A laughabe incident is related by the Chicago
Evening Journal in connection with the Baptist
convention just held in that city. The recep-
tion committee had been driven to their wits
end TO devise means of LODGING the ministers IN
attendance, and after considerable tri6ulation
found quarters for them all, some fifteen
hundred in number. About fifty were quartered
on the floor of the chapel attached to the uni
versi'y on Cottage Grove avenue, and succeeded
in sleeping very comfortably during five nights.
On the sixth, however, one of the reverend gem
tlcmeu happened 10 wake up at an early hour
and CROPPED about for his clothes, but they were
gOne-nothing that usually arrayed the clerical
person could be found. He sat up IN bed
and scratched his head in confusion not tully
comprehending the situation at first. Looking
around he discovered that Brother Is. clothes
were also absent, that Brother It's big boots
were not in their customary place; and, III TACT,
a thorough examination showed that not an
article of apparel belonging to the half hum
dred ministers was in the room. thoroughly
frightened, the unfortunate Baptist yelled,
top of his voice, and soon his companions
were made aware of the situation. The en-
suing scene can be better imagined than
described. Considerable valuable property was
included with the missing garments, such as
money, watches, railroad tickets &C., and the
situation, to the unlucky victims, was grave in
the extreme. The unclothed fifty rushed hither
and thther in the excitement of the moment,
vainly seeking something they could not find.
One could not but have pitied them, and vet
their embarrassment was ludicrous in the ex-
IRENE. They looked, says the Journal, like
lot of ghosts holding grand carnival in the
early dawn. Finally the news spread, and soon
professors, students and porters were busy de-
vising means for dressing up the unfortunates,
but before they had solved the difficulty pre-
scented, pile of clerically cut garments was
found in an out of the way corner, pair of
boots in another place, and the thorough search
which was then instituted showed that some
mischlevous college boys had played trick
upon them, and hidden their garments in yari-
Gus hooks and corners about the building.
The ministers were finally clothed and will not
soon forget the scare they received.

Subterranean gas is found all along the shore
OF Lake Erie from Cleveland to Buffalo, and ex-
perlments are now in progress at the latter city
TO test Its value for illuminating purposes. The
gas company commenced a well on the first of
FEBRUARY, and struck the first vein of gas at the
depth OF 8l6 feet, below which the gas assures
gave out their contents at nearly regular dis
tances of twenty feet. At the depth of $50 feet
SAT- water was thrown out of the well with such
violence as to show there was a strong impell-
ing force beneath it. The water was then
pumped out and the we'll was tubed, when the
gas began to flow freely A two-nch tube was
then put IN, through which there is now regu-
Lar flow sufficient in quantity to furnish fuel for
a large manufacturing establishment. At the
gas house the natural gas did the work of the
ordinary fuel for the furnaces, small quantities
of coke being supplied in addition now and then
In the retort house its Illuminating powers were
tested through ABOUT twenty pipes. 1t did not
work well through the ordinary burners: but
these being removed, and full vent allowed to it,,
it gave all the light necessary, though clear,

Thus the population of London has increased
in seventy years 240 per cent, that of England
and Wales has increased less than 140 per cent,
and that of the United Kingdom less than 90
per cent. If we may assume that the same ratio
of growth will continue for seventy years long
er, the babe born this year will, at the age of
three-score and ten, find in the United Kingdom
OF Great Britain and Ireland population OF
nl!tHy.nVe millions, one-hfth OF which, or eleven
millions, will be crowded together in one great
city upon the Thames.
