This artiole contains a number of statements that in the inter- est of fairness should be corrected. In the firstP las to o the statement ment tl tat 'whole- sale copying was going on' is entirely too oomprehensive, and would oast a serious reflection on the sohool in general, and would implioate those who were perfectly honest. The hoots are the following: During the first day of the examination I saw quite a number of attempts at com- munication, three of which are reported. I had previously motioned them several times, stating my duties in the matter. As to the statement that four or five can- didates were caught in the act and order- ed from the room, I wish to say that only =one under my inspection and one under Mr. Kilmer's were sent from the room. The statement that others were found with notes up their sleeves is not true. Also the statement that 'there were evi- dence of thorough organization' is not suited to describe the facts. I have no doubt from the attempts I saw, that a number of students premeditated getting assistance dishonestly, but that does not uooessarily imply or at all justify the ex- pression used. I regret exceedingly that a report of this character should have been given publicity, as its tendency would be to in- jure a sister school. Begirding the sen. timent of the townspeople about the no. tion of the examiners, I believe that all who are acquainted with the facts are satisfied that we have only done what is required of us by the regulations. Fur. thee, from conversation with Mr, Phillips I have been assured that we have his hearty support in bringing all guilty part. ies to the punishment they deserve. G. K. Morns.

At Geiseuheim on the Rhine, Eduard Von Lade has erected a private residence which is unigne in its way. Combining all the eomforta of the oonutry home, the proprietor has built for himself an as• tronomioal observatory over the centre of the building, whore he has the largest telescope in private possession in Ger- many. This is not, however, what makes his property so very different from others. The proprietor is an enthusiastic horticulturist and viticulturist and owns the finest fruit orchard and most ex- pensive collection of roses in Europe. Upon his domain may be found 200 diff- erent epodes of peach tree, about 50 different grape vines, several hundred ebony trees, 2,000 pear trees trained into different shapes, 2,000 apple trees, 400 plum trees, oto. Hie "roam:him" eon. tains several thousand rosebushes, among them many of the scarcest and most precious specimens known, and with all this oolloobion Mr. Von Lade is his own chief gardener. Near his residence he has trained the toes into the oddest shapes, and the grading of the grounds around the house is the finest known specimen of the baroque style, so much in favor a hundred years ago. Mr, Von Lade is also an enthusiastic admirer of Prince Bismarck, in whose honor he has trained four palmetto pears so that they assume the nam= of the aged Chancellor.

The examination of the body of Wm. Metcalf, the farmer killed by lightning near Kokomo recently, revealed a auriou0 state of facts. It was found that nearly every bone in his body was shattered and reduced to small splinters without burn- ing or lacerating the flesh. The horse that Mr. Metcalf had under a tree for shelter while in the field raking bay was affected differently. The animal, though instantly killed by the same electric shaft, remained standing on its feet, its bones, joints and musoles being made rigid by the fatal shook. The very many friends of Principal Bates, of the Woodstock Baptist College, formerely of London, will regret to read the following report taken from the To- rontoWorld :—Rev. Bev. S. S. BatCol- lege 1- lege street Baptist church, received of ]oeived a telegram Monday requesting him to come immediately to Muskoka to the bedside of his brother. Arriving, he learned that his brother, Principal 3, I. Bates, of Woodstock Baptist College, had been seriously poisoned by poison ivy. Pain was first felt in the thumb, but quickly spread throughout the body, and although three doctors have been in constant at- tendance, his reoovery is despaired of. The ooderich Signal says :—Some of the visitors at Menesatnng Park last Thursday, enjoyed a sight which, as the saying is, was nob on the program, One of the picicniokers discovered a large party of red ants on the side of the lake bank, and, following them up, found that they were attacking a colony of black ants several yards further up the bank. These black ants were not the oommon garden pest, but a larger speciee. The reds and the blanks were a good match as to size, but the former were the better fighters. When a red and a blank ant met, the red fellow would quickly double up his opponent and carry him off down the bank to the home of the attacking party. When the writer arrived the blanks were pretty nearly cleaned out, and the victors were beginning to fight among themselves. Naturalists tell us that the red ants, who are a race of war- riors, make slaves of their captives and force them to provide food for their masters, but we didn't stay to watch de- velopments in that direction. If, upon the occasion of another visit to the park, 08 see the poor blacks carrying wood and drawing water while their captors sit by looking on and knocking the ashes off the ends of their cigars, we shall let the readers of the Signal know all about it .
