Miss Qualntnnce Is devising an Im proved scheme for keeping the records of the chemistry department. Have you heurd about "Genevieve?" Well, it Is a cantata, and the "Union" girls can loll ou about it. Ask them. Nelia Cochran has charge of the country store at the Masonic fair, and the active chapter of Delta Gamma are assisting her. " Henry Glissman, a graduate of the school of agriculture, has presented the University farm with a valuable Hoi-stein-Frcsian heifer. The Dulians will debate the follow ing question on Saturday evening. April 27: "Resolved, That wages should l.o increased or decreaod ac cording to earnings rather than to the arbitrary will of the employer." Tho class in agriculture II. have been preparing papers on the experi mental work of different experiment stations with certain crops. These pa pers have been handed In and are now being read before the class. An emergency case has just been added to the organic chemistry laboratory- Its purpose is to treat prompt ly any cases of accident that may hap pen In the laboratory. The rase con tains all antidotes and first hand rem edies with full directions for applying ihem. Another small collection of mosses was received by the department of bot any this week, this one being intended for use in the secondary schools and consisting cf carefully prepared speci mens which serve to show the struc ture and classification of plants of this kind. It will be of service to teach ers in the high schools. Tho Unions will debate tho ques tion next Saturday "Resolved, Th.it cities should own and operate public utilities." Last Saturday evening the Union debate was postponed in order to discuss the Nicaragua canal ques tion, which Is to be discussed between Nebraska teams and tho Missouri and Colorado teams. The ownership and fortification of the canal was dis cussed. The seniors had a very interesting and exciting class meeting Thursday. The cause of the discussion was the chancellor's reception and the Junior senior reception, which both come the same night. They formally decided they would attend both. N. M. Gra ham was elected as the Ivy day orator, Miss Van Camp as the writer of the poem for that day. Miss JesBica Mor gan was chosen to write the class song. The popularity of the slide-mlt? is Increasing so rapidly that it Is expect ed that next year nearly every onf of the Juniors and seniors In the engi neering deDartmeiu will carry one In his vsfit pocket. The long and nvearl nome equations in inccha'icti nnd en gineering in general use can be so eas ily and quickly solved by tho use of the "slick" that the eilieiency of IN user is thereby greatly increased. Mr. Votaw has finished making some excellent models to guldo farmers in btiilding homo made wind mills. Dr. Ward has been asked to take charge of one of the departments on the marine dredging expedition, which will be Kent out on tho Pacific coast by tho University of California. Dr. Barbour has received a collec tion of fossils of fern leaves from Illi nois, donated by a banker there, to the Morril geological .collection. The specimens are exceedingly flno and well preserved. A paper written by Dr. L. F. More of the physics department on the sub ject "The Supposed Elongation ' of a Dlaletlc in an Electrostatic Field," has caused a great deal of comment. In the last issues of the London Philo sophical Magazino and tho French Journal de Physique, Dr. Paul Sacer dote of the University of Paris pub lished a discussion upon this paper. There is talk among tho engineer ing boys of getting a uniform next year, similar, to those worn by the stu dents of other engineering schools. It will probably consist of a Stetson hat, blue flannel shirt and corduroy trous ers, and will be worn when on duty in tho field or shop. Professor Bcssey received a few days ago-a request for the names of one or more students in the department of bot any who may be candidates for fellow ships in the New York agricultural ex periment station at Genevt, .N. Y. For those who propose to go on in certain lines of advanced work in botany, this is a good opportunity, as all ex penses, including board, rooms, labora tory materials, etc., are provided free. During the Easter vacation the de par.mnnt of geology spent the time surveying the quarries around Rich field, Neb., where some rocks of uncom mon value were found. These rocks are good enough to displace in Ne braska some of the Dakota sandstone which is now shipped extensively from Kansas for building material and bridges. In the Riehfleld quarries were found some fossil shells, remarkable for size. Some of the coiled shells were so large as to be taken, by the quarry men, for petrllled horns of mountain sheep.

Tho Dellan Debating club and the Alpha Omega club of Doane College met In deb'ato last Friday evening in tho old chapel. Tho question was: "Resolved, That tlJ0 ship subsidy bill is justified by the present condition of American commerce." Messrs. A. H. Maxwell, R. A. Har rison and F. G. Kldd of the Dellans de fended tho question, while C. 0. Carl son, A. W. Taylor and E. C. Potts of the Alpha Omegas had tho negative. Mr. Maxwell opined iho debate. He explained the meaning of tho question and defended its constitutionality. Mr. Potts characterized tho bill as a gross steal and said It was only in tended to enrich a few ship builders. He argued that the bill was unconsti tutional. Mr. Kidd of the Dellans contended that the bill was not unconstitutional. Ho said that It was justified because (ho cost of construction of vessels in the United States is 25 per cent great er than It is in any other country. Mr. Carlson declared that tho bill was supported only by capitalists and hose interested in tho shipbuilding industry. He said it was opposed by the other classes, such as farmers etc., and also by the democratic party and a minority of the republican party. On account of the absence of Mr. Harrison, Mr. O'Connell was substi tuted. His argument consisted most ly of a defense of the subsidy because jit would reduce freight rates. Mr. Taylor contended that the cost of operation was greater in America and a subsidy was not tho be.it means of remedying this disadvantage. Mr. Maxwell closed tho debate by summing up the argument. Each speaker had fifteen minutes, oxcept Mr. Maxwell, who opened tho debate in a- twelve minute speech and closed with a five minute speech. The program was concluded by a vocal solo by Mr. Doane. - VARSITY AGAIN BEATEN. Tlje Omaha league team again de fea.ed the University at Omaha yes terday by a score of 10 to 1.
