Yale Kent Club Lecture.

The Mound BuiIders-Lecture BY Rev.
DR.. Anderson, of Vaterbury-Interest-
ing Specimens of Relics and Pottery.
Rev DR.. Anderson, of Waterbury, deliv-
cred the fifth lecture of the Kent club course
last evening upon ''The Mound Builders,
The subject was treated in very interesting
and mastery way, the clear enunciation and
easy description of the speaker adding not a
little to its merits. Through the courtesy of
Professor Marsh a number of specimens,
consisting of relics and pottery, were loaned
from the Peabody museum for the purpose
Of illustration. The manner in which these
specimens were found and the consequent
archaeological hypothesis were explained.
These mounds or earthworks are found in
great numbers over the western country and
more particularly in Ohio. Their whole
number approximRtes ten thousand From
these monuments of prehistoric people the
most absorbing discussions of American
archaeology have arisen. Who were
this numerous people, whence did
they come and where did they
go to? These questions have been
answered in q variety of ways and have given
rise to the widest conjecture; but the more
modern researches of science seem to point
to Che conclr sion that they were but the an
cestors of the red man, who having advanced
from the roaming to the village and agricul-
tural stage of human progress, yet after all
were still in the barbarous state. The
knowledge, however, that is given by
these rude mounds, that a most numerous
people existed, toiled, felt and
suffered on this our continent, and
left no sign but the most mea-
gre data for scientific speculation fills us
at once with absorbing interest and becomes
as well the saddest commentary on this ex-
istence of ours
The court room, where the lecture was
given, was completely filed. Among the
audience were many of our professors and
professional men. The last lecture of the
Bent club course, which has been most
successful one, will be given on Monday next
by Hon. James Z. Applebee, of Boston,. on
the subject, Dickens, Sentamentalist and
Humorist.

MuscIes and Nerves.

Professor Russell H. Chtttenden's Lecture
In the Scientific Course of Lectures to
Mechanics.
Before large audience in North Sheffield
hall last evening Professor Chittenden lee
tured on muscles and nerves. He said that
muscles are synonymous with notion in
physiological sense. Very~few o: us under
stand the relation between motion and the
muscles. Power of motion will al
ways appear to be a wonderful
thing. What causes these motions?
Nearly fifty years ago discovery was made
which led to general laws regulating this mat
ter. Protoplasm is the substance of which
the muscles are composed. Each tiny mi
croscopic cell has the power of contractivity.
This IL the simplest form of motion. It is in
muscles that contraction is prominent The
motion of all animate beings is due to con-
traction. Prof. Chittenden discussed at some
length various theories and investigations
that have been held and made about these
muscles He said that in common parIance
the muscles composed the real Aesh of the
body By real flesh is meant Aesh dis
tipeuished from fat They are
all under the influence Of the
will and are thus called voluntary.
They are able to impart motion to the varied
y.
over which We have no control. The walls
of the heart are an example Of the involun-
tsry muscles. Nearly ali the channels of the
interior of the body have their. walls of
involuntary muscles. In vegetable cells We
find similar protoplasm in which motion is
produced by contraction. Each muscle is
composed of many little ibres held together
By membranes and Joined at the end to
tendons. The muscles are supplied with
blood vessels The motor nerve endings are
an important part of the muscles The
nerve fbres are connected With the
muscle fbres There is thBs a
direct communication between the BRAN
through the nerves to the muscles.
The blush which appears on the face of the
sensitive person is due to the contraction Of
the mHscle3 by which the blood is sent to the
face. Pallor, infamEstion, sore throat and
other common conditions are due to the seme
cause. The nerves require sustenance for
Eaa;r support. To noufish the body rapidly
and carry OF the waste is an important
factor. Professor ChittenSen showed how
the amount of heat generated by the muscles
doing c certain amount of work could be
measured. The lecture was illustrated by
views thrown upon canvas and was very in /
tsEestipg throughout.

The Missing Bridgeport Clergyman


The Missing Bridgeport Clergyman
Found.
The Rev. Mr.. Lyon, the missing clergyman
of Bridgeport, has not yet been heard from.
As indicated yesterday, his reported appear
ance in Atlantic City was misrepresentation.
Postmaster Knowlton, of Bridgeport,
on his return to New York, was
about to start for Atlantic City,
when he learned that the news was unreli-
able. He called upon Superintendent Wal
ling at police headquarters. The superin-
tendent was intimate with Mr.. Lyon, having
Travelled with him in the steamship Devonia
during the superintendent trip abroad with
Police Commissioner Matthews, and had al
ready force at work trying to solve the
mystery. About an hour later it was found
that the reverend gentleman had been stop
ping at the Morton House on Union
Square. The clergyman's friends at once
went to the hotel, but were told that the
clergy nan had started out for a stroll They
told the clerk that they would call again in a
few hours. When they did so they were
surprised to learn that the missing clergy
man had paid his bill and left for parts
unknown.
1t was afterward ascertained that Mr.. Lyon
put up at the Cosmopolitan Hotel. He
stopped there Thursday and Friday nights,
leaving on Saturday morning for the Morton
House. There he remained until Monday
morning.
A dispatch was received about 8 O'Clock
yesterday morning from Mr.: Knowlton,
stating that all trace of Mr.. Lyon had been
lost. Mr.. James Staples went to New York
on the o'clock train yesterday morning to
join Mr.. Knowlton in the search. Up to the
last accounts nothing further had been heard
from them.
LGter-Dr. Lyon Found In New Ork.
-BRDGEPoRT. Conn, March 18.-Rev. John
Lyon was met this afternoon near the lower
landing of the Bridgeport steamboat COM
pany in New York in dazed and exhausted
condition by Edward Mayo, of this city, and
by him brought here, arriving at 1880 p. m.
He was at once taken to the Office of Or. c.
s. Hoag, his family physician, who accom-
panied him to his residence. Dr. Hoag
states that Mr.. Lyon is suffering from great
prostration, and though answering simple
questions intelligently, his mind has by no
means recovered its tone and that for some
time it will be necessary that he be secluded
and closely watched His present symptoms
threaten development of brain fever which
il is hoped may be sverted.

MIR. John d. candee ON Mormon1sm

MIR. John ID. ande0 ON MOFmOn1Sm.
Hon. John D. Candee Iectured in Bridge
port, before the Y. M. G. association, Mon
day evening, upon the subject of Mormon
ism. Mr.. Candee has visited Utah several
times, and his talk was about those things
which he had seen and heard His descrip-
ton of Salt Lake City was most interesting.
Everything about the city, he said, gave evi.
dence of thrift and enterprise The speak r
dwelt at length upon the religious belief of
the Mormons, polygamy being its basis.
They believe that the world was created BY
Adam and he is the God of the earth. and
there are three Gods above him, Christ. Je-
hovah, and Elohim. They are people of
great faith, who believe thoroughly in their
religion. The power of the priesthood is
absolute. He said that the current reports
that the men we're british, the women sad
and morose, and the children weak and puny,
were false MIR. Candee thought as polyga-
my was the basis of Mormon religion, the
problem was difficult one to solve, his hope
being that the young Mormons would
become disguised with the system.
