JUDGE BRADY ON GOOD DIGESTION.

The great hall Of the Cooper Union filled to

ing consented to lecture for the benefit Of St. Fran
els Hospital in East Fifth street. The subject was
MAY Good Digestion Wait on Appetite and Health
on Both" Tho lecturer in one Of his happiest
humors and while ut one moment he would hold the
audience almost spelbound with his eloquence, the
they would be in of laughter at of his
witty illustrations humorous anecdotes. BY
the use OF such intellectual rapid transit he mper
ceptibly carried his hearers from the gor-
geous Egyptian banqueiing hall to the state
dinners a. ancient Rome; from Rome to
Greece; thence to France England and last to 1.-The
land OF the free and the home OF the brave" His
description OF Egyptian feast was particularly
interesting. 'Ewers ana basins were provided for
the guests he said 'and they washed before dining.
Amounting performed, after which each guest
was presented with lotus flower. which he held in
his hand during the entertainment. Flowers were
used necklaces, garands for the head and formed
into wreaths and devices were hung on stands.
Flowers did not give the only perfumes used.
Fraukincense and myrrh were used to give pleasant
savors OF coming viands. 1t was strange that any
thing should be required to make the viands and
liquids acceptable but 1t said that cabbage
used to excite the palate before drinking. The
pense of some OF these famous dinners of the
clients was enormous vitelus, spent as much as
f3 32S for his daily auppers and the feast which he
gave his brother Lucius cost over $2O0.OOO. Alus

the last few days been the subject OF talk among
merchants 1t said that official Of some rank
under Collector Merritt had become involved In GER
tain charges of malfeasance in ONCE. The charges
spoken of imply the taking of valuable considers
tons from merchants whose business was the i'm
portation OF church ornaments and cergymen's
receive lower classification in fixing the tariff than
they were entitled to. The frauds perpetrsted in
this way are said to period OF i've years
and to amount to something like $75.UO.
Collector Merritt was Intercepted yesterday by .
HERALD reporter concerning the affair. but he was
retcent. ''Thcre is some foundation for It, he
finally replied, "but not at liberty to say any
thing about the matter. 1t is IN the Appraisers
Department: go to Mr.. butcher and ask him..
Mr. =. T.. butcher, the Appraiser. found In his
Office and asked for Information touching tho
mystery. He said:-"I can say nothing about that.
can state however, that Assistant Appraiser Albert
Gilbert was to-day suspended by order Of the Presi-
dent"
'What is the nature of the charges against himr'

valuation case; but IL is not in my province to state

THE PLANET MARS.

THE PLANET MARS.
Another picture of Mars showed more distinctly
the divisions Of land and water in that planet
concerning the details OF which the lecturer ex-
patiated at some length.
The planet. however. most like unto our earth in
every respect said the astronomer, is Venus and
she can, indeed be called sister planet. 1t Is
true study her under many difficulties and un-
favorable conditions, but from all we can learn
about her she closely resembles the world we live
in. Leaving to the last lecture of the course
the discussion Of the higher intervals of time
required for the evolution OF galaxies the lecturer
proceeded to show how the duration of the earth.
measured though it must be by hundreds of
millions of years, is but the merest second
In the duration of the solar system. and that
in turn the merest second compared with the du-
ration OF galaxies while the icons of eons
which galaxies endure are lost amid eternity. Mr..
Proctor concluded his lecture by reciting the words
OF Goethe translated by Ausley)-
See all things with each other blending,
Each to all its being lending
Each on all IN turn depending,
Heavenly ministers descending,
Then again to heaven uptending,
Floating. mngling, Intervening:
Rising, sinking and receiving.
Each from each while each is giving
On to each and each relieving
Each--the pales of gold.
The living current through the air is heaving.
Breathing blessings. see them bending.
Balanced worlds from change defending.
While everywhere dnused is harmony uuending.

SATURN.

The lecturer then passed to the planets which
represent the old age of worlds. Taking the moon
first, the oldest Of all within telescope range,
he explained that the dark regions of that body.
known the lunar seas, but Lot really occupied
by water darker than the rest OF the surface,
feature which seems to suggest that they were
differently formed. The natural interpreta-
ton of this is that they were once occu.
pied by water and that at the base OF
these lunar seas deposits were formed. presenting,
therefore, different texture and tint from that OF
the higher regions He considered the various stages
OF the moons earlier growth illustrated by
the craters, the systems and the wrinkles
of her surface. and passed on to consider
mosphere and proved by logical reasoning that she
is devoid of all planetary life The following pic
represents two of the most remarkable craters
in the planet The lecturer explained at considerable
length tn cir structure aud probable origin.
