large number of other church dignitaries
The congress received the deputations of
Wesleyans and other Non-Conformists.
The Bishop Of Worcester, in his inaugural
address, declared that this was a working
mems congress. For the first time work.
ingmen would be members Of the commit
tee selected by the congress. The subjects
to be discussed would deal with the social
life Of the nation, the duties of employers
to the employed, the spiritual needs OF the
poor, provision for old age and the relation
of the church and press.
Archdeacen Farrar opened a discussion
on the work Of the church among artisans.
The syllabus contains the following social
and labor questions: The duties Of employ
ers toward the employed: the duties Of the
employed toward employers, and the duty
of the clergy toward both employers and

Optical Phenomenon.

A correspondent Of Nature at Christiana
gives an account of very curious phe-
nomenon witnessed from the top of Gausta
mountain (height 5000 Norwegian feeO in
Telemarken. south of Norway. I'VE were
a party Che says) Of two ladies and three
gentlemen on the summit of this mountai
on August 4. On the morning of that day
the sky was passably clear; at noon there
was thick fog. Between 6 and o'clock
in the afternoon (the wind being south to
southwesp the fog suddenly cleared in
places so that we could see the surrounding
country in sunshine through the riffs. We
mounted to the Flagstaff in order to obtain
a better view of the scenery, and there We
at once observed in the fog in an easterly
direction, a double rainbow forming a COM
plete circle and seeming to be twenty to
thirty feet distant from us. In the middle
of this we all appeared as black, erect and
nearly life-siZe silhOuetteS. The outlines of
the silhouetteS were so sharp that we could
easily recognize the figures of each other,
and every movement was reproduced. The
head Of each individual appeared to occupy
the center of the circle, and each Of us
seemed to be standing on the upper per-
inner radius Of the circle to be six feet. This
phenomenon lasted several minutes, disap-
pearing with the fog bank. to be reproduced
In new fog three or four times, but each
time more distinctly. The sunshine during
the phenomenon seemed to US to be un-
usually bright. Mr.. Kielland-Torkiidsen.
president of the Telemarken Tourist Club
writes TO me that the builder of the hut on
the top of Gausta has twice seen spectacles
the outline of the mountain that was re-
fected on the fog. He had never seen his
own image, and he does not mention circu-
lar or other rainbows.'

There are plenty Of men who WILL by
the impression carried through a pair of
calipers and the fingers ends, determine,
within a very small percentage, the amount
of pressure which shall be required to be
exerted by a hydraulic press in order to
force onto its shaft an engine crank or a
locomotive driving wheel; measurement
in which a thousandth part of an inch
variation in diameter causes much more
variation in pressure than Is permissible.
Indeed IN some kinds Of work done in the
machine shops, thousandth part Of an
inch has now become the most commonly
employed unit of measurement; a unit
which is divided and subdivided into at
least ten parts in order to express the de-
gree of refinement arrived at. This. of

The New York Worlds special from
Buenos Ayres says:
Admiral Mello has declared the ports of
Rio Janeiro and Santos blockaded.
1t is said that his object is to force the
surrender Of Rio by crippling the trade of
the city.
AS a consequence Of the blockade trade is
paralyzed. The banks are closed and busi-

Electricity on the Pyramfds.

In his autobiography the late Sir w. Sic
mems relates the following anecdote. An
Arab called his attention to the fact that
when at the top Of the pyramid of Cheops,
when he raised his hand with fingers out
spread. an acute singing note was heard the
sound ceasing as soon u he let his hand
fall. Il found his assertion" he writes,
Ito be true. AS soon as l raised one of my

What Is the Outcome of the Re-
cent Meeting ?
To the Editor of the Globe.
Please permit me to ask through your
columns what, if anything. has been
done by the committee appointed by
the chairman of the "Home Rule'' meet
ing held in Market hall two or three
months ago?
Hon. Mr.. Sweetman told plainly at
that meeting how badly financial aid
was needed by the Irish Parliamentary
party. Some of st. Paul's eloquent
sons assured him that st. Paul would do
its duty in the matter: and as "he gives
double who gives at first" it was in
ferred that that duty would be promptly
performed. Now, as with the present
status OF the home rule cause ali seem
to be fairly satisfied, it seems to me
there can be no valid excuse for the in
activity of these gentlemen any longer.
If they will not act, let them say so.
ANYHOW, let steps be taken to receive
subscriptions, that l have reason to
know have been held ready for call
the past two months. | do not know at
present who compose the COMMITTEES re-
ferred to. 1t has, indeed, been said of
some of them that local politics did not
at present offer that incentive to activity
that they are ready to show on Irish
questions at other times. But surely
there are some true and unselfish men
thereon who might be expected to start
the matter, and, not only help such a
worthy cause, out redeem the promise
made III the name of our fair city.
Let Judge Kelly, Hons. ?. FL. Kelly,
DIV. Lawler,T T. Reardon, 7. T.D.O'Brien.
and those who rendered such valued
services in days gone by be up and fill
the breach. FAUGH A BALLAGH.

personal life for man in the future.
nobler motive than it would otherwise
be? Has not love profound influence
in determining our hope for immortal
itv? And has not that determination
purified our desires, purified the springs
of our action, ,chaStened the natural pas
sionS of our life and made it all of far
superior value? Yes; the instructive
love of the mother on the Southwestern
border, tying the body Of her child in
the skin of the panther, and singing of
a happy isSue-a home in the land
where no storm shall sweep-teStlfies
the instructive love of humanity. That
same instructive language is common
to the palace and the cabin. Love never
fails. 1t tells OF a land where animosl-
ties cease, where a happy race shall rise
to nobler things.
But is this the only view of Christ
that we are to believe will be presented?
From what l have said in these SER
mons already you will see that
Believe One Point of View
is presented to the people of one time
by some man who knows his time and
all its needs. BY recurring to a figure l
used last Sunday the man on the
mountain side catching some views eX-
cluded from others-you will see that L
have no hope of any theory compre-
hensive enough to present all sides of
truth. And taking these facts in con-
nection, should say that while this
belief is most important, the organiza-
ton of society. the reign of peace and
personal safety, the amelioration of
present conditions. the social hopes and
aspirations-all these make it important
that we think of the work we are called
to do here, and so cannot but feel that
the church of today is called to practi-
cal philanthropic work and sentiment,
to the culture of the mind, to honorable
dealings with men in all relations, to
nobility of action, as if this present was
all the world knew.
But we cannot and ought not to get
St. Paul daily globe., 1893-02-27

away from the truth that there is no
more stability to the things we call solid
than there is to the smooth ocean.
Fortunes go up and down like the flag
in the smoke of battle. The wreck of
the Reading railroad is only an index of
what we find everywhere. But the one
certain thing we do know is that we
shall quit all this scuffie aud leave all
that we haye-be that little or much.
| was impressed when Mr. ingalls, said,
sententiously: II do not know what
Mr.. Gould left have heard he left all
he had" That is what we will do.
And, in view of the fact that we are
sure to go-that we are like men hold
ing a cham, one link running through
the hand every moment of time-in
view of this do think it of Importance
that we have for our inspiration the
hope that st. Paul felt the hope Of a
living Christ, and personal immortality.
and that, like him, we shall not be dis
obedient to the heavenly vision.
