A Check on Profanity.

THE following anecdote ofthe late Bish-
OBJ Ravenscroft, Of the Protestant Episco-
pal diocese Of North Carolina, il told in a
biographical sketch in the Quarterly Church
RecseD:
Zone evening the stage coach in which
he and several others were passengers
took in man who was considerable intox-
icated, and soon began to be very laxative
and very profane. After little the Bish-
op, in Kind manner, told him that his
language WAS unpleasant to his fellow pass
engers, and requested him to speak with
out the addition Of any oaths. To this the
man replied that his mouth was his own
and that he would do with it ~ he
pleased The Bishop made no reply; but
when his profane language was renewed
in more offensive form, he again kindly
reminded the man that when he came in
to the coach the passengers were all on
good terms with each other, and each In
his turn contributing to the pleasure Of the
others, while he was making himself dis
agreeable to all. To this came another
and more insulting reply, with renewal
of his outrageous language The Bishop
then, thinking that longer forbearance was
ceasing to be virtue, clapped his hand
with some force on the shoulder Ct the
offender, who was sitting next TO him, and
in his most terrific tone, said: utter
another oath, sir, II you dare, and will
drop you under the wheels Of the coach"
A clap of thunder could not more suddenly
or more efectually have silenced the wretch
ed man. Not word was for some time
spoken by any one In the coach, and the
frightened creature never opened his lips
during the remainder Of the night As
day began to dawn the poor fellow, to use
the very words of the Bishop, stole sew,
eral timid side glaDces at him TO see wheth-
er 1t was human being or grizzly bear
that had 20 growled at him, and laid SO
huge paw, upon his shoukiar.i At sun.
rise next morning he got out at his home,
which was not far from the roadside But
before leaving he turned toward the coach
and said, Ladies and gentlemen, / humbly
beg your pardon for my conduct last night
and, addressing himself to the Bishop, said /: |
'Sir. particularly ask your pardon, and
thank you for stopping me a. you did He
hen stated that he was not drinking |
man, but that he had got with some old
friends the day before, and had made fool
II himself. The Bishop, good deal affect
I'd by the mans humble apology, said,
My friend, I freely forgive you, but remem-
Der that there is One up there pointing
with mis- finger, from whom you must re-
,eive pardon and strength also, ii you
want to be better man.. He then shook
his hand and said: I hope you may find

ton to that Of the other, 90 that the dis

If an additional force were made to oct on

some additional force be made to act upon

Thus she has established her perpetual
equation, which is forever opposed to per
petual motions in the sense of self-mov1ng
machinea 3 80 49,
She has also established her mechanical
equation in the transfer Of motion by the
law that no motion of any kind shall d.
miuish in one mass without an equivalent
increase of motion in some other mass, or
the conversion Of mass motion into heat,
which last is considered by many able
thinkers to be only mode of motion. II
heat be really motion, then she has said,
"let no portion of matter, no infinitesimal
part of the great aggregate of motion in
the entire universe be lost !" and she has
also as Enthusiastically decreed that no add
ton to either matter or motion shall be
made. -4@r~a4
We have said . demonstration Of these
truths would wreck the hopes ofpefpetual-
motion seekers. This 10, however, not the
time nor the place for such demOnstra-
ton, which would only be . repetition of
what has been written over and over
again in books on physics, and taught in
the lecture room, since physics became q
science. In whatever way nature has
been importuned, whether by experiment.
or the logic of mathematics, che invariably
has responded that she will permit no viO-
lation Of the laws above enunciated.
Whoever, then, invents selfmoving
machine must begin by the discovery OF
some new law which annuls all hitherto
discovered laws of motion and force. Let
these dreamers cease their attempt to CO.
cree matter into disobedience, and by ex-
pertinent and study try to acquaint them
selves with natures Interchangeable statute
book, and they will soon drop their
chimeras. and turn their attention to some
thing practical.-Scientlic american.

The Mechanical Equation.

A TRUE balance, with equal weights in
pans, may be said to be the type Of a
mathematical equation, the equality being
indicated or verified by the horizontal
position of the beam Another type OF
the mathematical equation may be found In
the double inclined plane, with pulley at
its apax, having cord with equal weights
attached to its extremities passing over
the pulley, and the weight resting upon
the inclined surfaces. In this type of the
equation, the horizontal position Of the
base of the inclined plane is the verifica-
ton of the equality of the weights stis-
pended from the cord.
No element of machinery exists in
which one or both Of these types of the
mathematical equation are not found, and
it might be shown that all the changes in
the relations OF parts on either side OF
the fulcrum Of the balance are types Of
the changes and transformations which
the members of an equation may undergo
without affecting their relation OF equality
A very interesting ser es OF analogies
might be thus traced, but this would be
foreign to this article, the intent OF which
is TO show that, in the construction OF ma
chimes, nature permits no permanent vio-
lation Of the grand mechanical equation
WHICH ucI WOIhS. MAN ul0y
disturb, but nature will ultimately restore,
equilibrium
To show this in the form Of demon
stratiOn, of course, wrecks the hopes of
perpetual motion seekers, who suppose
that they can add to, or multiply one side
Of the equation without increasing the
other. Nature has provided for ali this
beforehand. She has uttered her fiat, that
masses Of matter shall all tend TO COM
mon center; that heated bodies shall trAns-
fer their heat till oil reach common tenn
perature, and that during the transfer,
only portion Of this heat can be convert
cd into mass Notion. She hes affirmed
that what goes up must come down.
with q force exactly equal to that which
raised II, and that IL body be raised, or
carried away from the center to which 1t
is attracted, and its return be resisted, the
force with which it would have returned,
Ii left free to move, shall be transmitted
through Its support to the attracting body,
and expended in changing the path Of
motion of that body through space. She
has said that the parts of every body when
left free to move must balance themselves
around . common center Of gravity, and,
this accomplished, must forever cease their
motion in relation TO that centre unless
disturbed by some external force. She
has laid, down the law, that when two
bodies are Sd connected by any medium,
solid or fluid, that the motion which each
tends to produce is in an opposite direc-
