THE COMPASSIONATE MODEL.
Working of This system Attracting
Good Deal of Attention.

The exhibition on Main street of the
working model illustrating the Taylor
system of hydraulic air compression, is
attracting considerable attention.
Messrs. j. j. Montague, 5. W. Trayers
and Thomas Atkinson, Of this city, and
John A. Inslee of st. Louis, and their as
sociates are applying TO the Council for
the right to use the surplus water at the
new pump-house and to lay pipes under
the streets through which 10 distribute
the compressed air obtained by this Sys-
TEN for power refrigeration. etc. The
system seems 10 be simplicity itself and
is fully explained in so far as it needs
any explanation by Mr.. r. W. Suther-
land. OF Montreal, who has the model In
charge. and Mr.. John A. Insiee, of st.
Louis. who is interested in the establish
ment Of the proposed plant here.
The model is about fourteen feet in
height. and consisting. as IL does, of n
section, the front of which is plate glass,
the air bubbles can be plainly seen in
their descent through the water into the
reservoir at the bottom. where the air IS
confined and its compression continued,
BY the power obtained from this model a
small drill is operated, whistles are
blown. etc. Perhaps the feature which
has attracted most attention is the eN-
trc e. dryness of the air compressed by
this process, containing. as it does, not
quite one-ffth the moisture In the ordi-
nary atmosphere.
The application for a franchise will be
considered at Joint meeting Of the Coun-
ell Committees on Water and Streets i'm
the City Hall next Monday night.

THE SEWING EXHIBITION
an Attractive Display OF Needle
work at Masonic Templc.

The exhibition Of sewing. under the
patronage of the Ladies' Guild of Holy
Trinity church. opened at the Masonic
Temple last evening, and though the IN
clement weather initiated somewhat
against the attendance. quite a large
crowd was present when Mr.. Roswell
Page assembled TO the platform and pre-
scented Mr. James L. Hughes, the Inspec-
tor of Public Schools Of Toronto. Can,
who made the address Of the evening.
II had been expected that Governor
TYLER would be present to make an ad-
dress but he was detained in Washing
ton and did not return TO the city in
time 10 keep this engagement. Mr.. Page,
i'm a few remarks. presented Mr.. Hughes,
and for an hour or more that gentleman
discoursed most entertainingly on the ne
cessities for manual training in the pub
lic schools.
The exhibits which are loaned by the
New York Association of Sewing Schools,
including exhibits from the government
schools of Belgium. France, Japan. Swe-
den. Switzerland. the Board Schools OF
London. and from schools in the United
States belonging to the New York As
ISOLATION. were attractively arranged in
the large hall and proved interesting
subjects for inspection by the many
ladies present. All of the work. though
some of IL was magnificent in design,
and techniaue. was done by children. and
this fact added interest TO it. The eX-
hibition is in no sense a money-making
enterprise but given purely to create in
terest i'm the old fashionable art of sew
ing. and to show the possibilities Of the
needle in skilful fingers.
This afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. an adj
dress will be made by Mrs. Woolman,
Professor Of Domestic Art in the Teach
ers' College Of New York city.

he has not Joined that domination
(Which is but q small one In this coun-
try), but apparently regards 1t a. quite
the right thing to continue to hold
the position of a Presbyterian minis
ter. He is convinced that the Lords
Supper Is properly family observance,
and may be administered by the head
Of q household, requiring no ordination
Az corollary to this, he holds that any
lay member of the church may be ap-
pointed TO administer the communion
to the congregation. Finally. he has
taught that entire sanctiflcation IL pos
sible to the believer In this life. To
the ordinary person who knows moth
ing of the Presbyterian confession, It
does not seem In the least surprising
that the accused, acknowledging these
teachings, was found guilty and CEN
sured for heresy. The Interior. how
ever. says: What a spectacle is thfs!'
Namely, the spectacle Of man con-
demned as contravening the teaching
of the formularies Of his denomina-
tion, who confesses that he has done
so. What Is there surprising in that
spectacle? 1t appears that Mr.. Hous-
ton thought he could prove his tenets
out of the Bible. and The Interior seems
to consider that If any one thinks he
can do that he ought to be let alone,
no matter though he may be going con-
trary to the doctrines he has bound
himself to teach. Moreover, The In
terror hints its own conviction that Hr.
Houston is right on the merits oe the
question, and that the confession is
wrong. Here We have again those re-
markable "ethics of subscription" OF
which we have heard SO much Of late
years. But how can anything be clear
er than that when a man has ceased
to believe and teach the doctrines OF
the denomination to which he belongs,
he ought to retire from Its ministry
II we understand our contemporary
not only Is he under no such obligation,
but it is persecution to force him out.

Do Animals Droam1

DR.. Maenish, In his philosophy Of
Sleep" says: Man is not the only anil
mails subject to dreaming. We have
every reason to believe that many Of
the lower animals do the same. Horses
neigh and rear, and dogs growl and
bark in their sleep. Probably at such
times the remembrance Of the chase or
the combat was passing through the
minds OF these creatures. and they al
so not infrequently manifest signs Of
fear. Joy, playfulness and almost every
other passion. Illuminating animals.
such as the sheep and COW, dream less,
but even they are sometimes so affect
ed, especially at the period Of rearing
their young. The parrot II said to
dream, and should suppose some 9TH
or birds do the same. Indeed the more
intellectual the animal is the more like
ly In 1t to be subject to dreaming.
Whether fishes dream 1t II impossible
to conjecture, nor can 1t be guessed,
with anything like certainty. at what
point In the scale of animal intellect
the capability of dreaming ceases, al
though 1t is very certain there is such
a point. 1 apprehend that dreaming is
