ANNIVERSARY OBSERVED.
St. Paurs Mems Club Listen to Rev.
 Mir. Bell.

The anniversary exercises of the Mems club of St Pauls church were held at the parish house last night, when there was very large attend ance of the members as well as their lady friends. The special feature of the evening was the illustrated lecture by the Rev. Robert Bell, entitled "A Sum mer Through Europe" Mir. Bell, who travelled through Denmark, Germany, France, England and Scotland last summer, was fortunate enough to se- cure many splendid pictures of vari- ous historical spots throughout the Old World. MT. Bell had these converted in to colored slides, and together with the literary part made up a most instruc- tive and pleasing entertainment. The lecture has already been referred to at length in the columns of The Journal Courier. And it has been given with great success before many church and fraternal bodies in various parts of the State.

each pile being two cubic yards, and
$40 barrels of cement were used in
making the concrete.
The piles are set by using a wooden
cylinder which is first driven into the
ground and the earth and mud within
removed by water pressure from a
hose. The hose is forced into the soft
material inside the cylinder, and the
pressure stirs up the mud, which flows
over the top. The water is then ST.
phoned out.
The driving of the cylinder is not so
difficult as would first appear 1t is
easily driven to hardpan. which ia

Of the cylinder and small portion of
dry cement is first sboveIed into the

and then the concrete will first be ex-

slmnIs Freezing Device.

A new freezing device is being ex-
plotted In Germany which is especially
adapted for domestic purposes. The
apparatus is quite inexpensive to make
and operate. 1t consists merely Of a
double wall tin vessel with a capacity
Of five gallons. The hollow space be-
tween the two walls is about an inch
across. By the gradual admission of
carbonic acid into this hollow space
through an opening at the bottom and
from there to the vessel proper through
a cross arm tube it is claimed that wa
ter may be converted into ice in the
space of sixty seconds and that meats,
fruits and beverages, such as beer or
wine. may be chilled or frozen in few
seconds. This effect is produced by the
sudden great reduction of temperature
caused by the rapid expansion of the
carbonic acid, which is admitted from
an ordinary carbonic acid reservoir.

HALos IN REAL LIFE.

French Scientist Discovers Luminous
Rays Over Patients Heads.
As sequel to the recent discovery
of NJ Dumas, an eminent French sa-
want, that the "odor of sanctity" is q
scientific fact. DIR. Fere of the Bicetre
hospital has just published a treatise
in which he proves that the halo or
dlnarlly attributed to saints actually
exists in nature He tends to prove
that the circle of light which artists
old and modern always represented
about the heads of sacred personages
was not a mere matter of Imagination,
but that it really was there and In GER
tain circumstances could even have
been Photographed. He carefully
points out, however, that the halo is
rather indicative Of certain patholog-
zeal conditions than of extraordinary
morality.
DR.. Fere, after long and careful In
vestigation, discovered that cases were
not rare in which halos appeared about
the heads of his patients. He cites the
case of a neurasthenic who during q
severe attack of brain fever projected
from his scalp luminous rays some ten
inches in length. The nimbus was SO
clearly marked that the physician him.
self and the trained nurse easily dis
tinguished It, Another patient, prey
to an overwhelming emotion, suddenly
had not only his head, but his hands
surrounded by peculiar orange light
The doctor points out that this is very
similar to some Of the golden halos
that old masters put about the heads
of their sanity subjects.-Paris Cor
