BISHOP WHITAKER'S
74th BIRTHDAY

PHILADELPHIA. May 10.-Today
Right Rev. OH William Whitaker,
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese of Pennsylvania, entered upon
his seventy-fifth year and was the
recipient of numerous notes and cards
Of congratulation from his friends,
both in and out Of the church. No
celebration of the anniversary was
held owing to Bishop Whitaker's age
and physical infirmities.
Bishop Whitaker is a native of
Massachusetts and received his edu-
cation at Middleburg college and the
General Theological seminary in New
York. graduating from the latter In
1868. Six years later he was elected
missionary bishop Of Nevada, and
filed that position until 1885, when
he was chosen bishop coadjutor of
Pennsylvania to assist Bishop Stew
ems. When the latter died in 1887
Bishop Whitaker succeeded him. The
active management of the affairs of
the diocese is now largely in the
hands of Bishop A. Mackay-Smi
who was chosen coadjutor bishop to
assist Bishop Whitaker two years
ago.

RADIUM WILL NOT
CURE A CANCER

LONDON, May 1O.-The radium
treatment has now been entirely
abandoned at the cancer hospital. 1t
was never viewed with much hope
there, and few days ago the last
experiments with IL were abandoned.
The authorities Of the cancer hos
pital are now devoting all their
money and time to improving the
high frequency treatment especially
as regards the enormous waste of
electrical power which distinguishes
the present use of the Roentgen rays.
A current of 200 volts Is to be trans
formed into 50-volt current, and
this again reduced without wastage
to 25-volt current, the latter being
the pressure used in the present APP
plication of the rays.
For cases of internal cancer expert
ments are being made with certain
new lamps which can be inserted into
a cooling tube containing water and
then introduced into the body. Both
these and the new electrical machin-
cry will. however, require some
weeks to perfect.

IN MEMORY OF
NOTED WRITER

LONDON, May 10.-Mme. Clara
Butt and a number of other well
known artists contributed their serv-
ices to a concert held at Grosvenor
house today, the proceeds of which
will go toward the rebuilding of the
parish church of Lower Brixham,
Devonshire, which was begun 80
years ago in memory of the author
of the celebrated hymn, abide With
Me" The author was the Rev. Fran
els Lyle, who labored among the
fishermen for % years, refusing all
preferment though he was a gifted
preacher and writer. At the age of
81 he found himself doomed to die
of consumption, and in sorrow Mt
leaving his work unfinished he PRAYED
that it might be granted to him Ito
write something which might live TO
the glory of God when he was dead
The result was the world-famous
hymn. "Abide With Me-" written in
the sunset of the last evening he
ever spent at Brixham and after his
last sermon to his flock. He died at
Nice q month later.

Spokane Press, Spokane, Wash:
Dear Sirs-I have read in the Spo-
kane daily papers that the school board
wants ten months of school, which l
don't like very much, for several rea-
sons.
One is this The children of the city
schools have always had nine months
of school and three months vacation,
but if ten months of school would be
taken up the children would feel as
though they had more time to do their
work and will not work as well as if
nine months.
1t is very hard for child to stay
in school all through the month of
June, and think how nice it would be
to be out camping with your parents
and, too, if we study hard and pass
at the end of the nine months ! think
it is right to have a little rest, and if
we have one more month of school
we will be very apt to get lazy, Tor we
will have a great deal more time to
clear our work and will naturally get
lazy. ! have passed each term | have
gone to school, which is only five years.
| was not started to school until the
age of years, and for my part, | do
not wish to have ten months of school
Yours truly, FLORENCE TOZlER.

Who the miscreant was who placed

probable results had he done so make

lead the police to make a thorough
hunt for the culprit.
The stick of dynamite was set all
ready for lighting. The fuse and cap
was in place and the end of the fuse

The probable consequences had the

Spokane Press:
Gcntemen-Shall the school year be
increased to ten months?
| think ten months of school is not
any too much. 1t may be for some
children who have to go out and work
so as to be able to go to school the
next year The teachers at least think
nine months too short time, because
they would rather get pay for the ex-
ira month, and, besides, they have to
rush through the work. The state
course calls for ten months, but Spo-
kane thinks she can make it in nine
months They do this on account of
being short the funds for the supplies
and teachers. If one more month
would be added the pupil would be
more fit for the next grade. The pupil
in the eighth high grade would be
more fit for high school. Extra work
has to be gotten out of school and il

How a Ball Is "curyed.n

Professor J. j. Thompson. who came
over from Cambridge, Eng, TO deliver the
Benjamin Silliman course of lectures at
Yale this year. said when asked recently
as to what effect the establishment Of
the Rhodes scholarships at Oxford would
have on the cause Of education, that he
feared the benefits to physics would be
more h offset by the American
strengthening Of Oxford's athletic ma
terial. He was asked to give the ex-
PLANTATION Of q curved pitched ball.
THE ball follows Its nose, SO to speak,"
said he. IF it leaves the pitchers hand
revolving downward on a horizontal axis
1t is bound to drop. If it leaves revolving
upward on a horizontal axis it follows Its
nose and rises. When the ball travels on
a vertical axis, revolving outward from
the batsman the outcurve is the result
and similarly on a vertical axis, with an
inward revolution, the reverse is the re-
suit. The outdrop is the result of The
balls travelling on a slanting axis with
an outward revolution and SO on. The
axis and revolutions are determined by
the manner of the spheres leaving the
pitchers hand. and there you are"
