RESEAR il CENTER IS
URGED FOR ENGINEERS
Would Have Laboratories Like
Those Of Germany.

New York.-Research laboratories the
equal of those of Germany are under
consideration by Columbia university,
according to the report of Dean Freder-
ick A. Goethe of the Graduate Engi-
neering school.
After outlining the successful re-
search work accomplished by DR.. Wal
ter Rittman and Professors Armstrong
and Pupin in the field of wireless te-
lephony and telegraphy Dean Goetzes
report says:
"There is no doubt that much could
and should be done to extend our engi-
neering research and to make it Of
even greater value to the university
and to the industries of our country.
MANY Of us are firmly convinced
that this can best be accomplished by
establishing on site of ample area
easily accessible to the university, but
among neighbors who will not be too
particular as to the smells and noises
which we will create, laboratories AIDE
quately equipped for all branches Of
industrial engineering research and adj
ministered by the heads of our engi-
neering departments, to which manu-
facturers and practicing engineers
could turn for the solution of problems
which are beyond the scope of their
equipment or the capabilities of their
force
"In my mind these laboratories
should be patterned after those of the
German Reichsanstalt, connected with
the Technische Hoclschule at Chariot
tenburg, and located in the outskirts
| of Berlin.
IF Columbia were to establish lab
Oratories of this kind equipped with
| every facility for experimentation and
! research, with the staff of our technl-
cal schools available for consultation
and advice, manufacturers and indi-
vidual experts would be glad to avail
! themselves of these facilities and to
establish research fellowships for solv-
ing their industrial and engineering
problems.
'"The cost will depend largely upon
the site, which should be close to tide
water and railroad facilities. We would
need at least 100000 for start and
for extension and endowment later on
from $2,OOOOOO to $5,OO0O0O will be
needed

Frieden Shoe Store
Narcotics in Egypt.
VERY DESIRABLE INDEED

The limited field in Egypt for the
sale of manufactured tobacco other
than cigarettes would hardly warrant
it's manufacture there on large scale.
The native smokes cigarettes and
tombac. Tombac is a mixture OF to-
bacco and other ingredients, and is
smoked in the water pipe. TIE local
Greeks and Italians, of whom there
are large colonies, smoke cigarettes
and the cheaper grades of cigars. The
higher grades of cigars and pipe to-
bacco are smoked by the better class
of Europeans.

Enemy of the fern.

One of the worst enemies Of ferns in
doors is the mealy bug. This is a
white, woolly insect that cings close
to the bottom of the frOnds. When
there is reason to suspect it's pres
ence the plant should be examined
every day and all insects removed
with a splinter or toothpick. If the
infestation is bad, the whole top OF
the fern can be cut off to within an
inch of the ground and then allowed
to grow again after all the insects
have been eXterminated.

Plainly Expressed.

A certain rector in a small English
village who was disliked in the parish
had a curate who was very popular,
ed with a testimonial This excited
the envy and wrath of the rector and,
meeting with an old lady one day, he
said: Il am surprised Mrs. Bloom,
that you should have subscribed to
this testimonial" Why, sir" said
the old lady, if you'd been a~going
I'd have subscribed double"

A Happy Tree.


ooh, look at me-"
Sang the Christmas tree
A jolly young evergreen
I'm dressed up here
For a show, that's clear,
And I'm anxious to be seen.
To grow in a wood
Is very good
Of air you've a trif1e more
But I declare
1t cannot compare
To a block on the parlor floor!
You may stand in the cold
Till q century old,
Not a blossom to speak of comes,
But here in an hour
I'm all in flower
With mittens and dolls and drums.
/ know SO we'll
And daven't to tell
So much that I'm like to burst;
There's 4 mystery hung
Or a secret swung
On each branch from last to first.
How I'd love to shout
All my feelings out.
But I daren't even cough
And just the half
Of a great big laugh
Would shake all my candles off.
So I have to hide
All the fun inside
Till I'm full as l can be.
Whatever folks say,
I'm king of the day!"
Sang the jolly Christmas tree.

What the Fishes Can See.

Fishes can distinguish one color
from another and can even distinguish
between different shades of the same
color. This has been proved by long
series Of experiments upon gobies and
sticklebacks, undertaken by Mile.
Marie Goldsmith in the biological la
bOratOry at Roscoff, France, under the
direction Of Professor Delage. These
also proved that fishes can distinguish
between the forms or shapes of OBJ
jects.
