has gone through numerous editions.
and he has had the manhood TO &C
knowledge where he has been wrong,
and to correct any errors into which
he had fallen, and even to abandon
pet theories when he found that the
facts seemed to be against him. In
other words he kept pace with the
rapid advance of his science, so much
so, that the later editions Of his
works bear no sort of resemblance to
the first. 1t was this fair mindedness
that made him so much respected
and referred to as a man of science.
He visited this country twice, once
in 1871 and again in 1S45, and exam
ined critically the geological torma-
ton of this continent. He wrote an
account of both visits. and they con-
tain much that is of interest to the
American scientist. He died full OF
years and honors, but remained &C.

of his Geology was published. and

death Of this eminent geologist and
scientist. In his death Great Britain
loses her foremost and Oldest geolo-
gist; and the world Of science a man
TO whom it is indebted for much that
is fixed in It's knowledge Of geology.
He was born in Kinnordy, Fofar-
shire, on the 14th Of November, 1901.
lie graduated at Oxford in 1919 and
entered upon the study Of law, and
even began the practice Of his profes.
sion, but the teaching Of DR.. Buck
lard had instilled such q love for the
study Of nature into his mind, that
he threw up his legal pursuits and
turned his entire attention TO geology.
In January, 1880, he published his
first extensive york, The Principles
of Geology" which in its various ed

AT last the Tennessee Legislature
has made an effort to get up some
thing tangible on the question of the
State debt. A special committee is
provided for, to which everything per.
tanning to finances is to be referred.
But it is matter of serious uncertain
ty. We doubt if it is possible to pre-
pare anything on that subject upon
which the Legislature can harmonic.
There are too many conflicting opin-
ions among the solons who compose
that august body. There are too
many men there who fancy they
know great deal about public
finances. who know nothing on that
subject, and very little on any other.
There are half-dozen men in both
Houses, who, if left to themselves,
could and would inaugurate measures
for the relief of the people and fol-
the protection of the honor and credit
of the State; but they are comprised
about with "dead-weights,' and whose
power is entirely neutralized. 1t is ;
preponderance of the animal over the
mental-of blood and flesh owe
brains, and brains will not win in thi'
case, we fear.
