pronounce whether they are accepta-

have arrived at decision calculated
to greatly facilitate the re establish

and the Vatican.

familiar with the account--an oft-toId
tale at any rate-of the sudden in
crease in the splendor of small por
tion of the suns surface on Sept. |
1859, observed by two astronomers
independently. The appearances de
scribed correspond with exactly what
we should expect if two large meteor
ic masses travelling side by side had
rushed, with velocity already
amounting to 200 or 800 miles per
second, through the portions of the So
lar atmosphere lying just above, at
and just below the visible photosphere.
The actual rate of motion was meas
ured at l20 miles per second at the
minimum, but may, if the actual di.
rection of motion was nsiderably In
clined to the line of sight, have
amounted to more than 200 miles per
second. The effect was such that the
parts of the sun thus suddenly excited
to an increased emission of light and
heat appeared like bright stars upon
the background of the photosphere it
self. One of the observers, Caring
ton, supposed for a moment that the
dark glass screen used to protect the
eye had broken. The increase of
splendor. was exceedingly limited in
area, and lasted only for few min
utes- fortunately for the inhabitants
of earth. As it was the whole frame
of earth sympathized with the sun.
Vivid auroras were seen not only in
both hemispheres, but in ATTITUDES
where auroras are seldom seen. They
were accompanied by unusually great
electro magnet disturbances. "In
many places" says Sir j. Herschel,
"the telegraph wires struck work At
Washington and Philadelphia the cleo
trio signalmen received severe electric
shocks. At station. in Norway the
telegraphic apparatus was set fire TO,
and Mt Boston, in North America, a |

electric telegraph, which writes down
the message upon chemically-prepared
paper" We see, then, that most GER

nave good reason for believing that
he actual cause of tie sudden change

matter upon a portion of his
surface. We may well believe that,
whatever the cause may have been, it
was one which might in the case of

he photosphere, in which case there
would be just such an accession of

THE APE THAT MOST RESEMBLES MAN.
Professor Garrod held a charming

Professor Garrod held charming
reception at the London Geological
Gardens, and discoursed to the people
about the anthropoid apes The pro-
fessor made it plain that the anthro-
poids are the simial aristocracy, even
if we not accurately call them our
poor human relations. As prosecutor
of the Geological Society, the profess
or stated that he mad dissected seventy
apes out of the anthropoidal class,
and not one of them exhibited the
yermiform appendage of the cecum,
or blind gut, which is characteristic
of man. But the anthropoids have it
quite humanity developed. The hands
and feet at an orang recently dead
were exhibited along with those of
man, and showed the same structure.
The manners and customs of gorillas
were described from authentic obser-
vations, and their domestic arrange
ments, their sleeping hammocks and
use of stones in cracking nuts, in
creased the impression that this ami
NAL is very humanlike, indeed. Pro-
fessor Garrod showed that the struc-
ture resemblances between the an
thropoid apes and man are so close
that the reason for the mental and
moral difference remains still al un-
solved problem. Perhaps the most
striking and important portion of his
discussion was that in which he proved
that the vocal organs of men are pres
ent also in the anthropoid ape. The
ape does not converse, and yet the
difference between his vocal appara-
tus and that of man is so infnitesimal
as to defy observation 1t is to this
point, however, that physiolog ical in
must now be particularly
directed.
Professor Huxley declares that, to
bis mind, the only thing that promises
TO explain tue mental difference be.
tween the anthropoid ape and man is
this phenomena of language. Lam
guage implies consultation. compari-
son of experience-necessari!y en-
bodies itself in the written form, be-
comes the storehouse of facts, results
in inferences, and in the wisdom which
can control and modify nature, where
The dumb creature is controlled and

oy an animal that could not obtain

ows for the work of Improvement.
# it should be ultimately determined
~ psychologists that there is abso-
utely no difference between the vocal
'rgans of the anthropoid and man,
efuge would have to be taken in the =
hypothesis that there is some point in

be vocal power, which does not ex-
lctly rhyme with the latter in the
nan.

Death Of William Cullen Bryant.

William Cullen Bryant, the poet
and editor, died in New York on
Thursday at the advanced Of eighty
four years. He was known and
respected wherever the English
language is spoken. Beginning
life as q lawyer, he soon abandoned
that profession for literature, in
which he greatly distinguished HIM
self. His poems arc marked with Il
grace and purity Of n high order.
Among his most ambitious works
are his trnnslations of Homer. For
many years he had tho editorial
management Of the New York
Evening Post, through which he
welded a potent influence for good.
He was Republican Of liberal
views, and in the last campaign he
supported Tilden. \ week or two
ago Mr. Bryant took part in some
public ceremonies, and was over
come by the heat. On his return
home he was seized with u vertigo
rs he was entering his house, aud
fell against tho stone steps, injuring
his head and becoming unconscious.
From the effects Of this injury he
died. His loss vii! bo severely
felt. America has not many literary
men of high merit, and can i'll
afford to lose such man as Mr..
Bryant was.
