thus reeorded-no law at least from which any
constant system of prediction for long periods
in advance, can be deduced. Mr.. Jahncke,
quotes the remarks of Sir VIM. Herschel on
the Weatherwise condition ofhuman knowledge,
to the effect that Science is endeavouring to
interpret the weather, is in the position of q
man who hears at intervals a few fragments Of
a long history related in a prosy unmethodical
manner, MANY circumstances of which are omit
ted or forgotten, and the want of connection
between the parts, prevents the nearer from
obtaining possession Of the entire tale. The
West Indies would supply a most important
connection between the parts, and due atten-
ton should be given to them. It cannot be
doubted that atmospheric phenomena, are
subject to certain liked rules, and that certain
natural causes, or combinations of natural
causes, produce certain natural effects. The
prime cause is certainly the Sun, and as
the influence of the Sun is strongest between
the ttobics, it follows, that it is in the tropics
that observers must turn their attention, If
thew wish to obtain useful results from the
countless observations now hOpelesSly inefficient
only, because the key to their understanding
is not sought where alone it can be found.
OF course Mr.. Jahncke's paper did not go
down with every body. 1t is the fate of all
great discoveries to meet with Soeptlclsm at
first. In the narrow little bit of rock from
which he dared to look out upon the immense
field he was investigating, there arose one or
two men who could not quite see the good of
all that he had been doing; but we feel as
sured that in the II ore enlarged circles, where
his observations are destined to be read, they
will create a deep sensation. There is at
present existing on the subject of the origin
Of Cyclones, nothing but utter ignorance inten-
siied by crude or gratuitous theories. If light
can be thrown on this the fundamental pont in
the whole question, the first step toward the
attainment Of truth will have been made. We
have felt great delight in the perusaI of Mr..
Jahncke's paper and we can only express
the hope, that there may be found q few more
like him in those parts, to cooperate in the
useful work Of practically demonstrating the
great benefits which Science would derive
from turning her attention to this New
field

Mr.. PARKHUBsT 5 sPECULATIoNs
in regard to the comet leaving part
of its tail to form an atmosphere for
the moon seems to be little aside
from abserycd facts. All spectroscop-
ic ANALYSIS of the matter of comet =
tails has hitherto seemed to point to
the conclusion that they were SOME at
tenuated form of carbon unknown to
terrestrial chemistry. 1t has even
been asserted that if all the matter of a
comets tail were reduced to the same
density as the carbon we know. in the
form of charcoal and coke, ii would
not exceed 4 few ounces, ar might be
carried in the waistcoat pocket.
Whether it would be proper to speak
Of such a subject as likely TO form a
possible ''atmo~phere" for the moon Is
open to question However, all Mr.
Parkhurst speculations are matters of
extreme interest, and We hope that
this whole subject will receive a rigid
investigation at the hands Of our scien-
fists.

How a Brave Captain Died.

On Decoration Day, May 30th, Gen.
J. \. Kellogg, Of La Crosse, delivered
an address at Faribault, Mimi. In the
course of his remarks he related the
following heroic accident:
Another incident, also illustrative
of discipline and true courage, took

p. Converse and Corporal Frank Hare.
The Corporal had been wounded in the
leg and had just suffered amptuntion
above the knee. The Captain had
been shot through the body and also
the thigh. The rebel surgeons had
concluded to experiment upon him by
what is known as hip amptuation.
Converse knew tnat his wound was
mortal, and was anxious to avoid un-
necessary pain: 50, whispering TO
Corporal Hare, told him that In his
inside coat pocket he had a small
Colts revolver which had escaped the
notice Of the enemy, and desired Hare
TO secure it and prevent, if possible,
his being disturbed until he died.
Hare obeyed the order, and when the
attendants attempted to remove the
Captain to the amputating table, Hare
cooked the revolver and lin quiet, yet
firm tones, commanded them to desist.

laid a hand upon his Captain. 4 guard
was brought up, and with cooked mus
breast, he was ordered to drop the
pistol, but he only laughed at them,
"What," " said he, "do you suppose |

me, if you like, but that man is my
Captain; he has ordered me not to

out Of debt. He owes, as I have said.
$500. coo, and the government are
about to ask Parliament to pay
his debts. The proposition will cause
a row, and, if the Republicans had any
real influence, they could make some
capital out Of the affair. The plea in
favor of the proposition viii be sha. she
debts have been incurred in the per
formance Of state duties which have
been imposed upon him bY the Queen.
The truth Is, | believe, that the Prince,
who IS a very shrewd man in his money
matters, has always borrowed the finds
which have been expended on these
occasions, refusing to use his own
money for such purposes, and saying
that in the end either Parliament or his
mother must pay his debts thus CON
tracted. II raisyn. The simple JUS
tice Of the case would seem to demand
that the Queen should pay the money.
She receives from the state very am
pie revenue for the discharge of
certain duties; it would seem only
right that if she deputed her son to
perform these duties for her she should
pay the expense attending them.
Many disputes are said to have taken
place between the Queen and the Prince
on this subject; but Her Majesty does
not like to spend her money any more
than the Prince does, and as the credit
ors are growing cInmorous Parliament
is to be asked to vote the money. it
is an ill-advised piece CT business F.; 5ut
[ suppose the request will not be re-
fused.
