LONDON. May 26.-Carmel. pictur-
esque South Wales village on the heights
of Mynyddy Cerrig, has for some weeks
been the scene of extraordinary religious
happenings unuer the influence of Mrs.
Sarah Jones.
Hymn singing and prayers are heard
in the cottages at all hours of the day.
and in the evening revival services are
held lasting into the early hours of the
following morning. 1t is not an unusual
sight to see men and women gnash their
teeth, tear their hair. beat their heads.

wildly. and falling down in paroxysms-
Addressing one man who went 60 ses

borer. said: Il have message for you-
have been with Christ. and he has told
me all. Oh, joy of being with him He
has told me all things The message is
for you. You viii be prosecuted. The
martyrs crown is for you. can see it
on the other side of the clouds 1t is
there waiting for you and me; behind the
clouds
In one respect Mrs. Jones is unlike
Evan Roberts. She does not hide herself
from her fellows for stated periods. On
the contrary, her humble cottage is open
all day to any who choose to call, and
she has hundreds of callers. whom she
exhorts TO leave the world as she has
done, and see holy things and eommun-
ion with Christ
The effect of her discourses upon her
hearers cannot be translated into cold
print. The villagers are inclined to at
tribute to her even greater powers than
she claims for herself. They think she
has the power of curing diseases. and
some go so far as to assert that she will
ultimately be given power to raise the
dead. They say she has seen wonderful
things and has been given a message
from heaven for them.
If you attempt to argue with them to
the contrary they reply that what has
happened in her case is not so amazing
as the events of Pen -ecost. They regard
Mrs Jones with great awe and venera-
ton. and believe that 10 those who have
faith everything is possible.

LONDON. May as.-The first edition of
the electrobus was seen in London
streets yesterday 1t is. as its name i'm
plies, an omnlous driven by electric pow
er. and it will, within a few weeks. throw
down the gauntlet to the rapidly in
creasing army of petrol omnibuses-
Electrobus No. 1. the property of the
London Electrobus Company, Ltd. was
on view yesterday in the court of the
Hotel Cecil. whence several short runs
were made during the morning. In ap-
pearance it differs very little from the
petrol bus. 1t is. however generally
smaller and considerably shorter. which.
it is claimed. makes it easier to manipu-
late in the crowded thoroughfares. The
weight is a little less than that of the
petrol bus and the seating accommoda-
ton is the same-namely, thirty-four.
1t is claimed by the directors of the
Electrobus Company that they have
solved the vexed question of producing a
serviceable mechanically driven omnibus
adapted to the needs of London streets.
which can be run without assaulting the
sense of the public. and they confidently
anticipate that the petrol omnibus. young
as it is, will shortly be an obsolete vehi-
Gle. so far as urban traffic is concerned.
A representative of The Call who took
trip in the electrobus from the Hotel
Cecil up Chancery lane and along Hol-
born, returning via Kingsway found that
the only vibration experienced was that
due to the irregularities of the road sur
face. There was absolutely no throb of
machinery. On the asphalt road the ON
nibus ran as smoothly as a tramcar. and
its progress was practically noiseless.
There was no smell whatever no percep-
tible jolt at starting. and the chauffeur
guided the great vehicle through the
Dense noisy traffic with ease.
In twelve months the London Electro
bus Company, Ltd, hope to have 800
similar vehicles upon the London streets.
Forty are expected to be running within
two months between Victoria and Kings
Cross. which will be the first route to be
exploited.

Stanley Netherton Nearly
Electrocuted.

The many friends of Stanley Neither
ton, who is attending the University
of Nevada, will be panied to learn that
he was quite seriously injured by coming
in contact with heavily charged electric
wire one day last week. Young Neither
ton had hold of a radiator in Lincoln
Hall and accidentally brushed against
the extension. A circuit was established
and he received a severe shock. He
could not release his hold on the radia-
tor until the current was turned off by a
thoughtful student in the room. 1t was
a wonder that Stanley was not fatally in
jured. AS it was he was confined to his
room for some time by his injuries, but
is now recovering from the shock An
investigation showed that there was
faulty insulation in the high power wires
in the basement where they came in
contact with the radiator pipes and the
pipes had been highly charged.
