JUDGE BOWLING AND AN ENGLISH TRAY
ELER-Among Justice Downgs fellow passen-
gers in the Queen was an English traveller who
had taken delight in sea bathing at Bathgate
He privately told Justice Bowling one day after
dinner that the only discomfort in crossing the
Atlantic was the deprivation of salt water
baths.
"Why," said his honor, "a have my salt water
bath every morning"
Tell me how you do it,"
" Have the waiter call you at O'Clock to-mor-
row morning" replied the justice. "COme on
deck in your night shirt and slippers, and the
sailors will pump salt water all over you"
Thanks, my dear Judge"
Forthwith Justice Bowling sought the mate
and put up job" on the Englishmen. He
sent dozen bottles of champagne to the watch,
and extracted promise from each and every
man that when the Engishman appeared in the
morning he should be deuged with water from
the fore and aft force pumps. To each of these
pumps was attached one hundred feet of leather
hose and three inch brass nozzle.
At precisely o'clock on the next morning
the English traveller was called to take his salt
water bath. He made his appearance dressed in
a long rufiied linen night shirt, and on his feet
were pair of finely worked pump soed Slip
pers. He stationed himself near the forcaste
and Invested himself Of his light apparel. Then
he shouted:
"Go ahead, Mr.. Mate"
Go ahead" echoed the mate, and the sailors
played upon the bather
At breakfast a seat was vacant At lunch
also n seat was vacant; but at dinner the Eng
lishuen reappeared. and found chair as far as
possible from Justice Bowling.

A. LINCOLN ON GEOMETRY.-Probably the
majority of students are hostile to the study of
geometry, trigonometry and kindred studies,
COnceiring them to be utterly Useless in most of
the professions of life. The sentiment of Mr..
Lincoln, expressed when he was asked if he pre-
pared for profession, may be appropriately in
PRODUCED for the consideration of those ininical
to the higher mathematics: 81 read law as
the phrase is; that is, became a lawyers clerk in
Springfield, and copied tedious documents, and
picked up what could of law, in the intervals
of other work. But your question reminds me
of a bit of education had, which am bound
in honesty to mention, in the course of my law
reading, constantly came upon the word de-
monstrate / thought at first that understood
its meaning but soon became satisfied that
did not. said to myself, What do mean
when | demonstrate more than when reason or
prove? How does demonstration differ from
any other proof? l consulted Webster's Die
tionary. That told of certain proof proof be-
yond the possibility of doubt but could
form no idea what sort of proof that was. [
thought a great many things were proved be-
You'd the possibility of doubt, without recourse
to any such extraordinary process of reasoning
as ] understood demonstration to be. | con-
suited all the dictionaries and books OF refer
eDce could find, but with no better results
You might Just as well have defined blue to a
blind man. AT last | said to myself, Lincoln,
YOU can never make lawyer of yourselfi if you
do not understand what demonstrate meanS;'
and l left my situation in Springfield, went
home to my fathers house, and stayed there
until | could give any proposition in the six
books of Euclid. | then found cut what demon
strate means, and went back to my law studies"
President CULVER, of Knox college, to whom
the above was related by the president, then
said "If you will permit me, would like to
use this fact publicly. 1t will be most valuable
in incitlng our young men TO that patient claS-
steal and mathematical culture which most
minds absolutely require. No man can talk
well unless he is able first of all to define to
himself what he is talking about. Euclid, well
studied, would free the world of half of its ca
lamities, by banishing half the nonsense which
now deludes and curses it. Ihave often thought
that Euclid would be one of the best books to
put on the catalogue of the tract society, if
they could only get people to read it. 1t would
be a means OF grace" 81 think So" said Mr..
Lincoln, laughing, 81 vote for uclid."-Col-
lege Courier.

lavish her pity even in Denver, and writes: Ma

story. A small Colorado boy, who had been
out playing, ran into the house in state Of

THE NEW AEROLITIC THEoRY.-The Lon
don Times comments upon Sir VIM. ThOmp-
sons hypothesis as follows:
We despise these aerOlites. Some of the big
gest are in the British Museum, and they are
very stupid things, not at all likely to produce
a new variety of human race, or any other an
imal. Nay, they don't seem likely to even grow
moudy. But what if this world as it whizzes
along through a universe of shot, should some
day encounter its match in the shape of a small
planet? The huge fragments would certainly
dent perhaps crack our surface, give the earth
a horrid scrape, and send chain of mountains
some forests a kingdom or two millions of
men, and still more millions Of other live things
right into the space, perhaps into another world
that wanted yiYifying and peopling. There you
have at once what may have happened to this
planet some thousand or million years ago,
and what may happen tomorrow. A large
mass of us-England, or Ireland, piece of the
Great Sahara, or Paris, or Berlin-may be
brushed off in moment and sent on its jour-
ney. OF course it would make an immense
sensation in the watery world of Jupiter or the
gaseous consistency of Saturn. 1t would be a
new life to the Outlandish worlds-that is if the
life it took with it survived the journey aud
stood the change of climate. ***We feel like
children at play, not disposed to bother our
selves about the sense or consistency of the
piece acting before our eyes or just over, but
thinking only what the next piece will he, and
whether it will not be still more striking, ex-
travagant, and absurd.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS South Sunapee, N. H.,
correspondent writes as follows to the Manches-
ter Mirror:
About six O'Clock on Monday afternoon, 2Sth
inst, as Mr. Ashael Lear and and Mr.. G. A.
MaXfeld were going to their work, they heard
strange buzzing noise in the air, and upon
looking up they saw cloud of singular look
ing insects. Their wings came off and fell to
the ground in such numbers as to completely
cover it, Soon as they fell they began to dig
holcs-as large as Il Faber's No. pencil-and
disappear. Their wings look like scales, and
upon blowing upon the ground, flew like dust.
The insect resembles the ant in some respects
Its body was divided into three parts, its head,
its corslet, which was very small and round and
its abdomen, which was as broad as it was
long, and altogether larger than the ant They
possessed great strength, digging into the hard
pan and removing pebbles several times their
size. with rapidity which was truly astonish-
ing. Their bite or sting was as poisonous as a
wasp's. A number of people were called to OK
anime the insects, but no one ever saw the like
before. We would like to have you or some of
your numerous readers learned in entomology
inform us what they are called, and from whence
they came. Why did their wings come off? and
do they belong to the order of hymenoptera
If so, what genus?

but where they feel constrained to compliment
