The Balloon Unsafe.
Whether we have earthquakes or
not according to prophecy, to take a
balloon to avoid earthly trouble will
not always do either. Nor are baloons
the safest means of getting away from
earthly danger, or of making any
great amount of wealth through as

made an ascension in a hotair balloon
at Haverhill, Mass. This part of the

Scientific Research.
Much of the spare time of the
scientific and theological scholar of
old, the middle ages, was spent we
are told in discussing how many souls
of angels could sit with comfort upon
tne point 01 a needle at once. And
other like questions concerning angelic
nature and habit were constantly be
fore them. The world at large didn't
nave puDiic schools in the middle
ages, and learning was largely confined
to theologians and they Jet the burden
of their inquiries and scientific research
reach out among the angels. They
elaborated at length a system of
reasoning which was perhaps as satis
factory to themselves as is the system
now adopted by our scientific earth
quakes and rain-maker. The only
trouble with scientific reasoning of
old was its cloudiness and uncertainty.
Their system of scientific reasoning is
said to have had but one flaw. That
is there was absolutely nothing in it
but words. From the middle ages to
the present posterity has been some
what similarly afflicted, and yet hope
ful of light that may possibly prove
and justify. Under our different con
ditions the scientific reasoner is more
docile than the dogmatic, arrogant
and intolerant theologian of old,
whose positive words were always
scicctea lor lengtn and sound. There
no doubt, however, that the impress

ing to this day. The longer and hard
er to understand the words were the
better they suited the scholastic theo
logians of old. The world laughs at
them now and wonders what could
have possessed them to spend so much
time over foolishness.
Just so the world of a century to
come will laugh at the so-called wis
dom of our scientific writers of to day
and wonder what kind of creatures
they were to waste all their lives over
long words and profitless theories and
discussions. About two-thirds of the
alleged scientific writing of to day is
as wonniess as tne lucubrations of
the old schoolmen referred to, and
for exactly the same reason, namely,
uccause mere is notning reliable in it.
