An Unfortunate Remark.

One pleasant day last fall, so the
story goes, Prof. Hadley, of Yale,
was strolling through the beautiful
campus of Dartmouth college with his
wife on his arm. They were admiring
the beautiful buildings which dot the
campus, several of them having been
erected by wealthy alumni. Present.
ly they came to an especially noble
hall, built of stone, and occupying a
commanding site. Over the main en-
trance was a marble tablet which an
nounced that the hall had been erected
by John c. Blank as memorial to his
Beloved Wife"
President Hadley stood and looked
at the noble pile for moment Then
he heaved sigh that was almost en-
vious.
'Ah," he said, that is what should
like to do for my college"
And to this day, the boys declare.
President Hadley cannot understand
why his wife should have looked so
horri6ed.-St. Louis Mirror.

INK THAT WON'T FREEZE.


When self-recording barometers
and thermometers are taken to the
arctic or antarctic regions, or are sent
up to great elevations in balloon. it
is important that the ink with which
those instruments are equipped shall
not freeze. The lowest temperatures
lever recorded on the surface of the
earth, observed in Siberia, have been
in the vicinity Of 81 degrees below zero,
Fahrenheit. Some time or other that
record will probably be beaten in the
vicinity of the south pole. which is be-
1ieyed to be surrounded by land. No
such severe cold has been found on
arctic seas, even in the highest latitude
reached. BY unnamed balloons sent
up last winter in Europe a tempera-
ture of 81 below zero was recorded,
says the New York Tribune.
With this preface one can partially
understand q communication recently
published in the Monthly Weather Re
view and the National Geographic Nag
azine. both of Washington. r. C. Moss
man, meteorologixt of the Scottish
antarctic expedition. now exploring the
region southeastward OF Cape Horn,
