From St. Johns College.
ANNAPOLIS, June /, 1896.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Commencement exercises Of st.
Johns college will begin June 18th
and end June 18th, when the de-
grees will be conferred on the grad
uating class. Charles Ii. Shaffer,
of District No. s, Garrett county,
haying the highest average, will
deliver the valedictory. Mr.. Shat
fer has easily held first place ever
since he entered st. Johns in 1892.
He has made a splendid record in
that especially difficult study Of
mathematics, having an average for
the last three years of ninety-siX per
cent. This is the highest average
made in this branch for a number
of years. In physics, studied
chiefly as applied mathematics, he
has an average Of ninety-nine per
cent.
In the military department he
also stands high. He has the best
record in class room work and made
also an excellent officer in the bat
talon and was one of the three that
are reported each year to the War
Department as being especially
proficient in military science.
The boys of Garrett county have
always done we'll at st. Johns,
coming from county that has the
shortest term of school of any in
the state, they have always distin-
guished themselves when placed in
active competition with those from
the best preparatory schools in the
country. E. Ii. Sincell, 'S3; Jas.
d. Hamill, 'S7; James A. Nydeg-
ger, 80, ard G. Elwood Offutt, '97,
have all left records here of which
their native county may we'll be
proud. Hoping that Garrett may
always be so well represented, | am,

HOW MANY CANDLE POwERs
How to Measure the Lighting Power
and Eject of a Flame.

From PearSon's Weekly.
This question and its answer have been
until recently of interest to scientists
only. But since one method OF lighting
is competing with the other for superior
ity, the question of lighting power has
seemingly become a public matter. How
many candle power? The question is very
simple, and yet mysterious to the layman.
For measuring the lighting power, the
most reliable results are obtained by
means of grease spot In its most sim
pie application the experiment can be
tried easily at home. A sheet of white pa
per with a grease spot in the center is
put into frame, and placed between two
flames of different lighting power; for in
stance, between an ordinary candle and
lamp.
When the frame is equally distant from
the two unequally bright flames, the
grease spot can be seen plainly on both
sides BY moving the frame with the
sheet of paper slowly towards the less
brilliant light, that is, the candle, it will
arrive finally at 8 point where the grease
spot has apparently disappeared on both
always occur when on both sides of the
paper an equal brightness prevails and no
side light exists. Having reached this
point it can be ascertained how much
stronger is the light of the lamp than that
of the candle.
If the candle is 20 inches distant from
the paper and the lamp GO inches and yet
the brightness on both sides of the paper
is the same, then the light of the lamp
will be as strong as that of nine candles.
The calculation is based upon the dis
tances, the figures of which are multiplied
by themselves and then divided; here, for
instance, 80 time 60 divided by 20 multi
piled by 20 equals g.
This, of course, is the most printing
method of measuring light but it is ID
principle of all the delicate instruments
used in the laboratories.

Friendship Among Animals.

1t is generally supposed that when wild
animals of different kinds meet it is
natural instinct for them to rush at each
other and fight till one of them has fallen.
But there are a great many cases Wher5
Platonlc friendships exist between the
nercest beasts. They often do favors for
one another in the most friendly spirit
The most picturesque of animal friend
ships exists between the buffalo and the
famingo. This curious pair have often
been seen walking about together, the
hamingo usually Derched comfortably on
tne Dunalo's back. The great test of any
friendship is the extent one will go to
perform service for a friend. The good
friendship existing between buffalo and
namlngo bears such a test very well. As
the pair move about the famingo care

Semi-CentenniaI.

Two years hence will occur the
completion of the first half-century of
tho history Of Wisconsin as state,
and press and people have commenced
the agitation Of the proposition to
duly observe the occasion in some
commemorative manner. The com
mittee of one hundred having the
matter in charge recently met in
Milwaukee to talk over the subject
and appointed a subcommittee OF
twenty-five clothed with authority to
solicit subscriptions to the amount of
four hundred thousand dollars for the
blowout. just how much enthusiasm
will be developed in favor of the
enterprise is not yet apparent, but it
is probable that this soliciting com
mittee has contracted to do a pretty
big job, as most people will find some
way OF working off their surplus OF
exuberance without chipping in to
raise a fund of four hundred thousand
dollars to enable them to do so.

The Normal Lecture Course.

The prospects for the proposed Nor
NAL Lecture Course are, on the whole,
encouraging, it being more than
likely that sufficient tickets viii be
sold to warrant the selection of some
good material. Thus far something
over 100 have been sold TO students,
and not quite half that many to cit
liens outside the school. 1t is TO be
hoped that the citizens appreciate the
fact that at the extremely low price
charged for the five lectures, $3.50, or
thirty cents a lecture, it will be
possible to secure high grade talent
only on condition that a large mum Der
of tickets are sold. The more sub
scriptions, the better the speakers. 1t
should be also noticed by those who
are undecided whether to purchase a
course ticket or TO pay for and attend
but part, that there is no agreement
made that the single admission shall
be but fifty cents, the statement upon
the paper being that single admis-
sions will not be less than fifty cents.
Attention is called to this fact for
fear that Misunderstanding may
arise. For instance, we will suppose
that the patronage of full course tick
| cts would seem to warrant bringing in
Madam Camilla Urso's grand concert
company. 1t would be unreasonable
to suppose that tickets for such an
entertainment would be placed at
| fifty cents when people go long dis
| tances to the large cities and incur
considerable expense to hear the most
wonderful woman violinist in the
world, as Madam Urso undoubtedly is.
1t should be distinctly understood
that this is no money making enter
prise but determined, persistent eff
fort TO give TO the students and citi-
Zens of River Falls a series of high
| grade entertainments at a nominal
cost, and all that those having the
matter in charge desire to do is to get
good talent and make expenses. The
thing that will be kept in view is that
this is to be popular lecture course,

At present it looks as though we
shall not be able to begin the course
until after the holidays, though it is
still possible that sufficient names will
be secured to have one entertainment
before school closes next week
Whatever the citizens do and say tC
further the good work-and many ex
pressions of interest and encourage
ment are heard-will be so much in
the direction of an intellectual uplift
for our community. w. j. b.
