AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can Do 1.-THE Result 10
Almost Like Magic-UsefuI, Too.

Anything in the nature Of a chem
zeal experiment is always interesting
and usually educative Here is a sim
pie experiment which any child can
perform and which is instructive in
very practical way: Get bit of White
Lead about the size of a pea, a piece
Of charcoal a common candle in a
candestick, and a blowpipe. Scoop
out a little hollow in the charcoal to
hold the White Lead, then light the
candle. take the charcoal and lead in
one hand and the blow-pipe in the
other, with the large end of the blow
pipe between the lips; blow the fame
of the candle steadily against the bit
of White Lead on the charcoal and If
the White Lead is pure it will pres.
emily resolve itself into little shining
globules of metallic lead under the
Intense heat of the blow-pipe, leaving
40 residue.
If. however. the White Lead is adul-
terated in the slightest degree, 1t will
not wholly change into lead. So, It
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration, but also of practical
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient of paint
II should be bought pure and unadul-
tlrated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That is the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any
one to know whether the paint is the
| kind which will wear or not.
The National Lead Company guar
anteo that white lead taken from a
package bearing their Dutch Boy
Painter trademark will prove abso-
lutely pure under the blow-pipe test;
and to encourage people to make the
| test and prove the purity Of paint be-
fore using 1t, they will send free a
| blowpipe and a valuable booklet on
paint to anyone writing them asking
for Test Equipment. Address Ma

HARVARD'S ATHLETIC
RECEIPTS DECREASE
Treasury Is Shy $4,000 In 1906 as
Compared to 1905, According
to Annual Report.

The annual report of the treasurer
Of the Harvard University Athletic as
ISOLATION for the year 1867 shows a
considerable decrease, both in gross
receipts and expenditures, over the
showing of the previous year. AS in
the past, the financial Importance of
football was again demonstrated.
The gross receipts for the year were
$110,110.56, as against 1927, 559.40 for
the preceding year. The expenditures
were $9S,47009, as against SIS, 7332S
for 1866. The decrease, both in re-
ceipts and expenditures, may be ac-
counted for by taking into considera-
ton and comparing the two football
seasons. In 1906 the Yale game was
played in New Haven, meaning 5000
less than when the game was played
in Cambridge in 1905. The whole sea
son of 1906 showed loss of $4,000 in
the receipts, as compared with the sea
son before. This is roughly the
amount of the total decrease in the
gross receipts Of the year 1867 from
that of the previous year. AS the
Harvard graduate manager says in his
report, the surplus of the year de
ponds on the surplus of the football re-
ceipts over the football expendi.
lures"
There is practically no change in
the receipts and expenditures of the
other sports. The baseball team gained
little, owing to its expenditures re.
naming the same while it's receipts
increased. The crew and track teams
We're, as usual, not self-supporting and
had to rely for financial assistance on
the association funds. or the minor
teams, only the hockey and tennis
teams paid their own way. The hockey
team has always stood well financially,
while the fee charged for the use OF
the college tennis court accounts for
the showing OF that branch of snort.
The freshman football team and crew
lost money, while the other freshmen
teams paid their expenses by subscrip.
tons. The total loss in the freshman
branches of sports was s1,53S.O9.
In concluding his report the gradu-
ate treasurer calls attention to the
great need Of retaining the swamp
land on Soldiers field to meet the in.
creased demands for room. and the ne.
cessity of building freproof baseball
bleachers.
