INTERSCHOLASTIC MEET. Long before we came to college, Long before we thought of that, When we went to church on .Sunday We had seen the sailor hat. • It was not an expensive head-gear, It was perfect without flaw, It was made of pine excelsior Or a Panama, of straw. As we sat in worship silent. Hearing a minister, or a hymn; We could look above a hat crown Or below the expansive brim. Days of youth are quick in passing, All their joys have gone it seems; If we go to chapel these days The speaker's voice is far in dreams. Just 'bout Easter, 'long in April, When the flowers begin to bloom, You are sitting there in chapel When a darkness palls the room. With surprise you gaze enraptured, 'Tis a sight to wonder at,— Towering wide and tall above you, 'Tis a " Merry Widow ' h a t. Like the style you knew in childhood Alike in brim that is unbounded Curved and kinked in various shapes,- Just sit still,-you can't look round it. Glance up for an open vista, Hempen flowers deny the light, Ostrich feathers, plucked from duck lings— ..n„, a scaoy; IJnai a.signi: Instinct calls to look beneath it. Disappointment meets your gaze. Dangling laces hang with velvets, A glimpse through these is but a haze. So you sit there all surrounded. Wondering if the speaker's through, Enchanted by the many colors Seeing red, and pink, and blue. Before the time of Cleopatra, Long since Elizabeth ceased to reign; Women's hats change as the seasons, So we'll hope, and not complain. —I. S. C. Student. BIRD ARRIVALS. .

T he name is derived the process, a large hammer drops upon a (lie, which forges the steel into its proper form. T he first step ;in the process, he stated, is the making of the die. Dies are made of steel and cast iron, steel preferred, except where large dies are neces sary, then cast iron is used. Ma chine w o rk is done whenever pos is not. the die. it sible, but when must be chipped and filed until it is an exact counterpart of the piece of work. W h en the die is finished, a lead casting- is made and sent to the customer for approval. F or shape. illustration, T he numher of dies required 'for tin- complete forging of a piece of -teel depends upon the irregularity of the crank shaft on a gas engine motor requires -four, sets of dies. T he first operation is the breaking down into shape of the steel, that is. bend for the die. Then ing into its the piece of work is forged proper several Generally heats arc necessary. T he forging into next goes trimmer die, the where fins are cut off, and finishing die completes the finally the work and 'leaves the forging in perfect form. . into form form. the Since the heats of forging vary, in grade and the work will vary temper, so in order to have all the forgings of the same degree of tem per same grade, they are all heated to the same temperature and cooled. Tile study of steel is essential in the development of drop forging. Elements like sulphur and phos-. phorus have various effects upon the steel to forging, which the steel. An excess of weaken sulphur will cause the steel to break while in the die, while phosphorus if in' excess will make the forging brittle. tend forging. Tests performed upon steel show that a piece of steel is stronger after it has been through the process of drop As Mr. Bundv stated, the field of drop forging is rapidly, especially increasing very in In industry. fact, the present development could not have been, if d r op forgings had not been used. the automobile Y.

It was made in 16. factories and 26,000 farmers were paid $4,400,000 for the beets from which the sugar was extracted. T he investment in factories in this T h e se state is close to $13,000,000. figures There was little difference show in part sugar among importance of commodities produced in the the the state. in the amount of granulated sugar made that of 1906. in 1907 as against Figured from pounds, it amounted to 5,190 car loads. To raise the beets, 90,000 acres were employed and. the 26,000 farmers divided the four and a half millions of dollars in proportion to the acreage used. T he average yield of beets in the state was eight and a half tons to the acre and the average price was $5.75 per ton to the farmers. This brought to the farmer about $48.87 for every acre lie grew acreage planted- was beets. T he to justify large crops, but sufficient their the cold May and J u ne had effect on the beets.

A modern plant capable of treat ing wood on a large scale repre sents an investment of as high as $150,000. T he plant proper con sists of heavy large tubes enough in a train of small to run tram cars on which the ties or other loaded and fitted with material air and liquid proof doors capable of withstanding .1^0 to 200 pounds pressure per square inch. steel is the the and then tubes inside thoroughly the sponge W h en the cars of material have the been placed doors arc shut creosote pumped in by powerful pumps at a pressure of 150 pounds. T h is is left in the tanks for an hour or more depending upon the kind of wood and is then drawn off. T he next operation is to start the air pumps and exhaust the air from the tubes to extract most of the creosote from the wood, the purpose being to save all the preservative possible. T i m b er to a treated may be likened thus and saturated sponge the water o u t. squeezed then Every part of damp but little water remains in it. this way will not last as long as it would if more creosote were left in, this method is used for ties, forso treated they will last until they arc worn out by the weight of the train upon them and wearing of the spike holes. For bridge material, etc., all the creosote they will take up is left in to make thern as possible. Another method, almost tile reverse of the one described, is to first ex haust the air and then pump in the is preservative.
