Work an Innovation.

The sophomore class in the depart

materials to learn the difference be-
tween linen, cotton, silk and wooden
goods. The tests are made with chem
icals. some of which are very simple
Cotton and linen are soaked in gly-

ide. 1t turns brown and dissolves
Wool also turns brown if boiled in
caustic soda containing lead oxide
The flame test one which is popu-
lar among most women, is also given
trial. Linen and cotton tibers are
of vegetable structure and ignite
quickly. Silk and wooden libers are
of animal structure and burn slowly,
giving off an offensive odor.
The University of Missouri was the
first to take the experimental step"
said Miss Edna D. Day. head of the
home economics department, yester
day Other universities teach the
physical structure of goods, but do not
have tie students make the tests. We
had more applicants for the depart
ment than we could accommodate, be-
cause the laboratory sections are all
filled. There are not enough teachers
to open new ones"

Clothes a Tonic.

Clothing, particularly new clothing
is a powerful mental and moral tonic
according to a medical specialist quot.
ed in the Outtitter, of London. The
specialist says that shabby or ill-fttine
clothes are source of constant worry
which tends to take the keener edge
off the wits of the average man. THE
mere fact of being smartly dressed
adds the doctor, lis a strong mental
stimulant, and the man who is shabby
and knows it, is often less capable thar

ENTERS HARVARD AT II YEARS.
Youngest Student Ever Admitted Is
Prodigy in Mathematics.


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. ia boy
named Sidis, II years old. has been
admitted to Harvard University as a
special student. Sidis comes to Har-
ward after spending one year at Tufts
and was therefore admitted without
the usual entrance examinations.
For several years Sidis has been
known not only in Boston, his native
city, but also throughout all New
England, as prodigy in mathematics
and it is in this department that he
will study at Harvard. Not in the
history of the institution has boy of
such years been allowed to register
as a member of the university, al
though few cases are on record of
students coming to Cambridge still
wearing their boyhood kits. Sidis
will take his degree with the class OF

TEN MILES HIGH TO SEE MARS
An Amherst Astronomer to Make OBJ
servations From Balloon.

servations From Balloon.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. 10
Prof. David T. Todd, of Amherst Col
lege, a widely known astronomical
authority. said yesterday that his long
planned ascent to an altitude of ten
miles to make observations of the
planet Mars viii be attempted some
time this month and that the ascen-
sion probably will be from Springfield
or Fitchburg Leo Stevens will be
the pilot.
Our arrangements have not been
completed" said Professor Todd.
The weather is getting bad for our
purpose, and we are not certain just
what we will do. If the weather con-
ditions are not good we may pos
sibly defer the ascension till next
spring. Postponement, however, will
be last resort" Professor Todd and
Mr.. Stevens plan to live in the raritied
atmosphere by means of oxygen, which
they will carry in a tank. While it
is possible that conditions concerning
which 70 knowledge is now possessed
may prevent attaining the dizzy height
planned, Mr.. Stevens is confident that
he will pilot his balloon to the highest
altitude in which man has ever
breathed An expense of $1,000 will
be entailed in equipping the balloon
for its unusual mission.
