Ellsha Mitchell Scientific Society The 122nd meeting of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society was held in the Chemical Lecture Room on Tuesday evening and a most inter esting and instructive program was carried out. Prof. Gore explained the con struction and workings of the sys tern of wireles telegraphy which is attracting so much attention at present. The apparatus seemed to be very simple but exceedingly del icate and its working was shown to depend on the transmission of ether vibrations due to the spreading and collapsing of lines of electrical force about a vertical conductor. Prof. Cain presented a paper on "The History of Mathematics. He traced the origin of the science to the Egyptians who however made almost no advances in it for many hundred years. The mathe matical knowledge of the Babylo nians was more extended and more accurate, and it. is to them that we owe the universally used sexages imal system. Their attention was largely directed towards Astron omy. , Maj. Cain then showed us how far advanced were the Hindoos They introduced the so-called Ara bic notation and made the first use of the principle of position to indi cate numerical value. Their knowledge of trigonometry, arith metic and algebra was considerable but they made little advance in Geometry. Continuing Maj. Cain pointed out the fact that it is to the Greeks in general and Euclid in particular that we are largely in debted for our knowledge of this particular branch of the science, the original propositions of Euclid being even used in England to-day It was further shown that some of the greatest mathematicians of an cient time were members of the famous Greek school of Alexandria and after this school was broken up no advance was made for nearly a thousand years. Then refugees from Constantinople, after that city had fallen into the hands of the Turks, brought Greek manu scripts 'into Italy aiid since that time great progress has been con tinually made. The attendance at this meeting was quite large, showing the live ly interest taken bv the members of the University in the up-to-date, scientific questions which are dis cussed by the Society.

It is much to be deplored that the institution known as Commons Hal seems to be steadily losing favor in the eyes of those whom it was primarily intended to serve. This it seems to us, must be a matter o regret to all who have an interes in the welfare of the University and its students. In these modern times we hear a great deal said about physical education; and it is gener ally agreed that a sound body is just as necessary to enable a man to attain success in life as is a we trained mind. This being true, it is the duty of every institution o learning to see to it that its students get good food; for without thi there can be no physical develop ment. Unless the student eats wholesome, well prepared 'food 'he cannot grow muscles, though he spend many hours each day in the gymnasium. Now, it is not depravity on the part of the students that makes them, quit Commons; the trouble must be with Commons itself .The cause o this trouble ought to be inquired in to and removed, if possible. Thi writer has no intent to critise; he wishes simpl- to make a suggestion What Commons needs most is r trained cook, a man skilled in pre paring meats for the table, a cook, not a tanner. We have no need of a tanyard. One good cook would be worth , three poor ones. Com mons has a good baker; now give us a trained cook, and Commons will be a grand success and will have as many boardersas can be accommodated. In the College World. Yale has an endowment of $4,500, 000; Columbia $6,000,000; Cornell 5,000,000; and Chicago Universit $12,0000,000. Thirty candidates for next year's foot ball team at Harvard are lining up daily, And getting in trim for next year. . T" it '1 C T-V inuring tne presiaeucy or Dr. Dwight ot Yale, he has given the University more than $1,000,000, or twice the amount of his salary. Gen. Joseph A. Wheeler will de liver the annual address before the literary societies of Washington and Lee University at their Com mencement, June 12. The Gulf States inter-collegiate oratorical contest, which was to have been held at the University of Ala bama on April 29th., has been post poned until May. 12. An appeal to Yale graduates for $2,000,000 has just been made by the Yale bi-centeunial committee on funds. This sum is' to be used for the erection of a commemorative hall and for University endowments. Prof. Noble returned . from Selma Monday afternoon. He went down to see his father, who is seriously ill at his home in that town. I THE University Magazine.

A Wonderful Invention. . Zoology teaches that the hairs of the head are hollow, and contain an oil that gives them life. In clipping the hair with scis sors, this hollow is left open, and the hair loses its life-giving properties. . I have a Machine named the Singeing Ma chine, which removes the hair and at the same time closes up the hollow, causing- the hair to retain its life-giving- properties, and therefore stopping the hair from falling- out or dying, and giving it a soft growth. Call and examine this machine and have your hair singed. Special attention given to dressing La dies' hair. Cutting done with exquisite and srtistis skill by the old Universiiy Barber of twenty years' experience. The singing machine is highly recom mended by scientists throughout the country.
