Notice to Subscribers.

Seminary.
At the Seminary last Friday, James Willis Gleed, of Topeka, read a paper on Law and Lawyers. He spoke of the popular impressions concerning the bar, and explained the reasons for such misconceptions. The work of lawyers carries them to the most inmost confidences of men, appealing to their selfishness in nearly all law cases. The cases are concerned mostly with property rights, which most closely affect people, and when one side wins a case the other always knows that it was won by fraud. Coming so closely in contact with the pulse of the people, the bar is an accurate index of the political and moral condition of a community.
There is no larger percent of unprincipled men among lawyers than among any other class. It is said a lawyer will take any case for the money. No man can tell the merits of a case before it is laid before a jury; a cause may be bad in law but good in morals; law is not always justice. Admission to the bar should be a stricter criterion of education and morality. People should know more about the common points of law, and should have a greater love of right. The virtue and force of law is in the hearts of the people.
Our weather prophet was round this week in his room busily engaged in "figuring up" the weather for next week. He said he had overheard a young lady say last Sunday that she was very much indebted to the JOURNAL for her peace of mind while listening to the sermon. She had started to church with an umbrella although the sun was shining very brightly at the time. During the sermon a sudden clouding up took place. Her unspeakable peace of mind—a new bonnet and a good umbrella—was worth more than the subscription price to the JOURNAL for years.
Weather Prophecy.
Predictions from April 22—29 inclusive: The storm dates for this period are 25, 26, and 27. The weather will be cloudy and rainy with intervals of sunshine. On one of the days the rain will be more constant. Saturday of this week, like Saturday of last, will be unsafe for picnics unless covered wagons are provided. On leaving, our prophet said, "By the way, that storm of last week was delayed a day or two on account of the wind. If it had not been for this, it would have been here on time. It had to come against the wind."
The class in physiological chemistry during the past week were engaged in very interesting laboratory work, the manufacture of pepsin. For the isolation of pepsin, the inner lining of the stomach of the hog is macerated in diluted hydrochloric acid and the resulting solution is precipitated by chloride of sodium. Two forms of pepsin are produced by slightly varying the operation, crystal and powdered pepsin. When purified, this albuminous substance is so powerful that one grain of it will cause the digestion of 2,000 grains of coagulated albumen or raw meat.
Prof. Sayre has been presented with a small vacuum pan by Mr. Walter Underwood, of Hutchinson, Kansas, to be used in his laboratory for the evaporation of solutions of organic compounds in vacuo. It is well known that organic compounds decompose readily at the temperature of the body, and any high temperature, such as boiling destroys them. With this vacuum pan boiling can be produced at a body temperature, and solutions of organic substances quickly evaporated with no fear of injury.
An American Naturalist in Mashonaland.
This is the heading of an article in a copy of the Mashonaland Times, recently received by Chancellor Snow. The paper is published in Mashonaland, South Africa. The naturalist referred to is William Harvey Brown, '88, who for the past three years has been in South Africa as the representative of the Smithsonian Institution and the National museum at Washington. The article gives an account of his work in Mashonaland and also a catalogue of the animals he has obtained, among which are the zebra, black rhinoceros, elephant, buffalo, guu and hippopotamus. He has also seen the white rhinoceros, an animal supposed to be extinct and for which European museums are offering $2,500.
Mr. Brown writes to Chancellor Snow that he has become acclimated to South Africa and no longer regards it as a prison. Salisbury, the town at which he is located, has a council, stores, saions, churches, a bank, libraries, a theatre and on the whole is very similar to an American village. He also states that in one hunting trip she killed forty-four head of large game, incuding one black rhinoceros, six buffaloes and eight eland. He does not say when he will return to America.
Athletics.
There will be an exhibition game here tween Washburn and K. U. Saturday, April 29.
K. U. expects great things of her ball nine this season, and if they do not want to disappoint us they must work, work, WORK.
Great interest is displayed in tennis this spring. The half dozen courts open to students are used every good afternoon.
The boating race this year promises to be the most exciting ever held here. Many crews have announced their intention of competing for the honors.
Next Saturday afternoon there will be an exhibition ball game between Baker and K. U. on McCook field. Every student should attend, and yell "Rock Chalk."
Much interest is being shown in gymnasium building just now. Yale has just completed one, Harvard, West Point and K. U. are each soon to have one, and Washburn is working hard for one.
As a great amount of praise had come to our ears concerning the splendid work done by our team in practice games we were surprised the other evening to see errors made in succession by every infielder of the "supposed" Varsity nine. Can we hope to win at that rate?
The first sophomore debates occurred Monday. The questions were: First, Should the War Department have control of Indian affairs? Second, Should the college course be shortened to three years? Although the idea of class debates is a new one here, several of the speakers acquitted themselves with credit. At the close of each debate a vote was taken on the merits of the arguments offered. The affirmative was given the decision in both cases.
The statutory in the main corridor is a feature of the University too sedum noticed. The statuses of the classical museum can scarcely be compared to these creations of modern art. In them we can almost suspect at times that we detect the signs of life. Resting majestically against the corners of the corridors they seem ever to be inviting the passer-by to examine the perfection of their workmanship.
