lassachusetts Institute of Technology,BOYLSTON STREET, BOSTON.

FRANCIS A. WALKER, President.

THIS school is devoted to the teaching of science, as applied to the various engineering professions; viz., civil,mechanical, mining, and electrical engineering, as vell as to architecture, chemistry, metallurgy, physics, and naturalhistory.

Besides the above distinctly professional courses, the Institute offers scientific courses of a less technicalcharacter, designed to give students a preparation for business callings. A four years' course in biology, chemistry, andphysics has been established, as preparatory to the professional study of medicine.

Modern languages are taught, so far as is needed for the ready and accurate reading of scientific works andperiodicals, and may be further pursued as a means of general training.

The constitutional and political history of England and the United States, political economy, and internationallaw are taught, in a measure, to the students of all regular courses, and may be further pursued as optional studies.

Applicants for admission to the Institute are examined in English grammar, geography, French, arithmetic,algebra, modern history, and geometry. A fuller statement of the requirements for admission will be found in the cata-logue, which will be sent, without charge, on application.

Graduates of colleges conferring degrees, who have the necessary qualifications for entering the third-year classin any of the regular courses of the Institute, will be so admitted, provisionally, on the presentation of their diplomas,and will be given opportunity to make up all deficiencies in professional subjects.

The feature of instruction which has been most largely developed in the school is laboratory training, shop-work,and field-practice, to supplement, to illustrate, and to emphasize the instruction of the recitation and lecture room.

Surveying-instruments are provided for field-work in civil and topographical engineering. Extensive shopshave been fitted up for the use of both hand and machine tools, and a laboratory of steam engineering has beenestablished as a part of the instruction in mechanical engineering. Several steam-boilers and steam-engines of vari-ous types are available for experiments and tests, as well as a large amount of special apparatus for measuring power,for gauging the flow of water, for tests of belting, etc. The laboratory of applied mechanics contains two testing-machines,-- one for ascertaining transverse strength, the other for tension and compression,-besides apparatus fortime-tests on timber, for tests of mortars and cements, for tests of shafting, etc. The department of mining engineeringand metallurgy has the use of laboratories in which the milling and smelting of lead, copper, silver, and other ores, ineconomic quantities, are regularly performed by the students themselves. The classes in architecture supplement thework of the drawing and designing rooms by the examination of structures completed or in course of erection, and bypractical experiment in Lhe laboratory of applied mechanics, testing the strength of materials and working out problemsin construction. The Kidder Chemical Laboratories consist of a laboratory for general chemistry (288 places); a lab-oratory for analytical chemistry (IoS places), together with a special room for volumetric analysis (20 places) and a bal-ance-room with 22 balances; a laboratory for organic chemistry (30 places); a laboratory for sanitary chemistry (I6places); a laboratory for industrial chemistry (i6 places); two convenient lecture-rooms; and a well-supplied libraryand reading-room. The laboratories are thoroughly equipped for the purposes of ordinary instruction, and they alsopossess excellent facilities for the promotion of original research. The Rogers Laboratory of Physics, the first labora-tory in which instruction was systematically given to classes by means of elementary physical measurements conductedby the students themselves, is well provided with the needful facilities for laboratory instruction in both elementary andadvanced technical physics, especially in the different branches of electrical engineering.

On the successful completion of any one of the four-year courses of the Institute, the degree of " Bachelor ofScience" will be conferred. The degrees of " Master of Science," " Ph.D.," and " Doctor of Science" are open to per-sons pursuing advanced studies and conducting original researches. Special students are allowed to enter special divis-ions of any of the courses, on giving evidence that they are prepared to pursue with advantage the studies selected.

The fee for tuition is $2oo a year. Besides this, $25 or $30 are needed for books and instruments. There areno separate laboratory fees; only payment for articles broken is required.

;:~l,~: " '-' the steps ofRogers at all spare moments during the day.Soon the tennis-ground will be in active use,and with the improvements which the executivecommittee intend to make, the courts ought tobe even better patronized than they were lastyear. And in speaking about tennis, we areled to think of the excellent record made byseveral Techs last summer in that line, one Techtaking second place, in the all-comers tourna-ment at Narragansett Pier, losing the last set toTaylor, who won first place. And we believethat he is not the only one who made a goodrecord for himself. Why could not a series ofgames be inaugurated between the Harvard

Tennis Club and ours. Although we could notconfidently expect a victory, yet we think thatour men could make a very good showing, evenif they were defeated. We do not think Har-vard would interpose any objections, and, at anyrate, it would be a matter well worth trying.We would very much like to see this mattertaken up by our Tennis Association, and givenat least some consideration.

CHE "Ladies' Evening" of the Society of'87 was so successful and unique, that the

other class societies would do well to follow theexample set them.

Co-education is not so firmly established hereas some of us could wish, and this opportunity ofenjoying the society of the other sex, which ourSeniors have inaugurated, served in a happyway to overcome the obstacles which usuallyintervene between the students, who dependtoo much upon their own companionship, andtheir fair sisters.

HE new athletic club in Boston has al-ready over I,ooo names on its list, and has

bought the lot on the corner of St. James Ave-nue and Exeter Streets, at the side of the Pub-lic Library lot, and in front of the Technologygymnasium. By this arrangement we shall havean edifying sight. On one side of ExeterStreet will stand the Athletic Club's large,handsome building, fitted with gymnasium,bowling-alleys, tennis courts, running-track,swimming-tank, reception-rooms; every atten-tion paid to healthfulness, convenience, and at-tractiveness, and all designed for perhaps menof leisure, mostly, who want a gymnasium

On the other side of the street,almost hid by the embankment, will lie crouched"our gym," a brick drill-shed, poorly lighted,with bad arrangements for ventilation, and justenough apparatus to give the place its name.And this is where seven hundred students areto take their exercise! Not where they are tofill up extra time, but where they are to fit thebody for a life's work, to fill out puny figures,and put themselves in condition to make themost of the lectures and laboratory. The con-trast will be an interesting object lesson, andmay touch some benevolent friend of the In-stitute.

g5 HE Class of '89 has inaugurated an excellentcustom in appointing a committee of five to

make selection of men for Techznique editors,these men to be afterward approved of by theclass. The manner in which the classes of'87and '88 elected their Technique editors is opento many objections, and these classes are to becongratulated for having selected men who wereso competent to carry out the affair which was in-trusted to their guidance. It is almost impos-sible for a large class to make the best possibleselection of men for such a position, as it cannottake into consideration every man's fitness forthe position. Some man is sure to be electedon account of his greater popularity, although hemay not really be as well qualified for the posi-tion as several other men. We do not wish tobe understood as saying that this has yetoccurred, but that it is liable to occur we thinkwill be conceded. The way '89 proposes to doseems to us to be a very just and reasonable way.The committee can easily look over all the menin the class who are qualified, through their pop-ularity and ability, for positions on the board,and, having decided on the best, report them tothe class, which can then elect or reject them, asit sees fit. In this way the class still elects themen, and gives a more careful consideration tothe subject than can possibly be given at a singleclass-meeting.

ET the last meeting of the Co-operative So-ciety a subject was brought up which had

better be consigned to oblivion, and never resur-rected. It was the idea of paying salaries to itsofficers. This introduction of mercenary rewardis new to us, and it is well that the members ofthe Co-op. denounced it so vigorously. Theservices of the men who direct and do the workin our various organizations have always beencheerfully performed, the only remunerationbeing the glory, when there was any, and theexperience, which, in many cases, is very valu-able. In thus sacrificing their time and energiesfor the promotion of our schemes, they show aspirit which cannot be too greatly commended;but if there was a money value set on theirefforts we should not feel the same toward them.It is true that at other colleges the men in manypositions receive " filthy lucre " for their services,the college papers, for instance, being run forprofit in many places; but if we can do without,we are much better off.

One of the greatest pleasures of college life isthe willingness with which we devote ourselvesto each other's interests; and this is the chiefdifference between ourselves and the outsideworld.

HE tennis association has been unfortunatethis spring in regard to weather, but the

executive committee promise that there will beno delay in getting the grounds in conditionwhen the weather permits. A heavy rollerwill be had if possible, and with the grounds intheir present soft condition it may be that theycan be brought down to a fair surface. Themessenger-boys have always made a thorough-fare of the place, and there are holes every-where. To prevent this trespassing and otherannoyances, it has been proposed that a wirenetting be put up on the Boylston Street side,provided the money can be had and permissionobtained. This would not only prevent furtherinjury to the grounds, but would improve ap-pearances by doing away with the slashed nets,

with their fluttering, ragged ends. At presentthe running expenses take most of the moneycoming from dues, and improvements can bemade but slowly. When necessities have beenattended to, the increased membership whichis sure to come will make it possible for theInstitute to have as good and as handsomelittle grounds as can be found anywhere.

E learn that the subscriptions for the Sen-ior ball are not coming in as rapidly as

the committee would wish to see. This, wethink, is a great pity, as such an affair ought tobe very well supported. It is a thing which wethink the Institute may well be proud of, thismark of respect to the graduating class, and itis one of the purely Institute customs whichshould not be allowed to become obsolete. Notthat it shows any sign of becoming so this year,but it would show a much better spirit if moremen joined in to help make the affair a success.So let every one brace up, and if he has notalready bought a ticket let him get one now.

Y,'HE Co-operative Society, has just enteredupon its second year, its past career having

been an unusually prosperous and encouragingone. The Society had up to April Ist, nearly6oo members, and many have found their mem-bership a source of great saving to them, whilethe tradesmen have been ready and anxious torenew their contracts.

There seems to be some tardiness with whichthe members are renewing their tickets; per-haps they are laboring under the mistaken im-pression that their old ones will serve themstill. New tickets of an entirely different colorhave been issued, and a sample has been sentto every tradesman, with a request that they becalled for when a student claims a discount, sothat the old tickets are entirely useless. Thereseems to be no reason why every student at the

Institute should not be a member of the Co-operative Society. Certainly every one doessome purchasing here, and the new lists of affili-ated tradesmen will show the merely casualobserver the variety of goods that may be ob-tained at discounts, varying from five to fortyper cent. Many of the students have saved be-tween fifteen and twenty-five dollars. Is notthis worth an annual membership fee of fiftycents ? Any member who purchases anythingof account in Boston, can easily save five dollarsor more, and yet a few have said that they didnot save anything last year. It certainly wasbecause they did not take the trouble to go tothose stores where discounts might have beenobtained.

About $IIo remains in the treasury of theSociety, and this will be devoted, as will eachyearly surplus hereafter, to the giving of one ortwo scholarships to needy and deserving stu-dents. Let every one join the Society and savehis money, and contribute a portion of that sav-ing in the form of a membership fee, to helpalong his fellow-students who find it a struggleto meet the heavy expenses of the Institutecourse.

6HE course of Emergency Lectures whichthe Civils have lately been having cannot

fail to be of great value to them. It often hap-pens that when in the field, some one of theparty more or less seriously injures himself, andnaturally looks for assistance to the engineer incharge of the party. If this individual hassome slight experience, and a common senseknowledge of what to do, such as one would getfrom these lectures, he will be able, if not en-tirely to relieve the man, at least to render hima temporary assistance, until competent medicalaid can be procured. We think it would havebeen a good idea if it could have been managedto give the other courses here these same lect-ures. It certainly seems as if it was as impor-tant for a Mechanical or Mining Engineer tohave this knowledge as for a Civil Engineer.

A Mountain Vista.

IT last! There was no doubt of it this time;it lay there before him, a misshapen

piece of brown stone quartz, interspersed withdull yellow metal. The stroke had sent his pickdeep into the yielding mass, and one strongwrench had laid the treasure at his feet.

How often, during the long, sleepless nights,he had pictured before him this self-same scene;in fancy he had seen the yellow gleam answerto the stroke of his sturdy pick, and in fancy hehad tossed his well-worn hat high in the air andshouted "Eureka! " And oh! how often hehad laid wonderful plans for the disposal of thisvisionary wealth, in which there always figured,as the center-piece, the face of the dear motherwaiting away off there in the East for her boy'sreturn.

But all that had been in the enthusiasm ofthe earlier days, when, in the first fever of ex-citement, he laid himself down at night withthe expectation that the morrow had the hoped-for luck in store. But the weary years 'hadcome and gone, and the luck never came. Themother way off in the little New Englandhome had wearied of waiting, and the chiefelement of his dreams was gone.

But he had toiled on in a blind, hopeless sortof way, drifting here, and there, and every-where, until at last, when long past the primeof manhood, he held within his grasp the prizewhich had so long, eluded him. He had driftedto this little place on the side of the great

mountain a month before, and had struck "paydirt " almost immediately. The first result wentfar beyond anything he had realized for years,and the old fever broke out with renewed en-ergy. Then followed days of overwork andsleepless nights, of conflicting hopes and fears,until nature asserted herself, and his healthbroke down under the strain.

Still, he had worked on as best he could, ea-gerly welcoming each day as the last of toil,and still had the prize eluded him, until he hadalmost given up in despair. And there it was,at last! There, exposed to his view, was theout-cropping "vein"; there, lying beside hismuddy pick and shovel, just as he had so oftenpictured it, was the first rich reward of the long,weary years of toil and waiting.

But where was the anticipated elation-theexpected joy ? How strange everything seemed!Even the landscape had an unfamiliar look; ob-jects seemed to swim around before his eyes,and strange, rushing noises from the mountaintorrent sounded in his ears.

With a quick, impatient gesture he raisedhis hand and brushed back the long, gray hairfrom his forehead.

"I'm only tired," he muttered; " I guess I'dbetter knock off for to-night;" and he arosewearily from the half kneeling posture intowhich he had fallen in the first excitement ofdiscovery. Slowly he gathered up pick, andshovel, and pan, and then stood for a moment asif in a dream, gazing away off across the valleyto where the setting sun barely tipped the blueline of the distant foot-hills.

HIow white and strange he looked as he stoodthere leaning on the long handle of his shovel;and as he turned to go, there was an expressionin his eyes that had never been there before.As he tottered up the trail his limbs trembledunder him, and he had scarcely taken threesteps before he staggered and fell. Slowly rais-ing himself again to a sitting posture he gazedabout, in a dazed sort of way for a moment, untilhis eyes rested on the nugget lying just as hehad left it; and as he gazed at it he broke intoa harsh, discordant laugh, that, had any heard

it, it must have made their blood run cold."Ha! ha !" he cried; "at last you are mine, myprecious gold--at last !" and rising he stag-gered to the lump, and taking it up in his armshe held it tight against his coat, while the tearscoursed down his wasted cheeks. Thus he heldit, crooning softly to himself the while, rockinghis body to and fro, until suddenly he threw itfrom him, and then laughed in a soft, gleefulway as he watched it roll slowly down the slope.Then he started after it, and soon overtook it."No, no!" he cried, as he once more caught itup, "you cannot escape me now, my preciousgold! You are mine--mine!" and repeatingthat first, harsh, discordant laugh till it echoedagain far up the mountain-side, he disappeareddown the trail.

II.

Just as the sun sank from view behind the dis-tant hills, a man might have been observed toslowly dismount from the back of a jaded mule,on one of the many ledges that intersperse thesteep trail over the Monterey Range. Care-lessly slinging the bridle-rein over the imachillasof the saddle, he raised his slouch hat and wipedthe perspiration from his face and brow. Hewas a man of medium height, with a swarthycomplexion and bushy hair. His costume wasa queer mixture of Mexican and miner,--a rough,red flannel shirt, and the broad-fringed trousersof the vaqteros. No arms were visible, but onehad only to look at the man to feel convincedthat such articles would be forthcoming fromsomewhere when needed. As he stood there,letting the cool breeze that had sprung up withthe going down of the sun fan his heated face,his eyes glided in a restless fashion from oneobject to another, till they rested on a thin, fitfulcolumn of smoke that was barely visible, in thedusk, rising above the tree-tops far up the slope.Long and intently he gazed at it, and as hewatched it a change came over the expressionof his face, a sinister light gleamed in his eyes,and the thin lips were tightly compressed; and,as he turned slowly away, there was a look ofdetermination in every feature. Deftly he un-

loosed and slipped the heavy Mexican saddlefrom the back of the mule, and after driving thelong, iron lariat-pin deep into the sod, he turned,and for a few moments stood looking thought-fully down at the twinkling lights far below inthe valley, as each moment they shone brighterthrough the gathering darkness. At last he turnedaway, and after examining the fastenings of hisbeast, he started at a brisk walk in a directionleading from the trail and toward the placewhere he had observed the column of smoke.He continued his way for an hour or more,threading through thick underbrush and overrocks and fallen trees, keeping his course witha steadiness that betokened familiarity with thelocality, until suddenly he emerged into a clear-ing, in the center of which stood a small cabin,through whose single window a feeble lightgleamed.

The traveler started toward the window as ifto look in, but before he reached it he seemedto change his mind; for, after hesitating a mo-ment, he stepped to the low, rough door andknocked, at the same time calling in a clear, deepvoice for admittance. But there was no responsefrom within, and, after waiting a moment, heknocked again, this time much louder, and therewas a shade of impatience in the tone in whichhe demanded, "Why don't ye answer in there?Are ye deef?" But the only answering soundwas the echo of his own voice in the surround-ing woods. With an angry oath he flung hiswhole weight against the door, which gave waywith a crash. A flood of light streamed throughthe opening full in his face, blinding him for themoment; but as his eyes became accustomed tothe light a strange scene met his view.

Directly opposite the door was a roughly-builtfire-place, in which a bright wood-fire burned,filling the small, dingy room with a soft, red glow.On the left, and in the corner, was a pile of bear-skins made into a crude sort of bed. To theright of the fire-place, and half in shadow, stooda small pine table, on which a tallow-dip burnedwith a feeble, flickering light. Behind the tablesat an old man, whose face, with its frame of longwhite hair and beard in the full light of the can-

With a rapid glance theeyes of the intruder took in the scant detail ofthe room until they fell on the face in the cor-ner; there they rested with a surprised,inquiringlook that gradually changed to one of appre-hension. The figure in the corner remainedmotionless, while a pair of gleaming eyes, thatseemed to burn their way to his very soul, restedfixedly on the stranger. Once he removed hisgaze for a moment, but, as if fascinated, his eyeswandered back again, and he stood as before,silent,--waiting.

For a few minutes nothing broke the silencebut the crackling of the hard wood in the fire-place; and then, with a shiver, as if shaking offsome dread feeling, the visitor spoke, but it was ina subdued tone, far different from that in whichhe had demanded admittance a short timebefore.

"Well, stranger, this here aint much of awelcome ter give a b'lated passenger, now, isit ? " and he paused as if for a reply; but as nonecame, he continued once more, uneasily shiftinghis gaze around the room, "I seed yer lightfrom the trail, and in coorse me and the nagmade fer it; but durn my boots," he added, "ifwe didn't hev ter do all the enwitin' ourselves.Now see here, mister," and he advanced a stepnearer, "yer know durn well there's no gittin'through ther pass to-night, an' so yer might aswell make the most outen it ye can. I'm goin'ter camp right here;" and he moved toward thetable, but stopped short.

The hitherto motionless figure in the cornerrose suddenly to its feet, revealing the long,lank figure of a man well along in years. Histhin, emaciated features worked convulsively,and his eyes fairly burned with the fury of amadman.

"Stop!" he shrieked; "stand back!" andleaning forward he thrust a long, bony fingeralmost in the face of the startled man, who in-voluntarily recoiled before it to the door. Sud-denly the old man bent low over the table, andgrasping something up in his arms he hugged ittightly against his ragged coat, and moaned,

"They cannot have it; they cannot have it; itis mine - all mine ! "

The man at the door started, gazed intentlyat the object in the madman's arms, and with anoath strode to the table.

Bending low, he set his dark, sinister eyesfull on the gleaming orbs of the other; and thus,with gaze fixed on one another, they stood,while their breaths came thick and fast.

Suddenly the intruder raised his arm; therewas a quick movement, and the bottle contain-ing the lighted candle struck the opposite wallwith a crash, and fell to the floor in a thousandpieces, leaving all enveloped in semi-darkness.At the same instant a shrill, mocking laugh rangout through the room, and the voice of the mad-man was heard calling, " Ha! ha! they did notget you, my precious gold-gold! Let themcome; let them-" The sentence was sud-denly cut short, and ended in a gurgling sound,as of some one choking.

For the next few minutes there were soundsof a struggle, which, hard and long at first, grad-ually grew spasmodic and faint, and finally theyceased altogether, and only a heavy, laboredbreathing broke the stillness.

Then there followed a slight noise, as someone rose with difficulty and groped around inthe darkness as if searching for something.

After awhile a light was struck and, as theblue flame of the sulphur gave way to the brightlight, it lighted up the dark face of the intruder.Lighting the candle, which he had found on thefloor, he stuck it in a chink in the wall, and,wiping the sweat from his face, he stood lookinglong and thoughtfully at the quiet form stretchedon the now cold hearthstone. At last, with animpatient gesture, he turned away, and crossingthe room, picked up the shining object whichhis victim had been so careful of.

"Gold," he exclaimed, "and enough for a for-tune," as he noted its weight. "Ha ! ha! I don'twonder the old fool hugged it," he added, glanc-ing in the direction of the fire-place. Placingthe candle on the table and drawing up the soli-tary stool in the cabin, he busied himself with acareful examination of the nugget.

Suddenly a thought seemed to strike him, for,rising, he glanced about the room till his eyesrested upon a rough cupboard in one corner.Advancing to it he opened it and peered in. Hisface lighted up with triumph as he drew forthtwo bulky buckskin bags and a pair of rusty bal-ances. Placing these upon the table and reseat-ing himself, he was soon absorbed in weighingout the gold-dust which he had rightly guessedthe bags to contain. Thus it was that he didnot see nor hear the form on the hearthstone asit lifted itself to a half-sitting posture, and passeda hand in a dazed sort of way over its head. Hedid not see those eyes light up with their oldfury as they rested upon him and his occupation.He did not hear the soft footfall approachingnearer and nearer to his chair.

" Gad! but that's a haul," he exclaimed, as hefinished weighing the last portion, and arose tostretch himself; "three thousand cool! Why,that will be just about right to get me safe intothe States, and once I'm there I'll quit this "But his sentence was cut short as a sharp, me-tallic click caught his ear, and turning quick asas a flash, made a wild clutch at the gleamingweapon of his opponent-but too late!

There was a deafening report, and with ashriek he fell headlong to the floor, and the nextinstant the body of the maniac sank, face down-ward, across his victim! The morning sunstreamed in through the open door, sheddingpeace and light upon the scene.

A Bit of History.

FOR a long time before the great strike of1897, the forces of upheaval had been

silently gathering. Men were uneasy-they knewnot why. Business was stagnant; the wheelsof commerce were blocked, and trade was at astandstill. A general feeling of suspense hungover the country like a black cloud, chilling alllegitimate industry, and darkening the wholeoutlook. Thousands of bread-winners were un-able to find work, and their enforced idlenessbegot in them a wild desperation.

On every street-corner could be heard gloomywhispers prophesying speedy ill to the republic.Many hard characters well known to the policeseemed collected in larger than usual numbersin New York and Boston. Collisions betweengangs of roughs and the police were of every-day occurrence. The worst elements of thepopulation, flowing back from the West, layready to spring at the throat of the Easterncapitalists.

The latter, all unconscious of their peril,busied themselves in passing resolutions to theeffect that American industries should be moreefficiently " protected." Great meetings wereheld, and vehement statements made that thisor the other political party was "ruining thenation." The best men of all classes spentthemselves in this child's play, while a blow atthe heart of the republic was rapidly preparing.

Swiftly and heavily fell the stroke. On theI7th of April, 1897, a strange and ominousdemand was made of the directors of the Bos-ton Consolidated Horse Railroad. A committeein behalf of the employees presented a requestin writing, stating that no work would be doneuntil the following concessions were made:

(I) That the hours of work should be re-duced to four per day.

(2) That no more than ten passengers becarried at any one time, since unnecessary laborwas incurred in collecting the fares of a largernumber.

(3) That no regular time-table be adoptedby the company, but that the men should beallowed to run as it seemed to them fit.

The directors at once rejected these remark-able propositions, and advertised for new hands.This was precisely what had been hoped andexpected by the whole anarchist portion of thecommunity. The news was flashed over thewires to men who had been waiting for just thisopportunity. Throughout New England thestrike was declared general. All laborers ofwhatsoever trade or occupation threw downtheir tools and refused to work. On the after-noon of the i8th, groups of idle men coveredBoston Common, in dark, sullen patches.

200 THE TOECH.

The tinder was soon touched. The firstedition of the Evening Rumzpzus contained thesewords: "Midas-eared Mammonism and idle Dil-ettantism must go / STRIKE TO-NIGHT! !" It

was a sign evidently agreed upon beforehand bythe leaders. Like magic the slums of theNorth End poured out their refuse, and theCommon was soon filled with a tumultuous,shouting mob. In the seething mass of mencould be seen a few figures, gliding hither andthither, issuing commands and distributingprinted directions.

The orderly element of the city was for amoment paralyzed. But very quickly, notwith-standing, came orders from several departmentsto the chief of police. It was then found thatthe wires communicating with the several sta-tions had been cut. In the midst of the con-fusion came the clang of fire-bells; a second,and then a third alarm! The firemen weresummoned to widely separated portions of thecity to fight dangerous fires. They encountered,also, enemies yet more inhuman than fire. Fromevery alleyway came a score of bullets, andfrom every house-top rained piles of stonesupon the heads of the courageous firemen. Cutoff on every side, it is estimated that hundredsof heroic men perished in that night of terror.To add to the horror of the time, it was foundthat the patrolmen in all out-of-the-way placeshad been shot down in cold blood by the anarch-ist sympathizers.

About nightfall a tremendous explosion shookthe city, and the State House crumbled into ashapeless heap of ruins. A few minutes later,and a cry arose among the surging crowd on theCommon and Public Gardens. The huge, inco-herent throng rolled down toward Common-wealth Avenue and Beacon Street, which it en-tered with the roar of a thousand demons.

It is needless to recount the deeds of darknessdone under cover of that single night. Sufficeit to say, that when the morning dawned thesplendid Back Bay section was no more.Blackened piles of brick and stone, with here andthere a mangled corpse, were all that remainedof that proud abode of wealth and culture.

It was a night long to be remembered in theannals of New England. In the early eveningtwilight the people of the nearest suburbs werestartled by riders bearing the frightful tidings.Church-bells were rung, and the citizens met toact on the situation. Without rifles, withoutammunition, strong men could only stand help-lessly by, and await further events.

As the night wore on, and fugitives fromBoston came with more definite news of thesacking and burning of a portion of the city, itwas felt that something must be done. Messen-gers were sent off in all directions to the neigh-boring country towns. Many a farmner wasaroused that night by the swift trampling of ahorse and the stirring words of a second PaulRevere. Old rifles that had done service inthe Rebellion were dragged to light, and againshouldered by men whose hearts were burningwith a mighty anger. In every little suburbanvillage men assembled in the public squares withcompressed lips and hardened muscles. As half-clothed women and children came fleeing fromthe burning city, with the murders of their fathersand husbands still trembling in their memories,there was many a whispered oath of revenge.In the tense excitement that prevailed hundredsof quiet, inoffensive laborers were hanged tothe nearest tree. Every one who had takenpart in the strike was dealt with most harshly.

In the heat of that eventful time the fact wasoverlooked that very few of the real working-men had joined in the outrages. It could notbe forgotten, however, that the great strike hadfurnished the occasion for this calamity, and allstrikers were looked upon as directly connectedwith the heavy blow that had fallen. The wholelaboring class was treated with the utmost se-verity during all this troublous time, and to thisday is regarded as an object of great suspicion.

In the early gray of the morning of the I9th

large bands of men, armed with guns of all sortsand sizes, were hurrying towards the New Eng-land metropolis. Communication by rail andtelephone was completely suspended. Everyplace acted by and for itself.

All this confusion and indecision favored the

well-calculated plans of the anarchists. Whenthe suburban citizens reached Boston, they foundthe streets empty and deserted. Not a manopposed their passage, not a hand was upliftedagainst them. They met other bands of citizen-militia from the adjoining towns, but there wasno sign of the rioters. There was much to do,however, in restoring order, and in re-assuringthe poor wretches who crept timidly out fromtheir hiding-places. The leaders were greatlyperplexed as to what should be done. The nuni-ber of available men was constantly increasing,but there was no enemy to be seen. Aboutnoon a man arrived in great haste at the head-quarters of General Thorax, an old veteran ofthe Civil War, and informed the General thatan enormous body of men, armed to the teeth,had met the citizens of Lexington while thelatter were on their way to Boston. Hewas the only Lexington man that had escapedalive.

The news spread rapidly through the camp,and served to deepen the gloom and anxiety onevery loyal man's heart. Nothing could bedone to pursue this well-armed force. "Mas-terly inaction" was the only course possible.

The rest of the story is too well-known toneed a repetition of the details. The Bostonrebels joined themselves to their friends fromthe other large cities of' Massachusetts andmarched to Springfield. At that place theywere soon reinforced by the New York anar-chists. The united forces now moved uponNew York City, but too late for success.

For, curious to say, the movement of theanarchists in Chicago and the other Westerncities had been crushed at its birth. The citi-zens were well armed, and were fully preparedfor such an emergency. Vigilance committeesexisted in every ward of Chicago, and nothingwas left to the city authorities, who, it was well-known, were in secret sympathy with the social-istic element. The feature of surprise had beenthe greatest aid to the success of the revolution-ists. When they met men as well armed asthemselves who felt their homes and families atstake, there was no doubt as to the result of the

contest. In a few days the great West hadstamped out every trace of anarchy.

On receipt of the appalling tidings from NewEngland, there was prompt action. In a shorttime an overwhelming force was concentratedat New York, and was preparing to marchagainst the enemy. In the meantime the far-mers and fishermen of all eastern New Englandhad taken arms, and were mainly collected atBoston. The two loyal armies moved slowlytoward each other, and, like two gigantic mill-stones, ground the anarchists between them.The almost relentless cruelty of the victors canbe explained only when the fact is rememberedthat many of them had just left homes deso-lated by the barbarity of their foes.

New England, and especially Boston, haveas yet hardly made good the huge loss inflictedby this anarchist uprising. With the exter-mination, however, of the entire socialistic pop-ulation, a new life and vigor has entered everycommunity. Business is rapidly reviving, andthe channels of healthy action are again filled.

The United States, now, has a standing armyof 200,000 men. L. E. X.

Noticeable Articles.

IN the April number of Scribnler's there is a paperby Prof. Adams Hill, of Harvard, on English in ourColleges. It is encouraging to see that this subjectof the teaching of English is attracting so much at-tention, for on no other educational subject is therea greater amount of misapprehension: perhaps it isnot too much to say that on no other are popularnotions more absurd. Unhappy schoolmasters andcollege professors are censured for not turning outall their pupils accomplished writers, under circum-stances which render such a result simply impossi-ble. This arises from the absolute ignorance of thepublic as to what is required. No one finds faultwith a music-teacher for not turning out all hispupils as accomplished pianists as the young ladywho took part in the last symphony concert. Herethe fact is fully recognized that genius plays an im-portant part in the problem, and next to that, longand assiduous practice. But all of this is equally

I'

true of writing. In the first place there is a gift forwriting; some people have it, and some have it not,and can never acquire it. We do not mean to saythat every man, by dint of taking sufficient pains, can-not learn to express his thoughts-if he has any-with reasonable clearness on paper, just as everyman can, with sufficient pains, acquire a handwritingin which a shall look like a and b like b; but we dodeny that in most cases it is possible to accomplisheven this without much time and labor. And wemaintain that, just as in the case of music, this prac-tical drill, to be successful, should be begun veryearly: instead of that the poor children at school aretoo often crammed with unintelligible grammars.The consequence is, as is only too well known toall college professors, that young men at collegecannot even spell their mother tongue, much lesswrite it; though, to be sure, as to spelling, it may beurged that ours is the worst spelled of civilized lan-guages.

The difficulty is the same in both cases; to learnto play on that most complicated of instruments, lan-guage, requires long-continued practice. Now, whatwould a student at the Institute say if he weredirected to attend assiduously to all his regularstudies, and in the odds and ends of time be pleasedto pick up the subject of mechanical engineering?And yet, this is the footing on which English studieshave almost everywhere - in classical not less thanin scientific colleges - been placed: the noisy dis-cussion that is going on just now upon the subjectshows that the public are waking up to the absurdityof the situation.

One half the difficulty in regard to compositionarises from putting trust in futile and pedantictreatises on rhetoric. To try to learn to write bytheir help is like trying to learn behavior by readingtreatises on etiquette. Good behavior is learnedunconsciously by habitual intercourse with well-bred people. We do not mean that there are norules to be observed, but we believe that the reallyuseful rules of rhetoric may all be got into a veryfew pages. Then, it is absolutely necessary toremark that a man, in order to write, must havesomething to say, and in order to write well must beinterested in saying it; which two rules are quitesufficient to condense what is commonly called"theme-writing." Theme-writing, as all who havehad experience know, is the art of covering paperwith unmeaning words. As regards the true art of

composition it is emphatically how not to do it, andwe are glad to see that Professor Hill, as the result oflong and dire experience, expresses himself thus onthe subject: " Under the most favorable conditions,the results of English composition as practiced incollege are, it must be confessed, discouraging . . .I know no language, ancient or modern, civilized orsavage, so insufficient for the purposes of language,so dreary and inexpressive, as theme-language in themass. . How two or three hundred young men whoseem to be really alive as they appear in the flesh,can have kept themselves entirely out of their writ-ing, it is impossible to understand."

"The style of a writer," says Goethe to Ecker-mann, "is a faithful representative of his mind;therefore if any mnan wishes to write a clear style, lethim be first clear in his thoughts; and if any wouldwrite a noble style, let him first possess a noble soul."The essence of all true rhetoric lies in this brief say-ing. The secret of good writing is, first of all, goodthinking. Students at the Institute have, unfortu-nately, little time for practice, yet the present writerdoes not often find much occasion to criticise the ab-stracts of their graduating theses, all of which hehas the pleasure of reading. The reason is, that inthem the writers are giving, in a brief and straight-forward fashion, an account of subjects which theyhave thoroughly mastered. It might even be saidthat our whole course of study is, in one sense, amost valuable preparation for composition, becauseit is in every part the strictest and most rigorousdiscipline in the art of logical. thinking. No doubtsomething more is necessary,- familiarity with otherand quite different regions of thought, and especiallythe command of a good vocabulary; but there is butone way of attaining that, and that is through a realfamiliarity with good writers. This is a processwhich cannot well be hastened. To be a master ofstyle one must get inside of literature, and that canbe done only through much and long-continued read-ing.

It is noticeable that the most successful experi-ment which Professor Hill thinks he has ever tried isone of the simplest: it is the writing of papers, a pagelong by a class of thirty seniors in the classroom."No manuscript is to be brought in, but students areadvised to select their subjects beforehand, and tofind out exactly what they want to say. Hav-ing no space for prefaces or digressions or perorations,they usually begin at the beginning, and go straight

The plan is a good one, butnot, perhaps, quite so simple as it looks; for such ex-ercises, to be effective, must be frequent, and withlarge classes the amount of labor required for thecritical examination of the papers would be enor-mous.

At length the venerable pileknown as the Ruins of Pecos were seen throughthe fast-approaching obscurity of night; owlswhooped as the two weary travelers turnedtoward its ancient and dilapidated gateway.As they entered that gloomny portal, the bats, incountless numbers, wheeled in rapid flightaround and above their heads. In the longand gloomy hours that succeeded, the rainpoured in torrents, and the wind howled andshrieked through the crumbling towers andtime-worn battlements, and sighed along thelong-since deserted corridors.

'89 has elected her editors of Technique fornext year, as follows: J. L. Mauran, G. C.Wales, Nathan Durfee, A. L. Davis, J. W. Cart-wright, Jr., F. L. Dame, A. W. LaRose, C. W.Pike, and R. L. Russel. This makes a larger

board by one man than either '88 or '87 had.We may expect a corresponding improvementin the TeczhniqZe.

The probable make-up of the infield of ournine for this year is as follows: Clement,catcher; Smith, pitcher; Duane, 1st base;Edgerton, 2d base; Ayer, 3d base; and Herrick,shortstop. Moore will be change pitcher. Aswe go to press the arrangement has not beenfinally decided on, so the above assignment ofpositions is subject to alterations.

Prof. A. T. Hadley, of New Haven, is goingto give a series of four lectures to the Seniorand Junior Civils and General Course men.The subjects of the lectures will be RailroadEconomy. The lectures will be given once aweek, and will be on the following subjects:Railroad Accounts; Modern Railroad Economy;Interstate Commerce Bills; Railroad Ownership.

One of the pleasantest entertainments of theyear was the "Ladies' Evening " of the Society of'87, given in the rooms of the new building.Arn enjoyable musical and literary programme wascarried out, with the kind assistance of Messrs.Brace, '87, Case, '88, and Meade, '89, the GleeClub, Messrs. Miller and Wetmore, Mrs. Shep-ard, and Miss Griffin. The latter part of theevening was spent in dancing. The Societywishes to return thanks to those ladies and gen-tlemen who assisted in making the evening amemorable one in its annals.

MIEM'IORIES.

As, when we sail on southern seas,The warm winds bring across the deep,From where far islands lie asleep,

The scent of blossom-laden treesAnd spicy odors, - so to me

Come memories of long-buried days,Sweet thoughts that float up through the haze

That overhangs the wide years' sea.I dwlell amid the winter hills,

And vou are in a sunny land;I never stay my busy hand,

But you know nothing of life's ills.You have forgotten, doubtless; yetI do not-I cannot forget.

- lVWilliamzs Lit.

IN LENT.

Now the prim and proper maidenVWalks the street with stately tread,

Looking neither right nor left, butCasting down her dainty head.

On the way to church you meet her,Morning, afternoon, and night,

Carrying hymnal, also prayer-book:She is trying to do right.

She wron't trip the light fantastic,Go to theaters, parties, teas;

It is now that she is resting,Striving to enjoy her ease.

At her home all is quite busy;What they're doing no one knows:

Home is full of busy fingersMaking utp her Easter clothes.

UN BAL MIASQUt.

A pair of flashing eyes keen glances dartingFronm 'neath the amnbush of a velvet screen,

And curving lips with dimples shyly starting,Half hidden by the mask, yet faintly seen.

A shaded seat from prying eyes safe guarded,A coNish lifting upward of the mask,

A stifled sigh my ardent look rewarded;The kiss I longed for I had not to ask.

AMl v wits are made the fool of all my senses,Gone daft o'er w-itchings of a pretty mask.

Alas for me, in spite of vain pretences,Forgetting it will prove no easy task.

Yale lecor-d.

Dressed in her waterproof and hood,As if intent on doing good,

Goes Phyllis, modest as a nin:Alas, she's far firom beinig one!

As I passed by,The window still does seem to -wearThe pleasant, sunny, cheerfuil air,That it was alw-ays wont to bear*When you were there.

A SPRING EVENING'S IDYL.

A fond adieu, a star or two,Some lips with rapture meeting:

A lover's sigh, a love-lit eye,A heart with fond hope beating;

A creaking gate, an hour quite late,A watch-dog's hearty greeting;

A quick advance, a pair of pantsThat sadly need reseating.
