AS regards the artractiveness OF
scientific study, Sir james Pogrt
dwelt on the wonders that it reveals,
though he admitted hat The scientific
man no soonc or becomes acquainted
with those wonders than they cease
to strike him as wondertul,-his ma
gination being benumbed by his h"b-
il of turning all the mastery OF natur-
al law which he has acquired to p'ac.
tical use. Finally, he illustrated the
wonders which science reveals by a
very graphic account of the number
of transmissions of nerve-force to and
from the brain in the course OF amy
great musicians performance. There
were, he said, in MademoIseIIe ia
notha's performance OF a piece OF
MendeIsSohn's, no less than two hun
dred tranSmissions of nerve force TO
and from the brain, oulwards and IN
wards, in every second. That is won
deriul, but hardly a wonder on which
the imagination can rest with amy
sense of permanent delight Or salts

This day week, sir james Paget
delivered the annual address to the
students Of the London Society forthe
Extension of University Teaching,
and took as his subject "Scien'ific
Study" He maintained that no kind
of study did more to educate The
power Of observing, the power of a
%curately recording observations, 10
teach the difficulty of attaining 10 a
real knowledge of the truth, and to
discipline the mind in forming hypo-
theses adequate to the explanation OF
The facts. He illustrated very effec-
lively the great difficulty ofobserVlng,
saying that there is hardly a year in
which some new form or symptom OF
disease is not observed which had al
wnyS been open TO observation, but
which had never been observed before.
The habit of Accuracy in recording OBJ
srrvatious depends very much, in Sir
James Paget's view, on making the
record while the facts IRE still in

The Sorghum Experiment.

The Agricultural Department sent
out report of the experiments made
with sorghum. From the general tenor
of the report the sorghum experiment
may be regarded as failure, the worst
feature of the business being the varia-
BILE results obtained, as the results OF
one years work can in no way be
counted on as a sample of what the
next may be. The report contains the
results of analytical work" at Fort
Scott. Kansas. Rio Grande, N. j.,
and Magnolia. La. The experiments,
for which an award of 81 200 was given
by the Commissioner of Agriculture,
are also given, and comprise work from
all sections of the country. In the
main the results may be said to be I'M
favorable, as any climatic change, no
matter how slight, will change the
character of the product. The yield
of sugar as compared with that of mo-
lasses also differs widely, and no def
mite percentage Of sugar can be fixed
as being present in a certain amount of
sorghum cane. To sum the whole mat
ter up briefly the cultivation of sor-
ghum cane for sugar-making purposes
may be deemed impracticable Ell Wash

a considerable fortune, and became
possessed with the desire OF being
buried under the largest possible tomb

Stranger Than Fiction,

The relatives and friends of the miss
ing man Rea, whose strange disappear
ance some three weeks ago from this
city has not yet been cleared up, may
find a possible clue in the remarkable
case OF Sylvester S. Hall, of Minneapo-
lis.
In August, 1885, three weeks after his
marriage, Mr.. Hall left his home in the
city OF Minneapolis telling his wife he
was expecting to take a contract for
the building of a business block. From
that time nothing was heard of him
until the other day, when he returned
from the Rochester insane asylum near
st. Paul, where he HAD been confined.
The story of Mr.. Hall almost surpasses
belief and is another striking illustration
of the loose methods by which innocent
people are arrested, hurried of and
confined in iails or lunatic asylums. 1t
