AGASSlZ'S TEST.
Estimate of Mans Worth According to
His Faculty of Observing.


II is said that however wisely Prof.
Agassiz, tie famous zoologist, might
differ in his opinions from another
scientist. he never undervalued any
contribution which a scientific OPP
ponent made to zoology.
He extended the fame of Owen, the
eminent English zoOlogist, i'll this coun-
try, by enthusiastically pointing out
TO ali questioners his grounds for a sin
cere admiration of that scientist, and
it was only by chance that his auditors
learned how widely Agassiz' opinions
differed from Owens on certain much
disputed questions.
But for amateurs who took facts at
secondhand and built up systems by
combining the discoveries OF various
specialists in science he had some
what contemptuous indifference. One
of his friends asked him on one occa,
sion how he felt about the attack which
had been made on his scientific position
by a certain accomplished scholar who
had studied the different theories adj
vanced by eminent biologists, and had
decided that Agazziz must be ranked in
the second class.
To the management of his friend, who
regarded the attack as matter of con-
siderable seriousness, Agassiz burst
into a roar of laughter.
why, just think OF it," he cried.
THE man undertakes 10 fix my place
among biologists, and he is not HIM
self a zoologist!" And then, seeing
that his friend did not apparently az
preciate the joke of the affair, he
added, with evident enjoyment: why,
don't you know that he has never been
an Observer
With him Conservation" meant rot
only the training of the eye itself, but
the cultivation and eXertion of all the
faculties behind the eye. He once SAID
in reply to a friend who asked him,
after he had been Is years in this
country, what he considered the best
result of his teaching:
Il have educated five observers. One
of them, to be sure, has turned out to
be my deadliest personal enemy; but
l still affirm that he is good observer
and that is the best compliment could
pay him were he my dearest friend."-

The new governor of British Guiana,
Sir Augustus Hemming, who is about TO
pass through the United States en- route
to Georgetown, is especially celebrated
in England as a cricketer, being re-
rowned as one of the oldest and most
successful of amateur players, a rival,
indeed, of Hon. Alfred Lyttleton. He is
one of the founders of the Sports club
in London, and has only just resigned
the presidency of its committee in con-
sequence of his departure from Eng
land. His principal associate in the

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
