phis. Tenn. The membership, including 5,4S7

The bishops in their reports deplored the
multiplication of eyangelists. and noted the
fact that many communities are restless
unless they havef weeks of evangelistlc
meetings yearly. or once in two years, and
an arrangement are subjected to sharp
criticism. They pEedicted "a condition In
which this state OF things may sink pastors
into mere officers of garrisons. to look after
the walls and stonRs and daily drill until
the arrival of evangelists to inspire courage
and enthusiasm and to plan and lead an
active campaign.
The liberality WAS commended Of Robert
A. Barnes of st. Lotus. who, after endowing
two chairs In the Central College and giving
$27, 900 to the St. Louis Methodist Orphans
Home, bequeathed 81 1000 for the cree
ton and maintenance of hospital under
the auspices Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South.
The general conference of 1898 assembled
in Baltimore. and the recollection of the

unnecessary. ts+f

In Canada, as in the United States. the
great body of labor legislation is to be
found in the enactments of the individual
provinces. All legislation In reference to
labor by the dominion government falls
under the heading of legislation in refer
ence to regulation of trade and commerce,
census and statistics. naturalization and
aliens, criminal law or matters not as
signed exclusively to the provinces. These
divisions are somewhat broad in scope.
and, consequently. the Dominion govern
ment has the power TO legisate regarding
a number of matters which In the United
States would fall within the province OF
the states. Thus, legislation in regard to
trade unions, picketing, intimidation. con-
spiracy, etc. in SO far as it comes within
the scope of the criminal law, is matter
for the Dominion government.
Within the past year $500 the Dominion
government, however. has entered the dis
tirct field of labor legislation through the
enactment July Is last of a comprehensive
law in relation to the settlement of INDUS
trial disputes and the creation of a de-
partment of labor for the collection and
publication of information III relation to
labor.

Naturally, the next thing to consider

and then. too. the British fired shells of
lyddite at them. and the fumes of the eX-
plosion turned them gaudy yellow in COM
plexion Now, lyddite is indigo on which
nitric acid has been poured. 1t Is not only
a thing to be melted and loaded Into shells
and set off with primer Of guncotton, but
it is brilliant yellow dye. When the ex-
plosive is made in England it is called lyd-
dite: when it is made In France 1t is called
melinite, but it will answer to either name
If It is touched off In the right way.
This may seem a queer use of indigo. but
IL Is still Queerer that all the bright colors
that we call the aniline dyes, and which
we know are derived from the coal tar pro-
ducts. are so named from indigo's other
name, anil" made in the laboratory. So
many and so wonderful are the uses to
which chemists have . put the common.

which the early manufacturers of illumi-
mating gas tried so piteously to get carted
away that one hardly dareS to speak of
them as queer. They are too great They
are amazing. They are even awe-lnspiring,
for to see whittier experimentation with the
carbon compounds has brought us is to
realize that there We are very near to the
spot where the profoundest secrets Of the
living growing world lie hid. Some Of the
triumphs of the chemist In his domain
come so near to mortal mans having q
hand in creation itself that 1t almost scares.
When q human being can make from tar
an indigo so good and SO cheap that within
the last four years 1t has risen to be the
successful rival of the indigo that the good
Lord causes to grow in plants. We may well
pause and look back upon the long and
tortuous way we have come since first our
ancestors began to make queer uses of
common things.

The BrOadside TOrpedOes.

The Navy Department is considering the
desirability of abandoning the broadside
torpedoes now generally in use war
vessels. These torpedoes are fired from
submerged tubes. ranged on the ship. and
in case they are given up by the American
navy it will be marked departure from
the existing standard Of naval construc-
ton The tubes and the machinery Of
firing take up much room, and each costs
from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t is chiefly in the
interest of economizing space that the
present change is contemplated.
