NOTE AND COMMENT SIR WILLIAM RAMSAY of London, whose experiments with radium have resulted in the discovery of what he feels forced to regard as transmutation, has accepted President Wheeler's invitation to come from England to lecture in the next summer session of the University of California, from June 27 to August 7. Sir William, who is one of the most distinguished living chemists, will lecture on the most important problem of present-day chemistry—the phenomena of radio-activity, which have thrown doubt on so many old theories as to the permanency of the elements and the essential nature of matter. He will discuss, also, the gases of the air, a field in which he has long stood at the border line. He is himself the discoverer of a number of gases in the air whose existence had never before been suspected. Argon, discovered in conjunction with Lord Rayleigh, was the first of these, and later Sir William added to the list Neon, Krypton, and Xenon, all new atmospheric elements. He is the discoverer as well of the element of helium, whose relation with radium is so mysterious and surprising. SIR WILLIAM RAMSAY has been professor of chemistry in University College, London, since 1887. Scotch by birth, he was educated in Glascoresponding decrease in competition from that source. VALUABLE seeds and plants, whose introduction to California should mean much to the successful growers, is now ready for distribution by the University of California agricultural experiment station. These include winter wheats from Russia, Central Asia and Hungary, and barley for brewing. Other plants offered for distribution are the seeds of the casuarinas or "she oaks" of Australia, which are highly useful not only for ornamental purposes, but for cabinet timber and fuel. The university is also prepared to supply vineyardists with desirable grapes, including port and sherry varieties in the wine grapes and several new varieties of table grapes. GEN. J. FRANKLIN BELL, commander at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., has been called to Washington. The call has more or less to do with matters connected with the general staff college, it is admitted by officers of the general staff to be for the purpose of consulting with the officials regarding a probable campaign against Colombia should that country continue the movement of troops toward the isthmus. It was intimated that matters had reached the point where troops might be moved at any time, which would seem to indicate that the department is in possession of information, the nature of which justifies actual preparations for the movement of United States troops toward Riverside. Rufus' Farewell Hop... By RUBY DOUGLAS Copyright, 1905, by T. C. McClure Rufus, or, to give him his title coupled with the name bestowed upon him by his sponsors in baptism, Cadet Lieutenant James Woodward Sims, U. S. N. was in love. That it was an attack of cadet love his classmates emphatically denied. A Annapolis the accepted proverb is "cadet love is akin to calf love," and they could not detect symptoms of the latter malady in Rufus. The fact that he was in love was evinced when Reardon, his roommate came suddenly upon the young man in a reverde of which the inside boards of his locker door seemed to be the object. Reardon coughed and otherwise made his presence known. If Rufus had been caught in the act of scaling the wall he could not have exhibited a more guilty expression. For the first time in their acquaintance Reardon saw the big lieutenant blush like a schoolgirl. His color rivaled the suburn of his hair, from which he derived his sobriquet. A photograph of a girl hung on the inner side of the locker door. The usual array of athletes, family portraits or footlight favorites was absent. This picture alone adorned the space. Reardon looked at the picture for a minute. "Studying girlology, Rufus?" he asked to break the awkward silence. "Looks like it, doesn't it?" Rufus' embarrassment was evident. "It needs study, old man. A fellow must study it carefully, and even then be often 'flunks' when the test comes." "This species needs it," admitted Ru SIR WILLIAM RAMSAY has been professor of chemistry in University College, London, since 1887. Scotch by birth, he was educated in Glasgow University and at Tubingen. He was in the department of chemistry of Glasgow from 1874 to 1880; in 1880 he was appointed professor of chemistry in University College, Bristol; and from 1881 to 1887 he was principal of that institution. The highest scientific honors have been showered upon him from all parts of the world. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, a Fellow of the Chemical Society, an officer of the Legion of Honor, a corresponding member of the Institute of France, an honorary member of the Royal Academies of Ireland, Berlin, Bohemia, Holland, Turin, Roumania and Sweden, of the Academies of Geneva, Frankfort and Mexico, of the German Chemical Society, of the Pharmaceutical Society and of the Philosophical Societies of Manchester, Philadelphia and Rotterdam, and he has received the degrees of LL. D., D. Sc. and Ph. D. The Florida orange market is emerging from conditions of demoralization which have been so discouraging to all handlers of the fruit in New York this season. The domestic product has not alone suffered from the effect of the excessive competition of Jamaica fruit, supplemented by receipts from Porto Rico and Mexico, but has in itself afforded very good reason for the unsatisfactory conditions surrounding the trade in it. The crop was a heavy one—arrivals in New York for the season to date amounting to 171,664 boxes, against 84,026 for the corresponding period last year—and it has suffered in quality and condition through severe storms in the growing sections during autumn. As a consequence, a very considerable percentage of the fruit arriving in the metropolis has been in bad order. While the recent receipts have shown improvement in this respect, there is still a great deal of complaint heard in the trade concerning the percentage of rot in the fruit now going forward. While the weather conditioned on Argon discovered in conjunction with Lord Rayleigh, was the first of these, and later Sir William added to the list Neon, Krypton, and Xenon, all new atmospheric elements.

D., D. Sc. and Ph. D. THE United States grand jury at Omaha which has been investigating postoffice bribery cases and the illegal fencing of government lands in western Nebraska, last week made a partial report to the court returning twenty-two indictments. One is against former Senator Elliott Lowe, charging bribery in connection with the appointment of a postmaster at Alma, Nebraska, ten are against ranchmen charging illegal fencing, and the other were Indian cases, mostly of a minor character. The foreman of the jury stated to the court that it would later have a supplementary report, and it is stated that this addition will include several more indictments of prominent ranchmen, and also one against the former state official who is charged with disposing of a considerable amount of government military supplies without making a report of the disposition of the money. THE indictment against former State Senator Lowe contained two counts, and charges conspiracy to violate section 781 of the revised statutes by conspiracy to bribe Senator Charles H. Dietrich by acting as intermediary in the payment of $400 in consideration of which J. B. Billings, who at the time of the alleged transaction was postmaster at Alma, Neb., was to receive the recommendation by the senator for reappointment. One of the counts charges the payment of $100 and the other $900. The evidence on which Lowe was indicted is said to have been given by J. B. Billings former postmaster at Alma. It was to the effect that when he applied to Senator Dietrich for appointment he was told that State Senator Lowe had been given the privilege of naming the postmaster at Alma, and that a recommendation from Lowe would receive his (Senator ers of the general staff to be for the purpose of consulting with the officials regarding a probable campaign against Colombia should that country continue the movement of troops toward the isthmus. It was intimated that matters had reached the point where troops might be moved at any time, which would seem to indicate that the department is in possession of information, the nature of which justifies actual preparations for the movement of United States troops toward Panama. Although the fact would not be disclosed, the presumption is that, in the event of troops being sent, Gen. Bell will be put in command.

I understand, old man. It's a bit rough on a fellow. She may explain later." Reardon felt awkward in the role sympathizer. It was such a foreign element in his relation with Rufus. "There's one little thread of possibility in some nonsense which has passed between us that might explain matters to me; but, oh, it is such an absurd, such an utterly impossible reason, that I would not suggest it to her." Rufus was silent. Should be put into words the foolish little matter which had been weighing upon his mind? Reardon looked at him expectantly. "You know. Reardon how we follows always joke and laugh about the necessity of naval officers marrying money. You realize that on every occasion we give vent to the time worn declaration that we must have a girl with capital. I like the rest of you have done it, and—well. Bess was qualified in that direction though it never occurred to me at the time. "Recently her father met with reverses—not serious, you understand—but oh, hang it, don't you see? She might have taken all that nonsense seriously," finished Rufus. He did not look up at Reardon. And Reardon did just the wrong thing at that moment. He laughed. It all seemed so far out of the limits of possibility. "Forgive me, Rufus," he said, putting out his hand. "but I could not help it. Cheer up. And I say, Rufus, don't you think perhaps overstudy has affected your head?" he said significantly indicating his head. Rufus smiled in spite of himself and grasped his roommate's hand. "Perhaps," he said, closing the locker It has suffered in quality and condition through severe storms in the growing sections during autumn. As a consequence, a very considerable percentage of the fruit arriving in the metropolis has been in bad order. While the recent receipts have shown improvement in this respect, there is still a great deal of complaint heard in the trade concerning the percentage of rot in the fruit now going forward. While the weather conditions are held to be responsible in no small degree for this, it is contended in some quarters that it might be obviated to an appreciable extent by observing greater care in packing at primary shipping points. Although the New York market is liberally supplied with Florida oranges, of which a considerable quantity is poor in quality, there has recently developed a better tone, which is based partly upon increasing demand, but mainly upon the fact of practical cessation of shipments of Jamaica fruit and a commendation by the senator for reappointment. One of the counts charges the payment of $100 and the other $800. The evidence on which Lowe was indicted is said to have been given by J. B. Billings former postmaster at Alma. It was to the effect that when he applied to Senator Dietrich for appointment he was told that State Senator Lowe had been given the privilege of naming the postmaster at Alma, and that a recommendation from Lowe would receive his (Senator Dietrich) endorsement. Billings further testified, according to published reports, that he paid Lowe $400 and later J.C. Mitchell was appointed to succeed him. Billings testified that the $400 was returned to him with the statement that Mitchell had been notified of his paying a larger sum of money. Spain will not participate in the St. Louis Exposition. This decision was reached at a cabinet council, the reason given being that there would not be sufficient time to complete preparations.

Reardon, looking on, thought he detected a twinkle in his hostess' eyes. She was unusually frivolous, be thought; but, then, it was the end of the term. "You may only thank me by permitting me to escort you as a chaperon." Rufus was nothing if not gallant. But when Rufus was again in his quarters he felt less pleased over the responsibility he had assumed for the evening. What an effort he would have to make to be even civil to the strange young person. The chaperon had not yet made her appearance after the introduction. She had been summoned to the telephone or something. Cadet Lieutenant Sims was doing unmilitary things with his arms and saying anything but the platitudes he would be expected to utter on first acquaintance with a pretty young woman. "It's only a little joke of mine, and Mrs. Butler helped me out," Bess was saying in strangely smothered tones. "I knew what fun it would be to see you when you came here for the strange girl and found me. Yes, I'll admit it was the fact of papa's losing a little money that suggested it all. I could not resist it. You had your little joke; I had mine." "But yours was cruel, wasn't it—just a little, dear? You"—Rufus stopped suddenly, and Bess became interested in a large painting of the lieutenant commander. "You seem to be getting acquainted very quickly," laughed Mrs. Butler in the doorway. "But our endets have a reputation in that direction." CHANGING ONE'S NAME. The Method Is a Rather Costly One in Great Britain. Many people change their names IRELAND'S ANIMALS. Species of Frogs and Toads Are Found in the Green Isle. It is not correct to say that there are no frogs or toads in Ireland, though it is very remarkable that the common toad is not found there. The natterjack toad is a native of Kerry, though it does not appear to be found elsewhere. It is an example of the mania which some people have for meddling with nature that a Dr. Gulithers in 1699 took the trouble to procure frogs' spawn from England, since which time they have multiplied in Ireland. But the common lizard is found in many parts of the island. The slowworm is not. Though the common toad and till recent times the frog were not found in Ireland, it is worth remembering that the English reptiles and batrachisms are very local in their distribution. The natterjack toad is only found in certain counties. The edible frog was formerly only found in Foulmire Fen, in Cambridgeshire, and the sand lizard is most capricious in the choice of a home. The "beautiful green lacertæ" which Gilbert White saw on the sunny banks near Farnham are to be found there still, the males being of the green color, and also near Bournemouth and in Dorsetshire beyond Poole Harbor. Yet there are many suitable places where none are seen, and then they reappear again on some sandhills on the coast of Lancashire, near Southport. On the other hand, the absence of many species in Ireland which are or were commonly found in the larger island can only be explained on the supposition that they never reached the country. Among these are the wildcat, the polecat and the weasel. Yet the marten was always plentiful on the other side of St. George's channel, and stoats abound in the west. Five of the fourteen species of bat found in England have not been taken in Ireland, neither is the common shrew found CHANGING ONE'S NAME. The Method Is a Rather Costly One in Great Britain. Many people change their names without asking permission from any one or paying any fees whatever. This is certainly the simplest way of getting rid of a name you do not appreciate, but it is apt to prove expensive. For instance, such a course is strictly illegal, and the government could step in at any time and demand the payment of a heavy fine and, furthermore, if the individual who changed his name without consulting anybody happened to come in for a large sum of money unexpectedly the authorities would decline to recognize his claim. If he had failed to pay the fees due to the heralds' college for assuming a name not given in baptism. There are two ways of changing your name, and they are both rather costly. One method is to have a private act of parliament passed for your benefit. This course is generally followed only by peers and people whom money is no object, for it costs £750. This nearly all goes in fees to minor officials for bringing your case before the legislature, inasmuch as the actual passing of the bill costs practically nothing. And the only advantage you will gain from this expensive way of going to work is that inquiry will not be made into your past history, which by the other alternative are unavoidable. The usual method adopted for legally changing the name is somewhat tedious, if less costly, and you must have very substantial reasons for so doing or your claim will not be allowed. In for instance, you inherit property which makes it conditional that you change your name you can do so on payment of about £50 in fees. In the first place you must communicate with the home secretary, who, if he considers your claim valid, will refer you to the heralds' college and the king of arms. These officials will make full inquiries into your history and satisfy themselves beyond question that your reason for wishing to make the change is in every way legitimate. This done, they will again communicate with the home secretary who will lay your claim before the king, for he alone has power to authorize the change being made. Eventually, after some months of waiting, you will be informed by the heralds' college that his majesty has approve of your claim and the change of name is published in a remote corner of London Gazette. Finally it is worthy of mention that no one can hold a public appointment under government who has change his name without the consent of taking, however brilliant may have been his services to the country. The reason for this is rather curious. The man given you at your baptism is in theory there are many suitable places where none are seen, and then reappear again on some sandhills on the coast of Lancashire, near Southport. On the other hand, the absence of many species in Ireland which are or were commonly found in the larger island can only be explained on the supposition that they never reached the country. Among these are the wildcat, the polecat and the weasel. Yet the marten was always plentiful on the other side of St. George's channel, and stotts abound in the west. Five of the fourteen species of bat found in England have not been taken in Ireland, neither is the common shrew found there or the water shrew or the mole, though the last is found in Anglesey. Only six of the fifteen British rodents are found in Ireland, and of these one, the squirrel, was probably introduced. Neither is the roe deer indigenous. In support of the general theory that the immigration of the English fauna was difficult in the earlier periods and subsequently checked altogether may be cited the analogous instance of the Isle of Man. There, as in Ireland, there are no moles, no snakes and no tones—London Spectator. The Valor of Private Howell. During the Indian mutiny, says a London journal, it was sometimes in battle almost impossible to tell our loyal native allies from the revolted enemy. At the relief of Lucknow Private Howell was near a loyal native regiment that had, through too great impetuosity and misconception of orders, got to a position where it was mistaken for the enemy, and the whole advance of the British army, amid the smoke, poured into it an awful fire, killing great numbers of men. At this moment Howell, who saw that the men exposed were paralyzed with astonishment and fear, rushed forward some thirty yards in advance of their line and throwing up his left hand warningly, waved his helmet at the point of his musket with his right. Hundreds of bullets from his own comrades whizzed past him, two of them cutting his right arm, but the daring deed served his purpose; for the British officers saw what was intended. No sooner had the "Cease fire!" sounded than the men, to be the moment after again in the throes of battle, sent up a magnificent cheer for Howell.
