COLLECTION OF $4,000 FLEAS
BEQUEATHED TO MUSEUM
Rothschild Had Every Known Spe-
cies of Nimble Little Insect.

Many strange wills and requests
have been made, but without question
Nathan Charles Rothschild, a member
of the world-famous banking firm,
stands alone with his bequest to Great
Britain of 5000 heas. When Roths-
child died he was making complete
inventory of his collection of f1eas in
which every known species was to
have its photograph, together with
full description.
In his will the banker left the whole
collection to the British Museum OF
Natural History. The collection in
cludes 10000 varieties in alcohol, TO-
900 duplicates, and nearly 1000 slides
for microscopes. Officials of the nlu-
scum say this legacy is one OF the
most important that they have ever
received.

COLBY ICEMEN
BATTLE TOUGH ICE
CREWS This week
Especial to the Kennebec Journan

Especial to the Kennebec Journall
Waterville, Feb. 1S-Colby will face
two formidable ice teams this week
in Bowdoin and Bates, one game be-
ing played at Watervile and the other
at Augusta as main attraction Sat-
, urday afternoon of lne Winter Car
nival at the Capitol City. Colby has
met Bates twice and iost both games,
81 at Waterville and 20 in a thriller
at the Auburn Winter Carnival last
Friday night. The contest with
resulted in a A tie after three over
was able to score.
The Bowdoin game, which will be
played on the new Colby rink, should
prove to be hummer. Since the fast
marathon game at Brunswick last
Wednesday afternoon, the Black and
White ice crew has administered a
singing defeat to the last travelling
Maine outfit. Bowdoin is at present
in third place in the league with the
Blue and Gray standing at the foot
of the ladder but a Colby win will
put the locals next TO bateS, provid-
ing Maine looses the final game to
Bates as will probably be the case.
The Blue will fight 10 the last WhiS-
tie on the Waterville ink Wednes-
day afternoon to bring their standing
out of the cellar while the White
crew will fight equally hard to retain
their position in the series. The game
will be called ut o'cl0 81. and should
be witnessed by a good crowd.
The last collegiate game in which
the Blue and Gray viii ltake part this
season will be staged at Augusta on
Saturday afternoon as q main attrac-
ton in the Augusta Winter Carnival.
These two fast teams have been Sc
cured by the committee on the carnl-
val to battle for the Baxter cup,
which the governor of the state has
offered annually for the last few years
to the winner of the college hockey
battle in the carnival. Colby should
be at her best in this game and give
a good account of herself. The Blue
defense had the Bates charging wings
completely blocked in the game at
Auburn last Friday night and broke
up the working of the famous Cogan
in his many tries for GOALS. In the
first game at Waterviile, the Bates
center was the whole show in the Of
! fensive work of the Garnet until late
| in the game when the Blue defense
got into his method and then he was
! blocked several times. The last game
was an eye-opener to Cogan and he
was unable to score a goal through
! Millett, McBay and Pike; with Fa-
SerStrom holding down mis- goal posi-
ton in a very creditable manner.
Coach Helie gave Eis men hard
afternoons workout this afternoon on
the Colby rink which was practically
all scrimmage and passing work for
the varsity. FagerStrom was given
plenty Of practise in stopping the
rubber and shows Improvement daily
in his work. MCGOWAN and Vale are
still at their high pitch of playing
| and Muir has improved rapidly dur
| ing the last few games. Muir is q
| hard man to get by and is working
into the Vale MCGOWAN combination
| in an excellent manner. The defense
with Millett and McBay, with Pike
alternating is Il hard one to penetrate
and in the last two games should
prove q valuable asset to the Blue
and Gray.

PROS NOSE Two
BY CONY SExTET
FOR WIN MONDAY

The Waterville Professional hockey
aggregation of waterville journeyed to
Augusta Monday evening. where they
battled for three periods with Coach
Thompson's Cony High hockeyists.
The victory wasn't such slam-bang
affair after all for the upriver team.
as they We're only successful in out
scoring the Cony men by two points in
20 score. The game was one of the
best played on the Cony rink this sea-
son and the Cony team and the upriver
team displayed some fine hockey. Will
lette and Bourget contributed the
couple that won the game for the Wa
terville team.
Cony was up against some fast ma
terial in the WaterVille team and the
fact that they held that aggregation
to a 20 score shows that the local
boys have lot of pep and spirit left.
despite their defeat by the Lewiston
aggregation. Cony was handicapped to
a certain extent in the fact that two
first string men We're missing from the
lineup. Ellis, who is reported to have
cracked a bone in his ankle in the Jor-
dan High game. will he out of the
lineup for the rest of the season. and
Gardiner-well. he failed to show up.
Capt. Randall, together with his
teammates. played good teamwork
game and put up a strong defence
against the Waterville Pros. McDon-
aid, goalie for the Red and White, and
Jarvis of the Pros were certainly on
the job when it came TO stopping the
rubber disc, and although they recelv-
ed a bombardment of pucks during the
game Jarvis was successful in keep
ing them all outside and Mcdonald
only allowed two to slip behind the
pads.
Both teams fought clean game

of hikes yesterday afternoon when a
trip to Snow pond was taken. Over
so men We're on the trip. The trip
was conducted for the purpose of
arousing interest in winter sports.
The showing that is being made by

plan of making hikes with a marked
degree of success. The Garnet Out
ing club maintains several cabins
and weekend trips are made to
these points by members of the club.
At the cabins. snowshoe and ski
races are held and a competitive
spirit is aroused. Last year Bates
was near the bottom in the ski and
snowshoe races between the colleges
bu this year with the advantage of
the experience which they have had
the Bates men have won every meet.
On the Colby hike held yesterday
plans We're discussed in regard TO
furthering interest in ourdoor sports,
but no definite action was taken.
