ishing than the telephone. The new in
strument, which the inventor, Prof. Bell,

agency of light, In this exquisite instru-
ment the means used to accomplish this

powerful beam of lights caught upon this
mirror, directed against another mirror at
a distant station and concentrated upon a
simple disk of hard rubber fixed as dia-

disk to vihrate with sufficient power TO
produce audible results and reproduce the

teachers, he thought as highly of their cour
age as II they were fighting for their country,
and he prayed Heaven that he, too, might one
day Join these noble contests and carry of
new corners from the boats in which they
landed.
The professors, too, were proud of the ex-
ploits of their pupils, and regarded the wounds
which they showed in class as a proof of the
love borne them.
In course of time, however, the professors
found it necessary to make common cause
with one another, and entered into certain
agreements for their common interest. As
time went on these agreements embraced
more and more particulars, until, at length,
the body of instructors formed a university.
The students were no longer attached to one
professor only, but sought for instruction
from each in his own branch.
From that time the practice of hazing and
seizlng new corners had no significance, and
the custom has been unknown in Europe for
centuries. In this country, also, it is dying
out, and is no doubt destined soon to pass
away. That it should have kept up so long
is a curious instance of the survival of a
practice after the circumstances in which, it
originated ceased to exist. 1t is more than a
thousand years since new students were car
ried off in the manner described by Professor
Libanius.-Cope's University Life in An

Origin OF HazinG.

In ancient times every professor was indie
pendent of the Others, and carried Oh the
business of teaching entirely on his own &C
count.
In a city like Constantinople, Athens or
Marseilles there would be, perhaps, four or
five professors of about the same standing
and celebrity, between whom there would be
a feeling of rivalry, in which their students
would sympathize.
Many of the young men, who were partic-
ularly devoted to learning, would be enthu-
siastic partisans of their professor, and would
exert themselves to the utmost in procuring
for them new students and increased fees.
When a young man arrived to pursue his
studies, they would meet him at the shore,
bear him off to the house of one of his coun-
trymen, and use every means, fair and foul,
to get him to join their class.
Sometimes they resorted to violence. Prof.
Libanius, who fiourished about A. ID. $50,
tells us how he Jared when he arrived at the
city of Athens to pursue his studies. After
the dangers of a voyage from C~onstantinople,
he was seized on the landing by a band OF
students and kept in confinement until he
had aiken an oath to join the class vi theiI
professor.
And the worst of it was the professor
proved to be very incompetent. But il he
Uibanius) presumed to c~riticise, or even j
he failed TO join their rapturous applause, the
scowls of the class notified him that he wa
exercising a ,ery dangerous freedom.
So hot was the rivalry between professor
and classes that the town was sometimes in
continual riot, Q the professors dared ho
walk the streets unless escorted by a band O
their partisans. And just as, in moderI
times, hazihg is thought to be a fine thing, 81
| these contests betweeen rival classes had
kind Of romantic attraction to students med
itating a course of study.
The same Professor Libanins records tina
when, as a young man, he heard OF fightin
in tue streets of Athens among the students
of the clubs, stones and swords used, and q

diminutive offspring in its arms, holding it
just as a human mother would have done,
and nursing it. Anybody knows how a mon
key looks with a dwarfish, bent-up body, and
a face like a British tourist, but a baby mon
key is simply the same hideous thing con-
densed and intensified. Yet in the little
