Mestminster Cathedral.

The official announcement is made
that work on the proposed great Cath
Ollie cathedral not far from Westmin-
ster Abbey, will be pushed on with as
much speed as possible. Bentley, the
architect selected, has just returned
from a long and special study of Eu-
ropean cathedrals ard his model is
Constantine's Church of st. Peter at
Rome. 1t will cost G250,OOO and the
cardinal has already for the purpose
100000 and the site.
The site of thia great edifice was
purchased by Cardinal Manning and
it was the dream of his life to see the
great church erected. Contributions
for the church will be received from
all parts of C~hristendom. AS an in
ducement to liberality every contribu-
tor to the extent of $1,000 will be hon
ored by having his or her name in
scribed on the cathedral as a found
er. The building will be unlike any
thing in London. With q length of
$50 feet a width of go feet and q
height of 100 feet, it will seat 5000
persons. The foundation stone has
just been laid.

Don't live a single hour of your life
without doing exactly what is to be
done in it, and going straight through
It from beginning to end. Work, play,
study, whatever it is take hold at once
and finish it up s%quarely; then to the
next thing without letting any mo-
ments drop between. 1t is wonderful
to see how many hours these prompt
people contrive to make of a day; it
is "a if they picked up the moments
that the dawdlers lost. And if ever
you find yourself where you have SC
many things pressing upon you that
you hardly know how to begin, let me
tell you a secret: Take hold of the
very first one that to hand, and
you will find the rest all fall into file.
and follow after, like a company OF
well-drilled soldiers; and though work
may be hard to meet when it charges
in a squad, it is easily vanquished if
you can bring it into line.
You may have often seen the anec-
dote of the MAI who was asked how

Wood Clothing.

Some of the Japanese soldiers wear
paper clothing, which proves very
durable, so it is hardly surprising
that a French chemist should have
hit upon a method of producing arti-
fetal cotton from wood cellulose.
The cellulose is heated under pressure
in a closed vessel with zinc chloride,
h~ydrochloric and acetic acids, a little
rice oil, caseine and gelatine. A
pasty mass Is thus obtained which Is
placed in a cylinder and expelled
through the base of the latter by
means of a heavily loaded piston.
The threads, as they issue, are led
first between two hot rolls, then into
a weak solution of washing soda, and
finally between another pair of drying
rolls. The material weaves and takes
dyes well. The strength of the
cotton" Is said to be much increased
by parchmentising. AS this cloth is
waterproof and extremely light, it has
been suggested that it would form an
excellent material for the clothing
of the masses in India. In connec-
ton with the subject of wood pulp,
a contemporary points out that the
imports of that substance into Man
chester, England, during the month of
March were the largest on record,
and show an increase compared with
the previous month, of more than 90
coo bales.

trouble to sing a. requiem over them
in verse or prose, but others, in spite
of all the opposition, got to and re-
manned at the front, and succeeded in
sending out accurate news to their
papers.
1t was one of these successful news
paper men, and a Japanese at that,
who originated the idea of using a
balloon to help him get to the front,
as well as to keep him safely out Of
the reach of both contestants. He
procured a balloon, several, in fact,
and had a peculiar metal frame work
constructed, which held him firmly in
place under the balloon, and left his
arms free, so thai he could use them
to write, or to work a huge camera
that was also attached and supported
by the same iron frame. BY means
of straps over his shoulders and about
his body he could keep himself mod
erately firm In his position, and his
camera reasonably stationary, except,
of course, for the movements of the
balloon itself, which he could not regu-
late.
Several times this correspondent was
tent up in his balloon, and held by an
assistant with the help of a long rope
far above houses and even hills, so
hat he could take photographs on his
huge lens of the general view of a
battle, while he himself vas either too
far away or too ~unimportant at the
moment to the combatants to tempt
them to fire upon him. In this way
he succeeded in securing some aston
ishing views.-Harper's Round Table.
