MODERN CHEMISTRY.
LECTURE BY PROF. C. y. CHANDLER.

LECTURE BY PROF. G, u. CHANDLER
Prof. Charles f. Chandler lectured, last even
Ing at the han of the College Of Pharmacy In the UNI
vorslty building, on Modern Chemistry" In beginning
hts lecture he said had chosen tho subject because u
had introduced 30 many changes in modern pharmacy
especially nomenclature 10 render It's consideration
Important Previous to 1875 the Investigations OF che-
lists had tended toward the finding OF new SUD
stances, toward the combining OF these substances
the transmitting Of all substances into gold ana the as
oovery OF remedies. mass OF facts accumulateu'
the latter OF the last century, however, many
important things were determined, such as the compost
ton Of water the existence OF the metals of tho alkaline
earths 60 The French Academy established q system
OF nomenclature which continued for 80 or GO years.
Within the last years however has come change I'm
the system-a change radical in some matters though
not in others. The old nomenclature recognized that
every substance one, or combination OF several
out of g. clements There were at the time when the
nomenclature was instituted only about 80 OF these ee
ents recognized but from time 10 time new substances
were added In examining the behavior OF these SUD
stances In combinations certain laws regarding thetn
were ascertained These laws LIST. The law OF
definite proporhon-that IT, that the elements lnyarla
bly unite In fixed quantities; %. The law OF
multiple proportions or tho fact that when
two elements combine they DO 80 IN sin ih,
when any elements combined with in certain pro

In ancient Greece were two schools OF natural
philosophy believed that substances could DC ava

substances they finally came to the atom which dld nos
admit OF division. DaltOu English chemist reallIed

names by letters and these letters earned
with them the amount of the substance entering INTO

General Chapman introduced large num-
her Of bills In the House yesterday In regard
to the District, nearly every one Of then
being Of the greatest importance. The spc'
cial assessment bill will provoke good deal
of discussion and criticism; but II the i'm
provemcnts are to he continued, II Is the best
possible measure that can be devised to make
the burdens upon our people as light as pos
siblc.
To the hill prohibiting gift enterprises we
desire to call the special attention Of members
Of Congress. II is one that should be passed
Immediately; to which not single objection
can Le made, and which, II allowed TO be-
come law Immediately, will be productive
Of great deal Of good. There are nearly a
dozen Of these swindling concerns now In
full operation In this city, which are Fleeing
the unfortunate people who resort to them In
the most cruel and heartless way. The police
have attempted to break them up; but the
courts have decided that the existing lottery
laws are pOwerlcss to punish these offenders.
Two bills In relation to the improvement Of
the harbor were introduced One provides
that the Government shall perform the work,
and asks an appropriation Of one million Of
dollars for the purpose. Provision il made
that the Government shall be reimbursed out
Of the proceeds of the sale of lands to be re-
claimed by the Improvement, and the balance,
II there should be balance, given to the Dis
trict The second hill on the subject lncOr-
poratcs company with a capital of Ave mil
lions Of dollars, and provides that all the
lands reclaimed shall become the property Of
the said company, with certain restrictions.
To the hill for the better education Of the blind
there should bC no objection on the part OF
the National Legislature. The bills for the
removal Of the wooden buildings on Judiciary
square, and for the sale Of the Georgetown
Presbyterian church come within the same
category.

were, In our opinion, two very important
contributions to history, but IL Is perhaps only
natural that the high Tory organ should not
choose to consider these events as very i'm
portant.
The particular portion Of the message,
however, to which objection is made is the
subsidy clause, and for reasons which will he
apparent from the structures thereon Of the
Rerietc' "The most questionable part Of the
message, though II Ia of purely domestic con-
cern, is the recommendation Of dvo million
dollars q year for Ave years for the epcour-
agement of merchant shipping. II General
Grant had at any time studied political econ
omy he would have appreciated the absurdity
Of discouraging ship-building and ship-own-
ing BY protective duties on materials, and Of
their rcdressing an arbitrary error by the
awkward machinery Of Government boun-
ties" General Grant has studied political
e,onomy sufficiently to see the absurdity, so
far as the United States are concerned, Of
the position which the Reuieto would have
him assume. To the literary and political
critics Of the opposition to the Administra-
ton We commend the closing sentences Of the

A collection OF wateT-cOloT drawings, by Mr..
Thomas Moran, the subjects taken from the
Yellowstone country, have been lately removed
from GOupils, where they were seen by many
persons-althOugh not, strictly speaking, on ex-
hihltiOn-and have been sent TO England by their
purchaser, Mr.. William BackmOTe.
We understand that another series has been he
gun by Mr.. Moran for an American gentleman, and
we hope that when these are finished the general
public may some day have the means Of seeing
them. To say that these drawings are the most
brilliant and poetic pictures that have been done
In America thus far, Ia unfortunately not to say
much; because our work In landscape to the pres
ent time has been plain prose, or weak idyl, or
Outheroding OF HerOd; anything, In short, but
poetry. This, with a few sweet exceptions, Ii
the main outcome OF our landscape painting But
Mr.. MOran's water-cOlors show strong man re-
lOlCing to run race: and with all his senses alive
Tor rich and strange and tender shimmering
color, rainbow and mist, with neetlng cloud, and
more hues than Iris with her purned scarf can
show. His love OF form Is strong as his love OF
OF spirit, the same dellcately moving mind.
In these drawings, as In the large picture bought
by the Government and now hanging In the
Capitol, the artist Is on such strange, unaccus-
toned grOund that one suspects some trick,
scme stage play and fears To be caught with
unresltles. Tame conventional people, who
make fetish Of the FTenchmAn, aud look upon
Theodore Rousseau as the speaker Of the last
word In landscape art, blame Moran for not
leaving the strangeness out OF his pictures, aud
for not making the Yellowstone synonymous
with the Seine,
hut those who eau love Rousseau, and Turner,
and COrOt, and Raphael, with one and the same
heArt--nOT hear any division In the concord Of
sweet sounds they make-wlll ask only how this
new painter has solved his problem, aud whether
the Yellowstone II as weirdly poetic on his can
vas AZ II Ii In nature. But who will look Mt Mr..
MOran's pictures and ask themselves how he has
delivered the message given him for us-WhetheT
he has hettled 1t, or slipped II, or given II In all
the fullness Of which he il capable, and with all
simpliCity-will, we think, agree with us that the
IDeageu N ger WAS well chosen, and that the wild
western desert has found In him most faithful
because most poetic voice. .-ScribnsTs Monthly.
