SAYINGS OF THE GREAT:

Beauty is a great thing; but beauty OF
garment or house and furniture are tawdry
ornaments compared with domestic love
All the elegance i'm the world will not
make a home; and would give more for q
spoonful of real heart love than for whole
shiploads of furniture and all the gor.
geousness all the upholsterers in the world
can gather.-Oliver Wendell Holmes.

ready made several object-glasses
for various observatories, has con-
ceived the idea Of enabling five or
six hundred persons assembled in

colossal telescope would have a
diameter of over Aft. 1t would be
the largest object glass in the
world. 1t is supposed that with

Notre Dame would be clearly
visible, and that If regiment o.

Ligh. Rays We Cannot See.

Light rays beyond the red en- d
OF the spectrum are Invisible to
the human eye, though we are
sensible to them as heat. Phil
osophers were divided In opinion
as to why the eye was insensible
to these rays, some adopting the
explanation that such rays do not
get through the outer parts Of the
eye, and others the one that
they reach the retina, but are in
capable OF exciting it. Some expert

scientist favor the latter expla-
nation. The apparatus used for
the investigation contained fluor-

IN SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS
Harvard Declines Oxford and Cambridge's In.
vitation for International Athletic Contest.

Boston, June Gin the reply declin-
ing the invitation of Oxford and Cam
bridge universities for an international
athletic contest, the Harvard athletic com
mittee says that it could not accept with
out assuming, in appearance at least. that
Harvard and Yale occupy tie prominent
position among American universities
which is held among the English uni
versites by Oxford and Cambridge.
AS there is no foundation in fact for
such pretension, Harvard desires to avoid
all semblance of spirit of eAnlusiveness
toward her sister universities. Further
more, in the latest competition among
American universities Harvard won only
third place, and it would not be fair to
the other colleges for Harvard to engage
in an international contest this year.
Continuing, the reply holds that an in
ternational student competition would be
best arranged either bowen two groups
of universities fairly representing the
general body of students in each country,
or between single universities on each
side. With Yale's concurrence, should
the English universities be agreeable,
Harvard would be pleased to arrange for
q competition on the basis of the invita-
ton of the American Intercollegiate As
ISOLATION.

the mystery was lifted from the unique
business carnival, the first of its kind in

full of piguant variety, and happy local
hits, opened by Mrs. r. J. Houghton,
brilliantly costumsd as the Queen of
Trade, followed by grand parade of

forward singly and gave recitation or
song concerning the firm she represented.
The whole was interspersed with music,
singing, pantomimes, tableaus and local
burlesques.

The Annual Boat Race from Harvard
and Columbia Crews.
Columbia Has An Accident-Harvard Good
Second But Outrowed

New London, CT, June 27.-Yale won
the freshman's race after desperate
struggle, which lasted from start 70 finish
The Harvard crew made wonderfully
plucky race for the full length of the
course, and was beaten by two-thirds OF
a length. Columbia was never in it after
the first dozen strokes. The bow man
broke the catch on his lock just before the
half, which made the crew helpessly out
of it, although it kept on to the end
The approximate time as given to the
press by Mr. Adee: Half mile Harvard,
Pm, 1Ss; Yale, Pm, eos; Columbia, 2m,
25s. Mile, Yale, Am, IS; Harvard, I'm,

Those who saw the race assert that
there was scarcely open water between
Yale and Harvard at the finish, and that
Columbia could not have been more than
dozen lengths in the rear The time
made is considered exceptionally fast I'M
der the conditions. The water was excel
lent and better race could not have been
rowed
The result was somewhat of a surprise.
Columbia poor showing was especially
unlocked for, although it is generally at
triuuted to her two accidents.

effects from the result of the race, but are
very low spirited. At their quarters evi.
