But n severe criti cism is uttered by Miss Marlon Talbot, dean of women In tho University of Chicago, as to existing methods. Ono of hor propositions Is that too many girls go to college openly nnd avowed ly with tho purpose of having a "good time." Thoy seem to regard tho years that should bo devoted to serious study and thoughtful training for tho work of their lives merely ns an Inter-, vol of enjoyment, a proludo to a long term of penal servitude. Doubtless much of this nttltudo may bo nttrlbm ted to an unduo presentation of tho' gay and social sldo of collcgo llfo, says.

Until recently nono ot tho mnny exploring expeditions sent out by England, Germany and Holland had aver succeeded in penotrating Into tho heart of Now Guiana, tho great Island which Is partitioned among tho throo nations. Swamps, forestB and many othor dlfllcultles stood In tho way, to say nothing ot tho natives, who wore roputed to bo savages de voted to head-hunting and cannibalism. Soma progress, however, was made. Tho coursos of several rlverB wero de termined nnd tho existence of n lofty ran go of mountains was verified. Tho goal of sovoral Dutch expeditions had been tho Orange range, tho highest peak of which had been named Wll holmlna, nnd considerable information about It had been obtained. Sovernl ot tho explorers claimed to havo seen snow-covored BuramltB, but about this thoro was a difference of opinion, some Baying that tho whiteness might bo duo to chalky formntlonB of rock.

Though most of tho mombors of tho expedition woro Buffering from fover contracted In tho Jungles, they con tinued on, lonvlng all unnecessary articles bohlnd nnd establishing sup ply depots for tho return trip. Tho doctor In tho pnrty was too ex hausted to proceed and had to ba left at ono of tho depots with sdmo natives. Doctor Lorontz, J.

Sovoral pho tographH wero taken at tho highest point and tho Dutch flag was planted. Then a hurried return was mado, In tho courso ot which Doctor Lorontz sustained a bad fall. Ho was Internal ly Injured and hlB companions had to romaln with him all night In an ex posed spot on tho mountain whllo a terrible storm of wind and snow raged about them.
