PRoFEssoR HOLMES LEcTURE--We had the
pleasure last night Of being present at q lecture
on Entomology, given by Professor HOLMES, at
the Charleston College. The Professor has quite
large class Of pupils, principally young ladies,
who are attending this course OF lectures. The
room used for the purpose was in the west wing OF
the second story, on the same floor with the
museum. A sheet had been stretched at one cor
ner Of the room, and the figures Of the different
insects were thrownupon it from the Professors
famous Bnoptric lantern. The magnifying power
Of the lantern was fully displayed and the gigantic
forms that were represented caused many ejacqlass
tions OF disgust and surprise from the audience.
Few persons were enabled to recognize in the
monsters portrayed on the canvass the flea, ant,
house fly, gregarians, and other common insets.
u
Professor HOLMES are invaluable au1iliaries, and
we were pleased to see Aattering an attendance.
