RI Raw. Bishop L. O.

The following item, taken from the
columns of an exchange, will no doubt
be read with interest by our many
readers: Bishop Lse. OF De aware, is
now not only the presi3ing bishop Of
the American. Churco, but also the
senior bishop Of the entire Anglican
Communion. He was eiected to be the
first bishop Of Delaware in Sal, by the
unanimous vote of the clergy aud laity
present. in convention. When he took
his seat In the House Of Bishops, the
same year, he was the thirty eighth in
the succession of the American episco-
pate, that body then consisting of only
twenty -One members, Since his ccnse-
Grafton there had been, up u the meet
ing of the last general convention,
|ninety-four bishops concentrated, ei
whom seventy.eight had died, one been
deposed aud four resigned, 10 that the
House of Bishops then cousi steal of six
ty-three members, just three times the
number when Bishop Lee took his seat
OF the 1872 bishops who have been conse
Grated during the century since the
American Church was organized,
Bishop Lee is only the eighth who ha
lived to be the senior bishop"

Sunshine and Human Health.

For some considerable time past the
astronomer royal and his assistants
have been weekly reporting the signifi-
cant fact that the recorded sunshine
during the seven days has been, upon
the average, nil. Prima facie it is only
photographers who need be affected by
this intelligence. What can tpossibly
matter to the world at large if there is
not sunshine enough about to discolor
a pit of sensitivized paper? AS a mat
ter Of fact, however, the discolorization
of sensitivzed paper is but one of the
many processes due to the chemical en-
ergy of the sunlight. And prolonged
absence of sunlight is a very serious
matter Its effects upon the health are
direct and perceptible. We get no
ozone, and we become dull and listless
as if we had been sitting up all night.
When thus out Of tone and below par,
we are consequently deficient in that
vital energy which would otherwise en-
able us to shake off any ordinary all
ment. Nor is this all. Absence of
sunlight for any considerable period is
almost invariably followed by epidemic
outbreaks. When the sun is active,
filth of all kinds putreties as it collects.
When there is no sunshine filth collects,
accumulates in masses, and ferments.
These fermented accumulations are q
source of positive danger as soon rs
the sun resumes its activity. Decom-
position under bright sun is compar-
atively harmless. Slow decomposition
in the dark is especially hostile to
health We need no chemist to tell us
this; but, at the same time, it is as well
to bear the chemistry of common life
in mind. When the astronomer royal
reports total absence of sunshine we
ought to be especially careful, and. it
may be added, children suffer moro
from the suns rays than do adults.
Adults have only to keep alive; chill
dren have to keep alive and grow,
which entails double amount of chem
ical work. Now, if there be no sun
shine, we can best supplement its alb
scnce by exercise. And yet, strange
enough, the absence Of sunshine is re-
garded by most mothers as a sufficient
ground for keeping children within
doors. 1t is, on the contrary the rea-
son why they should be sent out and
kept out as much as possible. London

Exploration in Australia.

An exploring party, under the lead
ership of Mr.. Charles Winnecke, an
experienced explorer and buShman,
has just made successful Journey
through a large portion of unknown
country in the interior of Australia.
The party was provided with camels
and horses, but the latter were never
required. Mr. Winnicke made a start
from Cawarrie station, on the Warbur-
ton river, in latitude % degrees, and
traversed the country to the north as
far as latitude p degrees, etfecting a
connection with previous explorations
near Goyder's pillars. A most re-
markable natural feature in the Tail
ton range was discovered by Mr.. Win
nicke during his Herbert river explora-
tons Several long stages without
water were encountered few days af-
ter the party left Cawarrie station, and
distance OF 100 to 800 miles had to be
traversed across the highest sand ridg-
es in Australia before water couldbe OBJ
tanned. The camels behaved nobly, al
though carrying immense loads weigh
Iug pclN cCu wv anu CND I)buUUS tdCn.
The party had recovered sufficiently in
two days to make the second stage of
about $50 miles without water. MANY
long stages of between 100 and 200
miles without water were travelled, and
although the leader was far from well
during the greater part of the time, the
discipline and order OF the party were
such as to prevent the occurrence of
any mshap. In many instances the
sand ridges, which were from 800 to
400 feet high, and very steep, had to
be crossed at right angles. Two large
rivers and an extensive range were dis
covered near the Queensland bounda-
ry, and altogether Mr.. Winnicke sue
ceeded in mapping about 10000 square
miles OF unknown country, which will
help to fill in another large blank space
on the map of Australia. -SydAey

Three Thousand Novels.

An English publisher, calling atten.
ton to the fact that during the year
1883, $40 works of fiction were pub
lished in England, says that readers
do not increase in proportion to the
number of novels printed. On the con-
trary. during the last two or three
years the number of readers of circu-
lating library novels has been steadily
and largely decreasing. This, he says.
is probably to be accounted for mainly
by the excess of fiction in other dircc-
tons. Novel readers, who used to re-
sort to the Libraries, now get their full
supply in the daily, weekly and month
ly journals. 1t is said that for every
novel printed and published, probably
ten are written and rejected. Thus,
then, one has to contemplate over 5000
novels being written in one year, of
which $50 see the light, and of these,
only about 25O pay the expenses of pro-
duction, the whole of the remaining
mass of writing and printing being la
Dor lost.
