all baseball men will report at the gynasium every day begining today at 5.30 p m the drill will be a light one gotten up es pecially for base ball men and will commence promptly at 5.30 it is very

result of the satur day conference in easton concern ing the debate with lafayette and further arrangements for choosing our debaters will be made visit ors are cordially welcome and it is hoped that the recent refitting of the room will attract increasing numbers to the meetings new members are requested to hand in their names at once in order that they may go into the epitome the subject for the

as will undoubtedly encourage a large number of stu dents to attend the school during the coming summer as the work will be over by july 20 there will still remain nearly eight weeks of vacation the expense of living in the bethlehems will be less than at a hotel in another town while the material reduction in tuition is an important item three courses are offered in the summer school one

strong a disinfectant is obtained that sewage can be purified by it if a strong solution of common salt be heated under pressure and then electrolyzed a bleaching solution is obtained and this process is much cheaper than the ordinary method of using chloride of lime the purification of sugar is accomplished by decomposing the coloring matter by a current of electricity an application of electricity which has been brought to light in the past two or three months is its use for destroying bacteria it has been found that if a current be passed through a substance con taining a strong growth of the . bacilli of certain diseases the sub stance is partially sterilized the bacilli escaping destruction being not in sufficient quantity to produce fatal results and when this sub stance
