There is a mighty hunter in the

In the resent memoirs of Deaa Buck
land an amusing picture is given of
the antipathy felt fifty years age by
the old classical scholars at Oxford to
the new scientific learning. They
described it as "mischievous and ab
surd." When Buckland once went to
Rome for a long vacation one of the
elder dons Is said to have exclaimed:
"Well, Buckland has gone to Italy.
Thank heaven, we shall hear no more
ef his silly geology."
Learned men do not always appre

mentioned by a great jurist in a letter
as "poor fiddler who had driven the

An anecdote Is told of Henry Clay in
