HONORS FOR YEAR OF
1915.

Valley Championships, Ties
for a Third and Places
Second in

The athletic year of 1916 has
been the most successful i'll the,
history of the University of Mis-
souri,. Its close places the Uni
vcrsity as leader Of all branches
Of athletics in the Missouri Valley
and one Of the greatest schools OF
the West and Middle West in all
sports. During the past year,
Missouri teams have won the foot
ball and track championship Of
the Missouri Valley. have tied fog
first place with Kansas for the
baseball championship and tied
for second place with the same
institution for the basketball
championship.

several Western conference and
Missouri Valley records and was
also the star Of the Americans

Big Magnesite Deposit.

A dazzling white chalky bluff a
few miles above St. Thomas, in Clark
county, Nevada, has, been called kao-
lin, and it has been successfully tried
as a porcelain clay, but the United
States geological survey has recent
ly shown it to be an immense deposit
of magnesite, or magnesium carbon
ate. The mass is part of a series of
regular sedimentary strata exposed
by, streams cutting a low ridge OF
Muddy valley. The material is de-
scribed as porcelain-white, fine-grain-
ed, massive and remarkably free
from foreign substance, but softer
than much magnesite, and crumbling
on exposure. The deposit lis thought
to be as much as a mile long, with
an aggregate thickness of the beds
OF as much as 200 feet. California
supplies yearly about 10000 tons OF
magnesite, which goes mostly into
the manufacture of wood pulp paper
but there is a rapidly increasing de-
mand for such purposes as cement
floors, artificial marble and tile, stuc-
co for exterior finish, and fire-retard-
ing paint. This mineral is also a con-
venient source of carbon dioxide.

Density of Snow.

The density of snow varies great
ly and by gauging it's specific light
ness by the number of millimetres
in height that will produce one milli-
metre of water, M. Mongin, the
French meteorologist, finds the range
to be from 200 to 1.3. The snowfall
on mountains is estimated in a num-
Der of ways. One method is to meas
ure the height accumulated on a
board one meter square supported
one meter above the ground, and
then sliding it into zinc tank for
determining the water it makes on
melting. Another type of instrument
is a tube, which is pushed down
through the snow, then closed at the
bottom by shovel to retain: the con-
tents of the tube on withdrawal. In
remote places, visited only at con-
siderable intervals, the snow is col
lected in tank, only the snow water
for a stated period being measured.
Vaseline oil in the tank covers the
water, preventing evaporation, and
calcium chloride hastens the melting
of the snow.

FREAK WALK WINS $40, 600.
Trip backwards from Seattle is Made
i'm 239 Days.

Somebody out in Seattle lost a bet
of $50, 900 when Patrick Harmon ar
rived at the city hall walking back
ward and asked Lieut. Billy Kennel
to confirm his, presence. Harmon
had a rejecting mirrow contraptlon
strained to his back and was accom-
panied by w. A. Baltazor, who walk
ed as folk usually walk-face for
ward. to prove that Harmon accom-
plished the feat. The feat was walk
ing backward from Seattle to New
York in $50 days. That was the
limit set, but Harmon did it in 239
DAYS, three weeks ahead of time.
Harmon, who is so years old, an
nounced that two men in a Seattle
club had wagered with each other
chat he could not walk to New York
backward in 260 days, and backed
I'D their opinion with $4,000 each.
Harmon will get $4,000 for the job
and Baltazor 81 a day for being the
transcontinental watchman. Harmon
said he had little difficulty doing the
freak stunt, but he lost eleven days
through illness and took two weeks
IN overcome dizziness due to his un-
usual method of pedal locomotion.-

Rally.

During the Civil war there was a
man in Early's cavalry who always
ran away when he got the chance
In one of the battles with Sheridan
when things were going against the
Confederates, this man took out for
the rear as usual, riding as fast as
his horse could carry him. Every
time he passed group of Confed-
crate troops he would wave his sabe1
and shout, "Rally, boys! Rally!
and then ride on faster than ever
Finally he rode through the whole
outfit and came to General Early
sitting on his horse among his stan
officers. He was too much excited to
notice who they we're, but still waved
his sword and shouted: Rally
boys! Rally"
"Where in blazes are you going?
'sI was rallying your troops, sir;
the enemy are driving us back!'
"H-m-mm." The general looked
over him coldly. "Orderly, take that
man back to the firing line and give
him a fresh start. Any man who can
rally the whole Confederate army is
too valuable to be wasted. st

HATE TO WASH DISHES.
WAYS to Make Easier This Disagree
able Task.

If you were to ask all the house
keepers you know what part of the
housework they dislike the most, the
| answer would almost invariably be,
''Dish washing" Yet if this work is
managed properly it need not be a
disagreeable task. In the first
place, one should possess the neces-
sary equipment for the work-a
large dish pan, plenty of hot water,
dish clothes, mops and dry towels.
i Scrape the crumbs from the dishes
before they are taken from the din
ing room and stack the dishes in
piles, according to size. You will
| find a tray cart a great convenience
in carrying the dishes from one room
to another, for everything can be put
on it and taken at once, instead of
| making a dozen trips, as many house
keepers do. Put a tablespoonful of
washing powder in, stir it up, and you
will have a fine suds for washing
dishes. A dish mop will save your
hands and do the work as we'll as a
cloth.
Wash the glassware first, rinse in
warm water and dry with a soft tow
ell kept for that purpose. Wash the
china next, putting all pieces in a
draining rack which will hold them
upright and pour your polling water
over them. They will be ready to
put away on the shelves in a few
minutes, thus dispensing with the
drying, which usually takes as much
time as the washing. The silverware
is washed next, then the cooking
utensils, which should always be fill
ed with cold water as soon as the
food is taken out of them. If any
thing sticks to the bottom of an
iron kettle, remove it with a chain
dishrag or kettle scraper, never with
a spoon or knife. The dish towels
should be washed, rinsed and dried
every time they are used to keep
them in good condition.-Southern
Rura1ist.
