F or two of the play ers, Schaefer and Tuttle, it was the fourth season. Bauld has played two years and for Krehl, Wessels and Dodge it is the first year's work. At this the close of the season the team is, without doubt, the fastest team—in the state. E v en Detroit, w ho claims the state championship that, we believe. A l will admit though the team is made up of com paratively small men, they put up the fastest games of any team with they played. T h e ir speed whom spoken of team work was and highly everywhere. T he schedule as arranged was rather an unfortu nate one in that there is no other college in the state which sends out a team and it has been difficult to secure as many games as desired.

BIRD PROTECTION. of On T h u r s d ay Mr. William Dutcher, the the President National Association of Audubon Societies, visited Lansing and ap peared before the joint committees on game of the house and senate to advocate the better protection of the wild birds of the state. He was ac companied by Mr. Jefferson Butler, the president of the Michigan Audu bon Society, organized about a year ago at Detroit, which society has drafted and had introduced in the legislature a bill for the better pro tection of birds. T he national society which Mr. Dutcher represents has secured the adoption in twenty-three states dur ing the last few years of the Model Bird L aw advocated by the Audu bon Societies and Ornithologists Union. T h is law aims to divide all the birds of the state into two groups, game birds and non-game birds, and to secure the absolute protection of the latter at all seasons of the year. A few exceptions are made, notably in the case of the English sparrow, two species of hawks, and under cer tain conditions, the crow. in bird plumage the T he Audubon Societies of country have accomplished a re markable work in restricting, and in many cases absolutely stopping, for the traffic millinery purposes. T h ey have placed wardens at their own ex pense on islands along the Atlantic coast where terns, gulls and other in numbers, and sea birds nest through their efforts colonies of these birds have been re-established in places which they were com- pell.d to forsake a few years ago the on account of persecution by plumage hunters. In Michigan the destruction of harmless or beneficial birds for mil linery purposes has never been as great as in many other states, but many gulls and terns have been killed illegally, and tanagers, orioles, hummingbirds and other bright- plumaged species have been sacri their ficed through the demand for plumage for millinery purposes. T he joint committee of the legis lature seemed favorably disposed toward the recommendations offered by M r. Dutcher and Mr. Butler, and there is every reason to hope that much better protection for our valuable birds will be secured. M r. Dutcher is an old friend of Professor Barrows, of M. A. C, and a fellow member of the Ameri can Ornithologists Union, whose committee on bird protection began the agitation of this subject in 1884. M r. Dutcher and Mr. Butler were guests of Prof. Barrows at the Col lege on T h u r s d a y, and expressed their surprise and admiration at the size of the institution and its work. PLATED WARE. in plated ware for granted by T he fact that the per cent, of the noble metal, gold or silver, falls far short of the standard given by the manufacturer is usually the taken people, but few realizing how ex ceedingly low the per cent, really is. experi ments, rather surprising in their re this fact were per sults, proving formed in the chemical laboratory during the past week. interesting T wo very T he amount of gold present in a gold plated chain whose retail price was $ 3, was determined by weight, the actual per cent, of gold being 1.09 per cent. T he weight of the chain was 26.13 grams, this making .28 grams of gold present the whole chain. As gold is valued at 64 cents a gram, the value of the gold would thus be about 18 cents.
