Williams, therefore bo it Resolved by tho board of education of the city of Columbus, that in the death oj Professor W. J. Williams, this community has lost an upright citizen, a Christian gentleman and an able in structor of our youth, ono who was ever earnest for tho moral and intel lectual upbuilding of the pupils of our schools, and that this board has been deprived of ono who was an invaluable aid to its work for the advancement of the educational interests of the city. That while we mourn his loss, we fully realize that his work on earth was well and faithfully performed, and that he has entered Into tho re ward of those who work for tho up lifting and betterment of mankind. That wo extend to his bereaved fam ily our heartfelt sympathy in tho un timely taking off a kind husband and fathor, bo It Resolved that a copy of theso reso lutions bo sent to tho family of Pro fessor Williams; that they be pub lished In tho nowspapers of this city and spread upon tho records of the board.

To all tho Students in the University Owing to the unhappy prevalence of contagious diseases all students are kindly admonished and urged carefully to guard their health, avoiding all un necessary oxposuro, and to consult phy sicians at onco if they at any time find themselves the subject of unusual or suspicious symptoms painful in na ture. This observation is sent out purely as a measure oi cauuon. There is no occasion for fear, but there Is reason for care. E. Benj. Andkews, Chancellor. BOTANICAL EXPERIMENTS. Tho experiments now being carried on in tho greenhouses under the super vision of Mr. Hedgecock are progress ing with considerable success. Tho ex periment is for the purpose of deter mining the amount of modification of plant tsructuro duo to light, moisture, and different grades of soil. Temper ature cannot enter into the experi ments in the greenhouses on account of tho constant heat. In theso exper iments the wild plants of the state arc used, and at the present time there are between two and three hundred varie ties. For more delicate work in the same lino Professor Fossler and Mr. Hedgecock have erected glass cases in tho windows, of tho workroom on the first floor of science hall. These cases are divided in four compartments eacn, so that the temperature, moisture, light, and atmosphere conditions can bo regulated. Some Interesting re sults may be expected from this work. A valuable machine for use in the de termination of the intensity of light has recently been constructed by Mr. Hedgecock for use In botanical exper iment work. Tho purpose of the ma chino is to make comparisons of shade and light in greenhouses with full sun light out doors. Tho main feature of the machine is the use of photographic paper, which although not a new idea for this kind of work, has never been used to any extent. It Is believed that this is the only machino of its kind in this country. Like inventions have been made in Germany but never as complete as this one. In tho use of the instrument tho experiments has to deal with tho error duo to temper ature, but by careful determinations, this feature may bo of little conse quence. Y. M. C. a. Tho interest in regard to the com ing visit of Mr. C. C. Mlchenor con tinues to increase. Tho date has now been definitely settled as February 28.

NORMAL SCHOOLS. From all appearances tho schools of the state and especially tho normal schools will come in for a full share of tho legislation in the present ses sion of the legislature.
