How Yale University Obtained Its
Fine Laboratory.

Written Expressly for The Washington Herald.

The late William D. Sloane was thought
by those who did not know him well to
have been man Of highly exclusive
ideas, associating only with those who
were recognized as member Of the aris-
tocracy OF wealth Or distinguished for
great intellectual gifts. Mr.. Sloane died
recently at his home in New York City.
and it was not until after his death that
the public realized how many and in the
social sense. how completely democratic
were his many benefactions. He was
connected by marriage with the Wander
bilt family. and Mrs. Sloane. by reason
of one of her benefactions to the Sloane
Maternity Hospital gained high reputa-
ton both in this country and in Europe.
Mr.. Sloane was really of a very kindly
disposition. but he was influenced by his
lifelong detestation of bores. hypocrites
and sham of every kind Some of his
friends thought that he carried this dis
position a little too far. not making due
allowance for the ordinary inflrmities Of
human nature. When his disposition to
philanthropic action was appealed to he
acted instantly and as a general thing
munifcently.
Some years ago, when Yale was ex-
pandinG upon broad university lines and
when Mr.. Sloane's brother-in-law. Fred
erick W. Vanderbilt, had contributed
literally TO various Yale funds. an
nouncement was made that the univer
sity was hampcred by reason OF the lack
of adequate laboratory. Competent
authorities had reported that 1t would

Teak in Great Demand.

The fact that lockwood is coarse grained. greasy to the touch. and pos sesses an offensive odor kept it in dis repute with English shipbuilders until 1897. when British shipbuilding and railway interests began to recognize the value of Indian teak. During the next seven years all the shipbuilding countries in the world joined in an ever-increasing demand for this tim Der until its prices were forced up to . figure much beyond their normal rates. It has practically become a staple of the local wood industry for the greater part of the entire Indian continent. Teak is being freely plant ed by the Indian forestry service in the important civil stations all over India. even as far north as Saharan- pur. Dehra Dun and Lahore

Woodrow Wilson The High
 Minded And Patriotic.

Now that practically all Eu- rope has been plunged into war over pretext that must be con- sidered trifling indeed, abso- lutely contemptible in view of the untold human misery involv- edit is to be hoped that fair minded Americans will begin to estimate more at their true val ue the wisdom and justice of that policy of watchful waiting which has proved so successful in President Wilson's handling of the Mexican question.
 Huerta proved himself pecul- iarly exasperating person, with much more ability and a greater command of resources than were at first credited to him, and there can be no doubt that a war of invasion. and possibly even of permanent occupation, would have proved popular with a large part of the Ameri- can public. After the landing at Vera Cruz nothing would have been easier than to find a pretext for such a warlike policy.
 But the President exercised a staying and a steadying hand. We did not go in. We have sav- ed ourselves the horrors of war and the long legacy of hate throughout Latin America which would surely have followed. If the example of our own Presi- dent could find imitators among the crowned heads of Europe, it would be blessing to humani- ty." Philadelphia Record.

 In order to know when 1t may have to provide the power necessary for h. creased illumination, New York cleo. trfc service company has devised a apparatus which will indicate the apr proach of Q thunderstorm several hours before any clouds appear. The apparatus resembles wireless recetv. ing equipment. and Is operated by faint impulses from electrical disturbances In the atmosphere. Receiving antennas intercept the impulses. which cause . relay to close an alarm-bell circuit. At first the signals are far apart, D.. -..- the electrical disturbance approaches the bell rings more frequently, From an hour to half an hour before tho storm breaks, depending on the intea- sity thereof, the bell will ring continu- ously.
