The Fascination Ut Science.

Mark Twain dlsposes of some Of tho
modern scientific methods in the follow
ing very true and effective way: Sin tho
space of one hundred and seventy.six
years the lower Mississippi has shortened
Itself Two hundred aud forty-two miles.
This is an average of trA, over one and
one-third miles per year. Therefore, any
calm person who is not blind or idlotic
can see that in the old oolltic Silurisn
period, just one million years ago next
November, the lower Mississippi river was
upward Of one million three hundred
thousand miles long, and stuck out over
the Gulf OF Mexico like tshing-rod.
Aud by the same token any person eau SEQ
that seven hundred and foIty-two years
from now the lower Mississippi will be
only mile and three.quArters long, and
Cairo aud New Orleans will have joined
their streets together and be plodding
comfortably along under single mayor
and board of aldermen. There il some
thing fascinating about science. Oas
gets such wholesome returns Of con lecture
out of such trihlng investment OF. fact"

And nurse is cross and grum,
And things go wrong, and mother signs
For brief moment baby cries.
Then HES him to his thumb.
Once in his red mouth safely set,
Embraced by each small gum,
Though storms may rage and rulers fret,

And how would they succumb,
Had not kind nature everywhere.
