EXCHANGES TWO LILY BULBS ARE FOUND IN CEREMENTS OF MUMMY Symbols of Future Life Were Interred With Egyptian Maiden 2,000 Years Ago University of Washington, Feb. Wrapped in the linen cerements of the mummy treasured In the museum of the university have been, all un beknown to Curator Frank Hall, two Egyptian water lily bulbs, symbols of future life. They were discovered the other day when Mr. Hall had the 2,000-year-old maiden removed from her case in order that hierogly phics on the latter might be photo graphed. The wrappings were dis covered to be decaying, and an ex amination revealed the bulbs. Thought very little hope is held out that the spark of life may be in the bulbs, they were taken to the botany department, where Dean T. C. Frye examined them. Dr. Frye thinks that careful study may lead to the Identification of the genus of the lilies, and an attempt to culti vate them. Both bulbs are in good state of preservation. One is much like an onion, with a thin, scaly skin. The other Is somewhat shriveled, but has a heavy, fleshy exterior. The case in which the mummy has been kept does not belong to her. It bears cuneiform markings belonging to the twenty-first dynasty, and was made more than 4,000 years ago. It came from a stone sarcophagus in one of the mortuary templesc of the Thebans. The mummy dates from somewhere between 300 and 30 B. C. and was unearthed at Fayum, Egypt. Both the case and the mummy were presented to the museum some years ago by M. F. Backus of the National Bank of Commerce. The Inscriptions on the case were photographed that they might be sent to the Metropolitan Museum in New York or the Field Museum in Chicago for translation. A large snow which fell recently In Seattle paralyzed the action of the students and the professors as much as if an army of a million men had occupied Seattle. The entire street car system was tied up, and various and sundry means of transportation were used. The Dean of the Law Department rode triumphantly up to the law school on the tall of a coal truch, dismounted with enough coal in his hand to start a grate fire. Many professors used skies, and some used sleds, to come to their 10 o'clock classes. University of Washington. Journalism Gains Popularity The study of of Journalism at the University is becoming popular. Twenty-five have registered for a new course In agricultural Journalism, of fered at University Farm. The Dally reporters at the farm soon grew ashamed of themselves. After listen ing to a few lectures on the common faults of In-experienced Journalists by Prof. W. P. Kirkwood, they were heard saying, "Gosh, fellers, well THE DAILY NEBR have to reform." Every member of fcA Mlnnoantft DallV Staff at the College of Agriculture, has registered for the new course given there. They are all determined to make Imme diate use of the knowledge they may acquire In covering their assignments Minnesota Daily. Syracuse Somerset "Y" has sent circular let ters to every fraternity and sorority on the bill petitioning them to co operate with them in the elimination of the use of all intoxicants from every place, and for all time, on the hill. The means by wnicn mis enu is to be attempted is to secure the aid of the senior council in executing the rule against Intoxicants. Al though at present there is practic ally no intemperance on the hill, they claim that the campaign will strength en the already high marol standard of the student body. A petition is being circulated among the students of Syracuse ask ing the board of trustees to cause to be collected from each student the sum of $2.50 a year for the sup port of the college paper. Oklahoma Oklahoma has a phenomenon In the form of a freshman law student, who was born in Russia, and speaks, besides his native tongue, Polish, Ger man, Italian, and English.

Chi cago, Philadelphia and New York, from which latter city he came to Oklahoma, where he is now working his way through the University, and is preparinf himself to be a court interpreter in some of the larye cities. Kansas The men students are threatened with elimination from witnessing the girls' basketball games. A rule is proposed to prevent men from at tending without a passport in the form of a lady -escort. By this rule it is expected that only select aud iences will be admitted. Purdue Cross country running probably will be the next sport which will be dropped by the big nine conference. Reports show that the strenuous na ture of the exercise weakens the body of the athlete in after life. It is almost as bad as crew work for seriously injuring the physique of those who participate.
