The Work OF MODERN CHEMISTRY
Some years ago IN the course of con-
versation with an eminent mathematician
[ asked in all seriousness whether he
could give me definition of mathematics
that would convey to my mind even a
faint idea of the object in view iu mathe-
matical investigation. He replies: 1t
is impossible to give snch a definition
as impossible as it is in the case OF chem,
istry." "But," said I, 81 think can
give a definition of chemistry which
would have some value;" and then, with
a little time TO think, I suggested def
milton which elected this remark: II
could certainly give an equally bad def
milton of mathematics" 1 have frequent
ly thought of this subject since, and
have wondered whether it is possible to
convey ID the minds of those who are
not chemists clear idea in regard to the
work chemists are doing. The Difficult
ties are great--as great, suppose, as i'll
the case of mathematics, for the chemists
are no longer engaged in the study of
familiar phenomena but are dealing with
matters which lie far beyond the limits
of ordinary observation The Popular

THE real. LORD FAUNTLERoY.-Th
popularity CT the book and play which
hinge upon the name of an imaginary
Lord Fauntleroy is such that memories
of an actual Lord Fauntleroy are revived
and The Pail Mall Gazette gives an inter-
esting account Of the man of that name
who convulsed London over century
ago with a series of forgeries unheard of
before that time and scarcely equaed
since Altogether the titled forger stole
something like $500, 600 the equiva-
lent Of 50. 100000 to-day. He was at
the head of bank, and carried on his
operations in the boldest manner. His
gains were squaDdered in riotous living,
and he went to the scaif,ld in halo of
"glory"of the sort most dearly priced by
scoundrsls of high and low degree.

A WORTHY AND WISE HEN.-Bridge

MONSTER SPIDERS.

Far no in the mountain of Ceylon and
India there is n spider that spins web
like bright TelIowish silk, the central
net of which is five feet lii diameter,
while the supporting lines, or guys as
they are called, measure sometimes ten
or twelve feet long; aud riding quickly
in the early morning you mag dash right
into il, the stout threads twining round
your face like lace veil, while as the
creature who has woven 1t takes up lis
position in the middle, he generally
catches you right on the nose, aud
though he seldom bites or stings, the
contract of his large body aud long legs
is anything bnt pleasant. If you forget
yourself aud try to catch bin, bite he
will, aud, though not venomous, bis jaws
are as powerful as a birds beak. and
you are not likely to forget the en-
counter.
The bodies Of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright gold
or scarlet underneath, while the upper
part is covered with the most delicate
slate coIored fur. So strong are tbs

quent!y caught therein, and even the
small but powerful scaly lizard falls a
victim. A writer says that he has often
sat and watched the yellow and scarlet
monster, measuring, when waiting for
his prey with his legs stretched out, full
ly six inches, striding across the middle
of the net. and noted the rapid manner
in which he winds his stout threads
around the unfortunate captive. He
usually throws the coils about the head
till the wretched victim is first blinded
and then choked. In many uafrequent-
ed dark hooks of the jungle you come
across most perfect skeletons of small
birds caught ia these terrible snares, the
strong folds of which prevent the deli
cate bones falling TO the ground after the

ADVICE TO AYOUNG MAN.

So you were little too pert, and spoke
without thinking, did you, my SOM And
YOU got picked up right suddenly on
your statement, ell? On, well that's all
right; that happens to older men than
you, every day. | have noticed that :ou
have a very positive way OF tilnglng decl-
sion where other men state an opinion,
and you frequently make positive as
sertiou where older men merely express
belief. But never mind; you are young.
You will know less when you grow older.
Don't / mean you will know more!"
Heaven forbid, my boy. No, indeed, l
mean that you know less. You will
never know moIa than you do now;
never. If you live to be ten thousand
years old, you will never again know so
much as you do now. No hoary headed
sage whose long and studious years were
spent in reading men and books, ever
knew so much as a.boy OF y0ur age. a
girl 10 knows about as much. but then
she gets over it sooner and more easily.
Does it cause pang then, to get rid Of
early knowledge2" All, my boy, it does.
Pulling eye teeth and mOlars will seem
like pleasant recreation alongside of
shedding large solid slabs and layers of
wisdom and knowledge that now press
upon YOU like geological strata. "But
how are you going to get rid of all
this superintendent wisdom2' Oh,
easily enough, my boy; just keep on air
ing it; that's the best way. 1t won't
stand constant use, and it diSintegrates
rapidly on exposure TO air.-Burdette in

ORIGIN Of the Name Tacoma.

Il may be added that the name Ia.
coma was never known till Theodore
Winthrop's remarkable book, The
Canoe aud the Saddle appeared in
November, 1869, says The Portland
OTogOni2u. In 1852 Winthrop went
10 Panama for William L. Aspinwall,
aHd visited California and Oregon the
next year. In August, 1853, lac was
1t Puget sound, aud resolved to return
10 the east across the plains. His
book, written in a somewhat sophie.
morical style. but remarkable for It's
poetic, imaginative and descriptive
passages, gives an account of his voy-
age with Indians in a canoe through
Puget sound and his horseback ride
over the Cascade mountain from Mes
qually 10 the Dalles, with Indian
guides. In this book the great noun
tain gets the name Tacoma" Win
throp PROCESSES TO have obtained the
name from his Indian guides, and he
gives his imagination play in a super
natural legend Of the mountain. Ii is
probable that the name Tacoma" was
a result Of his effort TO reproduce or
initiate a word given him by his
guides, who were Yakima Indians,
aud that the word was a common one
used by these Indians as a term for all
snow white mountain peaks. The
name OF the city of Tacoma WAS taken
by its founders from Winthrop's book.
Winthrop was killed at Big Bethel,
Va, early IN the war of the Rebellion,
and The Canoe and Saddle" with
other books be had written, and which
evidently had lain some time la his
