A letter was received recently by Professor Sayre from a man calling himself a "bio-chemist," asking if a certain fluid contained germs of scrofula. Professor Sayre remarked that this reminded him of a man who once sent a section of an organ of a deceased individual to a microscopist in order to ascertain the individual's name. Chemistry and Biology have made wonderful strides in the last century, but they have not yet reached the point which this demand indicates.
Fearless Fred.
At the end of this week "Fearless Fred" Funston will say a good bye to his friends—a good bye which may be a farewell. He goes from here to Alaska on an exploring expedition as special agent for the botanical division of the Department of Agriculture. From Lawrence he goes direct to Tacoma, Washington, where he will embark for Juneau, Alaska. From Juneau, accompanied by a party of miners, he will cross a field of snow and ice, by way of Chillcoot Pass, to the headwaters of the Yukon river.
After taking observations there, he will go down the Yukon to a small trading post in the British Northwest territory, just across the line from Alaska. At this trading post he will spend the coming summer. He will collect botanical specimens for the Department of Agriculture; take observations of the humidity of the atmosphere and the daily maximum and minimum temperatures; and learn something concerning the general topography of the country. At this post, in mid-summer, there are two months of perpetual day and in winter a corresponding period of night. During the winter the thermometer often registers seventy degrees below zero.
Early next spring before the ice breaks up, Mr. Funston, with only two Indians as guides, will start from this place due north to another trading post, on the Porcupine river, a tributary of the Yukon. This post is a considerable distance within in the Arctic Circle. Here he will stay for some time, taking observations similar to those taken at the preceding trading post.
And now the most perilous part of his journey begins. He leaves his Indian guides behind, and in a small boat saurs on a fifteen hundred mile trip down the Porcupine river to the Yukon, and thence down the Yukon to its mouth. The Yukon has never been completely traversed by man. Occasionally parts of it have been visited, but the entire river has never been seen. Even its course is not definitely known. Some atlasses represent it as situated in southern Alaska, while others make it flow almost wholly within the Arctic Circle. Its mouth is about the only portion of it accurately located.
The trip down the Yukon will be a most hazardous one. Mr. Funston will be floating down an unknown stream, all alone, surrounded by a wilderness whose stiltiness is broken only by an occasional growl of a bear, the wa-whoop of a hostile Indian, or the cracking of glaciers as they slowly move down the mountain side. The Yukon is the largest river emptying on the western coast of North America, and is very swift. Mr. Funston will have to be continually on the look out for rapids cr falls which may at any moment plunge him into eternity.
If he arrives safely at the mouth of the Yukon, he will be brought back to civilization by the United States revenue cutter Bear, which will be sent there to meet him, in September, 1895.
Commencement,
The faculty of the School of Pharmacy met last Monday night and arranged the program for the commencement exercises of the School. W.E Wilson will give an oration and A.W. Youngberg an essay. Besides this there will be an address on a pharmaceutical subject by an orator from abroad. The day for this program will probably be Monday of commencement week.
Go to McCurdy & Roberts for fine fruits.
