The Centennial Celebration and Commence

will occur on Thursday, the Gath inst 1t
will be remembered that, while lIT4 Is the
date Of incorporation and the first Trustees
meeting was held in that year, active opera
tons were not begun until January /, 1901.
Hence, this is the Tooth anniversary counting
from the date OF aetusl opening, and in all
this time the good work Of the school bss
been uniform and continuous. 1t would
seem ungrateful and unappreciative, il such
an occasion were allowed to pass unnoticed
Efforts have been made to provide a worthy
Centennial Celebration and the program will
be found more than usually attractive. 10
addition to the usual exercises of the gradua.
ting class, addresses will be delivered by His
Excelency, Governor Lowndes, Hon. Barnes
Compton and Judge b. r. Burroughs, oil
Illinois. A fine band OF pieces will supply
music for the occasion and larger crowd
than usual is expected We hope that the
Alumni will turn out in full force to partici-
pate in doing honor to the dear old Alma
Mater. The reunion ofod friends and school
acquaintance will be found very pleasant,
and if they would take occasion to organize
an Alumni association on permanent basis,
they could bring strong influence to bear
on the future success and prosperity of Char
otte Hall. We give below the program Of

X-Rnying n Painting.

Not only have the Roentgen rays beef
Employed with success to test the gen.
uineness of jewels, and also, it is said,
to detect flaws in armor plate, but a
story comes from Germany that they
have proved the authenticity Of a paint
ing which was attributed to Albrecht
Ducrer: It a head of Christ painted
on the wood, and supposed to have been
executed in 1921. 1t is very dingy with
age, and has probably been restored"
more or less. After several efforts n
photograph was successfully taken by
means of the Roent IN rays, which re-
vealed much that tie eye could not per-
ceive. The features of the thorn
crowned Jesus, the drapery about the
shoulders, and the hands which graspei
the latter appeared much more distinct
ly than in the painting. But there also
came to light Latin Inscription in
quaint Gothic characters, the mono
gram of some grand duke (for whom,
perhaps, the picture was painted), the
artists initials, and the date "1524."
This date was accepted as the correct
one. The photograph reveals the grain
OF the wood and the fiber Of silk hand.

"FLlES" ON VESSELS.
Not the Little Insect, But n Weather
Vanc to Aid in Steering.

Not the Little Insect, But n Weather
Vanc to Aid in Steering.
The "fy" at the masthead is often
used as sign to steer by. 1t revolves
on pivot, and hence, like weather
vane, shows the direction from which
the wind is blowing; whereas, flag
attached to halyard streams direct
ly astern, or at an angle more or less
affected by the speed and course Of the
vessel. A glance at the fly having shown
the winds direction, glance at the
pinnacle shows from what point of the
compass it comes. Then, by watching
the fly, and thus keeping the ship al
ways at the same angle to the wind,
you arc able to keep her on her course.
The ships of different nations have
distinctive flies. The American and
the English fly is little triangular
pennon. German ships often have a
small tapering bag at the masthead,
and French vessels 'dog-vane"-a line
of corks with colored feathers on
wire. The steamers of the French line
from New York to Havre have dog
vane at each masthead-it is one of
their distinguishing marks.
Steering by the fly is one way of
steering by the wind, but there are
other tricks for finding the wind-point.
A sailor can find the point of stiff
breeze by simply letting it blow against
his face. In a light air, almost calm,
he lifts his hat and turns his head until
he feels the cool breath on his moist
brow, which is far more sensitive than
his sun-tanned face; or he moistens the
end of his hand, and turning it toward
the wind, waves it gently back and
forth and to and fro, until the coolness
of the air is felt on one side of that
narrow surface and not on the other.
In heavier airs he will moisten the palm
of the hand and hold il fiat to the wind.
The wind-point being found, the ship
is sailed as close to the wind as pos
sible, the belmsman keeping his eye on
the sail-leech. The least quiver, and
turn of the wheel keeps her off
enough to fill her sails; but with an eX-
perienced hand on the wheel there will
be no quiver along the leech. For an "a.
b." can tell by the "fecl' of the helm
when the ship is about to come up into
the wind. As a vessel "comes up" the
strain ON the rudder is lessened, and by
quickly checking her, he keeps the
sails rap full and asleep"-keeps them
from quivering ng-and holds her on her
course without so much as glance at
the compass.-Gustav Kobbe, In st
Nicholas.
