spent several years in study and re-
many, where in 1885 the degree of doc
tor Of philosophy was conferred upon
him.
After his return to Michigan he stud
led law and was admitted to the bar,
but never followed the profession, for,
being called to professorship by Mt.
Morris college, at Mt. Morris, ILL.,, he
accepted, and for year or two taught
Greek, Latin and German.
An element of romance enters into
Prof. jerks life at Mt. Morris. for it
was there that he met and married Miss
Georgia Bixler.
Prof. jerks is hard worker In
addition to his lectures and class room
work in connection with his professor
ship at Cornell, he has served with dis
tinction and ability as expert agent of
the United States on the industrial COM
mission appointed to Investigate trusts
and industrial combinations in the
United States and Europe, and he has
been the consulting expert of the United
States in the same capacity for the de-
partment of labor. In 1902 he was on
special commission appointed by the
war department to investigate the ques-
ton Of currency, labor, internal taxa
ton and police in the orient.
The prospective new head of North
western is also an author. His best
known book is The Trust Problem, -
issued in 1901 and revised in 1909 He
has compiled and edited various govern
ment works on economic and industrial
subjects, and is also frequent contribu-
tor to periodical literature on economic
and political questions.
The nearly Is years which Prof
jerks has been one of the faculty of Cor
nell university has created strong ties
which it will be hard for him to break,
if he should decide to accept the call Of
Northwestern university to become it's
president.

Mistakes in Stamps.

BY simple error in the printing of E
set of stamps the value is enormously
increased to collectors. A short time
ago Dutch stamp was printed yellow
instead of blue. A week later these
stamps were sold at a great premium.
A New Zealand stamp some years ago
was printed upside down, and It is now

stamps the old red penny, with the plate
No. 255, is valued by collectors, and the

Microscopic Detective.

Ehrenberg, prince of microscopists
some years ago was employed by the
Prussian government to Investigate a
case of smuggling. A cask had been
opened, valuables extracted, and the
case repacked and shipped onward to its
destination. The only clew to the GRIM
inals was that the unpacking must have
been done at some of the customs houses
through which the goods had passed. To
all appearances the microscope had a
hopeless task. Ehrenberg took some of

ing, placed it under the microscope.

Ithaca, N. Y.-Since the Northwestern

president to the University of Illinois,
at Champaign, where something over
a year ago Prof Edmund ]. James as
sumed the duties of president, it has
been looking around for the right man

Jeremiah Whipple jerks, professor OF
political economy and politics in the
Cornell university at Ithaca, N. Y. Prof.
jerks has admitted that he has received
some sort of a proposition from North

whether he will accept or not. He has
held the present professorship since
1891, coming to Cornell from the In

chair of economy and social science.
Before his two years of work in this
latter educational institution he spent
three years with Knox college, where
he was head professor Of political sci

The eastern cities are enjoying this in

Philadelphia was the city farthest west

strated their utility, and more will be
installed. They will be distributed in
portions of the city where public indoor
telephones are scarce and hard to get
at. especially at night
The method of operation of these out
door phones is as follows: The patron
lifts lever, opening the door CT the in
closing box, and is then enabled to use
the phone by dropping a nickel, just
as in any other public phone.

"A Beloved Mother" Who Is One Of
the Leaders in Helping the Dis

New York City.-That the women OF
Japan are made of the same stuff as the
men, though obliged to take lesser part
in the present conflict with Russia, is
abundantly evident from an article con-
tributed by the wife of Admiral Urlu
to Harper's Bazaar.
"The rich and the poor, the high and
the low, have but one object says Nine.
Uriu, Ito encourage those who are at the
front, to help the distressed families
whose supporters have been chosen to
eight for their country, and, lastly, to

One of the leaders in this work is

Joke Okumura, the organizer of the
Ladies' Patriotic association. Nine.
Okumura, although not young woman,

burning patriotism and love for human

On her return she went on foot from one
end Of the kingdom to the other, urging
the necessity Of a patriotic association
upon the leading women. The society
was organized in time of profound peace,
had $4,000 members. This increased to
more than 100000 within a month after
the declaration of war.
Princess Iwakura is the president of
this society and the empress and other
members of the imperial family are
patronesses. Warehouses Oyama, a
graduate of Vassar, is one of the most
active workers and is now collecting
money to send presents to the men at the
front. Even the schoolgirls have Il
share in the work and are so anxious to
help that they may be seen knitting
socks and slippers on the street cars on
their way to school.
Since the outbreak of the war a new
relief society has been formed for the
assistance of families whose male rela-
tives have gone to the front Princess

1t was rather an unusual proposition
the architects sought to solve. It re-
solved itself Into a. question of sky
scraper construction, and the building
contains two chapels, a score of Sunday
school rooms, which can be thrown into
one by means Of folding partitions, mems
clubrooms, women's parlors and an ad-
ministratiOn room. In all a total OF
5000 persons can be accommodated at
one time.
One of the interesting things in the
new church will be museum where
any ecclesiastical relics may be placed
Just at present the exhibits consist of a.
flag and staff preserved from the old
Worth street edifice, erected in 1910:
the spade which broke ground for the
new building and bound volumes of
published works penned by tabernacle
members. The contents of the corner
stone OF the old church at Sixth avenue
and Thirty-fourth street, abandoned a
few years ago for the present site, will
also be added to the collection.
Few churches feel the necessity of a
safe deposit vault. Nevertheless, the
Broadway Tabernacle believes in being
forehanded, and a safe deposit vault, siz-
able enough for special conference of
all the church deacons at one time, is
built in back of the choir loft.
Not even the electric elevators, the
sky-scraping proclivities of the build
ing or the up-to-date safety vault en-
phasizes the catholicity Of church tend
encies to-day so much as the fully ap-
pointed little theater in the basement.
Mr.. Jefferson calls it an assembly hall,
the architect theater And such it
really is-a stage with foot-lights and
lights around the proscenium arch, stage
entrances, dressing-rooms, an elevated
floor in the amphitheater which slopes
down to the orchestra pit in true stage
fashion, boxes either side the stage and
with a seating capacity of 600.
1t is bound to be popular, because it's
free. ''That u.s." Mr. Jefferson inter-
poses, for any good cause"
The pastor has long felt the necessity
for place where new movements could
be started or old ones bolstered up, "al-
ways providing the object is good" he
reiterates.

There have been innumerable plans
for preventing seasickness. but perhaps
the most remarkable of any is device
by which a German navy engineer would
obviate the malady by overcoming the
motion which brings it about. He is Mr..

is designed to increase considerably the
period of " collation. in the rolling of a
vessel and at the same time diminish the

THEATER
4ovEL FEATURE oFNEW BROAD
WAY TABERNACLE. !:
Ten-story Structure Erected at New
York Which Has, in Addition to
Theater, Wedding Chapel
and Museum.

New York City.-Not only wedding
chapel" but even museum and thea
ter are features which members of the
new ten-story Broadway tabernacle, at
Broadway and Fifty-sixth street, will
enjoy after it's formal dedication tho
third Sunday in February. A host OF
weddings will mark dedication week,
and a score or more brides-elect are
planning to take the VOWS before the al
tar in the chapel, which is to be devoted
entirely to the Office Of holy matrimony,
as Taylor chapel will be reserved for
the celebration of weekday ceremonies.
To be sure, there is no canon of the
church nor any objection of the pastor,
Rev. Charles E. Jefferson, to the main
auditorium being utilized for the pur-
pose. But the 1000 seating capacity OF
the latter renders it big and barnlike for
home wedding, while the chapel, with
its accommodate for only so, is more
adapted for the average wedding.
Occupying a rectangular plot OF
ground at the extreme northern portion
of the Broadway side of the edifice, it
will be furnished with tiny altar and
black oak pews, while three stained
glass windows give ample illumination
during the day, with electricity by
night. The wedding chapel is at the
extreme left of the picture.
Erected at total cost of $1,000, 600,
including the lot, it is probably the
only church in the country built upon
such an altitudinous scale, the parish
