Course Of your Tears.

=
Have you ever noticed two tiny holes
at the nose end Of each eye? Prob
ably not, for they are very tiny, like
pinholes. But If you look at your eye
carefully in mirror you will find
them. They are tear ducts or tubes.
Your tears start behind your eyebrows,
at the narrow end Of the eye. They
pass out below the eyelids, and the
blinking Of the eyelids carries them to-
ward the other end Of the eye, where
the ducts or overflow pipes collect and
carry them down into your nose. That
is why you are apt to blow your nose
when you cry.
A flow Of tears is going on all the
time to lubricate the eyeball. It Is
only when you are under powerful
emotion that they overflow.

Madrid's Fearful Climate,

Madrid is afflicted with the most
changeable climate of any European
capital. The temperature varies from
as much as 1O7 degrees in the summer
to as little as 16 degrees in the win.
ter, and at all seasons Of the year ii
INDUCES in violent fluctuations. 1t Is
by no means uncommon in December
to wake up with the thermometer reg.
istering about 20 degrees and to find
it mount to more than 60 degrees by
the afternoon. No wonder, therefore
that lung troubles are far more preva.
lent in Madrid than in Petrograd.-

Conqusrina q Critic.

William Simpson, British artist
who accompanied the army during the
Crimean war, said that Lord Cardigan,
the commander, examined his early
sketches Of Balaklava with "a vacant
stare" CURLY remarking, 1T is all
wrong" Still Simpson persevered and
was rewarded in the end with the
expression Of Lord Cardigan's highest
admiration"
1.-The real truth was," Simpson adds
in his simple way, that in the last
sketch had taken greater care than
in the first two to make his lordship
conspicuous in the front of the bri-
gade"

Eating an EGG.

Is there any corner of the earth
where the homely egg has not found
its way? It forms substantial food
to all nations, and it is not curious that
different nationalities have different
ways of demolishing this eatable.
Eating an egg with a spoon would
be sacrilege to Spaniard. He boils
bis egg just one minute, then breaks
the contents into a glass and drinks It
as If It were wine. The Italians place
their egg in cold water and remove It
just as the water boils. Then they
break it on a plate and eat it with
bread.
English cooking prevails in France
in regard to the egg. Three minutes
in boiling water is the rule. It is then
Broken into a glass and mixed togeth-
err with salt, pepper and butter.-Lon-

Frse Water In the Earth.

The amount of water held In the
rocks OF other materials. composing the
earth varies greatly, owing to&many
causes. The amount sabsorbed de-
ponds on the poros1ty Of the material,
the slope of-the=surface~ and the=size
and abundance of joint cracks, assures
and cavities. The amount Of water in
drift or surface materials is dependent
to some extent on the nature Of the
Underlying rock, and the, amount which
finds it's way into the solid rock
Is dependent on the thickness of
the everything surface deposit. t"'S The
amount of water contained In the
earth's crust TO a depth Of three niles
has been estimated by different writers
with widely different results r. A re-
cent estimate given by the United
States geological survey, department
Of the interior, In that the total
amount Of free. water in the earth's
crust would be equivalent to uniform
sheet over the entire surface Of the
earth having q depth Of about 100

Institution Returns From
Chicago Meeting.

Meeting every requirement the State
University school OF journalism gained
charter membership in the new asso-

Chancellor Arranges With
Captain Moore to Form
alize Training.
CONVOCATION MONDAY
Students to Discuss Details
With Emergency Com
mittee Next Week.

There is every indication that mill
tary drill at the State University will
be placed on u definite basis this week
and that for the rest of this semester
it will be a formal and regular, part
of the curriculum at the institution.
Yesterday Chancellor Elliott conferred
at length with Captain Moore Of Fort
Missoula regarding the situation with
the result that the officer will take an
active part in the direction Of the drill
at the state University and in the or
ganization of the student corps.
Men to Meet Monday.
The chancellor. later in the day. re-
ported the outcome of his discussion
with the army man at a meeting of
the university war-emergency board
and there was an exchange of views as
to the details of the local regulations.
No definite conclusion was reached.
however. as to the official personnel of
the university battalion, but 1t was de-
cided to call a convocation of the men
of the university at 4:3O o'clock Mon
uiN AFTERNOON.
Jesse to Explain.
At this meeting DR.. jesse chairman
of the war emergency board. and Cap
tain Moore will present the situation to
the students and explain the local OPP
portunity and the responsibility which
it carries. Every man of the univer-

fore it is concluded. the status of mill
itary drill at the university will be
definitely fixed, it is believed.
Not to Change Hours.
All classes at the university will
meet on regular schedule Monday

of Captain Moore make it necessary
that drill be held at 400 in the after
noon and the proposed pushing ahead
of the clock will not be made.
