T he newsboys of Lansing, one hundred and thirty strong, gathered in the College chapel Sunday after noon to hear a program given by the various members of the faculty. T he whole meeting had been ar ranged by Prof. C. D. Smith, and the assembly was under the imme diate charge of the officers of the newsboys' association, Messrs. W e s ton, H a m m o nd and V an Haldren. at began T he program four o'clock, President Snyder giving a few brief words of welcome which was followed by the Lord's P r a y er in which all joined. T he newsboys' band then gave a selection and Prof. Barrows was introduced as the first speaker of the afternoon. indigo bird appear T he subject of Prof. Barrows' re marks was " T he Migration of Birds." His talk covered in a gen eral way the reasons for the going and coming of our various summer birds and the methods and time of their departure. "Some of our birds, as the robin, appear in April," said Prof. Barrows. "Others as the oriole and in M a y. Some species go always in flocks, others singly, some by day and some by night. T he crow is an example of a species that travels in flocks and the oriole is an example of the night- migratory bird. T h at birds migrate by night is proven in various ways. F or example, one may walk out in the orchard in early M ay during the late afternoon and see no orioles. Early the next morning the orchard will be full of the species, proving that the species traveled by night. On a clear, starless night, during the migration period, a strong telescope held against the disc of the full moon often reveals the presence of birds high up in the air and in process of migration. T he wren and humming bird have thus been seen at the height of one-half mile. Birds do not mi grate on a cloudy night, but when the night is dark they are often lured to the electric lights and to the light houses, in which latter case many of them perish. T he reason for the migration by night is that enemies may be avoided. * T he swallow, which does not migrate by night, is able to protect itself and besides feeds on the wing by catching in sects in its flight. T he night-travel ers spend the day in some secluded wood resting and feeding. " T he reason w hy birds come to our northern climate in the spring and go away in the fall is not, as has often been stated, due to the extremes of weather. A ny well-fed bird can stand our most vigorous northern climate. T he lack of particular kinds of food causes birds to go south. T h ey return in the spring because of the love of home, traveling often thousands of miles, sometimes from Central, and even South America. Rivers, mountain ranges, and belts of forest serve in guiding birds back to their summer quarters, the older birds serving as leaders the younger." for as his Following Prof. Barrows Miss Bach sang two songs and M r. K i ng to an recited, refusing to respond encore. M r. Gunson was the last speaker, having subject, Plants, which, he said, "have stom achs and assimilate food and possess many of the essentials of animal life. Not half the plants in existence have flowers and few of the species that produce flowers have conspicuous ones." T he last number was music by the band which is a very creditable or ganization. At the close of the pro gram, it was voted, by the associa tion that all the speakers of the after noon be made honorary members and that they be invited to the sec ond annual takes place in the Baptist church April 25.

T he first of the season hoodoo held Saturday and the Lansing H i gh School boys won the first base ball game at M. A. C. It was a raw, windy afternoon and consequently but a small crowd witnessed the con test. T he M. A. C. pitchers did not let themselves loose to any great ex tent, being afraid of sore arms. Priest, Abbot, J o r d a n, and Millar successively took turns in the box, Millar doing the most effective work, his position well, besides fielding keeping T o w er the hits down. proved good behind the bat and Mil lar played a good game at second. Both sides pounded the ball hard at the cold weather made times and errors frequent. final score was La ns i ng 23, M. A. C, 20. T he Y. M. C. A. LECTURE. T he lecture given here Friday evening, April 11, 1902, by M r. Royal Loren Melendy, of A nn Arbor, was a success in every way except perhaps financially, and a satisfaction to those w ho made ar lecture. M r. rangements for the that Melendy showed the saloon's present position in such cities as Chicago (and by the way, in many smaller ones) result of a is the natural l a w — T he same law of evo lution as has given all our present forms of social, mental, and to an extent, moral customs, habits and beliefs. F or as the laboring classes began to collect in the manufactur ing and industrial districts of Chi cago, their places of labor, the wealthier and more re fined classes began into it were, the suburbs, the these undesirable districts laboring class. leaving, as to be near to move to large As these upper classes moved to the more quiet out-of-town districts, them they took their churches with or sold them to be used for other purposes and then built new ones in the suburbs, thus leaving the labor ing classes of people with no suitable places for social gathering such as the churches might offer. T he saloon was quick to see its oppor tunity and built fine blocks fitting them up in a more or less elegant manner. These blocks con tain usually a bar and fine rooms for amusement on the first floors, while on the upper floors there are society rooms, fraternity rooms, halls for public entertainments, and stalls, all fitted up, heated, and lighted free of any charge whatever.
