Post Office in Chapel Hilt, N, C as second-class mail matter, The' lectures bv Prof. Holmes on the resources of North Carolina are exceedingly interesting. The sub ject is one that every student from within the borders of the . State ouffht to know something about North Carolina abounds in unde veloped industrial resources, and her future depends largely upon th developement of these resources The lecture to-night will be on the water power of the State. Let everybody hear it. We are glad to see the interest taken by many of the students in the work of Prof. Cowan, our new teacher ot ex oression. There are a great many, however, who would like to take his course, but, having arranged their studies before he arrived, are unable to do so on account of conflicts. Prof Cowan is commending himself to the students bv the earnest work he is do uur anion sr them. Besides the two large classes of Tuesday and Thurs day afternoons, he devotes all of the other afternoons to private and mat vidual work among those who desire it. Those who do not attend his classes both public and private are missing a great opportunity. . We trust that the .trustees will, before another year, add this course to the regular curriculum of the Univer sity. We are in receipt of a letter from Prof. Gray, Principle of the William Bitigham School, of Mebane, calling our attention to the fact that in our account last week of the game between thz William Bingham School and the University our head-line read: "Meb ane Asrainst the University", whereas, we should have said: "The William Bine-ham School Against the Univer sity". ' He adds that Mebane has a base ball team and that the William Bingham School has no more connec tionwith Mebane than the University team has with the Chapel Hill, or Hill sboro nine. We acknowledge our error, and as sure Prof. Gray that we shall be glad to call them by their name in the fu ture. It was mere thoughtlessness with us. The University is often call ed Chapel Hill; the University of Vir ginia team is sometimes referred to as the Charlottesville boys; and the Uni versity of Georgia team, as the Men from Athens. Then again you'll hear us called Carolina; U. V a., Virginia; TJ. Ga., Georgia, etc. Of course there is more in V lrginia and Georgia than the base ball teams of their Universities, but people gener ally know what we are talking about. In this same way we inadvertantly called the William Bingham School base ball team "Mebane". ON THE PYRAMIDS. A Postal from Dr. Alderman. Saturday, Feb. 26, 1898. We happened to notice posted in the library last week the queries for debate in the two Societies Sat urday night. Under one was writ ten in the librarians hand, "Noth ing on Subject in Library," while the other bore the sad intelligence in fewer words, "No references." Now, when a query is so worth less that a careful search through 40,000 volumes brings to light ab solutely nothing bearing upon it, the subject is not likely to present a verv wide field for discussion. If there is a tendency towards better speaking in the societies this year than heretofore, for goodness sake let the speakers not be ham oered bv futile queries. The com mittees for selecting questions ought to realize that, to them is due largely the quality of work done on the debates. They should select live querries, such that the men would take interest in discussing. A University student can't debate . with any enthusiasm such .a ques- To the Editor of the Tar Heel, Chapel Hill, N. C, . U. S. A. ' I have iust descended from the very top of the great pyramid and am about to mount a camel for a ride around the desert to the Sphynx. The accent was formidable but the wondrous scene compensated for the test of en durance. My thoughts amid all ot these wonderful scene's are of the "boys", who seem dearer to me now than ever before. E. A. A. The following is some extracts from a letter written to Prof. Gore from Cairo three. days later, Mar. 1. You can not know how difficult it is to calmly write a letter on a cruise ike this. Things are in such a rush and there is so much of vast interest to call one away from one's desk that there is really no time. We have been in Egypt since Friday and today is Tuesday. Our time at Algiers, Na ples, Pompeii, and Malta were days of beautiful weather and marvellous en joyment. I am quartered at an ele gant hotel in this great city, and . tor five days have put in every available moment in exploring the wonders ot the town and country. We have been up the Nile to Mem phis, on donkeys over the desert of Libya to Hcliopolis the bazaars, and up and down the mosques, University and so-forth to weariness but never failing interest. We spent the morn ing in the University and Schools. We were hustled out of the University because I got a shite from a child that ' had "There is no .'God but God and ivi.ona.mci it. The "Christian dogs" were unfit to have the sacred name written for them by the Arab pupils, it seemed. I have climbed the Pyramid and rid den camels to the Sphinx, but with far more care I have been studying the life of the Mohammedans and the tra ces of the wonderful civilization here. The batch of news sent by Mr. Har ris was very good to get. Away here in this land of eternal summer, and amid oriental life that takes me back to my boyhooh and the Arabian Knights I find it difficult to realize thai I am away from the Hill and the duties there. Examined with X-Ray. Miss Haynes,of Raleigh, accompan ied by Dr. Wren of that place, came over to the Hill one day last week, to have her throat examined with the X-Ray machine to find out whether a shawl pin she had swallowed a few days before had not lodged in her throat. For two or three days after Miss Haynes swallowed the pin there was but little attention paid to the matter, but as she was afterwards troubled with a bad cough, it was thought that perhaps the pin had lod ged somewhere in her throat. Prof. Gore, with Dr. Wren and Dr. Whitehead, conducted the examina tion and found that it had not lodged in the throat as was supposed. The pin was not definitely located because it could not be removed from the stom ach or intestines without a surgical I operation, and this was deemed unnec essary unless the pin should cause serious trouble. The University Press Association. Last week the University Press As sociation was reorganized, the follow ing officers being elected: Walter Thompson President. R. E. Follin Vice -Pres. W. S. Wilson Sec. &Treas. The prime object of the Association is the dissemination, in a systematic manner, of the news of the Universi ty. The Association is formed of the correspondents of the state papers. Co-operation has been entered into with the faculty, and a suitable place provided as an office of the association, where news of the University will be collected as officially sent in by the various organizations. This is a move in the right direc tion, and will aid materially in the advancement of University interests. college davs. and he woulrl c j - - " ""lumeij to give as souvenirs to his friend there would be a constant demand' for mem.

Prospectus of the University. It is a matter of some surprise to us that some enterprising photographer r hrwYL'snller has not srot UP a Pros- J i-w""- c A pectus, or view book, of the buildings and scenery in and around Chapel Hill. There are few if any places in the state around which cluster more hal lowed memories than do around Chapel Hill, and there are hundreds of people wbo would be onlv too erlad to have pictures of the principal buildings and places of interest in and around the village. What student is there at the University who would not like to have pictures of the college buildings, of the residences of the faculty, and some of the private residences in town, as well as the pictures of such places as "Piney Prospect", "Lover's Rock Chair", the "Trysting Poplar", "Dog wood Dingle", "Flirtation Knoll", "Otey's Retreat", and many others, well known to the student both for their beauty, and for the legends con nected with them?

Probably few of those who see everv day the death mask of Napoleon in its yi.iss lase m me liurary Know any thing of its historic value. In the University Magazine of April, ityja. is to De lound an nrtir p nv Mr Alderman entitled "A Napoleonic Death Mask" in which the writer gives the history of this mask. In brief it is as follows; On the morning after Napoleon's death, Dr. Autommarchi, his physi cian, took a plaster cast of his face. From this cast was taken, by Dr. Au tommarchi, himself the copy in the Li brary. About 1836 the Doctor came to America, bringing the mask with him. He visited New Orleans, and while there presented the mask to Dr. Edwin B. Smith, of that city. After the death of Dr. Smith, it passed into the possession of Captain Francis T. Bryan,of St. Louis, and was given by him to the University of North Caroli na in the fall of 1894. Those who are interested in the great leader would do well to read Dr. Al derman's article. Field Day. It is gratifying to note the large number of schools that have already notified the Advisory Committee that they would send Track Teams to Chapel Hill to compete in the Inter-Prep. School Field Day Events on April 16th. Dr, Baskerville has already ar ranged for reduced railrod rates from all points in the state. The school teams will be given complimentary reserve seat tickets to the Harvard game which occurs on the afternoon of the 16th. .Forty-four men are in training- for University of Ga, Track Team.
