It is a current belief that college students as a rule pay more attention to athletics than to study.

Microscopic Photography.
Professor Haworth and Mr. Tucker have just finished nearly a hundred photographs of rocks and rock-sections. Some of them were taken from microscopic slides—a somewhat difficult operation requiring special apparatus. Microscopic photography has been but little developed in this country, yet they have succeeded remarkably well. The pictures are accurate and clear-cut reproductions of the originals.
They were taken from Missouri rocks and will be sent to the World's Fair, along with the Missouri exhibit. Professor Haworth will also use some of them to illustrate a monograph on the crystalline rocks of Missouri, which he will publish in the near future.
Prof. Blake's Discovery and Invention.
Professor Blake has been experiment ing with the telephone for some time in order to improve it if possible. His experiments have at last culminated in a discovery of great value. This discovery, however, is not one which will revolutionize society or even cause an appreciable change in the telephonic system, yet it will greatly modify the theory upon which the explanation of the action of the telephone is based, and make an important advance in the onward march of science.
His discovery is, that the sound produced by the telephone is not caused by the vibrating disc of the receiver, but results from molecular action in the cares of the coils of wire just back of the vibrating disc. This disc merely intensifies the sound. This theory being fully demonstrated, as it has been by repeated experiments, a new explanation of the action of the telephone will appear in future text books.
Professor Blake has also been at work on something of more practical importance, a loud speaking telephone. His experiments in this line also have been crowned with success. He has at last succeeded in perfecting a telephone attachment which will enable an audience to hear a lecture or concert many miles away. The first public test of this instrument will be made next Friday evening before the University extension society of Kansas City. The audience will be treated to a band concert given in St. Joseph, Mo.
A very large crowd attended the concert given last Friday night by the Mozart Symphony Club. The concert was a very good one. The flute playing of Mr. Kraushaar and the cornet solo of Mr. Hoch were excellent. The frequent encores which the club received showed that the audience was well pleased. Not one word of complaint was beard after the concert was over and this is something remarkable.
The Redpath Lecture Bureau has just written to Professor Templin that Dr. Gunsaulus has been obliged to cancel all of his engagements on account of being threatened with paralysis of the vocal organs. The Bureau offers to substitute for Dr. Gunsaulus, Major Dane, Du Cailin, Robert McLatire, Wendling, Robert Nourse or Ex Senator Ingalls. Prof. Templin, however, will make an effort to get Dr. Gunsaulus to fill his Lawrence engagement.
