THE MAzAMAS.

IL0 we're organized
ION the summit of Mount Hood in
1894, and are composed of noun
tain climbers. Membership is
limited to those who have climb
ed to the summit of a perpetual
snow-capped mountain acceptable
to the club. Its objects are, the
exploration of mountains, the
collection and dissemination of
scientific knowledge concerning
the same.
We acknowledge the following
invitation from the Portland,
Oregon, Mazama Club {;
sMAzAMA FRIEND -
Conforming with the wishes
of the majority, the ninth annual
outing of the Mazamas will be
made to Mount Adams, Washing
ton. Leaving Portland for White
Salmon on the morning of July
18th, 1902, the following day to
Trout Lake where permanent
quarters will be established dur
ing the stay, which will be from
the 18th to the 26th of July, in
elusive. Trout Lake, aside from
being remarkably beautiful and
enchanting is one of the most
ideals and attractive camp-grounds
in the Cascade range. A spot
full of dreamy splendor where
the atmosphere is redolent with
the perfume of wild flowers. The
clearest water, the gamest trout,
the most colossal sculpturing in
Nature, may be seen from it's
shores.
Mount Adams is one of the
giants of our Cordilleran region,
rising IL, 400 feet above the Paci-
fc ocean. A diadem of snow, di-
verging and transforming into
crevasse and glacial cascade.
The customary campfire lecture
and mountain-lo lore will be rigidly
observed as a part of the outing
program. We expect to have
with us many scientists from
abroad and elsewhere.
Trusting you will make com
plete arrangements and be in
readiness to join our f'Mam-ook
he'-he, Hy-as Kloshe, Hy-iu
muckamuck.'
Respectfully yours,
"OUTING COMMITTEE.
Portland, Or, Mar. 26, 1902"
I'VE regret very much that we
will be unable to be a guest of
the Mazama Club on the above
date. We may go to Thunder
mountain, and should we accept
the kind invitation of the Recor-
and go to the new gold fields
by the Salmon route and climb
the Leesburg mountain, we will
be fully qualified for membership
in the Mazama Club.

A SACRIFICE TO SCIENCE.

A Brooklyn physician named Russell
has startled the physicians of his part

self as a subject for vivisection to one
of the Brooklyn hospitals, and his Of
fer has been accepted. Doubtless there
are those who will think that he is
insane or that he has an object to gain
that is not apparent to the public.
1t is true that he makes 1t a condi-
ton that his family, consisting of a
wife and two children, shall be cared
for while he is being used as a subject.
and shall be provided for il he should
not survive the terrible experience to
which he will be subjected, but there
appears to be ample evidence that he
is well able at present to take care
of his family. He lives in a handsome
house in a desirable part of the city.
and is only forty-four years of age.
He seems to be in his right mind. The
hospital which has accepted his offer
has no doubt that he is a sane man.
One of the conditions is that he is
not to be the subject of experiment
longer than one year, and he agrees to
remain with the hospital that long
provided he does not suffer a complete
physical collapse. He is not to have
any compensation whatever, and his
family Is to get nothing If he does not
die during the experiment. DR.. Rus

A case which may. or may not, fix
circulation came before a st. Louis
court the other day. A passenger on a
street car rendered the conductor a
nickel that had been worn smooth.
metal had once been what the passen-
ger alleged it to be-a coin of the
United States, with all of the neces-
sary designs and legends upon it TO
constitute II lawful money; but the
"V' and the goddess had been abso-
lutely knocked out of sight by the
ocin's hard and frequent rubs against
the realities of life. The street car man
not only refused to accept the tender
of the smooth coin, but was so in
censed that a passenger should offer
him any such disreputable money that
he put the man off the car, using some
force. The elected passenger brought
suit for damages against the railway
company, and offered the smooth
nickel in evidence. The court ruled that
there is no such thing as a nickel of
less than face value. A gold coin may
be worth less than face value through
loss OF weight by abrasion, but this is
not true of nickel" even though the
face" showing the value has been
rubbed off. The plaintiff was thereupon
given a verdict in the amount of $4,000
damages.
