Miles ScrOEgins' First Effort,

Miles Scroggins was more than so
years old, noted for his drOll wit and
funny sayings, but had never attempt
ed to make a speech. All the MEM
bers of the club believed he could
speak if he would try, and frequently
attempted to have him make the eff
fort.
1t was finally determined to compel
him to speak. So, upon the assembling
of the club, he was called upon and,
declining to comply, the boys grabbed
him and forcibly placed him upon a
table, amidst the cheers of the crowd.
To the establishment of all he mani
tested great embarrassment. The
crowd continued to yell, and final
ly he broke forth as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Oh, I beg
your pardon, there are no ladies pres
ent, and ID few gentlemen, If
any,"
After this sally the curiosity of the
crowd was satisfied, and no further
effort was made to have ScrogginS
make a speech.-Buffalo Courier.

The Pressure of Light.

M. Lebedew, of Moscow, has ex-
perimentally demonstrated that the
pressure of light agrees with the
theoretical determination of Clerk
Maxwell. Maxwell's theory declares
that the combined effects of the elec-
trostatic and electrokinetic ten
sions, give as resultant a pressure
in the direction of the propagation
of the wave. He announced that the
concentrated rays of an electric lamp
falling on a metallic disk delicat ely
suspended in vacuum might pro-
duce an appreciate mechanical eff
feet. The radiometer of Crookes is
a device which arose from this sug-
gestion, though it's motion is chiefly
due to heat. M. Lebedew has elm
mated the effect of heat and meas
ured the effect of the light from an
arc lamp and finds, in this very deli
cate experiment, results that agree
within ten per cent. of Maxwell's the.
oretical amounts. They show that
the pressure is directly proportional
to the energy of the light and entire
ly independentsof it's color.-N. Y

WANTED THEIR PHOTOGRAPHS
Tender But TantaliZing Farewell of
Cornell Undergraduate to
the Faculty.

Cornell university has it's fair quota
of harum-scarum youths, who, after
pyrotechnic careers, suddenly disap-
pear from the university's ken. A
wasteful genius was recently hailed
before the faculty to answer charges
of such violent fractures of discipline
that even in his most optimistic mo-
ments he had not hoped to explain
or disprove them satisfactorily, says
the New York Tribune. However, he
faced the music and even stood with
a considerable degree of composure
while proof after proof if misconduct
was presented. Finally when the evil
dence was all in and the hush fell
on the assembly that precedes sem
tence, the prodigal raised his down
cast eyes, and, in voice full of emo
ton, said:
81 have only one last request to
make.''
''And what is that?" asked the pre-
siding officer.
''That you will give me your pro-
tographs to remember you by"
With this parting shot he lodged
out of the door, which he had taken
pains to stand near. The professors
lay back in their chairs and laughed
long and loud. Then they took the
vote that severed the official connec-
ton between themselves and their
tender young friend.

IT, s1se q :! THUS
"To THE JeDGMINT DAY"

When things went wrong, grandfather
he'd say:
'Well, the world rolls on to the Jedgmlnt
Day;
An what should we sigh fer-an' why
should we care?
The reckonins comm sometime-somC-
where!
Bear with the winter, an dream O. the
May:
The world rolls on to the Jedgrint Day!"
When things went wrong. an we knelt in
dust
To thank the Lord fer the poorest crust,
An the old-time friends that we thought
we knowed
Had left us friendless along life's road,
1t was always nothin' but this to say:
1.-THE world rolls on to the Jedgminf
Day!'
So we stif1ed the sigh, an tried fer the
song,
Known God made the right, an would
reckon the wrong;
An trouble seemed lighter, an even the
night
Had stars never dreamed of to make 1t
bright.
We can bear, we can suffer along the
worlds way,
Fer "The world rolls on to the Jedgmint
Day!'

Specimens of Professors wit.

DIR. Varnadoe, a noted professor of
Greek, is very fond of flowers, and,
some days ago, on returning from his
college duties, he found in his front
yard a pestiferous calf belonging to a
neighbor. The doctor gave chase, and
the animal plunged toward the flower
pit, and in another instant crashed
through the glass cover and mixed at
random with the pots and plants be-
low. When another professor passed
few minutes later, he said, gravelf:
81 do not understand, DR.. Varnadoe,
why you should object so seriously to
having a modest cowslip added to
your fine collection of plants" The
doctors frowning face relaxed. "Ah,
Sanborn," he retorted, ..you see, this
was only a worthless bulrush. Arr

OF NEBULOUS ORIGIN.
The Invention of the Thermomet tie r
Is Lost in a Cloud of Uncertainty
and Dimness,

Like many another invention, before
and after it, the origin of the Their
mometer is rather nebu1ous, although
the instrument has hardly been known
for more than 300 years. AS general
rule this invention is ascribed to Cor
nelius Drebbel, who lived in Alkamaar,
in North Holland. The date of the in
vention is usually given at 1888, says
the Philadelphia Record. Viviani and
Castelli have refuted Drebbel's claim
and ascribed the invention of the Their
mometer to Calico, giving the year
of the invention as 1897. In recent
monograph published by H. C. Bolton
the results of Viviani and Castelli's
Investigations are confirmed, with the
exception, however, that 1892 is fixed
upon as the date of invention.
The instrument which Calico in
vented seems to have been an air Their
mometer; at all events, such is the
reasonable conclusion to be drawn
from description published by P.
Castelli in 1858. A pupil of Calico,
Sagredo, mentions device for measur-
ing heat as early as 1913 and describes
it's invention to Calico. Sanctorius,
contemporary of Galileo's, speaks of
the thermometer "as very old in
strument."
The thermometer received it's pres
ent form at the suggestion of the
Academia del Cimenta of France, and
Grand Duke Ferdinand II. used such
an instrument in 1641 in carrying out
experiments in incubation. At that
time various cities in Italy had become
more or less familiar with the new de-
vice for measuring heat. In 1862 Rob-
ert Boyle exhibited a thermometer to
the Royal society. Hooke was the
first to determine the zero point of the
scale, so that it could always be as
certained, the standard used being
the melting point of ice. The second
fixed point was determined by C..
Rinaldini in 1894. The use of mercury
as thermometeric fluid was known to
the Florentine academicians. The most
accurate mercury thermometers were
first made in 1714 by Fahrenheit at
Da4tzig. In spite of the manifest in
adequacy of the Fahrenheit scale it is
still used to this very day in England
and North America.

One Of these persistent sight-seers came

DINNER INVITATION
FORMALLY RECALLED
Sta emeHf From
the White House.

In view of the unfortunate
occurrence in the Senate Satur-
day, through a prominent
Democratic Senator it was in
timated to Senator TiIlman
that he should withdraw his
acceptance of the Presidents
invitation to the dinner to
Prince Henry-the President
hoping that under the cjrcWm-
stances the propricty of such Il
course would be- apparent to
Senator Tilman.
Senator Tillman refused to
adopt the course suggested by
his colleague, and fatty declin-
ed to withdraw his acceptance.
The President was therefore
compelled To notify him that
the invitation TO the dinner
was Withdrawn.
IN invitation was then sent
to Senator Martin, the next
