A government functionary in St.
Petersburg, living in the outskirts of
that city, died, Sew weeks since, in n =
ter desti;ution, leaving behind him,
motherlesc and without friends or rela-
tions, two little children-one boy of
seven and the other girl of three.
Lei in the house alone, without money
or food, the boy did not know what to
do to get bread for his sister. At last,
urged BY the little one'sxtesrs, he wrote
on piece of paper,-
"Please, God, send me three copecks
"a penny to buy little sister q roll,"
and went the nearest church 10 slip
it in the alms-box. believing in the sim
plicity that the prayer would reath
heaven through this medium.
A priest passing by observed the child
on tiptoe trying to thrust the paper in,
and taking tle paper from him, read
the message. Returning homeswith the
child, he took the little ones to his house
and gave them the food and clothing
they SO much Needed. The following
Sunday he preached a sermon on chart
ty, In which he referred to the incident,
aud afterward went round the church
with plate. When the offerings were
counted it was found that the congrega-
ti0n had given one hundred and fifty
roubles or nearly one thousand dollars.

.Absstrdttfes of Science.

"There are some who seem to mag
ine," Mr.. Proctor remarks, othat science
mot be truly called science unless 1t
Is clothed In sesqnipedpalian words, or,
to alser the metaphor, that the scientific
field should be preserved from the outer
world by, ,sesquipedal verbal stakes. For
instance, say That the mean equatorial
horizontal solar parallax is approximate
ly equal to 8.S8 inches Of arc" and you
preserve the dignity Of science; but say
that at the sums distance the earth
would look no larger than aone inch
globe 324 yards away and though you
have IN effect said the same thing, you
have degraded science by making 1t in
telligible to those who have not time to
learn The meaning of some thousands of
technical expressions, beneath which 1t
has pleased the students of natures laws
to hide their meaning.
For my own part venture to express
very coDfide ntly my beliefthat the use
Of technical expressions, save for the de-
finite purpose of abridging scientific
statements addressed to scientific men,
Is a trick worthy only Of the sciolIst, and
only excUsable (not justifi able, be it re-
marked, )when man of science chances
20 be, as unfortunately many are, inarti-
culate. I'll ese remarl ave been srg-
gested by an amazing article on "Human
Osteology" in the columns Of Nature, q
journal professedly Intended, inter ALA,
for the distribution of scientific knowl-
edge among those who have not time
for scientific research or for the mastery
Of scientific technIcalities.
What Is the general reader likely to
n ':e OF such statements as the follow
lag? BUsbmen, while mesaticephalic,
platyrhine, n,croseme, microcephalic,
are as regards the upper jaw, not pro-
gnathous ortho2natbous; the skulls of
The African negroes a-e dolichocepphalic
mesocsphalic, plognathous, platyrhine
and mesomene; while the Andamese are
bTachycephalic, microcephaiic, mesogna-
thous, mesorhine and megaseme. r
Why rot say that Bushmen are round
beaded, wide postrilled, lsmall-faced,
small-headed and straight jawed; the
African negroes longheaded, wide nos
tlils, medium sized head, .ojecting
jaws and small faced, and the Andama-
nese broadheaded, with small heads,
moderately projecting jaws, noltrils of
medium size and large facep OF course,
In addressing gathering of anthropolo-
glsts the technical terms wonld be suit
able, and In fact Necessary, but knowl-
edge loses ninety-niDe hundredtfs of its
value aud more when thus wrapped I'D
from general ken in the napkin Of ses-
qripeda'ism."
