PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE UNDER Diff

scribed as Sc an itch for prying into other

Ignorant hankering after all such knowledge
as is not worth knowing; acuriosity to learn
things that are not at all curious. People
of that stamp would rather be ''put to the

e The FLORA OF CALIFORNIA.-Ine Flora
of California, it is we'll known, is on stu
pendous scale. The San Francisco Herald
tn us describes some Of the wonders Of its
forests : s'Of all the wonders l have ever
seen in the vegetable kingdom, remarks an
observant traveller, nothing will bear com
parison with the magnificent and lofty
growth of cedars and pines, which embellish
the hills and mountains that lead, and make
up, the Sierra Nevada range. The magnih-
cence and grandeur Of scenes, in which these
trees abound, cannot be imagined by any
man who has not seen them, and felt the
awe and sublimity to which they give rise.
l have counted in circle of fifty feet thlr-
teen pine trees, not one of which was less
than $50 feet in height, nor were any Of
them marked by the slightest curve or IN
clination. They are the inimitable and lofty
monuments of nature, uninhueDced by sweep
ing. storms and winds, unbent and undecayed
by centurian age Not limb or KNOT
can be found upon their bodies, until you
reach the altitude of from one hundred to
two hundred feet, beyond which height they
continue to grow until their towering maj jesty
overawes all surrounding objects, and affords
a fit refuge for the noble bird which adcrns
the banner of our country. No man can
travel through these scenes without feeling
that the grandeur Of Omnipotence itself Is
teaching him infinite and magnificent pow
ers. Such was the moral influence Of those
leviathan growtbs, Of cedars and pines, upon
my mind, [ would not have dared to have
given entertainment to q fugitive thought
against the supremacy, wisdom and power
OF Jehovah. Such are the pine and cedar
forests Of California, which cover an area Of
hundreds, if not thousands Of square miles. -

VIEWS RESPECTING THE SOURCE OF
LIGHT james Nasmyth, r. R. A. s., in
ventor of the Steam Hammer, an astronomer
of no mean fame, and man of splendid
abilities, has recently published an article
in the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal,
explaining some Of his views on the Source
of Light" which are both novel and inte-
restinr. He states that he has examined,
for a number of years, the remarkable fea-
tures which, from time to time, occur on the
sums surface, and whatever the nature Of
solar light may be, the " source Of 1t ap-
pears to result from an action induced on
the exterior surface OF the solar sphere.
Impressed with this view, he was led to con-
clude that the true source Of the latent ele-
ment of light resided not in the sun but in
SPACE itself, and that the SUMS duty is to act
as an agent for the bringing forth into vivid
existence it's due portion Of the luminous
element, which he supposes, is ditfused
throughout the boundless regions Of space,
and is perfectly inexhausEble. Reasoning
unon this basis, he concludes that the ele-
ment of light may not be equally diHHsed
throughout the regions Of space, and II this
ia SO. It is easy to account for the glacial Pc
riod, which, as geologists say, once existed
ON this earth, and which they account for by
boulders in Long Island, drift grooves ID
rocks, where no icebergs are now seen, MOI
glaciers either He says that there perhaps
was a time when our sun in it's course
through the stellar universe, passed through
a region of space, where the light-yieldinG
element was deficient, and in which case hi
brilliancy would have suffered awhile, an'
an arctic climate, in consequence, sprea'
from the poles towards the equator Of ou'
earth the glacial handwriting on the wall
of our mountains and ravines, he asserts, /
unouestionable evidence of this He be
lieves that his idea Of this source Of light
agrees with the Mosaic account Of the crea
ton Scientific Anlerlcags. 9

done, and he had laid by money enough, with
what his wife could raise in England,'to bring
his family on. The most affecting letters from
