Olivet, A l ma and Kazoo, our old rivals, were all snowed under by large scores.

THE STORAGE BATTERY. from taking current T he st rage battery recently pur chased by the Department of P h y and Electrical Engineering sics arrived last week, and was set up by M r. R a h e, manager of the T r ay Plate Ba tery Company, of Bing- hamton, N. Y. Mr. R a he was at the College on Friday and Saturday when he installed the apparatus. It is proposed the battery to keep charged by means of the rotary con verter, the alt m a t i ng current lines. T he ad vantages claimed for this particular type of battery is that it is entirely enclosed in a glass case and the volts being horizontal, no fumes are given off. It is arranged in two piles, each pile giving 55 volts. T h is battery will furnish 100 amperes per hour if necessarv, and a smaller quantity a much four or five amperes could be drawn from it for a sh rt time at no volts. amperes nected in parallel, 1,000 could be drawn off for a short time without injuring the battery at all. It will take from 30 to 40 amperes normally to charge it. If the two piles are con longer hundred t i m e; even Mr. R a he while here gave a talk before the juniors and seniors on the use of storage batteries. THE LECTURE COURSE. T h e re are yet four numbers on the M. A. C. Entertainmt nt Course, any o ie of which we can ill afford to miss.

A m o ng those who speak very highly of Mr. F l o w e r s' work a r e: Gen. Lew Wallace, Dr. Gunsaulus and J o hn T e m p le Graves. 1 he second number, on F e b. 21, wi 1 be Lo ado Taft, Sculptor. His lecture " A Glimpse of a Sculptor's Studio," are made," will not fail to please, and everyone should make it a point to be present or " f l ow Statues D r. H rbert L.

Th se w ho h 've once h ard them state this oppor that they will not miss tunity ; so, surely, those of us who have not heard them cannot afford to do so. If there are those who have not ticket for as yet purchased a season the Lecture Course, now will be a good time to do so and thus get four of the the very best numbers on whole course. T he price will be remaining for only 75 cents numbers, and it is hoped that those who do not at present have tickets will take advantage of the offer. the THE EUROPEAN LARCH. N o v. T he M. A. C. R E C O RD of 29 had a short notice in regard to European larch, which stated, " T he larch in this country seems appar ently worthless for forestry purposes as those put out die off very rap idly." This statement, I suppose, tried was based on the experiment by Dr. Beal the Arboretum. While the larch is not by any means the best tree to plant to get the best results, still figures s h ow that even with the larch, pro fitable results can be obtained : the following in In 1875-6 Dr. Beal planted .071 these acres to the larch. Some of In the interven were cut this fall. in ing 28 } ears, 68 trees, ranging in size from 4 inches to 16 inches in diameter, a'"d averaging 50 feet height reached maturity. These trees make 723 37 cu. ft. or 25.S3 cords of 16 in. wood. At this average on a whole acre, there would be 363 cords or 13 cords per acre per year. have the rate W h en they were set out 28 years ago Larch was not worth one cent a cord on the s t u m p; now it is worth $ 1.00 per cord on the stump, making the acre worth the 363 cords on $363. At the price of wood and timber is climbing, if an acre be planted to Larch this year, what will it be worth 28 years hence? This arboretum which Dr. Beal planted 28 years ago is a prac contains tical demonstration much food for thought. G E O R GE F. T A L L A D A Y, and F o r. '05, '84. T he name of Colon C.
