be a point somewhere between the sur face and the bottom where it is so highly compressed as to support steel so that the wrecked vessel will remain sus- pended there.
 At the bottom of the ocean, which, at the point of greatest depth, is little over six miles, the density of the water, owing to the pressure, is only about one twentieth greater than at the surface. Only two substances so far investigated scientifically have been found less com p1 essible than water; these are glycerin and mercury Steel is compressed over 30 per cent more than water at the same pressure. From this it is clear that IS steel descends in the water 1t is com pressed half as much again as the water at the same depth, so that at no point would the density of the water be as great as that of the steel; therefore, there is no point where steel would be suspend ed above the bottom, even if the steel were dropped into a pit in the ocean reaching to the center of the earth.
 It is believed that no modern vessel has compartments containing air which are sufficiently rigid to withstand the pressure of water 100 feet or more below the surface, so that the buoyant effect of these need not be considered.
 In considering this question notice must be taken of the fact that the pressure of the water is eXerted in all directions. That is, a body immersed in water sus- tains pressure tending to draw it down. ward with 8 force practically equal to that tending to prevent it's further sinking just as in the air bodies sustain the same pressure on all sides From all these facts we may safely conclude that any object that sinks at the surface of the water will sink clear to the bottom of the ocean,

The ancient Greeks never ate straw berries at two obols a pound, the custom ary price on the costermongers' barrows in Fleet street, and had no word in their language for the fruit The Roman poet Ovid describe sthe eating of strawberries among the delights of the golden age, while Virgil associates strawberry pick ing with the perils of love.

In War the Laws Still Rule

From the Chicago Record Herald
 Though Canada is at war, the Ca nadian courts. to their honor and Can adds, have refused to accept the bad old maxim of Roman militarism, Inter arma leges tacent"-''in war the laws are silent
 A German alien employed by a Ca nadian firm was injured and sought redress under the industrial accidents act. The employer entered the rather paltry plea that, being "an alien ene- my" the man had no right to bring suit. The court of first instance enter tained this plea to the extent of post poing action until after the end of the war. The appeal court rejected it al together.
 The higher court held, in substance that, being merely an alien who hap pened to be in Canada when the war began and not proved guilty of any act of hostility or espionage, the in jured man was fully entitled to the protection of the laws and could re- cover the damages provided by law upon the usual proof of the facts.

PROFESSOR LANoToN,
BY Or. George Thomas
Logan Republican, March 2, 1915

In the death Of Prof Willard Sam
uel Langton the State of Utah has
lost one of her notable sons. Born
a few years after the settlement of
the valley he wove out of the early
experiences incident to pioneer life
a career remarkable for its fullness
and completeness. From early youth
he was student and philosopher,
yet his interest in human life and its
activities remained keen to the last.
His rich experience and varied quail
ties made him an exceptionally
agreeable companion and devoted
friend.
Strong in body, strong in intel
lect and strong in the purpose to do
right, yet in his nature he was kind
and gentle to a fault. He always
strove to do right. At the same time
his purpose was to attain the desir-
ed end with the least friction and
with the greatest consideration for
the feelings and convictions of 9TH
ers. His strength demanded for
himself rightful exercise of his own
conviction; his generosity accorded
the same rights to others.
In scholarly pursuits he spent
his active life and attained posi-
ton held by few and surpassed by

Director Cooper Union

We are come together today In re-
membrance-in loving remembrance
of the colleague and teacher who
has just passed away.
None Of us would be content, think
without some opportunity OF express
ing ourselves, however inadequately,
over the loss we have sustained.
Prof. Langton came to US quietly
and modestly four years ago, and In
those four years he won our affection
our respect, and our regard for his
high qualities as a man and teacher.
In his chosen field Of mathematics
he was possessed Of fine scholarship
and high ability. He was indeed an
artist in his appreciation OF the
meaning Of mathematics In life and
in its relation to engineering and to
industry.
On this side our loss is great, but
IL is not for the scholar that we
grieve but for the man.
Here In Cooper Union our condi-
tions are very different from those
OF schools in smaller cities and in
the newer parts Of the country,
There the homogeneity of student
body and faculty makes natural a
feeling OF sympathy and fellowship
between teacher and pupil. Here we
face a different situation.
Yet this man came to us from the
West to our new and strange condi-
lions, to a student body OF many
races and many creeds, and brought
a sympathy, an understanding, fel'
lowship, a brotherliness, so VAIN, so
kindly and SO insistent to serve that
he won the affectlonate regard oi
every student with whom he came in
contact as he did every one of his
colleagues.
No one could have entered into the
traditions and spirit OF this institu
tion more quickly and more sympa
thetlcally than he did. He has spok

OUR BROTHER LANGToN
Mrs J. r. Morrell

The call came from Heaven, 1--WE
need a great man
To help to completion our glorious
plan;
A man who has proven himself upon
earth
Just and true, pure and valiant Of
indisputable worth"
Do some say God had nothing to do
with the call?
The God who marks even the small
sparrow's fall
Creator Of universe-maker OF law
Can they find in His wonderful work
fault or flaw?
There Is no flaw in His wonderful
plan;
The only imperfect creation is man,
And God has sent him down to per-
feet his life
In the midst of temptation and trial
and strife.
And when a man conquers-becomes
strong and true,
There is waiting in Heaven a great
work to do;
Not to play a fine harp with its pure
golden strings
While the angels go by on their
beautiful wings.
