OLD TIME, HARVARD LAWS.
When Students Had to Get the Presi-
dents Permission to Smoke.

When Students Had to Get the Pres-
dents Permission to Smoke.
Imagine a twentieth century Har-
ward undergraduate asking the presi-
dent of the university for permission
to smoke or buy a drink. Yet permis-
sion was necessary in the eighteenth
century. according to the history of
Harvard before 1850. One college rule
read:
mo scholar shall take tobacco unless
permitted by ye president with ye con.
sent of his parents or guardian and on
good reason first given by a physician
and then in a sober and private man
ner."
Further, mo scholar shall unneces-
sarily frequent any tavern or victual-
ing house in Cambridge to eat or drink
there without leave from ye president
or one of ye tutors"
Another regulation read: I-
"If any scholar be guilty Of drunken
ness he shall be fined 8 shillings and
make a public confesson. No under
graduate shall keep by him distilled
spirituous liquors, nor shall he use any
such drinks as punch or flip"
Saturday evenings all students were
required to retire to their chambers at
sunset and not unnecessarily leave
them.-New York World,

There are very few people who
know the proper designation of the
man who presides over the supteme
court" said the secretary of the sen
ate. T--
Generally he is referred to as the
chief justice OF the United States su.
preme court. In fact. he is the chief
justice That's his official title. Most
of our presidents In nominating men
for this Office have fallen into the er.
ror of giving him the long title When
George Washington nominated Oliver
Ellsworth OF Connecticut for this post
he described 1t as chief justice Of the
supreme court of the United States
Andrew jackson made the same error
In nominating Roger B. Taney. So
did Abraham Lincoln when he appoint.
ed Salmon p. Chase. Grover Cleve-
land was the first president to give the
correct designation. When he appoint
ed Melville w. Fuller he nominated
him to be chief justice and nothing
else. e."-Washington Star.

Size Of an Atom.

"Radium emanations." said Profes.
sor William Crookes in lecture In Lon.
don. 'are due to the breaking down OF
the atom OF radium. and electricians
are constantly flying or with about
two-thirds the speed Of light C82. 900
miles per secondI. These electrons are
now looked upon as being absolute
units Of negative electricity To try
to illustrate their size Is difficult. I'm
agine one drop of water magnifed to
the size of the earth 5000 miles in di
ameterl. An atom would then be about
the size of walnut or a cricket ball
Now magnify the cricket ball or atom
to n cube of about 100 feet each side
The eleetron would be about the size
OF this dot Ozone one-hundredth of an
inch In diameter The mind cannot
conceive such figures"

]. Cooper Props. formerly real es-
tate agent in Eaton. Ind. few years
ago had practically concluded a sale of
a residence ia that town to a farmer
who desired to retire. when the Gus
toner suddenly discovered that there
was no cellar beneath the dwelling.
The house suited him perfectly. and
his wife also was highly pleased with
it, but both of them demanded a cellar
before taking it. even though they pre-
vtously had gone as far as to tell Mr..
Props to draw up the deed
We'll. I'll tell you what I'll do" said
Props "0f course there's no cellar un-
der there now, but I'll fix 1t in the
deed-write it all out and everything,
so there can't be any mistake-sO that
you have the privilege of excavating
for the cellar at any time you please
and without interference from any
source"
Mr.. and Mrs. Farmer said they
guessed that would be all right. so
after their right to construct their own
cellar had been carefully safeguarded
in the deed by elaborate phrases they
paid over their money and took posses
sion But to this day, Props says. they

way every time they meet HMM

MAY CAUSE STRIKE.
Demands of 10000 Employed in New
York Clothing Trade Industry.

New York, Dec. 30.-The situation in
the clothing trades industry is serious
and 10000 employees in this city may go
on strike, according to statements made
after adjournment yesterday of hearings
which have been in progress before Louis
d. Brandeis OF Boston, Hamilton Holt
and William O. Thompson, appointed as
an arbitration board under a protocol
arranged after the strike four years ago.
The board will meet next week to CON
slider further the demands of the un.
ions.
These demands are that in the dull
seasons the manufacturers divide the
work pro rata among the employees in
stead of laying off surplus help and that
no employee of more than two weeks
standing be discharged without the APP
proval of the union. The manufacturers
told the arbitration board that TO grant
these demands would deprive the EN-
ployers Of control of their shops, increase
expenses and tend to establish coudi-
tions which would make the successful
of business impossible.
