An English electrician has invented
a material which he calls alterion. for
the preventionsof corrosion in. boilers.
The interior is coated with this, and
currents of electricity are passed
through the boiler, and from time to
time reversed. The formation of the
scale Is prevented by a layer Of hydro.
gen gas, which Is deposited upon the
inner surface of the boiler. The re-
versed currents reform the hydrogen
into pure water, a thin layer Of pure
water being thus kept all around the
boiler.

in great pits, in one I.l eleven nun
dred and fourteen burialsl The
carts would come up with their
great burden Of twenty or thirty
to the mouth of the pit, and the
front of the cart was lifted and the
dead shot into the pit. All the
churches i'm London were open
for prayer day and night, and
England was in a great anguish.
At that very time, at a hotel, at
a wayside inn near the chief burial
place, there was a group Of hardened
men, who sat day after day ard night
after night disappearing God and lmi-
tating the grief struck who went by
to the burial place. These men sat
there day after day and night after

they scotfed at women, and they
scoifed at God. But after "a while one

these words shall reach them, either
while they are sitting here today or
through the printing press, let me tell
them TO remember the fate of that

The Merits 81 Volapuk.

One of the most weighty arguments
in favor of Nolapuk is that of all its
various limitations and SO called inn
provements none have been able TO
secure even a very small foothold and
scarcely a second hearing, while VIOLA
puk has stood the test Of ten years
and has been Endorsed and accepted by
the greatest philologists of the world,
and has gained already a world wide
adoption and diffusion. II is also
worthy of note that no one who has
criticised it has ever been able 10 sug-
gest or construct a better language in
its place. II is so simple, SO regulur
and so scientific in its structure that il
is well worthy a perusal as a means of

not considering the great business
