By Charles J. Bellarav, author of “The Breton Mills.” A romance of phalancsteries, free love and erotic discussion well written* but most uncommonly unprofitable.“A Study of Ben Jonson.” By Charles Algernon Swinburne. New York: Worthington Co.Mr. Swinburne is the worst of all critics and one of the most wordy, but the most musical of ail poets. To differ with him la to be unforgiven eternally. The short introduction is tho best of his “Study of Ben Jonson.” He passes almost immediately to an analysis of each play, and here tho reader will do well to follow him cautiously, as his lavish use of laudatory adjectives Rives that heightened color to his words which is a demerit in a picture or a criticism. “Every Man in His Humor” is a play in which “never again did his industry, his conscience and his taste unite in the triumphant presentation of a labor so faultless, so satisfactory, so absolute in achievement and so free from blemish or defect.” In “Volpone” “the singular andmagnificent coalition of powers which served to build up the composite genius of Jonsondisplayed In a single masterpiece the consummate and crowning result of Its marvelous energies.” The merits of “The Silent Woman” are salient and superb. In “The Magnetic Lady” the higher genius of Jonson showod Itself once more in “one brilliant flash of parting splendor.”All these examples are taken at random, and show how indiscriminate Mr. Swinburne is in the use of thut dangerous part of speech* the deadly adjective. It is almost comical that the solid, stolid, pedantic Ben Jonson should be the object of such gusbiug enthusiasm. He might gratefully have expended some of it on Ben Jonson’s lyrics. But of these we have only an allusion in the opening pages, and on page 124 we find this strange assertion that “a single leaf of his ‘Discoveries’ is worth all his lyrics, tragedies, elegies and epigrams together,” and further on, “These notes and ol»servations on men and morals, on principles and on facts are superior to Bacon's in truth of insight. In breadth of views in vigor of reflection and in concision of eloquence. • • For in the very opening of these ‘Discoveries’ we find ourselves In so high and pure aa atmosphere of feeling and of thought we cannot but recognise and rejoice in the presence and influence of one of the noblest, manliest, most honest and most helpful natures that ever dignified and glorifl*xl a powerful Intelligence and an admirable genius.”It is needless to say that it is Mr. Swinburne who alone has found and added io literature this new and long-negieoted and golden treasure. It is a curious chapter and well repays a glance. It is a strong argument on the side of the assertion that poets utterly lack the critical faculty.“The Ten Commandments in the Nineteenth Century.” By F. S. Scbenck, pastor of the Briok Church, Montgomery, New York.Astronomical and Biolojfioal Pursuits in Sicily.SIGHTS OF PALERMO AND NAPLES.andVisit to Pi»Esi’s ObservatoryIuhrn9s Laboratory—Study of MarineLife on the Bmy of Naples*fCorrespondence of the Baltimore Sun.1Palermo, Feb. 10.—Palermo has many attractions. Its fine climate, superb harbor, beautiful gardens and drives and wonderful mosaics bring many tourists here, but it has another claim upon scholars. It was here that the first of the asteroids was discovered. On the first day of the first month of the first year of the nineteenth century the little planet which now bears tho name of Ceres was here revealed for the first time to the eyes of a mortal, who almost became “an Immortal” because of his great discovery.I might have visited the chief city of Sicily and ascended Mon Keale, Pellegrino and the other commanding hills In its vicinity; I might even have gone to the Royal Palace and admired the exquisite Oapella Palatina, which is a part of the structure, without knowing that upon the roof of the same princely residence Piaaai’s observatory is still In existence. I might have done this, I say, if a scientific friend had not requested me. Just before I left Baltimore, to ask a question of the astronomers in Palermo. Professor 8iraon Newcomb is the friend to whom I refer. Tf you have an opportunity,” he said, “ask the astronomers in Palermo if Piazit’s instruments, used about 1800, are still in existence in their original condition and accessible.” This was the one question with which I came charged to Sicily, and it proved to be a pleasant introduction to much that was unexpected. I have often noticed, in traveling, that a definite purpose brings in its train many indirect and unexpected pleasures. So it was with Profetwor Newcomb's inquiry. Without Ceres there would have been no group of asteroids.My first step was to ask the name of the director of the observatory. This led to mv becoming acquainted with the proprietor of the hotel, Mr. Rugusa, who proved to be ft local entomologist and the editor of a Journal of science, II Naturalists Siciliano, published at his sole expanse. He introduced me to another German entomologist. Ir. Dohrn, and I quickly learned that he is the father of the biologist. Dr. Dohrn, who has for several years maintained at Naples n marine laboratory for the study of animal life. Dr. Brooks has often quoted the experience of Dr. Dohrn when he has wished to promote the interests of the Chesapeake Zoological Laboratory.I learned from Mr. Itagusa that Siguor Caceiatore, lately director of the observatory, is not living, and that his place is now filled by Signor Kicoo. But I had no introduction to this gentleman, and felt a little hesitation, quite needless, as it proved, us to calling upon him. At any rate, I was determined not to go to the observatory without first becoming familiar with the history of the discovery that has given it such renown. Fortune favored my research. In an antiquary's shop I bought for a few francs a pamphlet, addressed by Piazzi to his sovereign iu LS08. giving in popular language anroom, saw the methods of Instruction and research, met many of his collaborators and beard the history of the growth of the foundation. It Is, in fact, an institute of biology, with moans of investigation in almost every branch of that most complex and comprehensive of scienoes. There are now places for one hundred workers, and although In midwinter the number of students is not large, aa spring comes on most of the tables will be occupied. There are no lectures or recitations or formal programme of study. Every student must bring brains. The institute will then supply him with every excitement to exercise them In the study of life. Opportunities, instruments, suggestions, aid, are freely furnished, but each investigator must go forward by his own impulses. The laboratory is free from everything that looks toward display. There are books. Instruments ana material in abundance; there are capital draughtsmen and abundant meansof publication. But there is no parade of these advantages. The knowing ones are well enough aware of the opportunities here afforded; the Ignoramus is not wanted. Dr. Dobra's institution is international; the funds and the students come from mauy lauos. He regrets that the United States have not a table. The one American who is now here is allowed the use of a Holland table, if I remember right. To our own naturalists, with whose work Dr. Dohrn is familiar, he sends his kind remembrances. D. C. G.THE ADAMS AT SAMOA.A Narrow Escape from a Storm—BuoysCut Adrift.[Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.1U. S. S. Adams, Apia, Samoa, Jan. 28.—Weexpected to have been on the way to Honolululong before this but the Iroquois has not yetarrived from the Marshall Islands. She leftHonolulu two months ago to come here andrelieve us, after a call at tho MarshallIslands to investigate certain chargesagainst a man who claims to be an Americancitizen. We cannot form any idea when she will come, but when she gets here we will not delay our departure.The Samoan Islands are not so bad as people generally believe. The destruction of th'* fli rt by the hurricane last March naturally conveys the impression that this is a stormy place, but it is nothing like as stormy as our own coast. The hurricane of last March was a very rare exception, and none like it is expected this year. Tho barometer Is our unfailing indicator of stormy weather, and if the admiral had left here when the barometer indicated a storm, as it did, he would have escape J wirhout injury to his ships. Liflfwninf which lt*d to .1st week, January 13 and 14, we bad a storm, but we went to Pago Pago and escaped its violence. The storm was indicated by failing barometer and threatening sky. At 11 o'clock Monday morning It fell lower than we had ever seen it, and we then started fires under the boilers.At 3 P. M. it fell ^till lower, and we then weighed one anchor and were ready to leave the port. At 6 P.M. we got under wav for Pago Pago. As soon as we got outside the storm broke upon us, but our course wni away from the northwest gale to Pago Pago, seventy-three miles southeast of this piaoe. It blew a. strong gaie. It w*-$ raining and a pitch black night. The storm was right behind us and helped us along, and we made a good run. We saw West Cape at 4.20 in the morning. It was so dark that we had anXilt;TUs watch for it. When we came to anchor at Pago Pago, at 8 o'clock in the morning, it was as smooth us a billiard table. This is a perfectly lana-loeked harbor, a secure refuge from all storms.We staid at Pago Pago a week, and returned here eight days ago. The German!A I
