. 1887. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Origin of Language.
* Sm, In your issue of Saturday last is a very excellent paper on “ Parsing,” for the benefit of Teachers ; but it is not so sound in natural philosophy, natural theology and revealed religion when it propounds that lan- guage was gradually and naturally developed im the first man and not supernaturally com- municated to him by his Maker,
Man cannot think withont language, be- cause he thinks in language. So that if lan- guage was slowly developed in man, man hin:- self was slowly developed from the irrational brute, which is grossly absurd in philosophy as well as in theelogy. Because if man was gradually developed by evolution or blind chance, how came the woman, a separate and distinct being, to be made the counterpart of him, to suit him, as of finer mould and the better half of a complex whole. I can under- stand how one creature of neuter gender, if it lived and grew and changed for 10,000 years, maght develop to be somewhat different’ from its starting condition. But when everything vegetable and animal in sea, sky and on earth are constituted male and female, each made for the other, and each incapable of propaga- ting or prolonging existence without the other, evolution is impossible. Suppose (whic h never yet happened in the knowledge of man) that a particle of dead matter, of its own self, becomes a minute animal or vegetable. It will die out, if ithas no gender. If it is of one sex, W ho or what will produce the other to suit? Nothing less than God, Because, given a burglar-proof safe, itis more difficult to make the key to suit the unknown safe than to make any new safe ; or given the key, it is more difficult to make a safe to suit than to make axy new key. Or given a Bank of England note, what skilled engraver can make a new plate by which to print an exactly simi- iar note. Besides, the paper material in its chemical composition, texture and qualities, has never been reproduced by mortal man outside of that Bank. Will evolution, by gra. dual growth, develop that paper and engraved printing plates to suit the original ? Again, take away or erase every second word or second line out of Newton's Principia, who or what evolution could get up by chance an- other book with all the erased words? Or, suppose the authors of the Odyssey, Butler's Analogy, Paradise Lost, the Freedom of the Will, the Course of Time, or the works of
Paley or of the immortal Shakespeare, or the Bible, had only given to the world every
second word or line, what intellect less than the Omniscient could supply the counterparts ?
Let blind chance, then, do what it never yet did, produce a living animal or vegetable. A ten thousand times more difficult miracle is required to be performed to create another counterpart of the same chemical constitution by which procreation and propagation may take place. It is just as difficult and infinite- ly impossible for evolution or blind chance to produce a female atom to suit a male atom, and vice versa, as if highly organized or en- dowed existences,— because intelligent design is required which blind chance does not pos- sess. If evolution cannot effect one miracle, how cannot it perform tio still more difficult ¢ This is ‘‘begging the question” with a ven- canes. Paley, in his natural theology, chap.
, IV., says: ‘‘Relation perhaps is never so wining as when it subsists, not between dif- ferent parts of the same thing,but between di/- JSerent things. The relation between a lock and a key, is more obvious than it is between different parts of the lock. A bow was de- signed for an arrow, and an arrow for a bow, and the design is more evident from their being separate implements. Nor do the works of the deity want this clearest species of re- lation. The sexes are manifestly made jor each other. They form the grand relation of animated nature; universal, organic, mechani- cal; subsisting like the anal relations of art, in different individuals; unequivocal, in- explicable without design. So much so, that were every other proof of contrivance in na- dubvious or obscure, this alone would be suf- ficient. The example is complete. Nothing is wanting to the argument. I[ see no way whatever of getting out of it.”
Let us have the good old fashioaed bible theology forever then, and not heathen myths and fables. God made Adam a complete man and not an untutored savage babe, and gave him knowledge, which only can exisi and be communicated in language. God talked with him and gave him names for the other ani- mals. Of the same chemical constitution God made Eve a complete woman for Adam. Adam talked with her, and God conversed with both. When God made them, was it too difiicult or wonderful for liim to give them language’? He gave each species of alli his other creatures less endowed, a particular un- developed language of its own. There never was a confusion of their tongues. The birds, the domestic animals, the brates utter the same languages to- day that they did in Eden, and the chicken, lamb, or other inferior crea- ture an hour old, knows the language of its species as well as does the adult. There was, however, the one exception, a confusion of human language a the tower of Babel, of which we have evidence which we shall notice in our next,

Island.
Sir,—A short time ago there was forwarded to me acopy of three acts containing the laws of marriage of this Province. Certainly the (Jovernment deserves credit for seeking to in- form ministers and others qualified to perform marriages of the laws of marriage. The first act referred to contains a blank form of certificate for registration. It is conveni- ent to have this; but in New Brunswick and perhaps other provinces, printed forms for registration are obtainable from the office that issues licenses ; and this rule, if adopted on the Island would be a great convenience to persons authorized to perform marriages.
The same act is also intituled an act to *‘Re- quire clergymen to keepa record of baptisms.” But there is nothing in the act eee oe tisms. Is there any law on this subjec Li so, what is it?
This week J had put into my hand a mar-

has been always to retain all licenses.. A blank certificate. for registration might be isswed with every license, but separate from it. Then the license could be retained and the certificate returned,
But why should ministers be not only at the
trouble, but also the expense of registering marriages. Surely the Island is peculiar in this respect. It the registration is for
governmental purposes then the government ought to bear the expense of it. If it is for purely family or domestic purposes then the registration ought to be attended to by the parties marrying and not by clergymen and magistrates officiating. Who can speak with authority ? Sincerely yours, GEOKGE STEEL.

An Important Case,
A hearing was had in the U. 8. Circuit Court at Boston on Friday, before Judge
Carpenter, upon a motion for a temporary injunction in the case of the Gloucester Isinglass and Glue Company against Wm, N. LePage to restrain the infringement of a re-issued patent,granted to John 8. Rogers for a new and useful process of extracting gelatine from salted tsh skins. C. Browne for the plaintiff, F. Porter and 8. H. Hoop- er for the defendant. The motion for a temporary injunction was denied. The patent was in controversy in case of same plaintiff against Brooks, wherein LePage was one of the respondents, and it was there held that the patent was valid and that the defendant infringed. In this case it appears that the respondent uses the process des- cribed in letters patent issued to him for process of making fish glue, which differs from the first patent by treating the skins in a different manner forthe purpose of desalting. The plaintiff claimed that the only difference between the two processes was the addition of other elements, which do not vary the operation or result of the successive steps. The court held for the purposes of this case, that it must make a narrower construction than plaintiff claimed. **It is not denied,” the court said, *‘ that the identical process described in the Rogers Patent has been many years in use in ex- tractmg glue from fish stock other than salt- ed fish skins. The invention, therefore, consists only in applying this process to a material to which it was not before known or supposed to be applicable. Such an in- vention or discovery could not be held to contain any patentable novelty if that ques- tion were now open to these parties, and, although for the purposes of the decree above referred to, the validity of the patent is assumed, still, I think, in view of the state of the art, it must be held to be valid only for the identical thing discovered or invented by the patentee, the application of the process of washing in cool water, ex- tracting the gelatine by boiling and then steaming and evaporating as applied to salted fish skins.”—Cape Ann Advertiser.

Great Britain's Depressed Shipping Industries.
Some of the causes tending to depress the shipping trade of Great Britain have been described in a recent letter at London. The lecturer said that in the past two years British shipping property has depreciated nearly 30 per cent. In view of the immense increase in construction thereof during late years, this result is not surprising. The world’s steam sea-golng tonnage has in- creased nearly 5,000,000 tons during the past ten years. The total of the world’s tonnage is estimated at 10,500,000 tons. An impetus to this over-building was given by the trade revival in the United States in 2879 and bad harvests of 1881-3, neces- sitating increased European imports of food products. The most pronounced cause, however, was to be looked for in the éxten- sive development during late years of single ship companies. The good dividends paid by the latter caused a great deal of over- building. The French, Italian and German bounty laws offered an inducement to over- production. By means of the last-named device, the French mercantile marine was raised to the second rank in the world’s ship ping. German's carrying trade has in- creased 25 per cent. in the past five years, and 30 per cent. of Italy's carrying trade is now done by her own ships. Other eoun- tries in Europe showed a more or less in- creased te mnage. It is noted that there is a tendency toward a revival in the ship- building trade in the United States. In discussing the outlook for the British in- dustry, it is added that Imperial Federa- tion is something to draw hope from as well as a customs union with the British colonies.
— + <P Farm Animals in the United States
The Department of Agriculture reports an increase in the total number of horses, mules, cows and oxeu owned in the United
States, as compared with last year. The greatest increase is shown in oxen, while mules show a slight excess over last year. In the case of sheep and hogs considerable decreases are shown. As to value, the decline has not bee en very large, being greatest in the case of cattle, which show the largest increase in number. Horses, sheep ‘and hogs have increased in value, while mules have slightly decreased. The
total value of all the farm animals of the States is placed at $2f400,586,938, an in- of $35,427,076 over this time last

has been charged chiefly to the low price of | butter.
