PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY NOTES,
Professor Bailey and Captain Haskell have returned from their tour, on which they have been investigating the chemical laboratories of the eastern Universities. They found no chemical building erected at as little cost as the one to be built here. Most of them were put up at a cost of over $100,000.
Onr. Krause, who has done much original work under the direction of Dr. Franklin for the last year and a half, probably go to Johns Hopkins next fall.
Prof. Blake will visit the University of Illinois for the purpose of becoming more familiar with the institution. The position as head of the Electrical Engineering department has practically been offered him, this position being separate from the chair of physics. The University of Illinois is one of the largest in the west having 1750 students, 200 instructors and fifteen buildings.
An Account of Jay Ramsey.
From the Girard News.
Until a few months ago Jay Kamesy was a resident of Girard, but on account of railroad changes the family then removed to Chanute.
Jay was a student at the Kansas State University at Lawrence, but came home to spend a few days during the Easter holidays. On Friday he went to Parson's lake, about three miles from Chanute, to hunt ducks. While on the bank by himself, between 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening, his gun was accidentally discharged, the load entering his left arm between the wrist and elbow, severing the arteries and badly shattering the bones. He managed to reach a couple of young men working in a field, who assisted him home.
We are informed that he said afterwards that he be did not know the accident happened, in fact, did not know he was shot until he tried to untie his horse to go home. He must have been, stunned and rendered unconscious for sometime.
Jay Ramsay was born in Meadville, Pa., April 1st, 1881, and came to Girard with his parents when a small boy, entering the public schools and graduating in 1898. He was a bright young man, companionable and pleasant, kind and obliging, and alh his schoolmates were his warm and devoted friends. He had no bad habits and was a most obedient child.
His remains were brought to Girard on a special car furnished by the Santa Fe Railroad Co., and taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Ennis. The funeral occurred at the Presbyterian church, Rev. R. Liddell officiating. The casket was covered with flowers, and the room was banked with them. They were tributes from schoolmates, in Girard and Lawrence, friends in this city and Chanute, railroad officials and employees, secret orders and others. Rarely, if ever, have so many tokens of friendship and love been seen at a funeral in this city.
There was a short prayer at the house and a most feeling sermon at the church, which was crowded to overflowing there being not even standing room in the main part of the edifice not the gallery. After the services the funeral cortege wended its way to the cemetery, the procession being over a mile in length.
The pall bearers were Fred Grund, Loyal Crawford, Leon Nigh, John Vincent, Guy Millington, and Robert Sullivan.
It was a sad Sunday for the parents and sisters, and a host of sympatizing friends sorrow with them. The loss was not theirs alone, for one of the most promising young men, who would have made his mark in the world, has been called away.

Y.M.C.A.NOTES.
The meeting on April 23d will be in charge of the engineering school. They have provided special music and will have some of their faculty make short talks. Mr. Rose, of Ann Arbor, will also deliver a short address. Students in all the schools are invited to attend.
The meeting last Sunday was in charge of Mr. Rose, of Ann Arbor. He made a very earnest and impressive appeal to the young Christian men. He made four points: First, systematic bible study; second, continued prayer; third, active service; fourth, being right with God.
His points were strong and well taken. His talk was thoroughly practical and sensible, just the kind that the fellows wanted because it applied to the most pressing needs and trials of student life.
Mr. Rose is spending most of his time while here in conferences and personal interviews which are resulting in much good.
At the close of the meeting last Sunday fifteen new names were presented for membership and the chairmen of committees were appointed. The number and kind of committees will give idea of the Y. M. C. A. field news.
The following is an incomplete list of the committee and their chairmen:
Finance—Lacey Simpson,

Messrs. Tangeman and Sutton entertain the executive committee, Saturday evening in honor of Mr. Rose of Ann Arbor.
On April 23rd the meeting will be under the direction of the Engineering school. No doubt the energy and talent which characterize this school, will make this one of the most interesting and successful meetings of the year.
Lieutenant Alford's Funeral.
Early Monday morning the body of Lieutenant Alford, killed in the battle of Caloocan, Feb. 7, arrived in Lawrence, and on Tuesday afternoon it was laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery.
The funeral services were conducted in Plymouth Congregational church, which was crowded to its utmost capacity, and even then was inadequate to contain the people who desired to enter. The church was blocked off for the occasion, and different sections assigned to the G. A. R., Bell's Military band, the Bar Association, and the University. Each of these organizations was present in a body except the University, as only 150 could be placed at the disposal of the students and faculty.
When the body arrived at the church, it it was borne through the aisle of the church—already crowded—to a place in front of the pulpit by six friends of the deceased: Lieutenant Seckler of the Twentieth Kansas, Dr. Harold McCrory, Prof. W. C. Stevens, Prof. M. W. Sterling, Mr. Raymond Hazen and Mr. W. B. Sutton. The pulpit was decorated with the national colors and with a profusion of beautiful flowers. The casket itself was draped with a flag and bore an officer's cap and sword and many beautiful floral tokens of the love of friends.
The address of Mr. Gleed was the principal one of the occasion. In it the speaker praised highly Lieutenant Alford's devotion to duty, his lofty patriotism, and his rugged honor and sturdy manhood. The address showed rare delicacy and thoughtfulness, and delivered as it was, so simply, plainly, and sympathetically, was very impressive.
The services at the church consisted of music by the Congregational church choir, prayer by Dr. Richard Cordley and addresses by Chancellor Snow of the Uni-
niversity and Mr. Willis Gleof of Toneka.
Chancellor Snow paid a tribute to Lieutenant Alford's all round development and stated that 'no more perfect speciman of young manhoodever went out from Kansas University.'
The services at the cemetery were brief. Bell's band played a dirge, Dr. Cordley read a few passages of Scripture, pronounced the benedication, and the friends and relatives of Lieutenant Allford turned
sadly from the grave, having given back to earth all that was mortal of that young hero.

CORPORAL HORKMAN'S WOUND.
The Bullet Ware Teken from His Head
After Being Located near X-Pen.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
Corporal David M. Horkmans, of CoH. Twentieth Kansas volunteer infantry, is one of the country's heroes. When the president called for fighting men he at once left his college at Lawrence, Kansas, where he was attending the School of Arts, enlisted, and was sent to Manila, where he played a gallant part.
On February 10, two days after Horkman celebrated his 23d birthday, came the storming of Caloocan. The Filipinos made a stand at the stone church, where they had three or four cannon mounted, and a fine old stone wall to fight behind. Just at the last charge, when within 200 yards of this stronghold of the enemy, Horkmans suddenly felt as if a redhot flatiron had been thrown against his head, and he fell to the ground behind a bamboo hut which had just been set on fire.
He had been hit by a heavy leaden butlet from a Remington. The ball entered on the right side of his nose, destroying the sight of his right eye, deadened the hearing of his right ear, and lodged in his head. He managed to get away from the burninghut, but soon fell from loss of blood and was carried back to one of the Manila hospitals.
There he remained for a month, receiving such treaiment as the comparatively rude arrangements and appliances of an army hospital afforded. He was shipped home on the Arizona, and reached the hospital a week ago last Thursday.
Whenever the battle slackened a little Horkman went out with his camera and took snapshots. He had been taking pictures a short time before the action in which he was so dreadfully wounded. Some of these interesting pictures have already been published.
He brought his pictures back with him, and he brought that bullet in his head. From it he suffered constant and excruciating pain. He deafened his ear, and worst of all, began to trouble his memory. His one thought in life was to have it removed. But they are busy at the Presidio hospitals and the appliances for difficult operations are not of the best, so Horkman was forced to carry his bullet and his sufferings.
Horkmans was taken in charge by Dr. R. Rosencrantz and removed to the Lane hospital. There Miss Fleischman, the X-ray expert photographed his head, the photograph showing that the bullet mushroom, [flattened and bent, had lodged at the base of the skull, leaving a small particle of the lead on the nasal bone.
"If you do not marry me, I shall hang myself," exclaimed the young man. "Wel if you do, please go down a block," was the cheerful response, "for I heard papa say he didn't want any hanging around here"-Ex.
Corporal Horkmans will be kept in the hospital until he is entirely well, the Examiner meeting all his expenses. He has his mind set on returning to Manila to go into business, saying;
Yesterday Dr. Rosencrantz, assisted by Dr. E. Calderon, the well-known Central American consul performed a thoroughly successful though more dangerous and difficult operation and removed the bullet.
"I wasn't sick a day there and never had a finer time in my life until I was shot. They can run the country down as much as they like, but I want to go back."
"I hope I make myself clear," said the water as it passed through the filter.—Harvard Lampoon.
That's the kind of stuff this hero is made ot.
