Yassar College proposes to carry
the'war into Africa, by holding in
Boston, on the 18th and 18th of
June, examinations of girls for adj
mission to its freshman class. These
examinations are to be in writing
upon the announced preparatory
studies, and will be conducted by a
member Of the faculty of Vassar.
Eastern New England furnishes, it
is stated, about one-sixth Of the
pupils Of Vassar, and the arrange
ments made by this college are,
therefore, a great convenience to the
girls Of Boston, Cambridge and vi
entity. Since Harvard obliges these
would. be students to 90 all the way
to Poughkeepsie- or elsewhere-for
the education which Boston boys
may get by staying at home, there
is pertinence in the visit Of the
Vassar examiners which would not

she millions with which Harvard il
endowed were set apart for the in.
struction Of girls.

Mr.. Edison, who, it will be re-
membered, is somewhat deaf, writes
to a Boston gentleman that he has
invented a new diaphram which,
attached to his ear, will so gather
and condeuse sound vibrations as
to enable him to hear with ease the
slightest sound, even that of the
dropping of a pin. 1t is his inten-
ton in the future to apply this to
the monograph, so that speeches
or debates may be registered at a
distance from the speaker, AT
present one may apply it to his ear
in a crowded assembly and catch
the words of a speaker at an almost
incredible distance.
