QUAINT COLLEGE LAWS. Mnlra PreoerlblziK the Drrsa of Rarward Students In Bygone Days. The curious laws regarding students’ stress which prevailed at Harvard up to •he middle of the last century are illus-fc-ated by two eighteenth century waistcoats which are among the collections •f the Boston Art museum. One was •worn by a member of the class of 1740 •nd the other by his son In 1784. The latter waistcoat is olive green in •olor. conforming to the college regulations. which required either blue gray, ylein black, "nankeen”—a kind of buff —or olive. The coat and breaches which originally went with it, as one may •end in the old time Harvard “Laws,” were blue gray. Freshmen of that date were allowed only plain buttonholes, sophomores leaped to the dignity of laving buttons on their cuffs, junior® might have inexpensive frogs to their buttonholes except that they might not Mave them on their cuff buttonholes, •nd the senior enjoyed frogs, button>oles and buttons complete. Seniors •nd juniors were permitted also to wear black Oxford gowns, such as are worn at graduation today, aud a “night gown,” or dressing gown, was permissible on certain unimportant occasions. It cost “not more than 10 sLiilJlngs" for every appearance of geld or •liver adornn at The rules of costume were changed, •f course, from time to time. In 1838, for example, the prescribed dress consisted of a black mixed coat, single breasted, “with n rolling cape square • t the end and with pocket flaps, the waist reaching to the natural waist fltb ’..pels of the same I.: -th,” It is explained that “biack mixed,” called also Oxford mined, was black with not more than one-twentieth nor less than •ne-twenty-tift!i part of white. The senior was allowed to support bis dignity with three "crow’s feet” of black •ilk cord o:i the lower part of bis coat •leeve. Two crow’s feet were permitted ’o tl>e junior, one to the sophomore and none at all to the freshman. The waisteo.it was of black mixed or of black or. of cotton or linen fabric, of white: single breasted. with a standing collar. The pantaloons were of black mixed. APHORISMS.

THE SCHLEY VERDICT Two Reports Returned By the Naval Court es Inquiry at Washington. ADMIRAL DEWEY STANDS ALONE President of the Court Sustains Admiral Scniey on All Material Points, While His Confreres Have Another Sort of Report to Make. Washington, Dec. 14. — Secretary Long last night gave out the report of the Schley court of inquiry. There are two reports. Admirals Benham and Ramsey concur in the first, which is signed by Admiral Dewey also as a matter of form. Admiral Dewey makes a separate report, although he agrees with the findings of facts subscribed to by the others. The majorny report condemns Admir- j al Schley on 11 points, while Admiral I Dewey sustains him in most particulars. The majority opinion finds in brief that Admiral Schley should have proceeded with the utmost dispatch to Cienfuegos and maintained a close blockade; that he should have en- j deavored to have obtained inferma- | tion of the Spanish squadron there; ■ that he should have proceeded to Santiago with dispatch; that he should not have made the retrograde movement; that he should have obeyed the department’s orders; that he should have endeavored to capture the Spanish vessels in Santiago; that he did not do his utmost to destroy the Colon; that he caused the squadron to lose distance in f'e of the Brooklyn; that he thereby caused the Texas to back; that be d'd injustice to Hodgson; that his conduct in the campaign was characterized by vacillation, dilatoriness and lack of enterprise; that iris official reports on the coal supply were misleading and inaccurate; that his conduct during the battle was self-possessed and that he encouraged in bls own person his subordinate officers and men. Admiral Dewey in his report says that the passage to Cienfuegos was made with all dispatch: that in view of his coal supply the blockade of Cienfuegos was effective; that he allowed t h ? Adula to enter Cienfuegos to get information; that his passage to Santiago was with as much d’spatch as possible, keeping the squadron together: that the blockade of Santiago was effective, and finally, that, he was the senior officer off Santiago, in absolute command, and entitled to the ere lit due for the glorious victory which resulted in the total destruction of the Spanish ships. It is said at the navy department that there will be no further proceedings in this celebrated case on the departments initiative. Secretary Long and Judge Advocate Lemly positively decline to discuss the findings in any phase. The court itself recommends no further proceedin-gs. owing to the lapse of time. When information of the findings of the court was conveyed to Admiral Schley he was seated in the public reception of a hotel, chatting with friends and several newspaper men. and showed no signs of nervousness over the outcome. When the conclusions of Admiral Dewey were read to him Admiral Schley showed his pleasure, and It was evident from his manner that he regarded the statement from Admiral Dewey as a vindication of his cause. Ho declined to make any statement concerning the court's findings, and. excusing himself from the little company which had gathered about him, he went to his apartments, where Mrs. Schley had been anxiously waiting to hear the court’s decision. Later the official copy was brought to the hotel from the navy department. Schley Objects. Washington, Dec. 17.—At the conference between Rear Admiral Schley and his counsel yesterday it was decided to ask Secretary Long to withhold his approval of the findings of the court of inquiry until such time as the admiral, through his counsel, can file an objection thereto. The request was delivered to Secretary I zing and be granted it without delay. IT IS APPROVED Favorable Report of Senate Committee On the Canal Bill.

THERMOMETER TU.BES. Proeeti of Their Manufacture nt t Jena. In Germany, A most interestins account is given in The Idler of the wonderful state aided industry at Jena where glass and lenses are made for scientists The industry has I wen built up by Professor Abbe aud Dr. Schott, and has throughout been conducted by scientis’s whose efforts have made Jena famous among i scientific men the world over One of the most picturesque features of the Jena glassworks is the great corridor where the thermometer tubes are blown and drawn.says a correspondent. We saw this glass in process of manufacture. A boy workman caught a bit of molten glass from the furnace on th? end of u blowpipe. It was hardly larger than a walnut, but by twirling and blowing and molding It grt w to the size of an orange, with the shape of an orange. More glass was then added, aud there was more rolling and blowing. and when the proper stage was reached the blowpipe was passed I quickly to the brawny master workman. He, in his turn, added glass, blowing from time to time with cheeks outpuffed until it seemed as though they must burst, and then rolling the great ball of glass on his iron kneading beard until it looked like a huge yellow gourd. Faster and faster he worked, keeping the ball always symmetrical aud yeti white hot. At logth he lifted the I glowing mass quickly in the air, and a second workman attached the blowpipe at the bottom. Then the two men ran in opposite directions, twirling the pipes and blowing lustily froja time to time. From a thick, partly yellow globe the glass thinned out quickly as the men ran apart, until it became a dull red tube not larger than a man's little finger and nearly 300 feet long. Sometimes In drawing these tubes one of the blowers would not only run the length of the corridor, but far outside on the bill. Wily Coatlaan. Casey—Costigan got his life insured for tin clnts.
