ITO BE cosTINUED.)


In 1853 party consisting Of Lowell,
Emerson, Agassiz, Judge Hoar, W. j.
Stillman and several others spent few
weeks of the summer in the Adiron-
dacks.
The journey of the company gave rise
to an incident which has often been in
correctly told, and which, as a curious
comment upon human fame, deserves to
be told again. The coming of the party
track it would follow. and at Reese
vile, where the common roads then
ended, the town was agog to see the
philosophers" as they were at once
collectively called. But neither Emer-
son nor Lowell was known, Agassiz be-
ing the only celebrity to that world, ow-
ing to his having recently refused the
offer by the emperor of France of the
keepership of the Jardin des Plantes at
Paris and senatorship with large sal
airy, he preferring to devote himself to
science and America.
The selectmen of the town waited on
the visitors early in the morning after
their arrival to pay their respects, they
said, but really to see a man who had
no regard for money and distinction.
They were received formally, the spokes-
man bringing a copy of periodical
which contained portrait of Agassiz,
which he produced and carefully COM
pared with the lineaments of the pro-
fessor until he had satisfied himself of
the authenticity of the individual, when
no addressed his followers with, Eyes,

shake hands with him, the rest Of the
PARTY being ignored.-W. J. Stillman in

How Did the Dollar Mark Originator


Below l give five theories of the origin
of the dollar mark (S), they being select
ed from about 20 seemingly plausible
solutions:
That it is combination of the ~. s."
the initials of United States.
That it is a modification of the figure
s, the dollar being formerly called a
"piece Of eight"
That it is derived from representa-
ton of the Pillars of Hercules, consisting
of two needlelike towers or pillars con-
nected with scroll. The old Spanish
coins marked with the pillar device
were frequently referred to as pillar
dollars"
That it is combination of "H. S."
the ancient Roman mark of money unit.
That it is a combination Of p. and S.
from peso duro, signifying "hard dol
lar" In Spanish accounts peso is con-
tracted by writing the S. over the P,
and placing it over the sum.
According to one writer the symbol OF
the dollar is monogram of the letters
Nv" rs" and ~" the dollar being
originally "thaler" coined in the val.
ley of SAINT Joachim, Bohemia, and
known as Joachim thaler," and the
monogram the initials of the words,

The Cause of Waterspouts.

A waterspout is meteorological phe-
nomenon of peculiar character, which is
occasionally observed on land, but usu-
ally occurs at sea. 1t consists of a cone
shaped pillar of condensed vapor, which
descends, with the apex downward, from
dense cloud and at sea attracts a
somewhat similar cone in reversed
position from the surface Of the water.
The two may not inaptly be compared
to gigantic hourglass. The cause of
this phenomenon is supposed to be the
gyratory movement of the air with such
swiftness as to produce vacuum in the
axis of rotation, and the contact of the
lower extremity of such an axis with
water would effect the elevation OF a
column of the latter to considerable
height. The most probable solution of
the phenomenon is that waterspouts
originate in adjacent strata of air of diff
ferent temperatures, running in oppo-
site directions in the upper regions of the
atmosphere. They condense the vapor
and give it whirling motion, SO that it
descends tapering to the sea below and
causes the surface of the water to ascend
in pointed spiral till it joins that from
above.-Brooklyn Eagle.

A Madras native gentleman was once
asked by Lord Roberts what he thought
of India for the Indians" He replied:
go to the geological gardens and open
all the cages. You will then see what
would be the end of India for the In
dams. There would be grand fight
among all the animals, with the result
that the tiger would walk over the dead
bodies of the rest" On being asked
whom he meant by the tiger, he replied,
"The Mohammedan from the north"
The moral of this allegory of my
friend, who was certainly one of the
most enlightened native gentlemen
have ever met with, was that India
could not be left to herself, and that a
supreme power was necessary to hold
together the varied and various races
