SCIENCE SETS HARD TASK.
Student Keeps Constant Vigil for Two
Months.

Baltimore. Md.-over two months
of constant vigil. with his only rest
being taken in halfhour maps. is the
task to which William W. Strong
has set himself in the interest OF
science.
Strong. who Is a graduate student
In physics at Johns Hopkins univer.
sity, is engaged in the study of the
ionization OF air, a study that prom.
ises to throw much light on existing
problems Of physical chemistry as well
as those Of pure physics.
He is working with large and in.
tricate apparatus. and is obliged to
take readings every 30 minutes. For
some two months or more Mr. Strong
has been sitting by the apparatus,
leaving only long enough to eat.
Even at night the apparatus must be
read and watched. and accordingly
Strong has been taking cat mans he
side the apparatus. accompanied by
an energetic alarm clock that tells
the unwelcome half hours.
The long vigils are now nearing
their end, however, and the watcher
by night will be amply repaid by val
liable results that have been obtained
The results of the work, It is said

about the solution of present problems
Of ionization.

Woman's place on the newspapers
to-day is due to the law of demand
and supply. She has not crowded
man out. It is distinctively a posi-
ton into which she has neither forced
her way nor sought in ever so limited
degree to GUST man from that do
main in which since the invention of
the art of printing he had held exclu-
sive right.
With the evolution of successive
stages of progress the necessity OF
Woman's work on the press became so
apparent that the cry went forth
throughout the land And it was be-
cause of that cry that this great field
Of woman's cleverness and industry
was opened up.
With trembling feet the pioneer
woman writer's crossed the thresh old
of the newspaper Offices. It is with
assured tread she makes her way
to-day. In the comparatively short
space of time in which woman has
been an acknowledged factor on the
staff of the daily press she has ac-
complished much. Before her there
yet stretches vast worlds to con-
quer. But that she will conquer, that
in the future she will achieve success
in this occupation is long since a
foregone conclusion.
Not the least powerful factor wom-
an brings to her work as newspa-
per writer is that birthright, intuition.
When added to this her keenly Obsery-
ant powers become trained along the
necessary lines and her natural ten
acity of purpose has the strong slim
illus of competition with men, it will
be realized that success is and must
continue to be her portion.
AS in all else of the country's
work, there is a great deal of human
nature in the newspaper world, and
when woman enters into such active
shoulder-to-shoulder rivalry with men,
as has now of necessity developed in
all the active press matters of the
day, she must understand from the
start that she can expect no quar-
ter To be upon the staff of an up
IC-udIS ud11y uISduS du amount OF
work more exhausting mentally and
physically than in any other wage
earning occupation can fall to the lot
of Q human being. To be upon the
staff Of a powerful newspaper means
to live at concert pitch day after day,
month after month.
1t is only by the strictest observ-
ance Of the hygienic laws relating
more particularly to the regular eat
ing Of simple, easily digested, nourish.
ing food that any one, man or WON
an, can expect to stand the strain.
Newspaper work at all times wears
upon the nerves, and yet, strange to
say, it is women who bear it best.
Seldom, indeed, do they go under
from the effects of this work, while
the number of physical wrecks among
the men is wholly out of proportion.
This, be it understood, where the
work and hours are Identical.
1t sounds at first paradoxical to say
that the life of a newspaper writer
is one of incessant repression and
continued development. The tre-
meRdous rush of competition, the be-
ing in active touch with. the great

SHERIDAN VERY MUCH ALIVE.
Good Joke Brought OFF in the Days
of the Regency.

The First Gentleman in Europe die
tated to Sheridan letter making fun
of the grotesque appearance of a
crony of the Princes, Maj. Hanger,
at ball given in celebration of the
Queens birthday. The Major, on
receipt of a letter, fastened to show
it to the Prince, who insisted that
only a duel a outrance could wipe
out the insult On examining the
handwriting the Prince said he had
no doubt at all it was Sheridan's, and
the author of "The School for Scan
dial" vas accordingly Challenged. The
duel was of such vindictive deadli-
ness that it was not till three shots
on either side had been interchanged.
and till Sheridan fell, that the honor
of the Major was satisfied. KILLED,
by CT" exclaimed Capt. Morris, in
a voice of horror, and he and his
principal, the Major, fed the field.
Unspeakable was the relief of the
remorseful Major when Sheridan
turned up that night at the Princes
