greater facilities in the pursuit of
his profession, he has recently
made himself acquainted with the
German language, the German
scientists having become, Of late
years, notably devoted to and pro-
ficient in matters relating TO tidal
science.
The Professor read paper, be-
fore the Philosophical Society"
here, on Meteorology, which
showed plainly that he is as much
at home on all questions relating
to the winds as those relating to
the tides. A bare glance at his
algebraic signs, and other technni-
cal representatives of ascertained
laws, employed in the paper re-
ferred to, is enough to give an ord
mary reader the headache, gener-
ally intelligent though he may be.
And yet in these abstruse studies,
Professor Ferret finds the very
meat and bread of his intellectual
life. Having never married they
are as household pets to him In
plain words, his scientific devo-
tion is a marvel to his otherwise
employed friends. He goes but
seldom if ever, into what is known
as society here, having no relish
for it, at all, seemingly.
In view of the record which he
has made for himself, although
only as yet arrived at middle age,
/ regret that due regard to his
toric truth has made necessary the
correction Of the error as to his
birthplace. / should have been
glad to recognize him as 'native
of BerkeIy.' However, he is SO
near to it, his father having taken
him there when young, that we
may, after all. lay claim to him rs
a Berkeley Boy" and in him, as
such, indulge a pardonable pride.
Now, as touc ing the question
which you have raised and SO
judiciously disposed of, "Shall the
young man go West?" would it
have been better for Professor
Ferret to have remained on the
family farm on Back Creek, even
in view of its being one of nore
than average prOductiveness?
Had he done So, he would have
been out Of his true sphere
and science would have been
deprived of one of its most useful
as we'll as honored devotees, while
the Government could have lily
spared the rare services he has CIV

first place, and spent many years

1t is true, he did not remain there.
But the principle is the same. He

more congenial pursuits followed
