...cathode rays at the Jefferson Physical Laboratory have shown that the quality of glass constituting the Crookes tubes has very little to do with the phenomena outside the tubes. A bulb that gives a blue fluorescence will produce as good cathode photographs as one that produces a yellow or green fluorescence. It is practically useless to endeavor to obtain photographs with tubes which are not exhausted to a high degree, perhaps one millionth of an atmosphere. When the anode throws a strong shadow of the cathode on the fluorescent walls of the tube one is sure of obtaining photographs...
...number of the periodicals have been bound and placed on the shelves. The books are of a vastly miscellaneous character. Except in a few instances they have been added in small batches of two or three. The largest donation was made early in February by the Hon. Samuel A Green of Boston, a regular donor; it comprised 66 books and 858 pamphlets...
...whole has greatly to be improved. The positions of the men are still uncertain. Probably six of the old crew will retain their seats, and the two vacant places, 7 and 5, will be filled with new men. MacDonald, Hall and McCloud are the best of the green material. At present the average weight of the men is almost as high as that of last year. If they keep on increasing they will outweigh the '95 crew, which was considered very heavy. The crew will go on the river in about ten days...
...then exhausting the air, you get the cathode rays. At this point the experiment was performed. The light in the Crooke's tube was a pale blue on the two pole and light pink in the centre. A fluorescence was given off which was of a light blueish-green color. This, Professor Trowbridge explained, was thought by some to be the cathode rays, but the point is still in doubt. No one knows what the rays are. In connection with this the lecturer took up a large slim beaker filled with kerosene, which is generally colorless, but when held near...
...Mandolin and Banjo Clubs, was held in the Casino last Friday night. It was one of the most successfull dances ever held in Princeton. The attendance was very large but the floor was not uncomfortably crowded. The prevailing color used in the artistic decorating was pink mingled with pale green and white, the whole blending very effectively. The boxes were also draped in pink and were all decorated in a most becoming and elaborate manner. Lander's orchestra of New York, hidden by palms and exotics, rendered exceedingly fine dance music. All of the arrangements for supper as well...
