"4 ’ PATHER MELROY. Remarkable History of the Oldest Jesuit Priest in the World. Saying Mass and Directing the Novitiate at Ninety-Four. PROGRESS OF CATHOLICISM. New York and Philadelphia When They Had but One Chureh Each. The Great Sermon of a Life—Church and State. Frepenice Crry, Md., May 6, 1876. Frederick, situated about the centre of a beautiful tnd fertile valley, as the geograpbors say, surrounded on all sides by jofty mountains, spurs of the Blue Ridge, and within a stone's throw of the Mouocacy, a Picturesque, and, at tines, an irascible stream, pos- esses those features which usually stamp upon the in- habitants true maulincss, patriotism, vigorous health and ideality. The county of which it 1s the scat is Uho wealthiest and the most skilfully cultivated in | Marylana, On one of tho sido streets, occupying the entiro front of ahuge square, is an old, dingy yellow building, seamed with buge cracks, which run, in some in- Stances, from tho foundation to the eaves. In appear- ‘ence it Is anything but inviting, and 8 token of in- Dabitants whose outward tenements may be as frail and fading as itself, This is the novitiate for the education of Cathotic priests. Among the first established in America, it has steadily fulfilled the purposes for which ft, was erected, and has sacn generations go forth to preach tho religion of Christ or come back to its fold ‘woarted with tho battlo of life, and only anxious to lay their enfeebled bones within the sheltering caro of its ‘eonsecrated ground. The land was donated by Dulany, and includes a whole square of the city. The Hexatp ‘writer approached the door of tho novitiate witn some Tlsgivings as to the interior, the exterlor survey call- ing up visions of tumbling wails, falling rafters and maimed and bleeding limbs, In response to inquiries for FATHER JOHN M'ELROY ho,wus ushered into the reception room of the novitiate and his fears were quickly lost sight of in contemplation of the pictures which ornamented the walls, The room ‘was plain but exceedingly neat, as was every portion of the establishment, vetokening a consideration for the Scriptural injunction that “‘cloantiness is next to godli- ness,” which is not always to be found in institutions where men alone are gathered together. Tho room was bung with poriraits and photographs of the distin- guished prelates who have from time to timo given their hives to tho spreading of Catho- Ucity in America, and in one place the porter pointed out the picture of Father McElroy, ‘The pinched cheeks, deep furrows aud cvident Bppearance ot age in the counterfeit did not preparo me for tho agreeable surprise whon I saw the origimal. In a few moments the striking of a cane onthe bare floor of the passage was beard, tho door was thrown ppenand Father John. McElroy, the oldest Jesuit in the world, was before me. His tooks velied his pic- ture. There were but few ot the indications of ago either in his form or countenance, His face was full, bis complexion ruddy, the grasp of his hand firm and decided, and his figure, when relieved trom the natural Inclination which tho use of a cane gave to it (neces- Bitated by tho fact that ho is perfectly blind), was up- right and steady, After having assured him of tho very decided interest which tho public manifested toward him, despite his Practica! retirement, enforced by a sad infirmity, the _ Whiter requeste1 him to give some of his early recol- “fections. He sald he was not born in this country, and hhis'lize had been devoted almost exclusively to tho ‘Church, and that hence he could say but little that ‘would prove interesting to the public, Upon being ‘assured, however, that anything would be deeply in- teresting connected with a life so wonderfully pro- longed and for the most part so actively employed in ministering to his follow creatures, ho satd:— AN INTERWSTING CAREER. “I was born in the province of Ulster, the most northern province of Ireland, in the county Ferma- nagh, in 1782, and am at present the oldest Catholic Priost in the United States and avo been for five years tho oldest Jesuit in the world. A catalogue is kept of the births, deaths and period of ministration of all the Jesuits throughout the world, and hence | arn able | to. make the statement with accuracy. At the ume of my birth Catholic emancipation bad made no head- way in Ireland, and hence I recervod simply a common Bducation, such as was given to Catholics at that tine. Tieft Ircland for America, in 1803, when twenty-one years old. O°Connel! had just made bis début in the character of an emancipator, and had given thus far Dut little promise of that extraordinary vigor and power of controlling popular sentiment for which he afterward became so famous. 1 landed first in Balti- more, and wont from there to Georgetown. JEEFERSON WAS PRESIDENT of the United States when I landed. I have met him several times, and often had occasion to admire his republican simplicity, When I took the stage in Balti- more to come to Washiugton it was an old, rickety, open wagon, with leather curtains flopping in the wind ‘end no springs toi. As we came down Capitol Hill ‘and saw the cattle browsing about Pennsylvanta avenue I asked when would we get to Washington, and wi Surprised to learn that we were there already. The President's house was the only place worth looking at in the city. Thore was an old post oilice where tho Patent Office is now, and a culony of Irish had squatted on the bill, who couldn’t speak a word of Eng- sh. Georgetown was a mach more active place of business than Washington, and Alexandrian wos far More important thun either, Ibe architect of the White House. He told me he n- Jended to put anothor story on the building, but Wash- ington did not approve of it, and he abandoned the jaca. Speaking of travelling in those days, a person feitthe stage office at the Union Tavern in Grorge- lown, kept by McLaughlin, who, I believe, was after. Ward associated with Barnum in Baltimore, You left jhe office at five o’clock in the morning, went to Rox . burg and took breaktast, dined at Waterloo and feached Bxliimore at nine o'clock at night In the winter the passengers were compelled frequently to get out and clamber over the fences, pnd often fous it through the fields for Jong distances. The horses could bardly draw tho empty stage. The trip was not always safe, I remem- ber on one occasion a father from the college was going inthe stage, but when he reached the office it b Marted, There had been a froshet, and when tho ‘Griver got to tho branen near Biadensburg the water was even with the bridge, He thought he knew the tight road, but missed it, and the stage horses and passengers were swept away and drowned. So, yom fee, ho had a narrow escape. When,J came to this Bountry THE JESUITS NAD BEEN SUPPRESSED. They were savpressed by Clement XIV., 1 1774, and hot iormally restored until the restoration of Pius VII. to his functions in 1814, Archbishops Carroll, Neal and a number of others went to Europe in the eighteenth century to study at a Jesuit college; but npon | thetr suppression these all returned. Jesuits, you will * understand, cannot aceept any honors, but Wey aro obliged to obey the orders of the Pope. Both Arch- bishops Carroll and Neal wore Jesuits, Carroll was at Mae head of the Chureh when I reached Americs, and tho only archbishop in the country, Neal was at that me Bishop and President of Georgetown College. knew Archbishop Carroll well, He was above the me- fiam height, very grave and slow im specch, but very amiable and interesting, and vory relined and gentic- manly in his manners. He and Carroll, of Carrollton, were first cousins, and not brothers, as has been foneously supposed by many. The family was from ‘he county of Cork in Ireland. THANE WAS WOT ONE CATHOLIC CHCKEM Iy KEW YORK ab that time, ond indeed fora Jong ume sferward, 1 serd mass as lato as 1818 in St. Peter's, tho old church | 4 in Barclay street, St. Patrick’s church being then in course of construction, and there were only two priests in the whole city. St. Joseph’s in 1893 was the only Catholic church im Philadelphia, It was in this church that Washington and his staff assembled after the battle of Trentou to hear mass. Now there areas many churches in Philadelphia as there are im New York."” At this point, the reverend father, seeming some- what fatigued and dinver having been announced, ad- Journed the interview until tho afternoon, At half- past four o'clock Father Motlroy entered the par- Jor as fresh as @ daisy and displaying those rare spirits tor which he has been noted among his ac- quaintances, Continuing, he said:—“I went to Georgetown, as I told you, and BNTERED INTO COMMERCIAL LIVE. Just about this time Archbishop Carroll was directed qiuetly to establish a novitiate for Jesuits in Maryland, at Georgetown College. It continued there for about two years, and was removed to Whitemarsh, In Prince I knew Captain Hobart, | | George’s county, Maryland.

I went there as treasurer and attended to all the temporalitios of the college tor eight or nine years, 1 studied during my leisure and was ordained priest in May, 1817, when thirty-five years of age, fifty-eight years ago. I re mained in Georgetown four years, filling the same office - L occupied before. I was ordained and came trom there here in September, 1822, The novitiate hero (Freder- ick) commenced at the end of the last century. When I came hero, in 1822, there was a small centre building. The first ol church, which is now incorporated with the main building, was erected by Father Dubois, one of the great ptoncers of the Church tn this country, the father who tounded MOUNT ST, MARY'S AND ST. Josern’s, and was aflerward a bishop tn the Church. I remained here until 1845, ring that time I erected the centro building of the Academy of Visitation, over the way, for the Sisters of Charity. The Visitation Sisters after- ward took their place. The church which you seo op. posite (St, Jonn’s) I also built, 1 paid on it before I left $85,000. Iwas removed from here in ,1845 to take charge ofa church tv Georgetown, of which I was pas- tor from September to May. “The Mexican war having broken out President Polk called upon the bishops for a chaplain for the army. 1 had the honor of bethg selected by thom, and was sent with Father Ray to the army. Wo were the only chap- Jains in the army, a fact which created much dissen- ston and bad feottug among the other denominations at the time, but the President said the Mexicans were al! Catholics and must be conciliated. I was WITH GENERAL TAYLOR'S PART OF THE ARMY, and became quite intimate with him. 1 sent for Ray to come and assist in preparing Scott's army for their departure from Matamoros, and I never heard of him after he started. Doubticss he was assassinated by the Mexicans, Taylor was at Bravos Santiwgo, getting ready his flat boats or rafts. It was supposed by tho Mexicans that he would attack the fort in front, which they deemed impregnable, but he went by land and flanked it, I rematned with the army as chaplain for one year. , In July, 1847, I went to Boston to see Bishop Fitzpatrick. He offered me a church, and my provincial consented. In October following 1 was placed in chargo of St, Mary’s, and was there about seventeen years. Tho bishop told me there were about 30,000 souls under my charge. My life in Boston was at times somewhat tempestuous, but it pleased the Almighty to,bless my labors abundantly. 1 can never forget the kindnesses and services rendered me on many occasions by persons of a totally different way of thinking from myself, and whose public positions made them shining marks for the envious and discontented. I immediately set to work and built a number of schools, At length what was known as the jail lands wore offered for sale, whore formerly stood the jail, the old court house, &c. The land was purchased by a gen- tleman for building purposes, and I succeeded tn ine ducing him to part with a portion of i, My purpose was to erect a collego, THE FIVTH WARD OF BosTON ‘was very much prejudiced against tho Catholics. A great hubbub was the consequence. The cry was raised of “Charch or no Charch,” ‘Father McElroy or not.’ The opponents of the Catholics resorted to a Singular device. They said tho land was bought with the condition attached thabateres and dwelling houses were to bo butit upon ft. A desperate struggle ensued, Finally, to quiet the storm, I sold the property back to the city and bought a lot, almost an entire square, for one-fifth of what tho jail lands cost, and on that I erected a college, which is at present in a very flourish. ing condition. A violent prejudice was manifested against granting a charter with college rights, but I secured the services of General Cushing, whom I had known in Mexico, Me introduced mo to the Legislature, by whom I was received with great kiud- ness and my modest petition was granted. It was on this occasion that 1 was first introduced to Governor Andrew, who ivformel me it would give bim great pleasure to sign the bill as soon as it passed the Legis- lature. I subsequently built and dedicated in 1861 THX CUUKCH OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, the finest chureh in Boston. It was consecrated a few days ago with imposing ceremonies. Since leaving Boston I bave been engaged in the ordinary duties of tho ministry, my faring sight having curtailed and im- paired, to a har extent, my usefulness. I still say mass and preath here atthe novitiate, but I am un- gble to travel without a guide,and that would be making two do the work of one. I have often known one to do the work of two, or even three, but I think the reversal of the rule would be unprofitable,” “What effect, Father, do you think the public move- ment against Catholics at various times in this country bas had on the prosperity of the Church ?”” “OPPOSITION OF ANY DESCRIPTION bas always resulted favorably to Catholicism.

The other portious of the grounds were tastefully laid off and decorated. In the centre was a perfect minature forest of rose bushes and other flowers all in full bloom and scattering their porfume over the whole place, and in tho rear of the grounds was a beautiful shrine, erected to the Virgin, handsomely decorated with flowers, It being a feast day the candles wore all lighted, and tho gathering twihght gave an indeserib- ablo charm to this little fslolated altar and the image of the Virgin placed therein. an inspection of the building disclosed several chastely ornamented chapels and a number of very elegant oratories, but the charm of the wholo was the neatness alluded to above, eo dif- ferent from what one expects to find ima place ex- clusively controlled by mon and bereft of the softening influences of the gentler sex. ST. souy’s Tho writer was then conducted across tho street to St. Jobn's, the church bulit by Father McElroy. It is a handsome edifice, built of blue stone, and would be considered a creditable building in any of the large citics of the country. The interior is magnificently finished, The walls are finely frescoed and the ceilings tastefully carved and gilded. The walls are hung with pictures, many of which are really handsome and some of which are masterpieces, as the painting of the ‘‘Ro- taro of the Prodigal Son.” It ts doubtful whether so spacious and elegant a church can be found in Mary- land, thé Cathedral in Baltimore excepted. RAID ON THE “BURNT RAG,” Shortly after one o’clock yesterday morning, as Officer Bagley, of the Fourteenth precinct, was patrol- ling bis post on Bleecker street, he was informed that a man had been beaten in the saloon known as tho “qgurnt Rag,” at No. 60 samo street, Tho officer at once ran to the place and, on reaching the door, found ‘that it was locked and bolted. Waiting a moment, he heard the cries of a man for help coming from with, The officer thereupon rapped for assistance, which was quickly answered by Sergeant McClintock, Rounds- man Mally and Officers McClellan, MePbilhps and Dougherty. The building was at once sees coeeee, i surrounded, but not uptil several of the men in the saloon had escaped by tho rear and reached Mulberry strect. By this timo several hundred people bad assembled in front of the Place, among the crowd being some of the most doe perute criminals at present in this city. They were all armed, and thinking that they would ve abieto frighten off the officers fred several shots at them, which, how- ever, luckily missed their marR. {nformation of the attack on the officers reached Captain Allaire, of the Fourteenth precinct, who at onco went to the rescue of his men with all his reserves, and the notorious den was successfully raided, but not anti great determination was shown on the part of the police. The door was finally opened, and among the prisoners were some wi cut heads. One of them informed the police that he been assaulted by the bartender, Davis, who wa: rf the eighteen prisoners arrested, Whiie Roundsman Mally was im the rear yard one of the men who had cacaped fromthe saloon attempted to pass him, and would bave done so it the roundsman had not placed bis revolver to his head and ordered bi to stand.

The Pleasonton Theory Further Discussed. THE SUN A MAGNET. All Animal and Vegetable Forms Re- ferred to Magnetism, APT ILLUSTRATIONS. In a recent issue the Heranp propounded to its readers some of the salient features of General Pleason- ton’s comprehensive theory touching cosmic phenot- ena. It has probably been noticed that this theory is one of extreme simplicity, and at the same time of some depth. To-tay the Hxaanp again takes up this subject, convinced that a large proportion of its readers will be greatly interested tn the unfolding of a system which in itself !s so plausible and which stands in such direct contradiction to most of the received theories of modern science, Having dealt with hght generally, and attribited to tt dircetly the generation of the mage netism and external heat upoa which this planet depends for its existence, General Pleasonton goes on to matntatn:— That the sun is a hugo reflector, and that tho idea of its outer atmosphere (technically photosphero or Hlumin- ated portion) being largely composed of metallic gases fs absarhk That if such were the caso the whole-gravitation theory of Newton would be bageless, That, in any case, Nowton’s theory of centrifugal and contripetal forces 16 untenable, That the circulation of the blood, the growth of plants aud animals and the phenomena of light, cle tricity, magnetism and heat—the vital forces of the uni- verso— aro in direct opposition to the Newtonian theory of gravitation, That the sun is a great magnet, regulating and con- trolling all the planets of his system by magnetism, That in the animal and vegetable kingdoms the forms of all things contorm, in a greater or lesser degree, wo the ellipsoid form, as manifested in tho planets, thus proving tho peculiar form of their growth is the result of magnetism and is opposed to the gravitation theory, That there is no solar radiation of heat, That all the vital functions of thy human body are dependent for their healthy exerciso upon electricity. Tt will be at once evident, trom this brief synopsis, how comprehensive and far-reaching are the theory andesystem which General Pleasonton has been led to adopt by his experiments with blended light, In the Space which the Heranp can devote to this matter it Is impossibld to do more than review these novel and tn- teresting theories in the briefest possible manner. Many highly attractivo collateral theories of Gencral Pleasonton have to be passed over altogether. For these the reader must be seferred to bis forthcoming Book, We now proceed to the further oxposition of the General's theortes, the first, and, perhaps, most re- markablo of which is that THE BUN 18 A HUGE REFLECTOR, He contonds that the sun is simply @ huge reflector Of ight; that our astronomers, in asserting that the lumtnous matter in the sun's photosphore is largely composed of incandescent gases, are inconsistent, have ing to suppose that these heavy incandescent gases are Supported by a photosphere much less heavy than them- Selves; that como astronomers, in maintaining that the nucleus of the sun itselt is gaseous and that the density of the sun is much less than that of these heavy me- talhe vapors, propound au absurdity. For,” said the General, ‘if these incandeseont metallic gases are heavier than the material composing the san itsolf, it ig cloar that tho gravitation, according to Newton, of these heavy metallic incandescont vapors 1s not toward the centre of the sun; and, if not to him, where do they gravitate? Wo know what tho specific gravitics or densities of inany of the metals on the surface of the earth are whose incandescent vapors, as revoaled by the apectroscope, are supposed to exist in the photo- sphere of tho sun, and astronomers havo calculated that the attraction 6f gravitation to tho sun in its photosphero would be twenty-eight times as great as the gravitation im the earth's atmosphere to the earth of bodies of similar weight, NEWTON ASMAILED, “If, therefore, we suppose,” Pleasonton, ‘these metallic incandesceat vapors in the sun’s photosphere to be twenty- eight times heavier than thoy would bo in tho earth’s atmosphere, and if thoy ndver fall to the body of the sun, it must follow that what ts called gravitation in the photosphere of the san cannot exist, and the whole theory of Newton, of centripetal and centrifagal forces, bas no substantial existence. Again, if what our astron- omors tell us of the inconceivably high temperature of the sun be true, there can be o0 gravitation toward its centre from its photosphere, its chromosphere, or any of its possible envelopes, the heat expanding, rarefying and driving off all euch material substances. Heat disintegrates splids, —_ sepa- rates their molecules, destroys their densities, and consequently ts opposed to gravitation, which is tho attraction of densities. Alas! for poor Sir Isaac Now- ton and his grand theory of centripetal and centrifugal forees! A ray of light passing through a narrow chink and through a glass prisin has done the business, Tho incandescent metallic gases aud the transcendent in- tense heat of the sun which has vaporized these motals (the supposed discovery by the narrow chink and tho Prism) have demolished Newton aud his erratic fancies, Sic transit gloria mundi! “Newton held that ‘bodies exercise attraction in direct ne het mass, and that this law was of universal ation. 'y anawer is that the circulation of the blood in ani- mals is not aflected by gravitation, nor are any of tho seeretions of the animal body. ‘The development in growth of animals is uj wed to gravitation and totally unatlected b The wovements says General tonds its hugo Jimbs Jateraily, as if gravitation had no existence. The smoke trom combustion, the exhalations from the earth and the evaporation of water, ali of them material substances, are in opposition to gravitation, GRAVITATION TREATED WITIL CONTEMET. “Light, electricity, magnetism and beat, tho vital forces of the umverse, alltreat gravitation with great contempt. The atmosphere surrounds and envelops | j theearty. It has what is called gravity or weight, but iv ts Not subject to what ts called the Jaw of gravita- tion, since when Its lower strata become warmed they ascend into the upper part of the atmusphere and do uot descend or fall to the earth, as, having wotght, they should do; thus a difference im the relative weights of the same substance, in one condition or another, re- inoves that substance from the influence of gravitation, The vapors or clouds tn the atmosphere, which are heavier than air, float im many directions ‘and do not fail to the earth. A prece of iron will float upon a fused Toss of Iron, Instead of passing through it to the bot- 14 of matter 1s opposed to gravitation, 'y of centripetal and centrifugal at- ns and repnisions ts fallacious.

Among what are callot vegetables, from the enormous melon, in all its varieties, through the pod Learing plants, the cabbage, &e., the same type is visible, So in the roots and tubers; tho turmp is an oblate spheroid, the potato commonly an ellipsvid, as aro aiso the carrot and the parsuip, Ip the svous of the family of grapes, as well as in thelr leaves, the same forms are found, The bunches of grapes, a8 weil as their berries, are all of the same characterise jorm.

Had he done so we might not now be compelled to begin anew the study of terrestrial sphysies after having abandoned the learned specula- tions of this celebrated phiiosopher. Tyndall’s glacier theory is roughly handled by the General; but as bis uwn electric theory of the glacier phenomena 1s identical with what hus already been guid in regard to others, it is not nécessary to repro- duce it here, It would not be proper, however, to pass unnoticed various curious atmospheric manitestations on Mouut Washington and the Geveral’s method of ac- counting for them. A few are herewith appended :— ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA EXPLAINED. “* December 1870.—The day beautiful, we are perfectly comfortable outsiae without overcoats, and ‘on the east side of the observatory the (rost is thawing quite rapidiy, Thermometer 22 degrees Fahrenheit,’ “Now why, with the thermometer at 22 deyrees, should the tuuwing of the frost be confued to the cast side of tue observatory, when the san wus shining all around the building on the suow or frost without thawing it cisewhere away from the building If the thaw ng was the result of the heat rays of the sun, #0 Improperly termed, why was not the thawing general ail over the summit of the moadtun, instead of oeing confined to one locality? “The explanation, | think, is this, viz. :—The early morning rays ot suntight being nearly horizontal, im- pinged with a velocity of 196,000 miles per second pendicalarly on the vertical wall of the observat Partly covered with frost work; great Iriction was prodiced by the impact and positive electricity evolved; this electricity rushing to the corjunetion or embrace of the negative electricity of the frost work, when in contact with it developed heut which thawed the trost work; over the other parts of the sumunit of the mouutam these morning rays of sunly | passed horizontally or fell upon them with ‘anzies of incidence as to be wholly reflected into the osphere. ber 30.—To-night the wind is blowing a most violent hurricane, making the observatory creak. A fow hours ago the wind’ Was seareely noticeable; now its velocity is over eighty miles an hour, and tor a wonder it comes from the suuth, instead of tue northwest as usual, and as a natural consequence ft tears off all the loose ice and frost from the observatory, It seems as it we were at sea in a severe gale, and broken and beating against our ship, apd at times our es like a vessel ina storm, Contrary 10 what ordinary experience would seem to touch, the north sitle of the building is less exposed to the tury of the clement than any other. This ts owing to its having but one electricity.” . “Now,” says the General, “why does not tho north wind, or the ‘northwest wind, produce similar offects? The sun sbines upon both winds alike, and, if it sends down heat to this planet, the nerthwest wind should be as warm asthe south wind and should tear off tho frost work from buildings and rocks jast as the south wind does. But no such eflects are observed during the prevalence of these northern winds; on the con- trary, it is only while theso northern winds are blow- ing in wintor that thie frost work 1 formed. **Pbe explanation | conceive to be this:—The southern wjnds coming from a warm atmosphere are positivery electrified, aod when they reach the trost work on the buildings or rocks oppositely electrified their impact prodaces friction, which, evoiving more positive elec- tricity, develops heat that detaches the troxt work from its adhesions, broaks it into pieces and finally meltsit into water, while other frost work protected from the south wind remains firm and unaffected, the tem- perature of the atmosphere being below the freezing point of water, “A telegraphic wire,” continues the account, ‘cor nected the observatory with Marshfield, a a tance of three miles, where it is joined with the We: ern Union Company's line, at Littleton, twenty-three miles further. The wire has frequently been charged ‘with atmospheric electricity, especially iu the atternoun of the 7th of Jauuary, 1871, w on account of the high tension ot these currents, 1t became utterly up manageable, When the key was opened the flow of the eurront still continued, exhibiting bright sparks, leap- ing from one platinum point to the 3 er ter dark no auroral display could be seen, There 1s also a wire connecting the summit with the Glen sto which i detached from the poles and laid upon the ground dur- ing the winter, to protect it from the violent winds pre- vauilug at tats season, We had it attached to an in ‘strument, and, although no battery was used, we dis- covered that it wis sometimes charged with electric Glen wire was broken about a mile and a halt from the sumont, and the ono down the railway bad parted at about the same distance, thus making the puchomenon quite remarkable.

The darkness of the shadow would be in proportion to the depth and density of tha clouds floating between the sunlight and the earth. These rhadows would fit across eur earth as rapidly as the clouds which bad produced thom, in great storms or hurricanes at perhaps 100 or more milea per hour, Now, may not the sun spots which ave Bo Much exercised our astronomers be produced in @ similar way?

Fish, too, ligure largely in the elucidation of the Genoral’s ‘thoory. ‘This articlo will have to be brought to a conclusion with the theory maintained by General Picasonton—— that all the vital turces of the bony. depend for their healthy exercise upon electricity, the main proof being that the alkaline and ucid fluids necessary for tno gen- eration of elvetricity in the body actually do exist just in such proportions and in such places as they are needed for the generation of this electricity, This 1s ¢ very beautiful and ingenious theory. General says:— “Jt has been abundantly shown, by oxperiments mad¢ by distinguished scientists, that, usdor the influence of weak currents of electricity, salts can be resolved inte therr componont elements. In this way a compound can be separates into its constituent acid and base, 1b has also been shown by Becquerel that if an agid and alkaline solution be so placed that their union is ef fected through the wails of ao animal membrane, of, indeed, of auy other porous diaphragm, a carrent. o electricity is ovelved, This has been found to be trug of all acids and soluble bases. Now, Dr. Golding Bird asserts that, ‘with the exception of the stomach and cocum, the whole extent of the macous membrane is bathea with an alkaline moacous fluid, and the external ol ing of the body 18 us constantly exhaling an acid fluid, except iu the axillary and pubie regions.

The vdlood in a healthy state exerts a well marked alkaline action on test paper ; but a piece of muscular flesh containing a large proportion of alkaline blood, when it is cut into small pteces and digested in water, the iniusion thus obtained 18 actually acid to hunus paper. This cufious circumstance ts explained by the fact announced by L g. that although the blood in the vessels of the muscle ts alkaline from the triba: Phosphate of soda, yet the proper fluids or secretions of the Ussues exterior to the capiliarics are acid from the prosence of free phosphoric and lactic acids. Thus in overy mass of musclo we have myriads of electric currents, arising from the mutual reaction of an acid fluid exterior to the vessels or their alkaline contents, It is thus very remarkable that a muscle should be an eleotrogente Spparatns, and that we should have two sources of the electricity of the museles—the effects of metamorphoses of eftete Hbres on the one hand, and ou the other the mutual reaction of two Huids in different chemical conditions. The agency of « muscle in gener- ating electricity can no longer be denied.” Many of the theories ot physical geography which have hitherto becn received as axiomatic are ruth. lessly laid low; imdced, one 18 reminded, in talking to General Pleasonton, of the radical revolution in tho theory of the origin of species brought about by Darwin, The Heearp bas not been able do more thau give a cursory glance at the theories which General Pleas onton expounded to its representative. They will un- douptodiy evoke mach eritiotsm, and General Pleagon- ton will bave some tolerably hard fighting to do, but it must be said that his theories are very coherent, and all couverge in one main, central theory, whieh is the sun of his system. That system is a curious example of the way in which the human mind fights is way from point to pornt, taking bold of an apparently In- signilicant faet, discovering a principle and applying it to what the ancients used to vall the “universalitas causarum,”’ Mere the Hxna, for tho momest, «um. misses this subject, leaving its readers to fill 1 tue wae lines given from General Pleasontoa’s sorthuvunmy monograph. iy BAD SHYLOCK, James T.
