Three couples of the University young people left early last Saturday morning to take a stroll. Time passed quickly, and they found themselves walking the streets of Eudora before they thought of returning home. While discussing whether they should take the train or get a livery to take them back to Lawrence, the train had come and gone. Just then an old man drove up with a team of worn-out mules, as they had just been driven from Kansas City that day, and they at once offered him a goodly sum if he would bring them back to Lawrence, and back they came, slow but sure. The driver was exceeding pleased when they stopped him within a mile of town and said they would prefer to walk the rest of the way home.

OUR CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT.
Professor Bailey has lately received some fourteen large portraits of the most prominent chemists of the world. About eight of them adorn the walls of the lecture room and the rest are placed in the office and experiment rooms. They not only add to the beauty of the rooms but also give them an inspiring atmosphere.
In the lecture room one's attention is first called to the picture, almost life size, of Guy-Lassac, who made known to the world the laws of combination of gases by volume. This law of definite proportions was shown to hold good with respect to the volumes as well as the weights of the combining bodies.
Next we come to the picture of John Dalton. He was born in England in 1766. His father was a wool-weaver and was able to send young Dalton to college where he soon became an instructor in that institution. The fact of his being color-blind led him to investigate the cause and publish a book on color-blindness. Much of his work was upon rain and dew, and he discovered the law of expansion
