Mr.. HARMON III observed in your last paper. an
article taken from the Philadelphia Freeman's Jour
nal, stating that Parsley rubbed against Glass
Tumbler would break it, and that the cause of the
phenomenon was unknown This phenomenon
may be worthy of investigation when the fact OF its
existence is established but strongly suspect that
the fact is about as certain the idea sometimes
advanced, that live fish placed in vessel OF water
will add nothing TO its weight--a circumstance
which would also be curious if true. suspect that
if briskbat, parsley, or any thing ese were rubbed
against glass tumbler, to break it, thescause
Of the destruction might be found in the force appl
ed. | am not certain, however, that | understand
how parsley, in the supposed is to be made use
LOT out know that took handful of parsley and
rubbed it against" glass tumbler, and then rub
bed it on the inside OF it, and rubbed it all over it in
every direction and the lumber remained after the
rubbing the same as before. The story, and not the
tumbler, was destroyed-reminding me of a verse in
Goldsmith's Eegy on the death of mad dog
"But soon wonder came to light,
Which show'd the rogues they lied;
The man recovered of the bite,
The dogi was that died."

Mr.. ENGLISH, the American, who has penetrs.
ted SO far into the interior OF Africa, and is now
believer in the Mussunan faith, was a student oil
Harvard University, where he graduated in 1906
or 1907. He must, therefore, lie more than SO
years old. 1t is mistake to say that he was an
nfdel at the age of IL. He was Congregational
Clergyman after leaving College,. and, from a
Calvnist, he became an Unitarian His next change
was to the Jewish faith, in support of which he
wrote frequently. He has now, it appears, become
a Mohomedan; and what change he is next to
undergo, imagination may conjecture He was
when at College, remarkable for the quickness Of
his mind, and the force and beauty OF his decls-
nation.
If his discoveries in Africa are as novel as his
religion has been various, much of interest will be
attached to his researches. Charleston Courier.
