Who Proposes :? Who Opposes :?

Miss Catharine Ccggin of Chicago and the Knights of Columbus" with all the spirit of the distant ancestor from whom she derives her patrony- mic. asserts in a speech, spread yes terday widely as the wires permitted, that the convention which prevents woman from selecting the man of her choice and making that selection known should be done away with"
 Many women believe this. Some wo- men have made the proposal from the beginning of time. Some women all ways will. Most women, in their heart of hearts, are perfectly well aware that it takes two to make 2 proposal and act on the knowledge and are rorc the less maidens all fer the act.
 But Miss Coggin, whose name shows she can still practice her new principle on the first Chicago man she meets, ought to be aware before she attacks weak man for failing to propose that the modern athletic woman has made 9. proposal increasingly difficult. She has robbed life of romance. She dresses as nearly like a man as she can. She resents aid, escort or protec- tion. She shows a frank surprise when a middle aged man, whose manners were learned in another generation, from women who commanded defer ence, treats her with special respect and q masculine consideration.
 Such a woman makes pursuit Of athletics. She talks about anything and everything. She rushes in on sub jects where men fear to tread. unless they are alcne in the smoking room, and some men, like General Grant, re- fuse even there. No book is closed to her. No topic is for her no thorough fare. At IS or 19 she tells her mother she knows all there is to know She calmly sits through plays and looks at rictures d mere man Institutes st fac ing She objects to compliments, ador- ation CT the conventional feminine due. Sucking. as all the poets of tender passion. seems to her q "softic." She wants men to treat her as comrade and the camaraderie. . somewhat rude, boisterous, buOyant camaraderie Of the field, of sports and of q rompinS dance are her personal ideal of social com rGniCnship.
 This is all very well She has her re- ward. She gratifies for the hour, the day. the week, the month the passion of having q good time" and having her own way. which are the twin gods whom this particular brand Of Ameri- can girl worships. But the attitude oi the good comrade and the atmosphere Of the proposal do not go together. A 1 girl cannot eat her cake and have it too. The frank, open. athletic, bcister- 2us life is not one that piques men tC desire and stirs them with longing fol the occult, withheld untrod. From the 1 Beginning of time and until time is nc more men are not seeking in womer what is most like themselves, but what is least like their own nature and life
 The woman who frankly regrets that she is Il woman will find men willing tc i believe that nature made d mistake ir
 her case.

Work on the Dam.

Work preliminary to building the
new dam is being pushed with Wig
or. A cofferdam is being construct
ed across the stream in order to
throw the water into new channel
which is the old channel against
the hills on the west side. In the
flood of 1894 the river made a new
channel toward the east banks.
Where the water left the old chan
mel large amount of material had
been lodged. This had to be
scraped awayto give an opportunity
for the water to flow down the old
channel. AT the same time to turn
the river into this channel good
deal of work had to be done. The
amount of water in the river here
is twice the amount in the Kinnic-
kinnic above the millpond as it has
taken in the waters of the South
Fork and the big springs by the
starch factory. To block the water
a lot of rock is first put in, extend
ing across and as high as the water
is deep. Then logs = cut in the
park-are placed on the upstream
side Of these. Upon this, with butts
down stream tops up stream -
brush, tied in punches, is laid as
thick as is needed, the upstream
ends weighted with rock, the whole
covered with dirt. There is lot of
willow brush and cottonwood limbs
along the banks handy. This is
just what is needed in making the
coferdam. The cutting of this also
contributes to the better appearance
of the flats, which will be more
noticeable when they are covered
with water.

a possibility that this phenomenon

a possibility that this phenomenon
at the Normal may be explained by
assuming that these glasses act as
a series of prisms, producing a rap
i'd vibration of the light ray.
1t is we'll known fact thet no
two panes of glass are of the same
thickness and texture. These win
dows stand against the wall inclin-
ed from the perpendicular, and in
the curious effect noticed by Mr..
Thayer we may find an explanation
in the fact that the light rays, trav-
ersing great many panes of glass
and again reflected back from the
wall behind the windows are so rap
idly diverted from and toward a
perpendicular that we have the
same penetrating power that we
lind in the ray when produced by
electrical development. A ray of
light is penetrating in proportion
to it's activity. A prism diverts a
ray of light from its course. These
panes of glass of varying thickness
and inclined from the perpendicu-
lar act as q combination of prisms
separating and concentrating a
great many light rays into one gem
eral focus.
These observations are made
more as queries than with the au-
thority of assurance. This view is
tentative and subject to modi6ca-
ton with more light"

x Ray?

a curious phenomenon was shown
at the Normal school last week by
Frank Thayer. Leaning against
the wall in one of the rooms are
twenty-five or thirty storm win
dows, one against the other. When
Mr.. Thayer stood in front of these
windows one standing behind him
could see his trousers, which made
an indistinct shadow, densest at the
outside edges; the flesh of his legs
made another shadow little more
dense than the clothing, and with
the outlines more distinct, but the
bones made very dark shadow.
The three substances, clothing flesh
and bone, formed a perfect shadow
picture, each distinct from the
others. Still more remarkable and
inexplicable was the same outline
of clothing, flesh and bone and
equally distinct as before, when Mr..
Thayer wrapped a rubber coat
around his legs. Then, to make
the phenomenon still more wonder
full and while having the rubber
coat wrapped tightly around his
legs in several thicknesses, he held
in front of him an inch board. The
shadow picture was just as distinct
through these, as it was also when
he held two thicknesses of inch
boards before his legs, and also
when he held one of these boards
in front and one behind him. The
rays passed through all of these
substances and showed the varying
shades of clothing, flesh and bone,
even to the knee cap as distinct and
separated from the bones of the leg.
What is the cause of this7 1t Is a
phenomenon similar to that pro-
duced by the \ ray instrument.
The peculiar quality Of the ray
is not very we'll understood. Prof.
Roentgen, the discoverer, gave it
this qualifying designation because
he was in doubt as to it's nature,
*" being an algebraic symbol de-
noting an unknown quantity"
The special power of penetration of
this ray is one of its MOST remarka-
able features, a power apparently
due to the rapidity which certain
rays In the spectrum develop. Mr..
Thayer's ray may be dependent up
on this principle. It is popularity
assumed that the ray is developed
only by electricity, but it seem to
be fact that this ultra ray is pro-
duced also by a series of prisms
and with the same effect, There is

An American Waterloo.

Wellington at Waterloo and Meade
at Gettysburg each held the high
lands against his antagonist. Wei
lington on Mont Saint Jean and
Meade on Cemetery Ridge had the
birdseye view of the forces of at
tack. The English batteries on the
plateau and the Union batteries on
Cemetery Heights commanded alike
the intervening fluctuations across
which the charging columns must
advance. Behind Mont Saint Jean,
to conceal Wellington movements
from Napoleon's eyes, were the
woodlands of Soignes. Behind
Cemetery Ridge, to conceal Meade's
movements from the field glasses of
Lee, was a sharp declivity, a pro-
tecting and helpful depression. AS
the French under Napoleon at Wa
terloo, so the Confederates under
Lee at Gettysburg held the weaker
position. In both cases the assail-
ants sought to expel their opponents
from the stronger lines. l might
add another resemblance in the re-
suits which followed. Waterloo
decreed the destiny of France, of
England, of Europe. Gettysburg,
not SO directly or Immediately, but
practically, decided the fate of the
Confederacy. General John B. Cor
