scarecrows Of Fools.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:
This is the way in which Professor Huxley, in
his lecture delivered to the brainy part OF the
British Empire, stigmatized the logical conse-
uuences OF scientific research. We have always
supposed that the logical consequences OF hy-
pothesis had some thing to do with our Judgment
concerning it, and constituted rather an impor-
tant factor OF opinion or conviction. Until science
can establish itself upon the tncontroverttble
ground of absolute demonstration we DO not pro-
pose TO be called bigots and fools and other pet
names II we do not at once accept the ipsc dtTn OF
either Tyndall OF Huxley concerning questions
which have been In abeyance for couple of thou
sand years or 80, and which are no nearer sette-
ment now than they were when, the drst philoso-
pher asked them.
The recent raids which scientific men have made
Into the domain OF religion are entirely unscientac
and unworthy, and the conceit which dispOses Of
the Almighty as kind OF glittering generality,
while 1t draws over Its own shoulders the Olympic
purple Of Jupiter Tonans, may be worthy Of
sophomore, but is unbecoming in one who Ia q
humble student Of nature. so far az we can ul,-

WATER As A MOTIVE POWER.

About the most startling and wonder
full of all the wonders of our present pro
-rc>sive age, is claimed to have been
made by gentleman of Philadelphia.
1t i an utilization of water IA motor.
The inventor is exceedingly careful that
hi. secret shall not leak out, but he has
constructed a working model which he
has exhibited to several confidential
friends, who say that the result of the
experiments made, were wonderful. The
fact was developed that without fuel,
electricity or chemical action, there could
he procured pressure of seven thousand
pounds per square inch. When 1t Is re-
mcmhcrcd that steam boilers are subject
cd to from only thirty to two hundred
pounds of pressure, it may be
IMAGINED how enormous force is here
generated. More than this, it only re
qurcS two gallons of water to run II
tram of cars from Philadelphia to San
Francisco and back. Should this wonder
ful discovery prove success, what Il
revolution will be accomplished? Steam
will be completely overcome. Carbide
um will be thrown into the background
while the price Of fuel will Immediately
drop. But the most dangerous effect
will be that new horror of water will
be- created. Our prohibition friends now
say that it is the hcalthe>t and least in
furious thing in the world; but if it pos
sc>>cs such terrible power that only two
gallons of it can take hold of and drag u
heavy train of cars 5000 miles, nitro
glvccrinc becomes ut once Il feeble thing,
in comparison, and all mankind will
have to be very careful never to allow
themselves to get too much, under its
influence. In the same pro-
portion, one tumbler full ought to run II
man half a lifetime.

FORCIBLE EDUCATION.

On the lst of January next, Il law goes
into effect in New York, which willCnm-
pei every child to 90 to school twenty
eight weeks in each year, but it permits
him to go upon half time, and also allows
attendance upon any school which may
be selected. Beyond this the law Is very
stringent. 1t imposes fine upon every
parent who refuses To- send his child to
school. All truants found upon the streets
during school hours, are to be arrested by
the police, and made to give an account
of themselves, and all the little homeless
and wandering ones, are to be looked after
bv the various district school officers.
This is the first effort ut compulsory cdu-
cation, which will have ever been made
in the great city. In order that it may
be carried into full effect, the Board of
Education is now buSily engaged in pre-
pairing Il census of all the children of the
requisite school ages. OF course, at first,
many obstacles will be thrown in the way
of those attempting to enforce compli-
ancc with the law. There are hundreds
of men and women in the city, who lead
lives of lazincss and dcbaUchcry.
These, not caring for any education them
selves. do not wish it for their children
especially as they think that the time
taken up with study is 50 much lost from
the support they receive, by the toilimg
and begging Of the little Migrants.
And there is still better and more
intelligent class, who will do all it can in
opposition. These will take the ground
that they should be allowed to decide
whether or not their offspring shall be
educated, and that they should not be
forced into such step. But rs the
child's future usefulness as II citizen Is y
matter of great Importance, these ohSta-
Giles will not hc allowed t. interfere. The
authorities will. doubtless, execute rigor-
ously, the law, and it Is IN experiment
which will hc watched with much inter-
est by the friends of education every
where. The whole country will be cNa-
blcd to note the efficacy of the move in
the improvement or otherwise, of the
street Arabs which inEcst so numcrnu-lv.
