This little work really performs scrsico TOR
tho thaory OF evolution, although it Was written
by IN active opponent, and intended to bear eEi-
denca against tho doctrine. No eyolutionist en-
terrain tho idea that man has developed from
monkey, or TINT monkey can By ony possi-
blity develop into man. Tho popular idea
that thia ia deduction from tho Development
Theory. Is altogether mistaken The real sappo-
siton of tho eyoluiionist with regard to tho ALI
snce Of MIN with the ape, is that, in remote
past, both sprang from single roo.-forn, but
that, from the first moment OF their di-
vcrgence up to the present, thoy hare continued
to widen tho distance between them. The yari-
alton which created the primitive difference has
6tendily increased, until the existing diversity has
been reached. Therefore, when Mr. Mivnrt makes
use Of bis learning to expose the s.ructu-
raj Nkenesses ard unliscuosses between man
and tho apes, ho il wording directly in tho in-

OF general mIapprellensiou, and preparing

THE ORIGIN OF BUCK BEER.-In

THE ORIGIN OF BUCK BEER.-In
the former German Kingdom of Han
over there is town named Esmbeck
where, as early as the eighteenth CEN
fury because of Its most excellent
water suitable for brewing beer) there
were 500 breweries, exporting their
products at the time when 10 the Who'll
of G ermany you could hardly find a
glass of tastful beer. The expectation
was especially made to Bavaria, and
above all to its capital, Munich, where,
of course, that beer, to distinguish it
from domestic beer, was called Elm
becker beer, then Becker beer: then
Beck beer. and at last Buck beer buck.
Since the brewing business has been
eminently improved, the number of
breweres at Eimbeck has SO much de-
creased that now there are at that
town sixty breweries.

QUANTITY OF SALT IN THE OCEAN.
Everybody knows that the waters of
ocean are very salt to the taste; but
how many of you have thought of the
immense quantities of salt of different
kinds that must be in the Atlantic and
Paci2c to give flavor to such enor-
nous bodies of water.
Scientific men have thought about
it, and one of them Captain Maury)
has told US that it all the various salts
of these oceans could be separated from
the water and spread out equally over
the northern half of this continent, it
would form covering one mile deep.
So heavy would be this mass of salts
that all the mechanical inventions of
man, aided by all tie steam and water
power in the world, could not move it
so much as one inch in even centur-
les Of time.

State Teachers' Certificates.

The examination. for State certi6.
Gates will be held at Madison, the
week preceding the meeting of the
State Teachers Association, commen-
ding at 9 o'clock, Tuesday morning,
July 7th, 1874.
The Board of Examiners for the
current year consists of Prof Duncan
NcGregor, Platteville; Prof Warren
D. Parker, GAINESVILLE; Supt. Michael
Kirwan, Manitowoc.
Applicants for certificates will be
examined in the following branches Of
study:
l. For an unlimited State Certifi.
cate the branches of study now required
for LIST grade county certificate, with
the addition of English Literature,
and the rudiments of Botany, Zoology,
Chemistry, Geology, Political Ecouo-
my and Mental Philosophy. Appli-
cants for this grade must present salts
factory evidence of successful teaching
for at least ntne terms.
2. For limited Give years. State
Certificate, the branches of study now
required for LIST grade county certif-
cate, with the addition Of English Lite
nature aud the rudiments of Mental
Philosophy.
Appli ,ants for this grade must pre-
sent sati factory evidence of successful
teaching for at least three terms.
Applicants who fail in any of the
branches required for either of the
above certificates, may present them
selves for examination in such studi, $
within one year. A re-examination in
the branches in which they were sue
,cessful will not be required.
All stationery needed Will DO fur
,nished by the Examiners.
1t is alike the interest of the State
and Of the profession that these certifi-
Gates should be largely sought for.
They are worthy objects of a teachers $
ambition. Their possession confers up
on the holder both honor and indie
pendence. 1t jnsures him a good
position, for it transforms him from u
seeker of work at other peoples prices,
to skillful worker sought for at his
own price. 1t is such title deed to
su ccess and merit as no man can ques-
ton. 1t is hoped there may he annu-
ally large and increasing number of
applicants. EDWARD Soaring,

cannot get from this city to GAINESVILLE

On the 18th of July last, Mr. Michael Collins
while engaged in digging potatoes on the farm
of T. TAFT Esq, captured a number of potato
bugs and put them in an empty bottle, closing
the bottle te prevent their escape. He placed
the bottle by post on the ground, making the
remark that he would ascertain 'how long the
scritters' would live, anyhow" The summer
passed away and the winter followed, bringing
no thoughtof the incarcerated bugs. Last week,
in passing, Mr.. Collins observed the bottle and
picked il up. 1t contained the intact though
naotionless forms of the pOtato-top destroyers In
the caprice of the moment he took the bottle to
the house and held it over the fire. Immense
was his establishment on perceiying the bugs
take TO themselves legs and walk. In a few
minutes the interior of the bottle was writhing
mass of Coloradoes. Eight months without food,
exposed to the extremes of summer and winter,
and still living. This statement is fully vOuehed
for and shows what foe farmers and potatoes
have to contend against.-Jotiet IL Sentinel.
