Dr. Richard Vim. Sylvester. whom de-
Ginning health in 1912 forced TO retire after
20 years' presidency Of the Maryland
Agricultural College. at College Park. Nd.
died on the afternoon Of Sunday last from
pneumonia. at the Union Protestant In
Urinary. Baltimore.
Dr.. Sylvester became i'll three days before
death occurred. and was taken at once
from his home at 0quasco. Prince Georges
county. to the Baltimore hospital 1t was
seen from the first that his condition was
acute. and since Saturday his death had
been expected.
Burial was in the cemetery at Ports
mouth. in which his parents are inferred
DR.. Sylvester, having instinctively love
for nature that was his birthheht as a
farmer boy. being imbued with the idea that
farming should be elevated to the degree Of
science and possessing withal unusual abil-
ity to disseminate by teaching the convic-
tons that determined his career. attained a
high place among Maryland educators
When he left the college after completing
two decades as its director he had built il
up from a modest building school with
handful Of students to great institu-
ton. housed in half a dozen big structures
which was looked upon as one Of the fore
most agricultural colleges Of the nation.
He had done more; he had been largely
instrumental in planting the seed Of a new
agricultural era in Maryland. For years
he had lectured before farmers institutes,
he had taught the sons of these men new
and economical principles Of agriculture,
and to other educators he had given his
message. addressing annually large num-
bers Of teachers bodies. And biennially.
throughout his administration, he had
hammered away at Legislatures until the
States appropriations for the college kept
up with the growing pace Of the institu-
tons rapid expansion.
DR.. Sylvester was born in Norfolk Septem-
Der Is. 1857. and was the son Of the late
W. W. and Virginia Lindsay Sylvester. His
father was Virginia planter Of the Old
school and the son spent his boyhood on
the plantation. His family dates back in
America to 1854. when the first Sylvester
came from England and settled at Great
Mills. Norfolk county. Va.
His teaching career began when he be-
came instructor in natural sciences and
mathematics in Charlotte Hall Academy
In ST. Mary's county. Md. In 1882 be was
made full professor at the academy. He
always had the desire to 60 back to farm
life, in theory II not actually, so he gladly
accepted his appointment in 1892 as presi-
dent Of the State college.
On April II, 1888. he married Miss Lucy
Lee Bowen, daughter Of Philander Bowen.
Of WOOdleieh, d. C. She. his son and
daughter make up the surviving family.

To Eat While Fishing.

The fisherman need not lose any
time from his sport in order to eat,
but may have his hands free for at
tending to his needs if he is equipped
with the new fishing harness described
in the Popular Science Monthly. This
harness supports the fishing pole in the
proper position for the line to make a
catch, and the fisherman need not hold
his arms in one position until they are
cramped and aching while he is wait
ing for a fish to find his bait.
The device includes body belt hav-
ing a socket which receives the butt
Of the fishing pole. A second socket
on the belt supports a bracket arm
which extends part way out under the
pole and in turn provides a support or
rest for it. A body strap and chain at
tached to this brace, affords all the ad-
ditional support necessary. Equipped
with this device the fisherman may
enjoy his fishing uninterruptedly.

How Rabbits Multiply.

How fast two rabbits will develop
into an army Is an old story. A pair
has six to eight little rabbits, some
times as many as % every three
months. These in turn are raising
families in six months, so that 1t Is a
backward hutch that does not end the
wear with so rabbits. OF these, 40 can
be sold, leaving nine families to start
the second year instead of two as the
year previous. The second year should
show between 300 and $50 rabbits sold,
a considerable crop from the original
pair of young ones, which cost between
so cents and 81.

DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS WAR
Resident of New York Was Astounded
When He Learned United States
Was Fighting Germany.

In this big town, where everybody ID
supposed to be hep to big events,
man was discovered who, for the first
time, learned that this country Is at
war with Germany, says the New York
Times. The man is loyal Polish
American. He suspects that he Is alive,
knows that he is employed regularly,
but beyond that he is not even curious.
A policeman saw the Pole sweeping
off the steps of hotel where he Is en-
ployed as porter. The officer also noted
the wide stretch Of shoulders, consld-
cred the collapsible brow, estimated
the porter's age, and asked him II he
had a CONSUMPTION card. "For whatT
asked the porter. "For the army" ex-
planned the policeman. 'But l got
nice job here" smiled the man, indi'
eating the broom and the growing dust
pile. "That's all right" said the guar
dian of the law, "but you have to reg
lister. All young men have to register
until the war is over" "The WARP"
howled the Pole; "what war? Have we
got q war yet? Spain? mo; Ger
many" The porter looked amazed.
You want me to join?" he asked.
"Sure, I join" and, deserving the work
in hand and acting precisely like an en-
thusiastic volunteer, the man strolled
down to make his mark on the neces-
sary papers.
