vent a surprise. The Ancient Buildings
Protection Society, whose second annual
meeting was held on Saturday last, have
not failed, in their report, to direct at
tention to the architectural loss which
the metropolis and the country at large
would sustain by the continuous disap
pearanee of these interesting, venerable,
and in many cases handsome, structures,
which give at once rest and qualification
to the eye amid the hurry and turmoil of
London life. The Ecclesiastical Com
missioners, on the other hand, are GER
tainly not expected to concern them
selves, in their corporate capacity at
least, with archaeology or ecclesiology.
Reasoning from the patent fact that most
of the city churches have small congre-
cations, they have pulled, and are pull
ing, and will continue to pull down as
many churches as they can, selling the
sites for as much money as they can get
for them, equitably apportioning the
charitable endowments of the disestab-
lished churches to neighboring and
deserving charities, and making large
grants for church building purposes in
outlying districts where the potential
congregations are large and where the
existing church accommodations is in
sufficient. It is pity that this system
of uprooting old churches and planting
new ones in the suburbs cannot be car
ried on without depriving the City of
London of number of historical land
marks, and offering a cruel outrage to
the illustrious memory of Christopher
Wren

The four or five baby elephants stood
in a row, fastidiously selecting choice
spears of hay with their restless trunks,
while Emperor and his huge mates lay
sprawled out on their sides, their upper
sides being rounded up into formidable
mounds of flesh The effect of the light
was to make several of them 1urch back
ward and forward and sideways, and
finally sit up on their launches in their
clumsy, broken-jointed fashion. The
seal sleeps on it's platform and not in the
water. The giraffe usually holds its
long neck nearly erect, with his legs
doubled up under him, like a horse.
Keepers in the menagerie divide their
charges into six chases-hay animals,
cat animals, monkeys, elephants, birds
and fishes. If keeper of the cat ami
mails is killed, or if he leaves his situa-
ton, the management look about for an
experienced man to take his place. If
they cannot find any, they promote one
of the Oldest and trustiest hay animal
keepers to the vacant position. The cat an
imal comprises everything of naturally
savage nature, including the lions. The
hay animal include deer, girafes, and
the like. In the elephant class are in
cluded rhinoceroses and the hippo
potami. Itrequires particularly steady
and trustworthy man to care for the
"cats, which can never be handled or
changed from cage to cage without pre-
cautions, no matter how tame they may
seem to be.

SEEING OURsELvEs.-Am man is ordina-
rily said to be young, even in this coun-
try, where we live preternaturally fast,
up to 35 or 40, to be middle-aged from
40 to so, and not to be positively old, if
he be of sound health and well pre-
served, until he shall have reached go or
thereabout This estimate of years
would indicate the normal age of man to
be 100 las Button declares it should be) :,
though his average age is scarcely so,
and 60 is much beyond it. What reason
is there, then, for speaking of 35 to 40 as
young and 40 to so as middle-age
None, unless we consider that we begin
practical and useful existence, as we
really do, with the attainment of our
legal majority; and, as rule, people
have very little life to IS years
after that. It is common to speak of
men, especially in public positions, of
sixty, as in their prime. A few appear
to be SO, notably in Europe; but they
are not actually. since, at seventy-five,
the public distrusts them merely from
their age. The great majority of men
have gained three-score, and he who is
in his prime then in a seeming sense is as
exceptional as he who lives to ninety or
ninety-fve. We all like to delude our
selves in respect to life. When our
neighbor is sixty he appears to be very
old. When we are of that age, we are
not young, to be sure; but we feel as
young, we say, as ever. In fact, we are
in our prime. While we can creep
around and are in possession of our fac
ulties, we insist that we are not very old;
but our friends, Smith and Brown, with
not year more than we, if the truth
were known, make themselves ridiculous
by trying to appear young.

The Magnetic Poles.
fFrom the scientiflc Americ

fFrom the Scientific American.l
From study of the movement of the
compass needle producing declination at
London, Mr.. B. G. Jenkins, of the Royal
Astronomical Society, has become con-
vinced that the various vicissitudes of
the needle during the last three hundred
wears can best be explained by the sup
position of q strong magnetic pole above
the earth's surface, and revolving around
the geographic North Pole in about five
hundred years. He finds four magnetic
poles, as maintained by HALEY and Hand
steen, to be necessary to explain satis-.
factorily all the phenomena of terrestrial
magnetism, but he places these not in the
earth, but in the atmosphere. These
poles he regards as the free ends of as
many magnetic BELTS two extending from
the vicinity of the North Pole to the
equator, the other two coming up from the
South Pole to meet them, the boreal mag
netism of the northern belts uniting with
the austral magnetism of the southern
belts along the magnetic equator. These
bands he believes to revolve at slow and
unequal rates round the poles of the earth,
producing secular variations.
1t will be observed that Mr.. jenkins
describes the magnetism ofthe Northern
Hemisphere as ..boreal." Contrary to the
current theory, he holds that the north
end of the compass needle is true north
pole, and that the facts observed are, when
properly understood, in full record with
the great magnetic truth that like poles
repel and unlike poles attract.
After submitting the evidence in favor
of this view, Mr.. Jenkins argues in this
| wise: If the north pole of the dipping
needle is south pole, its pointing to the
ground in Boothia (where Sir James Ross
located the earth's north magnetic pole)
must be attributed to attraction. IF it is
attracted, it is attracted by something
either in the crust of the earth or at the
center Of the globe. If there is some.
thing in the earth's crust which attracts
the needle in Boothia, it ought to attract
the needle in London. But the needle in
London is attracted neither to the crust at
Boothia, nor to the earth's center The
truth is, Mr.. Jenkins believes, that the
North Pole at the needle pointed to the
ground almost perpendicularly in Boothia
because it was repelled by the true north
| magnetic pole in the atmosphere above
that region when Mr.. James Ross was
there fifty years ago.
Further evidence as to the existence of
the alleged magnetic belts above the
earth's surface is promised. Meantime,
it is of the first Importance, Mr.. Jenkins
thinks, that it should be clearly settled
whether the magnetic pole remains in
| or above Boothia. According to his cal
culation, it should now be in latitude 72
degrees, longitude lis degrees, in Prince
Albert Land.

Peru Seen from the Inside.

'sThere is no other Peru" said Mr.. Ja-
cob Wray Mould, ''and there is no other
Henry Meiggs." According to the ac-
count of the New York architect, much
of whose work is to be seen in Central
Park, who introduced there and in DR..
Bellows church (''the Beefsteak") the
parti-colored style of external ornamen-
tation, and who has been for several
years in Peru, the assassination OF Gen.
Pardo, President of Peru, was rs just a
deed, as far as Pardo was the victim. as
if the inexorable fates has marked out a
violent death for him as punishment.
"Pardo," said he, "played fast and loose,
using all the ability he had as master
of the art of double dealing to annoy Mr..
Meiggs, until he dropped into his grave.
He was killed by Pardo as certainly as
Pardo was stopped afterwards by the
bullet of his assassin"
It is pleasing to learn the actual status
of Peru in the commercial world from
one who has had full opportunity for OBJ
serving the people and the progress of
the country, and who possesses the
knowledge and intelligence necessary to
form just opinion of such matters. The
accounts received from time to time from
that rich but i'll managed region are so
conflicting and palpably unreliable. that
the UiU0 UOce statements of a gentleman
like Mr.. Mould are relief and are ex-
ceedingly interesting. He declares that
Mr.. Meiggs was the life and soul
of Peru, and that with his death
died the immense progress which the ma
ton was making towards a position
among the acknowledged powers of the
earth. We know all about that great
capitalists railroad projects, to the ac-
complishment of which he took all the
immense experience which his previous
life in California had given him, and
which he pursued with an indefatigable
industry and tact which. together, Mr..
Mould calls genius. If we permit with
in the pale of that abused and indefn-
word the peculiar tact required to amass
wealth and to use it and the talent which
earned it for the worlds good, Henry
Meiggs certainly possessed genius.
With regard to the architecture of
Peru, in which Mr.. Mould was particu-
larly interested, he explains that Mr.
Meiggs projected q magnificent drive
seven miles in length, with superb build
ings on it, and park midway. These,
Mr.. Mould says, would have been worth
crossing the Pacific Ocean to see. But
this project, like many others which had
germinated in the great workers busy
brain, was nipped in the bud by his
death, the legal dispute concerning his
will preventing his nominal executors
from pursuing the line of action marked
out by him. He would have imported
brick, had he lived, to replace the hor-
rible yellow adobe of the Peruvians, and
he would have worked the neighboring
black marble quarries if he had had
time.

THE BRITISH TAR EXTINCT. old
class of shippers have no difficulty in
discovering the source of the evil-it is
all the fault of steamers. Without los
ing sight of the prejudices of these
worthy men, which make them some
what unsafe guides, we may acknowl-
edge that there is a certain amount of
truth in their accusation In the first
place steamer can afford to carry very
inferior men, and only the smallar part
of her crew are seamen even in name.
She has on board large number of fire.
men who pass as sailors, without possess
ing any pretentions to the title Then
the conditions under which the master
of steamer collects his crew are such
as render it almost impossible for him to
discover whether it is good or bad; and
sailors need as much choosing as domes-
tic servants. He rushes in and out of
port, discharging his men the moment
he enters, and shipping others just before
he leaves, when he cannot wait to look
about him, and must put up with what
he can get. Naturally he gets desperate
and indebted loafers, who, having drank
the wages gained by their last voyage,
re-embark as last resource. Hence
steamers are filed with bad characters of
all sorts. The firemen are often the re-
fuse of manufacturing towns. Their life
at sea is so hard that only good pay
would bring good men to it; and their
work requires SO little skill that it can
not command good pay. They are, it is
true, generally little better paid than
sailors, but only little-some five shil-
ings month or SO. Hence they are a
dangerous element in the ships com
pany-mutinous on board and drunken
on shore. The deck hands, as regular
seamen are styled on board, are, for the
reason given above, not much superior
to the firemen. They are not required
to possess much skill; it is enough if
they can steer and clean paint and metal
Steamers, therefore, are the paradise of
the loose fish who hang about ships. An
ugly parody of the stirring and adven-
turous spirits who have ever taken to the
sea'among us, nowadays they form a we'll
defined class, for which names unknown
to our grandfathers have been invented
beech-comers, packet rats, and SO forth;
and they are a worse danger to ships
than the perils of the sea, as well as a
burden on the lives of her Britannia

ATSEA.

Worn voyagers, who watch for land
Across the endless waste of sea,
Who gaze before and on each hand,
Why look ye not to what ye flee?
The stars, by which the sailors steer,
Not always rise before the prov;
Though forward nought but clouds appear,
Behind they may be breaking now.
What though we may not turn again
To shores OF childhood that we leave,
Are those old signs we followed vain?
Can guides so oft found true deceive?
Oh, sail we to the south or north,
Oh, sail we to the east or west,
The port from which we first put forth
Is our hearts home, is our life's best!
