'Contrary 'to 'tho6xpectatlons of all thos6 jMlerCBtedAin the progress of hoengljkerfog building, tho material iirhlch wji mjake t tosBlblo to con tinue $prk onho' structure has not yot Arrived! j-jPh)'feBBof RlchardB has re ceived word that the terra cotta which lias caused the long delay was shipped tlast Saljlrday. It has not yet arrived Tnit is dxpoctod at any time. Thoso in charge of the construction work have no definite meanB of know ing that this terra cotta will be the proper color when it arrives. From the fact that the company has shipped the material without sending samples it 1b taken for grantod that it muBt bo nearly correct. . Samples of tho or iginal shipment of terra cotta woro rdceiyod by the unlvorBlty several weeks ago and were so badly off col or that IC was necessary to roburn the whole quantity. This has been the chief cause of thfc delay for the past few weeks. Other Contracts Let. The contracts for the plumbing and heating have Jbeen let during the last few days. The" Phillips Plumbing & Heating company of Lincoln, have re ceived the contract for heating the building, their bid being $4,807. L. W. Pomereno haB boon given tho contract COUGLAN. Minnesota Left Half. for plumbing, his price being $2,717. When tho bids wore opened it was found that there was a very great vari ation in tho prices shown by the differ ent bids. This, however, is a very common condition of affairs in taking ' bids on such work. Both of tho'above contractors have made very good rec ords and are considered fully compet ent In their: respective linos. If the material "which is, now tho cause of tho delay arrives within tho next, few days the contractors will at once put a largo force of men at work. In case the weather remains moderate during tho lloxt .month It will bo pos sible to practically complete the ma sonry work before cold weather. It( is a vory common experience for con- tractors to be able to work until the first of the year and If this is possible this year the present delay will not cause aserlous results. On the other . hand If It should not bo possible to complete tho brick' work before next spring it maylre Impossible to haye the building ready by the' specified '.time, . ' .' Some Bids Not In, - ' "rTho contracts for rodt covering and or ventilating machinery and wiring have not been let These will bo let when the building Mb enclosed. At DELAV the present time all the iron work of tho first floor has booii put In placo and nearly all the masonry work that it is possible to complete before the arrival of the terra cotta. has been done. The total coBt of tho building when completed will bo- well within tho or- iglnal estimate of 1100.000. The ad- 1 ditional flxturos will cost in the neigh- borhood of $15,000. BLEACHING ELEPHANT BONE8. Prof. Barbour Superintending Prepar ation of Fossils. The fossil elephants In the collection of Charles H. Morrill on-exhibition in tho university museum have been re cently augmented by tho ttkolotons of young, middle-aged and adult mod ern clepnants. These )n addition to the fossils of mastodon and mammoth, young and adult, make a very inter esting and complete assortment. The oil from the bones of tho mod ern skeletons is being subtracted by the U8G of naphtha and the boneB are being bleached. When thlB process is complete tHe bones will be exhibited side by side with those of the ancient fossils. The use of naphtha is at tended with such danger on account of the volatile qualities pf the liquid that tho process is being undertaken in a metal can placed out of doors to the north of the museum. t This ap paratus and Its iron fence have at tracted considerable attention from university students.
