and studied Graves.
He was a physician, and, while Civ
ing only his leisure to science and lit
erature, he became a leading authority
in the zoology and botany of Great Brit
ain, says Popular Science Monthly. He
introduced the word commercially,
now in common use, to express a state
of many living together, as it were, at
the same table. The word was men
toned by Johnson as an example of a
useful term, which If rejected, must be
supplied by circumlocution. Browne
was a pioneer In the scientific study of
graves and their contents. He appre-
ciated the value of fossils. He was also
a comparative anatomist, and constant
ly engaged in such topics as the anat-
omy of the horse, the pigeon, the beav-
er, the badger, the whale. In a note
on an anatomy of spermaceti whale
the following passage occurs: ut con-
tanned no less than sixty feet in length,
the head somewhat peculiar, with a
large prominence over the mouth; teeth
only in the lower jaw, received into
fleshy sockets in the upper. The
weight of the largest about two
pounds; no gristly substance in the
mouth, commonly called whalebones;
only two short fms on the
back; the eyes but small" This is a
very good note, we think, and written
in a scientific spirit. He studied animal
mechanism, especially the gaits of the
quadrupeds and the acts of swimming
and floating the problems of right and
left handedness and the erect figure of
man. He tells us that "temperamental
dignotions" can be detected by study
ing spots on the finger nails. Physi-
clans even of our own day have not
formulated knowledge on this curious
subject. He discovered the animal soap
now called adipocre. "He would have
made very extraordinary man for the
privy council" We are told by his biog-
rapher.

Dominance of the french in Canada.

This Manitoba School affair has also
interest as an episode in the struggle
between the British and French races,
which are seyerally identified with
the Protestant and Catholic religions.
Canada, when England took hsr over
from France had not more than sixty
thousand inhabitants, almost all of
the poorest class, who might probably
have been Anglicized with ease. That
they were treated on the opposite
principle, that their language was re-
spected and their religion recognized
was due, it may be surmised, to the
necessity of preserving their allie
glance in the face of the American
Revolution. which may thus, in GER
tain sense. be said to have extended
to Canada. This policy, combined
with the hostility of the Canadian
priests to New England Puritanism
and afterward TO the atheism OF the
French Revolution, kept the people
loyal 10 Great Britain. The conquer
or, however, had given them votes
which they used to throw off his as
cendancy, and there was constant
tight between them and the English
minority in possession of office down
to 1887, when they broke out into re-
bellion, simultaneously, though hard
ly in concert, with the rebellion
against arbitrary government and the

The pere Marquette statue.

The preparations for unwilling the
statue of Father Marquette in statut-
cry hall of the capital at Washington
and the attempts of Congressman
Luiten of Michigan and others to have
the statue removed have created wide

try. The statue is the gift of Wiscon-

and represents the distinguished ex-
plorer who in company with Louis
Joliet discovered the Mississippi river
at Prairie du Chen June II, 1913.
Mr.. Linton objects to the statue be-
cause it is that of churchman dress

that such a statue has no place in a
hall set apart for statues of persons
who had rendered distinguished civic
or military service to the state.
What the outcome will be is uncer-

statue will be removed though the

Complete PREPARATION Is offered for the
Insult at Barcelona-This Move
Tends Greatly to Relieve
the Situation.

Washington, March IA cabIegram
from our minister 20 Spain, Hon. Han
mis- Taylor, received early on Monday
morning, informed Secretary Olney
that the Spanish government had
promptly disavowed any responsibility
for the unfortunate riot at Barcelona
on Sunday, during which mob made
a vicious assault on the Amer
lean consulate. In addition to an
expression of deep regret over
the occurrence, the government Of
fered to make complete reparation.
Secretary Olney laid the dispatch be-
fore President Cleveland early Monday
morning and on his return to the de-
partment he gave it to the press. The
dispatch follows:
Spain Apologies.
Minister of ate has just called to
express deep regret that mob has in
suited Barcelona misunderstanding win
dows-and offered complete reparation. He
informed me that government on its
own motion had taken every precaution
to guard legation and my residence

Prior to the receipt of the dis
patch, messages reporting the assault
on the Barcelona consulate had been re-
ceived from both Minister Taylor and
Mr.. Herbert Bowen, the consul al
Barcelona. Senior Depuy de LONE, the
Spanish minister, also was informed Of
the news and he waived ceremony and
called on Secretary Olney at his resi-
dence Sunday to express, in advance OF
instructions, the regret of his govern.
ment over the occurrence. These in

government to make every amend for
the insult on the consulate were care.

sent a dispatch to Minister Taylor in
structing him to make known to the
Spanish authorities the appreciation of
this government of their prompt dis.
