Professor John Williams White left for Europe last week to spend his Sabbatical year. He will stay two months in St. Petersburg and from there go to Greece, stopping on his way at several large continental cities to make a study of valuable manuscripts in their libraries.
Professor Trowbridge has recently discovered a method by which he has obtained a more intense source of heat than has ever been reached before. By means of it he will be able to study metals under new conditions of temperature. At present he is engaged in experimenting with gases, in the hope of obtaining spectra similar to those exhibited by the stars. With the new apparatus he has also produced x-rays of remarkable intensity and penetrating power.
