A FINE CHANGE.
StoWe's Change in Forwards Resultcd
 Very Fortunately.

New Haven. Feb. 15.-When Coach Bobby Stowe pulled Olsen and Welner' the Yale regular forwards, from the basketball team, and substituted two novices, Brush and Haughton he made a move which has kept Yale in the running for the inter collegiate cham pionship, for Yale, which had been beaten by Dartmouth before Yale's brilliant junior promenade crowd the Green Mountaineers, at Hanover, and won easily
 Olsen and Weiner are regulars or two seasons experience, but they have been off in their shooting for fort night and Stowe's radical move un- doubtedly saved Yales slender chance of remaining till the very finish in the intercollegiate race Yale will make another attempt to rise to the top or the league when Cornell, which gave Yale the worst drubbing the five has received this season, comes here Sat urday. Both sets of forwards, Olsen and Weiner, and Brush and Haughton were used in that game and against Williams in the game, here last night
 Newell Garfield, grandson of the President of the United States, has not regained his physical form. He under went an operation during the Christ mas vacation and will be used as only a basketball substitute this season. He will be Yale's mainstay in the base ball box this season.

TO PLAY MERDEN.

Manager Bertini of the High school basketball team received word from Meriden last evening that arrange ments for game with the team rep resenting the Silver City school are satisfactory. The game will be played in Meriden, Saturday, March IS. There is great rivalry between the schools because of past relations and especial ly on account of the claim made by Meriden to the right to question the championship caliber of the local football team last season. An at tempt was made to arrange a game be- tween the football teams, but failed. The local team will be presented In Meriden by as strong a team as can be recruited from the squad, and a pig delegation from this city will attend the game.

What Became of the Trousers.


OF Judge Parry's many stories of the
Manchester county court that about the
comedy of a mans Sunday trousers is
one of the best. In the plaintiffs box
was woman, in the defendants an
elderly collier The plaintiff stated her
case. Il lent yon mons missis my
mons Sunday trousers to pay is rent

The defendant at first replied
"There's nowt in it at ALL" Pressed
for ii more definite reply, he scowled
at the judge and protested. why. the
ole street knows all about them trous-

But Judge Parry was not the "'ole
street." and he patiently encouraged
the defendant to talk until he got the
explanation. WHY. yon woman an

ed. | also got so that | could work
my ears like jackrabbit. There was
one thing that bothered the new set
tiers. They hadn't money to buy coal
oil lamps, and there was no wood
within 20 or 30 miles so they could
burn that for light. Old Billdad Lass
well concluded that he could figure
out a way to get around that difficult
ty and he did. One evening l looked
out of my dugout and noticed that it
was lit up around Billdad's house like
a bonfire. | looked and looked and
called to a Teller who was camping
with me and says, What in heck is
going on over at Billdad's place.?
and he says, Search me- Well, we
concluded to 90 over and investigate.
AS we came nearer the light increased
and it was harder than ever for us to
figure out what was happening. Fin
ally we got up close, and what do you
think it was? Well, sir, old Billdad
had a thousand trained lightning bugs
a sitting on poles he had set up
around the place and every one was
making all the light he could and old
Billdad and his family was sitting
in the middle of the ring reading by
the light. | says to old Billdad: How
in tarnation did you work this
scheme?' Billdad explained that he
had been working on his plan of train
ing lightning bugs for more than a
year, and now had more than thou
sand that would come whenever he
blew the whistle. It's the cheapest
kind of light said Billdad. Don't
cost a cent to feed these bugs and
they give out steady clear light all
night if you want them to. At ii
O'Clock | blow the whistle which is
signal for them to close up and get
to their resting places. It's just IL
now With that Billdad took whis-
tie out of his pocket and blew it. In
stanter, every blamed one of them
bugs closed his light and
we was left in the darkness. Billdad
had also trained few bugs special
so that when he drove out over the
prairie they would sit up on the
spring seat of the wagon with him
and light the way. He said that he
had acquired a real affection for them
bugs all of whom had learned their
names and would come when called" !

ed and the very biggest thing
which has been measured, ar,
so wonderfully small and so marvel
ously large that we can scarcely com
prehend them when we see the figures
The smallest thing which has beer
actually measured is a light wave
The largest thing which has been de-
termined with fair degree of accur-
acy is the star Campus.
Light waves, of course, are of diff
ferent lengths. In the spectrum, the
red waves are longest; orange next,
yellow next and so on to the violet,
which are shortest of the visible
waves. So if we were to give the
measurement of the very smallest
thing we would have to take one Of
the light waves in the violet end of
the spectrum, or better still, one OF
the waves in the ultra violet portion
which is visible.
The shortest of these that has been
ueJefHllHeu is lNV ihiiiiOhIiio VI q mn
limeter. Changing this to fractions
of an inch, we can comprehend the
smallness of the wave better. If
these waves were placed one on top of
the other, there would be more than
two hundred thousand of them in
line one inch long. The negative cor
puscle which is a constituent part of
the atom is known to be smaller than
this, but its exact size has not been
determined.
But the figures on the magnitude
of the largest thing in the world that
has been measured, are even more
There may be larger
stars than Campus, but they haven't
oeen found yet. Our sun has dia
meter of $4,000 miles. Campus has
a diameter 1874 times greater. 1t has
a volume of 2,420,000 times as large !
as the volume of the sun. To give
some idea of this greater size, 1t
night be said that Campus gives out
1900 times as much light as the sun.
But we don't appreciate this greater
luminosity here on earth for the rea-
ION that Campus is so far away that
f its light should suddenly go out, we
know it for four hundred
ears and light travels at the rate OF
SO, 900 miles a second, or 10 billion
niles year.
The odd part of these measure
nents is that both are determined by
Methods almost identical. Due to the
act that light waves are retracted'
is only a matter of determining the
ngle of refraction and, by triangula-
ion, finding the length. This is made
ossible because of certain property
f light waves known as interference.
f the crest of one wave is imposed
non the trough of another, they IN
erfere," that is they "neutrallze"

Largest and Smallest Things

1t is for this reason that it is pos
sible for two rays of light to produce
darkness. So the man peering into
a spectroscope may determine the
length of these little light waves with
a surprising degree of accuracy.
By looking through his telescope,
noting various angles and using a
system of triangulation, the astrono-
mer is able to give a fair estimate of
the size of Campus. The difference is
that the physicist must feel like
giant. when he is dealing with little
light waves while the astronomer
must think himself very tiny pigmy
when he juggies his figures.
