furx. The German ambassador
with Crown Prince have gone
by special train to the scene Of
disaster. It seems the vessels were nm
der full Roadway when the Kr,,io WI
helm ran into the Grosscr Kurf.rx. The
shock was terrific, the latter vessel fall
ling and sinking within FIVE inmates af.
ter the collision. To add to the horrors
of the situation, the boilers of the YES
sci exploded, scattering death and des-
truction in every direction.
THE LATEST FROM THE DISASTER.
According to = telegram dated London
June 1st, dispatched by Rear Admiral
Batch from FolkestOne 1873 men were
saved. The most reliable estim stes
give the Grossr Kurfursfs crew at about
500. A report, resting upon the au-
thority of the Sandgate coast guard,
says 255 were saved. The coast guard,
however, state they are informed the
Grosser Kur}tirsts crew vas nearer that
number than 500. 1t is reported that
twenty-five of the rescled have since
died from exhaustion The latest
Lloyd's telegram fixed the total of
saved as % officers and 16O men.
The captain of a fishing boat makes
the following statement: "My boat,
with other fishing vessels, was returning
to Folkstone when we noticed
three iron-clads coming down.
A bark was fishing off the shore,
The Grosser Kurft.rA ported her helm to
clear the bark. The Kanig Wilhelm,
pulled hard aport and struck the
Grosser Ktwtura forward of her mizzen
mast. The Kurf,ra went over on her
broadside and sank il five minutes.
She went down in fifteen fathoms. All
hands jumped overheard. Our boats
reached the spot directly afterwards,
and rescued twenty-sev,n men, includ-
ing three officers. Oher boats res
cued a number of tie crew. all of
whom were transferred to tho Kaaig
Wilhelm. Capt. Batacl, of the Grosser
Kurf,.rx, went down with his ship. The
boiler did not explode, but the escaping
steam must have scaldh many persons
in the water The KoHg Wilhelm had
her bows stove but the bak was stopped
with hammocks. The collision was un-
doubleday caused by tn, Kenig Wilhelm,
porting her helm too suddenly.
Mr.. Smith, first lord d the admiralty,
in his statement in the house of COM
mons to-day, confirmed the report that
the collision occurred while the Grosser
Kuyft.r% was endeavGing to avoid n
merchantmen. He saida dock was pre-

Evolution and Msterialis,m.

First of all l wish frankly to acknowl-
edge that l am myself III evOlusicnist.
may not agree with most that evolu-
ton advances always cum, Eq,lo pede. On
the contrary, believe that there have
been periods Of slow and periods of
rapid, almost paroxysmal, evolution. l
may no. agree with most that we al
ready have in Dd, uinisa,, the final form,
and SURVIVAL Of the tHest, the prime factor
Of evolution. On the contrary, be-
lieve that the most important factors OF
evolution are still unknown-that there
are more and greater factors in evolu-
ten than are dreamed Of in the OAR
~inian philosophy Nevertheless, evo-
luton is grand fact, involving alike
every department Of Nature; and more
especially evolution Of the organic king
dom, and the origin of species by deri-
walton, must he regarded as an establish
ed truth of science. But, remember,
evolution is one thing and materialism
another and quite different thing. The
one is a sure result Of science; the other
doubtful Inference Of phiosophy. Let
no one who is led step by step through
the path Of evolution, from the mineral
to the organic, from the organic to the
animate, and from the animate to the
rational, until he lands logically, as he
supposes, into blank and universal ma
terialism-let no such one, l say. i'm
agine for moment that he has been
walking all the way in the domain OF
science. He has stepped across the
boundary of science into the domain OF
philosophy. Yet the step seems 30
easy, so natural, so inevitable, that most
do not distinguish between the teacningS
Of science and the inference OF phifoso-
ply, and thus the whole Is unJus.,y a.
credited to science.-PRof JOSEPH -"

A Story of Circumstantial Evi-

MTE WERE sitting round our tent

captain and sub of our company, his
covering sergeant, corporal Williams,
and certain sapper, to wit, myself.
Wewere drinking pale ale and smoking,
as was every one else in the hundred
tents around us.
Here's my last bulls eye," and the
sergeant produced from his cap-pouch a
fattened bullet, turned inside out as
neatly as possible.
What's the cause of that, 1 won
der,' said the corporal.
You see,'' said the aptain-being an
engineer he was bound to know-''when
the point of the bullet strikes the target,
part of the lead is melted by the devel-
opment of heat caused by the sudden
arrest of the bullets motion, and goes
off in the splash, the rest of the bullet is
softened by the heat and inasmuch as
the parts must stop in their order of sue
cession, the edge of the cup of the bullet
is driven in level with the base of the
cup. Is that so, Major ?"
Yes, quite right; but, if you like, L

bullets, that may just last out these
