The snow storm Of last Monday

a blizzard ragged all day long.

CHINESE MUSIC.

What DIR. WheweII, Master of Trinity,
Knew About 1t.
The remarkable extent of the knowl-
edge possessed by DR.. William Whe
we'll, at one time master of Trinity
Cambridge, is we'll illustrated by the
following story, taken from the Life
and Work of DIR. Momerie''
Two of the younger dOns, growing
rather jealous of the masters reputa-
ton for Omniscience, determined that
they would discover something of
which he knew nothing. They pitched
upon the subject of Chinese music.
How should he know anything about
it? They did not, so they went to an
encyclopedia and read the subject up.
The next time they met Whewell at
a dinner party they led the conversa-
ton gradually in the direction of mu-
sic, when they began to discourse upon
the music of the Chinese and gave out
all their recently acquired information.
WheWell was silent, much to their
satisfaction. Evidently he knew moth.
ing about the matter. But just as they
were beginning to rejoice in their tri-
umph he said:
might l ask, gentlemen, where you
got your information
"Oh, yes" they replied. eve picked
it UP out of such and such an ency-
clOpedia."
"Ah," said Whewell, Il was thinking
so. I wrote that article thirty years
ago, and it's full of mistakes"
