Profettor In Panlo. Professor tflias Loom is for rnr jfmn occupied tho chair of astroi my at Yalo and was tlio author o tho well known series of mathemat ical text books. Professor Loornis repeated eacl

year to tho Junior class a course of

lectures on physics. Tho lecture

were illustrated by .experiments, and in ono on compressed air ho

explained tho principle of the well

known air gun.

The .students of each succeeding class as they entered tho room for

this particular lecture found on the ide of "the room remote from the platform a small target. After cx-

piaimng me operation ot the gun Professor Loornis was in tho habit of landing three of its projectiles withmathematieal accuracy in the center of the bullseye. The professor was always applauded for this feat, but his grim face, covered by a tightly drawn skin of parchment hue, never showed the slightest sign of gratification or recognition of any kind. To him it was apparentlyonly a scientific experiment to be exactly demonstrated. One class of juniors, however, who had learned of the immemorial incident from the then seniors, attempted a littlo experiment of their own, the subject Deing.matheatical and seientific human nature. .Thse puffs frm the ak gun. and, altkitagit' torments saw that the bullsye waä .perforated as usual tlfere wasnot a sound 'of applause.

Chines Worship cf Ancestors. The one spiritual force that dominates every class of society in China is ancestor worship. In the Chinese religion there is no other that can take its place for a moment. A man may or may not worship idols. He may express his utter skepticism about them or profess belief in them. Ko one cares what he thinks. Letfhim, however, neglect the worship oi the (lead and he i looked upon and pointed to with the "bitterest scorn both by his own relations and by his neighbors. The worst taunc that the heathen can hurl against the Christian, and the

one that stings him most, is the
