silence.

Looking around on the noisy in
anity of the world, words with little
meaning, actions with little worth,
one loves to reflect on the great Eui-
pire of Silence. The noble silent men
scattered here and there each in h S
department, silently thinking, sill ntly
working, whom no morning paper
makes mention of! They are the salt
of the earth. A country who has
none or few of these is in bad way.
Like forest which has noroots; which
has all turned into leaves and boughs;
which must soon wither and be no
forest. Woe for us if we had nothing
but what we can show or speak.
Silence, that great Empire of Silence
higher than the stars; deader than the
kingdoms of deathl 1t alone is great;
all else is small--lCarly.c.

The Mystery Of Exchange.

We presume that most Of ouI
readers are aware that the quotation
Of foreign exchange represents pre-
MUM considerably in excess of the
actual fact; but we doubt whether all
of them know what is the difference.
BY the usage Of bankers. the old Span
isl, dollar is assumed as the par Of ex-
ciian-e. 81 sterling being equal to
4 4-9 Of these dollars. In point If fact,
however, in the established moneys d
Great Britain and the United States.
Rl sterling contained as much gold as
"a 81 Of .. 5. money; and this is the
true par of exchange or rate which
must be used in converting the money
Of one country into that Of another.
For instance, If anything costs 9lO0
i. Great Britain. its true value ex-
pressed in the money Of the United
States is $4S7. Accordingly, il is a
fact, familiar to all bankers, that when
exchange is quoted at 1921. there is
no real premium, but the true par has
been attained; because, if we multiply
$4.34 4-9, which is the nominal par
by lO9a, which is then the quoted rate,
we get $4.S7, which is the true par
We need scarcely add that it is owing
to this circumstance that the exports
of gold from the United States are moi
large. If there really existed such a
heavy premium on bills Of exchange.
as many persons suppose, it would I've
immensely profitable to export gold to
Great Britain. In point of fact, in
view of the necessary expenses of
freight, insurance, and loss Of inter-
est, the margin does not more than
cover the risk. The u. s. haf-eagle. it
may be added, contains 1l6 grains of
pure gold, equivalent to So; the Brit sh
sovereign, or pound sterling, l13
grains. equivalent to $4S7 of United
States money The Economist.

Observation
Prof. Huxley. y


No line can be drawn between COM
mon knowledge Of things and scienti-
fic knowledge, nor between common
reasoning and scientific reasoning.
In strictness all accurate knowledge
is science, and all exact reasoning Is
scientific reasoning. The method Of
observation and experiment in which
such great results are obtained in
science is identicaIly the same as that
which is employed by every one every
day Of his life. but refined and render
ed precise. If a child acquires new
toy, he observes its character and ex-
perifnents on its properties, and we
are all of US constantly making OBJ
servations and experiments upon one
thing or another. But those who
have never tried to observe accurately
will be surprised to fnd how difficult
a business it is. There is not one
person in hundred who can describe
the commonest occurrence with even
an approach to accuracy. That is to
say, either he will omit something
which did occur and which is Of i'm
portance. or he will imply or suggest
the occurrence of something which be
did not actually observe, but which
he unconsciously infers must have
happened. When two truthful wit
nesses contradict Que another in a
court of justice. it usually turns out
that one or the other, or sometimes
both, are cnntounding their inferences
from what they saw with that which
they actually saw. A swears that B
picked his pocket. 1t turns out that
all A knows is that he felt a hand in
his pocket when B was close to him.
and that b was not the thief. but G,
whom he did not observe. Unframed
observers mix up together their infer
ences from what they see with that
VIII ch they actually see in the most
wonderful way, and even experienced
aud careful observers are in Constant
danger of falling into the same error.
Scientific observation is such as is at
once full, precise and free from uncon-
scloas inference.

The celebrated Valley of the Roses,
in the neighborhood of KezanIik, in
Roumelia, offers this year, according
to correspondence from PhillopopoI
the spectacle of an immense sea OF
f'wers which promises a plentiful
crop. The valley of kezanlik is
specially given up to the cultivation
of the roses employed in the manufac-
ture of the otto so renowned in Con-
stantinople and other countries. The
aspect of these forests Of roses in un-
rivaled; nothing but roses Of all colors
from the plain to the summit of the
hill. 1t is fiowery land whose per-
fumes spread in the air for miles. The
principal purchasers of the crops are
Englishmen and Russians They have
arrived in numbers with many tourists
rambling through the Balkan mouu-
tains. The taxes raised on the gath
ering of roses is an important item in
the Roumelian budget.
