In the lower house, this week it RACES in the
senate, Hoar, Blaine, Logan, Beck, and
Dawes, have all made great efforts, and
Voorhees,, Morgan, and others have yet to

his speech yesterday, and was followed by
Mr.. Dawes, who consumed an hour or more
In the midst of Senator Dawes speech SEN

league, announced his presence and desired
that he be sworn in. He was conducted to
the presidents desk and the oath was I'd

Senator Withers, who has charge of the
Military bill, said he hoped the
senate would be able to reach vote by the
middle Of next week, and in order to make

The sessions of the national academy OF
science, now in progress at All Souls
church, attract large audiences of intelli-
gent ladies and gentlemen who listen with
| appreciatiyc interest to the learned discus
sions of the members. Until within the

understood by laymen. Tyndsll and
Haxly set the example Of popularizins
science, and reducing to familiar
language, and explaining by
familiar illustrations, those ideas which
had before been expressed only in obstr1se
technical phraseology, Now we have their
imita,ors all over the country. Astronomy

densed his ponderous volume on minerols-
gy to manuel for schools, and many
other specialists have followed in example.
BY those who Thirst for scientific knowi-
edge, the annual session of the national sc-
cademy OF science are appreciated and ap-
proved, for, although some of the papers
