Last  Wednesday  night  the  Nat 
ural  History  Society  was  addressed 
first  by  Mr.  Shaw  on  the  subject  of 
" T he  Arrival  of  our  Spring  Birds". 
He  described  to  some  extent  the  two 
principal  migrations,  spring  and  fall, 
and  gave  illustrations  showing  how 
these  are  separated  by  only  a  very 
short  space  of 
time.  He  then  gave 
the  dates  of  arrival  of  nearly  all  of 
our  spring  birds,  and  made  some 
in 
comparisons  with 
previous  years  at  other 
localities. 
After  a  brief  discussion  and  some 
observations  by  different  members, 
Mr.  Hilton  addressed  the  societv  on 
the 
important  subject  "Analysis  of 
Michigan  Coal  for  Sulphur."  He 
described  the  method  used  in  the  de 
termination  of  the  per  cent,  of  sul

Considering 

the 
the  earliness  of 
season,  so  many  new  men,  and 
the 
condition  of  the  track,  the  field  day 
as  a . w h o le  was  quite  satisfactory, 
anc1  a  number  of  very  promising 
men  were  brought  out. 

H a h n,  who  was  compelled  to  drop 
out  of  the  half  mile  on  account  of  a 
to  become  a 
lame  ankle,  bids  fair 
fast  short-distance  man.  T he  ex 
ceptionally  large  number  of  winners 
of  first  place  is  shown  by  the  fact 
that  eight  different  men  won  first  in 
a  list  of  thirteen  events. 

T he  all-round  men  of  prominence 
fifteen 
twelve,  and 

were  Weydemeyer  with 
points,  Schultz  with 
Brewer  with  ten. 

It  is  interesting  to note  the  quality 
of  the  marks  which  gave  each  class 
their  points.  T he  juniors  obtained 
two  firsts,  five  seconds  and 
three 
thirds;  the  sophomores  seven  firsts, 
four  seconds  and  one  third;  and  the 
freshmen  four  firsts,  four  seconds, 
and  eight  thirds,  showing  plenty  of 
good  undeveloped  material.  Weyde 
meyer  led  with  three  firsts  and  three 
seconds;  Shultz  followed  with  two 
firsts,  two  seconds  and  two  thirds; 
and  Brewer  came  out  with  two  firsts, 
one  second  and  two  thirds. 

Driskel  delighted  his  friends  and 
showed  his  pluck  by  winning  his 
two  events,  the  mile  and  the  quarter. 
Dunford  won  his half  mile  in  such 
that  he  wishes  he

purpose  that  the  receipts  from 
this 
source  woijld  be  materially  lessened. 
T he 
the  Detroit 
Journal 
of  April  21, indicates  that 
Congressman  S.  W.  Smith,  of  this 
district,  is  guarding  the  interests  of 
the  agricultural  colleges:

that

the  change  made  there.  Smith  just 
bided  his 
time,  and  when  E d dy

a  promise  that  the  desired  amend

It  was  a 
cinch that  Smith  would  have  objected 
had  Eddy  not  agreed  as  he  did. 
T he  bill  will  pass,  but  now  the  M. 
A.  C.  will  not  suffer." 

A  Mild  Case  of  Scarlet  Fever. 

Last  Tuesday  George  Chandler, 
'03,  was  taken  ill  with  what  proved 
to  be  a  mild  case  of  scarlet  fever. 
Mr.  Chandler  was  removed 
to  the 
hospital  and  strict  measurers  were 
at  once  taken  to  check  the  disease. 
T he  students,  rooming  at  Harrison 
those 
Hall,  were  removed,  and  all 
known  to  have  been  exposed 
to'the 
disease  were  sent 
to  this  hall  and 
quarantined.  Dr.  Shank  will  visit 
the  hall  each  day.  All 
infected 
rooms  have  been  fumigated.  M r. 
Chandler  is  recovering  nicely. 

Bicycles  on  College  Walks. 

Attention  is  called  to  the  fact  that 
there  are  certain  rules  to  be  observed 
in  the  use  of  the  college  walks  by 
bicyclists. 

No  bicycles  are  to  be  ridden  upon 
Faculty  R ow  nor  across  the  bridge 
at  Abbot  Hall. 
In  the  latter  case 
the  rider  must  dismount  at  a  reason 
able  distance  from  the  bridge. 

T he  pedestrian  has  the  right  of 
way  on  all  paths,  and  under  no  con 
ditions  is  he  required  to  step  off  the 
walk  at  the  wish  of 
the  bicyclist. 
If  the  walk  is  too  narrow  for  passing, 
the  bicyclist  must  leave  it,  not  the 
pedestrian.

to  improve 

Some  efforts  have  been  made 
lately 
the  parlors  of 
Abbot  Hall,  along  educational  lines. 
T he  back  parlor  has been  taking  on 
the  character  of  a  library  ever  since 
D r.  Kedzie's  gift  of  books  a  year 
ago,  to which  he  keeps  adding  now. 
T he  most  valuable  books  in 
this 
collection  are, perhaps,  selected  vol 
umes  of  the  Tenth  Census  contain 
ing  articles  on  Textile  Manufac 
tures,  Cereals,  Trades  Unions,  T he 
Factory  System;  a  volume,  Prize

Essays  of

to  Shakespeare,  and  the ten volumes

dents;  Mrs. H a n e r h as  given  a  book, 
Our  Beacon  Lights. 

In  addition  to the  books  we  have 
weekly  from  Dr.  Kedzie,  T he  In 
dependent  and  Public  Opinion. 

Dr.  Kedzie's  kind  interest  has not 
stopped  here.  We  have  to 
thank 
him  for  the daily  weather  report  in 
our  hall-way. 

T he  wall  decoration  of  the  par 
lors  has  been  the  subject  of  study 
and  the  outcome  is  very  gratifying; 
we  have  represented  architecture, 
classic  myth,  strength  of  nature, and 
religious  symbolism. 
is  a 
facade  of  Rheims  Cathedral  full  of 
wonderful  detail,  imbued  with  the 
spirit  of  its  time,  an  age  in  which 
"  there  was little  mean  or  unworthy, 
an  age of  noble  ideals,  of  ambitions 
too  soaring  for  human  nature  to 
reach,  whose  essential  note  was 
aspiration."

Beautiful  women  are stepping  down 
from  some  position  of  high  privi

ings.  Both 
the  Washington  and

baster  plaster,  equal  in  purity  and 
texture  to  white  marble. 
In  inter 
pretation  of the Apollo-Aurora  panel 
I  will  quote  later  from  Mr. Parsons, 
a  disciple  of  Ruskin  and  William 
Morris, an artist  to  whom  we  are in 
debted  for  many  helpful  suggestions. 
In  regard  to the coloring  of t he casts, 
he  says,  "  T he  ordinary  black  and 
white  picture  has  grown  monot 
onous,  that  is  when  the  display  is 
limited  to  that,  hence  the  decorative 
and  educational  value  of  colored 
basreliefs,  not  to  substitute  prints, 
but  to add the charm  of  color.  A ny 
color  that  is  not  discordant  cannot 
be  w r o ng  or  useless.  To  realize 
the  value  of  my  color  you  ought  to 
see 
It  is 
totally  ineffective.  T he  modelling 
is  in  too  low  relief  to  cast  enough 
shadow,  it  would  be  a  blotch,  a 
hard  mass.  T he  coloring  empha 
sizes  the  forms  of  the  figures;  the 
c o n t r a s t i ng  background 
throws 
them  into  strong  relief  so  that  the 
composition  as  a  whole  can  be 
grasped  by  the eye."

LETTER  FROM  A.  H.  STONE,  '99,  TO  HIS 
PARENTS. 

S C R A N T O N,  P A ., April  2,  1900. 

Dear 

Parents: 

Saturday  was such  a  fine  day  that 
I  concluded  to  accept  the  invitation 
of  friends,  w ho live  at  Wilkesbarre, 
there  and  have  them 
and  go  down 
the  town.  A c 
show  me  around 
cordingly,  I  left  Scranton  at  9 : 38 
and  reached-Wilkesbarre  at  10:25— 
a  ride  of  only  18  miles,  with  10 
stops. 
I  had  more  interest  in  the 
journey  than  when  I  came  here,  for 
I  knew  the  country  better  and  what 
to  look  for. 

Railroading  here  is  an  entirely 
different  proposition  from  what  it is 
I  doubt  if  there  is  a

mile  of  tangent  between  Scranton 
and  Wilkesbarre.  Curves,  curves, 
all  the  w a y,  and  the  easiest  one 
would  be  sharp  in  Michigan.  Y et 
they  tell  me that  I  don't  k n ow  what 
curves  are  until  I  have  seen  a  cer 
tain  mountain  cut-off  below  here  on 
the  Lehigh  Valley  road.  We  were 
seldom  out of  sight  of  coal  breakers 
or  another  railroad. 

My  friends 

took  me  first  to  the 
D.  & H.  round  house  to  look  over 
the  engines.  T h en  we  went  to the 
Lehigh  Valley  shops.  This  is one 
of  the  division  head-quarters,  their 

largest  shops  are  at  Sayre,  above 
here.  These  shops,  while  not  as 
large  as  the  G.  T.  shops  at  P o rt 
Huron,  are  well  arranged  and  man 
aged. 
I  was introduced  to  the  mas 
ter  mechanic  as  coming  from  the  G. 
T.  shops  and he  seemed  to  take  con 
siderable  pains  to  show  me  the  dif

Some  of  the  largest  engines  built

Vauclain,  compound  consolidations,

These  engines  haul  1200 tons  up an 
average  grade  of  68 feet  to  the  mile. 
After  going  through  the  shops  we 
went  into  the round  houses,  met the 
foreman  and  some  of  the  engineers,

takes  the  cage 
shaft 
about  18  seconds  to  reach  the  sur 
face  and  in  the second  one about  24 
seconds,  which  will  give  you  an 
idea  of  the  rapidity  of 
their  work. 
There  are two  immense  fans,— one 
to  force  air  into  the  mine  and  one 
to  draw  it  out — which  run  night 
and  day.  T he  smaller  of  the  fans 
is  35  feet  in  diameter.  Their  speed 
is  at  the  rate  of  60  miles  an  hour. 
I  went  inside  one  of  the fan  houses 
and  it  was  quite  a  sensation.  T he 
room  was  under  high  pressure  and 
was  also  full  of  the  foul  air  from 
the  mine. 
I  stood  on  a  narrow

the  air shaft  on one side of  me drop

was  not  working  so  that  the  most

the  Engineers'  Club,  to  which  my 
name  has been  presented  for  mem 
bership,  to  be able  to  get  permission 
to  go down  into  a  mine.
