Peculiaritie. Of K Rays.

Peculiarities of Rays.
There are many curious things about
K rays which seem to puzzle even the
scientists. Signor Briguiti, who has
been making experiments with them at
Rome, says that the visibility of a sub
stance to the eye is no criterion Of its
visibility to the X rays. The rays can
not see through glass, which is trans
parent to the eye, whereas aluminium,
which is Opaque to the eye, is transpar-
ent to the X rays. The rays can see a
splinter of glass in the hand. but not .
splinter of wood. Most inks are trans
parent to the rays, including printers
fink, but some of them are Opaque. The
rays can see through postofice direct
DRY, but If a paper with words written
on it be put in the middle of the direct
DRY the rays will reveal these words
and nothing behind them.

One Wednesday afternoon, Feb
ruary 27th, Soroas assembled in the
parlors Of Mrs. E. L. Dawson's
nome, on west hill, eighteen mem
bers responded to roll call. One
visitor, Mrs. Johns, was present.
Business old and new occupied
the first hour Of tile session after
which the regular program was
taken up.
Mrs. Emerson, secretary pro tenn,
Mrs. j. A. Ware was chosen seere-
tary for the remainder OF the year
in place OF Miss Williams, whose
duties in caring for her invalid
father make 1t impossible for her to
attend anything outside Of home.
One new member, Mrs. Atkinson,
was added to the roll, taking the
place OF Mrs. ]. e. Mathers, whose
removal fran Chickasha to Wichita
Falls, Texas, takes her away from
Sorosis, much to the regret OF every
one.
Prof, Albert E. Marcus, teacher
Of harmony and voice culture was
introduced to the society and made
a short talk on the organization OF
ladies' choral club. The society
was favorably impressed.
The program was then taken up
and proved of so much interest that
The hour for adjournment was near
er elk o'clock than five.
Mrs. Morgan Hamilton's paper
on "Women OF the White House
was, like everything Mrs. Hamilton
writes, as nearly perfect as 1t could
be and was listened to with great
interest by the club. Historical
facts were made interesting and at
traclive by the language used tc
illustrate them. In looking up
material for the paper, Mrs. Hamll-
ton found much that was new 70 the
CLUB.
Each member OF the club had
been requested by Mrs. Hamilton to
represent one OF the presidents
wives and to give some little sketch
Of her life and character.
The following responded; Mrs.
A L Nail as Martha Washington;
Mrs. March as Mrs. John Adams,
Mrs. Donovan as Dolly Madison,
Mrs. Emerson as Mesdames Jack
son ard Donelson; Mrs Ware as
Mrs Taylo, Mrs. B P Smith as
Mrs Polk; Mrs Bigger as LucyWebb
Mrs Crosby as Mrs Garfield;
Mrs z Hamilson as Mrs Mckinley
and Mrs Harry Welsh as MrsCleye-
land.
The sketches were well gwen and
made the program, with Mrs Nor
gan Hamilton as leader, q decided

to us that the Columbia council is

constitution of the State says shall
originate With and be done by the
people.

councils by the constitution, in respect
to bond issues, are restricted TO order

the matter to our attention.

will meet tho requirements Of the city,
whether it be done at present, or after

them it is the one thing needful ard
important Others there are who DO uot
believe there is present necessity for
sewerage, and would decline to petition
City Couocil for 90 election to decide a
bo0d issue.
Those persons who do NEST favor sew
ersge uow have made an effort to
induce Council to take the initial steps
10 furtherance of their purpose. This
The Council have consistently and
persistently refused. Their position is
TOO plain to be mistaken. Their duties
and powers are clearly defined by the
constitution of the State, and they are

We are oot debating the sewerage
question as ell, but merely sbose safe

We eaupos forbear to oose sbas "Ooe of

sewerage of prime importance. and
shese others secondary. Because there
is, by further wise provision of the
constitution, limit beyond which no
city Gao increase its debt Should we
issue bonds for sewerage it is highly
probable that We will thereby increase
our debt to such an extent that these
c.hes things will be impossible.
Municipal ownership OF public us'li
