Sherman has about concluded to appoin-
a supervising architect of more caliber

be assisted by q supervising draughts.
man, whose business will be to see that
the theories OF the supervising architect
take some practical shape. The gentle.
man now being pushed for the place is an
architect of Cincinnati, and he will be
likely to receive the appointment. Null

has not succeeded but to-day Sherman
issued a commission to him as superin-

Chicago and st. Louis. He will take
personal charge of completing the build

The CruCiilxlOn-By Rabbi T.. b.
Browne,

Rabbi +. B. Browne delivered last
week in Irving hall a lecture on the
"Crucitixion of Christ" wherein he un-
dertoOk to prove that the Jews are limo.
cent of the blood of Christ. The lee.
turer said that Mr.. Moody and Senator
Sargent of California. had, by their re.
cent remarks, in which it was charged
that the Jews cruciied Christ, called out
the statements he would make in refuta.
ton OF the accusation. The lecturer
sad he would assume, for the sake of an
argument, that all contained i'm the New
Testament is true and that Christ is God,
and, having assumed the form of a man,
he must be considered as any other mem
Der OF the human family. Jesus came
down knowingly to be put to death, and
1t was necessary for his plans that his
divine nature should remain a secret.
The question then was, did the Jews
cruelty Jesus? are they responsible for
his death? do they approve of his assassi-
nation? do they rejoice in having par
ticipated in it? The lecturer went into
an elaborate argument to show that the
whole narrative of Christ's apprehension,
trial, conviction and execution, as re-
lated in st Marks gospel, are at square
issue with the known facts governing
the Hebrew law in such cases. There
could be no doubt but what christ as
pred to be the Messiah, or Savior of his
people. He performed many miracles,
but nearly all Of them took place in the
wild mountains of Gallilee, where people
were extremely ignorant. Rabbis, too,
have been known to perform miracles.
About that time a rabbi caught the
devil, literally, and held him i IN bondage
for a good while; another got hold of the
angel OF deaths sword SO that for a con.
siderable period no one could die, and
God was put to a good deal of trouble in
p%ersuading the rabbi to give up his ire
mendous weapon. Hence it was nothing
extraordinary that Jesus should work
miracles in Gallilee The lecturer then
defended Judas I%scarot, and argued that
the money he received was not as a re-
ward for a traitorous betrayal of Christ,
but rather because he had tried to have
Jesus conveyed to a place of safety.
Judas was a good and faithful servant OF
his great MASTERY y. HerdH.

IN his address as president Of the Iiv-
erpool Geological society, Mr.. Mellard
Reade offered some data for calculating
the length of geological periods, He
made a careful estimate Ofthe amount of
solid matter washed down by the
Thames per year; thefgures very closely
agreeing with those which Prestwich OBJ.
tanned. Similar calculations were made
by Mr.. Reade for other rivers. The
Thames is credited with washing away
one hundred and torty.seven tons per
square mile every year, the Rhine, 92.3
tons; the Rhone two hundred and
t%hjrty,two tons; the Danube, 72.7 tons;
the Garonne, one hundred forty.two
tons; the Seine, ninety.seyen tons.
Probably one hundred tons of rock ma
terial are dissolved per square mile
every year, Of which half may be cal
cium carbonate, a fifth calcium sulphate,
sever tons silica, of magnesia carbonate
and sulphate and sodium chloride four
tons each, and six tons of other alkaline
carbOnates and sulPhates. Taking the
solids removed mechanically at six times
those in solution Ga high estimate), the
total denudati9n ON the globe would be
six hundred tons a year per square
mile. One-third may be added to this
for d%enudatiOn effected by the sea on its
coasts and for the amount that volcanic
cruptions add to a given stratum.
Carrying out this calculation for the
%sedimentary crust of the earth, estimated
at ten miles in thickness, its production
may have occupied 526, 100000 years.
This evidently includes the assumption
that the %denuding action was as slow in
distant geological epochs as at present.
1t should not be difficult to calculate
from such data the number of millions
OF years that must elapse before our
present continents are worn down to
sea.leyel. Such a deduction would COM
pei a very great modification of some of
the figures assumed by NJ. de Candolles
in his recent estimates as to the length
of time that the earth will be fitted for
the abode of man.

The other day a delegation from the
amalr,mated society of taiiors waited
up5u the British government in the per-
son of Under-Secrctary Cross. The OBJ
iect was 20 lay before him some facts in
connection with what was called the
, sweating system One of the dclega-
ton said he had seen instances in which
garments were lying on 4 bed in which
fever patients were suffering. There
were a great many instances in which
things had taken place. They considered
that il an employer got people to take
work home, he should he bound to get
the placet to which it was taken registered,
and hoped Mr.. Cross could see his way
clear to make it imperative that every
house used as a tailor's workshop should
be so arranged by the employer. 4 del
erate from Manchester gave the results
of visits to one thousand homes where
this work was carried on, and stated that
the condition of things was something
deplorable. In some cases four or five
persons were at work in a room nine feet
I bv twelve feet. Sometimes people were
making these garments in the midst of
their domestic arrangements. From the
facts that had come under his knowledge,
he had no hesitation in saying that the
state of things required alteration, and
the people engaged were in a most In
healthy condition. They found some
where near one hundred and thirty
thousand people engaged in this way,
and all the surroundings Of the place
were such as would foster and spread
disease. Another delegate said in some
instances in London a man and woman
would be at work in a small room, at the
top of the house, in which they lived
and slept. The people occupied in this
work were so crowded together that the
place could not fail to foster and spread
disease, While people went to large
shops with snowy tronta they did not
know that the clothes they purchased
were made in close and unhealthy rooms.
He knew a case in which, while the
body of a child who had died from small
pox lay dead on the table and two other
children were sick with the disease, the
man and wife were at work in the same
room, and twelve fashionable coats were
in the room, which would be sent all
over the town. Mr.. Cross said he would
introduce a bill after Easter to cover the
case.
