AMUSEMENTS.
HOGAN'S ALLEY
The famous Yellow Kid, who is known from ocean to ocean as the favorite of Princes and Potentates, is to visit this city on Friday, February 24. He brings with him his court of popular personages from the famous "Hogan's Alley" and will dispense his royal favors in the shape of bon mots, witticisms, popular songs, humorous sketches, and a prolonged evening of hilarious enjoyment at the Bowersock's opera house.
Dancing.
Like the luscious Georgia watermelon and the Delaware peach, or Christmas and Fourth of July, the Sousa band tour is perennial, and as joyously anticipated as any of the others. As a matter of accuracy the big Sousa band moves twice a year, September to December, January to June. With an invariable summer season June to September, that laid out for last summer throughout Europe being rendered inadvisable by reason of the late war. The present is the fourteenth Sousa tour, which fact of itself is forceful evidence that the Sousa concerts are exactly the right thing; that they are just what the people of the whole country want, enjoy most, and patronize most freely. Sousa understands the people and they understand him, hence the combination of the two forces on any given occasion is sure to overflow theatre or hall. Sousa is ever consistent and bountiful in all things that go to make his concerts simply irresistable, but in no one thing is he more keen, alive and discriminating than that of presenting the very newest and best novelties of the time. For the present tour most attractive things are offered. The soloists are Miss Maud Davies, soprano: Miss Dorothy Hoyle, violinist and Arthur Pryor, trombone. The concert will occur at Bowersock opera house the 23rd.
Miss Eva Brown's second term of dancing begins February 11, at Pythian hall Telephone 210-2.
Professors Hunter and Barber addressed the Biological club last Tuesday. Prot. Hunter's subject was "The Habits and Life History of Spiders." This address connected nicely with one given some weeks ago by Dr. William on the "Habits of Wasps;" as the spiders furnish the food for the wasps. The speaker explained the structure of spiders, using many drawings and illustrations. He spoke of the different methods of rearing the young. The cocoons of one variety were shown which had been taken from a bush in a garden and which contained from one to three hundred eggs.
Biological Club.
The speaker continued: One spider will spin and fill from five to ten such cocoons. After the eggs are hatched the young are cannibalistic and the strong devour the weak. Spiders are divided into two classes, the wandering and the sedentary,
The latter spin the webs. These webs differ much from each other, and are carefully defined and classified and sometimes furnish the only data for distinguishing certain species. The spinnerets, the spider's organs for making the web, were explained by means of illustrations.
The professor continued: "The spider's method of starting a web is very interesting. If it wishes to start one in the corner of the room it will fasten the web on one side, raise its abdomen, spin out the web, as it walk around to the other side. When it has reached the place selected, it stretches the web and fastens it down. If it wishes to spin a web from one bush to another, or to the ground, it throws out a large amount of viscid fluid, and then runs out the web until it is fastened to some object by being blown against it. It then stretches and fastens it down, and then strengthens this by running over it and spinning a second web to it. Cases have been observed where a spider started a web thirty-three spaces from where it was fastened. Part of the web is made sticky so as to catch insects. On windy days the webs are made smaller. Young spiders make smaller webs than old ones.
The spider swathes its prey, wraps it up in a web, and then only sucks out the fluids, unless it is very hungry. Spiders sometimes store food by hanging it away. The trap-door spider was shown with some of its peculiar dwellings, the hole in the ground covered by a hinged hd. Bites of spiders are never fatal. The illustrations consisting of many pictures, drawings and preserved specimens added much to the interest of the address.
Prof. Barber spoke on "The Bacillus of Influenza or La Gripe." He said the earliest report of the disease is made in the twelfth century. The first appearance of the malady in America is noted in Massachusetts in 1627. Since then it has appeared twenty-two times. The great epidemic of 1889-90 seems to have originated in central Asia.
- The baccilli are of small size, they will not grow on the ordinary media, but seem to require human blood for development. They live for two or three weeks and are destroyed by drying, in two or three hours if dried rapidly, and in twenty-four hours if dried slowly. Animals are not affected by the baccilli as humans are except the monkey. A rabbit was not affected at all as a human.
In the discussion it was suggested that stimulants be used in the treatment of the disease. The various symptoms and effects were also mentioned.
LAW SCHOOL NOTES.
Hale Hamilton has entered the Junior class of the Law school.
The Seniors are feeling better since it has been reported that only three flunked in Torts.
The Seniors are taking work under Judge Benson.
The first moot court case was decided in favor of Von Dreeber and Lockwook for the defendant.
At the session of the moot court last Friday afternoon, Prof. Burdick handed down his decision in the case of the week previous and another case was tried which was argued by four members of the Senior class.
The Juniors are thinking of organizing a base ball team in the near future which judging from the material in the class will be a winner.
Read This.
If you see a Junior approach Prof. Burdick quite cautiously and say something to him in an undertone, you may rest assured that he is trying to find out whether or not he flunked in partnership.

Mr. Adrey of Kansas City, paid the shops a visit this week. Mr. Adrey has been, until very recently, in the employ of the Northeast Electric Railway at Kansas City; he is now interested in electrical work in Uah.
Mr. Flickinger is able to be around again after a severe attack of the Grippe.
Prof. Blake has purchased seven transformers of various makes. These will be used in the dynamo testing laboratory in connection with the work in alternating currents.
Laboratory work has begun in Prof. Palmer's testing rooms with an increased attendance over that of any previous year, sixteen being the present enrollment.
There was no shop work Monday or Tuesday on account of lack of coal.
The warm days are welcomed nowhere more than at the shops. It required a constant effort by those in charge to keep the pipss from freezing during the cold weather, aside from this trouble the warm air inside condensed on the cold ceilings and walls causing a continual dripping upon the tools and machines.
The new brass tool checks have been distributed among the students this week. They are neat and artistic in design; on one side is the student's number, on the other "Fowler Shops."
Several tons of machinery steel were received Tuesday; this makes seven tons in all, including tool steel and wrought iron, which have been stored in an iron rack, ingeniously devised by Mr. Ward, situated back of the machine room stairs.
Two small dynamos were received this week for the dynamo testing laboratory. These generators are of the well-known Crocker-Wheeler type-made by the company of the same name, with shops at Ampere, New Jersey. The machines are so arranged that they may be run as series, shunt or compound wound dynamos, two sets of extra field magnets being furnished for this purpose.
At Chapel.
Chapel services at the University are held each morning at 8:50 lasting 20 minutes. The chapel director Dr. Jas. Naisimph and the chapel committee invite the several pastors of Lawrence and members of the faculty to lead. Attendance on these exercises is optional.
During this week Prof. W. H. Carruth has given talks on the foundation principles of our form of government. He notes a tendency to discard the past and accept new and untried methods. Critics of the fathers say they were visionary, good and wise for their day and generation but our times demand more. It is not conclusive that because they erred that all their utterances are overthrown. They thought long and hard before writing these principles. "Yesterday knows all there is—now is occupied with searching trying to know."
