The latest detailed report of the inspection of feeding studs by the New York agricultural experiment station at Geneva shows that several well known foods are adulteratcd with ground cocoa shells and sand, which are about as nutri- tious and digestible as sawdust. Here is a sample list of ingredients and there are many more of the same sort. Dried hrewor's grains, cottonseed meal. oat hulls, ground alfalfa, and large amount of screening containing weed seeds, sand and molasses. The idea seems to be that a horse or new can be made to eat almost any kind of worthless rubbish if with it is mix- ed small quantity of salt and molasses.

The memory of Benjamin Franklin. founder in 1740 of the University of Pennsylvania, is to be honored by the erection of a bronze status at a cost of $10,000, on the tenth anniversary of the class of 1904, college, in June. 1914. The statue will~be placed in front of the gymnasium on Thirty-third street, near Spruce. The statue will be of heroic proportions, and will rep- resent Franklin as he first appeared in Philadelphia as a‘runaway printer's apprentice. it has been modeled, by 2Dr. R. Tait McKenzie, professor of physical education, who has modeled several medallions for the university and figures of athletes which have at- tained celebrity for their lifelike pos- tures. The his of the statue has been designed by Prof. Henry Cret of the architectural school. King George'- Naval Library. King George possesses one of the finest collections of naval booksand pamphlets that‘have ever been gotten together. Formerly his library has been kept at York cottage. but it is now being transferred toWindsor. where a specially fitted up room‘has been provided for it. This colloction is not. confined to books dealing with the British navy, but embraces t fleets of almost every country in the world and is in s diversity of him 2 gauges. There is nothing affecting the sea and, its command that escapes his maissty's notice and a leading arm of West End book sellers has a stand- ing order to forward copies of any naval books that may be published wherever the court happens to be lit- uated the moment it makes its ‘sp— penance. His majesty examines all these most carefully and decides whether they are worthy of being added to hi‘s collection or not. The king has I great liking for making marginal notes in such books ‘as he reads. and some of these would prove decidedly interesting if it were pos- sible to inspect them-Jule Gentle: woman. 9y Hall, Bufsissk Tomato.
