LAY REPRESENTATION Reports re-
garding the vote in the Methodist church
on the question of admitting lay delegates
have been received from nearly two hum
dred districts, and it stands 0l,134 for
and 1916 against. Two hundred and
two districts are still to heard from, and
they will probably show about the same
results. The point has been raised that
as there are at least seven hundred thou
sand adult in the church, and less than
half have voted, the remainder should be
considered against lay delegation. But
under the resolution the majority of the
votes cast is decisive.

Sabbath school Picnic.

Editor IF the Herad,-The Pawlet,' and
Dandy Sabbath School picnic. came off
IN Thnrsday the 9th, according to ar
rangcments. and notwithstanding the in
clemency of the weather, it WAS etidedly
the largest pic ever held here, and
one which will long be- remembered by
the people Of these towns. The number
Of people present. was estimated from one
to two thousand, and many more remrined
away for fear il might rain, as there were
strong indications, and in fact it did rain
slightly Mt intervals during tho day. The
picnic was held in the grove near the
residence Of Mrs Eunico Reed, it being
ono Of the finest spots In town for that
purpose.
Great credit il duo to the committee.
consisting Of Daniel Fish, William Otis,
Warren Vaughn and William Vail, ss-
sisted by f. J. Reed, K N. Smith, p. Hol-
ton, F. r. Hawiey, Silas Bucklin, J. Dill
lingham and others, for the very able and
successful manner in which they PERFORM
ed their duties, in fitting up the grounds
for the accommodation Of 30 many. The
table WAS some two hundred feet in length
and large and commodious platform,
for the speakers and Band was also erect
ed.
The Sabbath Schools Of Pawlct were
out in full numbers, the Congregational
and NJ. E. Societies being represented,
also the NJ. E. Sabbath Schools Of this
town, Rev. z. G.. Pickett of Dandy, Rev.
Mr.. Stone of the Congregational Church
of Pawlet; J. B. Brownley, Esq, Of Paw
let Chas. H. Congdon, Esq, Of Dandy,
and others entertained the children and
people some two hours, with very interest
ing and appropriate remarks. The Band,
although not all the members were pres-
ent, enlivened the day with their excel
lent music, thereby contributing much to
the enjoyments of the occasion.
Another pleasing feature was the sing
ing by the NJ. E. Choir and Sabbath
School, from the Borough, which also
added greatly towards making the day
attractive.
After these exercises were concluded, .
procession was formed, and beaded BY tho
Band, marched to the table, which was
spread with bountiful supply of all kinds
of satables. After these were partsken Of

LUNAR HEAT-Lord Rosse has been
moasuring, says Once Week, the heat
that comes TO us from the moon. Using
one Of his great rejecting telescopes as a
burning mirror, he has condensed the
moons rays upon one Of the most deli
cate Of heat gagers-a thermo-pile. With
out being able TO determine by what frac-
ton of Fahrenheit's degree the lunar
warmth increases the temperature of the
terrestrial atmosphere, he has found. as an
approximation, that the radiation from
the moon is about the ninety-thousandtb
part of that from the sun. He conceiS0
that the variation of heat from one satel-
ite follows the same light as that of its
light, viz: that we have most warmth
from the full moon, and least from the
nearly new. By comparison with the
terrestrial source of heat, Lord Rosse esti-
mates the actual temperature of the
moons surface at lunar midday to be
about five hundred degrees Fahrenheit.
The scorching results from the slow rota-
tion of the moon, which makes its day
equal to our month, and from the absence
Of any atmosphere to screen the lunar
world. Years ego, Sir John Herschel,
who has more than once proved himself q
prophet by his sagacious inferences, re-
marked that "the surface of the full
moon exposed to us must necessarily be
very much heated, possibly to degree
much exceeding that of boiling water"
Fpntsnelie and his followers to the con-
tary notwithstanding, tho moon can be
no place for human beings, unless they
are salamanders.

WRITING.-The Pail Mall Gazette
thinks there is room for improvement in
the mechanical process ~ writing. Since
machines have been made to facilitate the
execution of almost every other kiud of
work, we no good reason to differ
from the views of the Gazette on writing
Think seriously about it, and what can he
more cumbroua or vexatious than our
mode of writing? II involves the max
ing Of ink, the making Of pens, the pro-
curing of paper, and of blotting paper or
ponnce. the possession of separate re-
ceptacle for the ink, the carrying Of the
pen over to dip it into the ink. the con-
slant interruption of the flow of thought
TO replenish the TOW Of ink, the longer in
terrupton at the end Of the gage to blot
the writing or cover it with pounce. Then
observe the varieties of torment that may
be introduced into this already complex
operation. The pen may be bad the
paper may be bad the ink may be bad
bad in color, or too thin or too thick, or
may Qike copying ink have a smell, or
Qike copying ink again may remain sticky
and smeary for hours after it is written
with Each Of these possibilities creates
some fresh nuisance for the writer, and
interferes with his comfort, and therefore
with the ease aud effect OF his compost
ton. His pen leaves a pathway of blots
on the table, between the inkpot and the
paper, or has to be shaken out by his side
after each dip to the disadvantage of the
carpet. If not, the writing suffers.
Every al" is surmounted by u round
pond, and the tails of the 's, "g"s, and
other oaudale letters, foam little lakes OF
ink to be dissipated into broad ]sgoons on
the pressure of the blotting-paper. Then
think of hairs in your pen, of black
smears up the side of your finger, of pens
digging into the paper, or gliding inno-
cuously over greasy spots In word.
the pen and ink are thoroughly antiquated,
aud fit for place in the kcnsington Mu-
scum, near the antiquated Italian coaches.
Who will rise up and give us pencil
which shall do all the good that the pen
and ink do, with none Of their draw
backs
