R u p e r t, '05, written from P o rt A r t h u r, Man churia. Miss R u p e rt is traveling father and in the east with her mother, her father being a traveling salesman there. Speaking of P o rt A r t h ur she says : " P o rt A r t h ur is a most in teresting place also the surrounding country. Coming up from Dalny we passed through the heart of the battle grounds. T he hills were a perfect network of trenches, some wide and deep; some narrow and shallow. Breastworks were numer ous also. On one hill were two cannons, left just as the Japanese captured them. Kuropatkin's fort was nothing but a h u ge pile of dirt. the It originally was a hill, but Japanese had tunneled under it and blown it entirely to pieces. " T wo hundred three Metres Hill seems to be an ordinary- hill, but is the highest and commands the west ern and eastern harbor. T he pos session of it meant a death blow to the enemy. However, the J a ps won it with terrible loss of life and now skulls, bones, etc., can be seen lying around. T h e re were so many men killed that they just cov ered the entire mass with dirt and walked over them. N ow the thin dirt has washed away in places and exposes them. T he Chinese also dig around to find money." * * * " In the harbor are sunken ves the Russians put tjhe entrance sels just where them to help defend to the bay." Miss R u p e rt has been through most of J a p a n, Manchuria and Southern China and expects soon to go-to Manilla. JUNE WEDDINGS.

Club Boarding Association Does Much Business. F ew who eat regularly at the clubs ever stop to consider or have any idea of the immense amount of food stuffs used during the year or the amount of business handled by the dissociation. The-truth is, however, that, there is bought by Mr. Groat, the pur chasing a^ent, and used in the clubs an amount nearly equal to the busi In fact ness of a large city grocery. the business of buying alone is suf ficient to keep one man busy during the entire time to say nothing of the work of the stewards and book keeper in keeping the accounts. in regard T he following figures give some to last interesting data year's business which is consider a b le less than that of the present year, the exact figures of which are not vet obtainable. T h e re were bought last year bread and sweet goods to the amount of $2,200.00, meat under contract to the amount of $9,132.63. nearly 700 gallons of milk costing $4,000.00, 14,500 lbs. of flour in addition to the bread and sweet goods bought from the bak ery, 130 bbls. crackers and 18,829 lbs. commercial cookies, ten tons of sugar and 400 lbs. baking powder. Breakfast foods are bought in five and ten case lots therebv getting the lowest fraction of discount to be had. W h en the local fruit crop is abundant contracts are let for thou sands of two-quart cans of different varieties, the clubs usually canning their college closes. strawberries' before Beside fresh vegetables, canned to the amount of 14,500 are used and about 3,000 vegetables cans bushels of potatoes. In the drink line there was some thing of a falling off, but 1 1^ tons of coffee were used, 500 lbs. cocoa and five chests of tea besides a large the milk mentioned above. part of this food 85 tons of coal and a car load of wood and for washing and clean ing utensils, etc., 100 boxes of soap and 25 cases of washing powder.

ONE IN BOTANIC GARDEN IS DO ING ITS SHARE TO EXTERMI NATE THE TROUBLE SOME PESTS. Nature seems to have taken pity on the residents of the college w ho have been suffering from the hoard of mosquitoes which have made life out of doors almost unbearable, and has set about to do its share toward rectifying in producing the human tormentors in such abundance. the mistake it made The sophomore botany students, while investigating in the botanic garden a few days ago, discovered that a small perennial plant with re small white flowers, somewhat lilac those of sembling- but with a shorter tube, was catch ing mosquitoes, and not only that, they died. but holding T he name of this benefactor of the acuminatum, race is the cvnanchum and it operates as follows : them until the white Along the face of the flower are five little slits serving as guides to the tongues of nectar loving insects and these slits, being wider at one end than the other, catch the tongue of the insect when they attempt to pull them out and, in the case of the mosquitoes, hold fast until they die. them the T h o u gh we are very grateful to this little plant for what it does in reducing of mosquitoes, its action in this respect from is purely accidental and far the purpose for which it was de signed. superabundance In the case of A great many plants have some special means of distributing their pollen in which insects bear an im- portent part. the above named plant the arrangement of the slits is designed to catch the tongues of stronger insects which are able to pull them out and at the same time turn part of the flower wrong side out, exposing the pollen them and getting some of it on selves to other plants. Mosquitoes and other weak insects are not strong enough to do this and so are held fast, and thus defeat the purpose of the plant. to be distributed A m o ng the insects found caught in these flowers were several species of mosquitoes of both sexes, but mostly males, a small moth, a fly and a few small beetles. This discovery also brings out the interesting fact the male mos flowers quitoes live on nectar from and that females also take an occa sional drink when find no warm blooded victims. they It has been suggestad that Dr. Beal be given a large appropriation to be used in g r o w i ng these plants and setting them about the campus. T he stewards following have been elected for the coming v e a r: R. S. Wheeler, A ; N. B. Hubbard, B; G. H. Stephen, G; E. P. Bushnell, B. STUDENT COUNCIL. At the last of the regular meet ings of the student council held on Friday last the business of the year was finished and recommendations drawn up for ceeding council. the use of the suc While results, the council has accom plished no startling the w ork of the term has been a signal forward with look success. We confidence to this the organization can be made an effect ive instrument in the hands of the student body. T h at time will come when its relation to college activity becomes more clearly defined, and its methods of work perfected. time when the spirit W i th regard to the present regu lations and customs we may say that in which they have been received and carried out is highly satisfactory. Of course there infractions of have been the that these rules, but we think g r o w i ng sentiment in their favor as they become more and more time honored will insure their success. individual idea was A m o ng the matters taken up this term was that of the adoption of a college pin to be worn by seniors and alumni. T h is sug gested by the present senior class. Designs were obtained from mak from ers and suggestions received other sources. T he result seems to favor some new design, such as the college seal with the founding of the college, or a bust of together with date of the founder founding, etc. the date of T he idea of a college periodical, edited and managed by students, was also taken up. T he organiza the tion of student publications of Michigan colleges was investigated. F r om what was learned from this and other sources the cencensus of opinion seems to be that a monthly publication in magazine form could be made a success at this college. T he committee on campus adver tising conferred with the council. As promiscuous advertising is un sightly the council recommends the in con placing of large billboards spicuous places. T h is being done, and in return we recommend that all advertising by students be confined to these boards. Pride in the appearance of the grounds and buildings should be a sufficient mo tive for carrying out this recom mendation. is To make the observance of " s t u dent n i g h t" more formal and im pressive, a large banner has been made which is to be handed down with appropriate ceremony from year to year by the outgoing senior class to the keeping of their succes ceremony will mark sors. T h is passing of from college activities. the senior class the T he numerals of each class in the class colors will be placed upon this banner as they retire, and in time it will become a much prized posses sion of the students. T he banner is to be furnished by the present senior class. T he " student night " parade will form in front of Williams Hall next T h u r s d ay night headed by seniors. T he procession will then march to a spot in front of the W o m e n 's Building where the formal teansfer of the banner will take place, after which the seniors will drop out of the procession. T he remainder of the program will then be carried out as planned by the juniors. T he burning of the freshman and " prep " caps will be in charge of these classes. As stu dent night is to be a college affair, every student should give it loyal support, even to the extent of finan cial aid, should the junior class de cide to request the same from the student body.

T wo very esting talks were given by seniors. . Mr. J. Boyle spoke oil T he Effect the of Handling and Spraying on Keeping of Fruits. In outlining his experiment which was begun Oct. 1, 1907, and finished May 15, Mr. Boyle that N o r t h e rn Spv apples after being in cold stor age for seven mouths- gave the fol lowing percentage of decayed fruit for the several treatments to which they were subjected : says Standards in common boxes DECAYED. 13% .'... 22% - _ . . - . .. 7% slat crates tight " " " hauled six miles on a.

In summing up the Scabby fruit .-- Wormy 26% 15% . , . . 2 9% treatments mentioned above, which are com monly practiced, and adding the per cents, of decayed fruit as results, it is easily seen how many farmers lose 50 or even 75 per cent, of their stored apples by careless handling. M r. H. M. Coliolly, the second speaker, talked on Possible Improve ments of O ur C a m p u s. T h is prob lem was the work of M r. Conolly's thesis. A m o ng his suggestions he proposes to build a new and modern the range of green houses east of horticultural the laboratory to take inadequate place of range. In improving the grounds in the vicinity of the proposed green houses Mr. Conolly suggests the planting of a large rose garden, and $ formal treatment of the immediate grounds, and making a sunken per ennial garden of the place now occu pied by the pond the Women's Building. It was shovvn very plainly how such improvements would add to the efficiency of the horticultural department, and to the beauty of the campus. the present in rear of T he following officers were elect ed for the fall term : Mr. W.
