FOLLOWING aMoRMoNIsM.,


The Wilkesbane Union Leader learns
hat Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale,
who Is about TO retire from the PASTOR
ate OF the South Congregational church
Of Boston. has introduced an innovation
at the communion service, which Is no
less than the substitution Of water for
wine.
The reasons given for the change are
several. Or. Hale argues that II Is not
essential 10 the Sacrament that wine
should be used. The reason, he thinks,
why the Juice Of the grape was selected
by our Savior was this, that wine was
The common drink Of the country az
that time, and not It's paricu-
lar suitability as a sacred emblem.
Water he asserts, Is the common drink
u this country, and II should therefore
be used in the Sacrament. 1t IS the
most natural fluid TO put upon our
communion tables.
II IL further asserted that many per-
sons find wine. even In The smallest
quantity a temptation and snare to
them. Some Of them feel that they
cannot consclentlously partake OF the
Sacrament, as long as in II is offered
sn intoxicating drink, and Or. Hale be.
lleYes the church should remove every
stumbling block In the road Of those
who may be weak and easily led astray.
The matter Is worth mentioning as
another instance Of the christian
world slowly but surely following in
the track Of the Church. The Latter
day Saints have FOR years renewed
their covenants by partaklng Of Gods
pure water in the Sacramento cup in
stead Of the adulterated fluid sold I'M
der the name OF wine. The Saints have
at times been rldlculed for this, but
It appears Notwithstanding that their
example has had its influence upon the
world.
It has often been noticed that Nor

RELIEF or KIMBERLEY.
Springfield Republican.

The Beers may make great efforts to
menace Lord Roberts c0mmunica-
lions in Cape Colony from the begin
ming OF his invasion; indeed, their re-
cent successes at Rensburg point that
way. The situation is such, indeed,
that after eliminating Kimberley and
even Ladysmith. serious students Of
modern military art, both In Europe
and this country, are openly expressing
grave doubts as to England's ability
TO carry the projected invasion through
to Il complete triumph. The Beers,
on their part. may well refrain from
offering the invaders opportunities TO
fight decisive battles until the foe has
undergone the sweats Of a long march
In u dry. burning country, far from
their base Of supplies. The invasion
will be no such brilliant flight into
Egypt as Kitchener had on his way

The raising OF the American flag by
Canadians on a transport with troops
for the South African war was to say
the least. In bad taste, as foreigners
have no right to use the flag Of another
nation except In n way TO represent
that nation. The United States arc not
at war with South Africa, and the re-
ported use Of the Stars and Stripes was
discourteous For Canadians or others
10 hoist an American flag In expressing
their harmony OF sentiment with Amerl-
can action. or for Americans to raise
the Union Jack In token OF their per-
sonal endorsement Of Britain's course
is a proper proceeding, but a nation at

Nonfreezine Water Pipe.

The Germans, who are so far ahead
of many nations in certain class Of
technical skill, have incorporated into
their plumbing practice nonfreezing
water pipe which will save an incalcu-
liable amount of annoyance and pro-
family in a single winter. The purpose
of the invention is not only to prevent
the water from being frozen, but to
provide an opportunity for its expan-
sion by cold. Into the iron pipe, as far
as it is above the ground, there is in
serted a second narrower pipe of thin
sheet tin or lead, which is filed with
an elastic substance, such, for instance
as rubber. This insertion remains I'M
affected by the ordinary pressure, but
if the water should be frozen by ex-
IRENE cold the elastic insertion is COM
pressed by so much as the volume OF
water is increased by the freezing.
With the coming of the thaw the inser
ton expands again to it's original cir
conference. The object of the tin or
lead around the insertion is to prevent
an unpleasant taste or odor being inn
parted to the water. 1t is said that wa
ter pipes provided with such an inser
ton have withstood a cold test of 40
degrees centigrade, while others that
were not so provided invariably burst
at that temperature. Sketch.

Electricity and Cats.

Strangely enough, 1 once had an i'm
preston that cats tendency was to
travel north and to face the north as q
magnet does. and that this tendency
had some intimate association with the
electrical strength of its fur In brief,
looked upon a cat as lightning con-
ductcr on a small SCALE and that &C
cording to its temperature, negative or
positive, did it face north or south or
just as the points of its fur were at
tracted by the negative or positive poles
Of the earth. I was led to this by some
observations 1 had made some years
previously in the London suburbs. Then
I noticed that the cats of that particu-
lar district had a tendency to walk face
toward the north rather than to walk
on walls that ran east and west. AS to
the idea that cats are good weather
gauges. 1 do not credit that. I believe
that the reason a cat washes itself over
its ears or not is bound up with the
particular method by which the particu-
lar animal cleans itself Its main object
in washing. to my mind, is just to com
plete an electrical circuit, for by SO do
ing it generates heat and therefore a
pleasing sensation in it's fur-Cassell's

DEEP SEA LIFE.
An Expedition to Explore the Bot
ton. of the Ocean.

An Expedition to Explore the Bot
ton, of the Ocean.
An expedition left London short
time ago, says Chambers Journal, the
object of which was to investigate a
most important problem regarding the
distribution of life in the sea. 1t used
to be believed that the ocean depths
We're tenantless and that all life was
confined to the shallow surface belt, but
this idea had to be abandoned even be-
fore the Challenger went on her mem
orable voyage of scientific research.
Next the idea was mooted that the
oceanic fauna was confined to the sur
face and bottom BELTS separated by an
intermediate zone of barrenness. Dur
ing the Challenger expedition it was
found that if the depth at which the
surface nets were towed was increased
new animals We're inclosed in their
meshes, an observation which pointed
to the probability of life at all depths.
The investigations now in progress are
designed to settle this important point.
The Oceana, fitted with deep sea gear
and every modern appliance, is at work
off the west coast of Ireland. 1t was
intended that extended observations
should be made with Il chain of tow
nets, the length of which would be
gradually increased until a depth of
2, 600 fathoms was reached Expert
ments We're also devised with nets of q
self opening and closing nature, so that
samples of life at different depths could
thus be secured. 1t was also intended
to conduct experiments with a deep sea

at the expense of the Royal Geograph-
ical society and the Diapers and Fish
mongers' companies.

atmospheric Pressure.

1t is well known that the pressure of
the atmosphere on the surface of the
earth is about 1 3 pounds to the square
inch, equivalent, that is, to a pressure
at the lower end of a column of mer-
curry about 80 inches high or to the
pressure of column of water 81 feet
high. DR.. Woodward of Columbia uni
versity, in some interesting researches
on this line, concludes that such an
equivalence of pressure gives at once a
lower limit to the-mass of the atmos-
phere, for this mass must be greater
than that of layer of mercury cover
ing the entire earth to depth of 80
inches or of layer of water "a feet in
depth. But the attainment of an upper
limit to the mass Of the atmosphere DR..
Woodward declares to be less easy,
since it is believed to extend to a height
of about 100 miles and may exist in an
attenuated form even to several thou
sands Of miles-the problem being fur
Their complicated by the fact that the
atmosphere rotates with the earth. An
outcome Of the Investigations made by
this learned scientist is briefly that the
mass Of the atmosphere must be greater
than one-millionth and less than one
twelve-hundredth of the entire mass Of
the earth.

ADanish zoologist. August Fjelstrup,
is said to have discovered a new and
efficient way of preserving meat. which
has been adopted with success in the
Danish slaughter houses during the last
year. The method is founded on the
theory that decomposition of the blood
is almost entirely responsible for the
rapid putrefaction of the animal body.
Means are therefore, taken to remove
the blood from the carcass Immediately
after death and to inject the vessels
with solution of brine, the entire proc
ess occupying only few minutes It is
not stated to what extent this treat
ment alters the character Of the meat
from gastronomic point Of view, but
we assume that it would, in the case OF
imported meats, be far preferable to
some of the methods of meat preserva-
ton now in vogue Foreign hams and
more especially hares, are preserved
with some resinous compound, which
not only takes away the original flavor
of the meat, but makes it absolutely
nauseous. chambers Journal
