ANECDOTES OF HUXLEY.
Two Characteristic Stories of the
Eminent English Scientist.

Two Characteristic StOries of the
Eminent English Scientist.
The papers have been full Of deserved
eulogy Of the late Prof Huxley. who. per-
haps, more than any other man Of his
generation, helped to promote and popu-
larize natural science and particularly the
evolution side of biology. Very few anec-
dotes are extant about the professor, but
two rather good ones have recently been
told at the Cosmos Club. Both are essen
TALLY characteristic Of the man.
Prof. G. v. Riley narrates how, during
the exhibition of the "Healtheries" at the
South Kensington Museum. in 1886, he
was present, with Lord Walsingham and
others, at an exhibition of fire extinguish-
ers. A number OF temporary and infiam-
mable buildings had been erected to test
the efficiency of the various extinguishers,
and after one of the buildings had been
set on fire and the fire very successfully
and effectively put out, Walsingham asked
Huxley. who was standing by. what he
thought of the affair. Huxley looked down
at his feet for a few minutes, as was his
wont. evidently In deep thought, and then
slowly remarked:
"Well, I think that shadrack, Meshach

PHILLIPS BROOKS, HONOR.
Bns-Reief to Be Unveiled i'm tn
Church of the .IncarnatiOn.

Bns-Relief to BE Unveiled in the
Church of the Incarnation.
From the New York Tribune.
Almost the last duty with which the Rev.
DR., Arthur Brooks was occupied before
leaving this country upon health-seeking
trip to Europe, from which, unfortunately.
he was not fated to return alive, was to
give his final instructions concerning the
erection in the Church Of the Incarna-
ten, of the bas-relief statue to the men,
ory of his brilliant brother, Bishop Phil
lips Brooks. Before his departure DR..
Brooks had in fond anticipation mapped
out arrangements for the unwilling Of the
memorial almost Immediately after his re-
turn from abroad. His unexpected death,
however, upset all these preparations, and
the formal unfurling of the drapery COW
ering the statue YVES postponed for an in
monument in position is now practically
complete, save for a little further coloring
of the bronze figure which will be finished
in the course of the present week.
Although the exact date Of the unveil-
ing ceremony is not known, 1t is understood
that it will take place during the early
part Of October, and will be made the oc-
casion of notable gathering Of clergymen
from many parts of the country.
The bas-relief statue, which Is the work
of the well-known New York sculptor, w.
Clark Noble, in its bronze casting presents,
in the opinion Of experts, one of the best
and largest examples of ecclesiastical por-
trait sculpture now in the country.
The architectural surroundings of the
figure are part Gothic and part byzantine,
and around this central picture has been
placed splendid mosaic Of marble and
onyx.
The statue has been fixed on the southern
wall of the church. in a position that is
rather darkened, and with cross lights
playing over It.
The actual height of the figure is about
seven feet, but the elevation at which 1t
has been erected gives It an appearance,
to the observer from the ground, Of Bishop
Brooks life-size length Of six feet four
inches.

Result of a Runaway.

From the Troy T1mes
There is one man in New York who has
full appreciation of the hustling ways Of
his fellow residents of the metropolis. He
had a runaway the other day. and thus
relates his subsequent experience: 1.-THE
next time my horse runs away" he began,
IT hope the newspapers won't mention 1t.
I was pretty badly used up of course, but
the energetic hustlers who patch up brus-
ed and broken humanity and allay pain
should have mercy on such rnfortunates
as myself and not add TO our misery. What
I'm kicking about is this: The morning af-
ter the accident, which was described fully
by your newspaper people. I began to get
through the mail advertisements of lotions,
washes and other medicines to reduce the
size of swelled head and to take the Sore
ness ont of bruise. There were cards of
dentists who wanted to fit me out with new
sets of teeth. There was literature in i'm
mense quantities from harness and car
rage dealers, who wanted to fit me out
with new rig. There were letters by the
hundreds from mon who have horses guar
anteed to be safe, sound and gentle for all
uses for sale. I also received letters fro m
accident Insurance companies setting forth
the advisability of getting insured. The
climax, however. came this morning. when
I got two more advertising circulars-one
from a dealer in collins and the other from
an association that sells burial plats. After
looking these over I decided it was time
to kick"
