petition was filled up BY the requisite NUMBER,
signed by the principal Of the school, and In duo
course received the signatures OF the Commission.

that the game was dangerous. Last summer the
application was repeated, with the same result
AS al reasoning with Mr.; Ryan seemed useless
see no other alternative than applying TO the press
for solution OF the question.
The small ground Is SO crowded with baseball
players thatit would be hopeless to expect space
there. but the large ground would accommodate
twenty or thirty cluos at time and might be used
&C stated periods. New Workers who wish to par

Rev. William Burns, OF Kirkleston, Scotland, and
Mr.. George Gordon. rne reverend gentle

In q few Impressive words, In which he reminded
the congregation OF the active and jealous labors
OF one well known TO them the Rev. William
Burns, O relative oil one OF the delegates. whose
name was revered In Canada, scotland and else
where.
The Rev. Mr.. Burns. q solid and pious clergy
man OF the old parochial type, in measured SEN
fences paid tribute TO the clergyman
who had honOred his name In the Free
Church annals, and then made the crafty.
ing statement to the congregation that the
piety OF Scotland, at the moment, was something
that, judging from the experience of thirty years
ago, he could not anticipate Sunday schools were
better attended There was o healthier religious
tone in the better classes, heretofore too mucn
given to worldliness: and the revivals, formerly
laughed at, were now regarded with religious ven.

address was as to its matter. Unfortunately the
Professors English Is pronounced quite like the
harsh Swiss German, which Is his mother tongue.
The lecturer gave lengthy description OF Berezon,
the principal place OF punishment In Western ST.
IBERIA, where the sun in December rises At hall-past
eleven and sets at hail. past twelve. The cold Is
intense that the human nose frequently Is de-
etroyed by Ats effects. There 5000 exlies live, and
OF their abect condition Professor Kaderly gave a
startling picture. He also described at length

1OEBERGS AND NAVIGATION.
A Scientists Plan for Escaping Collision
with q Berg at Sea.

WIN - AvOEX ~ oeAs
At the last sitting Of the Academy OF Sciences IN
Paris paper was received from M. r. +. Michel
on an apparatus recording automatically the
vicinity OF an iceberg. The recent loss OF the
Europe SAID to have encountered block OF ice,
led this gentleman to consider whether there
might not be some reliable way Of avoiding such
contingencies which are well known to be most
frequent In tine present season, when detached
tceberRs come down IN shoals from the North
Pole, and are Q real danger to ships plying between
Europe ana North America. In the daytime those
huge masses are seen from enormous distances
when there Is no log and when the sun shines
upon them they are then easily avoided. But in
the vicinity Of Newfoundland, where logs are SO
intense as to require constant ringing OF the bell
and even firing OF guns to avoid collisions In Sea
literally swarming with ships, other means must
pc employed to ascertain the vicinity OF an ice,
berg. This Is always accompanied by great fall
In the temperature OF the water within avery ex-
tensfve radius, and 1t Is on this circumstance M.
Michel POUNDS his plan, which consists In having Q
h- metallic necOid thermometer fixed to the side
OF the ships. When the temperature OF the sea
falls below certain limit the needle that marks
the degrees Ii stopped by striking against small
stanty closed, causing q bell to ring, which will
at once warn the o1icer on duty.
