PEBCIVAL, leftover and above a specific conquest of tbo Water CommisaiOBer. ether. The following review of a lecture written by a celebrated professor is offered with pro fuse apologies to the author, who will no doubt make proper allowance for the un scientific knowledge exhibited in the review, and accept with amiability the earnest tho unenlightened effort to dissect the prof ssiorial expression and discover the meanings bidden therein. The lecture opens as follows: That which at this time shall shall be said is in no wise suggested by this pass age, by this prophecy of Isaiah, as a text, but will have suggested it before 1 finish. The passage referred to is: The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. The opening sentence contains ex actly thirty-two words. It reminds us, in the construction and number of words, of the first four lines and two words of Canto the Sixth, of Byron's Don Juan, which reads: And yet a headlong, headstrong down right she. Young, beautiful, and daring who would risk A throne, the world, the universe to be Beloved in her own way and rather Whisk the stars Now, referring to the professor's book "Hysterics of Literature,' page 294, sen tences number 3 and 4, containing twenty-one and seventeen words re spectively, which read as follows: It will then be neccessary after assailing the number of predications and simple sentences to weigh the styles in some wanner. This might be done by making an inventory of the respective ideas or notions introduced to thought, The idea suggests itself that, as we have weighed the style in some manner, we take an inventory of ideas or notions introduced to thought by the lecture. On second thought we hardly think it 'advisable for the sake of the lecturer to publish an inventory of the ideas or thoughts suggested by his lecture. Further along we come to the follow ing: We can raise iron from 500 degrees below zero. It would be interesting to know something of this new scale of temper ature referred to. We believe that on the Thompson or absolute scale of tem perature, the point at which the mole cules of any Bubstance will be at abso lute rest, and hence possessing no eaergy of motion, is 273 degrees below aero? on the centigrade ecale, or 461 degrees below zero on the Fahrenheit scale. But science must yield to liter ature, and render thanks for this im portant discovery which we hope will sometime be utilized to increase the efficiency of our steam and other heat engines. It will be noticed that this sentence of the professor's contains but nine words: Next we come to the following: Then, who knows what infinite powers must be supplied to it (man) that it may be able not obIt to overcome srravitr and atmosDheric weight, but this transcendental incubus of aaenyus' ana SBperunpong ana in- The above beautiful association of words has been submitted to various experts in language, but no one has been 'ound who can tell us what it all means. By a lucky chance we found the key in the professor's book, already named, on page 293, ae follows: The explanatiou lies in the fact that the weighs of the soul cannot be measured iu ob jective terms. Whatever it is disposed cr can be stimulated to do in spontaneous, uncon ditioned activity to easier than lighter mat ters essayed in conditioned wars through the operation of determinative onergy. These two sentences contain forty seven words, an average of 23 5 10. Of course with this key before us the meaning of the association of words iB no longer a mystery. While so much credit is given to man for his ability to live and move and have his being in the transcendental incubus of ether, we should not fail to give due consideration to the mighty strength of deep sea fishes who live continuously in a pressure of tnauy thousand pounds to the square inch. Up to the genesis of this lecture in the world of infinitesimal molecules there may have been some doubt ts to the exact workings of spiritual law in the natural world. The professor, in turning the strong light of reason on the spiritual mechanism of nature has performed a work that will place the entire race unaer lasting obligation, rienry Drummond and the professor are a high stepping team. Then there is the following: All this we understand. Perhaps the most striking thing about this sentence is the fact that it con tains but four words. Note the fluctu ating course of the professor. First he gives us a sentence of thirty-two -words. Then he drops to nine. Then follows a Hookerian sentence of forty words. Thare is, withal, a singular beauty in the directness of statement in this sen tence. It is almost Hugoesque in its strength. There is no equivocation about it. "All this we understand"" Could any thine be finer? Of course the fact that we do not understand at all does not de tract from the force of this powerful closing expression. All this we understand. Could any one so compliment the in tellectual capability of. the human race in the brief compass of four words? Just think, 4 three pound cans f reeh tomatoes 25c, at The Alliance store, 1008 Pst.
