In st. Patrick's cathedral, New York
city. has recently been installed, and is
operated by single stage air com.
pressor with normal speed of 100
revolutions per minute, connected by
gearing with an electric motor. The
compressor works to pressure of ~
pounds to the square inch, and there
are several reservoirs I'm which the air
is stored before 1t Is admitted to the
operating cylinders. The tongues of
the bells are connected each with n
cylinder, the clappers being double
and balancing each other. The piston
rod of the air cylinder is attached ia
central stud projecting below the
center of the clapper, and when the air
Is admitted TO the cylinder the piston
moves forward and blow is struck
The weight of the clapper and spring
serve to bring 1t back to Its normal po'
sition. There is provided in the sac
risty of the cathedral keyboard
where, by an electric circuit, electro
magnets are excited, which open the
air valves. The apparatus is now be

THE SOLITARY CABLE CHoKED.

London. Dec 22.-There is still no definite
news regarding the military operations in South
Africa. Probably this is because the only cable
that is now working is choked with official
dispatches.
Royal letters. signed by the Queen. are being
circulated by the Archbishop to the bishops Of
the various dioceses authorizing a collection in
the churches throughout England on January
In aid of the fund for sick and wounded sol
diers and their families.
Interest centres for the moment in the prepa-
rations to send out reinforcements. The vari-
Gus city guilds have given an additional $4,000
for the expenses of the imperial volunteers, be-
sides gifts Of horses. ambulances and other
paraphernalia.
The latest notable volunteers include two
ncphews Of Lord Roberts. Major Charles Shers-
ton and Major Maxwell Sherston. Their brother
was killed at Glencoe.
The Admiralty have decided 10 dispatch an
other naval brigade OF seven hundred men TO
South Africa.
1t is believed that in mobizing the Eighth
Division. the War Office Will have recourse to
some extent to the militia, It being deemed in
advisable 10 denude the home garrisons over
much Of regulars.
The Chancellor Of the Exchequer. Sir Michael
Hicks Beach. has issued formal denial that
any differences exist in the Cabinet regarding
war expenditure.
According 10 dispatch from Cape Town there
