TWO GOOD LECTURES.

The two lectures on Chemistry given
in the assembly room of the south side
high school on Friday evening and Sat
urday evening. last week, by Prof. r.
V. Richards were very instructive, in
teresting and entertaining. Some thirty
or forty experiments were performed by
the lecturer to illustrate the principles
he discussed, at each of the two enter
tainments mentioned. Most of the ex-
periments, while not new, We're such as
are ordinarily seen only in chemical
laboratories of universities and colleges
Every experiment attempted was per
formed with great precision and entire
success; and few of the experiments
were such as had never been seen here
before. The beauty and truly instruc
tive character of the experiments were,
of course, only fully appreciated by those
in the audience who were equipped with
a good general knowledge of the rudi
ments of chemistry and its allied
sciences but the popular manner in
which the lecturer treated his subject,
10y tongue and by experiment, was we'll
calculated to prove instructive to all in
attendance. On Friday evening Mr..
Roberts subject was "Oxygen' Satur-
day evening his topic was Hydrogen.
There was fair attendance at each of
the lectures, which were given under
the auspices of the Forum, the literary
society of the south side high school

Indifferent to HerOism.

When pressed for details of the affair
the youngster told of what had hap
pened. but IN the most indifferent way.
and it was only this morning that his
sweet-faced old mother heard the con-
Guiding details of the rescue.
Young Virnstein is such a slip Of a
boy that It seems almost impossible that
he should accomplish such deeds Of
herolsm. Twice within a year he has
snatched two people from the very jaws
of death. but he manifestly thinks he
has not done anything so very great
or that his name should be enrolled
with the heroes Of the nations Capital.
Not alone is he one OF the greatest in
this brave group, but he is the youngest,
the smallest. and one cannot but believe
that he is the most modest. He is the
second son of the family to distinguish
himself in this way and today his
fond mothers eyes are brimming With
tears of pride for her brave little son.
