A larger attendance than has ever been known at the distinctive summer session of any American university is promised by the advance applications for admission to the summer session of the University of California, which will begin Thursday, June 25, and end Wednesday, August 5th.
Albert Bushnell Hart, professor of history in Harvard, who is to teach in the summer session in the field of the diplomatic and constitutional history of the United States, has arrived in Southern California. Charles E. Bennett, professor of Latin in Cornell University, is expected in a few days. Other members of the faculty from Eastern universities who will soon arrive are Professors George H. Palmer of Harvard, for ethics; James R. Angell of Chicago, for psychology; Paul Monroe of Columbia, for educational methods; George R. Carpenter of Columbia and Robert Herrick of Chicago, for Euglish; Charles Palache of Harvard, for mineralogy; Benjamin P. Bourland of Western Reserve University, for French. Ler in the season Mr. Gifford Pinchot of the United States department of agriculture will give a number of lectures on forestry.
Besides the more serious work of the summer session the university is planning a number of pleasant opportunities for the students in the way of evening lectures, excursions of points of interest, concerts, art exhibits and university meetings.

with responsibility for delay in the ratification of the Panama canal treaty by Colombia. The men are on the ground and with millions of dollars to spend.
Facts as to just what is being done were brought to the city recently by a well known railroad man who recently returned from Bogota.
The interests which have contributed to the fund to secure the votes of Colombia legislators are Morgan, Hill, Rockefeller, Gould, Harriman and others controlling the Union Pacific, Texas Pacific, Southern Pacific and nearly every other railroad in the country.
The lobbyists who formed the third house in Washington during the fight for the treaty in congress, reinforced by a number of Central American lawyers, politicians and revolutionists, are in Bogota and other cities in Colombia. It is said the vast railroad interests are willing to pay even more than the $10,-000,000 offered by the United States if the treaty is rejected.
An emissary of the Colombia government is now on his way to Washington for a conference with the president, but it was said recently that unless the United States offers more money than that already agreed upon, the conference will come to naught.
The president, however, is determined that the canal shall be built, and he announced the other day to a friend: "If Colombia does not come to terms on June 22nd or a few days later, I shall reopen negotiations with Nicaragua."
Consequently the railroad's fight is not going to be ended when the contest between Uncle Sam and the greatest combination of private capital ever known closes with the defeat of the treaty with Colombia.

Besides the more serious work of the summer session the university is planning a number of pleasant opportunities for the students in the way of evening lectures, excursions of points of interest, concerts, art exhibits and university meetings.
The department of civil engineering has been greatly strengthened by the appointment of Charles Derleth of the University of Colorado, as associate professor of structural engineering; Edward N. Prouty as assistant professor of railroad engineering; Samuel Fortier, an expert in the United States bureau of irrigation investigations, was appointed assistant professor of irrigation; George Roberts of the state college of Kentucky, university's inspector of commercial fertilizers; Carl C. Thomas head of department of naval architecture of New York University, department of electrical and mechanical engineering; Chun Seen Chan, was appointed assistant in Cantonese to meet a special need of the students of the college of commerce.
The coming of Professor Ostwald of Leipzig, Germany, perhaps the foremost of living chemists, to deliver the dedication address for the new Physiological Laboratory built by Rudolph Spreckles for Dr. Jacques Loeb's department, is an event that will be regarded with much interest by the scientific world.
The beautiful new open-air Greek theatre, built for the university by William R. Hearst, will be dedicated in September with a three-day dramatic festival.
It is expected that within ten days complete plans will have been made for starting the first irrigation project under the national irrigation act, passed by congress more than a year ago. This project will be established in the Salt river valley, Ariz., where property owners have agreed to put their lands into a sort of pool and assess themselves for the payment of the necessary expenses under the act, if the government will establish irrigation works at the head of that valley.
The property owners there have between themselves organized the Salt River Valley Water Users' Association, and according to private telegrams received from Arizona, they had secured owners of 135,000 acres of land in 160-acre plots, to go
PROFESSOR ARNOLD V. STUBENRAUCH of the University of California has returned from Southern California, where he has been investigating the possibilities of introducing date culture in the desert regions. Accompanied by A. J. Peters, chief of the division of seed and plant introduction of the United States department of agriculture, after investigating several possible sites for the experiment station, it was finally decided to locate at Coachella, in Riverside county, and there from three to five acres will be set out to best variety of late ripening date palms. A special agent will be sent by the department to the Sahara and Arabia to superintend the selection of young stock.
Professor John C. Merriam of the University of California has returned from the recently discovered fossil beds in Idaho, from which he and his assistants dug ancient remains that will materially help science in clearing up mysteries concerning the appearance and habits of prehistoric animals. The exact results of the expedition are yet to be known, however, as the fossils are still incased in the rock and need to be chiselled out and classified.
A TOPOGRAPHIC map of a portion of the San Gabriel mountains, Southern California, has been issued by the United States geological survey. The area mapped out is known as the Rock Creek quadrangle. The country included is, with the exception of a small part of the Mojave desert, on the northern slope of the San Gabriel mountains within the San Gabriel timber reserve. About ten years ago an attempt to grow fruit was made by a colony of settlers who, after a few years, finding the water supply from the mountains insufficient for irrigation, abandoned their land. The southern drainage from the area covered by this map, is tributary to the San Gabriel river, whose waters are used to irrigate a large area in Los Angeles county.
REPORTS reached Washington this terminal that the canal shall be built, and he announced the other day to a friend: "If Colombia does not come to terms on June 22nd on a few days later, I shall reopen negotiations with Nicaragua."
Consequently the railroad's fight is not going to be ended when the contest between Uncle Sam and the greatest combination of private capital ever known closes with the defeat of the treaty with Colombia.

where property owners agreed to put their lands into a sort of pool and assess themselves for the payment of the necessary expenses under the act, if the government will establish irrigation works at the head of that valley.
The property owners there have between themselves organized the Salt River Valley Water Users' Association, and according to private telegrams received from Arizona, they had secured owners of 135,000 acres of land in 160-acre plots, to go into their agreement.
These property owners, however, will not feel safe in going into the matter until they have secured agreements from the owners of at least 150,000 acres of land in the Salt river valley, and in their telegrams to Washington they predict that they will have secured agreements from the owners of that amount of land by next Saturday evening.
When these agreements have been secured, the government will formally approve the plans, and the interior department will order the contracts let for the construction of a dam at the head of Salt river valley. This dam and incidental work will cost in the vicinity of millions, and will be the first great irrigation work to be entered upon by the government.
The friends of this plan in Washington say that Dwight B. Heard of the Bartlett-Heard Cattle company, which owns 7000 acres of land on the south side of Salt river in Arizona, will be in Washington within a day or so to oppose the government plans for irrigating the lands of the Water Users' Association already referred to.
It is claimed that Heard wants the government to enter upon extensive irrigation plans, to embrace the lands of the great company. That matter will be gone over before Secretary of Interior Hitchcock during the present week.

ANIMALS THAT COUNT.
Instances That Prove Their Possession of the Computing Faculty.
Several years ago there lived in Cincinnati a mule which was employed by a street railway company in hauling cars up a steep incline. This animal was hitched in front of the regular team and unhitched as soon as the car arrived at the top of the hill. It made a certain number of trips in the forenoon (I have forgotten the number, but will say 50 for the sake of convenience) and a like number in the afternoon, resting for an hour at noon. As soon as the mule completed its fiftieth trip it marched away to its stable without orders from its driver.
To show that it was not influenced by the sound of the factory whistles and bells the following remarkable action on the part of this animal is vowled for by the superintendent of the line, who gave me these data: On a certain occasion, during a musical festival, this mule was transferred to the night shift, and the very instant it completed its fiftieth trip it started for the stables. It took the combined efforts of several men to make it return to its duty. At night there were no bells or whistles to inform the creature that "quitting time" had come. It had counted the trips, and having finished its full quota of 50 it thought that the time for rest and food had arrived.
Some monkeys give unmistakable evidences of the possession by them of the computing faculty. In 1889 I made the acquaintance of a very intelligent chimpanzee which could count as high as three. That this was not a trick suggested by sensual impulses I had ample opportunity of satisfying myself. The owner of the animal would leave the room, no one being present but myself, and when I would call for two marbles or one marble or three marbles, as the case might be, the monkey would gravely hand over the required number. Roanes mentions an ape which could count three, the material used in his experiment being straws from the animal's cage. Wolff, Darwin, Forbes and Hartman also give instances of the computing faculty in apes and monkeys. — James Weir in Lippincott's Magazine.

The Gadsden Purchase
A correspondent asks the history and reasons for the purchase of "a little strip of land about the size of a California county known as the Gadsden Purchase," which is now a part of Arizona and which the correspondent supposes of little value.
The Gadsden purchase included that portion of Arizona and New Mexico south of the Gila river. Its area was 45,535 square miles, or about three-tenths the size of California and about three-quarters of it is within the present boundaries of Arizona.
At the close or our war with Mexico that country ceded to the United States a territory including California, Arizona, north of the Gila river, part of New Mexico, etc. The treaty was dated February 2, 1848.
During the next five years there was much dispute between the two republics concerning the country south of the Gila. There were questions of boundary at issue. Mexico also had claims against the United States for Indian depredations, loosely estimated all the way from $15,000,000 to $30,000,-ooo. So acute did the dispute become that Santa Ana then the self-proclaimed perpetual president of Mexico,marched an army into the territory,and preparations were made for a renewal of war between the two countries.
General James Gadsden was at that time United States Minister to Mexico,and largely by his exertions a treaty was concluded December 30,1853,tothe settle all existing difficulties. By its terms Mexico ceded the so-called Gadslen purchase to the United States.relinquishing her claims for Indian depredations and agreed to give the United States the right of transit for troops,mails and merchandise across the isthmus of Pehuantepec.in consideration of the payment of $10,000,000 by the United States.
This bargain was so unpopular in Mexico that it was largely instrumental in driving Santa Ana from power and into exilewhich happened shortly after.

"I was with Commodore Dewey when he was the executive officer of the Colorado," said a financier,"and I remember one incident which shows the manner of man he is. We had a fine crew,some of them as powerful men as I ever saw.Four or five of them went ashore one day and came back fighting drunk.
"Three of them were men who would singly have been more than a match in strength for John L. Sullivan.The order was given to give them in irons,and it was found impossible to carry out the order.for the men were dangerous.Dewey was notified of the situation.Hew was writing a letter in his room at the time.
"He went to the place where these giants were and he told them come out and submit to the irons.They did not stir.Then Dewey said quietly to an orderly,'Bring me my revolvers,'and when he had his pistols he again called upon the men to come out,但 they did not move.Then he said,'I am going to count three.If you are not out here with your hands held up on the third count,you won't come out of that place alive."
"He counted one,theen cocked the revolvers,and he counted two.We all expected to hear the report,for we knew that Dewey meant what he said.The men knew it too.They stepped out just in time to save their lives and held up their bands,and they had been partially sobered by their fright andthe moral effect of Dewey's glance.
"One of them said afterward that when he saw Dewey's eyes he knew that he would either be a dead Jackie in a moment or he would have to yield,and when the irons were put upon himhe was as sober as he ever was in his life.Dewey went back to his room and finished the letter he was writing."—Philadelphia Press.

A SELF-DENYING OFFERING.
Some young girls at a summer resort were giving a vaudeville performance for a local charity. A young man who thought himself facetious tossed upon the stage after one of the "turns" a bouquet whose chief ingredient was a head of cabbage. The girl who received this offering of appreciation read the card that accompanied it, and advanced to the footlights.
"It gives me great pleasure," she said, "to know that Mr. Edward Morgan has enjoyed my performance. I hoped that the audience might like it, but I never expected for a moment that Mr. Morgan would so far lose his head as to throw it upon the stage.

Mexico ceded the so-called Gadsden purchase to the United States, relinquishing her claims for Indian depredations and agreed to give the United States the right of transit for troops, mails and merchandise across the Isthmus of Fahcuhteepec, in consideration of the payment of $10,000,000 by the United States.
This bargain was so unpopular in Mexico that it was largely instrumental in driving Santa Ana from power and into exile, which happened shortly after.
As to the value of the territory to the United States, it may be noted that much of it, especially that part comprised in Arizona, is rich in mineral, agriculture and grazing resources. The portion belonging to New Mexico is less developed and not so much is known of its capabilities, although it questionably contains considerable possibilities. Some of the richest mining districts in Arizona are within the lines of the "Purchase." The Gila valley and many other sections are highly productive when irrigated, and great advancement has been made in that respect, with more projected. Throughout many parts of the "Purchase," the traces of irrigation works, cities, etc., indicate that the country was once densely settled and highly cultivated, and it is expected that history will in due time repeat itself.
The mineral products of Arizona are now worth upwards of $20,000,000 annually, and are steadily increasing. Just what proportion of the product comes from within the lines is not known, but it is very considerable. The largest city of Arizona, Tuesson, is situated within those lines. So are the celebrated Tombstone, Calabasas and other important mining districts.
On the whole it would seem that the United States made a very good bargain in the Gadsden purchase and one whose value will become more apparent from year to year.—San Jose Mercury.

Women of Forty.
Balzac, famous as a literary and social lion, was once attacked in a Paris salon by a pretty little miss of 17, who demanded why it was that he liked women whom she would consider passe.
"Why, monsieur, even when they are as old as 40 you seem to enjoy their society!"
Balzao looked at her earnestly for a second and then laughed heartily. He bent over to explain matters and remarked in a serious voice, as though weighing every word he said, "Perhaps the secret lies in the simple fact that the woman of 20 must be pleased, while the older woman of 40 tries to please, and the older woman's power consists, not ag has been so often said in understanding and making the most of her own charms, but in comprehending and with happy tact calling out and making the most of the good qualities of the man whose favor she seeks."
A Curious Duel
An apothecary having refused to give up his seat in a theater to an officer's lady, the officer felt himself insulted and sent him a challenge. The apothecary presented himself at the place of meeting at the appointed time. He said, however, that he was not accustomed to the use of firearms, but he would propose another way of settling the dispute. He then drew from his pocket a pill box, took from it two pills, and thus addressed his antagonist: "As a man of honor, you would surely wish to fight me only on equal terms. Here are two pills, one composed of the most deadly poison and the other perfectly harmless. We are on equal ground if we each swallow one. You shall take your choice, and I promise faithfully to take the one you leave." The officer laughed heartily at the strange proposal, and shaking hands, they parted good friends.

The English Post
The postmasters were public offices from London and soldiers, and they recite of postage. "Whereupon themselves in their selling drink, and their gle letters free to Low."
The rates of post comparatively low. A letter consisting paper only—could be tance up to 80 miles and beyond 80 miles; letter weighing an ounce for 80 miles and a shake.
The mails were disband about midnight Thursday and Saturday arrive in London Wednesday and Friday were carried on horse five miles an hour; able to a detention of not hour at each postroad. England was runnings, or roads; Chester; north York starting from Plymouth Edinburgh; Yankees respectively.—Notes

ARITHMETIC 1700 B. C.
Suma Over Which Egyptian Children Punched Their Brains.
Probably the oldest copy book for home lessons in arithmetic was recently unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus, which was found in excellent condition, dates from the period about 1700 B. C.—that is, about 100 years before the time of Moses, or almost 8,600 years ago. It proves that the Egyptians had a thorough knowledge of elementary mathematics almost to the extent of our own. The papyrus has a long heading, "Direction how to attain the knowledge of all dark things," etc. Numerous examples show that their principal operations with entire units and fractions were made by means of addition and multiplication. Subtractions and divisions were not known in their present form, but correct results were obtained nevertheless.
Equations are also found in the papyrus. Among the examples given is this one: Ten measures of barley are to be divided among ten persons in such a manner that each subsequent person receives one-eighth of a measure less than the one before him. Another example given is: There are seven men, each one has seven cats, each cat has eaten seven mice, each mouse has eaten seven grains of barley. Each grain of barley would, if cultivated, have yielded seven measures of barley. How much barley has been lost in that way? The papyrus also contains calculations of area, the calculation of the area of a circle and its transformation into a square, and finally calculations of the cubic measurements of pyramids.—Philadelphia Record.
Shaking Hands.
Men shake hands with strangers of their own sex with far greater readiness than do women. Two men, on being presented to one another, will frequently extend the hand in a grasp of greeting, which gives opportunity to form a general idea of each other's make up and know whether they are attracted or repulsed. Occasionally there is a man with sufficient good nature and courage to refuse another man's hand without causing offense. There are men who have been so impressed with the discoveries of bacteriology that they maintain handshaking to be the cause of dissemination of disease germs. The bare hand comes in contact with innumerable germs looking for pasturage on some vulnerable spot of our anatomy. A cut or abrasion on the band leaves a door inside of a molecule.
The New South Wales government analyst, William M. Hamlet, delivered the presidential address in the section of chemistry at the recent meeting of the Australian Association For the Advancement of Science, the subject being "The Molecular Mechanism of an Electrolyte."
He defined an electrolyte as a body in solution or state of fusion, capable of being instantaneously decomposed by a current of electricity, and he claimed that if the explanation he offered was adequate for the electrolyte it must hold good for the constitution of the matter in the universe, so that the treatise on the electrolyte has a most important scientific bearing. The method of investigating the action of one body upon any other, he reminded his audience, was brought to a high degree of accuracy by the immortal work of Sir Isaac Newton. He alluded to some observations of the late Professor Cliff Ford, made over 20 years ago, this anorthy remarking, almost prophetically, "We can look forward to the time when the structure and motions in the inside of a molecule will be so well known that some future Kant or Laplace will be able to make an hypothesis about the history and formation of matter."—Nature.
The Cavalry Regiment.
The sabers clank'd, the men look'd young and healthy and strong; the electric tramping of so many horses on the hard road, and the gallant bearing, fine seat and bright faced appearance of a thousand and more handsome young American men, were so good to see. An hour later another troop went by, smaller in numbers, perhaps 300 men. They, too, look'd like serviceable men campaigners used to field and fight July 3—This forenoon, for more than an hour, again long strings of cavalry, several regiments, very fine men and horses, four or five abreast. I saw them in Fourteenth street, coming in town from north. Several hundred extra horses, some of the mares with colts, trotting along. (Appear'd to be a number of prisoners too). How inspiring always the cavalry regiments. Our men are generally well mounted, feel good, are young, gay on the saddle, their blankets in a roll behind them, their sabers clanking at their sides. This noise and movement and the tramp of many horses' hoofs has a curious effect upon one.—"The Wound Dresser," by Walt Whitman.

The English Postoffice In 1677.
The postmasters were free from all public offices, from liability to quarter soldiers, and they received gazettes free of postage. Wherewith they advantage themselves in their common trade of selling drink, and they have their single letters free to London.
The rates of postage in 1677 were comparatively low. A single letter—i.e., a letter consisting of one sheet of paper only—could be sent for any distance up to 80 miles for twopence, and beyond 80 miles for threepence. A letter weighing an ounce cost eightpence for 80 miles and a shilling beyond.
The mails were dispatched from London about midnight on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and were due to arrive in London early on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. They were carried on horseback at the rate of five miles an hour, and they were liable to a detention of not more than half an hour at each postoffice (stage) on the road. England was divided into six runnings, or roads—viz., west, Bristol, Chester; north Yarmouth and Kent, starting from Plymouth, Bristol, Chester, Edinburgh, Yarmouth and Dover respectively. —Notes and Queries.

She Married Him Anyhow.
A convict at a French penal settlement who was undergoing a life sentence desired to marry a female convict, such marriages being of common occurrence. The governor of the colony offered no objection, but the priest proceeded to cross examine the prisoner. "Did you not marry in France?" He said, "Yes." "And your wife is dead?" "She is." "Have you any documents to show that she is dead?" "No." "Then I must decline to marry you. You must produce some proof that your wife is dead." There was a pause, and the bride prospective looked anxiously at the would be groom. Finally he said, "I can prove that my former wife is dead." "How?" "I was sent here for killing her." And the bride accepted him notwithstanding. —Denver Times.
The Difference.
Dr. Pellet—All you need is 25 cents' worth of soda bicarbonate, dissolved in water. You'll get it at the drug store—at the drug store, remember, not at the grocery.
Patient—But what difference does it make, doctor?
Dr. Pellet—It will make a heap of difference to you. If you go to the grocery, you'll give you so much that the dose'll kill you. —Boston Transcript.
Pecciliar to the State.
"So far as I know," said the doctor in answer to a question, "the shortest word of four syllables is 'Ohioan.'"
"Well," observed the professor, removing his cigar from his mouth a moment, "it's the same way as regards the offices. The Ohioan always gets there with fewer letters than anybody else." —Chicago Tribune.
Hard Requirement.
He—I'm about to get a good position under the city; nothing to do practically but sit still and look wise.
She—Oh, I do hope you'll be able to all the place! —Cincinnati Enquirer.
