MIXED THOSE BABIES UP.
Queer PredIcament of Priest at a
ST. Louis Christening.

ST. Louis Christening.
One of the queerest incidents that
ever befell a Catholic priest in the per-
Torrance Of his duties occurred at the
old Cathedral not more than week
ago, and was witnessed by q large
crowd who were viewing the decora-
tions. The baptismal ceremony was
being performed at the font and the
recipients OF the sacrament were a.
pair of lusty-lunged twins. One of the
youngsters had come into the world
weakly and was baptized instantly by
an attendant. The priest got wind Of
the matter, and when the time came
for performing the ceremony asked
the godmother which was the regener-
ated babe. CONSERVATION reigned su-
preme. The twins had got hopelessly
mixed, as usual, and the similarity of
appearance rendered Identification
impossible. The nurse was called in
and eyed the babies for birthmarks,
and gave it up in despair. The priest
ended the dilemma by giving both the
youngsters conditional baptism, and
the family went home satisfied

Rain-MakIng in India.

According to the Chimes OF India, "
Mr.. Wolfe-Murray's rain-making ex-
periments in Madras have been at
tended by a success so remarkable as
to suggest the occurrence OF a SINGULAR
ly fortuitous coincidence rather than
triumph OF science over nature. The
centre chosen for the experiment was
Cuddapah, where the rainfall is al
ways scanty, and, neither kites nor
balloons being available, the dyna-
mite was placed on a ridge offat rocks
2,40O feet above the sea level and a
couple of hundred feet above the
plain. A hundred pounds of dyna-
mite were used in all, 10
packages of lob each being ranged on
the rocks at intervals of 60 yards,
and fired by time fuses atintervals of
one minute. Nine of the packages
were successfully exploded, and six
hours later, while the sun was still
shining, there came magnificent
shower of rain, such, it is stated, as
has hardly been experienced in the
district during the present year. The
shower lasted half an hour, and was
confined to the region affected by the
explosions, which Mr. Wolfe-Murray
deems a conclusive proof OF the sue
cess OF the experiment. AS the total
cost was only 200 RUPEES, it will not
be difficult matter to verify these
conditions in other districts.

Electricity in CoalminIng.

An interesting paper on electricity
in relation to mining, by Mr.. Ernest
Scott, has been read before the Instr
tuition OF Engineers and Shipbuilders
in Scotland, and is now printed in the
Institutions transactions. About
fifty mines in the United Kingdom
are already supplied with electricity,
and the new methods are not unlike
ly, he thinks, to effect "a small revol-
ution in the mining industry" Mines
which have been commercially un-
workable owing to their depth, or the
great distance of the working face from
the pit head, may now be turned into
profitable undertakings. Mr.. Scott
notes that electric power can claim
the following advantages over steam,
hydraulic, compressed air: l, greater
efficiency, and therefore reduced first
cost and expenses in working, than
other mediums of power transmission
over considerable distances SAY
above half a mile; 2, the greater ease
with which the comparatively small
copper conductors can be manipulate
ed and kept in order as compared with
piping, especially where there are fall
ing roofs or shifting floors; 3, the facil-
ity with which machines which require
to be moved occasionally-e. G., coal
cutters, pumps, &c.-can beadvanced

ceeds, or taken about on DOGGY carriag-

MAKING THE CABINET.

THE HISTORY OF CABINETS.
WIN. c. Whitney Cam Have Anything He
Wsnts-Russell, Flower. Gray and
Campbell strong Probabilities.

Il was said of Abraham Lincoln that
with two exceptions he had his cabinet in
mind within week after his election. but
if this be true, it is unusual. Mr.. Cieve-
land is not likely to have reached de-
cision upon the choice of his official family
before the middle of February, and a good
deal of his time between the formal notifi-
cation by congress of that result will be
occupied in the consideration of various
names. Cabinet making has been of the
most distracting. exciting and yet inter-
esting of all responsibilities which fall
upon the president-elect, and next to the
result of the national election public inter-
est is generally centered in the person
atty of those who will become the presi-
dents advisers.
The cabinet is frequently spoken of as a
body constituting the official advisers of
the president, but this is a title of courtesy
rather than of accuracy. 1t is so inferred
from the constitution that the president
will have such body around him, but as
matter of fact the majority of the cabi-
net as it is today was created by con-
gressional legislation.
Probably the youngest cabinet officer
was Alexander Hamilton, and perhaps SO
far as results are concerned he may be
