A War Correspondents Engagement.

Ii was arranged, says Archibald Forbes,

for it was he who had spoken-in the
blankest amaZement. Then he had meant
no Insult after all, but something indeed Of
quite a contrary tenor. And here was the

prestige of great paper-whose war cor

scope for making a name, il indeed the

chance; but, again, what a risk! With
my recent experiences, should ] dare to
take that risk? The struggle of conflict
ing emotions made me dizzy.

Scientific Notes.

From determinations made OF the pro-
portion OF carbOnic acid present in the at
mosphere at Cape Horn, "a effected by the
members OF the French Mission, It appears
that the quantity OF that gas there Is only
about 2.56 IN 10000 volumes OF air, as COM
pared with 2.S4, the average quantity in
the atmosphere over Europe.

gentlemen's breastpins, knobs OF walking
sticks. &C.. and the current, which can be
turned off or on at will by means Of a
switch, is supplied b. small battery car
ried in the pocket, and it supplies a good
light for half an hour at least.
Professor Silvanus p. Thompson has in
vented a new form OF electric "meter-
bridge" The wire is two metres long, and
there are two wires, one having 4 resist
ance OF % ohm and the other S.2l ohms.
Contact is made with one or other with a
sliding contact with yernier attached. A

Of mercury-cups avoids the necessity OF
transporting the coils.
Captain lie Vallols and three other engi-
neer officers, at present engaged in Mo-
rocco in making military surveys, accom-
pany the army OF the Sultan this year on
the annual mission OF collecting tribute
from the more turbulent OF the tribes. 1t
is expected that this will result in giving
to the world some new and interesting in
formation OF parts regarding which little
or nothing Is known with certainty at pres
ent.
There is movement Oh foot to develop
the oil fields OF Canada this year. Oil
taken from place $50 miles north OF Ed.
mondton gave, according TO IN analysis bv
Professor Chapman, OF Toronto, the fol-
lowing result: Inflammable volatile mat
ter, 9l.53 per cent. and fixed carbon and
ash, 5.47 per cent. The volatile matter
consists OF hydrocarbons. The gum pre-
sents the usual character and composition
OF crude petroleum."
A note on sudden earthquake-wave OBJ
served on January 18th has been read by
NJ. Bcuf before the Academy OF Sciences,
Paris. At Montevideo, at 1880 O'Clock in
the morning OF the day stated, the water
suddenly fell several feet and then rose in
two successive waves about 1.5 metres
higher than the ordinary sea-leyel. This
phenomenon seems to have been OF strict
ly local nature, as nothing Of the kind was
noticed at Buenos Ayres, on the opposite
side Of the estuary.
Pasteur, Cumberland, and RouX have
reported TO the Academy OF Sciences,
Paris, results Of further experiments on
dogs, rabbits, poultry, sheep, monkeys,
and other animals which were inoculated
with the virus of rabies, by trepanning
chiefly. The object Of the operation was
to ascertain how far immunity from hydro
phoeia communicated by mad-dogs could
thus be secured. AS many as twenty-three
dogs have by the process been rendered abb
solutely safe from the effects of the virus
proceeding directly or indirectly from mad
dogs.

Press CcnsOrsI,ip.

The Russian authorities ruling over the
newspaper press continue TO distinguish
themselves by etfecting the most curious
and, to the uninitiated, most ridiculous re-
suits. When the funeral OF the late Count
Vladimir Adlerberg took place in st. Pc.
tersburg recently the Emperor aud EN-
press and nearly all the imperial grand
dukes and duchesses were naturally the
most conspicuous among the chief mourn
ems, and bis Imperial Majesty even rode
for short distance behind the remains In
the procession, which is an honor reserved
by the Russian Cars almost entirely
Tor deceased members OF their own inn
perlal families. For three days the
Official Messenger did not publish single
word about this great public funeral, and
all the other journals gave their different
accounts without uttering a syllable as to
the presence Of the Imperial family. They
were, OF course, deferred by the standln ny
order iorbdding all mention Of move
ments OF Imperial personages until Off
cially chronicled in the Government Ca
zette. Yet the fact Of the Imperial pres
ence at the funeral was telegraphed the
same night TO Moscow. and unreseryedly
published the next day in NJ. KatkoT's ia
yored Journal.
Not long ago the Russian press authori-
ties did another wonderful thing. They
refused TO allow the teegraphic account OF
q serious and fatal anti-Semitic riot i'm the
interior, copied from the Official newspa-
per OF the province In which II occurred.

Rlact.l,ce dresses will be largely worn
during the summer instead OF grenadine.
Ladies always wear their hats and gloves
TO any sort OF a day reception unless asked
to receive with the family
Irish popIin was selected by the Queen
a. the wedding-gown OF her grand
daughter. the Princess Victoria, OF Hesse.
Harpers Bazar tells Mabel that blue
flannel dress, one OF white null trimmed
with Oriental lace, checked summer SILK
or cashmere, and some pretty gingbams
and muslins for lawn-tennis dresses viii

A pretty novelty for summer dresses
especially for young girls-is fine whlte

patterns. i'm very delicate blue, green, or
china colors. and trimmed with Florentine
lace, which IS an exquisite kind OF Tor
chon.
A connoisseur insists that the safest way
OF telling genuine Turkish or Persian
rug is to put red-hot coal upon the rug
and leave it there for moment. and then
II. on taking it off, the charred place can
be rubbed so as TO leave no trace OF the
burned wool, there Is no doubt but that
the rug is beyond reproach.
A great deal OF ribbon in the way OF
clustered loops and belts and bows is seen
upon the summer toilets in preparation for
young girls-a fashion not at all new, but
so becoming to the freshness OF fair,
youthful face and the grace OF youthful
figure that II dropped for time il must be
subject to frequent reyivas.
Among the art fabrics, a new, soft six,
light, perfectly diaphanous. and intended
for summer draperies, has made its APP
pearance, which holds more delicate color
than could be believed or conceived. ii is
in pale olive and yellow, and has small,
lealess branches with berries scattered
over il in dull reds and browns and greens.
II is an exquisite design for hight dress
draperies, combined with silk, muslin. or
nuns yelling, which this season is found
in all tints and colOrs.
A novelty among the French dresses they
have brought out is the spring tailor dress
made OF alpaca in styles as severe ~ those
OF cloth costumes, and with simple stitch
ing for trimming. Ecru, champignon
browns, and gray are the stylish shades
for alpaca dresses, and the qusllty Is that
OF the heavier kinds without too much
gloss, or that super-lustre which artists say
makes a fabric look "tinny." The light
weight Of alpaca will commend itfor spring
and summer dresses, and it is made up on
silk foundation in long coats and straight
folds that do not require soft and flexible
fabrics. There is a fancy for using some
watered silk OF the same shade as the alpaca
in the skirt-pleatings OF these dresses, and
then adding some narrow folds or mere
pipings OF red silk surah or other contrast
ing color.

Philopolis, 9th District.-Much has been
written heretofore in reference to the improve
ments at Jessop's M. e. church, and yet still more
might be said, for the old church and its beauti-
full surroundings are certainly beyond question,
worthy of every ones praise / only wish / was
privileged as to present to the readers of your
paper the whole history of the same, but time will
not permit However, it affords me pleasure 20
state that since Messrs. Stewart, Rowe and others
have greatly enlarged the grave yard a general
interest has been manifested on the part of the
members of the church towards identifying the
sacred spot in the way of laying off lots &c. The
church is in very much need of repairing, and 1
am glad to learn that steps are being taken in
that direction and trust that the undertaking
may be pushed through. A liberal donation has
already been rendered the congregation.
1t is very gratifying, indeed, to hear that our
esteemed friend and neighbor, Prof. Thos. Cor
such, who has been for some years teacher ofian-
guages at Milton Academy, has improved in
health to such an extent that he now contem-
plates taking his annual trip to Europe, startin
on June goth, and no doubt it is the wish of his
many friends that God-speed may accompany
him.
The Senior Gunpowder Club will hold its next
meeting at the residence of Mr.. L. M. Bacon, on

The funeral of Walter Knapp, who was acct
dentally killed on Saturday, while he and his
older brother, George, were out cunning, on the
farm of Capt Love, near Cockeysville, took place
at Jessop's church on Tuesday last. The deceas-
ed was IA wears old and was much thought of by
the friends and scholars of the school to which he
belonged.
