for those who have not had tho op portunity to see the curios of tho physics department we have observ ed those wonders for our bee readers under the guidance of dr jones an eminent professor in the department it seems that the university poss esses some very valuable instruments used in optics which have belonged to the city of buffalo a man at perrysburg used them and when he went away wanted to take them with him since no one in buffalo could use them it was discovered that dr jones could use them as a mat tre of fact he knew so much about them that they thought that he had invented them as a result the city gave them into the care of the un iversity and they are now in the physics lab dr jones was extremely kind and willing to show us the instruments we observed one mysterious looking object valued at $ 1800 which wa3 designed to analizo the minute rays of ultra-violet into their width and position prepensity this is a mod ern instrument and is guarded with care only the graduates are allowed to use it next we were premitted to gaze into an improvised spestrum which separated white light into its various colors red yellow orange blue and violet this instrument is valued at 300 then we were conducted down stairs to the photographic room most myterioua with its large semi-cir cular contrivance which practically fills the room dr jones explained that day of light was permitted to enter through an aperature in the wall the room was submerged in darkness and painted black by means of this machine the spectrum rays can be magnified to ai;y de gree for study in this room was also a small delicately contrived machine worth sb00 what we couldn't do with a nice round sum like that which is also used in soms part of spectographic work there are only three of these instruments in the world they are very difficult to make and can hardly be obtained this is particular one was made at the university of chicago it is a great honor for our university to possess such an up-top date instru ment it consists of a glass on which is scratched with a diamond 100 000 tiny lines to an inch for ray re flection if the workman miscal culates one particle of a thousandth the machine is ruined in an adjoining room we viewed a massive machine for photographing assemblies in february set evidently the jigitatton of the freshmen for bigger and better as semblies has not

pride of a truth it has even gone about that there came a telegram one morning reading dr tippets university of buffalo stop come at once stop the needs you stop signed roosevelt now that was too much we believed that with all this clamor over our pro fessor and his various favors to the dity papers he ought at least to give us one little interview so we have finally arranged the following interview with dr tippetts for the benefit of the readers of the bee in consideration of his subtle and gifted manner of eliciting informa tion from his subjects the editor assigned mr william mcalber to cover the event as mr mcaleer approaches the office of dr tip pets he finds the professor reclin ing in his chair near the window overlooking the athletic field he is gazing wistfully into space appar ently deep in thought and munch ing patiently at a piece of wooden cake a gift from dr sumner at his birthday party on tho table btands the remaining portion of the cake and an electric buzz-saw on the floor at the professor's feet are three sections of a funny paper well thumbed in evidence of long and intensive study at the approach of the visitor the professor rises and offers a chair the following in terview ensues in which mr mc aleer will be designed b r bee reporter and dr tippets as dr t b r good morning dr tip petts i've come from the office of the bee for that interview i have a
