tasteful teachings, but romance
which university authorities were

the last convocation was promoted to
an instructorship, has been given
two years leave Of absence on full

Behind these apparently simple
facts is a story of the engagement of
Miss Cipriani and Professor Manly.
1t is said that promotion and con-
tinuation of full salary during her
absence were granted on condition
that Miss Cipriani never return, as au-
thorities do not look with favor on
her engagement and expected wedding

MADISON. Wis, April 17.-Profes-
sors C. F. Burgess and Carl Ham
buechin of the College of Engineering
of the University of Wisconsin have
discovered a method of making pure
iron at small cost. Under the new dis
covery, which is the result of three
years of research work, the product
can be made for a fraction of a cent
per pound. The process is similar to
that used in refining copper, an cleo
trio current taking the impure iron
from a plate and depositing it in a
pure state upon another plate.
The pure iron has valuable proper
ties not possessed by ordinary iron or
steel. On account of its electrical
properties it is a valuable material for
constructing electrical apparatus and
it furnishes means for making special
steel alloys of great strength and hard
