to teach the natives something about Physics. One group of informers worked on thirteen different cases, teaching each a littleg but only one, Hocus Pocus Fergus, was able to survive the terrific mental strain of more than a month's work. Others studied solids in the University of Geometry, and discovered many perfect ones, some resembling to a marked degree the human head. During June of that year, a dread disease called Graduation carried off all but one or two of the original population, leaving the control in the hands of the settlers. The disease also took two or three of the settlers themselves who had been too diligent and were therefore too weak to throw off the con- tagion. Still, this was the greatest year that the domain had ever witnessed. The colonists were called ttSeniors, a derivation of the word t'Seigneur,', meaning ttnoblemanf' As would be expected, they ruled wisely and justly tsee Appendix, Note lj. By this time they had become highly intellectual and would tolerate no common literature. A work by one Edmund Burke was even criticised and condemned. Finding prose too dull, they read the poelns of Milton, Burns, and Shakespeare, This too became tiresome, so, for recrea- tion, they read at odd times a worthy contemporary work called t'Bill Nye's History of the U. S. Under Hocus Pocus Fergus, they studied the compo- sition of compounds, using a text-book on Alchemy tderived from Chemistryj. Perhaps the most familiar was a compound made of saccharine matter, lac- teal fluid, and cocoa. At the University of Geometry tsee Appendix, Note QQ, Analytics was studied, combined with a subject known as Algebra. Dominating in all branches of learning and athletics, they now give prom- ise of making Burke and the Admiralble Crichton shiver in their graves, and were Milton alive, he would not need eyes to see the brilliance of their careers. Should that plague, Graduation, e'er return, let us hope that all or none may gog and that in the future state all may strive even more nobly and with more success than they did as the Class of ttTwenty', in old iVest Side. APPENDIX Note 1. The signing of the Declaration of Independence will be celebrated hereafter on the fourth day of July of each year, except when that date falls on Sundayg in such case it will be observed either Saturday or Monday.
