THE GATE CITY
Aggas.Iz,s Museum.

Professor Agassiz, who is at once a
wise and modest man, said in the At
lantic Monthly, not long ago, that all his
Investigations in science had served only
to convince him how little he really
knew. Yet this great man, who lacks
self assertion while he enriches the store
of our knowledge, is daily doing useful
work for American science. He not only
delivers a regular course of lectures in
the Lawrence Scientific School at Cam
bridge, but prepares magazine articles
and writes mastery volumes on natural
history, finds time ITO undertake long
Journeys for scientific observation. and
directs the affairs of the Muzeum of Com
parative Zoology in Boston.
The last report to the museum, just
published in Massachusetts,. shows some
curious facts. Professor Agassiz, in his
account of its opera lions for the year
1862, says that its collection embraces
100000 specimens, representing 5000
species, all preserved in alcohol. In the
collection of the British Museum, which
is now superior to that of Paris, there are
but 2u,o0o specimens. This numerous
collection in Boston necessarily permits
an extensive system of exchanges, so that
the whole country receives benefit from
the operations OF an Institution which
owes its foundation to Professor Agassiz's
private gift of his own collection. Of
birds, there are now in the Boston Mu-
scum more than three thousand speci-
mems of reptiles there are TIA different
species; of fishes, 374 species and 2,799
specimens-ichthyology being Agassz's
speciality. This is remarkable exhibit
of the wonderful growth of collection
which is only four years old. but which is
already the finest existing picture gallery

A cheap and good vinegar can be made from the
