OF the problem OF increased pay for
teachers and increased facilities for re-
search work and also referred to q
recently announced increase in tuition
effective in September, 1881.
Provision for Students.
'To increase tuition without at the
same time making provision for stu
dents who have not sufficient means C
take advantage of the education Of
fered by the institution would be
tragic. The plan adopted to meet this
difficulty is that loan will be made
to any student who passes the required
tests of ability, character and per-
sonality for the amount of the tut
ton either in part or in whole. Thi.
loan will be made usually after ht
has been one year at the institution
and can be repaid in small installmentS

yesterday after Senator Norris, Re-

Tuesday.
The Norris compromise, presented on
behalf of the Senate conferees. would
provide Government operation of power
facilities Of the mammoth hydro
electric project and private operation
of the fertilizer and nitrate properties.
House conferees declined to accept
the compromise, but it was said later
that two of the five were definitely
mind" and one other was expected to
join the support of the proposal.
Agreement by the confereeS would
revive prospects for final action at this
session.
Expectation Of this waned when the
two Houses adopted Numerically OPP
posed provisions. The Senate adopted
a resolution by Norris providing Gov
eminent operation. The House, after
voting down proposal for Govern
ment operation, provided for leasing
the plant for private operation, The
Senate has not voted at this session
on a proposal for private operation.
Representative Quin, Mississippi, o
Democratic conferee, said after the
meeting that he and Representative
Fisher, Democrat. Tennessee, ARE for
the compromise and will work for its
acceptance"

BLUE LAWS UPHELD

Kansas Supreme Court Rules
Against Sunday Movie Show.
Topeka, June 7 (R.-The Kansas

for the nonce, and the entire
frameworkof the stars revolve
around it. A similar alternar
tive confronted Copernicus; and
instead Of accepting both horns
Of the dilemma, as EinStein did,
Copernicus chose the simpler
conception.
No doubt CopernicuS was IA

early Greeks, the Pythagoreans
and AristarchuS-that "the sun,
sitting on the royal throne, gov
erns the family Of stars" Dis
satisfied with the prevailing
theories, he reverted to this
early theory, to which he
ascribed the initial suggestion
for his work.
He put the theory to the test:
tried it out, to see If it would
work, would fit the recorded
observations, and save the pho
nomena. "I found" he SayA

Einsten has said, in a famous
passage, that the great artist,
painter, sculptor, scientist, nat
ural philosopher makes the
universe. Each makes o par
ticular universe Se-not, surely,
the real universe, but one which
expresses his own nature ana
represents his creative view OF
the universe.
Bernard Shaw recently said
that there, had been eight
makers Of universes in the en-.
tire history of science. OF
these, Copernicus is conspicuous
for having, as it were, shifted
the entire center Of gravity OF
the universe. He didn't make
over the universe; he merely
transferred his post Of obServa-
ton from the earth to the sun.
The great contribution made
to astronomical science was TO
divine the logic in the universal
situation. From the time OF
Ptolemy, astronomers had been
using circles to describe and
construct the orbits OF the
planets. Copernicus did not
discard these useful parapher-
malta, He was unable to dis
pense with epicycleS, although
he used them much more
SnaringIv than Ptolemy had
done.
He did not discover that the
planets revolved in ellipseS in
stead of circles. He clearly
analyzed the faults of his prede-
ceSSorS in astronomy and
showed the defects in their sys-
TENS. The school Of astrono-
mers which employed homo
centric spheres were able to ex-
plain only some Of the move
ments, but were unable to set
UP any exact mechanical
scheme which would cover all
the phenomena. On the other
hand, the school which chung
to epicycles and eccentrics were
able to devise a scheme which
corresponded with the results
of their observations as re-
corded in the tables; but their
theories were not reasonable,
since they did not fit into any
rational conception Of physical
law.
