Amgaiciti FASTING EXPERINIENT.—Dr. Tanner, who has
undertaken to abstain from food 40 days, is said, by the
New York papers received on Sunday, to be under strict
medical observation. Twenty-eight New York doctors
keep continuous watch. Tanner Laski in the sun during
the day, sleeping as much as be can in the fresh air, and
periodically rinsing his mouth with water. Wet cloths are
applied to his head when be wishes, Tanner talks freely
with the watchers, who examine him at intervals, but
says the effect of such watching on his nervous system is
worse than going without food. He varies his system by
an occasional brisk walk round the hall, and when he is
not being interviewed by the visitor*, who &readmitted at
a quarter dollar each, reads the newspapers or hears music.
After • cold bath he goes back to bed His face in sleep is
said to have • ghastly whiteness, but he has • good deal of
ht oil him, and his temperature is fairly maintained.
Should the doctors find his symptoms dangerous they will
stop the experiments, but Tanner is sanguine of success.

of the present season in Scotland, in addition to the

before, the roadsides being bright for miles with the
delicate white and pink of in blossom. Writing from

CATHEDRAL CMIS AND CORRUPTION.—Cheater will
probably have to regard itself fortunate if it escapes
a commission which may be somewhat damaging to
its reputation. It certainly is somewhat curious bow
badly it has fared with our cathedral cities since the
general election. Four of them—Chester, Gloucester,
Canterbury, and Lichfield—have failed to rebut the
charge of political corruption which has been brought
against them. While the vacancies at such places
as Gravesend, Evesham, Tewkesbury, Plymouth,
and Wallingford were promptly filled up, no new
writs have yet been issued tor Canterbury and Glouces-
ter, and the prospect is that Chester will be similarly
kept in a state of painful suspense. Cathedral cities
should be centres of sweetness and light, but it would
seem that politically it is difficult to maintain they set
a very lofty example to the rest of the kigdom.—Hants

CANNONADING OIL TAFEL—The frequency with
which, in America, lightning strikes and sets fire to
oil tanks, spite of protecting rods, is remarkable. (A
probable explanation may be found, perhaps, in the
conducting column of vapour which rises high above
the tanks). One Friday morning lately, an oil tank
at Titusville, Pennsylvania, was thus struck. The
resultin; fire raged till Sunday night, consuming
200,000 barrels of oil, crude and refined, and
destroying property to the amount of 1,500,000 dollars.
The terrible phenomenon of "boiling over" of oil
from the burning tanks occurred. To empty quickly
a tank holding 20,000 barrels of oil, which is on fire,
is by no means eery. The pipes connected with the
tanks are utterly inadequate in the circumstances. A
happy thought struck Biz. Herron, of the Titusville
Battery. He brought one of the Parrot guns of the
battery, loaded it with solid shot, and began firing
against the three-eighths iron sheets of the distant
blaring tank. The first shot glanced, but subsequently
volleys pierced the shell, releasing a large quantitLof
oil that would otherwise have fed the flames. Vie
battery was then moved to two other tanks, also
burning. Large rents were made also in these, and
the liberated oil ran harmlessly down into a stream.
This novel target practice greatly shortened the
duration of the fire at these tanks, and so drained
them that the flames died out for want of fuel, and no
"boiling over" resulted.
