ROUGH HOUSE.
Ho7c Crimson Students RcIicTc the
NOnOtOHy Of Life.

Cambridge. Mass. March 21.-n studyin"
IIarvard's history, whether through the new spa
crs or the college periodicals, one expression is
frequently used which. although meaning little
to those outside collie sc walls, still has pro
found depth of significance under the telescope
of mdcrSra Iuatc mtcrIr tation.
one reads every and then that "a wild
rough house has thrown Memorial Hall into a
state of unheard of confusion,' that the
pranks OF some little 'muckers' have created a
rough house in the college yard that some
other kind of rough house. different from
either of the two already named has shaken
the old university from its very base.
The frequency with which the expression is
used indicates that it is unalteraEIy fastened to
Harvard-and indeed such is the case.
Rough house" is one OF the regularly cstab-
shcd institutions in Cambridge. From ''Eloody
Monday night, when the freshman is supposed
to take his first lesson in the art to the time
when he has learned to create a disturbance for
the pure love of doing SO, his life is a mere

upon by the outside world, are cataIogucd and

matcally in this way: He had means of meas
uring both the aggregate weight of lot of
particles projected in a vacuum tube and the
electric charges which they bore He thus com
puted that the charge either 1000 times
bigger than the accepted standard for atom,
else that the eleCtrOnS were 50 small that
1.OnO would be necessary equal the bulk of
the atom The latter seemed more probable be
cause Of the velocity developed. Larger bodies,
like atoms. would require more power to propcl
them. A speed nearly equaling, and perhaps eX-
ceeding that of light has been computed from
a number of different kinds of experiments.
When electrons are not being projected from
a substance they may be thought of as moving
either on or in the atoms, and always carrying
negative electric charge. Possibly they revOlve
around the larger bodies, like satellites. Here is
an effect which Zeeman and Lorentz, the Bel
gians who divided a Nobel prize last year,
sign to them. They believe that in the atoms
from which light radiations take place there is
q VibratOry motion OF the eleCtrOn which is i'm
parted to the surrounding ether. If the osciila-
zion tor rotaton) occurs at the rate Of 100000
OOnGO a second red rays will be perceived. If
the motion is faster, then other colors would be
produced. Zeeman is the who discovered
that If magnet placed in the right posi-
ton, when beam of light was examined in
spectroscope. each single line in the spectrum
would become double.
Independently of the lee -ure of Sir Oliver
Lodge and Of Professor Thomson's recent ut
terances, it is of interest briefly to mention
paper read before the French Academy last
month by Nine. Curic's husband. Experiments
have been made with radium at all temperatures
from about 500 above zero, Fahrenheit, to
300 below, to whether any change in the
rate Of radiation occurred. Had the action been
purely chemical, such a change would have been
expected. None detected, however and the
fact seems to prove that the emaEatiOns
matter. not ether waves.

STRONG YOUNG UOMEN.
Dainty Comedy Girls -lbir to Care

1t Was late yesterday afternoon when forty
tired Columbia students. still hearing tn" marks

ton for their annual varsity show or comic
opera which will he given for week. hr-

Sunday c;tlm many Il freshman's heart heats
with the eager nervousness that some of his
more pretcntious brothers and sisters i'll the
histrionc art exhibit ON the eve of their pro-
fessional debut
For eight weeks two score Columbia students
have been rchearsng four times week, until
they have reached higher standard for
this years opera than has ever been attained 10y
any previous Columbia show. All the prepara-
tons Rave been finished. and now there remains
only the test of the first nights performance
which comes tomorrow.
These Columbia shows present a variety of
talent that is somewhat remarkable, considering
that the whole affair is entirely a student pro-
duction, and that every character, whether it be
that of the comedian. the lover or the winsome
heroine is portrayed by men undergraduates.
1t is indeed amusing to see how students with
stalWart figure; and broad shoulders are trans
formed into slim young maidcnS, whose real

they either walk or sing. Blond tresscs. dis

The play that has been chosen for production
this year is entitled The Mischief Maker" Il
is original comic opera in two acts, of which
the book written by Edgar Allan WOoIf
Of the Murray Hill Stock Company; the
music by Clarence j. Penney and the lyrics by
Arthur G. Hays all recent graduates of the uni
yersty. The plot of the play is more or less be-
wildering to read, and requires a diagram AIDE
quately to indicate its various digressions. In
its acting, however, all these difficulties are
ignored in true comic opera fashion, and after
complications a-plenty the curtain falls with
every united to his proper mate and every
body bursting into the customary stirring
chorus
W.. Mitchell as Frenchman. does perhaps the
most amusing work in the play. He has several
funny scenes with q. r. BambaCh, as Petrella
of the Que"n's waiting maids. Lewis Spence

SoRT OF SERMONS SIZE LIKED.

Al a dinner given recently at the University
Club Of Philadelphia DR.. s. Weir Mitchell told
story Of old Scotch woman and her clergy
man. "One Sunday a frieT of mine who had
charge of a country church in Scotland
called to the bedside of a dying parishiOner. BY
good fortune he secured the bishop of the diocese
to fill his place, and he was anxious TO hear how
his people appreciated the bishops sermon.
ARRIVING home Monday morning he met an
old woman, who, although uneducatet,
Igious and walked three miles to church c,ery

Mrs Duncan he said, I suppose YOU had a

The Great chautauaua Work.

The original Chautauqua has now
multiplied to about sixty. held in all
sections of the country. but the moth
er institution continues to lead. Last
year. at the lake resort in western New
York. there was adopted a weekly topic
scheme and it is to be followed this
year Beginning on July 18th. there
will be seven Of these weeks, as fol-
lows: Civic. woman's. missionary. the
liquor problem, popular education, en-
ployers and employees. and. finally the
spiritual. nhe school is to be en-
larged. especially the arts and crafts
and the fine arts and the musical de-
partment strengthened. The feature Of
this, tie thirtieth annual session, will
be the celebration of the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the literary and scien-
tifc circle. that pioneer of those read
ing courses which have been adopted
by many religious interests. and which
have come to number readers all over
the world. There will be a dedication
of a new grove, made necessary be-
cause the grounds were enlarged. This
original Chautauqua has always been
visited in vast numbers by people
from the South, the Southwest, and
the entire West.

which is now the subject of Legislation
in the English Parliament. is the rest

mentioned by the Charles IL. dramat-
lists, who died in Bridewell prison. and
left 91O for a sermon to be preached
at her funeral, on the condition that
nothing shculu be said of her but what
was well. The preacher got out of
the difficulty rather neatly by saying:
'All that | shall say of her is this:
She was born well. she lived well and
she died well; for she was born with
the name of Creswell. she lived in

Rejected by Prominent Club.

Harry Thaw of Pittsburg. brother
of the earl of Yarmouth's fiancee. has
tried and failed to gain admission to
the Metropolitan club of Washing
ton, the organization which turned
down Adjutant General Corbin. In
fact, the two names were rejected by
the board of governors at the same
time. Some of the members enter
tain keen personal animosity toward
young Thaw, and therefore, although
he had the backing of some of the
most influential men in Washington.
it was considered inadvisable to press
his candidacy.

ChiIdren's Holiday Exchange.

Berlin has a child exchange. The
poorer people of the city, who cannot
afford outings, send their children to
country peasants, and receive in re-
turn for an equal length of time peas
ant children who want to see the
city. The plan has worked SO well
that the charitable ladies who originat-
ed it are about to extend it. There is
even talk of exchanging children be
tween neighboring countries, SO that
they would gain still more valuable
experience.

Tn. New Chinese Minister.

Rev. William E. GrifRs corrects a
published statement that Sir Chen
tung LANG Cheng, the new Chinese
minister, is a graduate of Yale. He
merely studied there, being one of
12O students brought to this country
by Yung Wing. The minister ex-
plains that the first part of his name.
Chentung, corresponds to the Ameri-
can John. The middle part, his fam
lily name. is pronounced Leeang. His

HACKS DRAW FIRE APPARATUS.
Town Authorities Of saIina, Kan,
Evolve Good Scheme.

A Kentuckian, who recently visited
Salina, Kan. writes to Kentucky pa
per as follows: Il wish to tell you OF
something l saw in Kansas. AS l sat
in the hotel in Salina the fire bells
rang. In second three rubber-tired
hacks standing in front of the hotel
started. Before | could ask l saw
three hose carts hitched to the axles
OF the hacks. about one dozen firemen
comfortably seated in the hacks. and
under whip the procession disappeared
at full speed" Not being able to
maintain a team of horses at the fire
station the town resorted to the ex-
pedient of offering a good price for
the first team that shall arrive and
hitch to the hose cart. The hacks.
being on constant duty, often vie with
one another for the prize, and the
general result in point of quick service
is not SO much behind the city system
as some might suppose.-Kansas City
