Physics and Geometry.

10 the Enltor'
Al one who has devoted many years to success-
ful research IN the domain OF pure geometry, I beg
to say, in reference to the proposition OF D. y. p.
that the points OF a vertical diameter on any
wheel rolled on a plane never describe lines and
cannot describe parallel curves. | also beg leave to
state that the subject as stated is not part Of
but belongs to ''physics." I mention
this distinction because my experience. even
among ~professod mRthcmaticians, has been that
mensuration. algebra and physics are all mixed
up as so much geometry" and this lack OF dis
%tinction Is to a great extent the cause Of our lin
tied knowledge Of pure geometry. which consti-
tutes the true basis for mathematics.

The Horse Show, which theatrical mana

wheather you understand 'cm or not,
and the people who go belong to the
ranks OF theatre patrons. The Horse
show Is dislIkcd by managers as much
as Barnum's Circus, for they cannot
compete with either. Whether the ex-
ceedingly horsey plays at the American
Theatre and the Academy of Music will
suffer remains to be seen.
"Tal OF your actors being out OF
work, " says Manager r. Henry French,
why. It's nothing to the Jockeys that
seem to be idle. We employ eight jock
eys at the American Theatre. four from
England, and the others from Gutten-
burg, Gloucester and other tracks. I
honestly believe that II ! were to put
ten Jockeys instead OF one on every
horse | should still have boys here look
ing for work.
