was OPP
posed to the abolition of separate and
independent boards which could give
special attention to the interests Of
the university, the normal schools
and the Stout training school
Makes Two Specific Suggestions.
He offered two specific suggestions
to the committee; one to provide for a
board of estimates and appointments
TO arrange a budget for all educational
institutions of the state; another to
create a commissioner Of education to
make study of the whole subject of
education in the interest of the great
est efficiency in the various branches,
including the common schools. 1t
seemed to be generally agreed that
the common schools Of Wisconsin
have not received their share Of the
money appropriated for educational
purposes, and that these schools
should be improved for the reason
that they represent the only university
that is known to the great majority
Of young men and women.
Some of those who appeared for the
central board idea made charges
against the university, alleging that
the institution maintains lobby be-
fore the legislature, that some Of the
professors give no more than eleven
hours a week to their work and that
there is extravaganza in administra-
tion-

London, April 5.-The American
steamer Greenbrier, from Charleston,

The crew was landed at Wyk, in
Schleswig.
The Greenbrier was detained at
Kirkwall, Orkney island, on March 13
for investigation by the British au-
thorities and sailed for Bremen after
delay of three days. She arrived in
Bremen on March %. 1t is supposed
she was on the return trip.

The submarine pursued the Lock
wood for several miles before being
able to gain a position from which
she could discharge her torpedo. The
projectile struck the steamer abaft
the engine-room, but the crew of 25

they were picked up by a trawler and
brought into port
1t was learned here that the Brit
ish steamer Eston, until recently
known as the Southpoint, was sunk
off Lundy island. on the Devonshire

with cargo after the European war
started. The steamer was formerly a
United Fruit company boat in the
Central American trade, but was sold
late last July to a syndicate at a re-
ported price of $4,000
The Greenbrier was built at Hartle-
pool, England, in 1893, and was rated
as Of 1881 gross tonnage.

Snaka,a Sixth Senaa.

That the snake has real sixth sense
by which 1t finds Its mate In the woods
and unerrlngly trails its prey is the
belief Of man who is a special stu
dent of snakes. The seat of this SENSE
Of direction is supposed to be the curl
GUS forked tongue, which can hav,
none Of the uses to which the tOngu,
is usually applied, but is a feeler anc
more and Is necessarily darting aboui
as the snake travels. A lizard was
seen to come from beneath a house IL
the woods, take zigzag course anC
disappear under a box ten feet away
Two minutes later a black snake ap
peared, passed over the lizards exact
course. keeping the tongue constantly
seeking the trail, and, darting under
the box, quickly emerged with the liz
ard in its jaw. Many other observa
tons seem to prove that the tip of the
tongue is the guide.-Exchange.

Burning 1yron's Autobiography

May II, 1924, witnessed a famous
literary bonfire-the solemn burning Of
Byron's autobiography. The manu-.
script had been given by the poet to
Thomas Moore on the sole condition
that 1t should not be published until
after his death. Moore sold the MS. t.
John Murray for 1900 guineas, but
after Byron's death In the spring OF
1924 he and others began to doubt the
propriety Of printing it. Lord John
Russell and Washington Irving, to
whom 1t was submitted, declared 1t toe
gross and libelous for publication, and
Murray, generously foregoing his claim
to the money advanced to Moore, call
ed council of Byron's friends, which
met In the publishers drawing room al
Albemarle street on the evening OF
May II, and committed the manuscript
to the flames.-London Chronicle.

Although the cultivation OF cinnamon
on the plantations In French Indo-
China is constantly increasing, most
Of the product Is obtained from q Wild
shrub (Cinnamomum louroir) growing
In the forest. When native discovers
a cinnamon tree he must make dec
laration before the local administra-
ton which cuts down the tree and au-
thenticates Its product. The profits ac-
cruing to the discoverer Of single
tree sometimes reach n large sum.
This industry is almost exclusively in
the hands OF Chinese merchants Of
Faifo. The variety most priced rs the
wild royal cinnamon of Thanhhoa,
which is thought by the Chinese to
possess high medicinal value. II

near the front Of the entrance ant

down three times as soon as the sup

hymn Translation Problams.

1t is not the translation Of hymns
alone that the missionary in Africa
finds awkward. Mr.. Dudley Kidd tells
how an old Kaffir woman who was be
ing taught the Lords Prayer went
wrong at "thy kingdom come" suhst-
tuting for come a word that made
nonsense. The missionary, Indy, cor
rected her. But again and again the
hopeless word was persisted in, and
tho other Kafflr women present laugh
ed. At last they vouchsafed the ex-
planat1on. It appeared that the word
for "come" contained the emphatic ayl-
liable Of the name Of tho woman's hus-
band, and according to the KAflr Gus
tom no married woman, mny prOnounce
such a syllable. The missionary her
self, whose name was Green, caused
terrible scandal by using that word In
speaking of some goosebeTries.-Lon-

Homina Instinct In Crabs.

Every one has heard Of the homing
instinct of birds and Of insects, bnt Ills
somewhat of a surprise to be todd that
animals as low In the scale Of nature
as crabs have a similar instinct The
experiment has been tried IN England
Of capturing crabs, marking them for
Identification and releasing them long
distances from their homes. The most
interesting example was that oGga male
and female captured together in n
trap and carefully marked and then
taken long distances away into anoth-
er county and released at different
places far apart from each other Lat
er the two were caught together again
in a trap In their original home, show
ing that they had not only returned to
their home, but had found each other
and had again mated. This homing in
stinct had enabled them to go from the
county of Lincolnshire back to their
original home in Yorkshire.
