Zaccheus and Me,

The head Of we'll known theologi-
cal seminary in the South, says Har,
per's Weekly is accustomed to test
the ability and self-possession of the
students by sending them into the pull
pit with a sealed envelope in their
hands containing the text Of sermon
to be delivered on the spur of the
moment.
On one such occasion the student
on opening his paper, read these in
structi"nS: "Apply the story of Zac-
chcuS to your own circumstances and
your call to the ministry.'
The student, clevcrly enough, deliv-
cred himself Of the following:
"Brethren, the subject on which |
address you is comparison between
Hacchcus and myself, with reference
to my qualifications for the pulpit.
The first thing we read Of Tacchcus
is that he was small Of stature. 7
never felt so small as 7 do now. In
the second place. we read that Zac-
chcllS was up a tree. which is very
much my position at present. Thirdly.
il is related that Iaccheus made haste
t" come down: and in this I gladly
and promptly follow his example.

lines cannot be drawn where there is
q close approach to homogeneity, but,
Of course, there are differences among
negroes, just as there are among the
members of other races, and, had it
not been for the pronouncement of
this Southern authority, we should
have rashly assumed the existence Of
many grades of black folk, all re-
cogniZcd as such by themselves. Even
now it is hard to believe that they lack
this strongest Of human instincts
that of the wise to look down on the
ignorant and Of the good TO draw away
from the wicked. And perhaps the
excessive solidarity Of which the
Times-Dispatch complains is copied
after another solidarity, polial one,
that ha. been under frequent discus
sion for some years past.

Observatory Threatened.
Electrical Review.

Electrical Review.
A surprising situation was develop
ed recently at Greenwich observatory,
England, which is, without question
one of the most important astronomi-
cal stations Of the world, due to the
putting in service near it by the Lon
don county council Of its new power
station. The station is located exact
ly on the meridian, about mile south
Of the observatory, and although 1t at
present has but small part Of its
complement the entire equipment will
have an output of more than $4,000
horsepower. Already some distrub-
ance has resulted from the operation
OF certain generating units, and the
observatory authorities have brought
the matter before Parliament, as they
fear that when all the machinery is in
place and running their instruments
will become useless.
The surprising feature Of this situa
ton is that apparently no steps have
been taken before to protect the OBJ
servatory. Application for authority
to build the power house was made
about four years ago, and when 1t
was granted other departments of the
government. as we'll as private in
tcrcSts. were Safcguar,lcd: yet the
observatory, the one institution most
likely t" be affected, seems to have
been overlooked, and apparently its
officers did not realize what was be-
ing done. Now they find not only that
there is some vibration: but that the
two large clIimneys Of the power
house, comm" in the meridian may
possibly interfere with the observa-
tion Of transits, not only on account
Of the chimneys themselves, but be-
cause Of the hot gases which will pour
out Of them.
