Paris exposition. Dr. Hastings was
considerably hindered in his work by
the general lack of knowledge along
this line and by a lack of time. In
spite of these drawbacks tho measure
ments secured are very satisfactory.
About four hundred individuals were
examined as fifteen different qualities.
One hundred were school children and
the remainder Mexican soldiers sta

A NEW DEPARTUKW.
The Univorsity of Michigan is about
to establish a business men's course
in the university. President Angell
states that the object of the course is
to fit college men to hold positions of
trust and honor, and to render them
capable also of performing satisfac
torily the duties of the various offices
in tho consular service or the United
States. Continuing, ho say.: "I may
say that every student in the course
will bo expected to obtain a thorough
knowledge of the history of commerce,
with its bearing on international law;
also the conditions of international
trade and banking and of the condi
tions of home products."
FIRE IN THE UNIVERSITY.
On Thursday afternoon the usual
routine of university life was some
what disturbed. At about 3:30 fire was
discovered in the lumber room in the
basement of the main hall. John
Green, the engineer, turned in the
alarm. He immediately secured one
of the fire extinguishers recently pur
chased by the university and had
nearly put the fire out before the city
department arrived. Little damage
was done.
The law library is in the room above
the place where the fire originated.
Students in the room moved out all
the books before water had done any
damage. Miss Smith had all her val
uable records out of the building in
loss than five minutes.
