Fallaeies OF the Learned.

Sir Thomas Browne, in his Vulgar
Errors" enumerates vast number of
amusing mistakes, which owe their
origin not so much to the ignorance OF
the people at large as to the strange
wrong-headedness of individual men Of
learning.
Seneca, Claudian, Basil, Augustine,
Gregory, Jerome, and perhaps Thucy-
dides, agreed in the belief that crystal
is simply ice strongly CONCEALED; and
such men as Scaliger, Albertus Magnus
and Brassavolus assented to the propo-
sition. 1t is, however, but fair to say
that there were always opponents to this
theory. As for astronomical and geo.
graphical iallacies, their name is legion.
Xenophanes asserted that the earth had
no bottom, Thales Milesus averred that
it f1oated in water, and almost every
old writer had his own pet craze about
the problem. Eusebius Nierembergius,
learned Spaniard, had his own private
craze. He imagined that the human
body, left to turn as il would, would
always point its head to the north;
and it is hard to understand how this
and most of the other fallacies connected
with the loadstone escaped detection by
experiment.
That the diamond may be broken or
softened by the blood of a goat was at
one time matter of almost universal
belief. Pliny, Solinus, Albertus, Isidore,
Augustine and Cyprian ali express their
faith in it.
1t may astonish some people to learn
how wrong-headed even Aristotle was
in similar matters. He asserted, among
other things, that vessel full Of ashes
will contain as much water as it will
when empty; and in another passage he
states, with perhaps q greater show of
reason, that bolts and arrows grow red
hot in the course of rapid fight through
the air. This, however, is, we know,
Incorrect. A candle may be fired from
q gun so as to pass through q board;
and although u leaden bullet or an iron
ball may splash and even melt upon
impact on a hard substance, il is not the
motion, but the sudden arrest of that
motion, which generates the recrssary
amount of heat. Another common arti-
Gle of belief with ancient sages was that
coral is soft under water, and only hard
ems when exposed to the air. The anne
thyst was said to prevent drunkenness a
diamond placed beneath wife's pillow
was supposed to betray her intidelity;
the sapphire was considered preserva-
tive against entertainments; and the
smoke of the agate was relied on to
avert tempest. Most ofthe writers of
the middle ages believed that cinnamon,
ginger, cloves and nutmegs are tho
produce ofthe same tree; that the bay,
the fig-tree, eagles and sealskins afford
protection from lightning; and that the
use of bitter almonds is an effeotual
guard against intoxication.

We'd laugh to see them pass us by;
If cunning forged a subtle lie,

And foil our ioes-lny heart and I.
When beauty, blushing sweet and shy,
Would, unaware,
Pierce my warm heart with glances sly
We'd shun the snare.
Old trout avoid the anglers fly,
And faithless hearts would vainly try
To separate my heart and 1.
