SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON.
Present International Scheme to Re
Changed by a Committee

NEW YORK, April "a break seems
at last to have come in the Sunday school
international lesson scheme Since Tues
day of this week Sunday school EXPERTS
representing all religious bodies in the
United States and Canada and all lesson
experts have been in conference in this
city. For many years the demands on the
international committee TO change the
scheme have been many but since 1872
the universally of the lessons has been
continuous, and now about 100000 pupils
and teachers study these lessons weekly.
The break came recently, when the in
ternational committee considered faeorably
two propositions made by the Sunday
School Editorial Association, as follows:
"First.We favor a separate course of
lessons for one year, for beginners In Bible
study of six years old and under, and we
will heartily cooperate with your commit
tee in making a success of such series as
you may propose.
"Second-From our knowledge OF the field
and the demands of many Bible students.
we believe there should be prepared a two
years course of study, at least that should
classes. We think the time ripe for such
q course and request your committee to
provide the same in such way as will not
interfere with the present international
PLAN.
The international committee accordingly
named committees of it's members to un-
dertake the preparation of these new
courses. The Sunday School Editorial AS
ISOLATION is something new, having been or
ganized in this city this week. 1t is com
posed Of editors of Sunday school periodi-
calls, primary and other writers. Among
the boards represented in its membership
are the Presbyterian North and South the
Methodist North and South, the Baptist
North and South, the Cumberland Presby-
terrain. the Congregational, the United
Brethren. and several private publishers.
The president Of ii is NJ. G. Hazard, of
the Congregational board of Boston.
There is to be held in this city, as soon
as possible a conference of primary writ
ers Of Sunday school lessons. In the past
the members of the international commit
tee have received suggestions from many
quarters about the makeup OF their series
of lessons. but complaint is still made that
suggestions have not been needed because
made with no common purpose. Now the
committee has asked these writers TO come
together, agree upon their recommends
lions and present the same. The writer's
will come from Canada and from every
board in this country

as one of the most eminent men of science

done until Mr.. Langley's own researches in
ISL. when this heat was found TO be most
unequally distributed. coming in patches
here and there. Next it was inferred
rather than proved that this was due to the
existence Of something like dark lines or
bands resembling those called Fraunhofer
lines In the upper spectrum. No one then
knew how far this spectrum extended, but
the academy's own late distinguished MEM
Der, DR. John Draper announced in other
terms than on the same scale on which the
length OF the visible spectrum would be
one, the very end of the invisible, and OF
any spectrum at all, would be less than
three
About twenty years ago Mr.. Langley had
proved by actual measurement with the
thermopile that il extended beyond this.
and certain French observer had guessed
rather than shown that il extended further.

PERSONAL "REMINISCENCES.
About the early of this and about its

1852, nearly twenty years ago, when, being
near the summit of Mount Whitney In the
