Stomach trouble is the common
name applied to a arrangement of
the system which is keenly felt but
vaguely understood. 1t may mean
inability to retain food or to digest
it. 1t may mean nausea, pain after
eating, fullness, inordinate craving
for food, or entire lack of appetite.
Whatever it means, there's trouble,
and it's with the stomach. II you

CHURCH PRoPosITIONTO CUR
TAIL THE POWER OF THE BlsH-
oPs-GoING OUT OF CONFER
ENcE FOR MINISTER'S.
NEW YORK Sept, 9s-There was a
lively discussion at the last meeting of
the metropolitan ministers OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, in The
Methodist Book Concern building, over
the proposition 10 curtatt the power OF
the bishops.
The subject discussed is one of the
NEST Vital affecting the affairs OF the
church, and 1t also embraced the meth
DDS now resorted to by leading clergy
men Of the church In getting transfers
from one conference to another With Il
view Of lettering themselves,
The evils of the present system as
sumed an aggravated form at the an
nual conference of the New York East
conference last year, and this was real
ly the cause of the present movement to
curtaIl the power of the bishops. Last
year three OF the leading churches OF
that conference which were apparently
unable 10 satisfy themselves with the
timber near at hand, the terms of their
pastors having expired, extended calls
to men IN other parts Of the country
and assumed that they would gets the
men of their choice, But the united
body of ministers of the conference
made vigorous protest on the ground
that the conference was already full.
The protest was so strong that Bish-
OPP Walden concluded not to let the
three churches referred to have the
ministers 20 whom they had extended
calls.
The feeling that had been stirred up
In the New York East conference,
which comprises some Of the leading
churches In the metropolitan district
had the effect, however of bringing the
subject before the entire body of minis
ters and Il was for the purpose Of de-
terminlng whether 1t was not possible
to correct the evils that the meeting
was held.
The question was opened by paper
read by the Rev. G, l., Thompson, OF
Shelton Connecticut, entitled, "ttow TO
regulate ministerial transfers" DR..
Thompson did not take any radical
stand, but he was inclined to the opin-
ion that some change was advisable and
he suggested as remedy that the pre-
siding elders be given coordinate pow
err with the bishop In a conference to
settle the question as to whether GER
tain minister from the outside should
be allowed to fill pulpit when a cas
was extended to him by any church,
Furthermore, DR.. Thompson said that
the crnwding Of conferences by this
admission OF outsiders could be obvl-
ated by providing that no new minis
ter shah be admitted unless an old min
lister leaves and that no more shall be
admitted than leave the conference in
any one year.
1t Is considered likely that the meet
ing will result in the drawing up OF res
oluuons which will be presented at the
general conference which convenrs next
year, recommending certain regulations
OF the character indicated by the pa
per Of Or. Thompson.

Scientific Miscellany.


 A very unusal subject of analy- sis-a lady's silk dress-was brought recently to the labratory of Dr. T. l.. Phipson, an English chemist. In the course of his work it developed that much of the material was not silk at all !, and that much of the foreign sub stance was oxide of tin, making the fabric richer in metal than much poor tin orc from Cornwall, and demonstrating the fact that the silk dresses seen daily on Lon don's fashionable thoroughfares represent, taken together, a Corn ish mine of very fair quality. It proved moreover, that the mate- rial-instoad of lasting lifetime, as pure silk was once supposed to do-would not continue present. able three months if worn every day. This is the analysis: Water. II 43; ash (mostly oxide and silica) IA 30; real silk, 2S II; organic matters. etc, not silk, 46 l3 A serious assertion, the analyst adds, is that the "weighted" silks Of France, Germany and Switzerland, which grow shabby in a few weeks, are even preferred by the public, as fashions change SO ap- idly that better material is uselessl
 A colossal work now being car ried out by a committee of the British association for the advance ment of science is the preparation of an "Index AtimaIium," de- signed to list all the names ever given to animals. Zoologists csti- mate that 3S6,000 species of recent animals have been described, and the fossils probably bring the num- Der up to 50,000, while some species have had as many as twenty different names. Assum- ing an average of three names, the complete Index will contain not less than 1850, 900 references. Mr. c. Davis Sherborn has been four years seeking these names in the literature of all lands and ages, verifying species and dates, and cataloguing by slips in the alpha
 betlcal order of the genera. He has completed 140,000 references in duplicate, all being accessible to students visiting the British Museum, as the work progresses.
