C T he course here presented has been adopted by the faculty. It has been planned to give as broad gen eral training as is possible consistent with the special training necessary to a forester. T h e re are very few subjects in the freshman and sopho more years in the regular agricul tural course that do not have a dis tinct bearing on forestry, hut for the present it is not considered advisable to attempt a change forestry students until the beginning of the junior year. this By plan the students are not compelled to make a choice between the horti cultural, agricultural and forestry work until they have been at the College for at least two years. following for T he work in the winter term of the sophomore year gives the agri cultural students an idea of what forestry is and sufficient information that they should know how to man- age small forest areas that may hap pen to be on the farm so that they will yield continuous revenue, or if there are no such areas, how best to produce and maintain such. It is hoped that with the general advancement that some of the sup plemental work now in the junior and senior years may be coveted in the earlier years of the course and be replaced by more technical sub jects. T he plan is not to give a large number of students a smattering of forestry, but to give a few men such training as will fit them for the busi ness.

N( T he pieces of woodland on the college to 130 farm, amounting acres within sight and easy walking distance from the class-room, afford exceptional opportunities for practi cal field work in the study of spe cies, ecological conditions, survey ing, mensuration, valuation and the like. to this, ground has already been assigned for a for est nursery, and seed planting will begin witbin a few days. This will give students practical work in silvi culture. In addition term of the spring T he time to be spent in the for ests of the northern part of the state • in the senior year is intended to give students op portunity to observe the common practice of milling snd logging, and the prob to come face to face with lems of ways and means of harvest ing the crop of timber and main taining continuous forests.

Wheeler, previous for Washington, to his departure several nice gave the Museum important of specimens, the most two skulls and some which were other bones of Indians, exhumed from mounds at Duck Lake, Mont calm county, Mich. W i th these bones was found a large augur-like implement or ornament ma.de from the columella of a large sea-snail or whelk which must have been brought from the Atlantic coast. Professor E. E.

T w e n ty cents' worth heated a room all day, besides furnishing heat for the cooking of three meals and the doing of the family washing.
