An unusually valuable addition has bean
made to the series Of Johns Hopkins Uniyer-
sty studies In historical and political scien CO
in the shape OF an extra volume entitled
Forentine Life During ne Rena,SsGncr. by
WALTER b. SCAIFE. We have had. OF late. sew
eral popular books about medieval Florence
including one In the Story OF the Nations
series, but these have been mere com pilntions
Of the facts and conclusions attained ut first
hand by students. That objection cannot. Of
course be brought to tho general history of
the Renaissance by Burckhardt. but in
that work florence receives only incidental
treatment. Mr. Scaife. on tn. other
hand. while not overlooking the deductions
drawn by other explorers OF the same field
has gone for himself to the original docu-
ments. and has. therefore. produced u book OF
permanent value. ono Of the peculiar merits OF
his narrative Is his willingness to admit when
lie is perpeNod or bafIled. as. for instance, in
the unsolyed question touching the relative
value of the gold form and the silver florln in
me!iaval times. and of the purchasing value
OF gold In the year 400 compared with that
which it possesses to-day The secret of the
difficulty encountered In liking the purchasing
value Of gold In Italy five hundred or four hun
dred years ago lies In the fact that the price of
bushel OF wheat Ia always made the test:
whereas, it was precisely the products OF an
agricultural district which would be most
likely to undergo tremendous variations in
troubled times. All attempts, however, to
suggest better standard OF value have hith-
erto proved futile.
The author seems to consider that tbs
Italian Renaissance began with tho browning
OF Petrarch at Rome. and ended with the death
OF Michael Angelo. that is to say. extende ed from
tho middle OF the fourteenth to about the mid
die OF tho sixteenth century. 1t is an elias
tic definition. for Petrarch could not read
Greek. and the influence OF classical sx-
ample was we'll nigh spent before the long
life OF Michael Angelo came to close. 1t
Is certain that the Renaissance has moth
ing to do with some OF the authorities
which are cited in this volume. and which are
either contemporary with the last years OF

Let us glance now at the appliances OF learn
ing in medieval Florence. about which we
have heard good denl. and the dissemiua at on
OF education. about which we have heard but
little. The University OF Florence received an
imperial diploma in 1863. having procured the
Papal sanction at an earlier date. AS
early as 1859 there were five colleges
or faculties embracing theology. canon law.
civil law medicine and arts Wc should here
mention that. in l472. tho principal chairs
were removed to Pisa. leaving in Florence only
those OF the humanistic branches The mum Dor
of professors ut any ono time does not appear
to have been very large: in l4ll, for instance.
they numbered twenty one. The salaries paid
for PROFESSIONAL work varied greatly. A pro-
fessor OF medicine in 1854 received but twenty
gold forms per annum. while. at the same
time a contract was made with another to give
lectures on jurisprudence ut a salary of 800
gold forms. The latter seems to have
been the highest compensation given to
any one connected with the University at
Florence. though. after the trapsIerence
OF most OF the chairs to Pisa. salaries
OF 1850 and LAO forms are men
toned. When the purchasing power OF gold
in those DAYS 10 considered. it will be recog-
nized that these were enormous stipends for
university lecturers. From the middle Of tho
fourteenth century q large amount of money
was annually expended In the collection of
manuscripts. 1t was discovered almost by ac-
cident that there were precious documents in
some OF the monasteries. and the searching
out OF manuscripts from hidden corners Of
Europe and Asia became passion. Lorenzo
de'Medici not only con mlssioned his business
agents to buy valuable manuscripts wherever
they were offered for sale. but he sent Giovanni
LascAri twice to the Orient for the express
purpose of discovering and purchasing ancient
goddess. On his second voyage LascAri
bought two hundred Greek works. eighty
OF which were not. up to that time. known to
the Italians. Lorenzo is credited with u year
ly outlay for books OF thirty thousand ducats.or
about seventy five thousand dollars in weight

GENEVA, ILL.,, May 17.-With roar

sion that shook every house and shat
tered half the windows in town, the
plant of the Charles l.. Pope glucose
works blew up this afternoon. Seven
men were instantly killed and one

The cause of the explosion is not
known. 1t occurred in the third story,
near the generator, which was not in
use today. The explosion blew out the
entire west side of the building, hurling
bricks and machinery fully 100
feet from the building. A
wild panic ensued among the 70
employees at work when the acci-
dent occurred, and several sustained Sc
we're bruises in the mad rush to escape.
Many jumped from the second story to
the ground or adjoining sheds. All the
bodies save Jensen's were quickly recov-
cred and placed in the morgue.
Charles l.. Pope, head of the concern,
said tonight the loss is about $3.50. 1000,

PRAGUE, May 1.-THE Bohemian diet
was the scene today of a display OF vio-
lence and disorder unparalleled in the
protracted and bitter struggle for su-
premacy between the Czech and Ger
man elements. A bill was before the
diet intended to strengthen the position
of the Germans, as against the Czechs.
The young Czechs filibustered to prevent
it's passage. The president rebuked the
tilibusterers and ineisted that the COM
mittee report be heard. Herr Funk,
chairman of the committee, entered the
tribune and attempted to speak, Some
utterance by Funk was construed by
Czech deputy, named Brzorad, as
alluding to him. The offended deputy
climbed on the tribune and seized Funk.
A lively wres thing encounter ensued,
and Brzorad finally succeeded in eject
ing Funk from the tribune amid the in
tense delight of the Czechs.
Everybody in the house was shouting
and shaking fists and angry challenges
to fight could be heard here and there.
uuk WAS nuTllnE ueuhuc6 8b uie 6H6-
mics, when Czech Deputy Vaeaty inter-
rupted him with a large pot of ink.
Encouraged by the discontinue which
the ink caused among their foes, the
Czechs next attacked the stenographers
and maltreated several of them. Prince
Lobkowitz (the president) was himself
menaced with personal violence and de-
clared the sitting closed. The prince
has since been occupied in preliminary
arrangements for duels with several of
his antagonists.
The scene in the diet caused great ex-
cittment throughout the city. The
students OF the university broke out In
a riotous demonstration and wrecked
the windows of the club houses and the
mansions of people obnoxious to them.
The police are guarding the streets in
the vicinity of the diet. The diet will
probably be dissolved.
liz is stated that the bill opposed by
the young Czechs proposed virtually to
separate the northern districts OF Bohe-
mia in order to give the Germans con-
troll over local affairs.

BER1Ne SEA AKBIrKATIoN.

Sir Charles Russell Continues HIS Argu-
ment for Great Britain.
PARIS, May 17.-Sir Charles Russell
continued his argument before the
Bering sea tribunal of arbitration today.
He presented additional documents de-
signed to prove that the Bering sea was
not mare clausum over which Russia
had exercised sovereign domination.
Great Britain emphatically denied that
Russia had any right to the 100 mile
limit claimed in the ukase of 1921.
The duke of Wellington refused to nego.
tiate the treaty of 1925 until Russia
withdrew its pretentions to the 100 mile
limit, and Russia admitted in 1926 that
she had not power to interfere with
foreign vessels fishing in the Bering sea.
Sir Charles quoted from the American
historian Bancroft and the Russian his
torian Tikhmenief in support of his state
ments, which were controverted by
American Agent Foster, lively alterca-
tion taking place.
Sir Charles next proceeded to discuss
the question of section of article 6
Has the United States any, and if so,
what right Of protection or property in
the seals frequenting th6islands of the
United States in the Bering sea when
they are found outside of the ordinary
three-mile limit?
Sir Charles said the United States
could not exclude other nations from the
Bering sea unless che possessed sover-
eign dominion over the sea, and such
claim beyond the three-mile limit was
repugnant to all principles of interna-
tional law.
The tribunal adjourned until Tuesday.
May 23d.
Copies of the report of Henry W. FL
lott, United States treasury agent in
1890, concerning the seal rookeries on
the Pribyloff islands have been distrib-
uted by British counsel among the mem
bers of the tribunal. Sir Charles Rus
sell and Sir Richard Webster regard this
report as of the greatest Importance in
support of their case.

THE NORWEGIANS' DAY.
CROWDS OF soANDINAyIANs AT
TBE woRLD's FAIR.
The California Exhibit Augmented.
The National Commf ssion Adopts

Director Thomas

CHIcAao, May 17.-This was Norway's
day at the worlds fair. Norwegians
came by thousands to celebrate the ded-
ication of the Norwegian building at
the fair and commemorate the separa-
ton OF Norway from Denmark, this
being the anniversary of that event.
Many prominent Norwegians from Wis
consin, Minnesota, the Dakotas, and
other parts Of the northwest, even from
the state of Washington, were present.
Norwegian societies turned out in full
force. The exercises began at 2 p. m. in
the festival hall, capable of holding
10000 people, and it was filed. They
opened with the singing of the Norwe-
gian national hymn by the audience,
followed by an address by Professor
Julius Olsen of the university of Wis
consin; Professor Rasmussen, the Nor
wegian author; Hon. N. Havgan and
Hon. I. K Boyeson of Chicago.
The Minnesota state building was
formally dedicated today. The exercises
were under direction of the Minnesota
Editorial association, 200 of whom were
present. 1t was intended to have the
formal opening today, but it became
necessary to postpone it until June 1sU.
Three carloads of exhibits for the Cal
ifornia building reached the fair TODAY
making thus far total of II cars that
have arrived from California for the
state exhibit, not including shipments
by private exhibitors.
The national commission had an inter-
esting session today. The report of the
committee on music calling for the res
ignaton of Theodore Thomas as director
of music was adopted 80 to 10. There
WIS heated debate over the report, the
friends of Thomas making strong fight
for him. Whether the commission has
the power to enforce the requirements of
the committee report is question yet to
be decided.
The knowledge that the Sunday open
ing question was to be discussed by the
national commission caused much in
terest. A large bunch of kilograms pro-
testing against opening were laid on
President Palmer's desk. The reeolu-
tions adopted by the local directory to
revoke the Sunday-closiug rule and re-
fund the money appropriated by con-
gress was brought before the commits
sion, and after short discussion re-
ferred to the judiciary committee.
The dedication of the Illinois state
building occurs tomorrow. Warm, clear
weather today and the Norwegian exer-
cises brought the attendance of the fair
up to near 100000.
Today's session of the National
Editorial association opened by G. @.
Mathews of the Memphis Appeal
Avalanche with an address on Column
bus. An executive session followed.
