What London Eats

ALI London was horrifed, not long
ago, at the report published by the In
spector of Factories and Bake-Houses of
the metropolis. From defective drain
age, from butter made of Thames mud
and fusl oil, i. e., whisky, Londoners
have suffered and still suffer. But they
did not think that their daily bread
would be found to be an object worthy
to mingle in the hellbroth of the witch
es' caldron in macbeth. Yet what does
Mr.. Lakeman tell Dust, cobwebs, in
sects innumerable, even stabbed horses
may be found in the public bakeries.
Chickens are roosting above the baking
troughs. Liquid manure is running
around the flour sacks. Buns are laid
to cool over open sewers. With all this
and more does he officially double Lon
doners up in qualms of agony. Pres
emily no doubt there shall be indignant
denials and an extensive advertisement
where, and where only, pure bread can
be bought. Before queting the food
question the fact must be recorded that
but for the importation of American
beef the price of the native roast beef of
Old England would be ! crown pound.
Here is fact for which only the pride
and prejudice which have blinded the
nature of John Bull prevents him from
conveying his hearty thanks.

The Young Canadian Woman and the
Courts.

A young woman lives in Canada who
believes that the commands of Holy Writ
were meant to be obeyed. She was
summoned to testify as witness at the
Wentworth Assizes in the Province of
Ontario. When called to the stand she
refused to take the oath required by law,
on the ground that the bible forbade all
swearing. The court convicted her of
contempt for persisting in her refusal,
and she was committed to custody for
forty eight hours as punishment.
This judicial proceeding is exceedingly
discreditable to Christian community.
Are human beings to be cast into prison
in this century because they try to OBJ
serve the precepts of the sermon on the
Mount?
Il say unto you swear not at all?"
These were the words of the great
Teacher of mankind. Their meaning is
plain. People try to pervert it. The
command is inconvenient to comply
with, and so they seek a more comfort
able Interpretation. We think this
Canadian girl understands it in the trne
sense.
Judges have often said that in Christ
ianity is part of the common law. It
must be an exceedingly unimportant
part in a country where tho law pun
shes person for refusing to do what
Christianity forbids.

It has been ascertained that a full hu-

calm, can be heard at distance of 460
feet; In an observable breeze powerful
human voice with the wind is audible at
a distance of Is, 84Ofeet; the report of
musket, $1,000 feet a drum, 10000
feet; music, a strong brass band, 49,
$40 feet; very heavy cannonading, 575,-
600, or 80 miles. In the Arctic regions
conversation has been maintained over
water distance of 6,696 feet. In gases
the velocity of sound increases with the
temperature in air this increase is
about two feet per second for each de-
gree centigrade. The velocity of sound
in oxygen gas at zero G. is 1,04O feet !; in
carbolic acid, 85S feet in hydrogen, L.
164 feet. In 1927 Colladon and Sturm
determined experimentally the velocity
