tive reasoning differs only in passing
by mediate judgments from particulars
To generals. The two forms OF rea-
sonIng recognized by logicians are by
enthymeme and syilogism. The first
has two propositions connected oy
some such words as "because, there
fore;" the second consists of three prop
ositions. The following may be taken
as examples of reasoning by euthy-
meme and syllOgism: "Nlan is mortal:
therefore he must die. All mortal be-
lngs must die; man is "A mortal being;
therefore man must die. John cannot
fail; for he has in him the clements of
success. None who have in them the
elements of success can fail; John has
in him the elements of success: there
fore, John cannot ffil. The apple fell
to the earth because of gravitatiOn.
Gravitation causes all unrestrained
bodies TO approach each other; the
earth and apple were unrestrained,
therefore the earth and the apple APP
preached each other; or the apple tell. J"
The second Of each Of these forms Of
reasoning is the syllogism and is mere
ly the eXpansion-by expression of all
of the judgments separately-of the en-
thymeme. The enthymeme may be
expanded into different syllogisms, by
assuming different general PROPOSE
tons. The last of the above might
have been expanded thus: ''All bodies
which. unsupported, fall 10 the earth,
are actuated by gravitation; the apple
was unsupported and fell to the earth;
therefore the apple fell to the earth
actuated by gravitation."
Nearly all argumentative discourse j.
by enthymcme; yet it is good practice
for pupils to expand propositions in
yolving reasoning into the full syllo-
CYSTIC form. 1t is an excellent drill in
accuracy of thought to take chain of
reasoning, like a geometrical demon
stration, and expand each of its propo-
sitions into syllogism. Likewise, il
Is a sharpener to the critical faculty, IL
take sophism and analyze it, to dis
cover wherein the fallacy lies. The
old sophism, THAT the hare could new
u ONtl liht lHt vi lOlS'. D'NdtlNt' w llllt
the hare covers half the distance be-
tween them, the tortoise will have gone
little farther, and while the hare Is
covering half the remaining distance
the tortoise will have gone a little far
Their, and SO on forever" can be fully and
clearly shown as tallacious, as can any
other, by expanding into syllogistc
reasoning. For then both generals and
particulars are fully expressed. and
their truth or falsity can be easily dis
covered. as well as their necessary Sc
quence or consequence. 1t is rot nee
essary that pupils he required TO take a
course in logic to be drilled in accurate
reasoning; indeed. it would be better
that he know at first little or nothing
of the technicalities Of deduc,ive logic.
About all that is required is that he dis
tinguish generals from particulars, the
major from the minor premise, and the
conclusion. Having these distinctive
" in mind he is armed for work in log
zeal analysis and deduction. 1t would
be only confusing TO 90 into the CLASH
fcations of terms, propositions, judg-
ments, syllogisms, and varieties Of de-
ductiVe reasoning.

WILL BUILD A ONE-TRACK ROAD

A Bunnlo Mans Scheme for Travel
ing $50 Miles an hour by Elec-
tricit:.
through, work will begin upon Il West
err New York railroad Of novel and Gu
lious design. On this new road. ac-
cordlng to the plans Of the projectors,
passengers will be whillcd across the
country at the rate Of $50 miles an
hour if necessary, carried high up in
the air in long, slender cars driven
along a single rail by electric power.
This first of the elevated railways will
run from Oak Orchard Harbor to Ba-
tavia. a distance OF forty niles, accord
ing to the route laid out. or this route
the right of way for three and one-half
.!.ilcs has been secured. The inventor,
Capt. Lima Bcecher of Buffalo. says the
Express, claims that the advantages OF
elevated roads are many. The cost of
operation is cheaper, there are no dan
gerous grade crossings. now and dust
are equally out Of the way, no grading.
ditching and fencing are necessary; and
a high pate of speed can be maintained
in city ana country alike. According to
the Reccher system, he says that the
farmer cen plow, sow, reap and even
pick fruit under the line. 1t is pro-
posed to make the elevated structure
light and narrow. SO as to occupy very
little ground. The passenger cars are
to be about forty-tivc feet long ana
three and one-half feet wide, carrying
forty paSsen. gers apiece. These long
and narrow cars will encounter very
little atmospheric resistance, says Capt.
Bcccher, and will cut the air like a
bird. The entrance to the ears is ut the
side. The coaches are made on the BIZ
cycle principle, and it is stated that in
motion they will balance themselves OF
the center or traction wheel, while the
safety or guide wheels at the side will
not touch the guide rails, thus causing
little friction. The cars are expected
to round the SllarpeSt curves at kigh
speed with safety and climb the steep
est grade with ease. The motive power
is to be storage batteries. and there
will be no danger from sparks. The
weight of Il passenger Il carrying for
~ passengers, with batteries and cleo
trio motor, will be only 2OO pounds per
passenger, says the inventor. This clc-
waited Batavia & Lake Ontario railroad
is to be built by 4 company Incorporate
ed with a capital OF S6OO,O W. Capt.
Beccher is president of the company
and J. w. Holmes Of Batavia is chief
engineer.
