reason for the size of the drops is that
owing 10 the incident of electric cohesion
the drops are attracted TO one another and
form conglomerate drops. But don't think
electricity could prevent London fog The
only way 10 prevent a London fog is
not to cause 1t. And the way not to cause
it is not to burn coal fires like savages
in open CRATES. The day will come when
1t will be forbidden to import crude coal
into London. I confess I should like to
see the experiment tried of making gas at
the great coat fields and of conveying it to
the town in huge pipes and conduits. The
experiment of course, could not be made
with respect to London it would have
10 be conducted on 100 large a scale, but
it might be tried with small town. 1t will
have 10 come to that some day. People say
they can't bear gas stoves But as q mat
ter of fact all fires are gas stoves. People
make the gas themselves, and make 1t
badly. No doubt, however, the gas stove
of the inevitable future will be very diff
ferent contrivance from that of to-day"

What Poor Widow Did with Her
Money From the Government.

l.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Bishop Paret tells an interesting story
of the only bill in Congress he ever took
an active part in passing. Living in Wash
ington the bishop, then rector of Epiph-
any parish, found it necessary TO de-
cline signing petitions for Office or making
any requests on public men for patron
age for anyone.
Senator George F. Edmunds, who was a
member of his congregation, asked him
one day whether he never wanted any
thing done for him, and at the same time
Offering his services. DR.. Paret replied
that he wanted nothing, and then, after a
moments thought, told the senator that
there was an act of justice which he might
perform. very poor and aged widow
of Epiphany parish had a just claim
against the government which ought to be
paid. Her husband had been a Iaborer in
the war department when jefferson Davis
was secretary. The man was a good PEN
man, and Mr.. Davis employed him in some
clerical work for the government explain
ing to him that there was no money TO pay
him, but that he would procure an appro-
priation. He got the bill making the APP
preparation through the Senate, but Le-
fore IL could get through the House the
war came on, and Mr. Davis left 1t had
several times been presented since the war.
but could never pass but one house at a
session.
Mr.. Edmunds became interested in the
matter and asked for proofs, and got the
documents which satisfied him of the tus-
lice of the claim, which amounted to $640
He introduced a bill, which passed the Sen
ate, but failed in the House. The next ses-
sion he got it through the Senate again
and asked DR.. Paret if he did not know of
some Democrat who could get 1T through
the House He said he did, and spoke 10
Mr. Fernando Wood. That gentlema n
promised that IL should pass at all hazards
But he was taken III and died, and the bill
again failed in the House Senator Ed
munds then declared that the bill should
pass both houses if it consumed all his
time and he had 20 abandon everything
else, and sure enough it passed and the
poor woman got her money.
In the meantime Or. Paret had been
elected bishop of Maryland, and had come
to Baltimore to live. While the bishop
was visiting Epiphany Church some time
after the poor woman met him after serv-
ice and thanked him most gratefully for
what ne had done.
How did you use the money!" asked the
bishop.
