One of our reporters was told the other
lay the rather funny experience of the st.
James congregation had when un organ
vas first introduced into that church. 1t
occurred in the year 1910. Daniel Ostran-
Ter was then the presiding elder of the
district, and j. z. Nichols the pastor of
ihe church. OF course, rs well known, it
is the custom among the Methodist churches
10 have the presiding elder preach in every
church in his district about once in every
three months. And SO just after the new
organ had been put i'll the church, the pre-
iding elder, the Rev. Daniel Ostrander,
anne to Kingston on his quarterly rounds.
lie proposed preaching at st. James IN
lie morning, and just as the church bells
Lad stopped tolling lie marched up the
middle aisle of the church, swinging the
nroad brim white hat that he was accus-
.omed to wear. Just then the organ In

10 annoy the elder, although he managed
to give out the first hymn from the pulpit.
The choir sang it, accompanied by the
tones of the organ. He stood it manfully.
Then after other intervening exercises he
gave out the second hymn, and just rs the
organ was about to toot out again, he
spoke from the pulpit desk and told the
urgunist to stop that fiddle or music-box in
The gallery aud sing this hymn to the praise
| of the Lord. OF course this incensed the
choir, and they would not sing at all.
! Silence then brooded over the church for
several minutes. Finally the pastor, the
| Rev. Mr.. Nichols, arose, and saying that
| he believed he could start the tune himself,

the organs assistance, much to the delight

As early as the year 1916 rails of oak or
other hard wood are shown by MIR. Clark
to have been in use in the colliery districts
of England. Not long after this time it
became common practice to nail down
bars Of wrought iron on the top of the
timber sleepers. 1t was found that where
as horse upon the common road could
draw bolls, or ZOO pounds of coal, his
power upon the tramwny amounted to 10
bolls, or 4, 200 pounds. The wrought iron
bars not being rigid enough to prevent
bending or breaking ut the ends under the
weight of the trucks, the use of cast-iron
was introduced by the Coalbrook Dale Iron
Company in 1867. The rails were cast in
lengths of feet inches wide and Il inch
thick, with three holes whereby they were
nailed down to tie longitudinal wooden
sleepers, the whole being kept true to
gauge by cross sleepers of wood of about
the length of the ordinary carriage or
wagon axle. Here was the germ of the
HONClop"Cho VA ouC tioiSih ioSo'hO''S
system. On the introduction of steam it
became needful that the traffic should be
kept apart from that of tbecommon roads,
and that the new tracks should be subject
to gradients and curves suited to the loco
motive. The main lines of communication
were thus rapidly occupied 10y network
of railways. A reaction, however, set in
on its being found that railways, besides
their vast expense, were lacking i'll ADAPT
ability to the subordinate liAes of traffic
which followed roads and streets. The
convenient and unprrtentious trnmway be-
gan to be again thought of, worked as Of
old by horse power upon common roads. 1t
was in the United States that the modern
tram-road was earliest employed, the first
section by the New York and Harlem line
being laid down in 1882 to gauge of 4
feet s. inches. 1t proved, however, I'M
popular, and was soon taken up. Twenty
years later NJ. Loubat, French engineer,
obtained leave to lay down II line of stl eet
tramways in New Yo,k, which rapidly ex-
panded ana became the distinguishing fea-
ture of traffic in most American cities and
towns, in which the streets are laid out in
way better adapted to this mode of loco
motion than in the narrow and wildlng
street of our older country, while the
number of other vehicles is comparatively
far less. .-Sutuday Rerteoc.

In reference to the absorption of solar
heat by the atmosphere, Prof. Stone of
England presents the following interesting
conclusions, as the result of his studies,
namely: First, when the tension of W.
por is small, the radiation is greater than
the average; second, the north and north,
west winds, which contain little vapor,
show greater intensity of solar radiation
than the south and southeast winds; third,
the hourly changes, due to the varying al
titude of the sun above the horizon, are
well marked, and allow approximate de-
termination of the solar radiation as un
affected by the absorption in the atmos-
phere-this latter varying from minimum
of ten per cent. to maximum of ten per
cent; a change in the elevation of the
station, from 40 to 800 feet, diminished
the absorption by FIVE per cent

IT is intereeting to note the number OF
important inventions due to the ingenuity
of persons whose occupation lay entirely
out of the line of mechanical pursuits.
Whitney, who invented the cotton gin, was
a school teacher, and Fulton of steamboat
fame was an artist painter, as was also
Samuel F. B. Morse discoverer of the tele
graph. Brindley, the greatest civil en-
gineer in England before the present cen,
tury, was totally deficient in scientific
training Arkwright, the inventor of the
spinning machine, was a barber; and
Cartwright, the inventor of the powe,
loom, was clergyman, who had never
even seen weaver at work. Roebuck
the originator of the modern iron manu-
facture of England, was physician a
Birmingliam-and so the list might b.
much extended.

iety of the authorities to get them back
to Cuba has very naturally excited their
distrust. When Senior Aldama, who is
now in New York, was exiled for the en-

dollars, were confscated. The amnesty
decree has restored to him all his posses
sions, but, Notwithstanding the fair
promises of the Spanish masters of the
Island, he, with his fellow countrymen,
is afraid to risk his life in their hands.

A SUGGESTIVE experiment was recently
made by DR.. Tyndnl, in one of his scien-
tic lectures in England A metal tube,
about seven feet long, had a ring of gas
burners around it at the distance of two
feet from the bottom, as also several gas
burners below it. When all the burners
were lighted, and after boiling began, jets
Of water were thrown out from the top
of the tube with some violence, the water
thus expelled being constantly returned to
the tube from receiver fixed above it.
The explanation given of this action is to
the effect that the increased ebullition of
the water above the ring of gas burners
lgltens the water above the ring more
than below it, the boiling point always de-
pends upon the pressure, and when the
pressure on the lower portion of the water
is thus tighten d, that portion begins itself
suddenly and violently to boil, because of
the partial removal of pressure. 1t is
thought tie experiment may explain the
action of the geysers and perhaps other
natural phenomena.

M. LATRY has recently brought to the
attention of the Society for the Encourage
ment of Industry, Paris, simple method
by which ivory dust and the dust of bones
can, by means of an agSlutinatiye sub
stance, and under the influence of a high
temperature and compression, be moulded
into variety of articles, suitably colored,
and of extreme hardness. This seems to
meet all important desideratum; for it is
well known that, in the manufacture of
paper knives, keys for musical instruments,
and other articles, large quantities of ivory
dust are constantly produced, and though
endeayors have frequently been made to
utilize it by means OF some cohesive solu-
ton which would enable the mass to be
moulded into useful or ornamental forms,
the attempts made in this direction have
hitherto failed.

SCIENTIFIC.

ACCORDING to the Matchmaker, there are
more than 1900 different sizes of watch
glasses employed in that beautiful indus
try. The method of grinding these is to
provide two pieces of cork, one concave
and one convex-which may be cut to
shape after fitting the lathe-taking a cop
per cent, or other suitable object, and soft
soldering a screw to fit the lathe, and wax
ing it to tie cork; these, with an inexpen-
sive emery wheel, such as is used on sew
ing machines, comprise the essentials for
cutting watch glasses. The edge should
be polished on the zinc collar OF the
emery wheel, or piece of zinc employed
for the purpose; the other cork should be
waxed to penny and centred. Spectacle
lenses may be cut on the same emery
wheel, if the wheel is attached to the lathe
so as to revolve. Another method is to
take piece of common window glass
green being the best-and make a grind
stone of that, using the fiat surface to
grind on; it is cemeuted on n large chuck,
the gass being from 2 to 2.5 inches in
diameter. Anyone not familiar with this
method would be surprised to see how fast
the glass is cut away.
