Hard-Worked Student.

President Hibben of Princeton aD-
pears to confirm the charges of the
undergraduate" who recently had an
article in the Outlook, that college
student had small incentive to work
and that in most instances he could
loaf pleasantly through the course.
This article brought many letters to
the Outlook, and the discussion took
a pretty wide range. President Hib-
ben addressed a conference of mas
tiers of church schools at Wayne.
Philadelphia suburb, and among the
things he said was this: Men in the
world must earn their bread by the
sweat of their brows, but the student
can acquire knowledge quite vicari-
ously, without having to exert himself
for it. He should be made to think
his way out of difficulties himself"

jar and a clatter. The prisoner turned
toward it, exchanging a salute with
the officer in charge.
The men, upon a curt order, closed
about him. Another order, and they
marched off, taking him with them,
courteously, with due military cbserv-
ance of his rank, to put him against a
tree and carefully kill him. The Ian
tern and little crowd of onlookers
streamed after them; that miracle
the only one of which man is capable
of turning human being into car

and presently, adding itself to the up
roar of the nearby battle, where men
were dying by hundreds with no for
mality at all, there came the noise of

Liqht in Modern War

From what has been said it appears
that the new art of fighting with light
is both offensive and defensive. Light,
under up-to-date military conditions, is
in way a weapon of war-just as
much as the rifle or the machine gun.
If, once drawn into international con-
flict, we are not to be beaten, we must
learn how to use it. Which, in word.
represents exactly the problem that
Uncle Sam is now trying to solve.
Invisibility is the keynote Of mod.
ern warfare. To win, the fighting man
must not be seen by his adversary.
Hence the development of night-fight-
ing. Never in the history of war has
the surprise attack cut so large fig
ure as in the present conflict. Dark
ness, for such purposes, is the best
help. Advantage is taken of the cover
of night for the advance of large bod.
les of troops, for flank movements. for
the emplacing of artillery, for the
construction of cover, for the bringing
up of munitions. The Zeppelins are
night-birds.

THAT was of course in the early
days and Mr.. Edison was then quite
the inventor that one reads of-poor,
enthusiastic, never sleeping. He lived
in a small house innocent of anything
approaching a laboratory; scientific
devices were in every room. and all
the money went for experiments.

guise of the collector for the gas COM

often, but Edison, hardly needing his

STAGE FAVORITEs NO MORE
Held That Negro Minstrel Companies
Will Be Only Memory Before
Many Years.

OF all the varied and manifold kinds
of theatrical entertainment negro min
strelsy is the one which is absolutely
native to these states and which could
not have come into existence any
where else in the civilized worl3.
Here in America alone has the trans
planted African been brought into in
innate contact with the transplanted
European. Other nations may nave
disputed our claim to the invention OF
the steamboat and the telegraph, but
negro minstrelsy is as indisputabiy
due to American inventiveness as the
telephone itself. Here in the United
States it had its humble beginnings;
here it expanded and flourished for
many years; from here it was export
ed to Great Britain, where it estap-
lished itself for many seasons; from
here it made sporadic excursions into
France and into Germany; and here
at last it has fallen into decline and
a degeneracy and a decay which seem
to doom it to speedy extinction. It's
life was little longer than that
vouchsafed to man, threescore years
and ten, for it was born in the fifth
decade of the nineteenth century and
in the second decade of the TWEEN
tieth it fingers superfuous on the
stage with none to do it reverence.
Time was when the negro minstrels
held possession of three or four thea
tiers in the single city of New York
and when a dozen or more troupes
were travelling from town to town.
and now they have long ago surren-
dered their last hall in the metropolis
and only two or three companies wind
their lonely way from theater to thea
ter throughout the United States.
The few surviving practitioners of the
art are reduced to the presentation OF
brief interludes in the all-devouring
variety shows or to the representation
of sparse negro characters in occa-
sional comedies. The Skidmore
Guards who paraded SO gayly at Har-
rigan and Harris are disbanded now
