BISHOPS AND THE LORDS.

London Feb. 22.-In the house OF COM
mons yesterday, by vote OF 200 against
l29, the house rejected n motion to re-
move the bishops from the house OF
lords on the grounds that their presence
there is incompatible with their religious
duties. The debate was notable for a
remarkable proposal by Lord Sa a>sbury's
son, Lord Hugh Cecil. who moved an
amendment. suggesting that instead OF
removing tho bishops. IL would be pref
erable 90 create the great nonconformist
preachers llfe peers. and so make the
house OF lords more representative Of the
educated classes. Mr.. Balfour described
Lord Cecirs proposal as embarrassing
and unconventional" and urged him ,
withdraw the amendment The house
was highly amused at the incident. and
the amendment was negatived without
division. t

MORE WORK FOR CHEMISTS.

Chemists. who can make sugar from,
old shirts, and perfumes as well as coli
ors from coal-tar. have other triumphs
awaiting them in the twentieth century
one of these is the manufacture OF al.
cohol from the smoke Of blast and 9TH
er coal furnaces. Coal smoke of the
kind contains ethylene. from which al
cohol is readily made by simple mean |,
and II is recognized that ere long the
smoke of high furnaces, coke oYens,anfs
gas works will be turned TO account in
this way. Meanwhile we can imagine
some philosophic Scot sitting by his

feature Of the examination was the
general assertion of witnesses that they

confronted at the outbreak of the war.

The close relation between heart trou-
