SOME GREAT DISCOVERIES.

The Chicago University Scores Some Important Achievements. Almost every day one of the professors of the University of Chicago, the financial machinery of which is oiled by John D. Rockefeller, breaks into print with some new discovery. They keep the world startled and wondering. During the past few years, for instance, the following epoch-making discoveries, among a host of others, have been listed by a Buffalo newspaper as Chicago University discoveries: That kissing causes lockjaw. That a dog never follows an uneducated man. That tht Pennsylvanians are 'turning Into Indians. That Ireland was once a lake. That primeval man had a gizzard. Triat music is antiseptic. That Adam caught fish with a club. That love is a disease of the Medulla oblongata. That a cabbage contains more nourishment than twelve eggs. That Boccaccio was a Swede.

That the American negro is gradually becoming yellow. That Columbus was a grafter. That George Washington likel oniciis and tripe. That John D. Rockefeller is a greater man than Shakespeare. That t^e Junebug has seven stomachs. That Arabia produces more bullfrogs than Bulgaria. That marriage is a form of insanity. It will take the world a generation to ponder over the few propositions here mentioned. The countless others promulgated by the Chicago savants would keep a thousand scientists busy, even if they worked day and night, in three shifts, for fifty years. Certainly, Mr. Rockefeller's money is being well spent. The fact that the public laughs at the oil-born professors and regards them as low comedians is of no significance. The world, it will be remembered, laughed at Copernicus, Galileo and Sub-Lieut. Napoleon Bonaparte.
