Why use Pond's Extract?Why not something else ?Because-

DR. J. J. THOMAS says: "It is incomparably supe-rior to any extract of Hamamelis I have ever used."

DR. O. G. RANDALL says: "Nothing can equalPond's Extract. 1 have tested others, and yours isfour times as strong as the best."

DR. J C. MITCHIE says: "Pond's Extractof Hama-melis Virginica is the only reliable article I have found."

DR. H. K. WEILER says: "The difference betweenPond's Extract and so-called Witch Hazel is the dif-ference between a cent and a dollar."

DR. H. F. MERRILL says: "It is far superior to anyI have used in strength and purity."

DR. R. J. HARRISON says: "I have never foundany extract equal to Pond's."

DR. POWELL says: "Hereafter I shall use no otherthan Pond's Extract."

And numerous others of similar purport.

No frofrietary article on the market is somuch imposed upon as Pond s Extract; but thepoor quality of Witch Hazel being manufact-ured, and the poor results obtained by using it,arefast educating thepublic to buy thegenuinearticle.-THE WESTERN DRUGGIST.

STATEMENT onthe question ofvivisection w a spublished I a s t

6 week by a com-, mittee of promi-

nent scientists,medical men, and

LIa K(.JL' ibiologists, includ-ing President Walker, President Eliot,Professor Weir Mitchell, Professor Sedgwick,Doctors Ernst and Minot, an:i thirty others.It sets forth very strongly the services ren-dered to medicine by vivisections, and quotesparticularly the development' of the germtheory of disease and certain methods oftreating abnormal pressure of the blood.The necessity of actual illustrations in theteaching of science is touched upon, and theill-judged excesses of so-called humanitariansdeplored.

The opponents of vivisection about Bostonhave indeed resorted to very questionablemethods. A paper has been circulated,headed as follows: "Vote for or againstVivisection. Please indicate your convictionsand opinions respecting the subjoined proposi-tions by making an X against each in the' Yes' and ' No' column. Should unre-strained vivisection be permitted? Shouldpainful vivisection be prohibited? Should allvivisection be prohibited?" A person, how-ever, wishing to vote " No" to all these ques-tions is not allowed to mark the paper at all.Aside from the impropriety of making anypublic appeal whatever on a scientific ques-tion, this is a singular way of obtaining anopinion " for or against." A hearing on thesubject of restriction of Vivisection, at whichthe Institute is represented, is now in progressat the State House, and it is to be hoped thatwhat the scientific circular calls " one of theleast wise of the agitations which beset mod-ern society" will be somewhat checked.

5HE first call for this year's Track Teamwill shortly be made, and the men will

commence to train at the Gym. Owing to thefact that some of our best athletes left collegelast June, it will be readily seen that the captainhas a hard task before him, that of mouldinga championship team out of new material.But this can be done if he receives the heartysupport of all Tech. men who believe that theIntercollegiate Meet should be won by M. I. T.this spring.

Two years ago a most glorious victory wasgained, and we have since won several teamraces from other colleges. rThe team of thisyear, with such an excellent record behind it,must not suffer defeat at Worcester. Let the

THE TE- CH

men turn out enthusiastically to help hold upTechnology's reputation, and our success intrack athletics next June is assured.

HE favorable attitude taken by the facultiesof many colleges toward athletic and

social events is not- always manifest at theInstitute. There seems a tendency in certainquarters not only to ignore such affairs, buteven to distinctly discourage participation inthem. Apparently it is felt that such enter-prises in outside affairs are likely to be detri-mental to the character of the work done bythe students interested in them, and that per-haps Technology may lose some of her prestigeas a place "where men go to work and not toplay." This view is hardly fair. Such in-terests need not interfere with regular work;and the men who are foremost on the teamand in the committee are often leaders aswell in the laboratory and the recitation room.

HE announcement in another column thatthe French and German societies have

joined in a vigorous effort to pay off the debtsincurred in giving last year's plays is an en-couraging one for two reasons. In the firstplace it is another step toward re-establishingthe credit of the Institute, something whichneeds to be accomplished very quickly. Inthis the Baseball Association has set an ex-cellent example. Secondly, THE TECH isglad to hail that spirit of fraternal co-operationbetween the societies the absence of which wasso conspicuous, and so costly, last year.

These debts are not the affairs of L'Avenirand Der Deutsche Verein alone. The playswere undertaken in the interest of the sociallife of Technology and of the success of JuniorWeek. It is the credit of Technology whichhas suffered; and every loyal student shouldbe prepared to help out the disinterested effortsof the men who have taken the matter in handand the Professors who have promised theirservices as lecturers. An individual appeal isto be made, we understand, to every student,

and, as the prices for tickets will be low, ageneral response must be obtained to bring thematter to a successful conclusion.

Walker Club Dinner.THE Walker Club held one of its custom-

ary dinners, at Vercellis's, on Thursday,February 27th. The guest of honor was Prof.E. S. Morse, well known about Boston as aZoologist and a collector of pottery. In thecourse of his ceramic work he has gatheredthe largest and most complete set of Japaneseware in the world. His sojourn in Japan gavehim an opportunity to study the people, and,.being connected with educational institutionsin Tokyo, he devoted his attention moreespecially to the student class. Of thisstudent class he gave, to the twenty memberspresent, a most instructive and interestingtalk. He emphasized the great contrastbetween the respect evinced by Japanesestudents for their Professors and the apparentflippancy of our college men. His state-ments regarding the frequency of theft andmurder greatly surprised all present on ac-count of the incredible scarcity of bothoffenses. Several interesting anecdotes wereexcellently related by the Professor, butowing to the departure of his train he wasobliged to leave before finishing his talk.Professor Bates continued where the guest hadleft off and gave several amusing incidentsof Japanese life.

Informal speaking on subjects of generalinterest consumed the remainder of the even-ing, which was, as expressed by all, the mostpleasant gathering of the year.

The Proposed Naval Engineering Bill.ONE of the most comprehensive measures

for the promotion of engineering educationthat has ever been presented, and one which,if it becomes a law, will bestow its benefits ona great number of scientific schools, colleges,and universities, is the bill now before Con-gress, which was introduced into the Senate

by Senator Squire, of Washington, and intothe House by Representative Wilson of NewYork. It provides, among other thipgs, forthe establishment of a course of instruction inNaval Engineering in the several scientificand technological schools of the United States,and the endowment and support of suchcourses, as well as the strengthening of thepresent engineering courses in all such institu-tions, that they may become fitted to meet therequirements of the naval engineering service.The benefits will not be confined to State in-stitutions, but may be extended to includeother colleges and universities.

To aid these schools in establishing andmaintaining a course of instruction in mechan-ical engineering which shall be satisfactoryto the National Government, the bill providesthat all such institutions which become benefi-ciaries of this federal aid may obtain, by loanor gift from the Government, such models,plans, or machinery, as can be spared withoutdetriment to the naval service; moreover, allprofessional and naval literature in the formof monographs and similar publications issuedby the Navy Department, shall be furnishedfree of cost to all students pursuing the ac-credited course. The Government will alsoassign professors of naval engineering to givetheoretical and practical instruction in the sub-jects concerned in that department, such in-struction to be under the supervision of an In-spector-General of Naval Engineering. Thebill also opens appointments to the EngineerCorps of the United States Navy to the grad-uates from the institutions which become bene-ficiaries under its provisions.

Although the object of this bill is primarilyto provide for the requirements of naval en-gineering, the entire engineering departmentof the various schools will be greatly strength-ened by the additions to the laboratories,the appointment of an engineer officer to thefaculty, and the opening to the graduatesof a desirable branch of the Governnmentservice.

Y. M. C. A. Notes.AT the annual business meeting of the M.

I. T. Y. M. C. A. reports of officers and com-mittees were read, and the following officerselected for the ensuing year: George I. Fiske,'97, President; Clancey M. Lewis, '99, VicePresident; Willard B. Nelson, '98, RecordingSecretary; Edward S. Chapin, '98, Cor-responding Secretary; and Charles M. Swan,'97, Treasurer.

The total membership of the Association isone hundred and thirteen, of which fifty-onewere added last term. Thirty of the latterare Ninety-nine men. Over one thousandhandbooks containing interesting and usefulinformation about the city and Institute havebeen distributed. Information bureaus wereconducted at the entrance examinations in Juneand September. Religious-census blankswere distributed with the handbooks, and ofthe three hundred and eight students who filledout blanks, one hundred and twelve are churchmembers. The first annual reception to newstudents was held near the opening of last term.The programme consisted of short addresses,music, and refreshments. The IntercollegiateSecretary, Mr. Robert E. Lewis, aided by thecollege associations of Boston, prepared a listof reliable lodging houses for the benefit ofstudents. This list proved very useful. It isthe purpose of the Association to act as awelcoming body to the incoming class, makethe new students acquainted with upper class-men, and locate them in reliable lodginghouses. The main thing to be considered thisterm is the starting of a Student House, wheremembers of the Association may room, andwhere there shall be a reading room for thebenefit of all students in the vicinity. -A"Social Bible Circle of Tech Men" met lastterm and took up a chronological outline ofthe life of Christ. This term a topical studyof the life of Christ will be taken up. Allwishing to join or obtain further informationwill please apply to Mr. H. I. Lord, '98, or Mr.RobertE. Lewis(office at Boston Y. M.

The Young Men's Christian Association hasbeen introduced into over five hundred institu-tions of higher learning, and has over thirtythousand members.- There are five collegeassociations in Boston besides our own, onein each of the three departments of BostonUniversity, one in Harvard Medical College,and one in the Massachusetts College ofPharmacy. The two latter have been recentlyformed, and the three former were organizedat the same time as ours.

The Freshman Dinner.

IN spite of the fact that the attendance atthe Freshman Dinner, held at Young's Hotelthe 2ISt of February, was lamentably smallin comparison wtih the size of the Class, theaffair was an unqualified success in everyway. The dinner was excellent, the servicegood, and the menus, which were cut in theshape of small ovals and tied together withthe class ribbons, neat and attractive; butwhat contributed most to the success of theoccasion and the enjoyment of everyone, wasthe spirit of general sociability which wasparticularly noticeable.

A novel feature of the evening was a shortvisit from the Class of '94, which was holdinga dinner in another part of the hotel, and ashort address on behalf of that Class by Mr.Price, who expressed its interest and friendlyfeelings toward the undergraduates.

When the dinner had been disposed of Mr.Hammond, as President, rose, and after anaddress in which he spoke of the many diffi-culties which are always met with in conduct-ing the affairs of a freshman class, introducedthe Toastmaster, Mr. Renshaw. After thank-ing the Class for the honor of presiding overthe " most successful dinner ever held by theClass of '99," the Toastmaster presented Mr.Mills, who spoke in an appreciative manneron the subject, "Technology." This 'wasfollowed by a solo, " Louisiana Lou," by Mr.Johnson, who sang as encores some new

verses on "I Maiden Ruth" and also " D'yeTink I am too Small." Mr. Stebbins thentold of "The Girl I Left Behind," afterwhich Mr. Winslow spoke on " Class Loy-alty," urging all present to take more interestin Class affairs. A number of humorousincidents connected with the studies of theFirst Year were related by Mr. Stone, whomentioned some of the things which are beinglearned " As the Days Roll by." -

For the benefit of those who were not wellI acquainted with the city, Mr. Vogt calledattention to some of the features of " Boston(by moonlight)." When the great applausewhich greeted the Mandolin and Guitar Selec-tions, rendered by Messrs. Lincoln, Addicks,and Sutliff, had subsided, Mr. Addicks spokeon "Grinds and Greenness," giving variousexamples of the latter. "Our FootballTeam" was ably responded to by Mr. Riotte,who told of the early discouragements andfinal triumphs of the team, and closed with afew words in behalf of baseball. "' 99," thelast subject on the list, was then treated byMr. Shumaker, who, after giving a brief his-tory of the Class and predicting its futuresuccess as a whole, created a great deal ofamusement by his prophecies in regard tosome of the most prominent members.

After the regular toasts of the evening hadbeen finished a piano solo was given by Mr.Vogt, a Swedish character sketch by Mr.Shumaker, and the Class was entertained withmusic, songs, stories, etc., by the variousmembers until after midnight.

"Hic Jacet."Trembling with cold the blood-red vines appear;

The soughing wind about them grieves.The heart of Summer must have broken here,

For-see-'tis life-blood spilld on the leaves.M.K.

I kissed her hand. She cried aloud," Yout do not know your place."To prove I saw my error

I quickly kissed her face.--Brunonian.

(OMMTUNIGAJFIOIS.

The Editors do not hold themnselves responsible for op in-ions expressed by corresjiondents.

To THE EDITORS OF THE TECH:-

I should like to endorse the very sensible letterpublished in your columns last week over the signa-ture "X, '97." The reproof of overstrong, politicalfeeling in the first part of the letter was excellent,though a shrewd observer might have surmised fromthe latter portion that the writer had, after all, a certainbias of his own. The state of tense, overwroughtfeeling which sees a plot and a ring in every group o.ffriends or companions is ridiculous. The leaders inInstitute affairs are in general, I think, fair and disin-terested, and from what I have seen of the class of'98, there is on every side an earnest desire to put thebest men in the best positions. Yet one half of theclass considers the other half to be made up of treach-erous vipers, plotting all sorts of villainy, and thecompliment is returned by the other half, in kind. Ithink that if some of the Fraternity and Non-Frater-nity men knew each other better, this foolish jealousywould be done away with, and a spirit of manly confi-dence would take its place.

MY ONE HOPE.

I asked my love one day if sheDid really, fondly care for me;Said she: "I cannot answer yes,I only love you second best."

One night I screwed my courage tight,And kissed her in the moonlight bright:Then, almost more than I could stand,She said the kiss was secondhand.

Yet, still my heart one fond hope keepsAnd thus to me it boldly speaks:She'll surely have to marry me,For the other will the best man be."

It is the onlyknown ten-cent Baltimore stamp. It has thename of James Buchanan printed on the facewith an X. below; and this constitutes thebit of paper which has suddenly risen in valuefrom a dollar to two thousand. Stamp col-lectors from far and near have vied witheach other for its possession, and the Profes-sor himself says that he has gained morenotoriety on account of his philatelic discov-ery than from all his literary work.

In the specifica-tions it was required that cement as good asthe best English Portland cement should beused. Tests were made with several Ameri-can and English cements. Various combina-tions of cement, sand, and water, were used,and the best proportion ascertained. Themost important result of the tests was theestablishment of the fact that the Americancements were superior to the English.

Professor Mendenhall, President of W.P. I., and formerly head of the UnitedStates Coast Survey, lectured before the So-ciety of Arts last Thursday on The Alaskaand Northeastern Boundary Line Disputeswith England. In his lecture he showed veryplainly that a long intimacy on his part withthe question of our boundaries has given hima wholesome love of justice, and a firm beliefin traditionary prerogatives where a boundaryline is concerned. Aside from his scientifictreatise, he manifested some personal opinionsin very positive statements that indicate howdeeply he has had the question at heart." Disputes about boundary lines should not al-ways be settled by arbitration, which too oftenresults in compromise rather than justice."The doctor holds that diplomats should not beallowed to take upon themselves the estab-lishment of lines which involve international

I

interests, but that men scientifically trained--for such work should be chosen; and, fur-thermore, that the treaty itself should becouched in such terms that intelligent peoplecan at any time understand exactly the pur-port of the agreement. The privilege of hear-ing such men as Dr. Mendenhall is one ofincalculable value to scientific students.

Alumni Notes.

The annual dinner of the Class of '94 washeld on Friday of last week.

The exhibit of the Institute has been re-turned from Atlanta in good order. It wasstored in the Massachusetts building, and con-sisted principally of photographs of the build-ings and books relating to the courses here.The attendant had some considerable difficul-ty in preventing the ' crackers" from carryingaway these photographs to decorate theirrooms. A great many graduates visited theexhibit, and the subject of a Southern AlumniAssociation, with headquarters at Atlanta was

broached.

��HE TB�CH 109

AN interesting development of the fever of honestywhich appears to have broken out in so virulent aform, is that which has caused the lion and the lambto lie down together,-videlicet, L'Avenir and DerDeutsche Verein to stretch out to each other the fra-ternal hand; although it will be favorably noticedthat the Lounger, with his customary regard for thefeelings -of others, has omitted to state in this casewhich society represents which animal.

Nothing, indeed, but the pressure of dire necessityand the importunity of heartless creditors could havebrought about this most desirable status qua. It willbe remembered that a somewhat pleasant excitementwas furnished last year during the second semester(credit for this word to be given to editorial in thelast number of THE TECH) by the antics of these rivalsand of Monsieur in particular, who must miss the joyof the fray which offered so excellent an opportunityfor revenging the wrongs of xI870. Perhaps for themembers of the societies such necessary excitement isnow furnished by the meetings of the joint committee,where must reign scenes of wild and terrific confusion,from the thundering reverberations of the Germanverbs, the short, sharp fire of French pronouns, andthe mezzo voce accompaniment of solid English cusswvords. "La Herr is dehors de 1' Ordnung! Votreplan mee semble sehr bien gewesen etre," and so on.

These polyglot rencontres doubtless prove sufficient-ly invigorating to the participants. But since they areperforming a worthy work, the Lounger has no com-ments to offer except those of hearty praise.

Careful readers of the Lounger's weekly disquisi-tions will corroborate him in his statement that he hasever regarded the Class of Ninety-eight as a perfectexamplar of shrinking modesty, persistent self-re-pression, and incurable diffidence. In view of theLounger's sentiments upon the subject, he may bepardoned for not expressing surprise at the bashfulness

evinced by various members of that class relative totheir candidacy for "Technique" positions. As far asdiligent inquiry has been able to disclose, there is notone man in the whole class who would think of ac-cepting a position on the "Technique" Board; notone, in fact, whose temerity extends so far as to per-mit him to even think of thinking of it.

If anyone will devote a moment's thought to thishe will discover that, if a strict construction be putupon these unanimous denials, it leads to the melan-choly but irresistible conclusion that since no man inNinety-eight is willing to accept an election to theBoard, the class must either go without a "Technique,"or secure the services of professional editors. Ofcourse this conclusion is based on a senseless premise,is developed on idiotic lines, and has about it an airof general mendacity. The Lounger would say, how-ever, as is wholly evident, that he has drawn the aboveconclusions merely to show Ninety-eight the remarka-ble result which would follow if only the statementsof her sober-minded members were interpreted withsome degree of strictness. The Lounger has no de-sire to see any aspirants going about placarded withloud announcements of their candidacy, but it hasseemed to him that a modest and truthful answer tothe question now uppermost in the Sophomore mindwould do much to diminish the confusion now sopainfully evident.

The mention of "Technique" reminds one, ofcourse, of that preliminary clash at the polls which isthe overture, so to speak, of the "Technique" drama,suggestive, perhaps, after the Wagnerian mode, of thedull rumbling of the printing press three acts furtheron. No one would insinuate that it is for the bestinterests of the book that its editors be chosen not inthe heat of a political campaign. Indeed, the morefervid the excitement which it is possible to stir up,so much the more brilliantly may the Annual be ex-pected to shine.

This, of course, is a most senseless view to take,but it is the one, nevertheless, with which the men ofNinety-eight seem to have opened the "Technique"campaign, for seldom before has the Lounger heardso many lugubrious tales of political woe.

The editor with gladsome cry,Exclaims, "My work is done."

The managerSwith weary sigh,Complains, " My work is dun."

A SERIOUS LOVE SPELL.

A young lady sings in our choirWhose hair is the color of phoir,

But her charm is unique,She has such a fair chique

It is really a charm to be nhoir.

Whenever she looks down the aisleShe gives me a beautiful smaisle;

And of all her beauxI am certain she sheaux

She likes me the best all the whaisle.

Last Sunday she wore a new sacque,Low-cut at the front and the bacque,

And a lovely bouquet,Worn in such a cute wuet

As only few girls have the knacque.

Some day, ere she grows too antique,In marriage her hand I shall sique;

If she's not a coquette,Which I'd greatly regruette,

She shall share my six dollars a wique.-L. A. W. Bulletin.

SLEEP.

Drop downward the curtainOf thy fair eyes,

We'll sail out underThe starry skies.

By shores that are lit withA moon that's low,

And down the dark riverOf Sleep we'll go,

Till we come to that wonderfulIsland green

No eye hath beheld, yetWhere all hath been.

'Tis the land of Dreams, theCountry ideal,

Where all seemeth joy, butNothing is real.

-Yale Courant.

He asked me how I liked his watch,To speak out and be candid;

I told the truth. He took offense:I said 'twas second-handed.

Of course it is, for then you canMake love again some other time.

Boston lfluseum.- i' The Gay Parisians,"with its exceedingly bright dialogue and ludicroussituations, is doing its share towards keeping upthe reputation of the Boston Museum for first-classentertainment. Such a succession of brilliantengagements is nothing short of phenomenal. Thisnew farce is of the liveliest description, and thehighest praise is due Manager Charles Frohman.

Tremont Theatre.--" His Excellency" isbeing presented at the Tremont to crowded houses.W. S. Gilbert's operas are always popular with thepeople. The cast includes several famous singersand dancers who have made great hits in bothLondon and New York.

Castle Square Theatre. - The ever-increasing attractions at the Castle Square Opera

House are the wonder of the town, and it is withgreat pleasure that we announce to the music-lovingTech boys that we are soon to hear that most de-lightful opera, " Mignon." A new singer has beenadded to the already strong cast, Miss FatmahDiaro, lately arrived from Paris and a pupil ofMarchesi.

Boston Theatre. - Kathryn Kidder is con-tinuing to charm crowded houses at the BostonTheatre with her delightful impersonation ofMadame Sans Gene. The play is a good historiccomedy, has been ably translated and is repletewith interest and sparkling dialogue.

Park Theatre.-Go to the Park Theatre andsee Neil Burgess in "The County Fair." Thispopular play is being presented positively for thelast time, as Mr. Burgess is to retire firom the stage,and this will be the last opportunity for seeing himin the role which he with other members of thecompany created.

Hollis Street Theatre. -The big musicalcomedy, "An Artist's Model," is bringing overflow-ing audiences to the Hollis Theatre. It is certainlyone of the brightest and merriest plays ever sentover from London. The cast includes a remarka-ble array of famous beauties. The play is a worthysuccessor to the " Gaiety Girl," with catchy music,gay dances and a gorgeous showing of magnificentcostumes.
