How curious is the sequence OF logic in the
human mind, (says an Arconaut writer). A
young lady without any arms is doing feat'
with her feet in the big brick building on
Market street, from which ST. Ignatius Loyola
has withdrawn his patronage. The utter
dearlh Of amusement has drawn many TO see
this incomplete young person, who usually find
their pleasure in the higher walks OF life and
the armleSs business has quite looked up. A
most undenabe swell was among the ihrong
OF visitors last Thursday. He followed the
armless lady's maneuvres with considerable
interest, but with no amusement whatever.
When she removed mote from her eye with
her great toe, OF abstraotedly scratched her ear
OF her nose with il, it did no, strike him as
being anything funny, and he looked with
mild wonder at those of us who laughed. But
after long study of the armless woman. who,
by the way, is not an unpleasant sight at all,
and who only looks as il she had folded her
arms firmly behind her and was playing with
her toes for her own amusement. an idea struck
him. Turning to his companion, he asked I;
II an itching nose attack an ordinary woman
who has her hands in the dough, OF is other
wise absorhmgly employed, she rubs her nose
ON the outer covering Of the Saypo. Do YOU
think this person, in such an emergency, would
be obliged to alay the irritation, il her toes
were already engaged, by rubbing il on the
outer covering Of the fbaki -

clned to disagree with Mr.. Poole when he
says that "books lose their individuality by

disadvantage; ii also reduces the usefulness OF

Never attempt to classify books on your

SIR ". Thomson on Eferfricdf Disbursements
The Glasgow Philosophical Society met
recently, DIR Henry Muirhead presiding. Sir
William Thomson read a paper on A
Measurement OF Electric Currents and poten.
tials The subject, he said, was one OF great
practical Importance to electricians at the
present day. The measurement of electrical
subject in connection with telegraphy, and it
was remarkable and interesting fact, and one
which those engaged in practical electricity
might take pleasure in contemplating, that
Impractical work had now reacted on thela
atories. Whereas before 1865 there had been
scarcely such thing as definite measurement
of electrical currents and potentials in scientific
laboratories, the growth of telegraphy had
brought out the imperative necessity for a
system of measurements in some definite
units, and the practical applications of cleo
ileity had g, some me on SO very rapidly that
tifc measure to give definite and accurate
measurement. He had been greatly impressed
at the Electrical Exhibition in Vienna with the
want of instruments of measurement, which
could be both definite and approximately
accurate. Before long, however, they would
likely have instruments that would give
the measured results with almost uner-
ring accuracy up to certain percent
age. Sir William then explaineq at great
length two instruments of his own invention
namely, graded current meter for measuring
currents of electricity, and graded potential
meter for measuring the intensity ofthe electro
motive forces. In the case of the latter, he
showed the method OF adjusting the instrument
so that its indications should correspond to
round numbers OF electro motive force. He
also illustrated the lecture by exhibiting and
referring to Simens electro-dynamometer and
Simens Watt meter, the latter being a novel
instrument for measuring work done in gener-
atng electric curents-for example, those
which produce the electric light. Glasgow

AT the rooms Of the San Francisco Young
Mems Christian Association recently, an inter
es,ing lecture was delivered by Rev. a. ]. Frost,
his subject being, Lying as Fine AIT. Mr..
Frost took for his text the proverb, 'Buy the
truth and sell it not lie commenced by as
serting that Gods ways were ways Of truth,
that justice and judgment are the habitation Of
His throne, and as God is absolutely true in
nature, His word must he truth. Assuming
that men do not lie for the mere sake Of lying,
he stated that falsehood, direct and andindirect,
was becoming alarmingly frequent or course
absolute truth cannot always be expected, by
reason Of the limited comprehension OF impcr
feet knowledge Of the subject involved, but the
law of vcracity requires us to make our state
ments conform to our conception Of the subject,
and to utter what we believe to be the truth.
| The speaker gave several illustrations of the
possibility Of a man telling an untruth without
meaning 10, OF bis being mistaken in his facts,
which he gave out for the truth; yet he did not
lie, for the intent was honest. a lie told was
an intention to deceive. He made the dis
tincion between an untruth and a lie, that the
one was negatively false and the other posi-
lively and purposely false. The same rule
practically applies to the difference between a
falsehood and lie. Dcceiying by the tongue
is called lie, while stimulation by looks, acts
and gestures is called hypocrisy. Plato held
that it was lawful for statesmen to lie, and
Cicero and plutarch held the same view,
which seems to be held by many modern states
men. No vice is so common as that Of lying,
and none so universally condemned. The
Devil is called the "Father Of Lies and he
has many children. Men even swear upon the
Bible, and swear against it. The lecturer
quoted at length from the poets and authors or
the subject OF lying, to sustain his views, and
then described the various kinds Of lying most
in vogue. These were the violation Of a
solemn promise which he classified as prom
issory lying !" the violation of confidence
directly or 10y insnuation; benevolent lies,
done by proiessedly pious people for jusiiiabl,
ends ON the ground that the end justihcs the
means; "lies Of convenience" which more
especially pertain to the so-called socia
Amenities "lies of self interest" told in one'
self.defense for his personal advancement
"white lies, "whichare lies in their midest form
and are like "mik of the first water;" mali
cous lies, uttered for the express purpose o
injurng your neighbor; 'wanton lies, told 10
the mere sake Of lying, and practical lies,
not only uttered put acted. San F,me'So

Commodore Dayilson,s Rink.

Last evening Commodore Davidson's great
rink, on Fourth street opposite the GLOBE
building, was opened under favorable cir
cumstances, except as to the sharp weather
which prevailed outside. The building itself
has been described in these columns, and the
particulars of its dimensions or arrangement
need not be repeated at this time. II GER
tainly is very large building, and it requires
great many people TO make much of an
impression. Considering the harsh weather
outside, an unexpectedly large number of
people were out last night to witness the
opening Of the Institution and TO participate
In the skating. The Great Western band
occupied the platform at the north end of the
rink, and were down on the printed pro-
gramme for fourteen selections, which they
gave with that good style and taste for which
they are so celebrated, consisting of marches,
waltzes, gallops, polkas, etc. As large as
the surface of the floor is, 1t was none too
large for those in attep dance, who filed it
from one end to the other. The superiority
Of this rink over all others is not alone in
the size, but also in the floor, which is the
most marked feature of the institution. The
floor is backed with solid concrete, which
gives it the required soldi and at the same
time oeadens the sound of the rollers so that
music can be heard with distlnctness and
