T he wrestling meet resulted in a victory for Alma, 3 to 1. Alma had four of her veteran wrestlers— Angel, Marshall, Fairman and Pres ton,—and they are an especially well balanced lot. T h ey were all good strong, clean wrestlers and won the meet on that basis. M. A.

On account of the Ypsilanti debate it was voted to' continue the meetings of the debating club four weeks into next term. All of those w ho have attended the meetings of the club this term, must admit that the work has been very successfully carried out and we hope that the club will continue to increase the number of its members and foster the interest taken in the work. At the last meeting of the F a r m ers' Club Prof. Smith gave his talk on " W h at the Experiment Station H as Done for the F a r m e rs of Mich igan." T he members of the club began to feel as if this subject w as going to get away from them, it having been postponed several times, and~it was with doubt that they met last week, only half expecting to see the professor. So the hearty greeting that hailed him as he en tered the room expressed much re lief. toward After a brief history of the found ing of experiment stations in the U. S., Prof. Smith treated his sub ject by describing what the station has done improvement in soil conditions, in the culture of plants, and in the growing of live there were stock. He said three ways in which they reached the people with the results and con experiments, namely, clusion of through bulletins, correspondence and public addresses. that After following the discussion the professor's able presentation of the subject, officers for the coming term were elected and the club ad journed until the spring term. MRS. LYMAN. M r s . P. M. Lyman,wife of our col lege purchasing agent, died at her home in Lansing Thursday evening suffering. after several weeks' of Previous to her marriage she was for a long time one of Lansing's most efficient public school teachers, hav ing been principal of the Kalamazoo St. school for four years and of Larch St. one. H er marriage to M r. L y m an took place on N o v. 9, 1904, and their home was at South Chicago until last September w h en Mr. L y m an came to M. A. C. as purchasing agent for the clubs. M r s.

T he Senior class of the college was delightfully entertained at din ner last Friday evening by P r e s. and Mrs. Snyder at their home on Faculty R o w. In honor of St Patrick, the emer ald of Ireland predominated in the decorations, the tables were decor shamrock, festoons of ated with room to green were strung from room, and even t he menu responded to the occasion. After a short time spent in becom ing acquainted the guests repaired to the dining room where the follow ing menu was served: Bouillon Wafers Creamed Chicken with Mushrooms Mashed Potatoes Jelly Rolls Salad a la Erin Ice Cream Coffee Peas Pickles Cheese Wafers Cake Mints After dinner, P r e s. Snyder, acting as toastmaster. called upon repre sentatives of the three classes for toasts speeches and the following were g i v e n: " We A g s ," R oy C. P o t t s; " T he Senior Girl," Miss Florence C a s e; " T he E n g i n e e r ," E. N. Bates. Following this came Irish speeches, a piano solo by Miss Zoe N o r t h r op and a description of Ireland's places of interest, by P r e s. Snyder. T he remainder of the evening was spent in games, and the hour of eleven came all too soon for all pres ent, w ho voted the occasion one of the most pleasant which the class has enjoyed. Y. M. C A. Last T h u r s d ay evening in a meet ing led by E. P. Robinson, the Nashville delegate spoke of the things helpful to both the Y. M. C. A. and its members which were brought out at the convention. Sunday morning R e v. Chas. E. T h o m a s, of N o r th Lansing, urged upon all the necessity of joining a church early and talked of the duty which one owes to his church. T he evening meeting was conducted by M r. Webber, whose theme was Spiritual Development. SENIOR ENGINEERING SOCI ETY. Mr. Hinds talked to the Senior Engineers last Wednesday evening on the subject of Structural Steel W o r k. M r. H i n ds is experienced in this line and discussed the subject fully under the heads of draughting and construction work. Bearing, as it does, upon the same line of work as the Senior Civils are having at this time, this talk will be greatly appreciated by them. RESOLUTIONS.

"I have been in Catbalogan for the past year and a half, and on the whole have found the work pleas ant and other conditions agreeable. " W h en I vas assigned to Catba logan it was the intention of the de partment to have an industrial school started, but succeeding events ren dered that impracticable during my first year here. T he work should have been begun at the beginning of the present school year, but the 'tomorrow habit' or 'Philippinitis,' as it is popularly called, is very- prevalent here and consequently I expect nothing has been done. to be able to get material and tools and have a wood working shop fitted up by the beginning of the next school year, however, and shall consider that a good start on the work. Later, as money becomes available metal working will proba bly be begun. " At present, with the exception trade of the work in the Manila school, not much is done in indus trial teaching, except in wood work, though I suppose it is intended that the work will be extended as fast as funds and other conditions per mit. " Up to date I have been teaching grade work in the provincial sec ondary school, and do not expect to much more than get the industrial work started, as I shall probably return to the States in A u g u st and possibly to M. A. C. " W i th best wishes for the suc cess of M. A. C. and all those con nected with it, I remain, " V e ry sincerely yours, " W. M. G O K A Y, with '05, "Catbalogan, Lamar, P. T ."

These three men will therefore constitute the team to de bate against Ypsilanti in May. T he question to be debated at that time is, "Resolved, that the railroad rate should be fixed by a commission." M. A.

T wo methods of erection have engi suggested by modern been neers. T he first consists of raising the stones by means of a sort of lever cranes, the fulcrum of which was made to turn on a pivot. T he bottom course of stones was laid, and then those for the second raised by means of the machines described above. T he second course being finished, another machine of the same kind was fixed upon it, and so on for the rest, one or more of the machines being always left upon each of the laid, to serve suc courses already cessively for raising the stones from step this operation, as often as was necessary to form the height of the pyramid, they accomplished the raising of the immense stones with ease to its ut most summit. to step. By repeating is Another method which far more probable than this just stated inclined is one which employs the plane as a lifting device. Starting from the first course of stone an embankment of earth was formed in shape of an inclined plane. W h en the next course had been placed in position, this vamp or inclined plane was lengthened and made higher to accommodate the laying of the next course and so on until the pyramid was completed. E N G I N E E R I NG AS PRAC TICED BY THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS. T he ability displayed by the an cients in transporting heavy objects in raising from place to place and them many feet above the surface of the ground in the construction of long been pyramids, etc., has a source of wonder. It may, indeed, be truly said, that the engineers of the present era would find it diffi cult to perform similar feets, even when aided by the most improved appliances devised in this inventive age. T he pyramids along the Nile River, which have stood the ravages of scores of centuries, stand as an example of the efficiency and per manency of the work of those an cient engineers. However, to ac complish such tremendous work it must have required the use of me chanical devices, although nothing is left to show what these machines were. No words equivalent to der rick, pulley, or any other device has been found the Egyptian hieroglyphics, yet it is safe to state, to, and that used by the ancients. lerers were known in It is important to notice, that all the pyramids are situated on the Nile river. T he stone used in their con then be transported struction could the quarries, evidences of from many of which have been found along the Nile river, by rafts nearly to the base of the pyramid. In brief the construction of the pyramids is as follows : T he pyra mids were formed by distinct courses of stones, which courses successively diminished in size as the proportions of the pyramid required it. E v e ry course rises so much within that im mediately below it, as to make each front of the pyramid form a sort of stairs. W h en this had been com pleted an outer casing of marble or red granite was put on, starting from towards the summit and w o r k i ng T a ke for example the construc tion of the great pyramid of Gizele, which is 750 feet square at the base, and rises to 'he height of 450 feet. This pyramid, when nearing comple tion, if a 20 percent, slope were used would require an inclined plane 750 yards long and about 60 feet wide. Considering, that the sides stood at an angle of about 30 degrees, this would mean about 75^ million cubic itself is yards of earth. This quite an engineering is nothing compared with the actual erection. • On this pyramid 100,000 men were employed for over 30 years. T he immense stones, some of them large enough tax our modern cranes to their limit, were dragged up this slope with no other mechan ical means than ropes and small rollers, which were placed succes sively under the stones as they were hauled up the slope. feat, but in to T h us we see in the work of the ancients, and the means they em ployed, a single comparison to our modern construction. We are today- using the same methods of erection.
