DUBUQUE COLLEGE.

Tuesday, September IA, marked the
opening of Dubuque College, the be-
ginning of the forty-third year in its
history. The prospects are that this
will be banner year for attendance
and the college is well equipped to
care for the large increase in its stu
dent body. Many improvements about
the buildings and the campus were
made during the vacation period and
all is in readiness for the opening of
the fall session.
While the faculty proper remains
about the same as last year. three new
members have been added to the list
Father Lawrence Craney will be
procurator succeeding Professor
Flynn, the new county superintendent
of schools; Father John Byrne will
teach English, and Mr.. Gregory
Endres, a former graduate, will be a
member of the teaching staff and will
assist in the musical department.
A class of eighteen young men
graduated from the collegiate depart
ment last June, and seventeen grad
yates will prepare for the priesthood.
The greater number will go to Saint
Paul Seminary, st. Paul, Mimi, while
several are scheduled to pursue their
studies at the historic seminary of
Baltimore, and few will enter at Mil
waukee. Three or four of the young
men had planned to take the four
year course in preparation for the
priesthood at European universities
but the war, which has upset all of
Europe, also upset the plans OF the
students from the local institution.
The heads of the different depart
ments OF the College are planning for
big year in their respective lines.

JESUS MASTER

(h0SeItd NelIys1
Golden wheat and purple grape.
The harvest is ripe,
But the laborers rest,
The sun dieth In the West,
So late, so late the hour.
The Master waiteth
At the gate,
Lord of life, and power.
Hasten men and maidens, too,
Clean the golden wheat;
Press the purple grape.
The Master waiteth
At the gate,
Waiteth long-for You.
Thrice Blessed Bread,
Thrice Blessed Wine,
Thou dost fill wondrous part;
In this Mystery Sublime,
BY the Priestly Word Divine,
'Incarnate God" Thou art.
Angels linger in thy embrace,
Till thou hast found a resting pIac,
In some poor human heart,
Jesus Master
Lord of Love, Thou art.
The harvest is ripe,
But Iaborers few;
The Master waiteth at the gate
OF Eternal Love
For You.

railways. In that place Of exile there

spend their lives In little huts along

sns.d Of Waterfowl.

Waterfowl have great powers OF
flight. The canvasback duck covers
from 100 to leo feet a second. The
blue winged teal and the green winged
teal the bluebIn and the redheads are
only a little slower. Mallards, pintatls,
wood ducks, black ducks and others
can easily fly faster than a mile min
ute. Even such large birds as cranes,
swans, pelicans and geese can fly at a
speed OF more than 100 feet a second.
The speed Of waterfowl has often
been measured with great accuracy.
Two men take positions on a duck pass
a measured distance apart. The first
man carries a stop watch and a gun,
the second a gun only. As the fowl
pass the first blind the timer shoots In
order to frighten the birds into full
speed and starts his watch. As the
ducks pass the second blind the man
there fires a shot, and the timer stops
his watch The usual length OF the
course Is a quarter Of a mile, although
a mile track" is sometimes used

Hard Water,

Do you realize how hard water Is
when a boat sails through it at full
speed? Water passing at fifty miles
an hour is not the hmpid liquid we are
accustomed to battle in. II you put
your arm overheard from a hydro
plane running fifty miles an hour and
strike a wave crest the probability Is
that you will break your arm or wrist,
because at that speed the water has
not time to give or even to change
shape. and striking it is like striking

the great hydraulic quarries, where a
stream Of water under enormous head
is used to wash down hillsides, and at

being able TO penetrate the water. The

Strictly speaking, spots on the sun

not account for them definitely, but
they are supposed to be floating masses

the main body OF the sun to form OBJ

The Listener.

Years ago some one said that q
good listener is preferred TO a poor
talker." And every one who has OBJ
served good listeners or listened to
poor takers have come to the eORclu-
sion that the fellow knew what he was
saying.
There is quite as much art in listen
ing as there is in talking Simply to
remain quiet does not signify that one
Is listening. To listen means to pay
attention. 1t implies that one Is learn
ing something. 1t is in line with the
words of the waC concerning the owl,
which runs something like this:
A wise old owl lived in an oak,
The more he heard the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why are we not like that wise old bird

Ana of Granita

It used to be thought that granite
was the oldest Of all rocks and that II
formed the globes first crust Now,
however, biologists believe that gran
ite may be Of any age or epoch. The
GRANTEES found in Germany and the
Vosges mountains Of France date from
one period Of the worlds history, those
found in the British Isles from an en-
tirely different period and those found
in the United States from still other
periods. Enormous pressure, combin-
ed with heat and water, must have
been necessary to produce granite.
Some scientists declare that the gran
ties In the highlands OF Scotland must
have been formed when 60.0O0 feet OF
everything rocks we're piled above them
and that those OF Cornwall required
10000 feet Of rock pressure. In other
localities II Is estimated that the pres
sures under which granite consolidated
must have been equal to that Of an
everything mass OF rock nine miles In
thickness.-New York American

There are many different kinds OF
questions, but, roughly speaking. they
all may be included I'm the following
three divisions; first. those which can
be answered; second, those which may
be answered; third. those which should
not be answered Illustrating the first
division are those questions which 9TH

you never care To hear others answer;
the second includes questions which
are pointed. private. public, perplexing

A Hint to Golfers.

II there is one part of the game more
than another that is likely to try the
golfers patience to the utmost II Is
putting. When we consider that half
Of the game Of golf is on the putting
green Is not this n good reason why
we should be proficient at It? But how
are we TO overcome this weakness on
the greens?
The only real sound theory that Is
known for putting is TO swing your
putter on a dead straight line through
the ball toward the hole You can
practice this method by putting the end
Of the putter head close up to a wall
and practice swinging your putter back
and forth. A pendulum movement Is
best, keeping the end OF the putter
close to the wall Try it and see II It
does not help your holing out-Outing.

Climate Varsity In Chile,

Chile has a coast line Of 1000 miles
and the breadth OF the country varies
from only 100 to $50 miles. The crest
Of the Andes marks the eastern boun-
dairy and the Pacific ocean the western.
The coast chain and the principal cor
dillera Of the Andes traverse the cOun-
try longitudinally. Between them lies
the central valley, the great agricu[
tural section OF the country. In the
north are the arid deserts which con-
tain the nitrates. In the south Is the
Chilos archipelago and the mainland
where the rains are frequent and con-
slant The long stretch Of coast and
the variations due TO the mountain
chains afford every variety OF climate,
but the greater section Of the country
may be said TO have a temperate eli
mate. The mineral resources are the
natural wealth which furnish the ma
jor part OF the purchasing powef.-New
