STILL MORE ELEMENTS
Neon and Argon Discoveries in Natural Gas.
Professor H. P. Cady and Professor D. P. McFarland have continued their research work since their discovery of helium in natural gas and have recently discovered also the related elements neon and argon in the gas. The argon was found in the Dexter gas and the neon in the local pipeline gas. The element neon is a little more scarce in the aggregate than the element helium but is present in a little larger quantity in the air. Neon is present in the air to the extent of one part of neon to 80,000 to 90,000 parts of air. Helium is found to the extent of one part of helium to 250,000 parts of air. Argon is a little more plentiful being present to the extent of one part of argon in 100 parts of air. Professors Cady and McFarland are still continuing their analysis of the gas to determine whether or not other members of this group are present.
This discovery of neon and argon in natural gas is of considerable interest since these elements are found in larger quantities than in the air, which has been heretofore the only source from when they could be obtained. Sufficient quantity of these elements for experimental purposes can thus be obtained much more readily than they could formerly when the air was the only source from which they could be obtained.
For a Bowling Affley.
A letter of inquiry came to the Eldridge House yesterday, asking about the terms that could be made for the use of Fraser Hall as subway alley. "I have several halts on annual" writes the inquirer, "but have been informed that Fraser Hall would be just the thing. Write as to terms, etc." Inquiry developed the fact that the man really wanted to know about Fraser Hall on Massachusetts street.

University by Writing.
The University of Kansas is surely well represented in the February number of the American magazine, which is partly owned by William Allen White, a former student of the University and its present one of the regents. William Hi Corruth has an excellent poem in this issue entitled, "It Is Glory Enough," and Harry Hi Kemp, the trump poet of U, has a full page poem entitled, "The Song of the Wireless Telegram."
Mr. Kemp has a poem accepted by the "Century" and one by "Everybody's" which will appear within the near future. A poem entitled "Oklahoma" is now in the hands of the New York Independent to be run when the new state adopts its constitution. Kemp is also writing for the Tupkea Capital and the Kansas City Star and by his pen is supporting himself at the University. He has just received commission from one of the Kansas City papers to come to that city and in the disgrace of a tramp to make a visit to all the charitable institutions in the city and among the slums to gather material for a series of feature stories.
Neophones and Phone Systems
The Sigma Xi society has arranged for a series of public scientific lectures during the winter and spring. The first or them will be a lecture on "Telephones and Telephone Systems," by Mr. C. S. Winston of Chicago on Monday evening, February 5 at 8 o'clock in University hall. The lecture will be popular in character and will be illustrated by landmine sides and other apparatus. Mr. Winston is one of the best known telephone engineers in the country and his lecture will be instructive and entertaining. The general public is invited.

BASKETBALL. MEN WORKING.
Will Play Ottawa Fargo S- Trip
torNebraska Later.
The basketball team is rounding into season on the first trip which will begin February 8, with Ottawa University at Ottawa. Manager Lansion is in Topeka today arranging for a game with Wasabarn College. Manhattan Ft. Riley and Nebraska will be played on this trip.
One thing is almost certain there will be no game in the KUygmosium as we visiting team will risk their lives among the palms and there is no room for spectators.
The team this year is not so strong as it was. last year but Captain Miller is doing all he can to develop a strong team. The men work well but the forwards are not up to the standard in team work during a game.
OKLAHOMA TEAM CHOSEN.
Butler and Lomax Will Debate
the Sioux.
The cryout for the Oklahoma debate was held in the lecture room of the Law building Monday evening.
The question debated was Resolved, "That the present policy of the United States in eximiting the Chinese should be maintained." The first two pincers were awarded to R. E. Butler and S. Lomax, with W. W. MacDaniels as first alderman. The other speakers in the contest were Charley Ise, John Ise, Gilhhs and Pezy. A friend of the University presented a Webster Office Dictionary to the one winning first place. In the layout for this debate Oklahoma has but two men entered.
Change Assessment Percentages
At the meeting of the Association of Student Enterprises Monday afternoon the managers of the musical clubs were asked to prepare financial statements or the receipts and expenditures of their organisations. If their portion of the student's assessment is found too small, steps will be taken to increase the amount for that purpose. It seems probable that the assessment may be raised for next year for various reasons. It is a little too low this year and another year the hospital association fee will probably be included. As soon as the various managers report the conditions in their clubs all these matters will be taken up in detail and the organisation perfected for another year.
