Sir G. Wyville Thomson.

The name of Sir Charles Wyville
Thomson is inseparably associated with
the first explorations of the depths OF the
ocean, and with having proved that
abundant forms of animal life lived there
where it had been believed that only a
few scattering organisms were able to
maintain an isolated and precarious ex-
jstenee. Professor Thomson was born
at Ronsyde. Dinlithgowshire, Scotland,
March ;, 1880, and died on the 10th OF
March, 1882 His father was n surgeon
i'm the service of the East India Com
pany, and spent most of his life abroad.
His grandfather was a distinguished
clergyman of Edinburg; and his great
grandfather was Principal Clerke oi
Chaneellary'' in the time of the Rebel
lion of 1745. He went to school at Maf-
chiston Castle Academy, which was then
conducted by Mr.. Charles Chalmers, q
brother of the eminent Rev. DR.. Chain
ers, after which he entered the medical
course of the University of Edinbur9, in
1S45. After three years of study here,
he began to feel the effects of overwOrk,
and, as q means of gaining years rest,
we are told, he took the lectureship on
botany in Queens Colleg1, Aberdeen.
In the following year he was appointed
to lecture on the same subject in Maris-
cal College and University. In 1858 he
WIS chosen to the professorship of Nat
ural History in the Queens College.

of Mineralogy and Geology in Queen

LIVERPOOL. March 31-At the exami-
nation to-day.of the men who were ar
rested for carrying dynamite, it was put
in as evidence that letter was found on
Dennis Deasey commanding him to the
other conspirator Patrick Flanagan, as a
person who might be intrusted with any
post OF duty. At FlaEagan's lodgings a
variety of explosives were discovered be
sides a revolver, false beand and other
equipments for dynamite war and dis
guise. The most interesting evidence
gtven during the examination was that of
expert scientific witnesses. who testified
that the explosive material in question was
known as lignine dynamite an article that
could not by any possibility be connected
with commercial or business transactions
and which was not made for any legitimite
purpose. Flanagan interrupted the pro-
ceedings with pointed question: ''It is
material similar to what shook the house
of commons, is it not? Prisoner was re
manded for a week

Dr. Franzius finds that the tooth most
often affected by decay is the third mo-
lar, such cases forming one-haf of the
total number The teeth begin to decay
in certain successive order, the lower
third molar being first attacked, then
the upper, then the lower fourth molar,
and so on, the incisors and the canine
teeth of the lower jaw being the last
reached. The upper teeth are more
durable than the lower in the proportion
OF three to two. The right teeth show a
greater vitality than the left. The dura-
bility of teeth is less in light persons
than in dark, and less in tall than in
short persons. These results were OBJ
tanned b. an examination of 620 Russian
soldiers. of whom 25S had bad teeth.

IMPORTANT DRCISION

CHICAGO. March 31--The supreme
court of Illinois, with full bench assent
ing, have just filed an opinion, declaring
in substance that the Pullman Car Co.
and other like corporations are common
carriers placing them in the same cate
CORY as railroad companies. This is cen
trary to decision by the same tribunal
some years ago, and aff1rms the principle
that the present state legislature has en-
deavored to embody in statute suit
brought by Luke Nevin against the car
company for refusing to allow him to oc-
cupy sleeping berth assigned him, which
he offered TO pay for. The lower courts
decided that plaintiff had no power to en-
force accommodations from the car com
pany, and that it was optional on its part
to furnish the same. The court asserts
that running sleeper becomes a business
and social necessity, and in this view of
the law can impose obligations on the
company. the same as on railways, ferry
men and innkeepers.
