A NOVEL ENTERPRISE IN LONDON.

A novel exhibition is to be opened in Lon
Ion in May, 1886, its object being the rep
resentation oFAmerican life for the benefit
of Englishmen who have never crossed the
Atlantic ocean. 1t is proposed to have
complete display of all the products Of this
country, manufactured and. natural, and an
immense panorama is to De provided for the
presentation of American scenery. Harm
less, heslthful and mirthful amusements
were such successful feature Of the recent
Health Exhibition, which attracted sufi-
cient crowds to South X nsington to give 3
clear profit of $4,000, that it is probable
that the same feature will be made proui-
neut in al similar exhibitions in England
for many years to come, ensuring throng
of patrons from beginning to end. The ad-
vantage of frequent exhibitions like the
one to be held in London year from next
May would be very great and that fact
should be distinctly recognized at time
when oyer-production has reduced prices to
a point below which they have seldom de-
scended. The people Of Europe would con
sumo much greater quantities of our pro-
ducts we're they more familiar with their
eScellencies, and the contemplated exhibi-
tlou can be maze to contribute so gener-
ously to that result that it deserves the
earnest support Of all Americans.

CATHOLICS IN COUNCIL.

To morrow q most notable event IN the
history Of the Roman Catholic Church in
the United States will be celebrated in the
opening of the Plenary Council OF the
clergy of American church in Baltimore.
The general object of this convention, as
of that Of its predecessors, is the binding
together in good will, for good purposes, Of
bishops and priests for seminarians in theo-
o.y and Christian laity in schooling.
Tie specific objects are those of ecclesias
o jurisdiction and consideration Of the
nae sion of Catholic education. With the
crmer the general public has no concern,
except to note that the relation of the
church to the negro is to be discussed. So
far as education is concerned, the action OF
he Council will be watched with interest
1t is with peculiar fitness that Baltimore
is chosen as the place Of meeting. There
he first council of tie church in any Eng
ish-speaking country, since the Reforma-
ion, was held in 1929 In the history Of
MARYLAND itself the Catholic church has
bad a great share. Two Jesuit priests Ian
ded there in 1888 from the Ark. In 1911
the Proprietary had long and bitter dis
pute with the priests. Later, by the writs
ofCRoNwELLs commissioners, nc man of the
Roman Catholic faith was allowed to vote
in Maryland In the Queen ANNE war with
France it was made a crime punishable
with fine and imprisonment for any priest
to exercise his Office in any way, and a
'arifF of pound sterling a poll was laid on
all arriving Irish PapistS."
The present Council marks the great
Gberality with which the United States
'reats all religions. In the State where
once they were outlawed the Catholics
now hold their Council in all the pomp Of
the Papal power. The contrast between
heir past and present condition is striking
1t is q proof of the wisdom of WASHINGTON
when he said: AS mankind becomes
more liberal they viii be more apt to allow
that all those who conduct themselves as
worthy members Of the community are
equally entitled to the protection Of the
civil government

THE ANNUAL RAIN OF STARS.

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
nights Of this week, if the sky is clear,
watchers who turn their eyes heavenward
may witness wonderful sight. On those
days the earth viii revolve through the
meteor zone" and the skies will be filed
with falling stars" as they have been
every November since the second century
Of the Christian era. 1t is to the capture of
comet by Uranus that this brilliant
shower is due, and the soeslIed meteors
are the particles of "cosnic dust" which
followed in the comets train. 1t is from
the constellation Leo that the falling stars
seem to come, and watch should be direct
ed to that point in the heavens. How many
viii fall and where they will fall is un-
known, but it is by no means impossible
that some Of them may verify. to a certain
extent, the legends OF MrLHArrAS.
