Clerical Inventors.

To the list of clerical inventors you
might add the Rev. E. L. Berthon, the
designer of the famous boat bearing
his name, which is in use almost all
over the world Nor was this by any
means the only notable invention of
the versatile Hampshire vicar, for the
world owes to his fertile brain a speed
indicator, horizontal berth for cattle
at sea, collapsible pontoons and many
other useful appliances. 1t was Mr..
Berthon, too, who first conceived the
idea of the screw propeller, the YER
dict on which by the admiralty ex-
perts in 1885 was that "it was a pretty
toy, which never would and never
could propel a ship" Among other
clerical inventors we cannot overlook
the Rev. B. Darnley Smith, originator
of an ingenious device for protecting
choice fruit from the attacks Of birds
and wasps, and the late Bishop Stubs,
who invented and patented a SLEEPY

that the hare should be associated
with this season. In Germany the
Easter hare is almost as important a
parsonage as st. Nicholas, and its
habits somewhat resemble those Of
that much loved saint On the night
before Easter a white hare enters the
homes of all children who have been
good and hides in all sorts of out-of-
the-way corners any number of beau
tifully colored eggs. Anyway. the
children find the eggs when they hunt
for them, and it would perhaps be
presumption on the part Of any one
who is not a German to express an
opinion as to where they really come
from.
rabbit is not a hare, although
they are cousins. There is one
marked difference between them. The
baby rabbit, as all know who keep
these little animals as pets, comes
into the world blind and helpless,
while the baby hare has its eyes
open from the beginning, and is soon
able to take care of itself. 1t has
been believed that the hare never
closes its eyes, and that is one rea-
son why it is chosen as the symbol
Of the moon, which always has its
eyes open and sees everything that
goes on at night. Just how the rab-
bit error was introduced is not
known. 1t may have been all the
fault of the confectioners, who no
doubt thought they could make candy
without studying nature, and there
fore never learned that there was any
difference between a rabbit and /.
hare.
The use of eggs in the celebration
Of spring is an ancient custom,
for the egg has always been the sym
Dol Of creation and new life. 1t is
easy to understand why this should
be, for every one knows that all the
doWny little chickens and ducklings
come out of eggs, as well as a multi
tHde of other birds that don't look
so pretty because they are in such
hurry to get out that they won't
wait to put on their downy garments.
The egg had been used in the Jewish
Feats Of the Passover, and when the
Christian festival of Easter was estab-
lished its use was retained with an
added meaning, for it became the
symbol of the Resurrection.

Immense saItpetre Beds.

Anibal Cruz, Minister from Chile to
the United States, said that reports
that the immense beds of saltpeter
found in that country will be exhaust
ed in a few years are erroneous.
Those beds will not last merely a
hundred years or two hundred, but
will be helping to make Chile wealthy
thousand years from now. Chile is
the only country in the world in which
such deposits of saltpetre are found.
They are for the most part owned by
Germans and Englishmen. The Ger
mans are the most heavily interest
ed, with the English next. Most OF
the saltpetre is exported to Hamburg,
While some of it goes to Liverpool.
The Chilean government derives a
large amount of revenue from this ex
port trade, as a duty OF about TWO
shillings a ton is exacted on all that
is sent out. The revenue amounts TO
eighty or ninety million shillings each
year" Washington Herald.

necessary to all the members of the
human race, big or little, and nothing
could be more natural than that there
should be one at this time of the
year, when nature is waking up
from her long winter sleep to put on
new life. There has perhaps never
been a time when there was not
celebration Of some kind at the end
OF winter for people must express
their joy in one way or another, even
AZ it is only as the little girls do,
when, at the first signs of spring,
they invariably with one accord get
out their skipping ropes, which may
have been laid away and forgotten for
eleven months.
The word Easter is probably de-
rived from Eastre, the name of the
Saxon goddess of spring, and it is
easy to imagine that before our
heather ancestors were converted to
christianity they used to have a
great spring festival in honor of the
goddess. With the advent of Chris
tianity the same season, when all
nature suggests joyous thoughts,
would naturally be selected for the
Festival that commentaries the resur-
rection of Christ.
At first there was great disagree
ment as to the exact day that should
be set for this great festival. The
Jewish Christians wanted to have it
at the same time as the Feast of the
Passover, but others would not agree
to that, and the result was that for
hundreds Of years different branches
of the Church celebrated Easter on
different days. 1t is because a part
of the Church did at one time keep
Easter at the same time as the Jew
1sh Passover that the word "paschal'
is now used in reference either to
Easter or the Passover. The question
as to the particular day on which
Easter was to be celebrated was dis
cussed in Church councils, and all
the learned men of the Church gave
At their most serious consideration,
until it was finally decided that
Easter Day should be the first Sum
day after the full moon which hap
pens upon or next after March 21;
and If the full moon happens upon a
Sunday, Easter Day is the Sunday
after" No one is expected to under
stand this except the astronomers and
mathematician, who discover and
announce to the general public on
what particular day Easter will fall
each year. III
The only reason for mentioning
this bewildering decision of the
Church is that it gives a hint Of the
connection between Easter and rab-
bits. 1t must first be explained that
the rabbit Is all a mistake, and the
animal that appears in our Easter
pictures and done in sugar in the

Mexico suffers from the water-hy-
acinth pest, as Louisiana and Florida
do. The national government has de-
cided to spend $4,000 a year for the
determination of the plant in Lake
Chapala and the Santiago river, in
which the tangled growth has serious
ly interfered with navigation for the
past few years. The engineer in
charge believes that if the appropria-
ton is doubled in 1908 he will be able
to complete the work of destruction
this year. The original plan was to
use chemical solution to kill the
plants, but this method proving unsuc-
cessful, they have been for the last
year taken out of the water, piled on
the shore to dry and then burned.
