Brown and White Vol. 2 no. 48

              the freshman base ball team thus far only one game has been arranged by the management of the class team no definite date has been decided upon for a game with the lafayette freshmen and the team will be like the 98 football team last fall unless the manager is more active there is good material in the class and the men are willing to come out but can do nothing without leaders lukens manager and cleary captain are trying for the varsity and little can be expected from them behind the bat the team will be weak though with practice gass and buckman should develop into good catchers shepp turner and ulrich can take care of the pitcher's box and cleary lukens and kiehl can hold their own in the infield sterrett is try ing for third base and it is im possible to say what showing he will make the outfield will probably be composed of shenk kissam and eeed the principal weakness lies in the batting as lukens is the only safe hitter on the team however with practice and coaching no doubt before the season is ended the men will make a fair showing for themselves to the class baseball schedule following is the schedule up to date : april 6 saturday — columbia col lege at south

at philadel phia electrical engineer ing society the electricals met tuesday evening in the physical laboratory and listened to two well prepared papers by mr klinck and blehl 95 the jablochkoff candle formed the subject of mr klinck's paper in opening he exhibited a specimen of the candle and ex plained its construction and action although now no longer in com mercial use this lamp was at one time the only electric light of low candle power there is no me chanism about the jablochkoff candle but there are many serious objections to it principally the fact that when once extinguished it will not ignite itself unsuccess ful attempts have been made to get around this when burning it makes almost as loud a humming noise as the alternator from which it is supplied a direct current cannot be used as the carbons would then be unequally consumed the positive carbon burning away about twice as fast as the negative mr klinck then showed some curves,taken by himself exhibiting alumni
