The captain was born in New York
Aug. 26, 1910, and was appointed to
the naval school Sept. 20, 1856. He
was made midshipman in 1861, and
passed through all the grades to his
present rank, his commission dating
from March 81, 1889. He was in active
service all through the civil war, and
after the close Of the latter was trans
ferred to the Asiatic squadron as exec
utive officer. Subsequently he served
with the European squadron, and
since that time his service has been
diversified. During leaves of absence
he commanded one of the steamers of
the Pacific Mail Steamship company,
and also the Woodruff scientific expe-

Dinner at the Zoo.

Dinner at the Zoo calls for a most
extensive and varied menu. In fact,
the difficulty of keeping animals from
all quarters of the globe supplied with
food that resembles that to which
they were used in their native fields,
forests or jungles is one of the most
difficult problems that the managers of
geological collections must face. Only
one an1mal-the hog-seems wholly in
different as to the nature and quality
OF its food, and some species are ex-
tremely fastidious. Even the ostrich
mallfests choice and shows no rel
sSfish for the nails and old iron with
Which it is credited: with RECALLING it.
self on the African farms; and one
species, the Somalt ostrich, accepts
only green food, refusing to touch the
meat and biscuits of which the South
African ostrich is very fond. The gil
raffe is one of the daintiest of beasts,
living in nature on the leaves which
1t strips from trees, and in the gar
dens on the best clover hay, crushed
oats, bran and chaff, with fresh green
tares and an occasional onion as rel
ishes; and while: it is very fond of
fresh, whole apples, rejects one that
has been bitten. Some animals are
able to change their native tastes and
acquire others, vegetarian# becoming
flesh eaters: and insect eaters turn
ing to fruit and grain-as the kea of
New Zealand, which, once a strict
!" vegetarian, has become very fond Of
mutton. Animals in the Zoo have to
submit to more or less of this, for their
native food Is often unattainable.
Nothing has been found on which the
Australian koala will thrive, but the
kangaroos and wallabies take kindly
to grass and maize, and breed fire.
Quently. Unfortunately, the kan
garoos, are very subject to govt and
corns. The polar bear is happy with
horse blubber and place, and the croc-
cdiles and alligators are satisfied with
raw meat. The apteryx, which at
home lives on worms and larvae, feeds
and prospers on limitations carved out

now there is sharp rock on one side,
and sharp rock on the other side
Again, that man is in the crisis OF
the text who has wasted life on the
one side and an unilluminated eternity
on the other. Though a man may all
his life have cultured deliberation and
self-poise, if he gets into that position
all his self-pcssession is gone. There
are all the wrong thoughts Of his
existence, all the wrong deeds, all the
wrong words-strata above strata,
granite, ponderous, overshadowing.
That rock call Bozez. On the other
side are all the retributions of the flu
ture, the thrones of Judgment, the eter-
nal ages. angry with his long defiance.
That rock call Seneh. Between these
two rocks ten thousand times ten
thousand have persisted.
0 man immortal, man redeemed
man blood-bought, climb up out OF
those shadows! Climb up by the way
OF the cross. Have your wasted life
forgiven; have your eternal life Sc
cured. This hour just take one look
to the past, and see what it has been,
and take one look to the future, and
see what it threatens to be. : You can
afford to lose your health, you can af-
ford to lose your property, you can af-
ford to lose your reputation, but you
cannot afford to lose your soul. That
bright, cleaning. glorious, precious,
eternal possession you must carry aloft
in the day when the earth burns up
and the heavens burst.
You see from my subject that when
a man gets into the safety and peace
OF the gospel he does not demean him
self. There is nothing in religion that
leads to meanness or unmanliness
The gospel of Jesus Christ only asks
you to climb as Jonathan did-climh
toward God, climb toward heaven
climb into the sunshine of Gods favor
To become Christian is not to &c
'meanly down; it is to come gloriously
up-up into the communion of saints;
up into the peace that passeth all I'M
Outstanding; up into the companion
ship of angels. He lives upward; he
dies upward. H.. -.
Oh, then, accept the wholesale invI-
tation which I make this day to all
the people! Come up from between
your invalidism and financial embar-
easements. Come up from between
your bereavements and your dest1tu.
ton. Come up from between wasted
life and an unillumined eternity. Like
Jonathan, climb up with all your Nigh,
instead of sitting down to wiring your
hands in the shadow and in the dark
ness-':a sharp rock on the one side
and sharp rock on the other side"

CromWellian age, so well delineated by
Walter Scott, had always something
strange in it. The admonition to
trust to Cod was generally associat-

bothSby sea and land, has been coupled
more with his satanic majesty than

or afterward to express gratitude.
It is certainly not the least insignifi-
cant experience of the present war that
officers in high command think of the
"Godsof battles when the fray is on.
No doubt many a commander is true
Christian, but few will have the true
manhood to avow their religious senti-
nent while shells are bursting and
bullets are whistling around their ears.
One OF these few is John w. Philip,
commander of the United States battle
ship Texas, who demolished Sacopa

helped to send Admiral Cervera's fleet
to the bottom on the eve of the "glori-

the great battle, when the Texas lay
alongside the Cristobal Colon after the
latter had been beached and surrender

Women in Science.

To assert that women have had an
important influence on the progress al
science would certainly be exaKgera-
ton; but to say that they have always
been wholly foreign to it would be
still more inexact. The female sex
have. in fact, been for many centuries
contributing to the extension or the
field Of scientific knowledge; and nav
that they are beginning to take more
prominent part in affairs of this cate
CORY, it seems favorable time to re-
view some of their achievements and
to notice some of the women whose
scientific accomplishments have been
most remarkable. We begin with a
Milanese mathematician of the eight
eenth century Maria Agnesi, woman
who was unique among the few who
have occupied themselves with the ex-
act sciences. Her precocious tntelli-
gence and prUdigious memory. which
permitted her to express herself cor
rectly in seven languages, and her
rare aptitude for one of the most ardn-
Gus branches Of mathematics-the In
finitesimal analysis Of which Leibnitz
and Newton had only just indicated the
formulas-the saintliness Of her life
divided between study. prayer, and
charitable works-all contribute to
make her one of the most agreeable
characters which the scientific history
Of the last century offers us.-Apple-
