their attention, showed an intelligent appreciation
Of the very clear and complete demonstration Of

"The Agreement Between the Mosaic and Scientific

sor claimed that in the previous lectures he had
shown the perfect accordance OF science with the
truths or Scripture The burden OF his story he said
last evening, would be IN reference to light
and the other powers which we found now blended

electricity and magnetism. The passage or cur

and beautiful experiments were shown illustrative
OF the beautiful light known TO man. obtained from

An article in the Herald ef Hsa!M says
that one of the earliest efforts made to OBJ
tain anything like fixed relation between
height and weight. was that Of d.. Boyd,
who weighed 4 number Of inmates at st.
Narylebonc Workhousc, England. He took
the height and weight of one hundred and
eighty persons lahoring under consumption,
and found they averaged fve fest and seven
inches in height and sixty pounds In weight.
He then measured and weighed III pau.
pers who were not consumptive, and found
that their average height was 6ve feet thres
inches, and that they weighed ~ pounds.
This subject attracted the attention Of the
late DR.. John Hutchison, and hs determined
to take the height and weight OF al classes
Of persons In this community.
In this way hs collected the height and
weight of upward Of 5000 persona. The
