 upon movement for evangelizing the masses, which has grown up in marvellously quick time outside of the Church of England, and is to be greatly strengthened if the leaders in the English Church shall give it their counte- nance. It was urged upon the chief Angli- can synod recently that proper overtures should be made to the leaders of the Salva- tionists and it was understood that they would be cordially received. letter writ ten by Booth has appeared in the English papers, in which the good feeling of the Archbishop, as indicated by subscription to the work, is gratefully mentioned, and the best of feeling exists between the two par ties.
 The opinion just rendered by the English Court of Appeal on question of copyright is of interest to this country. It has long been mooted point whether publications got up and prepared exclusively for adver- tising purposes are proper subject of copy right and are under the protection of the copyright laws. The case before the Court of Appeal in England related to pamphlet or catalogue containing designs of furniture and upholstery. It had been prepared by one dealer for use in his business and was piratically reprinted by another dealer for similar purpose. The copyright was upheld and the piracy enjoined. The Court holds that the question of copyright is to be deter mined, not by the use to which publica- tion is put, but by the intrinsic merits of the production.
 ofp al nh who were examined on the Egyptian question the other day had read the newspapers care fully they might have passed a better exam ination. One very nice girl said that the AL exandria which has been bombarded was in Virginia. Another said it was in the south of Italy, near Rome. Another said it was north of the Mediterranean Sea somewhere, but she could not tell where. Another put it near Babylon, having mixed up Alexander the Great with the affairs of that once pros~ porous metropolis. On being asked to give the date of Alexander's career she fixed it at 1492 but whether before or after the Chris tian era she could not tell. She tangled Alexander and Christopher Columbus Another girl said that Egypt was bounded on the south by the Mediterranean sea and on the north by the Nile Mountains A large boy admitted that he was short of informa tion about Arabi Boy, but believed it was the bay into which the Red sea flows and is somewhere near the river Jordan.
 The public has not heard very much about l MT. Edison lately, but he has been at work with characteristic energy getting ready to l illuminate stores and private houses in New York city by electricity. The down town district, which is now complete, covers about half mile square of buildings, beginning at Wall street and bounded in the other direc- tion hy Nassau street and the East river. From fifty to five times that number of men have been emplo, ed for nearly three years in getting the station or district ready. The mains number nine miles and the number oi houses served by them will be 1,3OO. The station contains the largest dynanos in the 1 world, six of capacity fo, 5000 lights each. The machinery in the building weighs 1SO tons and the furnaces and boilers look like those of an ocean steamship. The mains have been tested as the work went on and Edisor is confident that money can be made by charging for his light what the gas compan ies have been accustomed to charge for gas The date upon which the general illumina tion would take place has been postponed SC often that the officers of the company have refused for the last six months to mention any date. It is now announced that by tn. 1st of September, at the very latest, the en zines will be working and at least +, ,G0t lamps will be in operation. That will be tht first really commercial test of the incan descent lamp which is so fast driving the ar' light out, and also the first serious attemp to adapt the electric illumination to house hold purposes.
