They too, have their loose ends: "A skilled person might make a pleas ant essay on what we may call the dropped threads of novelists. Thus Pip's vision of Miss Havlsham hanging to a beam in the deserted brewery has always puzzled me. It seems to have been meant to lead to something othei than what occurs. In Mr. Marion Crawford's 'Taquisara' much turns on an entranced medium who could give two strokes in the hole and a beating to Mrs. Piper. We expect her successes to be normally explained, because stress is laid on her one eyed servant, whose one eye (blue) marks her as the sister of her mistress. Boslo observes this; the poisoner, Matilda, does not, Apparently something was to hang on that fact. If so, the thread was drop ped. Again, why had Charles Wogan clay on his clothes at the end of 'Clem entina?' I.ike the priest in the 'Lays of Ancient Home,' "I know, but may not tell." Edith's horror at meeting Florence in the darkling house of Mr. Dombey is a dropped thread which Dickens tried to take up, but failed. Research would probably discover many such in stances." Queer Dolmen of a lllfle Ball. I myself made the most extraordina ry shot at an antelope that I ever heard of, which, however, has nothinfe to do with good shooting, but rather with the erratic course that a rHIe ball may take. With several scouts, white men and Indians, I rode over a hill to see three or four buck antelope spring to their feet, run a short distance and then stop to look. I made a quick frtiot at one, which dropped, and ongoing to him I found him not dead, though des perately wounded. The animal had been standing broadside on, his face to ward my left. The ball had struck the left elbow, splintering the olecra non; passed through the brisket, bro ken the right humerus, turned at right angles and gone back, cutting several ribs; broken the right femur, theu turned again at right angles and come out through the inside of the leg and struck the left hock joint, which it dis locatefl and twisted off so that it hung by a very narrow string of hide. I never again expect to see so extraordi nary a course for a rifle ball.—Outing. Oyateri. As a matter of interest there is but one species of oyster, Ostrea virginica, along the eastern coast of North Amer ica. The western coast has at least live species, but only two of these are of rnlf)ortanee, and thes<? 4o not compare with the eastern shellfish. Thus It is apparent that a Blue Point, a Provi dence river and a Chesapeake bay oys ter are one and the same thing so for as species is concerned. The difference is merely in food supply and conditions in growth. The oyster is rich in phosphates, but Is almost entirely lacking in fat mak ing, muscle building material and those elements which goto make up physical force and vitality. While it is whole some and easily assimilated, the actual food value of the oyster is not sufficient to rank it with our great food fishes— the cod, haddock, mackerel, etc.—-Goad Housekeeping.

The Sophomore-Freshman football game was played Saturday, Dec. 6. The score was 5-0 in favor of the Sop homores. This is the first time in three years that a team scored in an inter class football game. By virtue of their victory the Sophs are allowed to put their numerals on the Interclass Football Cap. The last numerals ap pearing on the Cup are those of the class of 1903, The scientific and engineering so cieties of the College are as follows: the Scientific Association consisting of members of the Faculty and honor students of the Senior class, meeting the first and third Tuesday nights of each month, the Electrical Engineer ing Society consisting of the instruc tors and the Senior and Junior students of the E.

The meeting of the Y. M. C. A. 011 Sunday night, Dec. 5, was a very suc cessful one. Mr. Cassady, Princeton 'O3, sang and Prof. Pattee spoke. Change of Venae. (McKean Democrat.) Judge Ormerod, of Potter county, who heard arguments in the several cases against tht Erie and the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg railroads for a change of venue, asked for by the de fendent companies on the ground that a fair trial could not be had in McKean county, has just handed down his opin ion in the cases, which is to the effect that the causes will bo tried in Camer. on county. These snits grew out of the destruction of oil and other property in this county by forest fires sometime since, which the plaintiffs allege were caused by the defendant companies' locomotives. The copying of the rec ords of the various suits will, it is as serted, take four typewriters six weeks to do the work. H. E. Tull has charge of this big job, and he and his assist ants are now busily engaged in the work. Death of War Governor's Widow. Mrs. Catherine I. Curtin, widow of Andrew G. Curtain, Pennsylvania's Civil War Governor, and who also served as a representative in the Forty-seventh, Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth Congresses, died very suddenly on Monday, at Bellefonte, of apoplexy, aged 84 years.
