              on thursday evening last pro fessor chandler delivered the first of a series of lectures on the chem istry of every day life in the large lecture room in the chemical lab oratory which was filled some time before the lecture commenced professor chandler took as his subject the chemistry of illurni nants and in substance spoke as follows : artificial illumination is pro duced by the incandescence of solid particles in every case except that of the arc light which is produced by the passage of an electric current between two pieces of carbon this is easily demonstrated as lor in stance by the combustion of magne sium wire by bringing one end of the wire to an intense heat oxi dization of the wire takes place which produces heat enough to continue the combustion the in tensely heated particles of magne sium give the brilliant light seen to illustrate this in another way professor chandler used an oxy hydrogen blowpipe to heat a piece of steel a third experiment using the blowpipe on a piece of calcium was performed in each of these three lights the incandescence of solid matter has been the light giver a similar experiment to these can be made with an ordinary gas jet the flame from a gas jet con sists of three zones the inner one being the gas itself the next the incandescent particles of gas and third zone of combustion of the oxygen of the air with these incan descent particles to show this gas was drawn from the inner zone with a glass tube and ignited at the end this was followed by an exhibition of electrical incandes cence in the incandescent lamp the temperature of incandescence is 525 c i c at this temperature light begins to be radiated in ancient days little was known of lighting however the egyp tians are supposed to have had glass lamps later the greeks and komans had cup-shaped lamps with wicks hanging over the sides this same principle has likewise been employed by the esquimaux in 1784 the argand lamp having a draught through the centre of the wick was invented following this came the astral lamp with the oil in an annular ring the german student lamp cassell's lamp in 1803 with the oil raised to the wick by clock-work ; the moderator lamp in 1839 and par ker's hot oil lamp in 1856 to 1859 coal oil was distilled from coal and burned in a peculiar lamp built for this particular oil pine oil or rectified turpentine and burn ing fluid both explosive mixtures were also used to some extent in 1859 colonel drake of bethlehem discovered petroleum in pennsyl continued on fourth page football cadets 24 lehigh 10 the annual game between the naval cadets and lehigh resulted in the above score what might have been a fine exhibition of the sport was marred by many and in excusable fumbles on both sides at critical times the fumbling of the cadets was especially notice able in the first half three times in the first ten minutes of play they had rushed the ball within lehigh's 10-yard line only to lose it on fumbles brady being com pelled to fall on it once for a touch back in the second half a change of balls seemed to diminish the fumbling of the backs lehigh's fumbles though not so frequent were quite as costly and more in excusable the team work of the cadets both defensive and offensive bar ring the fumbling in the first half was far better and stronger than that of lehigh they frequently lined up and started the play with out waiting for the fullback to get in position they never failed to advance the ball the requisite num ber of yards while time and time again their line broke through and stopped lehigh's play the right end of their line seemed to be the only weak point van duyne skirting it for several long runs the playing of richardson and fischer was especially good the former making many hard tackles and advancing the ball whenever entrusted to him he has the make-up of a fine player and with out a doubt could play on any one of the larger teams the regular fullback henderson was pre vented from playing owing to an abscess on the arm woods who took his place was unaccustomed to the position but nevertheless was able to get his kicks oft in fine style on the whole their work was of that fast and snappy kind which makes football interesting the work of lehigh's team on the contrary was far below the standard at times they seemed demoralized due possibly to the number of crippled men van duyne and brady were the only ones that played in any kind of form lehigh might well imitate the cadets style of play and regain that fast and snappy play which characterized lehigh's teams of former years the details of the game were as follows : lehigh kicked off to navy's 10-yard line the ball being lost to lehigh who immediately lost it on fumbles to navy it was worked down the field and fumbled on lehigh's 5 yard line brady fall ing on it for a touchback after rushing it down several times powell finally carried it over no goal score 4-0 johnson replaced mccarthy at center on the kick-off woods fumbled and gass carried it over fugitt kicked goal score 4-6 lehigh scrub 16 ; kutztown normal o a team composed chiefly of scrub men left here saturday for kutz town where they played the strong team of the kutztown normal college the game was close and exciting and it was only by fast snappy work that the scrub came out victors by the score of 16 to 0 she grounds besides having the disadvantage of being situated on a hill were in poor condition and made long runs impossible or per haps the score would have been greater in the first half normal won the toss and took the up hill side their play was slow and heavy they resorted chiefly to the line-bucks and invariably lost when trying the ends daring the first half the play was about even neither side scoring and lehigh having perhaps most gains to their credit but in the second half the scrub seemed to take a brace and hard line bucking and good end running by carman and chamberlain quick ly carried the ball in the normal territory and before the half was up three touchdowns were scored by lehigh from which wooden kicked two pretty goals the line-up was as follows touchdowns carman 2 chamberlain goals from touchdowns wooden 2 . time of halves 20 minutes . lehigh university south bethlehem pa monday noyembek 16 1896 vol it 2sto 15 the brown and white powell again carried it over le high's line mccarthy kicked goal score 10-6 after several plays the ball went to lehigh van duyne made a run of fifty-five yards and finally carried it over no goal score at end of first half 10-10 in the second half the cadets played ?„ better game landis scor ing a touchdown soon after the be ginning of play goal was kicked score 16-10 ' after some hard fighting the i>all was carried back of lehigh s line and fumbled but shea fell on it for a touchdown no goal score 20-10 the final touchdown was scored by eichardson no goal score 24-10 the line-up was as follows : bef eree — mr iglehart umpire — paul dashiell linesmen — mr grant and mr lamar time — two thirty minute halves touchdowns — richardson powell 2 landis shea goals mccarthy 3 calendar wednesday nov 18 — meeting of lehigh university gun club phi gamma delta house 7 p m lacrosse practice at 3 p m thursday nov 19 — meeting of electrical engineering society physical laboratory 7 p m second of series of free public lectures on the " chemistry of every day life subject " chemistry of water by dr ullmann chemical labora tory 8 p m friday ' nov 20 meeting of the chess club christmas hall 7.30 p m saturday nov 21 lacrosse prac tice on athletic field 10.30 a m meeting of 98 epitome board 1.30 p m sunday _ nov 22 — meeting of christian association christ mas hall 6.15 p m subject am i planning without god james iv 13-15 tuesday nov 24 — meeting of mathematical club physical laboratory 7.15 p m subject " conic sections from cones wednesday nov 25 — meeting of agora christmas hall 7 p m thursday nov 26 thanksgiving day — football baltimore athletic club at baltimore saturday nov 28 — lacrosse prac tice on athletic field 10.30 a m sunday nov 29 — meeting of christian association christ mas hall at 6.15 p m subject a wrong conception of life notices the business manager of the brown and white will be in jim's room packer hall on thursday nov 19 to receive subscriptions the sophomore e e.s section iv who have had a recitation in english on thursdays at 10.30 o'clock will hereafter recite at 11.30 o'clock instead there will be a very important meeting of the lehigh university gun club at the phi gamma delta house wednesday nov 18 at 7 p m sharp all who have not yet attended are requested to b at this meeting there will be a lacrosse practice on wednesday afternoon of this week at 2.30 p m all should come out and make a lively game s c c at a meeting of the sophomore cotillion club held friday even ing the following were elected to membership : gannon home hornor keyes klein p l keed shriver straub williams professor chandler's lecture uxuxl&li jruoiijujj^o ujcujaujrn vjj*u.b vorkman centre wooden enstermacher . right guard dufour 1 . flartman left guard . gledhill fuller leidy right tackle schaefer ones left tackle hood mlich "^ end •• • • i :. sss smith left end slade gledhill tack righthalfbaok v fg itrause left halfback . chamberlain avis quarterback pfleuger v hartman fullback . shepp magee mccarthy left end brady rraham left tackle fugitt lalligan left guard senior ardy centre { ischer right guard becerra jandis right tackle g-unsolus ihea right end mason lsserson quarter back gass well capt left half back white tichardson . . right half back . van duyne vood full back holderness
