FIRST LECTURE ON HISTORY OF JEWS
DR. SAUDERS COMPARES JUDEA AND SAMARIA.
Three More Addresses in Same Series Will Be Delivered This Week.
Dr. Frank K. Sanders of Washburn College, in his talk Monday afternoon traced the history of Israel from the disruption of the kingdom to the fall of Samaria in 722. "The disruption of the kingdom came at the end of Solomon's reign in 937 B.C. For the next two hundred years the kingdom existed side by side, although often at war. The value of this opposition is shown in the fact that the kingdoms represented distinct tendencies. The northern division, Israel, stood for experimentation while the southern division Judea, stood for conservatism, Judea being compact and only one-third as large as Israel, was influenced by one large city, the conservative Jerusalem, which was filled with traditions. On the other hand Israel had a new king, practically new people, and no traditions.
"The curious way in which Israel availed itself of the opportunities offered is shown by the fact that the king was willing to lower the religious standards for political advantages. He married a Phoenician princess, who brought in the Baal religion. Baalism degraded the people and made them less fit for defending their territory. During the fourth dynasty after the disruption of the kingdom, the city of Samaria was built in a very strategic point. In a decade it became the great rival of the capital of the southern kingdom, Jerusalem. It was during this time that Elijah and his heir, Elisha, lived and championed loyalty to God as against Baalism and other religions. The height of Samara's power was now reached although it had to constantly fear the rising empire of Assyria on the North."
This was the first of Dr. Sanders' series of four lectures on "The Six Constructive Centuries of the Jewish Kingdom," giver daily at 3:30 in the lecture room of Snow hall. His subject for today is "From Hezekiah to the Fall of Jerusalem."
KANSAS CLUB BUSY.
K. U. Alumni Meet in Washing ton D. C.
The Kansas club of Washington, D. C., met for an informal dinner at the Brown Betty Inn, on Saturday evening, March 18th. The fact that Congress was not in session took several members away from Washington, but the meeting was thoroughly enjoyed by the two dozen or more who were able to attend.
The business session of the evening was devoted to the election of officers for the ensuing year. Mr. Burton McCullum was elected president in place of Mr. T. B Ford, retired. Mr. George H. Ahlborn was elected vice-president and Mrs. Winifred Everingham Bailey secretary.

$1600 MACHINE RECEIVED.
A Drilling and Boring Apparatus for Fowler Shops.
A machine costing sixteen hundred dollars was received at the Fowler shops last week by Superintendent Frank E. Ward. The machine is to be used for boring, drilling and milling. It weighs seventy-two hundred lbs. and was made by the Lucas Machine Tool Co., of Cleveland, O. A special electric motor will furnish the power when the machine will be ready for use in two weeks. The capacity of the shops will be greatly increased by this addition but the capacity of the machine will not be tested with the present apparatus. The only other university near here to have one of the "Precision" machines is Nebraska.
With this apparatus gas engines or motors such as those used in automobiles can be made. With the present equipment drilling of the required fineness could not be done. However, the new machine is adjusted so as to bore holes to the thousandth of an inch. Superintendent Ward plans to sell motors to students at cost, which will be about $25. Superintendent Ward plans to have the students make two of these motors each week.
This is the first special addition to the Fowler shops in the last twenty-two years. In 1898, when the old shop burned, the state replaced the tools that were destroyed, but no new equipment has been added by any special funds. However, the Fowler shops has built for its own use fourteen engine lathes and several other small machines.
INVENTION FOR ATHLETES.
Dr. Naismith Invents a Kymo-
graph for Runners.
An apparatus for keeping exact tab on a runner at all points of the race course has just been installed on the running track at Robinson gymnasium. The machine, which is the work of Dr. James Naismith, consists of small bamboo sticks, located along the track so as to divide the course into quarters. The sticks project over the track and are hit by the runner as he passes. The bamboo is connected to a make and break electrical machine which transmits the touch of the runner to a kymograph, which holds a lampblacked paper on which marks are made. A clock is used in connection with the kymograph.
"By this means," said Dr. Naismith, "we tell just where a man runs his best and where he gets his second wind. It will be of great value in training."
Professor Dockeray will also use the machine for obtaining data on fatigue, for his classes in experimental psychology.

Experience a Good Teacher.
A boy raised in Kansas would think the whole world is flat, if he didn't travel nor learn geography. A child born in a Dakota cyclone cellar may know nothing about Chicago "sky scrapers"—and the man who has never worn clothes tailored to order by Ed. V. Price & Co., doesn't know the difference between temporary and constant satisfaction at a modest price. Samuel G. Clarke, 910 Mass. St., will take your measure.
Do you know that lots near the University have doubled in value in the last two years? Do you know that some land near K. U. has sold and resold netting the owners over 500 per cent profit?
Do you know that both the University and the land adjoining are there forever and to stay and that hundreds invested in land adjoining K. U. will mean thousands as the University grows and the land adjoining the same increases in value? You can buy beautiful lots 50 ft front, within 412 feet of the University ground for $200 to $250.
