The movement for the establishment of
Wesleyan theological college at oxford
seems likely to collapse. Cultivated young
Wesleyan ministers wished Wesleyanism to
have college as the Congregationalists
have in Mansfield College. and succeeded
in getting a select committee of experts
to consider the proposal, but official ele.
ments of the Church are hostile 20 the
project and will recommend the forth
coming Wesleyan conference simply to
strengthen the tutorial staff at three of
the colleges. Richmond, Headingley, and
Wandsworth, by the appointment of an
additional minister whose special work
will be the classics and mathematics.

In the morning. however, found de-
licious breakfast ready for me, consisting
of wild pig, wild pigeon. breadfruit and
taro, all baked in an oven OF hot stones
and spread out on fresh banana leaf.

money was not wanted. AS for that, how
ever, there was no way to spend money

richness Everything will grow in 1t, prac-

one side Of tree there is ripe fruit on the
other. The cocoanuts also bear perpet-
uaiiy. and young cocoanut is one of the
most delicious articles Of food that the
earth yields. The shell Of the young nut
is so full of milk that when it is tapped
with knife or a piece of stone the top
OF the shell will fly off. The kernel is then
like custard and can be eaten with spoon
Samoan would never think of eating the
hard kernel OF the nut as we get il here
The taro is d tuber that grows like our
heets or turnips. When Samoan wants
one or more of them for a meal he pulls
the tuber out of the ground. cuts off the
top. and sticks the top back into the hole.
In course of time another taro grows
there
Eating is the hardest work that a Sa-
moan has to do. Formerly the natives
used to make a sort of paper cloth from
the bark of the mulberry tree. which they
used for the little clothing that they wear,
but of late years they don't even do that,
being able to procure calico from passing
vessels in exchange for cocoanuts. or by
purchase with the money obtained by SELL
ing curios.

The Cowper Revival.

One outcome of the recent Cowper CEN
tenary at Olney, some weeks back, is an
attempt to organize Cowper society with
the object of stimulating interest in Cow
per's writings. 1t is proposed to hold an
annual formal celebration at Olney on
April %. Among the earliest publications
OF the society will be some unpublished
poems OF Cowper, and parts of Teedon's
diary. The secretary is Thomas Wright,
of Olney. whose complete edition of Cow
pers letters will soon be published The
question is whether Cowper has enough
English admirers TO keep such a society
alive. Even the Browning Society flick
cred and died. The Bronte Society is of
comparatively small account, and even the
newly formed Rusilin Society is little
heard of.
Prof Sidney Colvin keeper of the De-
parirnent OF Prints and Drawings in the

tant critical work on the early h.ctory of

Lord Kelvin, Scientist, Astonlshes a
Glass Of Students.
Lord Kelvin, otherwise Professor
William Thompson. is a world-famous
scientist, with fellowships and men,
berships in the learned societies Of the
civilized nations Of the world. He is
but little less than so years Of age, but
still retains the position that he has
held for over twoscore years, OF pro
fessor Of natural philosophy in the
University Of Glasgow, the institution
where he himself was educated. AS a
professor he has some peculiarities
and one Of them is the habit of say
ing, when a doubling question Is put
to him as to the absolute certainty
OF some proposition: Didn't ( figure
that out myself?" The question Is not
put irritably or egotisticafly, as a rule;
Il Is merely the natural remark Of a
man who has been an acknowledged
leader Of worldwide fame for so many
years. One day, when lecturing on
electricity. be told his class that, while
a voltage Of 5000 OF so would be ia
tai to man, voltage Of say, some
100000 would be perfectly harmless
With a current Of far more than or
dinary voltage he was going to give
them practical illustration Of the fact
himself, right there before them. The
students could hardly believe their
ears, but as he stepped toward the cleo
tricall transformer a cry Of dissent and
horror went up. TRY it on the dog
Try It on an ANIMAL" came from all
parts Of the lecture-room. Lord Kel-
vim turned in stiff dignity and cast a
look Of reproach over the class. These
were his own pupils who we're doubt
ing him-it was his beloved University
Of Glasgow. To doubt on some minor
point would not have hurt him. but to
think that they could question the re-
liability Of his carefully prepared fig
ures on a matter Of such moment was
really painful. For a few moments he
looked at them in silence. Didn't I /
figure It out myself" he said. al
length; and then there was only ST.
lence as he continued on his way to
the apparatus and safely turned the /
tremendous voltage into himself. Sat
