The Proctor Lecture,

At Bancroft hall Monday night was hand
somely attended, and the many startling
revelations concerning the sun, which
were made by the eminent English as
tronomer, were eagerly absorbed by a
very large proportion of Emporia's
most intelligent citizens. There was
considerable disappointment occasioned
by the fact that through some misunder-
standing, the Professor chose the sun
instead of the moon, for the theme
of his disquisition. The inhabitants
of the earth feel a sort
of a proprietary interest in
our silvery satellite which the solar orb
fails to inspire, and there are tender and
poetic associations connected with Luna,
which the garish light OF day dispel
with relentless potency. This sense of
chagrin, however, will doubtless be
promptly mitigated by the reflection
that, in default of scientific enlighten-
ment, the pretext for pleasant specula-
ton regarding 1.-The inconstant moon,
which monthly changes in her circled
orb" remains intact, and may be pur-
sued with new zest from the time-honor-
ed stand-points which have been en-
ployed with such satisfactory results to
the vendors Of gatc-hinges and the lovers
of popular astronomy.
1t would be manifestly impossible to
convey even an idea, by the mere exer-
else of memory, of the stupendous facts
adduced by the lecturer in the elucida-
ton of his subject. The vastness of the
comparisons employed to convey to the
mind of the hearer some remote concep-
ton of the distance of the sun from the
earth; the intensity OF the light and
heat which 1t emits; the infinite chaos
of its atmospheric disturbances, are all
too limitless for the untutored mind,
and can only be adequately appreciated
by those who, like the speaker, dwell
amid the stars.
Professor Proctor has q manner OF
presenting his subject TO his audience
in style that renders it comparatively
easy to follow him, the scientific intri.
cacies through which his line of research
leads, being greatly lessened by the
plain, descriptive style adopted by him
This, supplemented by the illustrations
produced with the aid Of 9 magic Ian
tern, made his lecture highly instruct i've
and enjoyable.
