Shorthand of a rudimentary sort was
practised by the Romans. Jiro, the
freedman of Cicero, introduced a sys-
tenn which was only an abbreviated
longhand. The ideal held before them
by inventors of more modern systems
is more rapid and accurate. 1t is des-
cribed by one of the early fathers of
the art, Peter Bales Q547-161O, In
these words:-''To write as fast as a
man speaketh treatably." He acknOwl-
edges that this may seem hard saying,
but insists that in effect the method
is very easy, containing a many COM
modities under few principles, the
shortness whereof is attained by men,
Ory, and swiftness by practice, and
sweetness by industry"
Not even an approximation, however,
to this ideal was reached until 1897,
with the publication of Isaac Pitman's
system OF shorthand, entitled "PhOn-
ography." He revOlutiOmzed the art
by making his Topographic signs repre-

SCIENCE EXPLAINS.
Bible Miracles Are Not Essential to
Christianity.

OUTlSItdNltys
Miracles as an article Of faith were
taken out of Christianity by Prof. Ben
jamin w. Bacon, of the Yale Divinity
School, the other evening. He spoke
before the Mems Club of the United
Church on the theme "Is a Belief in
Miracles Essential to ChristlanityY'
At the outset Prof. Bacon declared
that it was not, and he said that the
greater part of the miracles of the
Bible can now be explained by scien-
tific reasoning. They were regarded
originally as miracles because they
were not understood. He pointed to the
alleged miraculous destruction of arm
les and muJtitudes of people according
to the Old Testament, asserting that
some plague which was not understood
fell upon the armies, and that because
of the enormous number of deaths
which followed miracle was said to
have been wrought.
Prof. Bacon explained the crossing
of the Red Sea by the children of Is
rael by saying that 1t had been been
found that high winds actually drive
the sea back at the exact spot where
the miracle is supposed to have taken
place, and that probably the children
Of Israel arrived at just the time when
one of these was blowing
He declared that the test of the mir
aculous was permanent Incompetent
sibility." The only two miracles which
have stood the test of science in at
tempts to explain are, he said, the Res
direction and the Crucifxion. He re-
ferred to many Of the miracles of the
New Testament as Legendary accre-
tions," declaring that the narratives
were written down from memory,
years after their occurrence, by the
Apostles.
Prof. Bacon's address is said to have
been based on the doctrine taught in
the Yale Divinity School.-N. Y
