press Of the new Paris university
buildings on the site Of the disman-
tied Notifications and away from the
crowded Latin quarter. 1t is inter
esting to learn that the architect for
the first block has abandoned the
conventional French style and gone to
Oxford for his models, remarks the
Manchester Guardian.
A writer in ILLUSTRATION curiously
describes the architecture as anglo
Hollandais," but as matter Of fact
the design bears a great resemblance
to the new Brasenose buildings. The
ground plan reveals ample space that
is to be devoted to gardens-thOugh
we are not told whether an attempt is
to be made to rival Oxford's careful

Students at English universities

they learn the cost Of living In this

The Kansas State Agricultural col
lege, after experimenting with differ
ent substances, has adopted carbon
bfsulphide as the most efficient means
for destroying the prairie ant. The
work should, If possible, be done when
the ants are at work and their gate
ways open. Otherwise, 1t would be
advisable to take a sharpened broom
stick or an iron rod and run down to
the bottom Of the nest in several
places. A galvanized tub or similar
vessel Is turned over the nest and
earth is thrown around the tub where
it rests on the ground and packed
down to make 1t as nearly alright as
possible. A shallow dish is placed on
the nest and into 1t is poured from
one-half to one and one-half ounces
Of carbon bisulphide, according to the
size of the nest. The tub is quickly
lowered and the earth is placed all
around 1t. The deadly fumes Of the
drug are heavier than air and sink
into the underground galleries OF the
nest, destroying every ant with which
they come In contact The drug

DUE TO GLACIERS
Professors Explanation of Rich
ness of Midwest Soil.
Areas Which Show Poorer Crops Be-
Iieved to Have Been Protected
From the Ice FlosA

Farmers living in the fertile valley
Of the Middle West may attribute their
rich crop yields, fat swine and excel

$1,000 years ago their acres were COW
cred with ice, says an Associated Pres
dispatch from Chicago.
This il the gist of the finding of Prof.
William H. Haas Of the geology de-
partment of Northwestern university.
who has made a study Of the subject,
concerning his observations upon Ohio.
Comparing the glaciated section OF
the continent and the driftless area
Professor Haas found that the soils In
the two differed. In the glaciated land
the soils are more diversiflsd and Of
better quality, he states.
with this asset 1t Is little wonder
that the farmer living In the zone which
aeons ago had been covered with ice,
should find himself better of than his
brother of the driftless area" says
Professor Haas. This area covers
some 10000 square miles and embraces
northwestern Illinois, a small part OF
Iowa, southwestern Wisconsin and
Minnesota"
The geolOgist, In explaining the as-
ton of the Ice and why that portion Of
the eafths surface touched ~ It should
yield to man an abundance of crops,
said that the pressure exerted by the
glaciers $4,000 years ago crushed the
rocks and mixed the dirt as they rolled
southwark; hence the many soils.
1T is remarkable" said Professor
Haas, speaking of Ohio, ito notice
how, suddenly, the tall corn will end
and be neighbored by stunted stalks
and shriveled ears.
"All this Is on account Of the fact
that hundreds Of centuries ago some
rocks of a particular hardness, able to
the onward sweep Of the
Ice fields from the North, DETECTED the |
fields, thus leaving the area which the
rocks appeared to protect, ungla ciated.
That, in my opinion at least, accounts
FOR those 10000 square miles Of COM

ogists say, the driftless area"
Professor Haas stated that the de-

Professor Haas explained that many
do not hold to this view,
processing themselves unable to &C

aid, went 80 far as to question the
dstence Of the so-called driftless area.
