The Noah Webster memorial tablet has been erected on the campus of Ainherst college, undcS- the direction of the sculptor, William D. Paddock. The figure is symbolical, and is cast in bronze, seated on a granite base. It has been placed near the college church, t the end of a long row of trees. Richard Hillings, '37, of New York city, presented the statue to Amherst, commemorating Webster's services to the college, as president of its first board of trustees. The music departments of Amherst and Smith colleges plan to give two oratorios in John M. Greene hall in Northampton this coming year. English University. The Knglish and Scotch universi ties have opened their fall terms with j greatty reduced attendances. Cam- 1 bridge university had only 1500 dents, as against "ht)0 last year, many having joined the army. The other seats of learning hare lost students in about the. same proportion. Much com ment has arisen over the action of the faculty of Kdinhurgh university in asking all its German professors and lecturers to resign. The German Rhodes scholars and other German and Austrian students who have been attending Knglish uni versities in large numbers are all ab sent this vear, a majority of them be insr with their armies. Michael Krnest Sadler, vice chan cellor of Leeds university, at the con vention at Leeds announced that the university had sent more than 150 students ; and professors into the ranks as commissioned officers. At Edinburgh university the attend ance was about 100O below normal There was a loss of 450 students in the medical department alone. Pem broke college. Cambridge university. which is always called the sportsman's college, lived up to its reputation by sending: 1100 out of its 270 students into the army. the degree of thoughtfulness over it. Pro and fessor Giusseppe Renato, of Rome, J Italy, has devoted a lot of attention to this question. so you see there must be some weight somewhere about it. Professor Renato very kindly and solemnly tells us that the dog wags its tail for conversational purposes and If this is true, we all know doss StU- thnt art vrat pnnvorsfltinnalistB firm' I e: rroiessur nenaio says great, in justice has been done in the past by scientists in not giving1 animals' tans a profound study sooner. The tail, he solemnly pointed out, from the standpoint of antiquity, is much older than other organs of the various ani mals, and therefore entitled to be in vestigated first. Biology demonstrate., he says, that in the gradual develop ment of animal life the tail was per forming various functions and work ing like a Trojan possibly centur.- before the animal ever began to have paws, or jaws or legs. He hopes his present exhaustive treatment of the subject will sort of square matters with the animals, or .rather with their tails, on behalf of past neglectful sci entists generally. And yet. in spite of the arguments of Professor Renato, some of us will continue to exhibit far more interest in the dental devel opment and proficiency of the djg than in the conversational ability shown in tail-wagging, won't we?

The giant centipede of Trinidad and Venezuela is sometimes a foot long, and can do very serious harm, says the Youth's Companion. Its foremost pair of feet are modified into supple mentary jaws, which are fang-like, and may inflict a powerful bite; fur thermore, each has a poison gland at its base, that sends into the wound a venom deadly to small creatures, and very painful- even to mankind. Moreover, the sharp claw of each of the 42 feet is This disk is served out. to all Brit ish soldiers at the beginning of active service. It is made of aluminum and is worn on a cord around the neck. that when the animal crawls over the soft skin of the human arm, it leaves a trail of red, inflamed spots. It is dangerous to itnock tho centipedes off, for instantly the creature drives the claws more deeply into the flesh, and sends a greater amount of venom into each puncture; it may also take hold with its jaws. When the centipede seizes its prey, or is itself caught by an enemy, it coils itself around its antagonist, and grips it tenaciously with all its legs. Many myrlapods are brightly banded with black and yellow, contrasting tints that show conspicuously against the dark soil of the forests where they abound. The giant centipede is a shin ing mahogany brown,- with the legs bluish and ringed with yellow. in 1870-1. The total for rifles fas 30.000.000 cartridges; for field artil lery 362,000 rounds. It is worth not ing that battles are much less costly In ammunition than sieges. The siege of Strasberg alone cost, weight for weight, three times the amount of ammunition used in. all tho decisive battles and actions throughout the whole war. Of course these figures are a mere bagatelle compared with those of the present struggle, with its millions of soldiers and its quicK- firing guns and its week-long battles. universal cheap telegraphic communi cation. Not only universal, but so cheap, owing to its universal use and low cost of establishing and extending the system, that it is quite possible, and indeed probable, that Sir Henniker Heaton's proposal for a universal im perial telegraphic rate of one penny per word will introduce in practical form." New Agent of Death. Paris factories are now working overtime manufacturing a new death dealing device used by the French aviation corps, which it is said is more effective than are bombs dropped from airships, says the New York World. The first sample of the little weap on arrived in this country a few days ago. It is a cast iron arrow, shaped like a pointed lead pencil, five inches long. Thousands of there are placed In a large box on an aeroplane. Reach ing the desired point above the enemy the aviator turns a crank and the ar rows are realeased. No matter in what position they fall they always land with the pointed end downward. It is estimated that when dropped fioni a good height one of these ar rows carries a striking impact of from 150 to 200 pounds. The practice of dropping these mis siles, because of their peculiar shape, seems like a reversion to primitive warfare, but the results already ac complished, it is asserted, make them better than guns for firing down upon enemies. A New Thermometer. Professor Leonard Hill, the well known scientist, has invented an in strument known as the katathermom eter, which records the rate of cool ing of the atmosphere both at foot level and head level. By its means the rate of cooling on an ideal spring day can be discovered, forming a mod el for regulating the temperature of rooms. pheric, pressure. Durlhghe night the condition was reversed.

Mr. Isaacs, managing director of the Marconi wireless system in Kngland, recently made some interesting ob servations before the dominion royal commission. Concerning the present development of wireless telephony, Mr. Isaacs said: "I feel there are great things to be revealed. We propose to supply every newspaper throughout the country with news from Canada dally at a rate of a halfpenny per word, and we propose to make the same offer to the Canadian papers of news from this country. I think that there is little doubt that, as sta tions are developed and constructed in other parts of the empire, that will be further developed. "In my view the development cf wireles telegraphy must bring about Spring Spokes for Solid Tires. One of the latest of resilient automo bile wheels has curved spring spokes with fellies made in sections and ar ranged to move in and out radially to adjust the tire to irregularities in the road, and it is claimed that by using a solid tire with this wheel the same effect is produced as with a pneu matic tire on a rigid wheel, says Pop ular Mechanics. Two- spring spokes are provided for each section of the felly and each spoke has roughly the form of an 'S.'' Tho special feature about this wheel is the arrangement by which the sections of the felly are prevented from moving laterally while free to move toward or away from the hub. The ends of the sections are provided with metal brackets. One bracket has a tenon which fits into, a slot in the bracket of the adjacent section. The slot is just the width of the tenon laterally, but is elongated sufficiently to permit the amount of play required for obtaining a Tesilient effect. Adjacent sections are held to gether by a nut placed on the thread ed end of the tenon.

It has been proved that there is a regular exchange of gas between the Interior of the earth and the surround ing atmosphere corresponding to hu man breathing, says Harper's Weekly. Dr. Boernestein, an Austrian physi cian, sank a tube in the ground to a depth of over 90 feet, connected with a mercury barometer on the surface. From 7 a. m. to 5 or 6 p. m. the pres sure of gases given out by the earth was found to be less than the atmos- raris. Oct. 24. M.
