THE vE1oc1TN OF LIGHT.
NA,n 1nrI. TJ7HSs

lEtiu FORK Times.
I would seem that the scientific world Of
America is destined to be adorned with new
and brilliant name. Ensign A. L. Nicholson,
graduate Of the Annapolis Naval Academy, and
no1 yet % years Of age, has distinguished him
self by studies in the science OF optics which
promise the discovery Of method for u1easur-
ing the velocity Of light with almost as much
accuracy as the velocity Of an ordinary pro-
jectilc, The two methods now used for this
purpose give difference in the rate Of move
mfnt Of light Of about 1000 miles per second.
Ensign Nicholson believes that be can, over
space OF 1900 feet, SO exactly measure the rate
Of movement rs to reduce the possible error to
twenty miles in the second. Some time ago
he made an address before q scientific body
on the subject Of Slight" which attracted
much attention, and won him the warm encour-
aagement in the pursuit of his studies Of Prof.
Ne"comb, the astronomer, and number Of
other eminent scientific gentlemen at home aud
aDrcad In that address he mentioned the ex-
per1ments ne had made toward measuring the
velocity OF light, and strongly interested were
MS hearers, that some who had the ear OF the
Goveenment besonght Congress to grant an ap-
preparation Of S20, 900 for tie purpose Of ena-
perlments on larger and more elaborate scale
than he had been able to do, having to dcfray
the expense out OF bis own slender par. Unoer
orders IRON the Navy Department, Ensign
Nicholson has erected, Or is erecting, the appa
ratus necessary to determine his theory practic-
ally, and in two or three weeks the observations

1.-THE SMOKING SONG"


Graduates OF the principal American colleges,
WHOSE student~days have fallen within the last
quarter of century, will recall one of the
songs they used to sing, entitled "Thc Smok-
ing Song" which begins:
Floating away. like the fountains spray,
Or the snow-whitc plume OF n,aloen,
The enaokc-wreatlls rise to the star-lt skies
Witn bllssfui fragrance laden.
And OF which the refrain is:
Then smoke away till golden ray
Lghrs up the dawn OF the morrow:
For cheerful cigar like i shield will bar
The blows Of care AMI sorrow.
This song is perhaps the most striking poem
in English literature which the theme OF tobac-
CO has inspired; and it is, at the same time,
almost the one lyric, remarkable from literary
point Of view, which American student life has
produced. Its author is Mr. Francis NJ. Finch,
of the Yale class Of 1919, who, as is the case in
many other notable instances which might be
cited, has subordnated his literary tastes to de-
yotion to his profession. A well-snown MEN,
bcr OF the Bar in Western New York, he has,
however, not completely abandoned his worship

don't somebody write s1noking-sonE!" MIR.

been remarkable, at once withdrew into uuiet
corner. and in few minutes produced the first

Mr.. CRUDE, maker Of wax images 10 this
city, has constructed what is cai1aed to be the
largest globe of the world, showing the ranges
OF mountains and other peculiarities Of the sur
face Of the earth In Felief, now in existence.
Its diameter is four feet and about one inch,
The scale being one in 10,000,o00, The range OF
even the Himslayas would not be visible upon
this globe If the SAME scale were adopted for
the elevations rs for the map, and accordingly
the relief is made upon scaie which exag-
gerates lights twenty times. The oceans, seas,
and rivers are colored blue; the con-
tinents are yellow: the glaciers, ice
bergs, nnd floating cakes OF ice white.
ftains md mountain ranges arc clearly
shown, and every part Of the world is exhibited
III its true character. Red, black, and white
lines cross the globe to Indicate tAe isothermal
belts, the variations OF the magnetic needle,
the date line where ships correct their logs by
skipping from Saturday to Monday, and vice
versa, and other facts Ut like character. The
map has been corrected in the light OF the latest
discoveries down to two months ago. The
northern coast Of Siberia has been much altered
in the aliases by the Nordenskeldt expedition,

marked rs 5O0 miles inland. and being compell-
ed TO 70 hundreds OF miles around promoutorcs,
