Tha Scientilic American of New York bus siuunli^ad its iiOlh atuiiversary by tha publication of a very hantl.f. me 72-pai'e special nuBiber, nhicli cocsi.slg of a re- view of the dcvslopn.ttiit of science and the industrial aits in the United States durioz the past lifiy years. It was an Hiiibitious ui:dcitakin<;, ai:d the woik hax been well done T!;e niai.y ariicb.'S are thorouj;hly technical, and tliry are writ- :en in a racy and popular btyla, whicii makes the whole vulunio -it is uotjiiiig leao, being f»inal to a book of 442 ordi- nary pagesâ€" thoroughly readable. It is inclosed for prcserrution in a haud.some cover and is sold at the price of 10 cents. Dr. Bolstin is after the funds. Aa item in Friday's dailies was to the fidlow- iug efiuct : "The Huron & Ontario Elec- tric Railway and E A. C. Pow have boen made defkndants ni ° a suit brought by Dr. Rolstin of Slielburue to recover $3,- 000 for services and to restrain the pay- went out of certain moneys-" Our read- era in town will no doubt be surprised at Dr, Rolstin's mercenary grub, nhon re- membering his bensvolunt attitude here and his tinphatic aMcrtiun that hia iiiier- eats lay entirely in seeing the road com- pleted, as all the remuneration he got for his valuable sorvices was a cert.aiii amount of stock in the concern. Ma seems now to imagine that ho was guttin;; a sni.vy, and lis motive appears to be to knock thu scheme endways by pocketing all available aiiiSKS of war. May his aspirations land him *' in the soup." The Late .Mr. J. H. Brown Vnivt'isity men were shocked to hoar of the suddea death in Manitoba a few weeks ago of Mr. J. U. Brown. The despatches announcirg his dealh were Very brief, aud no particulars as to his ill- ness ware at that time known iie.e. Thu eircuinstanct's atttndin;,' his de^th wi-re even more sad than at liist stipposud. lie was taken ill at Mclita with henimoi haje of the langs. Ilii stepmother was tclo graphed for and left Toronto iminadi. ately, but three Iiours bofoie hor arrival he died, on .Tune 2U. Mrs. Thown ii\i- modiutely left for the east with the body, which was interred at Mirkdale, whore Mr. Brown was born and where ho spent the greati'r part of his life. The remark- able rec.ird which the dec«asodgeiilleni«n mada at the University and the ability nhich he displayed throughout his career gave promise that his life would be one of usef uluess and success, and Iriids addi- tional sadness to his premature death. In every year of his courso ut the University he took the highest honors possible in the departments to which he belonged. At his matriculation in 1800 he secured ths M.try Mulock classical scholarship and the Prince of Wales scholarship. In his tirat year he carried off the Mo«a classical scli'ilarship, In his second y>^ar the t'rst Blake achularship and the Oovernor- Gonenil's scholnrsliip for general prolio- ieticy. In hia third year ho took the Governor-Uoneral's s-holarahip and the fii-st Blake scholmahip. Hi; graduated In 18iW, taking first class honors in clasaios and political science and winning the Mc- Otiul medal iu cln.ssica. In 18i>u he took his first year in Knox College and the degrees of M.A. and LL. B., aiwl also acted as general secretary of the Univer- sity Y. M. C. A. Last year he took his second year in Knox Collape, securing all tha scholarships awarded and also took the first half of th* degree of B.D. Mr. B»own was President of the class of 189i in his second year, and Presidvnt of the Clasaical Association, editor of Varsity iu '03-'94, Preside.. t of the University Y.M.C A. in '93-'94, and its general sec rjliiry for the year after his graduation. Hu w'ls frequently chosen to represent the Univers-i.y in public dnbales, and was an able and etfective speaker. lie took an active interest iu the L'nivcraily Lite- rary Society, aud led the "outside" forces in one election. His modest and sincere manner and the sttrling worlh of his whole character won him mora friends and admirers among bis fellfew-students than probably any other member of his year, and no man passed through the halls <if., the University witliin recent years whose death will bo mora gOHerally and sincerely lamented. â€" Globe.
