I*i i_ t" : -f T**_* jumiy xiipeiieace 01 Aisnop ASDUiy, . ^ Francis Asbury was bom of bumble v'1^l but worthy parentage about four miles from Birmingham, England, Aug. 20 1745. There were only two children, a son and a daughter, and as the latter died in infancy, Francis was left alone and most tenderly cared for, enjoyed a j>.i most beautiful child life in a well-re gulated Christian home. From his - ' '}! earliest years he neither "dared an oath nor hazarded a lie." By the conversation and prayers which he heard at-home he was so awakened before he was fourteen years of age as to begin a life of personal prayer. He soon heard of the Methodists, and succeeded in being taken to hear them. "Theptopie appeared very devout," be said, ''men and woman kneeling, saying, fc Amen. Now, behold*, they were sing- 1 ing hymns! Sweet sonnd! Why, * strange to tell, the preacher had no prayer book, aud yet he prayed wonderfully! What was yet more extraor- ^ $1 dinary, the man took his text and had no sermon book. Thought I this is wonderful Indeed! "Tis certainly a strange way, but it is the best way. rne preacner laiKea aoout connaence, assurance, etc." He determined at once to be a deyoted Christian, and associated himself ^ with others, and began to hold meet- ? ings in his father's house, and from house to house, and several of the at- ^ 7 tendants found peace through his labors. He met a class and attended a meeting, and soon publicly appeared in the more public Methodist meetings. The people were amazed at the frequency and success of his services?a mere yoyth?and when first recogniz- ' ed as local preacher he was probably the youngest one ever licensed in Metbodisuj. He was also the readiest of helping local preachers, meeting promptly every call by any of the preachers by night or day; being ready ''with hasty steps," to go near and far to do good, visiting in all directions the whole country around for the sake of precious souls, preaching three, four, r and five, and even seven, times a week He was only about twelve years of age when h6 began his helptul, devoted service; about seventeen when he became a licensed local itinerant preacher; between twenty-one and twenty- ^ * two when he entered the Conference itinerant work in England; a little more than twenty-five when he was transferred Dy Mr. Wesley to tne wort in America. He was thirty-nine years old when be was elected and ordained Bishop at the organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1784. He was in America over forty-four years, nearly tbirty-two of which he spent in the episcopacy. The Action of tbe Eye. , It can be takpn as a fact, which the \ j theory of the action of the eye implies, I that for each external impression that f ; is, for each image produced on the re-^ j 1 tina, tbe ends of the visual nerves concerned in the conveyance of the impression to the mind must be under a neculiar stress or in a vibratorv state. j It dow does not seem improbable that, when by the power of tbougbt an image is evoked, a distant reflex action, no matter bow weak, is exerted upon certain ends of visual nerves, and, therefore, upou the retina. Will it ever be within human power to analyze the condition of the retina when disturbed by thought or reflex action, by the help of some optical or other means, of such sensitiveness that a clear idea of its state might be gained at any time? If this were possible, then the problem of reading one's . * thoughts with precision, like the | characters of an open book, might be j much easier to solve than many proI blems belonging to the domain of pos itive physical science, in the solution of which many, if not the majority, of scientific men implicitly believe. i Holmholtz has shown that the fundi of the eyes are themselves luminous, and he was able to see, in total darkness, the movement of his arm by the iight of his own eyes. This is one of the most remarkable experiments rt? i corded in the history of science, and 1 pre bably only a few men could satisfactorily repeat it, for it is very likely that the luminosity of the eyes is associated with uncommon activity of the brain and great imaginative power. It is fluorescence of brain-action, as it were.?Nikola Tesla, in Scientific American. The Roc's EtfIf. The roc referred to in the story of "Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp" was not -K a fabulous creature. This giant bird, W now extinct, is called by the geologists Epvornis. So far as we know, there areouly three eggs of this bird in existence, one belonging to the Longlsland Historical Society, one at the Musum of Natural Hisiory in this city, and * one in London, recently brought there from Madagascar. This last is whity brown in color, 33} inches by 28 inches. An ostrich egg is about 17 inches by 15 inches, and it would take six ostrich eggs to equal in bulk one of inu Jiipyuriiis. it wuuiu iunt? uue hundred and forty-eight eggs of the common barnyard fowl to equal one of ihe Kpyornis.
