The hygroscopic elementused by the maker is a small bundle of human hair, which he saysexpands and contracts with moisture more uniformly than anyother substance and has better lasting qualities. Besides the temperature, vapor pressure, relative humidityand dew point, the Polymeter indicates indirectly four addi-tional items too technical to be detailed here. It is, therefore,deservedly styled a Polymeter. It is a reliable, scientific instru-ment, and not a toy, as most hygroscopes are, and is, therefore, awelcome addition to the physical A RECENT number of the Harvard Advocate speaksas follows on the value of Undergraduate Indi-vidualism: Anyone who has watched a flock of sheep cross-ing a wide plain or filing through a ravine musthave noticed that there is a great difference in sheepnature. There are some sheep that eye their com-rades, taking extraordinary care that they keep inthe very midst of the bobbing woolly throng. Othersheep walk along the edge of the small army, partly becausethe pasturage is fresher where many feet have not trod. Yetagain other sheep caper for a bit to one side of the crowd, theirfeet twinkling merrily over the free open fields; then in an in-stant they are back, with a fearful and guilty expression in eachround eye. Finally an occasional prodigy is found who enjoyswandering for long hours by himself, ruminating alone. Thereis reserved for him one of two fates. He may fall over the nextcliff. He may return, a Titan in sheep experience, to lead theflock. All men,
