those connected with charitable institutional
that when money was paid to the poor, they
often laid out every cent in tea or coffee, mi

reproyed for this apparent extravaganza and

. ANCIENT PnI0soPuERs.Al although nothing like

found in their writings many brilliant conceptions.

light which was Afterwards to be 50 generally
dida>ed.
AuaXagorus. for example, who thought that the
sun was red hot iron, as large as the Peloponesus
taught al the same time the just doctrian that the
moon shines by light borrowed from the sun; and
was led 70 that opinion not only from the phases OF
the moon, but from It's light being weak and unac-
companied by heat,
Democritus, who maintained that the sun and
moon are bodies NO larger than they appear to US
10 be supposed correctly. though very inconsistent
tIy that the spots on the face Of the moon arises
from the inequalities Of the surface, and from
the shadows Of the more elevated parts projected
on the plains. Every one knows how comfortable
this is To the discoveries since made by the tele-
scope.
The same philosopher was still more fortunate in
another way. He taught that the milky way is the
light Of great number Of small stars very close to
one another; q magnificent conception which the
latest Improvements of the telescope have fully
verified.
Platarch, whose ideas were incumbered with
fewer absurdities than most Of the ancient philoso-
pliers. considers the velocity of the moons motion
as the eagse which prevents that body from falling

prevents it from falling TO the ground-a compari-
son which clearly implied the motion OF centrifugal
force.

speculation Of ingenious minds wandering through
the region. Of possibility, guided by no evidence,
and having no principle which could give stability

might have laid for Just and complete system.
