LIFE OF JESUS.

IT is well-nigh half a century since David Frederick Strauss published his "Life of Jesus." Since that time, in addition to polemiaal writing« without number bearing on the main theme, not a few formal bio graphies of Christ, some of them quite copious, have made their appearance in Germany. But sinco the noble book of Neander, which is one of the most effectual, though 'indirect,' teplies tol3Taus9, saw the light, no book in this department baa bern writton that is more deserving of attention tha.n the work of Dr. Bernard Weiss, the first volume of which has lately been issued. The high standing of Weiss among Few Testament scholars is sufficiently in dicated by the circumstance that after the death of Meyer, the Prince of the New Tes tament commentators of the later time, he was chosen to revise and recouipo-o the subsequent editions of the fatnou3 " Exe gotical Handbook" of that eminent oritic. Weiss had before published extended criti ttcal works upon the Go«pels of Matthew and of Mark, in which he has exhibited a rare critical tact and a very accurate and profound acquaintance with the original Gospels. In his "Biblical theology of the New Testament" be has given proof of a like intimate knowledge of the .New Tes tament writings iv their entire compass. '1 he announcement that this leatned theo logian of Berlin had brought together the results of his loDg study of the Mew Testa ment Scriptures and of Christian antiquity, in the f jrm of a biography of Jesns, excited lively anticipations ia all earnest minds who are interested in those inquiries which relate to the foundations of Christianity. 'i'he volume before us will not fail to satisfy the high expectations entertained respect ing it. The style is fluent and animated It is encumbered with few notes and refer ences, such as are apt to load down the pages of German theological writers in a way to affect the ordinary reader with drowsiness, if not disgust. Yet this omis sion of learned apparatus is not made at the cost of thoroughness. Reasons are uniformly given for the opinions that are advanced. There ate no traces of dogma tism, at the same time that indecision and' ambiguity are avoided. Every page gives evidence that the work springs from lipe investigation and reflection. The extraor dinary familiarity of tke author with every part of the New Testament enables him to marshal his proofs and illustrations briefly and perspicuously, and seemingly without an effort. The " standpoint" of Weiss is that of a liberal orthodox supernaturalism. He be longs to the same general category of scientific and critisal, yet evangelical and belieung, scholars to which belonged Nean der,Tholuck,Bleck,Muller, JNitsfcch, Meyer, and other illustrious men among the dead, and snch men as Dorne'r among the living. Giving full crodit to the supernatural mission of Jesus, and ito the facts of the Gospel history as recorded by the Evange lists, including the miracles and toe Insurrection, and accepting in the main the doctrinal beliefs current in the Chuich, Weiss is one of that numerous and increas ing body of Christian theologians who dis. caro. the traditional formulas of the infalli bility of Scripture, and hold that the narra tives of the Now Testament, although free from all intentional fraud and substantially trustworthy, are, nevertheless, not free from discrepancies and inaccuracies Which it is the business of criticism to consider and to adjust as it best may. JNo one who reads the work before us will doubt the candout and independence of the learned author. Free us ho ia in his judgments, there.is no trace of irreverence or flippancy. There in no discernible bias to warp the mind of the writer, either in the direction of traditional assumptions dt of ambitious innovations. In a word, the spirit of the work is both scientific and Christian.

The inquisitive student will look with keen interest to tho opening discussion,. which' threats of " The Sources " of the bio graphy of Jesos,—the origin and character of the four Gospels'. Those who are conver sant with Weisa's previous writings will find on this topic no new opinions, bat they will find an admirably clear restatement of the views which the author has elsewhere pro pounded. In agreement with most of the German critics at the present day, he holds that the oldest evangelical writiog was a work as the basis of our first Gospel,—a collection of the Lord's discourses by Matthew, with which, however, was con nected from the first no inconsiderable amount of the narrative matter included in the existing form of the Gospel. The Gospel, of Mark was next in the order of composition —a book written by a companion oi Peter. This Gospel, Weiss shows, is not the result of the amplification of an earlier wiiting by Mark ot smaller dimension?. The main prop for sach an hypothesis is removed when it h perceived that the original Matthew contained certain narratives as well as discourses, these narratives being thus independcntof Mark. Luke had be fore him the primitive Matthew and Mark, together with other documents,—one of them being a Judaic-Christian writing which betrays its otigin in is style as well as contents. On this general theory, Weiss conceives that tho resemblances as well as differences of the Synoptic Gospels are cap able of complete explication. In his work on Matthew he undertakes to carry through the existing Gospel the line of demarcation separating the primitive matter from that subsequently introduced from Mark and from other sources. Weiss is a strong defender of the genuine ness of John's Gospel. This final Gospel was composed, he ia fully convinced, by the aged Apostle whom Jesu* had loved as friend as well as a follower. The evidences both external and internal, are strch that the supposition of a spurious authorship is excluded. But as regards the fourth Gospel, Weiss makes some concessions which removes the difficulties, as ha thinks, which are commonly alleged in dispioof o! its Apostolic origin—concessions which really serve to bring the opposing parlies on this question of the real character of the fourth Gospel into come degree of approximation to one another. Weiss holds I hat the reports of John are a free re production rather than a closely accurate record of the teaching of Jesus. We have in John, according to Weiss's view, an ele ment of explication, even an element of un consciousdevelo{ftoent,mingledintbeJohan- nine reports of the Master's instruction. Germs of teaching are hera and there ex panded. A subjected elefaent is thus in termingled ; an element not implying, as the sceptics have contended, non-Apostolic authorship, but due to the revolvihgs of the Lord's sayings in the mind and heart of the Irving disciple, under the manifold ex periences of a half century, during which the Jewish state was overthrown, and much that was obscure in the words of Christ un folded itself tohis mind. Weiss holds that it is possible, with the aid of the critical microscope, to separate, certainly to a great extent, these' subjective elements which tinge the Johaonioe record of the Lord's teaching. That record, he maintains, is essentially historical. 'I'he relation of the prologue of the Gospel to the discourses of Jesus which follow prove? thit the Evan gelist did not go so far in remoulding the Master's teaching as to break loose tr.im the moorings of a substantially faithful recollection. One of the 'most interesting sections in the introductory portion of the work before us is entitled " Ocular Testimony and Tradition." were the eye-witnesses of the life ot J2su? t the first disciples themselves, in a .situation to observe accurately the events that occurred! Wonld they not be hindered from closely oorreot observations by preconceived ideas and fancies 1 Those who a«k these questions overlook tho tact that the apostolic circle was under the strict moral oversight of Jesus, and was auarded by him from shariog in the exag gerations of popular feeling. The necessity ot radically subverting their traditional ideas of the Messiah's kingdom, and the inward and outward conflicts to which they were consequently exposed, formed an an tidote to erroneous fancies, and an eflectual curb to a misleading imagination. It must be conceded, however, that the interval between the heariog and the # recorct in» of the occurences of _ which the disciples were directly cognisant an wa room far unconscious departures from entire accuracy ef recollection. That which most strongly affected the mind is most persis tently remembered. The variations of detail in the Gospels-for example, the oc casional dissonant form in which the Lord's sayings are given—shows the inevitable effect of time on'memory. Tradition, even if the gulf spanned by it is short,. will betray the modifying effect of influences from which it {cannot escape. The great safeguard in the case of the Apostles was the sense of the obligation of truth, which pervaded their minds. In intercourse with Jesui they acquired, moreover, an essen tially correct as well as vivid picture of his person, his teaching and life ; and this pic ture, stamped indelibly on the soul,.pro tected them from all wide deviation irom strict historical -truth in their accounts of him, : even in the particulars of these accounts. With regard to John's Gospel,

there )g hero, indeety ',' a magnificent free dom' which marks the dosing stage in the progress of transformation through which the tradition hail been passing for a number of decades. ".Here, however, as we have seen, there lie everywhere at the founda tion rich recollections of an ear-witness of the words, discourses, and conversations of Jesus ;_but in the proportion in which the increasing remoteness of time excluded all thought of an immediately authentic iepro duction of particulars in. their form and con nection, and in which the didactic inte-est more and more influenced the record, the freedom of the reports must grow wider and wider; and we have seen how even the eye-witneas could the more readily and in nocently avail himself of this freedom, the more completely he felt a'sured against a mixture of material emanating from him self or from heterogeneous sources." The possibility that oral tradition in the lapse of time should gather about itself jegendery accretions, and at last transform itself into pure legend, Weiss concedes. But, in the case of the evangelical history, the room open for the growth of legend was small, inasmuch as the whole groundwork of the Gospel narratives was committed to writing within 40 years after the events described. Moreover, the oral tradition had acquired a fixed form in the Apostolic circlo at Jerusalem evon prior to their date. As far as the birth and childhood of Jesus are concerned, the intetval between event and record is longer; but it must be remembered that the mothor and brothers of Jesus survivedhhn, and were prominent in the Jerusalem Church. The first dis ciples knew how to distinguish between the miraculous and the non-miroculous; and if, nero and there, a miraculous aspect ia given to experiences which are capable of another interpretation, it is only because the marks oj a particular Providence wore discerned in them, and because so many actual and undeniable miracles ia connec tion with the life of Jesus wero known by them to have taken place. With res pect to the mythical tbeory of Strauss, Weiss shows that it was in fact abandoned by the anthor. Strau-s makes tha previous idea as to the Messiah, among the Jews, tar more definite than it really was. Had the myth-making propensiiy existed, it would have taken a direction very diverse from anything that appears in the Gospel narra tives. It is far nearer tha truth to say that the events moved the early disciples to look up the prophecies, aad shaped their inter pretation of Uld Testament passages, than to say that the passages led to an imagining of the events, " The more we seek clear ideas concerning legend and myth, and concerning the condi tions of their origin, the more do we come to the conclusion that the application of these conceptions within the domain of the evangelical tradition ia admissible ; or that, ia any case, it is little more than an empty strife about words, whether one shall name such ideal features as attached themselves fro the popular tradition, legen dary."

Having handled, in the first book, tbo great qnestion of the Sonrces and the essen tial credibility of the Gospel history, Weiss proceeds to consider in the second book " Di* Rustzoit," or the preparation of Jesus for his public activity; and, in the third book—the last section of the volume, " Die Saateeit," the period of aocd-sowiug, or tho early divisions of Christ's career as a teacher, It is impossible wiihin the limits of this [notice to follow him in the details of those im portant chapters. He is much ino:e con servative iv his judgments than those whose belief in the evange:ical history is identified with the traditional formulas of inspiration might be led to expect. For example, he defends the tact of the miraculous birth of Jesus, on groundi of purely histoiical and exegetical criticism. He maintains the truth of the essential facts in the visit of the magi, and the flight into Egypt. On the question of demoniacal possessions, where bo many theologians, not to be classed with Rationalists, are inclined to suppose an accommodation on tbo part of Jesus, if not to tne vulgar opinion, at least to the delasive notion of the afflicted per sons whojn he was to cure, Weiss adheres to the older and mote prevalent view. He holds that the outcry of the maniac in the synagogue at Capernaum is thoroughly at tested as an actual occurrence, and as one of a class of phenomena which oblige us to presuppose a demoniacal influence. This, it willbs obierved, is a questioa which is taken, not as the result of any tbeoiogigal bias, but on a careful weighing of historical tes'imonies.

There are numerous points on which the independent student of the Gospels may not unfrcqucntly find occasion to dissent from the opinions of Weiss ; but the bo 4 informed theologians and scho'ins will appreciate most highly tbe value of this noble work, and will await with im patience ths appearance of the second and concluding volume, it is a work which will probably ba translated into English, and finds its way into thehandsof all minis ters who do not Wish to be ignorant of the ablest and most instructive productions in the literature of theology.—" Sydney E yon ■ ing News."

Utilising the Earth's Heat.

A. novel idea haa emanated from Japan, There has lately been a profusion of sug gestions for new applications of old foroes —the tides, the waterfalls, the wind?, the waves, and the heat of the sun. But one great, although not easily accessible, source of power has been overlooked—namely, the earth's own internal heat. At a recent meeting of the sseismological Society of Japan, Mr Milne introduced tbe subject for the consideration.of the members. He drew attention to the commonly-received notion that the whole available energy on the surface of the earth had in some way or other its action and its existence traceable to the sun; but no mention was made by those who held this view of the fact that there is a vast supply of energy in tho in ferior of the earth. In speaking ef this energy Mr Milne called particular attention to that portion of it which crops out upon the surface in countries like Japan, Iceland, and New Zealand, in the form of hot springs, solfataras- and volcanoes. Coming to special particulars, he stated that there was an "unlimited" supply of water in hot springs within a radius of a hundred miles around Tbkio, and that the heat of those springs could be converted into an eleotric current, and the energy transmitted to the 'town, to be utilised for either the illumina tion or the healing of the houses. Of coarse, the geysers of Iceland might in like manner be brought to do service in Beikjovik. There is even a possibility of Vesuvius challenging Niagara to a trial of strength. Mr Milne went a step further, by contend ing that it was possible to obtain access to the heat which did not crop out on the sur face. This is about the biggest job that has yet b'eeu cut out for the bold spirits of the next generation.

The Theatre of the Future.

IN view of the catastrophes of tho theatre of Nice and of the JRiog Theatre of Vienna, MM. Franz Rotb, municipal architect of the latter city; Hanz Kautzky, decorator of the Court theatres ; and Kobert Gevinncr, claim to have invented a theatre which shall be absolutely fret from the danger of fire Their plans are now bjing exhihitod at Vienna. Every part of tho building.except the stage itself, ia to be made of stone and iron. The scenery, of all kinds, is to be set and raised entirely by water power from belos>, thus also avoiding the liability of seene-sMfters and carpeuters to falls. By this expedient it is alleged, moreover, that an inexhaustible vista is opened out of stage effects hitherto undreamed of, so that the " Aephaleia," as the theatre at present on paper ia called, is to revolutionise scenic art in a manner eminently worthy to engage the attention- of H err Wagner. Among other contrivances less meant for safety than for effect is a sort of "perspective" surrounding the stage, calculated to give the effect of " infinite distance " if required. For the more proper purposes of security, every row of spectators is to have a separate exit, and gas escapes are to be rendered harmless by special modes of ventilation. The curtain is to be capable of Being lowered from outside the building. Foot lights are to be abolished, and electric lighting from the wings substituted for them. All the staircase 3 are to be of a certain width, and four of them are to run straight into the street from every gallery. Perhaps,while our own theatres are passing through their present transition period at the bidding of the Lord Chamberlain, it might be worth the while of some enter prising manager to visit Vienna, and examine the merits of the Asphaleia. Increased capacities for stage effects might be considered a set-off against the disadvan tages of such a costly article as public safety,—London "Globe."

The teacher wanted to give his class the benefit of what he knew about the inevit. able circle; but before doin? so he asked, "What can't be squared?" No answer for a few seconds, wben a treble voice piped 'out, "The account old Jia. Clark owe* a/ther," ; *' -

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT A SALVATION MEETING.

A TiHRIBLE accident, by which a large number of persons were seriously—aoine, it is feared, fatally—occm red at Hanley recerttly. A short time before the hour ap pointed for the usual evening service, at the Imperial Circus, in connection with the "Salvation Mission," under ex-Captain Gipsy Smitb, who, a short time ago, was the cause of a split in the "Army," a preliminaiy " holiness " meetiHg.attended by about 300 members of the congregation, was being held in an ante-room adjoin ing the building, and over a part of the circus formerly used as circus stables, when the floor gavo way, precipitating moßt of those present into the lower story, ihis produced a terrible panic, maiiy persons liaviug their legs and arms broken, and all the others being m.ore or leas bruised, shaken, and tenified. A gneat number of women fainted, and for a time lay amidst the debris of the floor as it dead, until rescued by people who camo almost immediately afterwards to the evening ser vice in the circus.

The panic which followed the catas tropho cannot be described, and what tended to make matters worst was the un fortunate circumstance that a man, whilst trying to turn the gas on fully, turned the key tha wrong way and darkoened the building, and amidst the darkness a general rush was made at all the doorways and passages, numbers being knocked down and trampled on, whilst othcrs_ were seriously crushed. The danger was in one" sense increased by people in all parts of the buildiDg who had kept their scats striking matches, and probably a tenible disaster might have followed had it not been for the presence of mind of Mr James Bedford, an ex-town councillor, who in structed the band, in the terrible confusion caused by the groans of the injured and the screamta of the tctritfed, to play up one of the popular airs so common "nmonsr ihe Salvationists, a s soon as posablo tha gas vjas re lit, and the work of extricating the injured commenced. The corridors of the building wero litoially strewn with men, women, and children, it being impos sible for somo time to ascertain the extent of the injuries recoived. Drs. Philips and Spanton were speedily fetched, and other medical men afterwards enme oii the scene, but so serious were the injuries that some had received that they had to be immediately removed to their homes and treated there, whilst many limbs wero broken and serious injuries received, the extent of which cnnimt at present be ascertained. Chief-Constable Windlc with Inspector Hall and an elliciont staff of police officers were speedily on the spot, and did all (bat was possible to maintain order and convoy the wounded to their homes.

In the first confusion many females ran home terror-stricken as soon as they could escape from the building, leaving their hats, shawls, tto,, behind them. As the people came out of the various churches and chapels of the town the news of tho dis aster became known, and a gttat crowd flockid to the scene, tilling tho streets in the vicinity of the circus to such an extent that locomotion was nlmost impossible. The police at a late hour bad not by any means a complete list of the injured, in one of the ante-rooms wero placed a largo number of umbrellas, luHs, bonnets, etc., waiting identification. The cau-o of the accident was the breaking through of a 9in. beam connecting the jorsta of tbo floor.

Saving a Burning Train.

" 0 WHAT men daro do ! what men may do ! what men daily do, not knowing what they do 1" These woids and the truth of them, are forcibly impressed on the mind when we read such stories as that which has just reached us from New York of tho engine-driver who was prepared to sacrifice his life for hi 3 fellow-creatures, under cir cumstances that are well described as un precedented. Nowhere in the pages of Bret Harte, eloquent a? they are with deeds of bravoiy; in none of the homely manly ballads of Colonel John Hay, who believes so firmly in. the Jim Bledoss of modern civilisation ; not even among onr own col lection of songs of the people, some founded on fact, and others kept in tune by tho effort of imagination, snail we liud a title si dramatic and so stirring a3 that pf which the tngine-driv-er, Joseph A. sieg is thf hero. Hid sto^y deserves to be told in all its simplicity and directness, not for tho sake of drawing any particular moral from tho fact that yot another brave man has "Been his duty, ,a dead sure thfag, and went for it thar and then," but as aliowinp that theso days of matter of fact and com monplace contributa their quota to the stirring pages of unsclfiahnets, instant re solution, and spotless chivalry. On Sun day last the Pennyslvania railway train left Jersey with six hundred, and twenty passengers, the engine being in charge of a man called Joseph Sieg. While the train was proceeding at the rate of between thirty-five and forty milos an hour, a most unusual acoident occurred. Ihe furnace door was opened as usual to replenish the exhausted fuel. -Thera is nothing strange or wondcrfui in that. How often have we not all seen at home a railway train rush ing through the night, the open, furnace doir casting a deep ruddy glow upon the surrounding and silent landscape 1 There is no more picturesque moment in the carec: of a railway train; the steam streaking the black night with whi'e, and the engine driver and his companion standing out in bold relief against the reddened back ground. In this case the men in charge of the train suddenly found that they wore enveloped in flame. The cause has yet to be aocurately determined. One account says that the backward draut-ht fchot out this intolerable flame; another Hints that there was somethingwrong wlth^tbe exhaust apparatus'. Anyhow, so swift and violent was the attack from the fiery furnace that before anything could be done tho nearest aar to tho engine cnught fire. There was noting fft the men to do but to clamber over the tenddr for protection jnto tho car riages, to escape_ being burned alive. This they promptly did, and ihsy were sheltered from the heap, as well us in comparative safety. After the first shock oE tho disas ter, the full horror of thu eituation burst upon the bravo engine-driver. The engi neer had fouled the. spring of tho air brakes from the cars. There was no possible nieaus now ot stopping the train. It was running away unguided, unprotected. Naturally enough, with tho tpeed ot tho train the volume of fUme increased; and the constant cracicling of. the first burning car, the smoke, and the flames, spread consterna tion and honor through the unburned cars among the six hundred edd passengers. Nothing but a miracle could now save the burning train j and theso wretched people were confronted with a death a8 terrible a« that which befell the passengers b-v the Irish limited mail, at Aber^ele, North Wales, in the mouth of August, ISGB, The account pf that di*H»t'ei to this day causes a sickening sen ati >n when wo read that " twenty-eight parcels of charred human re mains weie laid in Abergele Church to await the coroner's inquest." What, then, was to be done ? Joseph Sieg, the engine driver,,4ecidod that matter off-hand and by himself. In order to stop the burning train, in ordov to save the lives of those six hundred and twenty passengers it only needed tho devotion of one life, tho daring deed of ono brave man. He resolved to do It, and there and then, without an instant's hesitation, ho prepared to retiace his steps, back from the burning car, back across the red-hot tender, back through the flame, the roar, and the smoke that aur rounded him, to stop the train, or to die doing it. Tor an awful moment or so the engine-driver was lost. .No one could face the blinding smoke; no one could see through the cruel flames, All atojea the paraylsis of tcror which had run through the cars from ono end to the other ceased. The train stopped, the danger was over save for an explosion ; and the fireman, half mad with excitement, made a rush for his plucky comrade. He was alive, but sorely hurt, burned and scorched almost to death by his unparalleled and heroic enterprise. Human nature could no longer endure those intoler able flames, so the gallant fellow bad climbed almost in despair iuto the wa'er tank to assuage his agony. There they found Joseph Sieg, his clothes literally burned off his back, his face, hands, and body cruelty scarified by the pitiless fUmcs. lhere was no more danger now. The six hundred passengers were safe and rendering thanks for their merciful preservation; the burning train was easily extinguished, andreverenty ihey bore the injured man to tho hospital, where his hurts were pronounced to be so serious that recovery was supposed to \ii well-nigh impossible, That such fears may prove unfounded will ljgtha heartfelt pwyer lof fMlto'whom the story'is told.
