There is no'other college which gets out a Sunday paper. As a matter of fact, it is likely that the Sunday pa pers from Detroit get'more attention in Ann Arbor than does thb college paper. The situation in Ann Arbor cannot be anything like that in Ithaca, where the Cornell Daily Sun takes the place of a morning dally for the entire town.

Listen: •"Havana, J^n. 20.—My Dear Daugh ters: It is with great gratification that I am able at last to accurately determine the date of. my departure from th'ls city for my beloved ^laryland home, which, I am happy to say, I hope never to leave again. My business affairs in South America have terminated tar more suc cessfully than I had expected, and If, on my return, I And my charming daughters and all my friends enjoying half as good health as I do, then shall be happy in deed. 'I purpose leaving here on the 24th on the Habana, which Bails for New York, and if everything goes well will be with you on the 29th. Your loving fa ther. HENRY FAIRFAX. 'P. S.—In my wanderings in South America I came across a very line—' Here I stop reading. There is a blotted word on the paper which I cannot make out. Lillian, my sister, is quieting down somewhat, looks over my shoulder to assist in solving the knotty problem. '—whom I call the Cherub, and as he is a splendid specimen, I Intend bringing him with me. Send Jackson to the sta tion late in the afternoon. 'FATHER.' "Joy! joy!" cries the irrepressible Lillian, clapping her hands and hug' ging me. "After all these years he is coming home. Oh, how thankful am!" Gently I disengaged my sister's arms from around my neck and wipe away tears of joy. "God has been very good to us," I say, impressively, "ever since mother died. Let us thank him for it." Taking the letter from my hand, Lilliafa essays to read the blotted word, finally uttering a little cry of vexation. "What can it be?" she says again and again, and her per sistence causes me to look up. "Oh," I say, carelessly, "probably some native of the jungle—a mulatto boy, perhaps or maybe it's a dog." Silence again for a full minute. Then: "Rose," says Lillian, solemnly, weighing each word, "are you blind? Do you not recall what a practical joker father is?" I readily yielded this point. No jol Her man ever lived than Henry Fair fax, is the comment of those who know him and I have had reason to remember many of his tricks. "It's as plain as day. The Cherub, as father calls him, is an ugly, mis chievous, peace-destroying, tantilizing monkey," says Lillian, dwelling on the syllables of the adjectives to give them proper weight, "and that blot on the pa^er is made purposely to set his 'charming daughters' to guess ing. So there!" I sink back in my chair, perfectly aghast and unnerved. "What! a monkey in this house, known of all homes for its order and nicety a monkey here to pull Rover's tail' and to frighten Aunt Chloe out of her wits to tear the feathers out of the parrot's tail and to kill my pet canaries, to say nothing of ruining —yes, ruining— my roots and bulbs in the hothouse a monkey in this house to—to—to My tongue falls me. The awful truth of my sister's words comes with crushing force. Long and earnestly we discuss the alarming situation, many are the suggestions offered and plans made for preventing the ene my's entrance into our sacred home. We finally evolved an elaborate plan to take the "horrid" cherub from father immediately on his arrival and iset him free. It is the night before father's ar rival and all is in readiness for his coming. To bed and to sleep we fin ally go—Lilian to dream of the inci dents of the morrow and I to dream of him who is coming o'er the sea, my mind gradually wandering off to one who went down at sea some ten years ago, due primarily to my cruel and heartless refusal of his earnest suit for my hand. It is along toward four o'clock of the next day when the crunching noise made by the feet of a heavy man is heard approaching nearer and nearer. The man stops at the steps of the veranda antl stamps the snow from his feet, then walks hastily up. He crosses the veranda quickly, stops, stamps again, grasps the knocker and gives one loud blow. In a fipsh the door is thrown open .and we fall literally fall, for I fear we make a sad meBS of it—upon the neck of a very much wrapped-up athletic gentleman, whose vice-like grip around our waists nearly takes the breath away. Then —but why tell It? O merciful heaven, the man is no more like my father than I to Hercules! a bit of pathos, all contribute to^mak# the evening one never to he forgotten. I have .not had the opportunity of ex amining Mr, Bancroft's face as well as I would like he iir taciturn and sits in tfaie shadow, and I am rather Bhy after my brilliant performance of the afternoon. "Bancroft, my cherubic friend,'' cries father, finishing the story of his success in the gold mines of Mexico and his ventures in the copper fields of Chill, "you conclude that story, my lad, and tell us all how it was that we came together." Thus appealed to, my father's friend tells how he left the United States for a South American port as a sail or how he suffered, being "green," on board the vessel how at last, when nearing their destination, the port of Africa, a fearful temblor, or earth quake, came, and the vessel was wrecked, all on board perishing save three. "The three—what became of them?" say I, leaning forward, rather pleased with the narrator's voice. "Of the three, one was left on a desert isle, having become crazed after days and days on the sea in an open boat." "How cruel in you! And did he die alone, forsaken by all who loved him, with no hand to help him, no one to hold his dying head?" say I, quickly, my breath coming in gasps. A great fear seizes me, I know not why. The gentleman hesitates and looks at father, who in turn looks sharply at him then father suddenly bolts from his chair, as is his custom when excited over any matter, and strides the floor. "Of that man who was left on the barren island," continues the narrat- Have Come Backfoi hear Before losing cohsblbui&ess.

At dinner I am introduced to a bronze-faced, bewhlskered gentleman of the. name of Mr. Hubert Bancroft, and the: joy caused by my father's return quickly drives away all thoughts of the eventful aftehieon. It is a happy party that gathers before the grate at night Father's thrilling stories of adventure, told in matchless style and 'his description of the peoples among whom it tou Sittttfc iip rival claims for fame and nis fortunebe thrown Wr. irrepres- popular f*vor generally ends in Inspir it humor shaded occMionalljr by.ln* criticism and disgust You, or, "nothing was ever heard, but the boat containing the two seamen was picked up by a coasting vessel and the poor fellows were landed at last at Valparaiso, Chili. Here one of them died, while the other, happening by the merest chance to save the life of an American from assassins in the streets of Valparaiso—" "That's modest, Hubert," my fathei breaks in, speaking rapidly. "Let me finish it. You saved my life from as cowardly and dastardly a set of black guards as ever lived. I found out who and what you were, your condition in life, and so forth, andy together we went up into the interior, struck a mine, and, thanks be to God, here we are—rich men, happy and strong, and with many years of life before us, let us hope." "Mr. Bancroft," say I, nerving my self for a question, the answer to which I fear may kill me, "do you know the name of either of those men who died?" "For the life of me I can't recall either name," he replies, after some reflection. At this reply father stops short in his nervous striding and, look ing at his friend, utters a low whistle —a most extraordinary performance, as it expressed wonder at such a state ment. I grow sucpicious. "And the name of him who was saved was "John Mortimer," is the thrilling response, uttered in a low voice. I gasp hysterically, totter to my feet, then fall in a heap. At this juncture a most unlooked for incident occurs. Father, with a dart'like lightning, springs at the man, snatches from his face a false beard and from his head a wig, and as Jackson and Aunt Chloe —the latter holding her skirts and tak ing most rediculous steps—come to the~ scene in response to Lilian's cries of alarm, my reeling senses perceive the form of him who went to sea. but who was not drowned. "I have come back for you, Rose, dear," cries John Mortimer, holding me in his strong grasp. From your father's lips I heard of your repentant spirit, and at last you are mine, mine!" "Well done, John, my cherubic friend!" I hear the voice of father above the confusion. Then, grasping Lilian around the waist, he points to where we are. "Lilian, my dear," he says, his eyes twinkling, "Look at your future bsother. Look at him, I say!

Vi -f STRUNG ON CABLES Truth and NOVEL METHOD OF SUPPORTING TEMPORARY TRACK. Inventive Engineers Found New Way of Making a Fill Across Marsh Expense 8aved by the Operation. An interesting use of a cableway maE0? «„temP°rary tra°\Ufdde- making a fill across a marsh is ... scribed in Engineering News (New York, October 10). The writer notes is the Lake Shore & Pittsburg rail road, now under construction from Cleveland to Pittsburg. We read: "Although the same general princi ple was utilized in each one of these examples, the local conditions were different and the details of construc tion were independently solved. The first was made over a deep marsh of Cars Filling Embankment from Cable way. too soft a nature for the maintenance of a pile trestle, and the described method was adopted only after several other schemes had failed the second fill was over a deep gorge with good solid foundations, and the cableway piles cured ix to da vs. was adopted primarily because it seemed to be the cheapest and most efficient mtehod, "About 25 miles south of Cleveland the line of the new railroad crosses a swamp on an embankment from 25 to 33 feet high and one and one-fourth miles in length. The bot tom lands across which the line is lo cated are used for raising celery and are overlaid by a black, decomposed vegetable soil, incapable of sustaining any material weight. Soundings showed the greater part of the ground to have a mud crust about 15 feet thick then quicksand for 15- feet, then ten feet of soft clay overlying the hard blue-clay bottom. At intervals the mud crust was only 15 feet thick, and under it was a heavy underground stream flow so gre^it that the water spurted several feet out of the sound ing pipes. These subterranean lakes were so numerous as to make imprac ticable the ordinary methods of fill ing." Two unsuccessful attempts at cross ing were made one by laying track on a trestle built on a foundation of crossed timbers and brush, and anoth er by constructing a pile trestle on the ordinary plan. In both cases the track sank into the mud, and the cable scheme was tried as a last resort. Says the writer: "Two one-and-five-eighths-inch steel cables, about five feet center to cen ter, were stretched from an anchorage in the fill already made, over the near est bent of the pile trestle remaining and on to the farther bents, to which the other end was anchored. Upon these cables ties were fastened, and a track laid, upon which the loaded cars were pushed and dumped, one at a time, at the end of the fill. The first span used was over 200 feet, covering the hole into which the tres tle had sunk and which was at this time a pond of water 175 long and 14 feet deep. On account of the large span made necessary by the impossi bility of driving a trestle bent in this pond, the sag in the cable was. very great, and the instability of the cars quite marked. This, together with the great depth of the fill, necessitated the constant jacking of the track un der the fill. "As soon' as this sinkhole' was crossed a large trestle bent was erected, and the long span decreased by guy supports and timber grillage blocks. The material deposited in this hole (25,000 cubic yards in a month) shoved ahead and completely carried away the remaining portion of the pile trestle which was serving as forward anchorage for the cableway. Timber towers were then built ahead and blocked up and skidded forward as the work progressed. This is the manner in which the work is now being carried on Permanent towers, founded on piles, have been erected far ahead of the work to act as anchorages, and the movable towers are used as sup. ports for the cableway." In the second place where cables are being used there is a deep gorge with solid bottom, but calculation showed that the cable method would be cheap er than the ordinary plan, saving about $1,700, or more than half the cost.
