a big Blast.

The preparations for the great
blast which took place Sunday in
the entrance to New York harbor,
known as He'll Gate, lave been 60
ing on for several years, at an ex-
pense of several millions of dollars.
The object was to remove a part OF
the reef off Hailett's Point. SO as to
enlarge the channel. For this pur-
pose nearly three acres of the root
had been undermined and charged
with various kinds of nitro glycer.
inc explosives. The roof of the
mine was ten feet under the water
the depth of the excavation made
varied from seven to twenty-five
feet; the aggregate of the length o.
the tunnels ana galleries was 7,42t
feet, and IN excavatlng these tun
nels and galleries over 1900 cubic
feet of solid rock have been blasted
and removed. This vast under
ground and under-HiVer chambei
had been charged with nitro glycer

which exploded simultaneously. ]

BeatI, OF Bishop Jaaes.

The Methodist Episcopal Church
is again called to mourn the death
of one occupying the highest posi-
ton vouchsafed to the ministry of
that denomination. Bishop Ed
mund Slower james died in the city
of New York last Monday, after q
brief prOstrstion, caused by the
care. anxiety and grief which cul-
minated in the death of his much
loved wife few days since. The
deceased prelate was born at Shelf
field, Massachusetts, in 1907, but
spent his early life chiefly in Sails
bury, Connecticut. Reaching man
hoods estate, he taught school for
some time, in the meanwhile pre-
pairing for the profession of law ;
but, being directed otherwise, aban-
doned his law course to enter the
ministry of the church in which
he subsequently, mounted to such
honorable position. In 1910 he be-
came the Financial Secretary of the
American Bible Society, and held
that Office until 1874, when he was
chosen Bishop. For over thirty
years Bishop james has adorned his
episcopate, as presiding officer, as
delegate to foreign conferences, as
insp sctor of the German, Scandi-
navian and Swiss missions in Eu-
rope, as visitor to European Bible
Associations,and as q true Christian
at all tiHes. As q man in official
and social life. Bishop James pos
sessed q smoothness and polish
quite equal, if not superior to any
of his co-laborers in the church
His loss is q great one to the
church, and will necessitste the
early selection of some man from
the ranks of Methodism to wear
the shoes and mantle, which with
Bishop James were never sullied OIL
made impure, either by word o.
lips or act Of hand.

this spotless unit become one of

squalor and filth, at which even 8
Digger Indian would shudder.
Fifteen Cinnamon will live, sleep
and cook, in 8 howell or cellar

issue continually from the COM

through which John and his fell

for when Coo Lee has nothing TO

remember. The visitation of these
insects every two, three or four
years, is getting to be q matter of
vast importance to the people of
the sections which suffer from their
incursions, and we may as well
make up our minds to meet the
matter in some practical way now
as at any time. There is no doubt
in our mind but that, out of all the
experience, observation and infor-
nation in relation to the visits Of
the hoppers, some practical way
can be DEVISED to rid ourselves o.
them. To that point this question
has come. Now, as to what tina
way is, we are not prepared to say
but it seems to US Governor Pills
bury's suggestions to reach TIL
end are most timely and sensible
And in view of the fact that TIT
ground has been newly filled witt
eggs, which will produce q crop t
operate against next springs work
e there is no time TO lose. Million
of acres of wheat, recently sown
have been eaten up, but that shOul
+ not fill US with alarm. We shout,
3 act in this matter as we do in 9th
ers. Let Us find out, by consulta
ton, by counseling together, wins
e is best to do, and then do it. Thi
is fight for possession of this Ian
! and the whole west, and the quicke
s we go at it squarely and determined
= ly, the better. We have little fear {

t much damage in the spring befor

. fernal eggs destroyed will say
Z our neighbors from trouble an
y probable destruction of crops.
