tho University ChApe, the President joel Bsckmer In
The chair The following gentlemen were proposed for
membership, Hon. Zsdok Prsit Alfred GreehesL A. A
and J. Me0regor ESQ. Mr. sEsA SMITH Of Brooklyn,
was then Introduced the audience. His Lecture hsd
beer previously announced The New Elements OF &C.
omeTy and their connection with Arithmetic" The lee.
iue was mainly devoted to the establishment and demon
sirsuon OF hose New Elements Of Geometry 10 which
Mr. claims To prove that The lines and surfaces OF ea
surement IN Geometry are composed OF the KIND OF
quantity or geometTics sOdy the sOhd magnitude
which 10 the subject Of Measure According this
.heorJ every geometTica line has the breadgh sRd the
thickness OF cubic unit used the cacu siou and every
geOmeticsl surface has the thickness OF the cubic unit
TO oeuos,rae the truth Of the theory and TO show sa Il
skees perfectly with al ariIhmecsl calculations Of lines
surfaces and solids the lecturer hsd OF models for
measuring water in different geOmeIres forms, made
We ,cae OF cubic inch for the unit All he surfaces
therefore were made inch In thickness and all the hnes
AZ Inch In breadth ard an inch 10 thickness and all
NucIed 70 nod "a1er BY his means he could pour the
contents Of solids into ues snd into surfaces aud
tents Of surfaces into lines and show In every instance
that Ihey agreed with each other In cubic quantity pre-
csely they sgree in srithmeucsl calculation For In
stance take eIshedron whose Inscribed sphere s
inch 10 diameter and s face by sTithmeica calculation,

whose inscribed sphere s six inches in diameter the Sd
gon0i line is slso 10 Se2r. Although here 10 perfect
eRreemen Arihu etical numbers the Old denn
uons OF geometry there can be 40 agreement 10 geometr
cal Qusnly for The surface 10 considered TO be square
inches haVisg no thickness and the diagonal ne 10 con-
sdeTed to be long inches without breadth thickness
Mr. Smiths theory makes both the surface snathe line TO
be composed OF cubic inches and II he 6 the surface
exactly equal in cubic measurement The lecturer had
great variety Of illustrations Of this kind and he asserted
that the law OF agreement eppes 10 every possible
that can be presented In the measurement Of lines
faces and solids He earnestly con,ended that this new
ard view Of the fundamental principles Of geometry
will greatly simplify and facilitate the study OF the science
introducing It to common schools and making tamiinM
The fresde circle He insisted that the child should be
taught geometry and arithmetic simultaneously and these
uoies beug counterpars OF each other should always
so together by which means they would throw constant
and clear light upon each other making the hthso dark
snd thorny paIh OF the student plain, practical, and
pleasant
