AMAZING POWER
OF MICROSCOPE
Interesting Lecture By Prof
M. Van G.. Smith

The following interesting talk
was given in chapel on Tuesday
morning by Prof. NJ. Van G..
Smith:
1t has taxed me a good deal to
think of subject which might be
sufficiently religious and interest
ing to be appropriate for Chapel
talk As it is, l have decided to tell
you something relative to the
Lords Prayer that is not generally
known.
To start at the very beginning of
the subject, it may be well to re-
mark that the perfection of mic
roscope depends almost entirely
upon the qaulity of the objective.
The objective is the small lens. or.
more properly, combination of
lenses, at the lower end of the mic
roscope tube nearest the object to
be observed.

tions, the most hazardous exploits.
At the Battle of Long Island, they
stood firm for more than four hours
with flying colors, the British ar
tillery playing upon them, but not
daring to advance, although they
were six times as many as the lit
tie band of Delaware and Mary
land patriots. More than once, Irv-
ing speaks of the gallant remains
of Haslet's command. At the time
when General Washington was
planning the surprise of the Hes
slams at Trenton, Colonel Haslet
was indisposed, and the command
er-in-chief offered him a furlough,
which he declined, and remaining
with his troops during that master
ly movement, only to fall a few
days after at Princeton. Of this
action, Irving says: The loss of
the Americans was about 25 or 30
men, and several officers. Among
the latter was Colonel Haslet, who
had distinguished himself through
out the campaign by being fore
most in services of danger. He was
indeed a gallant officer, and gal
lantly seconded by the Delaware
Troops" Life of Washington,
Vol. ID.
A company in Colonel Haslet s
regiment took with them game
chickens which were celebrated in
Kent county for their fighting
qualities and said to be the brood
of a certain blue hen known
throughout the State. The men
were very fond of game cocks and
in the intervals of duty used to
amuse themselves by making the
prize ROSTERS fight.
The fame of the matches spread
through the army so that the "blue
hens chickens" became a synonym
for the Delaware boys. The men
maintained no cock was truly
game unless its mother was a blue
hen, and since those of the Della
ware regiment were truly game,
they undoubtedly had the right to
come to be called "The Blue Hen S
Chickens.

l have seen the writing on the
plate l mention through a micro
scope using 1-12th objective.
Under this condition it could be
rea das easily as letters which are
1-16th of an inch high can be read
with the naked eye.
While this microscopic writing
is of little real Importance, never
theless it is interesting if only for
the fact that it furnishes material
for speculation on other subjects,
for example: it has often been
stated that aphysical basis of men,
ory may exist in a permanent
structural modification Of the mat
ter constituting the surface of the
brain. In well developed brain
this surface amounts to something
like $50 or $40 square inches. As
suming it to be the lesser number,
it would therefore appear that in
the neighborhood Of $500 volumes,
containing thesame amount of mat.
ter as the Bible, might be written
out in the English language on
such a surface, in characters cap
able of mechanical execution such
as those on the Webb test plate we
have mentioned. This probably
exceeds by a liberal margin the
sum total of the memories of any
lifetime.
On Monday, February s, Profess
sor Short taxed at the chapel exer-
cises at Delaware College on the
general subject Of the best atti-
tude of old students toward new
students at the College. After tell
ing about the efforts being put
forth by trustees, faculty, and
alumni toward the recent rapid ex-
pansion of the college, he explained
what he considered to be the func-
ton of the students in the develop
ment Of greater and better Della
ware College. He said that every
student in the College must feel
that he is in a large measure re-
sponsible, through his conduct at
college and away from the college,
for the respect in which his alma
mater is held throughout the state.
He emphasized the fact that the
practice Of hazing, which once
/ flourished at Delaware College, is
now considered disgraceful and
that no true Delaware College stu
dent will stand for hazing in any
form.
On Wednesday, February 1,
Professor Srager explained some
of the advantages Of the small col
lege over the large one. The three
main reasons for his opinion were
(1) that in a small college every
student can be prominent in some
thing, (2) that the relations be-
tween that of the faculty and stu
dents are closer, and (3) that the
attitude of the graduate Of small
! college is more likely to mean sue
cess than is the attitude of the
graduate of the large college or
University.

Colonel John Haslet-Bril-
liant Revolutionary Hero

liant NeVOlutlOnary E1eIO
In the Journals of the Continen-
tai Congress-, published by the Lii
brary of Congress in 1905, under
the date of Saturday, December 8,
1775, there appears the following
entry: "On motion, Resolved, That
an order issue for raising four bat
talions in the colony of Pennsyl-
vania. on the same terms as that
already raised.
Resolved, That like order is
sue for raising one battalion in the
lower counties on Delaware, on the
same terms as those ordered to be
raised in Pennsylvania"
Orders We're sent to the commit
tee of Safety to recommend officers
for the proposed battalion. After
receiving a list of the Delaware
men, Congress proceeded to the
choice of John Haslet, Esq, col
onel, and Cunning Bedford, Esq,
lieutenant colonel.
From the researches of Capt. H.
H. Bellas, as published in the Will
mington Sunday Herald of 1898,
we learn that the Haslet family
was represented in Delaware and
Maryland prior to the Revolution
by three brothers, John, Joseph,
and William, natives of the north
of Ireland and Of Scotch Irish
; Presbyterian stock.
The eldest of the four brothers.
John Haslet, was educated for the
ministry of the Presbyterian
Church, but after his settlement in
d Mispillon hundred, Kent county,
Delaware, he took up the practice
of medicine. During the French
and Indian War he commanded a
company in Col James Burd's Sec
ond Pennsylvania battalion in the
expedition against Fort Duquesne
in 1853.
John Haslet was a large athletic
and handsome man. and in courage
and impulse typical Irishman
From the earliest days of the Amer
lean conflict he was stalwart Wing
and Caesar Rodney early fastened
upon him as a fit man for military
command. Rodney wrote him

gress in the early summer of 1776.
melting him to the work of raising
troops. When the Declaration of
Independence was adopted Rodney
despatched a mounted messenger
Ensign Wilson, on the night of
July 4th, to carry the news to Has
let. He found the colonel at
Dover, extremely busy enlisting
men. Il congratulate you, sir, /"
wrote Haslet in reply, ION the i'm
portant day which restores to every
American his birthright,-a day
which every freeman will record
with gratitude, and the millions of
posterity read with rapture. A
fine turtle feast at Dover an
nounced and anticipated the de-
claration of Congress. "
Colonel Haslet was commission
ed January 19, 1776, and remained
in service until he was killed at the
Battle of Princeton. January 3.
1777. He was buried in Philadel-
phia. In 1S41, however, his re-
mains We're removed by the State of
Delaware, and buried with great
ceremony on July Sd in the Presby-
terian churchyard at Dover, where
a monument marks his resting
place.
From Volume l, Biographical
Encyclopedia of the State of Della
ware, published by j. NJ. Runk and
Co., we quote the following:
"The record of Colonel Haslet's 8
year of service in the Continental
army was one of surprising pat
riotism and gallantry. His regi-

leader, shared in its glory. Every
