A Novel Phenomenon.
Washington Star.l

At sunset, when the atmosphere is clear
and the sun unobscured, beautiful phe-
nomenon is observable from the top of the
monument. Long after the sun has
passed from view at the base it is still
Shining bright and strong against the sum-
NIT, high in air. The result is that
strong shadow of the upper part of the
monument only is projected across the
sward of the Smithsonian ground to the
eastward. Of course, it is not possible
for persons on a level with the earth to
observe this novel exhibition. Perhaps no
other elevation in the world would furnish
in itself such a novel and conclusive evil
dence of great height.

DR.. JOAN Z. Todd. New Haven
preacher Of considerable local regulations
dealt the colleges Of the country a blow
day OF two ago which appears to have
walked them up. The doctor was giving
his views on Christian Economics"
when he took occasion TO say that if he
had his way he would merge all the col
leres Of the country into twO-one for the
East and one for the West-and that be
would locate one in the Sandwich Islands,
and the other in Nova Scotia. He gave
the following reasons for getting rid Of
the COLLEGES: Anybody who mas watched
the curriculum Of our institutions for the
past few years, anybody who has closely
scrutIuized graduating classes, cannot
bat admit that college education is losing,
not gaining. ground. / do not believe
there is a Professor in Yale College today
who can translate At sight and without
recourse to thumbed leXicOns "a page Of
Greek or Latin with which be has had no
previous acquaintance. II this be true,
as it certainly was in my college days,
what can YOU expect from the students
themselves
It's undoubtedly true that very few
coIIege-bred men know much about the
Greek ana Latin languages-certainly
not enough to read them with any degree
ofGucncy. it is probable that the New
Haven preacher was rather unjust to the
Yale professors. but it is questionable
whether even they could follow CONVEX
satiou or a discourse in either Greek or
Latin.
The truth Is there Is not much effort
made i'm colleges t0teach either language
50 as TO be spoken. About two-thirds Of
the time given to either language is de-
voted 10 the dry forms Of grammar.
Every college man perhaps mas a pretty
clear recollection Of the Greek grammar,
but lie has 4 most excellent memory if he
remembers more Of it than he could re-
peat ia i've minutes.
Not one man out Of ten can read either
Greek or Latin ten years after gradual
ton. There are few who make it
Point to keep their knowledge Of these
languages fresh, and they are the only
college men, perhaps, who attempt any
thing more than the translation Of a sem
tence here and there with which they
meet in their general reading.
But because one fOrgets his Greek and
Latin it does not follow that he has re-
ceived no benefit from the study Of them.
The benefits he has received are mental
discipline and wider knowledge of the
English language.
