A fat little rat -was found snoring with its head be tween Zaza's paws, a hen that bad been asleep on the nest three weeks fcat'-iiv-l cut a lazuli chickens, who slept on alter si i.CC-rg M;e egg shell little dreaming, perhaps of their .new found liberty.

OXFORD SEMINERY CLOSES (Continued from page 1). The Chrnoicles of the Class of 1910 written by Miss Lydia Yates, traced its .history through struggles against the "walled strongholds in the land, to wit: English, Science, Latin, Math maties, and others," until at last the courageous Seniors had "succeed ed in putting under their feet the hid eouis monster Examination" "And," the fair historian added, "there are also many other things that !the Sen iors did which are not told here, for are they not all written in the great black record book?" Mists Ruth Wharton, the Prophet, portrayed a strange and brilliant future for the members of her class; and the audience, following the for tunes of the Seniors on the Planet Mars, were led in the reality and na turalness of the account. The President then announced that MLss Sallie Mae Sniden would "make disposition of the effects of the Class of IrfiO." and the audience listened with enthusiasm to the very timely beo.iests to the City of Oxford, I!cr ner Mi'itan-y School, and Oxford Send r.arv, followed by individual legacies to President Hobgcod, other m ui hers of the lacuilty, aud the Junior Class. Miss Mamie Royster. in giving the farewell message. spoke with) apprecia lion of the ennob liing influences of school-life as a factor in the develop ment of the richer, fuller life of self tcrgetf illness and service. After the delivery of the Valedic tory, Prof. F. P. Hobgood, President of the Seminary, awarded the distilnc imno ?inri oprrti f icafes of nroficiency. The following young ladies received t certificates in the Business Course. Ruth Batts I3arnes. Ethel Burgess Godfrey. Virginia Watson Jeffress. Lucy Verdelle Rowe. Myrtle Norman Shamburger. Harriett Annie Webb. Sadie Bstelle Wilson. The central feature of the morn ing followed when the members of the Senior Class received their certif icates of graduation. Degrees were confer rod as follows: Lillian John .Bass, B. L. Ruby Ellen Faggs, B. A. Lucy Lam be h Green, i3. A. Ella Kent Hodnett, B. A. Mary Lee Liles, G. .M. Ruby Brooks Pulliam. B. L. Myrtle Lea Renn. B. A. Mamie Royster. t3. A . ' Sallie Mae .Sniider, B. A. Ruth Wharton, B. L. Lydia Estelle. Yates, B. L. The address to the graduates de livered by President Hobgood, was strong and forceful, net only in its clear and vigorous expression, but in its stimulating thought and ilnspir ing ideals. President Hobgcod has especial cause for gratification in the finals of 1910, and, too, in the general prosperity that has attended the ses sion just ended. In making announce msnts for the coming term he said that the school is fifteen per cent greater in number than ever before. Two members of the faculty are Mis.9 May Carbutt, a, graduate of Vasfsar, who lis at the head of the French Department and assistant teacher of Latin, and Miss Mary Taylor of Wake Forest, who is in charge of the Art Department. Art Exhibition. The Exhibition and Reception of the Art Department of Oxford iSemi- niary wias held Monday afternoon.. 16th, from three o'clock until five. The wieil-filled walls were mute wit nesses of the careful training of the instructor, Miss Mary Pri chard Tay lor, of Wake Forest, and of the ear nest work of the pupils. There wias great variety in the subejets chosen for studies in oil, pastel arid scrub water color. The colors were well chosen and well handled. The stu dents .seemed to have caught to a re markable degree the spirit of the subjects portrayed, and there was tune." There was to be sure artistic ultter lack of the merely "pretty pic arra.niginent in the flower studies, but there was above that, the indi vidual beauty of the rose, the vio let, the carnation. In the still life istudies perspective and proportionate had ben given careful attention.. An attractive feature of the exhibition wais a number of stenciled curtains, cushion covers, and table covers., from original designs. Annual Concert. On Monday afternoon at five o' clock the Annual Concert took place in the Seminary Chapel. The program was varied and inter esting. The first piano- number, a Haydu Sonata, was played by Miss Kent Hodnett with a delicacy and grace. Miss Cora Ferebee's renieriing of Polonaise by Hummel was both spir ited and sympathetic, and ehewed ex cellent technic . In a Fantastic by Schubert Miss Mamie Rcyster's playing was charac terized by fullnses of tone and great depth of expression. MLss Ruth Wharton's interpretation of Liszt "is Venezia was sympathetic and rich in tone color. The caden zas were marvellously light and clear Schumann's soaring and the exquis ite Butterflies, beautifully played by gent study and accuracy of concep Miss 83Tan'Che Royall, evinced intelli ticn. Miss Louise Peed's bravura play ing in a ehanminig Moszkowski' Ca price was brilliant and effective. Spring's Welcome, a vocal trio by Buck. The Walk at Sunset, a duet by Fieri, and Italia, by Gabussi.sung as a double duet, especially delight ed the audience. Those singing were Misses Lettie Green, Ruth Wharton, Mamie Royster' and Frances Green. The Siesta by Godard was beauti fully given by Miss Lettie Green in her flute-like soprano. Two Schuman. songs, The Lorely and Dedication, sung by Miss Ruth Wharton. gave intense pleasure to the audience. The opening and closing numbers by the chorus were well' rendered. Bids fr Pridge.

Was education more practical a get eration ago or did John's father stu dy his books more thoroughly than John does? John is a seventh-grade student in the public schools. He asked his father yesterday to help him solve the following problem: A, asked how much money he has in the bank, replied: 'If I had $10 more I would have $1,000 more than half what I nowjhave." How much maney had A? "Such a fool problem," said tone fa ther. "Tell that teacher to ask the Cash ier. You have been pestering me with problems like that for a week. Suppose your teacher asked you how old you are. Would vou tell her? If I were ten times as old as I am, diminished by 42, I would be 30 years older than dad. and if dad were one fourth as old as he now is he would be my age. "What would' your teacher do if you answered in such a mamsner? In my day we had practical pro blems in our arithmetic." In order to investigate his father's statement John went to the publ'lc li brary and asked for an old arithme tic. The librarian gave him "Richard's to the page marked "Practical Exer cises' and r ead : A puts bis whole flock of sheep into three pastures; half go into one pasture, one thirdi into another and 32 into a thi,vd. How'" many in the flock? "That's queer," said John: "Prac tical exercises, too. Here is a man wbo wants to find how many sheep he has. He counts , them so he will know when; he has half of them. This half he puts into a pasture. Then he counts out a third and puts it :'in another pen. : Next be counts what's left and finds he has 32. After a lit tle figuring he , finds how many in the wihole flock. Very practical. I guess dad didn't study that book." The next bock he examined was "Milne's Inductive A r iit h me tic," edi tion of 1879. In miscellaneous exam ples be found the following: Two ladders will ttogehter just reach the top of a building 75 feet, ihigh. If the shorter ladder is two thirds the length of the other, what la the length of each? "Why didn't be measure each lad der separately?" John asked himself. "That problem is net practical. I guess dad is older than I thought. I want an older book.'" The text written iin 1868 was! 'hand ed to him. The book was evidently influenced by the Civil War, for it was filled with problems dealing' wiith battering down fortifications and the sustenance of soldiers. One problem was: "If 12 pieces of cannon, 18-pound or. can batter down a fortress in 3 hours how long will it take fcr 19 24-poun-ders to batter down the same for tress:?" "That's fine for a General." John reflected, "but dad says that I im go ing to be a Captain of industry." Another arithmetic of the same iden tical date had the famous fish .prob lem with wtiiich John's teacher had troubled him for six weeks before he himself finally explained St to. the class. The fish problem is: "The head of a fish is 10 inches in length. Its tail is as long a& its head and one half the body. The bo dy is as long as the head and tail both. How long is the fish?" Very handy problem, for a butcher. "Dad was born before the Civil War' John reflected, as he turned to the "Common School Arithmetic" edition of 1853. "Here, I'm sure to find something good.' He read: "A hare starts up 12 rods before a hound, but it is not perceived by him till sihe has been up one and one fourth minutes. She runs at the rate of 36 rods a minute and the hound rums at the rate of 40 rods a .miniute. How long will the race last and: wThat wiSl be the dlbta.nce the bound runs?' "What difference does Lt make! 'how far the hound runs?" John, asked as he turned to "The Scholar's! Arithme tic" edition of . ,1807. ..The present high cost of living made the problem impractical for present day purposes. John concluded. The problem war as follows: "If I give 80 bushels of potatoes at 21 cents a bushel and 240 pounds cf flax at 15 cents a pound for 64 bush els of salt, What is the salt w-orlh a bushel?" , ; Another (problem was.; j : "A good man driving his guest to Jnarket was Irnet by another , who said " Good -mcr row, master, with your 100 geese." Says he in reply: "I have not 100 geese, but Sjf I had half as many as I now have and 2 1-2 geese beside the niumber I now have already I should have 100.' How many g&efe hrirl the man?" How long would you permit a man to live- if he made such an answer to you? I hew" John sighed as he wiped his forehead and banded the book back to the librarian. "Dad must have skipped these practical prob lems." ' mt m m FREAKS OF LIGHTENING. It Loads the Atmosphere With Gas es that Fertilize the Ground. (New York Press). r' Giant , cosmic naturalists' like Vcn Humboldt and Darwin concur in be lieving that 'thunders-terms, are com mon near the mouths of great rivers on account of the mixture of large bodies of fresh and tsalt water at un equal temperatures disturbing elec tric and humid balance of the atmos phere, and .thus filling the different 'beds of the air full of electric flu via. New York: City and its bays and harbors seemed to prove this theory true, for old-timers rmetimber thunderstorms and forked .and chain lightening hereabouts as fierce as Jupiter Tonans: ever shot athwart the trembling air. But Tip wonders whetl er the high' steel structure skyscraper steadily and. silently , bleed cut the e lectric juice of the sky nowadays. We - see fewer of these ten-mile-lcng satanic sky snakes capering, cavort ing and awllowing across the bellow THE MADE FRORfl ROYAL GRAPE Cn Am OF TARTAR ing welkin, thundering and scaring the boldest stiff. Often on mountain seacoasts the va porladen south wind is seen covering the' mountain peaks with a cloudy veil. This phenomenon can be seen atop some of the peak spires. Now, atmospheric electricity can take these same routes and harmlessly am silently balance and mix up and neu trabze the differing electric loads cf earth and air. This! .may be all to- the good dm insuring, for miles around, safety from thunderbolts, but at the same time it may be stealing some thing from the farms and gardens of the vicinage, for lightening loads the air with bushels of nitrous gases wlhich descend with the rain to en rich the ground. Pliny said that thunder is rarely heard in winter and that the great fertitlLt' of the soil is due to the fre quency of thunder rain in spring. Science has discovered the cau.se of the nourishment in rain water to- the presence of great quantities cf ni trogen and ammonia in the thun der rain and In hail. Although there is a hidden law un derneath, each lightning flash is as freakish and capricious as cynics say of women. Some of the wi credible actions of lightning read like the my sterious dreams, of Poe. Superstit'ous savants still seem to. endow it with a kind of intelligence, an intelligence that seems midway between the lum pish, rough intelligence of the uni verse and the discriminating i intelli gence of animals. Keen, capricious, ma licious or .stupid, far-seeing or blind behold it squirming, writhing, t wast ing out into space, harmlessly flick ering among man and trees, cr load ed up to the clouds with instant de struction and death. After Franklin's work Dr. Rich mond in 1753 rigged up a tall iron rod in his laboratory. In a violent storm he went too near the contrap tion. A chunk of blue fire the size of a fist flew out, hit him on the head and killed him stone dead. The beginnings of the days cf science are scary. One of Kipling's wiedlings tells us of a conscience-strickeni light ning-struck fugitive, who, when he wias found dead, was an awful re semblance of man, a mere carbonizec human body and when he was touched he fell to ashes. The story is not unique. Even the an cients tell of people who were struck to dust. At Aisne in 1S38 three sol diers were under a tree. They re mained standing as if alive. Their clothes seemed intact. After the Money Grows in Oxford And Granville Real Estate.

C. mr fk:w m: &p '0 W m storm, when touched they fell, uni forms and all, pulverized into a. heap of ashes. In fact, some myste; rious disappearances of people hav been believed to be a complete burn ing up, - even a volatization or evap oration of man's very ashes. An in stance is the mystic dlsappeanance of Romulus wrapped in a sheet of lightning. Dr. Gaiter, a good man. was struck on the head by lightnin and his hair and whiskers; were siiug ed off never to grow or blow again. His head swelled up until it meas ured over a yard around some said a yard and a half and he came pret ty n ear dying. In Nke. in 190.' .VI me Blane w.is suuck and stripe-el 'talk naked. Her bod. was icij; j d, but she was dt.mo t-ver af terwards. Fireballs of globular lightning are the most mysterious of all nature. ami for long it was doubted by science if there was any such things. Uut heir reality is now' byeond question. Ball or meteoric lightning is some times seen jumping from cloud to sometimes rolling, bouncing nad skip ping upon the ground. Inj October, ,1885. in Constantinople, a globe of fire the size of an orange came spin ning through an open window and y begant playing round the gas jet Then ' ble, it danced about the heads of ttu jumping up and down on the dinner guest like Pentecostal fire. Final ly, it flew into the streets and ex ploded with an appalling crash. In 1866 after an awful thunder clap, a young man saw an immense bal! of fire fall at his feet. It did not damage him, and then passed harm lessly through a near-by house where nine people wrree unhurt, and there only lit a box cf matjehes. It then took its way to a near-by barn and killed six cows. Lightning will some times sketch pictures on it victims, and seem to know colors, fcr it some times strikes a huddle of sheep, se lecting and killing only the white ones, and again it may kill only the black ones. It may strike a spotted cow, and show only on the spot. Of our trees the oak is the most strick cf fire fall at bis feet. It did not burst and explode by the steam from the sap as some news stories air, for an old dry dead oak tre say, but by explosion of comprseaed; will also so explode.
