"nich IN Stlu Being Carried ON In w es-
ieyan University-Progress of the Expcri-
ment-object of the Work-To Test Laws
Of the Conservation of Energy.
Middletown, March 29.--Assistant
Electrician Smith of Wesleyan univer-
sity who has been confined in the col
orimeter at the college laboratory for
the last week, is still in his box, and is
well, enjoying life as much as could
be expected under the circumstances.
Yesterday he ceased his hard labor
and began period of rest. which will
last until Tuesday morning. Wednes-
day, Thursday, and Friday of last
week he spent nine hours per day solv-
ing complicated mathematical problems
and translating technical German
works on electricity. He has been
sleeping about eight hours per day.
Saturday and to-day he has been ex-
ercising his mind as little as possible.
He has spent most of his waking hours
making q scrap book, which requires
practically no exertion, either mental
ly or physically. The most marked
difference between the experiment as
conducted in Mr.. Smiths case and
Prof. Towers is that in the latter the
subject was allowed to do practically
what he pleased while in the box. MI.
Smith, however is allowed to do only
certain things, and then only as the
experimenters permit. The object of
the experiment is to prove whether GER
tain laws which are known to be SO
oil t1-,rn ir1
the animal body. In the words Of
professor at Wesleyan, to ascertain
whether the laws of the conservation
of energy and of matter hold in the
animal body as they do elsewhere in
the world. 1t has been proven that
there is no loss of energy; that is that
energy manifested as heat to-day may
be light tomorrow and electricity the
next day, but that it still exists as the
same amount of energy. The same
holds true in the way of matter. An
atom of matter manifested as coal to-
day may be known tomorrow as a car
bonic acid and the next day in another
form, but 1t is still matter. 1t is the
desire of the Wesleyan experimenters
to learn just how far this law is APP
plicable to the animal body. The re-
suits Of the experiment, however, will
| not be known for several weeks, as there
will be 275 sheets of foolscap paper fill
ed with notes to be reduced to a tan
gible basis before anything definite can
be told. Mr.. Smith will remain In the
colorimeter until Friday or Saturday
Of this week, if the experiment pro-
greses favorably, and when he comes
out no other person will be placed in
| the box during the present college year.
The time will be devoted to what is
! known as blank experiments until Oc-
| tober or November. when active work
| will be again commenced.

7hera Ia No Change.

Paris, March 29.-There has been no
yesterday. The Temps, commenting
upon the resignation of the foreign
portfolio by NJ Berthelot, says that If
the recent foreign policy was not sue
cess the change has been inspired by
Prime Minister Burgeois, who is an
able parliamentarian, but an mex
perienced diplomat Therefore NJ. Bour-
geois in the foreign office will possibly
be more dangerous than was NJ. Ber-
thelot. France must know who leads
and where she is led.

Colonel Molina Reports the Capture of IA
Rebel Camp.

Havana, March 29.-At a meeting of
the leaders of the autonomist party
held here to-day it was decided to take
no part in the approaching election of
members of the chamber of deputies,
but to vote only for two senators, one
to represent the university and one the
economical society. The decision is
causing much comment.
Colonel Molina reports the capture
of a rebel camp at Guasimil near Cor
raj Palso, province of Matanzas. The
troops attacked the camp with ma
chetes. The rebels fled, leaving behind
them fifty-five dead. Many of their
wounded they carried away with them.
People in the vicinity say that many
other bodies We're strewn around. The
government denies the rumors of an at
tack upon and capture of the city of
Pinar del Rio by the rebels under
Maceo.

" YEW HAYEN !" WREELS.

The New Haven Bicycle academy,
corner of State and Eld streets, is a
very popular resort for bicyclists, and
particularly those who want to learn
to ride. One spacious rink Is thronged
each day and evening by enthusiastic
beginners, who in an incredibly short
time become good riders. Competent
teachers are there to instruct novices.
and the walls and posts of the building
are padded so that when new rider
insists on going it alone" without the
aid of his teacher he runs no risk of
getting hurt. Among the recent pu-
pills at the rink is a. gentleman who took
his first lesson Saturday evening. He
weighs over 200 pounds. But that
made no difference, as the New Ha-
ven'' wheels are staunch and capable
of sustaining a much heavier weight.
One day last week Superintendent
Wood of the New Haven Bicycle COM
pany and his son rode on a New Ha-
ven" in the rink. Their united weight
is 435 pounds, which should be consider
ed a pretty good test of the way in
together, and of their capacity to sus-
tain a solid weight with ease. Mr.. 1.
N. Damn, the president of the company,
learned to ride last week in three brief
lessons. Anyone seeing him riding
now would reasonably think it was no
new thing to him, as he rides with ease
and grace. Last Saturday the COM
pany turned out fifty-two wheels. and
the total umber for the week manu-
factured was 210, making a daily aver
age of thirty-five They are arrang-
ing to make forty a day, as orders are
pouring in from many sections of this
and other countries, including Austria
liza. England and Scotland. Quite an
interesting exhibition is given daily
by Mr.. B. A. Hollenberg, a celebrated
fancy and trick rider. Mr.. H. is we'll
known in New York and Brooklyn, and
has few equals as a daring and Won
| derfully skilled rider. He can ride in
almost every conceivable position. and
almost takes your breath away as
you witness his many startling tricks
on the wheel. The public are invited
to visit the academy and see for them
| selves.

Berlin, March 29.--The changed stu
alton in the Transvaal has reawakened
the excitement in Germany against
England. On all sides the preparations
which the beers are making to resist
England's encroachments are approved
The consensus of opinion in the Ger
man press is that the denial made by
Mr.. Chamberlain, the British secre-
tary, that England has purchased Della
goa Bay is too vague to suffice The
National Zeitung says: England can
suppose that the friendiiness of Ger
many toward the Dongola expedition
implies a pledge that she will remain
passive in South Africa
The Hamburg correspondent declares
that Germany will adhere to the ieclar-
ations made in the reichstag by Fre-
herr Marshall Won Bierberstein, minis
ter of foreign affairs, that Germany will
not permit German interests to be en-
croached upon.
The Tagelich Rundesauch says:
Has Germany built up an empire
through blood and iron only to look on
while neighboring nation is setting
the German nation at naught?h
The Weltpolitik says: ''The people
are standing before the choice whether
to be the hammer or the anvil. They
cry out that they must be the anvil"
The Vossische Zeitung urges the gov
ernment to propose that the powers
neutralize Delagoa Bay and keep the
Transvaal independent.
