A BRILLIANT STUDENT.
Teachers have a good deal to p#t up with. The professor of mechanics at an English college records that he once gave a leoture upon the locomotive, and was particularly struck by the absorption of one juvenile listener. He spoke to this student after the lecture, and asked him, " Well, I suppose you understand all about the locomotive now?" "Yes," was the reply, "aJJ but one thing." " And what is that ?" said the professor, kindly. " I can't make out what makes the locomotive move without horses."
