Heresy and Orthodoxy.

Heresy in olden times led to prison and
the stake. In the present age it leads tC
fame ard profcssorship. One Of the most
interesting herctics Of the present day is
the Rev. Professor William Knight, OF
whom il may be truly said that he stepped
from heterodoxy iEto high places. A quar-.
ter OF a century ago he was the minister OF
q very humble tin church in an obscure
street in Dundee, and had the good fortune
to send an article, which was accepted, To
The Contemporary Review on prayer. The
leaders of the Free Kirk in the town men
toned, whose views were limited 10 mar
malade and jute, found, fortunately foi
Mr.. Knight, that the views contained in
the paper were "unsound, and the au.
dacious writer was summoned before the
local presbytery TO answer his misdeeds
For year or SO the Knight heresy case
was the talk of the theological world, and
the battle which ragged around the humble
minister was bitter and fierce But it made
his reputation-Sperhaps his fortune. His
congregation increased tremendously.
From the tin church in an obscure locality
he and they migrated to a magnificent
cathedral, built in the best thoroughfarc.
Shortly afterward he joined the Estab
lishcd church, and very soon was appoint.
ed professor of moral philosophy in the
University of St. Andrew. Since then
his career has been one uninterrupted sue
cess, but he has not further dabbled in
heresy. The irony of fate is shown in The
fact that while Professor Knight is now
well known everywhere, the reverend
orthodox gentleman who was his principal
prosecutor fell into the obscurity of some
secretaryship connected with the Free
Kirk.--London Telegraph.

THE OLDEST ENGLISH PAPER.


ilsheo r1fst In 1900.
The Oldest English newspaper Is, though
few people know It, the London Gazette,
which was, on It's first publication on Nov.
IA, 1865, known as tho Oxford Gazette
from the ia 1t of the parliament sitting at
Oxford. This name was changed on Feb
8, 1866, to the present one But though
the London Gazette contains some items
OF much interest to certain people, such
as those who have received "honors" at
the hands of royalty or those whose bank
ruptcies are announced, it is not news
paper In the usual sense Of the term-that
Is, as being read generally by the public
The honor of being the oldest newspaper
OF this class In the British Isles, and hence
probably I'm the world, may be unhesita-
tingly awarded to Berrow's Worcester
Journal, which made its appearance i'm
1890, ten years before the beginning of the
eighteenth century. 1t has always had
wide circulation among the higher classes
OF its district and Is today as vigorous AZ
ever. But when it first came out it was
not under its present name, and this fact
or Is of Importance IN considering it's
claim to the premier houurs Of the journal
istic world.
Perhaps we ought TO award the palm of
being the doyen of English journals TO the
Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mercury
still published weekly at Stamford. This
paper has now, as ever, truly great cir
culation and AN enormous influence i'm the
eastern midland district. It's title is exact.
ly the same today as it was on the day 10
was first published, ia years ago. Hencs
this important factor should almost assign
to it the hrst place among exJant news
papers
There is In the Leicester museum a copy
of the l7lS issue, consisting of four pages
denny quurto. its style that of the old news
letter In July, 1855. its circulation had
become $4,000 "a week, the highest outside
of London. It's price was then twopence, but
Is now penny, with the circulation pt
10000 weekly. Thomas Cooper, the ia.
nous Chartist poet, was OH the staff i'm his
younger days. The political complexion or

x RAYS ON The HEART.
A Physis:>u's New Mode Of Studying That


whil- viewing the pcctorai rc-io,
through tho microscope and observing /, 4,
shadow Of the heart, a method of ncarl,
accurate estimation of It's size, normal O.
abnormal, occurred to me. Putting tn,
method Instantly in practice, / marked on
what should be the normal contour of tn,
heart Oh the anterior surface of the ches
wall. Then bent a COPPER wire In tn,
shape OF the tracing and affixed 1t on thii
with adhesive PLASTER. Ha, ing the patient
facing the arookes tube, Looked through
the 4 horoscope from behind between the
spine and the scnpula, when rL.inly saw
the wire outlining the shadow of 10 heart
1t may be wondered how the heart can bt
seen " hen tie soft parts are said TO b.
pcne;r.,Dle by the rays, but the different
degrees of relctraLility, according To the
density OF the Lissies, enable one to Go so.
Yet 1t may be necessary to proceed in a
certain way, as at Ligh ro1.cr tie X
rays seem To dissolve everything, even
bone and iron.
Using as u generator either a powerful
static machine or IN induction coil IL

scapc, you now very gradually reduce TIE
brightness of the X r.ys-in the C.. 10 Of a
static machine by reducing the s. cod
and you will observe the shadow of ths
heart extending within or outside your
wire. Sometimes you can see u thinner
and larger shadow suLtrlmposed ON
smaller and thicker one, the former repre
senting the heart in diastole and the latter
the same in systole. AS generally the lelt
line OF the heart is all we look for, it may
be sufficient for the busy practitioner tc

from the third to the sixth rib, at prope.
distance from the left stcrnal border.
Naturally you may fail to sec the heart
unless you locate your microscope opposite
the organ, which roughly estimate by
marking off spot to the left of the spine
opposite the fourth intercostal space IL

scope. Obvious optical reasons make II
preferable to look from behind rather than
from the anterior aspect think the read
ers easily will understand my method and
