This means there will be brought together in California four of the first scientists in the world—Profc=sor Jacques Loeb, the biologist; Professor Hugo de Vries, the hotanist; Sir William Ramsay, the chemist, and Dr. Arrhenius, the physi ¢ist. Such a gathering of great think- ers and investigators could hardly bé secured elsewhere in the world and Californians next summer may have the opportunity of hearing these men in the lecture room and laboratory. Professor Arrhenius occupies the chair of general physics at the Univer- sity of Stockholm, Sweden, besides which he is at the head of the National Serum Institute of his country. His studying was conducted in part under Professor Ostwald of Leipzig, the same This st first achieved distinc- tion through the publication of his elec- trolytic disassociation theory in 1887, which in brief is an explanation of the manner in which electricity separates many substances from their elements. The problem had received attention from other investigators, but Professor Arrhenius was the first to propose a theory which would account for the results obtained by himself and others. A complete revolution was then worked, both in pure and applied chemistry, by the theory and it is now rapidly forcing its way into the sci- ences of biglogy and medicine. Professor ‘Arrhenius’ latest investiga- tions have been in the direction of the application of serum to the cure of dis- ease. "he results he has obtained in this field he offers to give to the world for the frst time in a course of lec- tures he will deliver at the summer session.

It will be the university’s memo- rial day, and the auniversary of the birthday of the late Professor Joseph Le Conte, in whoge honor the imemo- rial day was founded. This occasion will be particularly impressive, because there have passed away within the last year three men who were the asso- ciates of ‘“Professor Joe” for a long time—Professors Martin Kellogg, Feli= cien Paget and L.

She cried out for assistance and her assailant fled. Miss Cronin arose and went back to Park street, where she met two gentlemen and told them of what had happened. They con- sented to escort her to the Collischonn home after she said that she did not desire to report the affair to the police, dreading the notoriety it would bring her. When seen at the Collischonn dence Miss Cronin said: “I first noticed the man when I got off the car on Park street. When 1 started to walk along Santa Clara av nue he followed me, but said nothing that 1 heard. Near Pine street he grabbed my purse as I turned to see how close he was to me. He struck me in the face a number of times and knocked me down. Then I screamed and he took to his heels. He was a man below medium build with a dark, pointed beard, and wore glasses. He | walked with a stoop and wore a dark square-cut coat and black derby hat I think I would know him if I were to see him again. EVENTS IN SOCIETY ALAMEDA, Feb. 21.—City Trustee Charles J.

The conference of the Incorporated Sotiety of Musicians was held recently in the Athenaeum Hall, Glasgow. Dr. Daniel Ferguson Wilson of Glasgow, the chairman for the day, in an address on “Folk Music of Scotland” said it was on record that in the twelfth cen- tury the people sang songs and used for their delight the harp, the tabor and the choro. There was some differ- ence of opinion regarding the identity of the choro. Some thought it was the bagpipe, while others argued that it could not be, for they maintained that this instrument was not imported from England until at least a century after this date. Judging by appearance, he was disposed to think that the choro was the bagpipe, for it would have been a sorry sight for a historian to witness a Highlander wandering in his native straths and glens with a harp in his hand. Even although it was concede that the English introduc the bag- pipes to these isles, it must be admitted that whenever the Highlanders gained the acquaintance of the instrument they made the most of it. Dealing with the question why Scotland had not taken her place among the musical na- tions of the world, a recent writer had given it as his opinion that the bagpipe was the cause of her undeing, but it was more probable that the cause lay in the lack of environment. Scottish music, however, had at length ob- tained. an entree to the hest gociety, chiefly German, and great hopes were entertained for it. Dr. Cummings 6f Guildhall School, London, said he was sorry to hear that the Scots had got the bagpipe in its present state of perfection from Eng- land. For the sake of the sins for which they would be punished here- after he hoved that the English did not invent the bagpipe.—London Telegrapi. —_——— “We don't believe in coutagion,’ said the Christlan Science foilower “‘we don’t believe a nerson who be- lieves in "CthsHun Science can. take replied the man with a you certainly believe in taking the ‘long green.’ "—Yonkers el
