The Program.
The closing recital OF the School of
Music was held at Commencement
Hall on Monday night being one of
the regular events of Commencement
week. The Hall was crowded. Every
seat was taken aud many Of the peo-
pie sat on the steps in the gallery
aisles and stood up in the lower part
Of the buil1ing.
The entertainment furnished was of
a very high class aud the attention re-
cefyed was very good. The Men and
Women's Glee Clubs did very well and
the former sang one selection better
than they have ever sang before an
audience in Morgantown before.
There were no eneores on account
of the length Of the program and the
audience was glad Of this rule before
the performance was ended Every
thing was very good but the length of
the program was against its fullest
enjoyment.
The Choral Society sang several Sc
lections and they were very well re-
eeived. Miss Gilbert and Miss Hayes
had solos and as usual the audience
was highly pleased with their rendi-
tion. The piano solos by Mrs. Aldrieh
Misses Howe, Houston and Hayes
were very much enjoyed. All of the
numbers were excellent and those who
had the affair in charge can well be
proud of the success achieved.
The program was as follows:

to have been held on Wednesday after
noon has been called off on account OF
the smallness OF the numbers of en-
tries This is TO be much regretted
as this event should have been made
one Of the most interesting OF all
those of Commencement week. The
students do not seem TO take the

they should have lively interest.

Graphite's MANY Uses.

One of the most familiar substances
now named in industrial connections
is graphite, and its differentiated uses
and applications are really phenome-
nal. Not a single iron casting, says a
writer in Bradstreet, is taken from its
sand mold without the sand being first
faced by graphite; not a gun projectile
is cast but the steel is melted in a
graphite crucible; not a tool, not saw
is made but from graphite crucible
STEEL every pound of nickel, of copper
of composition metal, of brass, is cast
in some way the metal being reduced
in a graphite crucible. Every printing
house, for the perfection of its electro
types. is absolutely dependent on
graphite; every electrician and every
department of electrical work comes
under the same tribute. Graphite lu-
bricates friction ways, and it is no.
ably the most enduring paint pigment;
the electric light, too, would shine
much less easily but for graphite. the
production of steel rails has an equal
ly intimate relation to this mineral
Among its peculiar characteristics are
its immunity from any effect by heat
and cold the highest and lowest ex-
tremes of either failing TO influence it.

PRESIDENT M'kINLEY
At the Battle of Manila.

The spontaneous outburst Of patriot
ism by the president during his visit
to Chicago to the autumn festival. He
expressed a desire to see Deweys vic
tory as presented at the Cyclorama
Bldg, Wabash avenue and Hubbard
court, and at precisely 1925 a. m,
Tuesday, Oct. 10th, the presidents car
riage, leading about twenty others con-
tanning members of his cabinet and
other notables, and preceded by cav
airy guard of honor, halted at the door,
and Mr.. H. H. Gross. chairman of the
festival industrial parade committee,
stepped forward, received the president
and escorted him to the observation
deck of the Olympia. About a dozen
sailors from Manila were lined up on
each side of the gangway and saluted
the president. He smiled and bowed
very gracefully. and took off his hat
to the heroes. After Witnessing the
great storm, the Olympia's night sig
nails. the moonlight scene, the night
lights of two cities, the beautiful sun
rise, the battle between the L. s. and
the Spanish fleets and the destruction
of the Spanish Armada, he turned TO
those around him. and pointing to the

all in line, this is a wonderfully i'm
pressive scene, every American should
see it." Just then the big eight-inch
gun of the Olympia doomed out a
presidential parting salute. and he re-
marked very real and passing down
the gangway, entered his carriage and
was whirled away while thousands
who had gathered on few moments
notice sent up cheer after cheer for
the president of the great United
States.
The Battle of Manila has earned a
national reputation, its merits as an
educational feature, and the wonder
fully realistic scenic effects has earned
the Endorsement of the president and
the people. The first year it has been
on exhibition 1921 people nave wit
messed the great scene.

Wonderful Illumination.

Niagara Falls is to be Illuminated
by electricity during the coming Buff
falo Exposition This will be the oc-
casion of what will doubtless be most
brilliant and startling illumination
The idea is to erect a series OF tall tow
ers on both the American and Cana
dian sides of the river. On the top OF
these lofty spires huge electric search
lights will be placed in such manner
that they may be played on any part II
the Falls. The imagination may pic
ture the dazzling effect that will be
produced when a score of those power
full instruments of illumination are
brought to bear upon the rushing wa
tiers as they tumble irresistibly over
the rocky ledge into the depths be-
meath. A constant change of colorS
will be used in the manipulation of the
searchlights, so that now the Falls will
be like molten silver, again a flood of
crimson. again as green as old ocean
itself, and SO on through the whole
gamut of colOrs of the painters palette.
The astonishing effect Will be still
further heightened by the use of cleo
trio arc lights in the Cave of the
Winds. which will give TO the water as
it falls in front of it a weird, phos-
phorescent glow. The power of this
record king illumination will be all
within easy reach. as Niagara will it
self be made to do all the necessary
work

Recent observations with the seiSmo-
graph at Mauritius have led to the sug-
gestion that not only the ocean and the
atmosphere, but even the land, may
experience the effects of daily tide
running round and round the earth as
it revolves on its axis. But while the
tides in the air and the sea are due
more to the moon than to the sun, the
supposed Land tide" arises solely from
the suns action. Moreover, it is caused.
not by the attraction of the sun, but
by its heat. A wave of depression is
supposed to follow the sun from east
to west, caused by the extraction OF
moisture from the soil At Mauritius
it is found that there is relative up
heaval of the land to the west of the
place of observation from morning I'M
til evening, and a relative depression
on the same side, or an upheaval to the
east, during the night.

There have been various stories
written about the stealing of the Bal
timOre and Ohio Rail Road engines
at Martinsburg. w. Va, during the
rebellion and their transfer across the
country for service on southern rail-
roads by Col. Thomas Sharp. who is
still living in Ohio. Recently, an Of
fetal of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road made some inquiries of old en-
plOyes who were at Martinsburg at
the time the incident happened and
they say that on June 10, 1861. 200
men of Gen1 Stonewall Jackson's
command were de- LIED to destroy the
Baltimore and Ohio's equipment at
Martinsburg. They piled wood and
coal over Il engines and nearly 400
cars and then set fire to them. Only
ten or twelve of the engines, however,
were seriously damaged, and these not
by the fire. but because the water was
first let out of the boilers. Col. Sharp
arrived in Martinsburg on August Is,
1861, and remained there until the fol-
lowing March. engaged in removing
engines. machinery. etc. He took
eight engines across the country over
the turnpike. either to Staunton. Win

duplicate parts of engines and cars
and all the rough iron at the station.
and took away all machinery and
tools which were afterward usedsin the
Southern arsenalS. The country around
Martinsburg is extremely billy and the
work of getting the engines over the
country roads required considerab BILE
engineering ability. 1t has been cur
rently reported in late years that one
of the locomotives was the Winans
camel-back No. 80 which at that time
was numbered II, but Col Sharp did
not care for this class of engines and
took only ten wheel and passenger en-
gines. There was only one eight wheel
locomotive taken and that was No. a.
Som years after the war Col. Sharp
was employed on the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road as Master of Trans

The superior flavor of Smyrna figs is
ascribed to certain Asiatic insects.
which produce more perfect fertiliza-
ton of the fiavors of the fig trees in
Asia Minor than is commonly effected
in other countries. The flavor appears
to depend upon the number of rip
ened seeds in the fruit During the past
year the department of agriculture has
imported some of these insects from
Asia into California, and it is hoped
that they will multiply there and i'm
prove the flavor of American figs.

Mental Effects of the weather.

Every body probably feels that his or
her mental condition depends. to some
extent. upon he character of the
weather. In gloomy weather we are
apt to be depressed, and in fair wealth
er eXhilarated. When the atmosphere
is stimulating, the mental and physical
energies are enhanced. Starting from
these generally recognized facts. Mr..
Edwin G.. Dexter has made a study OF
the effects of the weather on human
conduct. the results of which are
rather surprising He shows. by sys-
tenn of tabulation, that misdemeanors
involving violence, such as assaults,
are more common in bright weather,
and that the same is true of suicides.
On the other hand, mental errors, such
as mistakes in bank figures, are more
common in damp rainy weather His
inference is that the excess of energy
produced by a bracing condition of the
air is responsible for more violence
than is the ugly temper" caused by
bad weather, because the latter, while
lowering the spirits, diminishes the ac-
-ivity of men.
