Brooks. who has long been In advance OF his Church
on many questions affecting the moral and spiritual
Welbeng OF the people, preached an important SER
mon to-day, devoted to review OF the recent Epis
copal Convention held in New-York City. In regard
to alterations and retlcnchments in the Prayer
BOOK he said that I'm the long series Of years that
had elapsed since tho present Prayer Book was
formulated, many changes had taken place OF which
cognizance should be taken in this religious ex-
preston. and 1t was not strange that things, which
were acceptable to tho Mother Church in England
should IN day be found unsuitable to the young
Church in America. Things had been put into the
PrsyerBook whose application grew less in our
day than in the past, and there things IN 1t
that never would have been put there II subject TO
the judgment and religious Inspiration growing out
Of the present time and out Of existing aims. The
condition and growth Of this country should be
sIdered in this connection, for America greater
than other lands. not only in material development
and resources but in prospective moral and intellectual
advance. They should be bound by narrow con-
strucions Of the past in constructing the right and
obligations OF the great church life OF tho present

should be wholly fitting ones rather than some that
selected from the PrayerBook mainly because

II appears that no mortgage had been executed

GLYCERINE IN LENSES FOR SHIPS.
NEW INVENTION FOR RUNNING LIGHTS TO
BE SUBMITTED TO THE MARITIME
CONFERENCE.


Washington, Oct % (SpeciaD.-0ne of the most
complex problems which the International Marine
Conference has 10 solve is that with regard to a
ships running lights. Several propositions or plans
have been submitted TO the Conference. and with
some Of these, experiments have been made by United
States vessels of One that has attracted most
interest thus far is the series OF tests made by the
gunboat Yorktown with the double system Of cOlored
lights with white lights and with electric lights.
The delegates from England have received report
of a new invention recently tested which for its
distnctness and visibility has been found superior In
many respects to the electric or any other lights
The principle of the new light consists in the
employment OF band Of glycerine in conjunction
with an ordinary glass lens used for ship 5
side lights receptacle for the glycerine being pro-
vded between two glass walls the outer the lens,
the inner one a plain band of glags joined at the
bottom to the lens. Thus the light from the burner
has TO pass through the gycerige band and then
through the glass lens. 1t is claimed that as com
pared with the glass lens alone, che glycernc lens
is much more effective instrument for the collection
and distribution Of the light rays, and mat the cah4ie
power of light showing through the former j.
much less than that Of The light showing through
the latter. II is admitted by practical navlgai0IS
that il is most important discovery If the practical
lines bear out those Of theory. II IS said that several
successful trials have been made with the new system
under the supervision OF the London 6oarI OF IdaY,
with red and green shades, against the ordinary
regulation glass lens tor sidc lichS similarly ried
The results were said TO be decidedly in favor OF
the glycerine lens but In respect OF the red lens
the results appeared 10 be very conflicting inc
variations in the records OF the latter were claimed
