Hang,

MEXICO, Mo-, June l9.-To-day, when
Wesley Collins in Jail here for the murder
of Utterback in Pike county, was appriscd
OF the fact that the Supreme Court had re-
versed and remanded his case for new
trial, he was unusually bright and cheerful,
and said he had always been hopeful that he
would not hang, as every sober-thnking per.
son who knew the facts in the case agreed
with him that the killing was justihable.
Collins was sentenced TO be hanged in May
At Bowling Green, but his case was taken to
the>Supreme Court with the above result,
and much doubt is now expressed as to
whether he will ever he gibbeted. Sheriff
Woodward says Collins has always been Of
a cheerful disposition, and has given him
less trouble than any other prisoner in his
charge.

Scientific SchOla rshlp.

What, then, are the tests Of true SCI
entific scholarship? Tho answer can be
made perfectly plain and Ineligible.
The real test is the power to study and
interpret natural phenomena. As in
classical scholarship the true test Of at
tainment is the power 20 interpret the
delicate shades of meaning expressed
by the classical authors, so in science
the true test is the power TO read and
interpret Nature; and this last power,
like the other, can as a rule only be ac-
quired by careful and systematic train
ing. As some men have remarkable
facility for acquiring languages. so also
there are men who seem to be born in
vestigators Of Nature;.but by most men
such powers can only be acquired
through a careful training and exercise
of the faculties of tie mind, on which
success depends. No man would be re-
garded as q classical scholar, however
broad and extended his knowledge, il
that knowledge had been acquired sole
ly by reading English translations Of
the classical authors, however excellent.
So. no man can be regarded as a scien-
tific scholar whose knowledge Of Ma
ture has been solely derived from books.
In either case the real scholar must
have been TO the fountain-head and
drawn his knowledge from the original
sources In order, then, 10 discover
how scientific culture must be gained,
we must consider the conditions on
which the successful study and inter
probation OF Nature depend. --Pror j. p.
Cooke, in Popular Science Monthly.
