Edmund HALEY.

Probably the greatest service which
HALEY ever rendered to human knowl-
edge was the share which he took in
bringing Newton 5 Principal" before
the world. In fact, as DIR. Glaisher, writ
ing in 1888, has truly remarked, "but
for HALEY the Principal would not
have existed. 7"
HALEY had the genius TO perceive the
tremendous Importance of Newton's re-
searches, and he ceased not to urge upon
the somewhat recluse man Of science the
necessity for giving his discoveries pub
LEGATION. Having been authorized by the
Royal society to undertake the printing
of the book at his own expense, HALEY
spared no pains in pushing forward the
publication of his illustrious friends
great work, so much so that in the same
year he was in position to present a
complete copy to King James ii, with a
proper discourse of his own. HALEY also
wrote set of Latin hexameters, III
praise of Newton's genius, which he
printed at the lightning of the work.

ley's poetic muse may be thus rendered,

MIlllona of Petrlfled FIsh.

For a score Of years the biologists
have known of the existence of immense
beds of shale in Wyoming which occa-
sionally yielded fine specimens of fossil
fishes, but it is only recently that sim
liar beds have been discovered in Color
ado. These beds of petrified fish, con-
tanning millions upon millions Of indi-
vidual specimens, cover hundreds Of
square miles in the northwestern part Of
the Centennial State. They extend a
distance of 100 miles in the direction of
Green river and "shelve ont" for 100
miles more toward the interior Of the
state. In some places these beds-al-
most solid mass of perfectly fossilized
fish--are from $50 to 200 feet in thick
ness. One of the greatest puzzles regard
ing the find y the fact that they lie
about 5000 feet above sea level st.

Lord Moncrieff was expected to speak.

over 80 years ago. AT that time the
Darwinian theory and the Vestiges of
Creation were creating much excite

except to a select few, it was not known
that the late DIR. Robert Chambers was
the author of the latter work. Lord

refer to the controversy, and created
roars of laughter by his ridicule of Oar
winism.
"When he concluded, gentleman
sitting at the back of the hall, among
the common ruck' of the audience, rose
and respectfully asked permission to put
a question to the 'Darwinian critic.
There were cries of 'Namep Come for

remarking, in effect, that he only
wished to ask the speaker if he had read
Darwin's Origin of Species. Mr.. Mon

had not, but that he had studied re-
views of it, etc. i thought so, quietly
