UNIVERSITY LECTURE.


Mr.. Geo. o. James of the depart
ment OF physics was the lecturer at
the University lecture hall last even
ing. His subject, "on some recent
advances in spectroscopy," was com.
prehensively and interestingly treated.
A number OF stereopticon We've were
given to illustrate various points OF the
discourse.
But Il brief synopsis OF the topics
treated Is here given:
Since light efiect0 take time to
travel through space we aesume some
medium through which this ra-
diant energy is propagated. Such a
medium We call the ether. The
method OF propagation Of this disturb
anco lie known as wave motion. The
ether is disturbed ia much the same
way ss water when waves pass
through II. Differences In color are
simply dlherences 10 wave length. A
wave causing the sensation OF red

uuce THIS wave length tho ether vi
nrates 3,945, 900, 100000 times per
second. For The green the wave

When heated give continuous spectra
while heated vapDrs give speCtra
characterized by series OF bright lihel.
when the light 10 passed through these
Vapors We get dark lines. The tpect-
rum OF the sun gives these dark lines.
BY comparing the eun's spectrum
with the speotra OF the elements Row
Iand has shown that all the elements
on ehrth with tho exception OF about
hlteen are present In the outer layer Of
the sun. II tue earth were heEted
to incandescence 1t would present
ABOUT the same appearance as the sun.
star spectra are in general different
from the sums spectrum often show.
Ing the presence OF elements not COM
mon on earth and absent Ia sun. Spec.
trum OF comets show the preseucs OF
carbon In tue nucleus; spectra OF
nebul@ show that they are gases
simply.
In conclusion the lecturer said:
"Our knowledge OF the vlsible
universe ia thus extended by means OF
the speGiroscOpe to an extent almost
incomprehensible."
The mex! leclu5e of the course ia to
DO on the subject, Early Greek Art,
ana will be delivered on next Tuesday
night by Professor Byron Cummings.

Notes for the Housewife.

A very simple and effective way of
getting rid of the small ants that in
wade kitchens and other places where
foods are kept is to take a spoonful of
granulated sugar and thoroughly mix
with it sufficient quantity of Paris
green to slightly color it; then place it
in their paths or haunts They are very
fond of sugar or anything sweet, and will
greedily devour the mixture and die.
The same mixture strewn about ant hills
on lawns will speedily destroy whole
colonies.
Fruit stains may usually be removed
by pouring boiling water through the
stain, but if this fails, add oxalic acid,
dissolving three ounces in a pint Of
water. Soak the stain in this solution
