Science Club Lecture.
When the audience assembled last Friday night to hear Prof. Willis ton's lecture it was discovered that the lantern was in Salina. Some of the audience who were not used to the emergency methods of the Science Club left the room supposing there would be no exhibition. The greater part however, stayed knowing that the Science club never failed to hold a meeting even if the program did give out on the last minute, and they were not disappointed. Prof. Dyche entertained them with some of his inevitable hunting yarns, while Mr. Mayer with the assistance of a number of Science club boys got up a calcium light stereopican from fragments in a half a dozen different departments. The gas pipe was connected for hydrogen and a bag of Freshman oxygen happened to be on hand in the Chemistry building. About half past eight everything was in shape and the audience was invited into the lecture room.
Prof. Williston's lecture was a clear and accurate presentation of the difficult and obscure subject of the localization of cerebral function as understood by one who has himself done much toward the development of this most interesting but most complex part of human anatomy. The slides are largely from photographs of Prof. Williston's dissections and are far superior to book illustrations. The discoveries of the working of this machine of the mind, the brain, will modify not only our philosophy and psychology, but also our ordinary conceptions and conduct of life, when they become popularly known and understood.
Phi Beta Kappa.
The members of Phi Beta Kappa held their annual meeting Tuesday evening. The principal business before the meeting was the election of members from our graduating class.
As is the custom with this fraternity that four of the graduates having the best standing during their entire course were declared members. They were Misses Scott and Pugh, Messrs. Bowersock and Barber.
Prof. Snow informs us that a fifth member will be chosen before the close of the year.

The Trip to Europe.
How many of our readers are aware that the trip to Europe can be made almost as cheaply as one can take a summer tour of a few weeks in the summer vacation at home? There is at least one line of steamers that take passengers from New York to Glasgow, first class, for $40, or $75 the round trip; the accommodations are quite good, too. Glasgow is the gate of entrance. Thence to the noble, healthful, picturesque old city of Edinburgh the railway fare, second class, if one travels for cheapness, is only about seventy-five cents. In Edinburgh good plain living can be got for from$5 to $6 a week. The tourist might well spend a week or two here among the famous historic localities. If you have shopping, the cheapest and best bargains can be had in Edinburgh.
There are clean and comfortable private lodgings in London where one may live for not more than $10 a week. Meanwhile he can do no end of sightseeing. Railway fares and cabs about the city are thoroughly reasonable.
The traveler may spend two weeks in London. Then he can go to Paris, not by the most fashionable route from Dover to Calais, but by that which crosses the channel and enters France at Dieppe. It is no great hardship to do the railway part of this journey second class. The chief hardship would be in the mind of Americans whose pride would be hurt, but this is nothing in comparison to the privilege of making a journey to Europe which would otherwise be impossible. In mere railway travel the main object is to get over the ground, and the tourist is carried just as
rast in the second class car as in the first
class one.
In Paris the living is more expensive than in London; still the tourist who looked carefully about him and made inquiries beforehand, finding out just where he was going and how much it would cost, could manage to spend a week in Paris for less than it would cost him to be comfortable in New York. When the American has seen Edinburgh, London and Paris, he has seen much of the best part of Europe, and has delightful memories enough to carry with him for a lifetime. Three hundred dollars would probably pay for the whole journey here laid out. The American from the interior would have the malaria soaked out of him by the ocean trip, and his ideas broadened and brightened for all the rest of his life. Try it.
Alaska.
When in 1867 the United States bought Alaska, or Russian America, as it was then called, from the czar, paying $7,200,000 for it, few citizens of this country had any idea of the value of the purchase. Few have as yet, for the matter of that, though some light promises to illuminate the general mind, after this year, on the subject of our far away northwestern possession. Congress has appropriated $100,000 for the more complete exoration of our unknown land.
It may be that William H. Edward's prophetic vision saw with clearer eye than any of his fellow countrymen the greatness that was to be in what the papers of the time facetedly called a purchase of icebergs and an attempt to bull the ice market. It may be that the greatest of all Seward's many services to his country was the purchase of this very Alaska. Already the seal fisheries alone pay into the United States treasury annually enough to meet the interest on the purchase money.
Yet there may be other resources so rich and abundant in Alaska that the seal fisheries money will be small in comparison. Nobody knows for certain, to be sure, but there is reason to suppose that the interior of the country contains mines of wonderful richness. It is certain that the salmon and other fisheries are worth as much as the seal fisheries already are. Perhaps are many years salmon canning establishments will be as common on the banks of Alaskan rivers as they are now on our northwestern coast. At any time we may look for important additions to our national resources when the coming survey is finished.
It is entertaining, not to say instructive, to read the comments from northwestern papers after there has been a severe storm of wind and snow on the Atlantic coast, tearing down telegraph wires and blocking trains. These papers commiserate poor old New York and Boston sincerely for having such frightfully inclement weather, when in Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado and Montana the weather is balmy and sweet, with "an almost utter absence of severe weather," and violets blooming outdoors—almost.
