"The editor of Popular Mechanics
has compiled a list of the seven won-
ders of the modern world, and at the
head of the list stand the wireless
telegraph and the wireless telephone,
the first two things that should really
be called wonders of the world,"'de-
clared Dr. Karl . Guthe last even-
ing, in his lecture, "The Singing and
Speaking Arc Lights." "The wonders
of the ancient world were bulky
things, showing what muscle could
do; the wonders of the modern world
are small, showing what the human
mind can accomplish.
"Electricaty is the most evasive and
the most intangible phenomenon we
know, and for this reason electricity
has been d'fined as that phenomenon
of which we know nothing.
"The electric arc is quite old. Davy
in 1800 di coered that when he put
two carbons together he got a light;
but this fact was not given much at-
tention in this country until 1882.
"From the beginning, engineers
tried to make the arc give a steady
light. The light tried to say, by emit-
ting a whistling sound, that it could
do more than give light.
"Then the engineers attempted to
make the light keep quiet. That was
all wrong. They tried to make the
arc do just what they wanted it to
do, whereas there was genius in the
arc, it could do more. Specialization
is always wrong; we should get out
all there is in the student.
"The experiments of Simon in 1t898
with the speaking arc, and those of
Dudell in 1901 with the whistling arc,
convinced some physicists that the are
was musical.
"We do not realize the number of
musical instruments we have around
our homes-I do not mean pianos,
violins, and neighbors. Take the wat-
er spout for example. If the right
genius should construct a musical in-
struments out of water spouts of dif-
ferent lengths, he wtould soon have to
live all alone in the neighborhood.
"The speaking arc is two years
younger than the singing arc, and
perhaps for this reason it is more
boisterous. It can be used for a great
many uses, among which is wireless
telephony; and experiments have been
conducted along this line in Germany
quite recently."
Dr. Guthe accompanied his lecture
with several interesting and amusing
experiments. With the aid of an as-
sistant in a nearby room, Dr. Guthe
succeeded in making the are transmit
conversations, and render musical se-
lections which could be heard over
the entire room.

The Chinese Students' club has
adopted a new emblem, characteristic
of the revolutionary trend in the
fatherland. The insignia consists of
two republican flags with a triangular
shield in the middle. One flag is
blue with a white sun emitting twenty-
two rays, significant of the provinces
composing the Chung ttua republic,
and it has on the same field five stars,
representing the five races of the new
republic. The other flag is red with
a sun in a corner of it, and has a
dark blue background. The triangu-
lar shield which has a border of gold,
bears the lettering, "Chung Hua Kuo
Wan Sut," meaning "Long live the
Chniese republic."
The badge was the conception of
local students, and has been pro-
nounced by leaders of the Chniese
Students' Alliance to be both service-
able and emblematic of the new
China.

ST.ilNB(IEN U' 1111S LAID DOWN.
Yes, it has come. The days of the
fusser are numbered. Ere long the
species will be extinct at Michigan;
for there remain but two short weeks
of summer school at Ypsilanti, and
then-well, its all over, fellows. The
old town will be a different place next
fall. The sad details follow.
President Jones resigned last wint-
er, when the naughty legislature at
Lansing refused to give him a nice
new auditorium. The Normal had to
have a new president; for no normal
school would be complete wtihout one.
President McKenney, the new man, is
from Wisconsin. Just why it was nec-
essary to get a president from Wis-
consin is not known, but the gentle-
man is evidently living up to the repu-
tation of that state. He is giving a fine
exhibition of plain and fancy insurg-
ing. He has instituted a great wave
of social reform.
In a public announcement to the
students, the new head declared that
there must be no more entertainment
in living rooms, and that 'there must
be no more public dance patronage.
Of course, it's. nicer outdoors this
summer, and it's too warm to dance
now; but next winter? Then there
were some typical old blue-laws laid
down. Men are advised not to smoke,
and both women and men are advised
to avoid card playing. In other words,
the normal is undergoing a sudden
evolution into a mixture of an old
Ladies' Home and a denominational
Female Seminary of the early '80's.
A council of war has been called for
this afternoon at the home of Dean
Fuller, and "invitations" have been
issued to all who keep roomers. Just
what new measures will be laid down
is unknown, but the possibility of
compelling all Michigan students to
wear goggles with concave lenses to
distort the features of the fair resi-
dents, has been foreseen. It is also
rumored that rigid traffic regulations
