The object of this department is to present the facts in such a way as toawaken a love for the science no less than to show its utility ; to illustrate itspractical applications in the arts and to give an experimental knowledge ofthe properties of the leading elements and compounds ; to give the studentsa glimpse of the circle of eternal change, which is the life of nature, alife whose fountain head is the sun, and whose processes we trace in both theanimate and inanimate Physical L abr atory O DEPARTMENT of the University is better supplied with theapparatus necessary for general demonstration than the PhysicalLabratory and this high state of efficiency is mainly due to themechanical genius and untiring zeal of Prof. Ward. He has hadample opportunity to display his powers and a glance at the apparatus hehas made will show how faithfully he has made use of it. In connectionwith the Labratorj- should be mentioned the machine shop, equipped with athree-horse power engine, built by the Professor, a turning lathe and othernecessary tools. He has under construction at the present time a forty-lightdynamo, which will provide electricity for lighting and experimental pur-poses. Through his efforts there has been added to the department a largestereoptican complete. Our description of the Physical Labratory would bealtogether incomplete did we neglect to mention the new Static ElectricalMachine. It stands six feet high, five feet long by three feet wide. There
