Iron win Float Upon Mercury.

Mercury is an unusual metal. 1t
is not solid, but a liquid, a liquid so
heavy that iron will float upon it. If
a gold ring or coin is dropped into
mercury, the gold will become covered
with a silver coating. This coating is
an amalgam, which is the name given
to all similar alloys of mercury. The
same thing would happen if copper
or almost any other metal were placed
in mercury.-Boys' Life.

Brooklyn, N. Y, and president of the
Stony Brook assembly, a Presbyterian
institution which is to Long Island
what Mortified is to Massachusetts,.
The college is to be erected on the
grounds of the assembly at Stony
Brook, Long Island, and the plan is
to support it by endowments from in
dividuals and benevolent organiza-
lions.
Doctor Carson says that the time
is ripe for the foundation of a high
grade college for ambitious youths
who are precluded by lack of means
from attending existing institutions,
and he further says that the needs of
the age demand that such a college
for poor boys should be a Christian
institution. Therefore one of the es-
sential studies at the Stony Brook
college will be that of the Bible, in
which lessons the student will receive
examinations and marks the same as
in secular studies.
Construction of the necessary col
These will contain class and lecture
rooms and study halls. The existing
buildings at Stony Brook will be util-
lied for college purposes until they
are outgrown. These include a large
auditorium which has been used for
summer conferences and is suitable
for a college auditorium. The two es-
tablished hotels on the Stony Brook
grounds, Johnston hall and Hopkins
hall, will be used as dormitories for
the boys
Stony Brook already represents an
investment of 100000. The assembly
controlling it is a Presbyterian body,
but it is not intended to make the new
Christian college a UNCONVENTIONAL in
stitution. Indeed many of the sum-
mer conferences of the Stony Brook
assembly have from the very inception
been INSTRUMENTATION.
Stony Brooks benevolent and edu-
cational purposes have already won
Substantial support from philanthropic
people. Hopkins hall, one of the two
the grounds, is the gift of Ferdinand
T. Hopkins of Katonah, n. Y. whose
portrait adorns the wall over the huge
fireplace at the entrance. Johnston
hall is the gift of Robert Johnston Of
st. Louis. There has just been added
to the equipment of Stony Brook a
large portion of the magnificent Ii
brary of the late Judge Jesse S.
L'Amoreaux of Ballston Spa. N. T.,
who made Stony Brook one of the
residuary legatees of his large for
tune.
Stony Brook was founded in the
midst of the native woods of Long
Island on high land whose climate
will doubtless appeal to the youths at
tending the college, as it has appealed
to the throngs that have attended the
summer conferences. These confer
ences nave demonstrated Stony Brooks
success through several summers, and
the officers deemed it prudent to util-

The graduates of these two great
schools have desired for years to com

leaving the academies has been an in

This rule is broken for the football

that the track men should get like
permission, especially in view OF the
national Importance in which the re-
lay carnival is held.
The relay committee. at the sUg-
Sestion Of several army and navy
officers, has written TO the Secretary
OF the Army and Navy and TO the
heads of the two academies, giving
them information about the relay
carnival and showing its national
scope and representation.

quite possible that the race may take
place on April 20, the closing day OF
