The Public Schools.

We observed, while listening to
the reading exercises of u large class
of little children, u week or two
since, that as one was called upon
to read the rest were on the alert to
catch him If possible in II mistake,
and of course dozen or moro
hands were instantly raised. To
expect TO get through paragraph
withouta mistake was hopeless, and
would have been for pupils of n
higher grade. The slightest error Of
any kind was noticed.
Now, we do not say that this
was not all right, and the best way
to teach n class. ltdoubtlcss is, or Is
would not be adopted at the present
time, We only say, is il the nat
ural way TO learn to read, or talk
from u book, or tell a story second
hand. Would each child tell the
story in that way without the book ?
When we listen to story, if the
very words of the original are not
used, If as good or better are in their
place we do not reprovo the story
teller but sometimes applaud.
We would only suggest that the
children think more of the sense of
what they read, and we SO teach
them, whether at home or at school.
Some months ago, while listening
TO the exercises Of a literary society
in University, We were charmed
by n recitation from a young man
who had evidently taken many les
SONS in clocution. He entered en-
tirely into the spirit OF what he
was telling, and yet il was only
simple little story. He had been
taught to surround himself with
the sentiment, and still il was not
acting; il was reading without a
book, in natural tones. ~

Prof. Tice on McteOroIOgy !.

1t was the privilege Of the writer
to attend two Of the three lectures
given last week by Prof. Tice, Of
Missouri, on Meteorology. II was
his loss, that he failed Of hearing
all, SO suggestive Of new and plaus-
ible explanations were they upon a
subject Of universal interest, which
has always been beset with much
mystery.
His first evening, in response 10
what might be expected to be the
desire Of our people, was given TO
Tornados; and his chief point with
reference TO them was, that they
were not referable to the same cate
CORY with the wind, as commonly
understood, or, outpoured air, IN q
bcdience to gravity seeking its level.

gether with il, or otherwise were
ovcrhorne in the melee, This con-
dition Of things postulated, the
consequences are what might be
looked for certainly,
How this changed electrical con-
dition of body OF vapor, or the
withdrawal of It's Insulation, may
como about is not SO clear. IL
thunder however be rightly defined
to he the report of an explosion of
gases taking place in the air, It is
perhaps not altogether SO w6amil-
iar un affair The connection of
tomados with earthquakes, these
prcsmptively, dependent upon GER
tain chemical changes and evolu-
tons within the cafth's crust sug-
gestS a possible subtcrmnian source
of influence, And earthquakes and
tornados we know do accompany
one another However,, as to all
this theorising about ultimate cause
the speaker left his auditors open
eyed but rovcrent observers OF
deep mystery; as indeed is becom-
ing in us always when in natural
science We direct our glass fur on
toward the ultimate of things.
From tornados the lecturer pass
ed to ordinary thmder-storms;
holding both to be alike of electric
nj origin, and dependent upon local
conspiring conditions; not, an inn
portation, conspiciously were hail
storms and tornados alike.
The third evening Of tho co .se
was devoted TO Tmdo-winds, and
Monsoons; with regard to whose
cause what to tho writer was Nh en-
tircly novel explanation was given;
in the course of which illustrative
meteorological charts wcre used.
The explanation Of these phcnom-
ena seemed given as something
original with the Professor; and
was certainly very plausible. p.

lIorcat, ~ the way, was the point
OF Importance for the lawyers in
the inswmcc-smt of j. Spenslcy
now pending Many were the ance-
dotcS, drawn from 4 wide circle of
observations, with which the lee
turcr Interested his audience upon
this head The singular skippmgs
Of the meteor, overlooking and lcav-
mg unhWt what dramatically lay
equally with other things in its
way, was forcibly presented; as
showing marked elective tendency
ON its part, not to be accounted for
except upon the supposition of its
electrical nature. Examples ofthis
might have been drawn in plenty
from the record of our tornado of
1873. Some remarkable instances
from other sources, were named of
trail substances, such as shingles,
penetrating hard wood by thcirnar-
row edge, wholly unblunted, the
like, somewhere of II bamboo cane
of considerable length; and instan-
ees Of glass being pmctured; but
not shattered, by small missiles
having extraordinary velocity given
them, 4 velocity thus proved to
be like that of rifle bullet, and
far transcending that of any gale, ut
whatever height observed. The
course of the meteor not obeying
lines of least resistance, would also
have been fact in point which the
record of our tornado would have
supplied, The circumstance, SEEM
ingly looking the other way, which
the experience of several here sug-
gests, to-wit; that to be in II
cellar, and SO out Of tho wind, was
to be secure from the force of the
destroyer, was in some way bal
lanced by sundry instances quoted
by the lecturer, of the contents of
wells being wholly heaved out by
passing tornados; the same of the
contents of shafts in certain cais-
sons; and of deeply buried rocks of
large size being heaved out Of their
earthly beds and transported.
Perhaps one may venture il, that
the line of demarcation between the
differently electrified areas of earth
and air is not cut with uniform
cleanness ut the very surface. Ger
tain localities hereabouts, one may
say, give evidence of standing over
centres Of special chemical inAu.

This thought, by the way, that
there are over the earth more or less
migratory foci Of electrical attrac-
tion or repulsion which determine
high or low barometer,was through
out the keynote Of Prof. Tees phil
osophy of weather changes. The
grand movements Of the atmosphere
are divided by him into down
rushings and up-rushings at differ
ent points. The former marked by
high barometer, the latter by low.
Wind he makes to be the com
merce between the two. This al
ternate diving and soaring he holds
TO be true also Of the great currents
Of the ocean. What seems princi-
pally to distinguish his views is,
that what others refer to displaced
gravity he refers to tendency Of an
electrical nature.
The thought is suggested that if
the professor were a resident of our
region he would likely see an un-
derlying truth in dowsing. Mack

TWO WAYS OF PU THING IT The sultan awoke with a stifed scream; Ills nerves were shocked by a fearful
 dream; An omen of terrible import and doubt His teeth in one moment all fell out. His wisemen assembled at break of day, And stood by the throne in solemn array And when the terrible dream was told, Each felt sh0dder, his blood ran cold, And all stood silent. in fear and dread, And wondering what was best 10 be said. IA length an old soothsayer, wrinkled anc
 gray. Cried. " Pardon. mr I.rl what ] have to
 say. 'Tis an omen of sorrow sent from on
 high: Thou shalt see all thy kindred die" Wroth was the sultan; he gnashed his
 teeth, And his very words seemed to hiss and
 seethe, As he ordered the wiseman bound with
 chains, And gave him 8 hundred stripes for his
 pains. The wisemen shook as the sultan's eye Swept round to see who next would try; But one of them stepping before the
 throne, Exclaimed, in loud and joyous. tone " Exult, O head of a happy State! Rejoice, O hear of a glorious fate! !" For this is the favor thou shalt win, o sultan-to outlive all thy kinn' Pleased was the sultan, and called slave, And hundred crowns to the wiseman
