odd Monuments in Churches.

Sometimes the memory of departed
persons has been perpetuated by the
erection of some part of the fabric, or
by the gift of some article of church
furniture instead of by the erection Of a
monument In Little Birmingham a
pew is thus constituted souvenir In
Wilmington church, Sussex, tie beam
Is made to answer this purpose. A cor
bel in Reculver church, Kent, is in
scribed to the memory of one Thomas.
Many fonts and screens are thus memo
rials, as are also chalices.
The pulpit in Wells cathedral was
put up in the reign Of Henry VIII, by
Bishop Knight, "for his tombe." Lord
Thomas Dacre In 1881 left a certain
sum of mouey for tomb, which he di-
rected should be used as the Easter
sepulcher. In the preceding century
another testator desired there should
be made for him "a playne tombe OF

Scientists have long sought for fixed

measures in common use are mere arbi-
trary lengths. and. II the original stand

Is supposed to be a teu-millionth part
Of the quadrant Of the earth; but the
accuracy II the original measurements
have been seriously called in question.
Therefore. the 50 called wave lengths
Of light have been suggested as furnish
ing an invariable numerical magnitude,
but their excessive minuteness and the
difficulty of accurately measuring them
have hitherto been an objection to
their use
But Il is said that a method of meas
uring these wave lengths which is ac-
curate to the one ten-nilliOnth part.
has been discovered. When il is con
sidered that wave length of sodi
um yellow light is only about one
forfy-thousandth of an inch. the ex
treme delicacy OF this method becomes
apparent Whatever theory may be
held as to the nature of light, the nu-
merical values. called wave lengths
for convenience, are actual and inva-
riable representatives of something;
and If the proposed new method Of
measurement proves reliable. there
will be no difficulty in obtaining a fixed
standard of length which can be repro
duced at any time or place. st Louis

An Enormous Brain and a Thin Skull
When Ivan Turgenef. the great Rus
sian novelist. died in 1888. his brain
was removed for the purpose Of weigh
ing It. the distinguished physicians and
surgeons having often remarked the ex-
traordinary size of his head. When
placed on the delicate balances the
brain was fonnd to weigh exactly 2,012
grams The meaning of this can be
better understood when it is known
that the weight of the average human
brain is but 1, 800 grams. Turgeneff's
brain was the heaviest that has yet
been weighed, Cuvier's coming next,
his having weighed 1,S00 grains.
There are many cases in which an
extraordinary intellect has been accom-
panied by a heavy brain weight, but
men whose mental superiority is under
stood by both friend and foe have often
had brains under the average weight.
One other peculiarly of Turgeneff
was the surprising tlinness of his skull.
When at school he often tainted from
being playfully tapped on the temples
by his schoolfellows. The post mortem,
which revealed the enormous weight of
the brain, also proved that the skull
was so thin that it would yield to the |
pressure of the fingers and thumb. st

CIerrxmen Who Smoke.

Thackerays dream of a smoking An
glican bishop may yet be realized. In
deed, who shall say that halcyon time
is not hard upon us2 Most of the
Roman Catholic clergy smoke, the
Protestant clergy of Continental Eu
rope smoke; even in Anglo o-Saxon coun
tries respectable proportion are ad-
dicted to the habit. At no time in the
history of the weed have the clergy as
n body discountenanced its use. In the
United States the Unitarian clergy,
next to the Catholic, are the most lib
eral in this regard. Many of them are
smokers, most of them look with toler-
ance upon the habit
The Nestor Of the flock, DR.. William
Furness, of Philadelphia, who has been
a smoker from his youth up, continues
the habit as a hale and hearty octo
genarian Robert Collyer smokes when
ever he wants to, and thinks it no one'l
business but his own DR.. Bartol
though not smoker himself, fails tc
see why clergymen should not smoke i
