Or PETRIOGNOXY. —Take a
photograph of the Prince of Wales. Looking at the face,
we are struck with a soft, girlish beauty, which reminds
one chiefly of the Princess Charlotte, m she appears in
Chalon's portrait. When we seek for maely vigour, we
; are rather disappointed till we come to the hood, sod lo
in some of the photographs that heed is in violent contes-
tdiction of the face. It ia the large, firm, strong fist of •
man ; and the explanation of a contradiction is that the
hand usually arrives at its full development long before the
headpiece. Passing to the other extremity of human life,
we encounter the fact which Layette points out, that rarely
;is • man laden with years to be seen whose phy-
siognomy is frank and open, or exhibits the trots of •
prepossessing generosity. Yet old age is not ungenerous,
and notoriously it is frank even to garrulity.. Strictly
speaking, this is a fact, which, if it were of importance,
would tell against physioomny itself rather than against
its prime law of homogeneousness ; for the contradic-
tion here is not betweeu one feature and another,
but between the features es a whole, and the mind
of which they are supposed to be the dial plate. I *sleet
the fact, because it is perhaps the one most easily appreci-
able by a majority of readers. Who has not marked the
parched, pinched, shut-up, self•absorbed look of age? And
who does not see that when the whole body fails, it, power
of expression may well fail also? Eye, ear, and tongue
cease to do their work : and why should we expect that the
wrinkled skin and the unstrung tissues should continue to
fulfil their offices! " I knew a man of fifty years, and
another of seventy," says Layster, " both of whom while
alive appeared to have no manner of resemblance to their
children, end whose physiognomies belonged, if 1 may so
express_ myeelf, to a class totally different. Two days after
their death the profile of the one became perfectly con-
formed to that of his eldest son, sod the' mage of the other
father might be distinctly traced in the third of hi! 44w0..
In almoet CL: people, as well ag la the young, there is
ittesey like this of hidden resemblance, and we have to
explain the shortcomings and contrarieties of their features
by constant reference to it.—Coriskiii Mays: ran for
November.

THE

THE "PHILOSOPHICAL 1847, when
• revision of the statutes of the Royal Society rendered the
fellowship of the society vary much more difficult of attain-
ment them it had been hitherto, certain Fellows established
• new Royal Society Club, under the Dante of " The Philo-
sophism' dub," based on exclusive principles. It consists
of 47 members, in allusion to the year of its establiehmenk
35 ci wham mast tits within ten miles of the Post -0W....
Ths wpm af this dub is to promote as much m posalla
the .dells&Mists of the Royal Society, and, with the
emspliss d the president of the society for the tiros balm,
those only are eligible as members of the club who are
Fellows of the Royal Society, sod authors either of a paper
published in the transactions of one of the chartered mode-
ties established for the promotion of natural science, or of
some work of original research in natural science. With
the 'implies of scientific foreigners. no strangers are
allowed to attend the meetings of this club. —Fraser' s //o-
paline for November.
