CLASS DAY
AT HARVARD

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 2t.-To-
day was class day at Harvard. From
early morning the seniors were to be
seen in cap and gown gathered in
groups about the quadrangle or hur-
rying hither and thither about the
yard intent on the final preparation
for the successful carrying out of the
program of the day.
The quadrangle never looked more
beautiful as seen through the tenn
porary gateways in the evergreen
barriers between the buildings, in
closed as 1t was by the dull red walls
Of the dormitories and the white
facade of the university, and embow-
cred by the loft green arches of the
elms.
At o'clock the senior class as
sembled and marched to Appleton
chapel, where a short service was
conducted by the chaplain Of the day.
seniors had about an hour and a
half to themselves in which to look
after their relatives and friends.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Sanders the
alter was opened to the holders of
tickets. At II o'clock it was closed
to all but the seniors. On the plat
form were seated the chaplain of
the day, the first marshal and class
day officials who were to take part in
the exercises, while the body of the
seniors occupied the seats on the
floor of the theater.
The exercises began with music
and prayer. Following the usual
class poems and odes came the sing
ing of college songs, interspersed
with reading of personal humorous
histories of the members of the class.
AS each mans name was reached lin
the reading he was hoisted to the
shoulders of his classmates.
The class-day tree exercises were
given this afternoon. The exercises
were preceded, as usual, by the stu
dents marching round the yard and
cheering the college buildings.
This evening the yard will be
illuminated with thousands of col
ored lanterns hung in festoons under
the old elms. The glee club will
sing in front of Holworthy and the
banjo and mandolin clubs will con-
tribute their share to the general en-
tertainment. A reception by Presi-
dent and Mrs. Eliot to members Of
the graduating classes and their
friends will conclude the DAVIS pro-
gram.

SALVATION ARMY CONGRESS

LONDON. June 24.-It seldom falls
to the lot of man to see such a boun-
tiful harvest spring from the seed
he has sown as is afforded in the
case of General William Booth and
the Salvation Army, the worldwide
organization of which he was the
founder and is still the active head.
Today 5000 of his subordinates, as
sembled from every part of the
world, we're given an official and cor
dial welcome in the same city where,
40 years ago, his handful of humble
followers were hooted and derided
and even stoned by the street crowds.
The International Congress of the
Salvation Army, for which prepara-
tions have been making for more than
q year, was formally opened today in
q mammoth hall on the Strand, espe-
cialiy erected for the occasion and
capable of seating nearly twice the
number OF people that any other
available building in the metropolis
will hold. When the venerable found
er of the army called the gathering

in any part Of the world. The hall
was packed with nearly 10000 men
and women, all of them clad in the
familiar blue uniforms of the Saliva

Recommends Munyon's
Paw Paw.

WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON,
d. c.. Nov. 80, 1903.-Both myself
and wife have used Munyon's Paw
Paw. My wife was a great sufferer
with indigestion. heart and kidney
troubles, with acute nervousness, and
I with the natural results of age,
combined with dyspepsia and indi-
gestion. I purchased bottle of Paw
Paw. and less than a dozen doses
have made me feel strong and ener-
getic, and has so regulated my d.
gestion that I eat and sleep perfect
ly. My wife has SO far been greatly
benefited by its use. so that her trou-
bles seem now to be entirely over.
1t is certainly a wonderful remedy.
(Signed) E. s. BECKLEY.
Mr.. Beckley has for 81 years occu-
pied his present position with all the
presidents from President Lincoln
down, and is favorably known to cab
ficials, congressman and citizens. His
candid statement as to the efficacy
of Munyon's Paw Paw will excite a
widespread interest in Paw Paw,
which will lead to other sufferers be-
ing cured.
Druggists say they have never
handled an article that sold so we'll
and gave such universal satisfaction
If you have dyspepsia or any stom-
ach trouble, If you can't sleep, if you
are nervous, If YOU lack strength and
vitality, if you are gloomy and de-
spondent, get bottle of Paw Paw
today and try it. Know the truth

HOW MANY APPLES?

If puzzles are getting scarce in New
York, says the London correspondence
of the New York Times, possibly some
of the expert guessers would like to
try at the following:
Three boys go gathering apples.
They arrive home late at night with q
bagful, and, after agreeing to divide it
equally, go to bed. During the night
one of them wakes up, and, feeling
hungry, goes to the bag, divides the
apples into three equal portions, and
finds there is one over, which he throws
away. He eats his own and goes back
to bed. Later on the second boy also
wakes up, and goes through . similar
procedure, as also does the third after
ward, both of them, like the first, throw.
ing away an odd apple. In the morn.
ing the three boys divide the remainder
of the apples equally, and again find one
over, which they throw away. How
many apples we're there originally!

THE SPIRIT OF WINTER.


The Spirit of Winter is with. Us,
making Its presence known in many
different REPRESENTATIVES, by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening SHOWS, and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. To many people it seems
to take delight in making bad things
worse, for rheum ,tism twists harder,
twinges sharper, catarrh becomes
more annoying, and the many symp-
toms of scrofula are developed and
aggravated. There is not, much poe.
try in this, but there is truth and it
is a wonder that more people don't get
rid of these ailments. The medicine
that cures them-Hood's Sarsaparilla
is easily obtained and there is abun-
dant proof that its cures are radical
and permanent.

"W-w-what?' calculated the. old

"No-o.o," said the gentleman, very
much puzzled. "You are rather a

and I'll buy you some chocolate"
"Alack, am forbid to tarry, gentle

Goodbye, then," said the old gen.

"Rest you, merry MASTER" and,
dropping a little courtesy, the mite

"Su''Vy j.
The fact that a radium salt is al
ways hotter than its surroundings,
discovered by the Curies, implies that
radium is continually losing energy;
and if the radium salt be dissolved in
water some of this energy is expended
in decomposing portion of the water
into oxygen and hydrogen gases. Prof.
Rutherford and 81. T. Barnes have re-
Gently shown that "more than two
thirds of the heating effect is not due
to the radium at all, but to the radio
active emanation which it produces
from ITSELF" In November, 1902,
Messrs. Rutherford and Soddy con-
cluded from their experiments on the
emanatiops from radium and thorium
that they are "inert gasses, analogous
in nature to the members of the argon
family" and also they threw out the
surmise, "whether the presence OF
helium in minerals and its invariable
association with uranium and thorium
may not be connected with the radio.
activity"
Now, had the good fortune to dis
cover helium in 1895; it is one of the
argon gases, and is contained in GER
tain mineruls, and when Mr.. Soddy
came to work with me in the early
summer of 1903 we tested the truth OF
this surmise, and we were rewarded by
success. The fresh emanation from
radium does not show the spectrum OF
helium, but as it decays" helium is
produced in minute but ever-increasing
quantity.
We can help ourselves by an anal
ogy. Very complicated compounds
of carbon and hydrogen can be pro-
duced; one containing 80 atoms Of
carbon and So atoms Of hydrogen is
known. But one Of, say, 200 atoms
Of carbon and 402 Of hydrogen would
almost certainly fall to bits; it would
split up and give out heat. The sup
position appears reasonable that just
as there is limit to the possible num-
Der of atoms in such compounds (for
the molecules or groups of atoms fall
apart by their own weight), so there
may be limit to the atomic weight
of an element.
Those elements with high atomic
weight, such as thorium, uranium, and
radium, are apparently decomposing
into elements with low atomic weight;
in doing so they give of heat, and also
possess the curious property of radio
activity. What these elements are is
unknown, except in one case; one of
the products of the decomposition of
the emanation from radium is helium.
Can the process be reversed? No
one knows. But as gold is an element
of high atomic weight, it may be con-
fidently stated that if it Is changing
it is much more likely that it is being
converted into silver and copper. than
it is being formed from them. At this
stage, however, speculation is futile.
1t is certain that further experim ent
will lead to more positive knowledg
