will of the late Gordon Mckay, to
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
noIogy will not be objected to by the
state, according to Attorney General
Attwill, who renders the opinion that
the transfer will be a public benefit.
The fund was designed to establish

said the school should teach particular

SONG SPARROW AN OPTlMlST
CHEEKY Bird, Permanent Resident,
Asks Little for Services, Which
Are Valuable.

The song sparrow cheeryvoiced
forerunner OF spring, is the subject of
an article by Miss Harriet E. Bancroft,
which appears In the Ohio Arbor and
Bird Day Manual, issued by the state
department of public instruction for
use in the schools. In telling about
the song sparrow Miss Bancroft says
There are so many different kinds
of small, sober-hued birds, which look
alike, and yet are not alike, that you
wonder how you are to distinguish this
one from the others. Each bird has
his recognition mark and song spar
rows is the spot in the middle of his
speckled breast; and while in color
he is Of the earth, earthly, and bears
upon his breast spot, you must not
think that these are the outward signs
Of an inward blemish because he
hasn't any.
There is great variation in the hab-
its of different sparrows with respect
to migration. The tree sparrow is
with us only in winter, the field spar
row is a summer bird, the white
crowned migrant; that is, he pays US
a short visit in the spring and again in
the fall, while on his way to more re-
mota regions; but song sparrow is a
permanent resident in nearly all parts
Of the state He shares with us the
storms as we'll as the sunshine Of the
rouaded year.
His cone-shaped bill tells you that
he is a seed-eating bird and the weeds
yield him a plentiful supply Of them.
He also eats slugs and worms and
ground-inhabiting insects when they
are to be had, and his choice of diet
makes him a valuable assistant to the
farmer. He helps him in his warfare
on troublesome weeds and harmful in
sects.
1T is not too much to say that who
ever or whatever helps the farmer to
grow better crops, helps the whole
world along; but song sparrow's serv.
ices do not stop here; his finest is that
which he renders to our weary spirits
when he cheers them with his song.
For all the help he gives he asks
nothing in return but the privilege Of
living out his little life unmolested.
1T is said that he and his mate will
raise three and even four broods in a
season, If the weasels, the red squir-
rels, the cats, the crows, the hawks,
the blacksnakes and other ill-disposed
creatures do not harry their lowly
nest, which distressing occurrence is
all too frequent"

He turns TO the speaking tube be,
side him, when he has sighted the
enemy's ship, and orders the engineeS
! to cut off the power for a moment.
while he verifies his observation. A
moment later he gives the order to
submerge to the desired depth This
depth is seldom more than from twen-
ty to forty feet, for the pressure Of the
water against the sides of the vessel
| Is terrific even then.
To submerge the vessel, the en-
| gineer turns a valve, and the water
tanks at the bottom of the ship be-
| gin to fill With an easy motion the
boat drops well below the surface.
Then the electric engines, driven
by storage batteries and subsidiary to
the powerful heavy oil motors, like the
self-starting device on the automobile,
are started at the command of the
man who until a moment ago was at
the periscope. Now his hands are on
the steering wheel, and by the aid OF
the compass he makes his way toward
the vessel which he hopes to send to
the bottom.
Occasionally he will rise high
enough to use his periscope for fur
ther observation and calculation.
Then, when he is within a thousand
yards or even less of his mark he
will order the boat stopped He will
turn to his speaking tube and direct
the crew to slide one of the torpedoes
into one of the forward tubes.
Before it is loaded the safety attach
ment on the torpedos nose is re-
moved. The compressed air engine
which operates the miniature subma-
rine-a torpedo is just that's start
ed, and the torpedo is shot out Of the
tube by compressed air.
The most modern type Of automatic
torpedoes can be adjusted by gyro-
scopic device so that they will trrn
as desired in their course as far as
80 degrees and with IN accuracy of
direction which is nothing short Of
uncanny.
A moment after the explosion the
periscope is again brought into action
to see how badly the ship which has
been struck has been damaged. II
desirable, another torpedo will be dis
charged.
When its gruesome business is at
an end the submarine sinks to a safe
depth to avoid disaster from an enc
my's destroyer. The electric stove
cooks the food for the crew; the
automatic exhausts take care Of any
waste material which may accumu-
late in the ship, and the oxygen is re-
newed chemically.
In emergencies the dozen COM
pressed air tanks at the bottom Of the
ship can be used to supply oxygen to
the crew. When the boat is miles
from the scene it rises 10 the surface,
where its speed is almost doubled.
The latest submarines go even one
better They have wheels below the
keel, which make them, in fact, deep
sea automobiles. They can slip slow
" over the bottom, displacing mines
and steal unharmed into an enemy's
harbor.
When the work of destruction is
complete they can make their getaway
with all the calmness of a holdup
man with a friend on the force.

Rnnnet de I,laIe Honored.

The war has accomplished another
thing, and this is the recognition the
French nation is finally to accord to
Rouget de rIsle, the author Of the
"Marseillaise." According to the plans
formulated by M. Pierre Giffard,
writes a Paris correspondent of the
London Standard a bill is to be
brought into the chamber Of deputies
authorizing the placing of the remains
of the famous Frenchman in the
Pantheon.
There is little doubt that the bill
will pass, since it is openly admitted
that never yet in the French history Of
the last 100 years has the battle hymn
of the French republic played such an
important role as at present.

Water for an Army.

One of the numberless tasks of the
general staff of great army is to pro-
vide water for the soldiers and the
horses. The Scientific American de-
scribes some of the methods en-
ployed. Only running water is used.
In the German army the upstream
water is used for drinking, and the
downstream water for watering the
horses and for bathing. Suitable
signs notify the men which water they
may safely drink and which they may
use only for bathing. In shallow or
narrow streams basins are dug or
small dams built, in order to form
reservoirs of sufficient size. Stepping
stones are put down so that no one
need walk through the water. and the
banks are shored up with boards to
keep them from crumbling into the
water. Basins are dug at which to
water the horses; when troughs have
to be used, they are supported on
posts and filled by means of pumps.
If water lies at a reasonable depth
from the surface-that is, not more
than twenty feet-pipes are driven
that, according to their size, deliver
from four to twenty-five gallons Of
water a minute. If the water lies very
near the surface, a hole Is dug, and
a cask, the bottom of which has been
knocked out, is put into the hole to
hold the sides in place and to pro-
tect the water from dirt. If the wa.
ter lies at a greater depth, box Sec
tions are driven in, one on top of an.
other, to the required depth.
