STORMS RAGE AT
CAMPBOGARDUS
Winds, Rain, and Lightning Combine
To Make Early Days Full of
Interest for All.
CAMP HOSPITAL IS POPULAR.
Lightning which split the surround-
ing trees to a kindling, a terrific rain,
and a wind storm which amounted to
a young cyclone, have made the week
an eventful one for the engineers at
Camp Bogardus, but have not sufficed
to keep the work of the summer camp-
ers from going on in full swing. Re-
pairs have been made necessary on
several tents, and a large pine which
has stood by the shore of the lake
was torn up by the roots and thrown
across "State" street, but no serious
damage was done, and a great deal of
COL. SHIELDS DEPIC'TS
LIFE OF RED SKIN IN
STEREOPTICON LECTURE.
"The Blanket Indian of the North-
west" was the subject of an illustrated
lecture by Colonel G. O. Shields, of
New York City, in the west physics
lecture room Tuesday afternoon. By
the aid of the stereopticon, the life
and customs of the red-skinned race
were realistically depicted.
"The cowboy and the Indian are
doomed to oblivion," said the speaker.
Having lived among them for many
years he regretted their passing as one
of America's most distinctive factors.
Above all Col. Shields attributed to
the Indian the ability to adapt himself
to any circumstances in which he is
placed.
In speaking of some of his many
interesting experiences, he said,
"Many is the time that I have eaten
dog and pony with the Indian.".

"The great system of ethics from a
biological standpoint is to make the
most of thebody,-to bring into the
world progeny better than you are,"
said Dr. A. S. Warthin in a lecture in
the west amphitheater of the medical
building Tuesday night. The subject
was "Care of the Germ Cells as the
Basis for a System of Ethics."
The speaker made a broad plea for
eugenics and the betterment of the
race, showing by stereopticon many.

conjunction with the engineering stu-
dents, but this year it was thought ad-
visable to separate the two camps, and
the "Bugs"' mess tent has been torn
down, and rebuilt- in their own camp.
Independence day was officially
opened when Mr. -Brodie marched
through the rain and raised Old Glory
to the top of the Camp flag pole. The
day was celebrated by trips to neigh-
boring towns-Topinabee, Cheyboy-
gan, and Petoskey being among the
places visited. Those who did not go
away spent the day playing baseball,
swimming, and lounging around the
camp.
"Doc" Stouffer, '13H, and his hos-
pital have been playing a very import-
ant role in camp, for his successful
treatment of sprained ankles, dislo-
cated fingers and minor bruises, have
made him a much sought man. "Doc"
also runs the camp store and post-
office, and this has contributed not a
little to his popularity.

University Observatory.
The moon may be observed by each
visitor and the, new 12-inch refractor
will be used for that purpose. The
37-inch refractor will be focused on
the star Zega, the brightest star in the
northern hemisphere at - the present
time. There will be instructors in
charge of the instruments to inform
the star gazers in regard tq the dif-
ferent stars.
Many took advantage of the visitors
nights at the observatory last summer
and it is epected that a capacity crowd
will fill it this year.
"all the four limbs are used; and the
tail. acts as a propeller. To shorten
their travel, beavers have built ink
umerable canals in this country. In
many cases, the work might have done
credit to any trained engineer. This
together with many other instances
shows what wonderful thinking power
the beavers possess; yet some natur-
alists are apt to say that animals have
no reasoning ability."
Fifty stereopticon views were
thrown on the screen, illustrating the
habitats and food materials, and other
features of the animal. The nest of
the beaver is built of the branches of
all kinds of trees, though birch and
willow are commonly used. The ani-
mal lives on the barks of trees.
The last of Colonel Shields' series
of lectures will be given this evening
at 8:00 o'clock in University hall. His
subject will be "Snow Slides in the
Canadian Rockies."
