Members Of the Kn~ickerbocker Club
last night for the first time went into
their new clubhouse at the south corner
Of Fifth avenue and Sixty-second street.
on the site OF the old Schmidt and
Lanman Bull houses. A large bunch
OF American Beauty roses stood on the
console in the hallway and there was a
general meeting OF the members but no
formal social ceremonies.
The new clubhouse Is the second which
the Knickerbocker has occupied. Ever
since its formation in 1874 II has been
housed in what was originally the Peter
Moller house at the northeast corner
OF Thirty-second street and Fifth

the advantage which the presence or

windows on the Fifth avenue side OF
the club one sees only the green shrubs
and trees. SO restful Is the effect that
there might be n stretch OF country
oppos,te. This feature of the house Is
especially enjoyable from the terrace at
the southern end OF the club. Here are
chairs and tables surrounded by shrub
berry and water falls from a fountain on
the southern wall OF tho building.
Like Washington square Houses.

white stone trimmings. The eNort or

Nearing's Record High h.

last spring the faculty recommended
hin Tor reeugagement. His record botn
as a student and as a teacher was very
hlgh. ! took pains to look this up. and
his record is fldwless and is n of the
bes, OF the forty professors and irstruc-
tors. in his department. Now II II mad
been the intention OF the trustees 10 let
hin 20 they ought to have given him
lo.!ce last spring 50 that he might have
looked about for another job.
But they did nothing of the kind.
They waited until several days after
commencement and then quietly adopted
the list OF men recommended by the
.acu.ty, but with Nearing's name left
CT the list.
Right here is where I think the
whole system at Pennsylvania Is wrong.
! believe that the trustees should con-
fine themselves to the financial problems
ot the university and with the accept
ance or rejection OF such recommended
.ons on other matters as their faculty
or other representatives may make. But
he Pennsylvania trustees. OF whose in
Ieligenee In these matters ! have n poor
opinion, are q content TO let the
faculty decide educational matters.
Now the case OF Nearing is a strik-
ing.y good one on which to drive
quarely home this matter OF mlsadmin-
.s,raton. Nearing has some private
means and his personal life and teach
ing record are faultless. There is alb
pilie,y nothing against him but his
views on economic matters, notably on
child labor and workmen's compensa-
ton. ! do not agree with his views !r

According to f. S. Jordan, sales
manager for the Thomas B. Jeffery

who have been steadily building re-

In commenting on the big sales made
by his company during the winter
months Mr.. Jordan said, "All through

healthy demand for Jeffery ears, which
has at no time fallen below the mark,
which we consider to be highly favor

eat the Newark, New jersey, branch
of the Haynes Automobile Company,
the motor of Haynes Light Six was
started on the first day of last Decem-
ber, and had been running night and
day until at the present time the speed
ometer registers over 10000 miles,
states George w. H. Roberts, of Rob

ritory for the Haynes, America s First
Car. cit is the intention to keep this
motor running continuously, until the
$4,000 mile mark is passed.
1.-The entire car is mounted in the
show window ON blocks so that the rear
wheels may revolve and operate the
speedometer. The hood is removed and
the motor runs without any auxiliary
cooling agent. The surrounding tenn
perature is that of the salesroom. No
adjustment is permitted at any point.
The valves are to be used the entire
$4,000 miles without regrinding and
the spark plugs are not to be touched.
The vacuum system of gasoline feed
is employed so that it is simple mat
ter to refill the gasoline tank from time
to time. The oil consumption is aver
aging 500 miles to the quart. But one
pint of water is poured in the radiator
after each $50 miles of travel. The
gasoline consumption is averaging %
miles to the gallon.
"An unique method of illustrating g
the performance of the Haynes Light
Six under test has been adopted. The
mileage indicated by the speedometer
is marked on large map of the Unit
ed States so as to give graphic rep
resentation of what distance would
have been covered had the car been
actually travelling on the road. A minia-
ture automobile is mounted on the map
and moves from city to city as the
motor runs off the mileage. A heavy
black track is left behind. So far, the
miniature automobile has made an com.
plete circuit around the coast and bord
er line of the United States and has
completed trip across the continent
to the Pacific coast and back ADV.

MEASURING THE STARS.
What Is Meant by First and Second
Magnitude, and So On.

Magnitude, and So On.
The classification of the stars into
orders of magnitude. depending on
taken Il little hastily, with the result
that many stars have been found
which are brighter than stars of the
first magnitude. Aldebaran is typical
star of the first magnitude, but Sirius
is much brighter. Consequently the
system Of classification has to be ex-
tended.
A star of the first magnitude is %
times as bright as star of the second
magnitude; Il star Of the second mag
nitude is 2.5 times as bright as star
Of the third magnitude, and so on.
Stars which are 2.5 times as bright as
a star of the first magnitude are called
stars of magnitude. while stars 2.5
times brighter still are said to be o.
the Il magnitude. and so on.
Professor Ceraski has made measure
ments to determine the magnitude OF
the sun, reckoned in this way. BY
adopting different methods of measure
ments he reaches very accordant re-
suits, and it appears that our sun Is Il
star of the -36.5 order of magnitude,
which means that it sends us as much
light as sS0,000O00 of stars Of the first
magnitude.
At the distance Of a little over four
light years.. e., about 10000 times its
present distance-it would be star of
the first magnitude, so that, considered
as star, it is nothing out of the ordi-

A distinctive note decidedly in ad
vance of the usual type of construction
is the worm drive, which is beir. used
by the Thomas B. Jeffery Company on
their Jeffery Chesterfield Six this year.
Various experiments conducted at diff
ferent times have proven the worm
drive to be much more efficient than the
bevel type of drive which has been en-
ployed in rear axle construction in au-
tomiles for so long time. In addition
to its increased efficiency is an increas-
ed strength and an increase in the
silence of operation.
The difference in cost manufacturing
between the worm drive and the ordi-
nary type of bevel gear is much more
than Offset by the additional service
obtained in accordance with statements
