Indiana University.

Indiana University will celebrate its ninety-eight birthday by a great series of meetings of alumni and friends held in practically every county seat of the State on the 17th, 18th and 19th of this month, according to plans announced here today. The record of the last year, when meetings were held in more than three-fourths the counties and in thirty-three cities outside the state, will probably be surpassed. Practically all the meetings planned will be war meetings. Alumni from all over the state have written to Alumni Secretary, Ralph V. Sollitt, who has general charge of the arrangements requesting reports on the war service record of the University. The members of the faculty/, more than fifty of whom will attend the meetings as representatives of the University, will bring patriotic messages. The state-wide celebration will culminate in the exercises in Bloomington on the morning of January 21st and the state dinner at Indianapolis on the same date. The guest of honor and principal speaker at both occasions will be Dr. Henry Van Dyke,, former Minister to Holland. Dr. Van Dyke is one of the most gifted orators in the country. Appointed as Minister to Holland when Wilson became president, he resigned some time ago to return to America to devote his entire energies to the war. Other guests will include Governor Goodrich, former Governor Ralston, Meredith Nicholson, Booth Tarkington and George Ade. At both Bloomington and Indianapolis an impressive feature of the celebration will be the unfurling of an immense service flag containing more than 1200 stars representing the alumni and former students who have already entered the military service.

FROGS AND WHAT THEY EAT

Croaker* Thrive on Almost Any Form Of Animal Life Small Enough to Be Seized and Swallowed. The food of the CQBgists_-sf earthworms. Insects, spiders and any form of animal life small enough to be seised and swallowed. Large frogs will often devour their smaller- relatives. The big bullfrog Is an especially dangerous enemy to other members of its kind. It has been known even to eat small birds. Some frogs are fond of snails and will swallow them shells and all, says Boy’s Life. It is Interesting to note that frogs can eat bees and wasps notwithstanding the sting. In seizing food It usually makes use ofits cdrious extensile tongue, which can be thrust out of the mouth with surprising rapidity. The tongue Is attached to the front of the Jaw, its forked rear end free so that it can be flipped out of the mouth. It Is supplied with a sticky secretion that picks up the food. The frog cannot see an object near to Itself. Any dangling bait should, therefore, be at a distance of from two to three Frogs may be caught by dangling small bits of Bed yarn before them on a hook and sometimes even without a hook. When the yarn Is seized the animal may be jerked out of the water. Bullfrogs kept In captivity readily attempt to swallow one’s fingers. .

TIMES AND PLACE FOR SLEEP

Churches and Street Car* Are Favored But the Cozy Bed Afford* a Most Delightful Pastime. There are lots of people who say they don’t sleep well at night. But there are many who regularly go to sleep In the street car. Of course, those who go to sleep In church are not counted. That might be construed as libel, observes the Milwaukee News. But why do perfectly healthy folks want to sleep In street cars? Is It a protest against the wistful-eyed’strap-hanger who gazes at their large and apathetic laps? Is it mere whim, desiring to shut out the events of the day and snatch a quiet moment of dreaming as a respite? It is often mere pie, just a rampant indigestion. It is also the bad air due to offices that devitalize the worker compelled to breathe It eight hours. It Is also Sue to the terrible habit of shutting all available car windows in dread of that fresh air which Is the best friend a workingman has. Going to sleep Is a delightful pastime —at night, in bed with the proper accompaniment of pillows and paraphernalia. It is exotic in the daytime, save as a mere relaxation for a few minutes after luncheon, which is a good habit, and seldom, therefore, followed.

Seer’s Words Considered Infallible.

No one doubts the fortune teller In China. His word is regarded as infallible. When he becomes rich on the offerings of the credulous, the Chinese reajder of the future installs himself in luxurious apartments. There, in a darkened room, the wealthy visit him Just as the coolie did on the street. Even a westerner becomes Impressed with the sense of mysticism when he enters one of these chambers. About the wall hang red and black curtains, embroidered with Chinese characters. Strange, hideous faces of bronze idols peer from dim recesses; wavering lights flicker and cast protentous shadows. Spiral rings of incense ascend and evolve into mysterious shapes. In the center of the room sits the spectacled oracle. Before he talks some ond in the distance begins beating there are ghostly cries as he consults the spirits, but as he begins to speak tn a monotone other sounds discontinue and one can almost hear the knees of the superstitious patrons knocking together in the semidarkness.

Find Relics of Saxon Kings.

Capt. Vaughan Williams of Old Windsor has discovered what he believes to be the site of the palace of the Saxon kings and the pre-conquest town of Windsor. It is believed that /there once stood at Old Windsor the palace of Edward the ConfesMr, but although several Saxon urns have been excavated here from time to time the actual position of the palace has never been decided. Tighe and Davis, in their “Annals of Windsor,” say that Old Windsor was selected by the Saxon kings as a residence for the same reason as It was subsequently repurchased by William the Conqueror, on account of its convenience for hunting in the forest The lands of Windsor, granted by Edward the Confessor and exchanged by the abbot of Westminster with William, appear to have had reference to Old Windsor, and did not Include the site of the present town or castle, King William held Old Windsor as his own demesne.

Troops Defy Tropical Heat.

Recent experiments by the British government in India with ultra-violet rays, says the Electrical Experimenter, are interesting, not only to army men but to scientists, In the experiments an under officer of the English army was completely clothed |n garments which had been previously treated to withstand the ultra-violet rays. It was found that he was able to stay in the wnn of midsummer for hours without feeling disturbance or inconvenience in any way. Upon this and other experiments the English government has adopted this method for the protection of its Indian troops against ths raw ages of tropical sunlight

HUNTED BY WILD ELEPHANT

Carl E. Akeley, Naturalist, Relate* Experience of Being Attacked by Mas- ' sive South African Beast The hunter and taxidermist Carl E. Akeley, who has sp&it a great deal of painstaking effort In preparing the wonderful animal groups at the American Museum of Natural History, is known throughout South Africa as an elephant hunter. He has had* many thrilling experiences, one of which he describes In the New York Sun as follows: Elephants are no more conspicuous in their own country than Jack rabbits are in theirs. They are the color of the shadows in the forest and almost as indistinguishable. Intelligence and vindictiveness are’ two of their most prominent characteristics. When one knows he is being hunted he will lie in wait, still as a rock,' and looking much like one, and will hunt his hunter as a dog hunts a rat. I had cut a big bull out from a herd and was following his spoor, knowing well enough that he was lying in wait for me somewhere. The big beasL-as It turned out afterwards, got my wind as I was stalking him, and was searching for me. —• "

I must have got within ten or twenty feet of him, because I remembered afterward that I heard a swift rush but did not catch sight of him coining. The first I knew of his presence was a quick vision of his trunk as he knocked me down. Then I caught one glimpse of his little eyes as he curled up his trunk out of the way and tried to impale me with his tusks. I had just time to grasp a tusk with my left hand and twist myself so that my body was between the two shafts of ivory. I felt the impact of his tusks as they dug into the ground on either side of me, and his heavy nose crushed against my chest. That is all I remember. My hunter fortunately shot him dead as .he was preparing for another thrust. I was unconscious as they carried me to the camp, where I lay for three months, with my Chest so crushed that it was doubtful whether or not I should live.

CLOUDS ENVELOP AN ISLAND

Ma** of Rock Near New Zealand Is Nearly Three Miles In Circumfer- *. once and Always Shrouded. White Island, 30 miles distant from New Zealand, Is probably the most extraordinary Island in the world. It Is an enormous mass of rock nearly three miles In circumference, rising 900 feet above the sea, and Is perpetually enveloped In dark clouds, which are Visible for nearly a hundred miles, sayef a writer. The Island consists almost entirely of sulphur, with a small percentage of gypsum. Some years ago an attempt was made to float a company to work the sulphur, which is of high quality; but, strange to say, sufficient capital was not subscribed. Therefore the export of sulphur from White island Is still very small. In the Interior Is a lage fully fifty acres in extent, the vapor of . which has a temperature of 110 degrees F. and Is strongly Impregnated with acids. On one side of this lake are craters from which steam escapes with great force and noise. This steam and the vapor from the lake form the dark cloud which envelops the Island.

Sour Milk by Violet Rays.

It has always been commonly believed that milk curdles owing to the change of temperature and that by using ice this difficulty would be overcome, according to Dr. Humbert BuzKonl in the Electrical Experimenter, but this precaution does not take away the primal cause. While germs in milk remain latent under the unfavorable environment of pefhaps zero degree, they develop Immediately upon being brought in contact with light and a more productive environment.' The moment ultra violet rays come, In contact with the infinitesimal life development begins, and while it is true that some microbes are destroyed by the utra violet rays, it has been found that the Inferior organisms generally develop more rapidly under the Influence of these rays.

Sea Fish Oppose Goiter.

Sea fish of all kinds has been found to oppose goiter in communities where goiter prevails extensively. Authorities have attributed the remarkable prevalence of goiter and cretinism or myxoedema (physical defect due to failure of normal thyroid gland function) in Switzerland to the scarcity of sea food in that inland country. And there is some ground for the Idea that a more frequent use of sea fish in the diet tends to prevent or cure simple goiter,, which is rather excessively prevalent in the great lakes basin. Sea fish contains iodine in assimilable form, and it is to this element that the food’s value in cases of goiter is ascribed.

In a few cases, when .ladles of less/aristocratic birth have been chosen for the position, they-have always been of noble birth and have enjoyed the right to the title of royal highness- The abbess is installed in office by a solemn ceremony,' which is attended by all the high dignitaries of the church and state and an archduke to represent the emperor at the service.
