TORONTO, Dec. 2.-Edward Blako's announce
ment Of his intention to return to Canadian pol
itics will be taken as an intimation that though
he continues to collect subscriptions for homo
rule, the movement. in his opinion, is dead.
This is what Goodwin Smith says; and, he adds,
1t was tho land that The Irish people wanted,
and having now got tho land the mass Of them
probably care little for political change. If In
the coming session the Government succeeds in
redressing whatever municipal grievances Ire.

better facilities for private bill legislation, the

A Rnar New York Parish.

The Year Book Of st. Georges Church for
1897 is a pamphlet of more than 200 pages.
1t is interesting generally as exhibiting the
multifarious activities of q large Episcopal
parish in New York at the present time.
In particular, also, It has a peculiar interest
In showing the close and curious connection
between that church and the late Citizens
Union movement. Out Of its eleven war
dens and vestrymen six were prominent
officers and managers In that enterprise.
Mr.. SETH Low himself is one OF the vestry-
men; Mr.. r. FULTON CUTTING, another,
was Chairman of the concern; Mr.. WAGER
SwAYNE, still another, was one OF the big
Citizens Union bosses. DIR. R~AINsFoRD,
the rector of st. Georges Church, was a hot
advocate of its mischievous scheme.
Apparently this parish was ambitious to
extend the range Of its already wide and
numerous functions to include indirectly
the moral and political guardianship Of the
whole city and It's government. In its
peculiar and extensive field IL shows great
enterprise, undoubtedly. Attention is fire.

BURNING BRICK WITH OIL FUEL
Mach Cheaper Than Wood or Coal ana Easier
to Handle.

Experiments have been made recently in burn
ing brick with fuel oil instead OF wood or coal.
and the results are said to be economical. Fuel
oil Is a product left from the process of refining
petroleum. and 1t has already found q use for
steam making and In furnaces. The experiment
OF using 1t for brick burning was tried in a New
York State brick yard. The oil was fed to
burners under the arches OF brick from a pipe
which ran all around the brick stack. and 1t was
fed into the burners by the use OF a forced
draught, which also enabled the operators to
drive the heat wherever 1t was needed. Tho
supply OF oil was regulated by valves.
It is asserted that the cost OF burning the
stack Of bricks was greatly reduced by the use
of the new fuel. The same stack would have
required the attendance OF twelve mon dur.
ing, every twenty-four hours while with the
fuel oil only two mon were needed. the kiln was
completely burned in six days instead Of tho
SO cents for each Thousand bricks. where, at $5
a cord for wood, that fuel would have cost SO
control which the men had over the flame OF
stack more evenly than it is usually done.

AT the hquhriums
One of the gallery tanks on the salt water side
of the Aquarium has been stocked lately with
oysters and hard shell clans. showing tho clans
as they appear In nature. The hard clam does
not bury itself completely in the mud or sand
which 1t may inhabit. but only to tho depth of
half or three-quarters of Its shells. 1t opens its
shells to feed. living upon minute forms of ami
NAL life floating in the water, and sinks or
raises itself in the mud with tho aid of Its foot,
the wedge-shaped part OF the body that is near
est the opening OF the shell. With its foot tho
clam pushes away tho sand, and SO let's Itself
sink deeper and deeper; and with its foot It can
roll the sand in under itself and thus raise itself.

How the Club and tho Trout Seize Upon the
Wandering Worm.
Worms are occasionally fed at the Aquarium
10 such fishes as eat them in nature, including
suckers and clubs and sunfsh and trout, and
some others. The worms are put into the tanks
at the top. to sink gradually through the water
until they are nipped up by some fish.
The manner in which the fishes take them
varies with the habits of tho fishes. Tho worm
sinks slowly through the water. and with
but few twistings or turnings OF its body. A
little club will nip a worm much slenderer,
