Miss A. W. C - - th - e.—No, we can't imagine why the alcohol bottle should so frequently disappear from the Science Laboratory. Possibly the presence of that wicked young fellow

R.M.B. may account for the absence of the bottle.

Professor M - - sd - n.—We have been asked by many students for a suggestion as to what you had exactly in your mind when you described it as the hottest temperature on this earth.

A. G. McC - ym - - t.—No, you don't! Once bitten twice shy.

E. Ev - ns.—We have your pome. We print one verse—

"I'm Titheradge Evans, and as slick and as sleek,
As young Johnny Fuller on ten quid a week;
I'm a broth of a bhoy, and a dooce of a knut,
A blood, macaroni, rip-pipper—but
You don't catch me bending!"

G. B. D - ll.—Your parody not quite up to the mark; but we appreciate the line—

"Uneasy lies the kid who collects the half-crowns."
