Ctimgeil trio Place.
It Is said tbat Jared Sparks, chosen
president of Harvard College In 1849,
yielded promptly and courteously to
the opinions and wishes of tbe faculty
where no Important Interest was at
Issue: but wherever the welfare or
honor of tbe college or of Its Individual
members was concerned, he adhered
Immovably to his own Judgment
A case In point, savs Dr. Pea bod v. In
tils "Harvard Graduates Whom I Have
Known," occurred when Kossuth was
making bis progress through the coun
try. Mr. Sparks was one of the few
who were disinclined to nay him bom-
age. The then usual spring exhibition,
normally held In the colleco chnnel.
was at hand, and It was understood
that Kossuth would bo present. The
faculty voted unanimously, or nearly
so, to hold tbls exhibition where the
commencements were held, In the First
Parish Church.
Mr. Sparks declared tho vote, but
added: 'It Is for you, geutlemeu, to
hold tbe exhibition where you please.
I shall go to the chapel In my cap and
gown at the usual hour."
The Tote, of course, was reconsld

When ordinary apparatus cannot be
afforded, mortars are tired through
barrels mounted on a tall trljMxI.
An eye-wltneiM tells of an Interesting
combat between the hall artillery and
a thunderstorm In Styrla:
"Heavy clouds appeared In the south
west and rapidly rose, higher and high
er. Suddenly a dull shot was heard
from one of the vineyards, and a couple
of seconds later It was answered from
different heights. In less than rive
minutes there was In prog, esa n bom
bardment ro terrlllc tbat It would have
delighted the heart of any artillery of
ficer. Going from station to station I
could bear tbe whizzing noise which la
made by cannon balls flying through
the air. This, of course, was only the
compressed nlr being driven through
the sound funnels with great violence
and far up luto the sky.
"Soon after the tiring had begun a
small rift Iu the dark clouds became
visible, and a few minutes later I could
see through to tbe blue sky. In seven
teen minutes all the clouds had dis
persed and the sky again became one
vast expanse of azure blue. Iu the vi
cinity of the stations uot a hailstone
fell, whereas only an hour's walk from
them a violent and damaging halUorm
bad raged."
It Is a remarkable fact Hint there has
not been a single hailstorm since the or
ganized shooting began four years ago,
although before these strange bnt tics
were fought there were many really
disastrous storms every year. Further
more, In the neighborhood where there
Is no shooting the hall has ilonu great
datungc.
Italy is doing wonders with the hall
shooting system. It Is said that In Au

thunder and hall broke ovor Turin, but
neighboring communities got off scot
