PRESIDENCY WON
By MISS RILEY
Defeats Miss Stratton in
Women Students Election
by a Very Narrow Margin

BERKELEY, April 16.-After one of the
most spirited elections ever held at the
University of California, Miss Carmel
Riley, Of the class of '07 was today elect
ed president Of the Associated Women
Students of the university, defeating Miss
Cornelia Stratton of the same class by
only three votes. Miss Riley received
162 votes and Miss Stratton 159.
There is a possibility, however, that
Miss Riley may yet lose her hard-won
honors, as a protest has been made
against the legality of IL OF the votes
cast on the ground that the dues of the
voters as members of the Associated Wo-
men Students have not been paid up, and
that they are not entitled to vote.
Should this protest be allowed Miss
Stratton would be elected.

CLOCK ALL OF GLASS.
Bohemian Workman Produces Work.
ina Model After Six Years Of Labor.

A somewhat futile feat of painstak.
ing ingenuity has been accomplished
after six years of continuous work in
the construction of working clock,
every part of which except the springs
ie made of glass. The constructor is
a Bohemian glass polisher named
Joseph Bayer, who lives in Theresien-
thai and who is now II years old.
The plates and pillars which form
the framework are of glass and are
bolted together with glass screws. The
dial plate, hands, shafts and cog.
wheels are of glass, and glass wedges
and pins are used for fastening the va
lious parts Of the running gear to.
gether. .
All these parts are ground to the
average proportions of the metal parts
of other clocks of the same SIZE The
teeth of the cogwheels are cut with
minute exactness. Only the balance
wheel is heavier and thicker than it
would be in an ordinary clock, but it
is fashioned SO as to properly con.
troll the movement of the machine.
Like the clock itself, the key with
which it is wound is of glass; The
completion of the work was a mat.
ter of infinite pains. Some of the
parts had to be made over and over
again as often as 40 times before
clock that would 60 and keep time
was produced. The builder sets
price on the finished model of $500
marks, or about 1925. Labor Is cheap

Similar callousness was evinced by
Scottish judges even as late as the

GAS MANTLEs ONLY ASHES.
Invention Due to the Experiments Of
Vienna Chemist.

The gas mantle is nothing but ashes
and it is wonderful how science makes
it's particles cling together as long as
they do.
The gas mantle was invented by a
chemist of Vienna. He noticed the
intense light given out by small
quantity of thorium thrown into a
stove in his laboratory. He realized
the importance of the discovery and
in 1880 began series of experiments
to utilize this remarkable quality of
the element in intensifying light He
found that pure thorium would not
cohere we'll enough to be of use, and
he then began searching for a COM
bination of elements that would an.
swer.
In 1887 he produced his first man.
ties, but they were so delicate that
they could not be transported, and
were delivered by hand. A boy was
trusted to carry two, one in each
hand, for delivery about the streets of
Vienna. In the early COS he found
that a good mantle could be made
from combination of the two sub
stances, thorium oxide and cerium OK.

would give sufficient firmness to al

gas mantles have gone into general
use in nearly all parts of the world,
and thousands of factories are pro.

Battles in the Blood.

An interesting record of what may
be called the battles that occur in
the blood of fever patient between
noxious and benign heterogeneous
was presented at recent meeting of
the Royal Microscopical society.
The patient in this case was suf-
fering from malarial fever. The OBJ
servations were made at intervals of
a few minutes during period of five
hours. The defenders of the patients
life were kind of leucocytes, which
destroyed the malarial parasites.
A leucocyte would engulf a para
site, which would then be seen under
going a process of disintegration in
side the leucocyte, and only the pig
ment granules were left. Afterward
other leucocytes would approach and
absorb even these granules.-Ex-
