Rousg PhyglcaI Laboratory.


The Alumni Bulletin of the University
of Virginia for May in its Notes and
News says;
Mr.. c. B. Rouss has lately added
SO. 900 to his prineely gift of $4,000 for
the completion of the Rouss Laboratory
Under the heading of Rouss Physi-
cal Laboratory, (" the same magazine says;
1.-THE New Physical Laboratory of the
University of Virginia, now completed
and occupied, is in several ways probably
unique, and there is certainly nothing to
compare with it south of the Potomac
The ampitheatre in which the larger
classes meet is lighted entirely by sky
light, having no side windows whatever.
The apparatus room, instead of contain
ing glass cases for the apparatus. is in it
self single glass case, surrounded by
double windows. fitted with rubber joints
to exclude dust.
THE laboratory for junior experiments
accommodates fifty students at time,
and located as it is on the ground floor,
surrounded on three sides by numerous
large windows, its construction is almost
ideal, so far as stability and light are
concerned. In one portion of the base
ment is the electrical laboratory, and in
another is a large room containing piers
for delicate work requiring extreme sta
bility. Other rooms are arranged for op-
teal experiments, and among the many
interesting pieces of optical apparatus
either secured or ordered, two are worthy
of especial mention. One of these is a
Nicholson INTERCHANGEABLE only one
in the South. And of still greater inter
est is a Rowland concave grating of eIk
feet, focal length, intended for delicate
spectroscopic work. This beautiful in
sirument is equal to the finest in the
world in fact, in this country. Proba-
bly, the only duplicate of it is that in Pro
fessor Rowland's own laboratory in Bal
timore.

watch-maker's lathe and other delicate
appliances, that when necessary the finest
instruments can be made on the spot.

situated tower, in one corner of which
can be swung DO foot pendulum for
gravity experiments. In another, wires
can be arranged for torsiop experiments,
and still other work is to be conducted in
a third.
Everywhere throughout the building
the greatest care has been taken to secure
those three essentials to a Physical Lab
oratory- namely, light, stability, and uni

The Costa Riean counterteiters.

For months the Costa Rican counter
feiters have been issuing bogus notes of
the government of the island until the
amount, it is said. has reached 81 goo, 600.
Inspectors of the. secret service bureau
were chiefly instrumental in bringing the
indicators to justice. The efficiency of
the secret service is undoubted, but it is
by no means a secret, but patent fact,
that the service that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters does the weak, nervous and dys-
peptic is of genuine value. There have
been from time to time counterfeits of it,
but the miniature note of hand on the Ia
bel, and the vignette of St George and

This tonic absolutely prevents and RENE
dies malaria, rheumatism, liver complaint
and dyspepsia.

Shall 1t Be Forrest w. BROWNE

The name of Col. Forrest w. Brown,
of Charles Town, has been several times
prominently mentioned inconnection with
the next Democratic nomination for Con-
gress in this district. Other gentlemen
have been named to either of whom,
should the nomination be cast that way.
it would be our pleasure to give hearty
and cordial support II. however, it
should be the will of the next
Democratic nominating convention,
after looking over the district to seek a
most available man, strong with the
masses of the people everywhere, talented
and with full vigor to make sharp and
decisive campaign throughout the dis
trict, and Col. Forrest w. Brown, of Jef.
ferson, should be named as the standard
bearer, not only would his own county
give him the largest Democratic majority
ever recorded here, but we believe there
would be developed throughout the dis
trict tidal wave of enthusiasm that would
brook no defeat, and success would be
more than assured
