Night Editor-JOHN I. DAKIN. WHO WANTS ETERNAL LIFE? according to the Detroit Daily Times, Dr. Eu- e Lyman Fiske, a biologist of note, has come ward in an article for the Yale Review in which claims that before long human life will be pro- ged 'to a two thousaid year span. n disposing of the problems introduced by such gevity, the good Dr. Fiske shows tremendous igiative powers. Hie would control the birth- e by determbiningsex; put the surplus of popula- a to death by lot; and when the numbers become large to be disposed of in this way, he would pose of the extras by shooting them to other nets in specially constructed torpedoes. Any 'rsupply of females would be overcome in the l by a wholesale slaughter, because, the Doctor vely explains, their biological value would be at end. Perhaps Doctor Fiske believes that woman, money, is the root of all evil and that she is rated solely because she is necessary for the petuation of the species. ?ossibly the reporter who wrote up the story and interview had just had a shot of hop and mis- ted right and left. .Perhaps we are hopelessly ctionary and iconoclastic toward scientific spec- tion of the unshackled variety here exhibited. At - rate we wish to go on record here and now as :ing that we do not want to live for two thousand .rs, we don't want to exist so long that all of o r sions are destroyed, and we hate to contemplate possibility 6f'an exclusively nasculine world.. lere's hoping for death before eternal life ap- rs upon this mortal sphere. THE FEMALE FIGHT FAN tev. Dr. John RoachStraton, pastor of the Cal- y Baptist church of New York City, is evi- tly a member of that Puritanically-minded order ch has been responsible for the "blue laws" agh on. And the Reverend Doctor has lately re- red a shock which bids fair to be the worst of career. Women have attended a prize fight in v York City. Think of it. Have' really been sent at a prize fight, and what is even more -niing and degrading, have allowed their names > affixed to statements appearing in "the public its" actually glorifying the spectacle which they aessed. nd Dr. Straton bewails this freedom which is ig exercised by the women of New York as "a 'ible thing." One can well imagine the gentle- i when news of the dastardly affair was brought is attention. Doubtless he hs never been pres- at a prize-fight.. One would be surprised to find : he had ever witnessed a boxing match, and id believe him to be the sort who would raise hands in horror at the spectacle of two urchins :he street fighting out their battles at fisticuffs, afterwards being as good or better friends than are: ust why should prize fighting be forced to re-. n without the pale of decent sport? Certainly e is no art which is more manly than that of ac- 'ing the ability to defend oneself at boxing, 7,d the mere fact that prize fights.are boxing matches held for money should not render them so very much' different from matches staged merely for glory and honor. During the war, boxing was held to be one. of the most important phases of the training of each recruit, and considerable spirit and feeling was aroused among the different contingents through boxing matches which were held. The war changed many things. Can we clot be- lieve that it may have brought forth a higher stand- ard in womanhood, the long-heralded, New Woman, the girl who would glory with the man in his triumphs, physical as well as mental, and whose mind would be above seeking the -only element in the prize fight which Dr. Straton sees, that she was watching "two practieylly naked men battering and bruising each other." NEEDED: AN ART COMBINE Although there is at Michigan no separate art school where one may receive instruction in actual painting ad drawing and also take tip the study of art works from an appreciate and constructive view- point, we have courses in both the literary and en- gineering colleges which, if combined, would form a department which might be of high ultimate benefit to all students interested either directly or indirectly in art work. In the literary college we have classes in fine arts under Professor Cross which have always been recognized for their value in giving tie student a better knowledge of the fundamental characteris- tics of the art of the past and present. In the arch- itecture college we have a series of subjects offered to architects and lits alike, which teach free-hand and architectural drawing and painting, and mod- eling as well. In the former department we can develop 'our appreciation of the fine things in all types of art; we can, by following up the short list of subjects offered therein, learn much of the basic standards of drawing, painting, and sculp- ture. On the other hand, a knowledge of the actual technique of the work itself can be gained only from such viork as that offered in the college of architecture. These types of courses go hand in hand. A com- bination of the two into a single department of fine arts would not be an art school, but it would be a long step in the right direction and should not only do much toward increasing the sense of artistic a- preciation among the students but would make it more attractive for students to come here and pur- sue a course in art study and practice along with their other college work. The suggestion is not an impracticable one and should not make necessary any great amount of re- construction. If such a department were organ- ized it would be a sound basis upon which a school of art might finally be built up.

Slide through it, so to speak. The Telescope Quite Right' When asked, "What is a crazy bone ?" He answered, his head in a whirl, "A crazy boneis, to my mind, A dollar spent on a college girl." How to Be the Life of the Party LESSON v The purpose of these lessons is to enable a man to acquit himself creditably not only in the draw- ing room but wherever he may chance to be. Thus the following lesson is intended primarily for the dinner table. A It may thus be 'that you do not find the biscuit, for instance, to your liking. Haling told the boarding-house keeper so, she may reply a little caustically: "Young enan, I want you to know I made these biscuits before you were born." At her words allow the doubt and bewilderment to vanish from your face and reply in the tone of on on whom enlightenment has suddenly dawned: "Well, wl, that explains the whole thing." Then as the thunderous applause of the rest of the boarders becomes a deafening din, suddenly pull from your pocket a silk handkerchief and del.- icately blow your nose. (The situation by this time is pretty delicate so this will simply mean acting natufal.) When somebody, finally notices about the hand- kerchief, remark in an offhand.manner that it cost you $3.00. And then when the star boarder greets this announcement with the comment that that's a lot of money to pay for a handkerchief, reply non- chalantly: "You're right; that's really a lot of money to blow in." And after that all you have to do is to make some remark about the weather and you can be assured of a hearty guffaw.

Mount a metal on a wire in the lamp near the filament. A current the space between the filament and the plate when the WS. st observed this phenomenon in 1883. Hence it was Edison effect." = , b -' ' " 'a k Scientists long studied the "effect" but they could not explain it satisfactorily. Now, after years of experimenting with' Crookes tubes, X-ray tubes and radium, it is known that the current that leaps across is a stream of "electrons"- exceedingly minute particles negatively charged with electricity. These electrons play an important part in wireless communica- tion. When a wire grid is interposed between the filament and the plate and charged positively, the plate is aided in drawing elec'trons across; but when the grid is charged negatively it drives back the elec- trons. A very small charge applied to the grid, as small' as that ae- ' ceived from a feeble wireless wave, is enough to vary the electron stream. So the grid in the tube enables a faint wireless impulse to controf the very much greater amount of energy in the flow of electrons, and so radio signals too weak to be perceived by other means become per- ceptible by the effects that they produce. Just as the movement of a throttle controls a great locomotive in motion, so a wireless wave, by means of the grid, affects the powerful electron stream. All this followed from studying the mysterious "Edison effect"- a purely scientific discovery. No one can foresee what results will follow from research in pure . science. Sooner or later the world must benefit practically from the discovery of new facts. For this reason the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company are concerned as much with investigations in pure science as they are with the improvement of industrial processes and products. They, too, have studied the "Edison effect " scientifically. The result has been a new form of electron tube, known as the "pliotron", a type of X-ray tube free from the vagaries of the old tube; and the "kene- tron", which is called by electrical engineers a "rectifier" because it has the property of changing an alternating into a direct current. All these improvements followed because the Research Labora- tories try to discover the "how" of things. Pure science always justifies itself. General Office SchenePtady,N.Y. i ,.
