IN. stronso.. Man in the world.

There is man in Nevada, named An
gela Cardelia, who claims to be the
strongest In the world. Hei an Italian,
aged thirty eight, and stands 8 feet 10 in
ches, weighing 1888 pounds. His strength
was born with him. for he had no athletic
training. He differs from other men
chiefly in the osseo@ structure. Although
not Of unusual size, his spinal column Is
double the ordinary width, and his bones
and joints are made on similarly large
and generous scale. He has lifted 200
pounds with the middle finger Of his right
hand. The man stood with one foot
on the floor, his arms outstretched, his
hands grasped by two persons to balance
his body. Cardelia then stopped down
and placed the third finger Of his right
hand under the mans foot and with
scarcely any perceptiblc effort raised him
TO the height Of four feet and deposited
him on table near at hand. Once two
powerful men waylaid Cardelia with in
tent to thrash him, but he seized one in
each hand and hammered them together
until life was nearly knocked out Of them.
His strength Is inherited. for he says his
father was more powerful than himself.

Lieutenant Grcely's theories respecting

Lieutenant Greely's theories respecting
the North Pole naturally meet with much
opposition in England. 1t was his for
tune during his imprisonment In the
Arctic to upset the conclusions reached
by Sir George Mares and his companions
respecting the Pal@ocrystic Sea. Having
controvcrted what the English explorers
assumed TO be facts, he cannot expect TO
have his own theories pass unchallenged.
Lieutenant Greely believes that there Is
ON ocean 1, 800 miles in diameter. round
about the Pole that never freezes; and
conjectures that the Pole itself Is the
centre Of an ice.cappcd land covered
with ice from 1000 TO 1000 feet thick.
These conclusions arc rejected by promi-
ncnt Arctic authorities In England. 3

A DIsAPPoINTMENT.- torpedo invented ly
Captain Howell, United States navy, has been ex-
perimented with under the observation Of officers
of the torpedo station, at Newport, r. l., last
week, and the result hiss just been made known.
The torpedo is similar to the Whitehead inven-
ton, except in propeling power. The cost of the
latter is nearly So 900, but Howell hopes ulti-
mately to bring his instrument TO perfection at
an average cost of $500. The two propellers are
driven by~n heavy tly-wheel, to which velocity
of nearly 2C0 revolutions second is impaired by
the engines on the steam launch, which is me-
cessary part of the affair. The torpedo, with its
whirling wheel, is dropped overheard, pointed to.
ward the mark, in the direction Of which it shoots
straight as an arrow, deviation in any direction
being prevented by rudders governed By pendn-
lums, which tip with ally deviation from straight
line, and correct the variation by turning the
rudder. The experiments last week were
witnessed by Commander Converse, acting on he
half of the torpedo station. He was on the steam
er Nina The experiments were to give facts re.
garding the working Of the mechanism. To the
chagrin Of the inventor and observer, the torpe.
does almost instantly disappeared rs soon IS they
had touched water, going completely out OF sight.
Of course, no report, save of their loss, cnn he
made These torDeloes were unchanged 1t is
quite possible they may he found floating near by,
Int no trace of them has bten found at present

TROUBLE IN A CHURcH.-In January last
Rev. Father ]. f. O'Sullivan, pastor of St.
Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, in Camil-
us, n. Y, was slenccd in his Office OF the
priesthood by Bishop McNierny, who APP
pointed Rev. William FL. Ryan, formerly of
Utica, to the passionate. Father O'Sullivan
claims that he has not had an ecclesiastical
trial, and refuses to leave the pastoral resi-
donce, or to deliver the keys of the church
to his successor. Father Ryan, who has
been boarding at hotel in the village,
asked for the keys yesterday morning by a
messenger, and afterwards demanded them
in person, accompanied by two trustees of
the church. Father O'Sullivan refused to
give them up. At l O'Clock Father Ryan
went to the church and celebrated mass,
and after the sermon denounced Father
O'Sullivan, who was present. His mother
became violently excited, and, running up
the aisle to where her son sat, asked in O
loud voice if he would stand it. Father
Ryan called meeting of the congregation
after the service, to take action in the mat
ter. Father O'Sullvan entered the sane
tuary, and said he would preside. Father
Ryan requested him to leave, and then or
dered him to 60. Mr.. O'Sullivan still re-
fused, and motion was made to eject him
by force. Several rushed toward him when
Father Ryan declared the meeting adjourn
Ell, and ordered all to dispense. Father
Ryan left for Albany last night to see the
Bishop.

TRIALS OF THE PRINTER.-Careless penmen
know little or reck little of the loss of time and
temper consequent on the obscurity of their
heiroglyphics. We hold that, as rule, there is a
beam in the eye ofthe author for every mote that
lie detects in the eye of the printer Such cx-
pressious SIS printers errors" and errors of the
press are often very unfair.
The author himself is most frequently the
primary cause of the errors which provoke so
much annoyance. They are tho Nemesis of the
injury be inficts by his bad handwriting on the
humber man of letters" Surely authors have
only themselves to blame when the inte-preta-
ton OF their handwriting is rendered matter of
speculation rather than plain matter Of fact
Where the copy is a smudgy mass of dark hints
and subtle suggestions as TO what the author
wants to haze printed, errors of necessity;
but why blame the printer?
According to our experience it is wonder That
'errors of the press" are not more frequent aud
more fragrant than they actually are. Generally
speaking authors are almost az careless with their
proofs they are with their copy, but they seem
remarkably Gexterous in detecting after publ CT
ton, errors which they Lad ample opportunity to
correct in the proof sheets.
