May stop the Coinage ~ OF silver.

SAN FRANoIsco, June 6.-The employees
at the mint have been agitated for a
week or two by rumors that the end of
the month may see a wholesale dismissal
of coinmakers 1t is said that the rea-
son for such step would be the stop
page wholly or in part of the coinage of
silver, and it is believed this policy, if
adopted, would affect all the branch
mints in like manner. Superintendent
Dimond said today:
81 have as yet received no orders to
reduce my working force, but l have
heard various reports as to the suspen-
sion of silver coinage at the end of this
month, which closes the fiscal year, and
l would not be surprised to receive an
official notice at any time of such a
change. There is now in the vaults of
this mint $36,000,000 in silver dollars,
but there is storage room for at least
that much more, SO the reason for the
suspension of coinage cannot be lack of
vault room

TORONTO, Ont, June S.-From almost
every point in Canada, comes the tidings
of universal sorrow at the death of Sir
John Mcdonald. Every where signs of
mourning are to be seen.
Arrangements have been made to fire

An autopsy will be made on the body

LONDON, June 8.-When the trial of the

his address for the defense. Ffs,
Solicitor General Sir Edward Clarke
the leading counsel for the plaintiff in
opening his plea said: "It has been

continual presence in court during the
trial of this suit has been for the pur-
pose of restraining the tongues of law
yers from commenting upon the Prince
of Wales connection with it, Facing
the Prince of Wales the solicitor general
remarked: 1.-The counsel for the
defendants had said if the jury found
for the plaintiff and disregarded the
document the latter had signed at
Tranby Croft, the military authorities
would take the matter up and that Sir
William Gordon Cummings' name
would be struck from the army list. l
wish to say in unmistakable terms, .,
exclaimed Sir Edward Clarke '.that it
would be impossible for the authorities
to do any such thing and leave on that
list the name of Field Marshal Prince of
Wales.''
This bold statement seemed to com
pletely take away the breath of the
audience and caused by far the greatest
sensation of the entire trial. The Prince
of Wales sat on the bench to the left of
the lord chief justice, immovable, not
muscle of his face apparently twiching.

deavoring to appear totally unconcerned.

ANSWER To MRS. KINGSLEY.

EDITOR BULLETIN
If Mrs. Kingsley will read Matt.
1920, she will, find that the young
man who came to Christ and en-
quired, "What good thing shall | do
that may inherit eternal life?" kept
all the commandments, but was I'M
saved. Like many others, he thought
he could do something, and thus save
himself. Christ by his reply gave
him to understand that there was
nothing in the commandments by
whi1h he could be saved. He must
leave all and follow Jesus. Every
thing that was moral in the Deca-
logue is repeated in the New Tesla
ment, wherein is found all that
is required of the followers of
the Lord Jesus. In the New Tesla
ment alone are the commandments of
Christ.
Mrs. Kingsley is correct in saying
that "the Apostles were the heads of
the church." if she means thereby
that they were the ambassadors or
representatives of the Lord Jesus
Christ, sent out by him 10 proclaim
to the world The terms of salvation.
This they have done, no other am
bassador is required. Every follower
of the Lord Jesus Christ is now, or
should be a faithful minister, to car
ry the message given by these am
bassadors TO their fellow-men.
In reply to Mrs. KingsIey's last
question, viz: "Will DR.. Ham
mond acknowledge that the church
had the power to so change Gods
ordinance?" | reply emphatically,
"No!" The Apostles were to speak
in accordance with Gods ordinances.
The Holy Spirit was given them to
guide them into all truth (see John
6;l3). In reference to tradition"
being "a rag of popery." 1t is high
time to drop all such rags" God
has made all the families of the earth
out of one blood to dwell together in
peace and harmony. And as soon
as men will cease following creeds,
culled out of the Bible, and be guild
ed by the Bible alone, then and not
till then, will men cease their Earring,
fighting and quarreIing with each
other, and say with the Apostle John,
"We know we have passed from
death unto life because we love the
brethren" WILLIAM HAMMOND.

Raising Water In London Docks.

In lieu of mourning the immense ex-
pense of excavating the London docks to
accommodate the increased size given to
modern ships, large pumping engines
have now been set up, and the water in
the docks is raised by this means. Some
idea of the demands upon these engines
can be had from the size of the docks,
one of which has an area of nearly ten
acres, the pumps which raise the water
having capacity of 6S5 tons per minute
and raising the water level five feet in
Que half hours.
Centrifugal pumps of superb work
manship are employed, driven direct by
compound tandem engines, and the power
Of these pumps is evident from the fact
that the inlet orifces to the main pumps
are ffty-four inches in diameter, and,
when worked together, the three pumps
have a capacity to raise 57,600,000 gal
Ions of water in five hours, against an
average head of ten feet. The pumps
are arranged to be worked separately
and independently or together, as de-
sired, and the engines are supplied with
steam at a hundred pounds pressure by
powerful boilers. York Sun.

The Greathead Underground System.

The cars are supplied with longitudinal
seats, lighted by electricity, and luxuri-
ously cushioned, the passengers facing
one another. The locomotive is an electric
motor, picking up its electricity from a
central rail through which the electric
current is conducted by copper wire;
and inasmuch as, for each track, there is
a separate tunnel only trife larger than
the train (Which fills almost the whole of
the annHlar space, except only at sta
tions), each train acts as a piston, driving
out, from station to station, the air
through which the preceding train
passed.
The stations are connected with the
open air and are not more than three
quarters of q mile apart; any foul air
which gathers in the tunnel is thus ex-
PEELED by each passing train. Indeed,
the air if the tunnel is Of a more equable
temperature, and is kept more constantly
moved and freshened, than the air ON the
surface; and frequently ON dark and
murky days it has been noticed that the
air and atmosphere, strange as it may
appear, are far more pleasant in the tun-
mel than on the street surface.-Simon

The Big KimherIev Nina.

No pen can adequately describe the
appearance of the Kimberley mine. 1t is
the largest hole made by man, and in the
shortest space of time, for the incentive
to work was there-the diamond A
spectator standing on the edge looks
down and sees men at work looking like
ants in size, and during the blasting
hours he can in perfect safety witness
the explosion of thousands of pounds of
dynamite and note the rending of masses
of blue and rock, which would fall far
below him.
AS an honor to the late Chinese Cor

writer saw the Kimberley mine illumin-
ated at night with thousands of impro-
vised lamps. assisted with colored fires
and displays of fireworks. The weird
effect produced was grand. for the eye
could not properly measure distance at
night, and the twinkling lamps but
served to heighten the effect. Engineer
