McCall, who for the last two weeks has been in the office of the Fort Scott and Memphis R. R.at Kansas City, is back again. He will remain here until the first vacancy occurs, when he will return.
It is to be regretted that one of the fraternities in the University was either so thoughtless or so inconsiderate as to have a party on the same night of the Twelfth Night entertainment. At such times all other University events should be declared off, or postponed until after the presentation is over, as one of the fraternities commendably did.

The United States government is thinking of establishing an experiment station for "The Weather Service" in the new physics building. There are only three of these stations in the United States, one at Harvard, Washington, D.C., and Rose Polytechnic School. In view of the small number of these stations we should consider ourselves very fortunate in having a station placed here. This is largely due to the efforts of Prof. Blake, who has received several favorable letters in regard to this matter.
Prof. Blake lectured in Kansas City before the Y.M.C.A. University Extension class last Friday evening. The subject was "The Manufacture of Light"—The Molecular Constitution of Matter; The Kinetic Theory of Gases; Temperature; Radiant Heat; Atomic Vibrations; Spectroscopic Research; Wave Theory of Light; Combustion; Incandescence; Ether Under Stress; High Potentials with Rapid Alternations; Elihu Thomson's Experiments; Nikola Tesla's late Researches; Light Without Heat; Langley's Experiments on Phosphorescence. Nikola Tesla's Researches are the latest, and scientists are spending much time on this method of lighting. No wires are used, but the air around the arc light is so heavily charged with electricity that a brilliant light is given off from the arc.
