EDALIA WEEKLY BAZOO TUESDAY, MARCH q, 1883.

most persons this clue would not have
to much. But the professor
knew what to do. He was determined
to find out the reckless stndent. and he
brought his mathematical know ledg
into play. knowing the breadth of
the room, he measured the fall of
the ball in cross ing il. Then he meas
ured the distance from his house tn
the West divinity building. With
these data, and knowing the curve
which a bullet takes, he CO imputed the
height from which the bullet was
fired upon the very window from
which the bullet must have come.
The next day two students were
greatly surprised by a call from the
professor, who accused them of firing
the shot. They denied it, and the
professor gave his proof. The proof
was SO strong that the, finally admit
ted their guilt. Yesterday they were
told to vacate their rooms. They will
receive no other punishment.

Actors as Cnurch-G oers.

New i"Ik Letter.
As a rule actors are not church-gO-
ers, and considering how some preach
ers talk about them, their neglect of
church-going can hardly be wondered
at. do not mean that all actors
stay away from church, but large
number, if not tie majority, certainly
do. 1t is rarely that a man or Woman
Of prominence on the stage is seen in a
place of worship. Even the Little
Church around the Corner, which the
profession regards with more favor
than any other, for reasons very well
known, has very few theatrical people
IN its congregation. The pastor. Rev.
DIR. Houghton, has a friendly feeling
toward actors in general. yet they do
not go to his church except on some
special occasion, such rs wedding or
4 funeral. From what have observ-
ed. | should say that the Catholics in
the profession attend church mere
regularly than any others, and next
those who nominally belong to the
Episcopal church. But the att nd
ance all told is small, and though the
number of people in the profession is
continually increasing. the proportion
of church goers does not increase. 1t
does not follow, however, that people
of the stage show any marked contrast
to their neighbors in respect of morals
and 80 on. those who come in contact
with them off the stage find them very
much like other people in general
character. They conduct themselves
as decently, live as respectfully, and
show themselves entitled to as much
regard every way as people of the
same means in other callings. This
may seem unnecessary to say, but
having spoken of actors as non-church
goers it is proper to present the other
side to prevent a wrong impression as
to motive.

Bursting Boys.


London Standard.
The long deluge Of rain TO which so
many districts have been subjected has
resulted in misfortune curiously char
acteristic of the regions in which they
occur. Switzerland, for example, has
been harrassed by iandsIips. Germany
and Hungary have been desoIated by
foods. and now il is the turn of ire
land to add TO her other unhappiness
the peculiar calamity ofbursting boys.
Already We are told that several
thousand acres in the vicinity of Cas-
tlerea are submerged. mills are stop
ped, bridges are choked, fields are COW
cred to the depth of twenty-six feet,
and traffic on the road between Bel
lingare and Castierea has been sus-
pended by the overflow of a moss"
flooded by the rain until it has broken
IFS bounds, and is now advancing rap
idly towards the town. The bog at
Baslik, which moved some time ago,
is also brt aking up in several places,
and threatens before long to begin its
march on the arab bic country in the
neighboring loWlands. Such nnishaps
are. unfortunately. too common in
Ireland. Last June a large bog Oh
the Wistropp estate, in East Clare,
began to crawl to the southwark, car.
rying before it several patches of re-
claimed land, planted with potatoes,
and destroying portion of the main
road to Limerick. A few years ago
some laborers working in a field in
Galway heard "a noise like thunder"

their phrase, of the black ooze of
moving bog By and by. the wit
nesses of this strange sight were driven
from the field which they were cult
waiting; and before the lava-like stream
ceased its progress, two cOrn-felds, .
potato patch, and a considerable tract
of pasture land were inundated. The
bursting of the Solway morass, more
than century ago, is a case even
more familiar, for this vast morass, sat
urated by unprecedentedly heavy
rains. left its beds and covered four
hundred acres of farms to such a depth
that seversl cottages were buried, and
a further number SO far entombed
that the roofs alone appeared above
the dreary expanse of liquid peat.
When the inundation ceased it was
found that the original level of the bog
in is own area had sunk twenty-five
feet, and that in the lowest ground
which it had invaded as much as fit-
teen feet of turfy substance had been
deposited. Again, in 1881, bog of
one hundred acres, between Blooms
field and Greevah, in Sligo, burst, and

of arabic land, cut up the ground
into deep ravines and carried away the

These instances could be multiplied
almost indefinitely. But they have
all one feature in common-they are
invariably caused simply BY the vast
turf deposits receiving more water
than they can hold. and consequently
breaking their banks and moving
down to the lower levels.

TnERE is a set of fanatics in England who
denounce vaccination and preach up email
pex, but the statistics are too strong for them.
In recent debate in P Parliament Sir Lyon
Playfair showed that vaccination was intro-
duced into the kin gdom at the beginning of
this century. In forty years the death-rais
in England from smallpox had fallen from
5000 per 100000 to 900 per 100000. In
1S41 the government began 10 give gratui-
tous vaccination, and in thirteen yesrs the
average mortality had come down 10 305 per
100000. Then vaccination was made COM
pulsory, and in 1871 the mortality had fallen
sgsin to 22S per 1000. 900. In the years
187l-73, when true compulsion was in force,
only 156 per 100000 was the mortality
rate. Scotland and Ireland show decline
in the average mortality, only 10 a greater
degree, for in Scotland, in 1882, the ratew was
only per 100000.
