AROUND THE WORLD.
Richard Chandler's Proposed Trip Arou nd
the World in q Dory

Richard Chandler, who will attempt a vow
age around the world in boat l3 feet long.
is a native of North Truro, where he was
born, Sept %. 1910. The boat il to be built
and fitted out by DR.. Bibber of Bath, Me-,
who furnished similar craft with like intent
for John Traynor. Traynor left Bath about
two years ago, but never has returned, moth
ing having been heard from him since he
left Newfoundland.
Chandler informed the doctor ahou, a weak
ago, that ne had made up his mind t. row
across the ocean, provided boat of the same
class and equipment as the one in which
Iraynor made the attempt could be furnished
him. 81 have been in dory since was 10
years old, and what don't know about that
class OF boats ain'r worth knowing. I have
felt great interest in the attempts that have
been made, and firmly believe that | can
make the trip"
Crossing the Atlantic is only a small part
of the voyage" said the doctor after ar
irving IN England you are to go by water to
Norway and Sweden. thence to France, Spain
ana the Medrerranean, across the Red Sea,
through the Suez canal, across the Iodan
Ocean and Souttern Pacific to Australia.
-"N"ST " "audh Suu tHlUd, anu from tnere
by steamer to San Francisco, then overland
to the Mississippi, wh~re the dory will be put
into the water for you to row down that riv er
TO the gulf and around to New York It is
big undertaking, but believe with the right
boat and man it can be accomplished
81 feel like trying it, said Chandler. "For
the past seven years have been thinking of
making the attempt to row a boat across the
Atlantic, and have come here to enter into
an agreement with you. Furnish the boat
and am your man"
The boat in which Chandler is to cross will
be IL feet long at the bottom with about IA
feet gunwale. She lie to have water-tight
compartments built forward and aft. The
only open space in her will be a cockpit in
the centre In width she will be four feet
and IN depth 30 inches. Besides large sup
ply of food, she is to be fitted with life suits,
cork pockets life lines, Boynton rubber
suit and everything that can comfort the voy-
aoer. John Williams of Georgetown, who
built the dory Harold T Bibber, in which
Traynor sailed, will build the new boat for
Oh andler. She is to be similar in build to
that Gory.-Boston Globe.

COLBY UNIVERSITY.
Meeting of Trustees aud Choice of PrOfes {.
sor OF Astronomy.

The trustees of Colby University held a
meeting at the Free Street Baptist church in
Portland Tuesday. The principal business
transacted was the election of a Professor of
Astronomy and Physics.
The choice fell upon Prof VIM A. Rogers
of the Astronomical Observatory OF Harvard
University. He was born at New London,
Conn, in 1882; was educated at De Ruyter
Institute, Alfred Academy and Brown Uni
versity. He entered Brown in the Sopho-
more class, in 1854, and graduated in 1857.
He was elected tutor in Alfred University in
1857, and Professor of Mathematics and AS
tronOmy in the same institution in 1853 He
held these positions for Is years. He was
appointed assistant in the observatory of
Harvard University in 1870, and Assistant
Professor in 1877, which position he now
holds.
In 1888 he was President of the Seventh
Day Baptist General Conference, and delivered
the anoual address. His special work at the
Harvard Dos rvttorv consisted in the obser-
walton OF all the .U,r4 jpwn to the ninth mag
nitude In the bit u-tAren SOC and $50 nortn
This work has orcuplrd ii wears for the OBJ
servations, and fifteen years for their reduc-
ton. rhis was work undertaken by the Har-
err principal observatories of the world. He
received the degree of A. NJ. from Yale col
lege in 1876 He is also one of the four
Americans who have been elected honorary
members of the Royal Microscopical Society,
and is a member of several other scientific
societies. His principal reasons for willing
ness to 20 to Waterville are to associate
more with young men,to do class room work,
and to carry on special Investigations, for
which he has the apparatus; also to be free
from his night work in practical astronomy

The recovery of digestion, and the resump-
ton of activity by the liver, bowels and kid
neys, are milestones which mark our progress
on the road to health. They speedily become
perceptible when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is used by the invalid. Nothing So surely and
expeditously consumes the distance to the
desired goal. As no bodily function can suf-
fer interruption without impairng the general
health, the system can never acquire per-
feet vigor, health's synonym. until that func-
ton be actively resumed. Take, for instance,
digestion, suspension of which is invaria
bly, rectitied by the Bitters. II the organs
upon which it devolves grow weak. bilious
ness ,constipation, headache, poverty of the
blood, and a hundred other symptoms super.
vene, which indicate Enthusiastically the bane-
full general influence of dyspepsia. The dis
appearance of all these symptoms. through
the use of the Bitters. shows with what thor
oughpess it removes their cause.
