The UNDERGRADUATE Speaks.

/ find that there is cause for the
lack of individuality in Undergraduate
themes, a cause other than the mere
absence of ideas in undergraduates. 1t
may be traced even to the doors Of
classrooms and to the chairs of col
lege professors. For, in college, litera-
ture is not thing of the spirit but Of
the mind, and you will encounter above
the door of the English department
the scholars first and last command
ment, Beware Of your emotions"
There is no escape for those who en-

You are face to face now with form,
with technique, and with the history OF

HOME OF EMPRESS JOSEPHINE
Fort de France on Island OF Marti-
nique interesting as Birthplace OF
NapoIeon's First Wife.

The little town of Fort de France on
the island of Martinique in the French
West Indies is of the greatest inter
est to travellers, because ii was the
early home of Empress Josephine, the
first wife of Napoleon. She was the
daughter of French army officer who
lived on large estate about five miles
from the town. Here Josephine was
born in 1903 and here she lived until
she was married to her first husband,
Beauharnaise, when she was sixteen
years old.
The future empress seems to have
had much education and to have lived
the simple life on West Indian plan
tation. The site of her birthplace is
still known and 1t is delightfully."- stu
ated in d. grove of trees near the banks
of a small river. A certain pool in
this stream is still known as the bath
of the empress, and here the creole
beauty, according to local tradition, al
ways took her morning plunge.
After her separation from Beauhar-
naise Josephine returned to Marti-
nique and to the quiet life of the little
island. Passages from her diary at
that time show that she was very fond
of her rambles in the woods and of the
quaint, easy social life of the place.
She passed three years there with her
little daughter before returning to
France to become the wife of world
conqueror and one of the most famous
beauties of Europe.
A statue of the empress has been
erected in the square at Fort de
France. 1t conveys a charming i'm
preston of the woman who for time
ruled the man of destiny and of whom
he said that she was a mistress Of the
art of pleasing.

SNAP SHOTS.

The more woman talks to man
the less he is inclined to sit up and
take notice.
ANY man who is able to dodge un-
happiness is just about as happy as it
is possible for man to be.
When a woman insists upon her
rights the time has come to stand
from under.
AT times the still small voice of
conscience seems to come from the big
end of megaphone.
When q mans business affairs be.
gin to go wrong his wife thinks it is
because he doesn't follow her advice.
The kiss of homely girf may be
sweeter than that of a pretty one to
a blind man.
MANY time the heirs who really
need the estate take chance and hire
a lawyer.
Men have a right to bet if they
choose, but they should be careful how
they choose.

WHEN POISONING WAS ART
None Gained Greater Proficiency Than
Marchioness OF 6rinvilliers in
Seventeenth Century.

The sixteenth and seventeenth cen
turies developed a large number 81
persons who brought the crime 81 poi
soning TO an art. None attained great
er perfection In this than the march
i0ness Of Brinvilliers. She was the
daughter Of Dreux D'Aubray. a high
official In the reign Of Louis XIV. In
1851 she was married 60 the marquis
Of Brinvilliers, heir 20 an enormous
fortune. She herself brought a consid-
cradle dowry.
She was n woman of prepoSseSsIng
appearance and great charm. She lived
happily with her husband until one
Sieur Godin. commonly known as st.
Croix, was introduced into the family.
The marquis took great liking TO
him, and st. Croix made his home with
the aristocratlc couple. The march
ioness soon fell in love with the adj
venturer. De Brinvilliers had st. Croix
imprisoned In the Bastille. Here the
latter met an italian who was an adept
in poisons, and he taught st. Croix his
arts. When the latter was released,
after years confinement, he resumed
his acquaintance with the marehioness,.
but more cautiously. The italian came
out of prison and entered the services
of the pair. They at once entered into
schemes to poison the woman's father,
her two brothers and her sister, so as
to get possession of the family fortune.
They succeeded in all cases except
that of the sister. Yet they escaped
suspicion and would have gone free
had it not been for an accident. While
mixing poisons the mask worn by st.
Croix fell from his face and he was
suffocated by the poisons he was pre-
pairing for others. Then the whole
dark tale was unfolded and all were
condemned TO death.

Finds Volcano is Hottest at Top.

Notwithstanding what the old text
books say, it now appears that n vol
cano is hottest on it's surface. This is
the conclusion drawn by scientist
who has made extensive Investigations
in craters in Hawaii and has obtained
samples of gases and lava before they
reached the air. Laboratory studies
of these samples make it appear that
much Of the heat required to keep an
open lava basin in fluid condition is
supplied by the chemical action of the
gases. From these investigations the
scientist concludes that in times Of
great activity the temperature at the
surface of volcano undoubtedly is
higher than that below the surface.

LARNED HAS GREATEST
OF ALL TENNIS RECORDS



W. A. Larned, former national ten
mis- champion and internationalist,
well known in Annapolis, having for
merly lived here, who stepped out OF
competitive retirement to play for the
War team against Navy recently, has
a record in the net game that stands
without parallel. says William IT,
Motel
For a period of nineteen years
from 1892 to 1911, with the single
lapse of 1898, when he was serving
in the. Spanish-American War
Larned held a place in the ranking
ten of the United States.
Larned held the national singles
title seven times, 1901 and 1902 and
1907 to 1911. inclusive. This mark is
tied by only one other player, r. d.
Sears, who held the championship
from 1881 to 1887, inclusive, the rec
ord for consecutive victories. But
Sears was only prominent in the ten
mis- world during his regime at the
top, and he did not face the COMPETE
ton that Larned was forced to
master.
Started In Early.
Larned was a semi-finalist in 1894,
1895 and 1896. and the runper-up to
Malcolm ID. Whitman in 1900. He
also played on the Davis Cup teams
in 1902, 1903. 1905. 1908. 1909 and
1911.
Larned's style of play, as shown in
the War-Navy matches, is of the easy,
graceful, well-thought-out variety,
and the smoothness with which he
handles a racquet makes his game
very deceptive. In fact, he swings the
racquet so steadily that it appears as
ii he is putting little force behind the
ball. but the man on the other side of
the net knows differently.
He instantly picked his openings in
his last match and shot the ball
through many times for pretty place
ments Without the speed and agility
of youth, he plays a wonderful game.
He certainly must have been we'll
nigh invincible in his title days
Depends On Tactics.
Those who saw Larned play in his
hey-day declare that r. Norris Will
Jams End is almost the counterpart
of the former titleholder. Larned.
like Williams, depended upon tactics
and ability to play the strokes rather
than world of speed to carry him
to the fore.
Essentially a player of strokes and
master Of court tactics, by which
he fought for the opening and then
shot the ball through for the point,
Larned is cited as shining example
of how the game is best played.
Williams probably displays less
speed than any of the leading stars of
today, but he depends more on his
footwork, at that, than Larned has
ever done. Williams hardly handles
the racquet as smoothly right now as
does Larned, but he has more force
tc his strokes However, Larned
surely used more power when in the
zenith of his career, but whether when
at his best he could have defeated
Williams is one of those questions
that will always go unanswered.
