Harvard's crew win be q lighter one
than that of Yale. Fenpessy and eX-
Capt. Bullard will be absent, as well
as Townsend, and it is difficult to fill

he is setting short, snappy stroke
that is anything but what Lehman
wants. There is, however, plenty of
time in which to alter such matters be-
fore the race.
While there can be no comparison be-
tween the superb course at Poughkeep-
sic and the CLASSY waters of the Thames
at New London, both Harvard and Tale
would rather row on the latter. But
since the choice has been left in the
hands of Cornell, who prefers the
Poughkeepsie course, it is unlikely that
New London will see the race. Cornell
has two contests on her hands, having
to meet Columbia and Pennsylvania i'm
pediately after Yale and Harvard, and
II would be unfair to ask the Ithacan
lads to race ON two such different wa
tiers as the Hudson and the Thames.
Hence they are sure to have their way.

MALADIES OF GEMS.
Some Curious Facts Concerning
Precious Stones.

Some Curious Facts Concerning
Precious Stones.
Among infirmities to which precious
stones are liable is one common to all
colored stones, that of adding or losing
color when long exposed to the light,
says a contemporary. The emerald,
the sapphire and the ruby suffer the
least, their colors being as nearly per-
manent as colors can be, yet expert
ments made a few years ago in both
Paris and Berlin to determine the de-
terioration of colored gems through en-
posture showed that even these suffered,
ruby which had lain for two years in
a show window being perceptibly light
er in tint than its original mate, which
was kept in darkness.
In the case of the garnet and topaz
J the change is more rapid than in that Of
the ruby and sapphire, but there is 4
curious difference in the result in topaz
and garnet; for, while the latter grows
lighter, the former appears TO become
cloudy and dull in hue, losing much of
the brightness characteristic of newly
cut gem.
For ages the opal has had the unen-
yiable reputation of being the most
unlucky of gems, and it is believed that
the jewels themselves are originally re-
sponsible for many of the superstitious
stories connectedwith them, since to the
.polishers and settlers say it is one of the
most troublesome gems on their list.
Microtonists say that the prismatic
colors and fire of the opal are due to
myriads of minute cracks in the body of
the stone, the edges of which reflect the
light and give the hues so much adj
mired. Opals that have successfully
passed the ordeals of grinding, polish
ing and setting do not often crack after
ward, but it is best not to expose them
to even the moderate heat involved by
the wearer sitting in front of an open
fire, for the opal is composed principally
of. silicic acid, while from five to thir-
teen per cent. of water is a combine
ton which renders them very Preacher
GUS objects.
\ volume would not contain the
stories told by expert jewelers. of the
misfortune of pearls. Consisting almost
entirely of carbonate of lime, they are
easily damaged, and when once injured
cannot be restored. Thrown into a fire,
at an ordinary red heat, they are con-
verted into pinch of lime dust; ac-
cidentally touched with any corroding
acid, they are affected precisely as
bit of marble or limestone would be
under similar circumstances. They are
easily cracked and broken, sometimes
they loose their luster through hand
ling, while the acids contained in the
perspiration of the skin have been
known to affect them.-Boston Journal

Triangular. Race On June IS to Be

Icge oarsmen. The coming summer
promises to more than atone for the
stagnation from which rowing has suf-
fered, however. and the triangular race
on June 25 between Yale, Harvard and
Cornell will evoke deeper interest than
any previous race held in America. Cor
nell is flushed by victory; Harvard has
a new system, and in consequence is
full of hope; Yale is the good old Yale
of old, which means that her sons have

should be a pretty struggle.
