Row over Reoat,. Date.

Trouble Is bound 70 arise between
the rowing authorities OF Harvard and
Yale IN determining the date Of the
ANIMAL boat race between the two uni

arose from the fact that the Yale fac

TO the week preceding the old date and
also the week before the Harvard
commencement.
Both institutions are eager TO have
the race az part OF their commence
ment program In order that as many
graduates may be present as possible.

q great variety OF forms iron teaket-
ties which break into song when the
water boils. The song may not DO a
very perfect melody, but It is perhaps
as agreeable as tho notes produced by
some OF the insects which the Japa-
nese also treasure for their music.
The harmonious sounds OF the teaket-
ties are produced by steam bubbles es-
Gaping from beneath the sheets OF iron
fastened close together nearly at the
bottom or the kettles. To produce the
best effects some skill is required In
regulating the fire. The character OF
the sound varies with the form OF the
kettles. These curious singing kettles
have been used by the people for
many centuries.
