New York, Nov. lS-It was very posi-

known New York clergyman that Arch
bishop Corriran had been summoned to
Rome by Pope Leo. His grace's depart
ure was declared to be a matter Of a few
weeks only, according TO the statements
made, he has already arranged the affairs
Of his archdiocese with a view to several
months absence. The difficulty of con-
tirming these rumors or Of giving them
the lie results from the archbishop's own
unwillingness to speak for publication
and the way he has Of deferring all public
announcement of his comings and goings
until the last possible moment.

A Monster Sunfish.

A fishing party of seven under the
charge of Alex Mathison, were recently
some five miles off the coast of Redondo,
in the sloop Helen, after barracuda. One
of their number saw floating in the water
what at first was taken for young
whale. On approaching the object it
was discovered to be a large sunfish
lying on its side, evidently enjoying the
sunlight. On the nearer approach Of
the party the monster dived beneath the
boat. coming TO the surface IA few yards
on the other side. The boat was imme.
diately turned and bore down on il once
more. In its effort to escape the fish was
struck by the bow of the boat and thrown
upon its side.
The.opportunity was seized to throw a
jew fish-hook into its mouth. Gaining
its equilibrium the gigantic fish sped
away, the reel humming with the $50
fathoms of line carried with it. Then
came battle royal between the great
ocean rover and the fisherman. After
long manGuvring rope was made fast
under its fins and attached to the mast.
The boat was nearly dragged beneath
the waves by the violent efforts the
enormous fish made to escape. Finally,
under the pressure of sail and by the ex-
haustion of its own efforts it was towed
to Redondo and there hauled upon the
beach.
The fish is a magnificent specimen of
its kind, measuring eleven feet from the
dorsal to the anal fin, eight feet two
inches in length, and weighed in the
neighborhood of 1900 pounds. When
the fact is considered that this is the
largest specimen of it's species ever cap
tured, it will be of more than passing
interest to the general public and of
value to the scientific world. The larg-
est heretofore recorded is numbered in
the collection of the British museum,
which measures seven feet six inches in
length, captured off the coast of Port
land (Dorsetshire) in the year 1S40.-

Firemen on Bicycles.

After the soldiers, the fremen are
making use of the all-conquering cycle.
This, at least, is what is happening in
Belgium. The Burgomaster of Brussels
has ordered the formation of a cyclist
corps in connection with the local fire
brigade, for the purpose of carrying the
first aid to the persons in danger through
an outbreak. The men are already being
drilled every day, the machines selected
being tricycles, upon which they carry u
coil of rope, hatchet and other articles
useful in cases Of emergency. II is
thought that by this means help will not
only be earlier forthcoming, but that the

The Faith of Islam.

The faith of Islam is based, primarily,
upon the Koran, which is believed to
have been delivered to the Prophet at
sundry times by the angel Gabriel, and
upon the traditions reporting the life
and works of the Prophet, and, second
arily, upon the opinions of certain dis
tinguished theologians of the second
century of the Hegira, especially, for
the Sunnis, of the four Imams. Hanife,
Shaft, Malik, and Hannbel. The Shiites,
or followers of Aali, reject these last,
with many of the received traditio ms
and hold opinions which the great body

About Natural Gas.

What has become OF the natural gas
project? Has it gone the way OF other
booms for Salt Lake? Has it blowed out
like the many blasts of gas without light
which have gone off in wind and rhetoric?
1t seems from the practical experiments
made and the results achieved, that the
gas existed in vast quantity, and ali that
was needed was piping it into the city to
make it financially profitable to the pro-
moters, and an unspeakable boon to the
citizens. Now we scarcely hear it men,
toned.
Ii it is a fact that the gas is here and
can be utilized as at first declared, some
steps ought to be taken to make it some
thing more than topic to talk about. 1t
would be of far more benefit to this city
than coal road. 1t would solve the coal
problem and melt down the coal combine.
1t would make manufactures feasible and
start many industries that are now only
in the minds eye. Natural gas supplied
to the stores and dwellings and foundries
and factories of Salt Lake, would mean

ing and business population.
Natural gas would furnish cheap light,
cheap fuel. cheap force and consequently
cheap goods, manufactured on the spot.
1t would settle the smoke nuisance. 1t
would stop a great deal of family un-
pleasautness in the winter. There would

ing; no ashes to remove, no smut to soil
hands or clothes. Just turn on the tap
and strike match and there are both
light and fire.
Natural gas would revolutionize our
affairs, in so far that it would awake the
city to life and activity and make profit
able industries possible that would fur
nish employment for hosts OF people, and
set all kinds of business astir. The
gas question wants a revival. If
there are to be new explorations and ex-
periments, let them be tried west of this
city instead of miles to the north. If the
wells are sunk deep enough the gas will
be found, and the piping then viii not be

out and be put in order for active service
in less time than that.
While this may be true, the question
arises as to whether it is desirable that at
SO pacific an enterprise as the Worlds
fair. there is any necessity or it is good
policy to make military display. There
is nobody from abroad that would be
overaved BY any such massing of SOL
diers. It is supposed that the people of
the United States can govern themselves
without any need of large standing
army. And no doubt European people
would be much more favorabiy impressed
by the spectacle OF a self-governing ma
ton without the presence of the military,
than IL ever so many uniformed men were
massed upon or near to the fair grounds.
