A Mexican preacher says that 9 man
out there is married to his sister, having
obtained 9 diepansation from tho Pope
| for the sum of $4,000. There is some
slight error in this statement. He means
that his (the minister's sister is married
to q man who abandoned the Church for
the sake of aninheritance of $50 GOO, and
who has fallen under the excommunica
ton of Rome. 1t is 80 easy to mix up
facts, especially when it suits purpose.

The waters of Cape Horn have never
been unvisited by storms for more than
q week or two at a stretch, within the
memory of man. Standing on the out
post of the world, Cape Horn is the meet
ing place Of ocean currents of very diff
ferent temperatures, from the icy cold
waters of the Antartic drift to the warmth
of the Brazilian and Peruvian return cur
rents. The prevailing winds are from
the northwest and west, and these, COM
ing from the warm regions of the Pacific,
condense into foga. which the sailors call
"Cape H. IN blankets" and which are the
sure forerunners of storms. The OK
tremely low level to which the glaciers
of Terra del Fuego descend. the perpetu-
al congelation of the subsoil, the differ
emit temperatures, are all direct or indi-
rect causes combining to make this the
most constantly stormy region of the
world. ..m.

For several years electric omnibusee
have been in service on London streets,
but after much experimenting they haye
just reached type of perfection. One
Of the early runs was over dis ance of
nearly four miles, taking thirty-fve
minutes, and the experience which was
gained III itg working demonstrated that
the knowledge necessary for driving it
could be picked up by on ordinary cab
or omnibus driver IN a few days, no
greater, skill being required to handle
such vehicle with precision and safety
than was necessary in the case OF horse
bus or cab. Each car could easily make
six fourteen mile trips per day, or tota1
of 558 miles per week per car, giving a
total of 14,70o miles of service per week,
The new car is full.sized twenty six
passenger omnibus. 1t has two batteries
OF accumulators, each weighing about
seventeen hundredweight. These 20
under the seats.
