Such instruction as this will give an
elasticity OF mind, a readiness and
freeness of mental action, which no
student who acquires faCts-not prin-
ciples-can enjoy. Teachers, see that
your pupils thoroughly understand
the principles OF the rules and laws
which they so glibly reeite. Call for
Instances (not found in the text
books) illustrating the application OF
the rules and laws enunciated. The
value OF such exercises cannot be
overestimated. They give pupils
more practical knowledge and culture
than can be acquired in the same
length OF time in any other way.

A comet is approaching the earth,
and can be seen with the telescope.
1t moves in an elliptical orbit, with a
period of five and a half years, and its
first appearance was noted only
thirty. three years ago, and its present
appearance is the seventh time that
it has been recorded. 1t will be the
nearest the earth on the 10th OF
April, at q computed distance OF
about 100000 miles; so that there
is not the slightest prospect Of col
Iision. 1t has never reccded from
the earth much further than the
planet Jupiter. In 1876 1t escaped
observation. but in 1857 it was seen
rising in the extreme southern hori-
zon, re aching a brightness bringing
it within easy observation with an
opera glass, and finally disappeared
in the northern sky.
