STERLING LAB. AT YALE IS DEDIGATED Leading Chemists Speak--Pres, Angell Accepts for University New Haven, April 4.~The Sterling Chemistry Laboratory, the greatest building of its kind in the United States, was dedicated this morning in tha presence of the American Chemi- cal Society, the trustees under the will of John W, Sterling, and the au- thorities of Yale President Angell Aceepts George H, Church, of New York city, acting for the Sterling trustees, presented the laboratory to Yale President James R. Angell in his speech of acceptance sald: “On behal? of Yale University, 1 gratefully accept this superb monument to the love and devotion which John W, Sterling bore his alma mater. On this spot gen- eration after generation of eager vouth will be taught to recognize, obey, and direct to man's needs the fundamental laws of nature, Here the ablest minds will delve continually into nature's secrets, unlocking her treasures for the increasing happiness of all mankind. Industry and art, agri- culture and commerce medicine and engineering, will be the constant bene- ficiaries of the labor here expended. And best perhaps of all will be the ever more penetrating insight into the marvelous composition of the great universe in which we live. In every contribution which is here made to learning and human welfare. Mr. Sterling will have a share and to him and to you, sir, the representatives of his faithful trustees, under whose careful guidance this great gift has been administered, we record our en- during gratitude.” President Angell then mentioned briefly Yale's eminent chemists and the donors who have made possible chemical work here, notably Albert E. Kent and his son. ‘Willlam Kent of California. At the close of his address he turned building over to President Edward C. Franklin of the American Chemical Society, who made a short speech or‘ greeting. Address of the Day Edgar F. Smith, former provost of the University of Pennsylania, and past-president of the American Chem- ical Society, delivered the address of | the day on *“The History of Chemistry in America with Special Reference to JYale.” He traced the development of Chemistry from the making of glass at Jamestown in 1603 through the studies in ores made by John Win- throp, first governor of Connecticut, | and the researches of FEzra Stiles, | president of Yale, 1778-1795, and her first promoter of chemistry. Of Stiles ' Dr. Smith said: “In existing records| it is noted, among other things, that | Stiles repeated Priestley’s experiments on fixed air; that he impregnated wa- ter with it, thereby making artificial ‘Spa water"."” | Silliman Eulogized | Mr. Smith then eulogized Benjamin Silliman the Elder, first professor of chemistry at Yale, who began teach- ing in 1804, “The possibilities of the | oxyhydrogen flame were constantly in the thought of Silliman,” said the speaker, "and the very first pneuma- tic trough, including Hare's blowpipe, was constructed by Silliman for the laboratory of Yale College in 1803. In later years he wrote: ‘The fusion and combustion and complete dissipation of platinum, gold, silver, nickel, cobalt and most of the metals, and the fu- sion of the principal earths and of their more refractory compounds have been made familiar and easy class ex- periments of every course of chemis- try in Yale college for years. ® * * Silliman began his teaching career in a subterranean lecture room fitted up for his liboratory, which was fifteen or sixteen feet below the surface of the groudn. It was inconvenient it was glomy, but there he courageously worked for fifteen years. There he analyzed minerals and meteorites, and invented and perfected apparatus for demonstration purposes in chemistry and physics. * * * He proved a most inspiring teacher, and founded in 1818 that splendid medium of circulating the scientific work of his colleagues and himself— the American Journal of 8cience, now in its 105th year; and further, he was prominent in the es- tablishment of many Yale activities, flourishing at this moment: the art gallery, the astronomical observatory, the Medical school and the Sheffield School of Science. * * * The story of his laboratory would make a good prelude to the history of university ed- ucation in this country as distinguish- ed from collegiate. * * * It is not to the insplrational teaching of Silliman that American science is indebted for Dana, world-renowned geologist and mineralogist; Brush, whose exhaus- tive mineralogical chemical studies are authoritative everywhere; John- son, pioneer leader in chemistry ap- plied to agriculture; Willard Gibbs, first among physical chemists to mod- ern times; T.

Kidded by Girl, New York New York, April 4—In a crowded H7th street, just off TWifth avenue, Henry Borak, a butcher, vesterday {shot and seriously wounded Miss Wil- | belmina Greenstein, a dressmaker, who he sald had spurned his love after he had made a ‘fool of himself" over her. Borak waited for the young woman to leave the dressmaking shop for lunch. He walked several paces with her, then shouting, drew a pis- tol. Pedestrians screamed and scat- tered and a traffic policeman darted toward Borak. As the policeman grasped his arm, Borak fired, the shot striking Miss Greenstein in the neck. Borak made an attempt to shoot him- self, but was overpowered. CA TRAIN WRECK Germans Speed Nine Trains, Without Engineers, Into Occupied Territory Paris, April 4.—Imitating the methods of the Irish republicans, the Germans successively dispatched nine trains without engineers from Fried- richsfeld in uroccupied Germany in the direction of Wesel, says a Krefeld telegram to the Journal. The eighth train ran into the seventh on the Lippe bridge with the result that 70 cars were derailed. The correspondent says that the ob- ject of the plan was to bottle up the Wesel station, an important railroad center. Three persons suspected of having a share in the plot have been arrested.
