One Of the interesting items
along religious lines. indicating
the drawing together of the de-
nominations, is the recent union
Of three different churches into
one body in the dominion of Can
ada. The Northwestern Christian
Advocate gives the following fact
in regard to this union;
The merger of the Methodist, Pres
byterian and Congregationalist
Churches Of Canada into the United
Church OF Canada has been accom-
plished along lines that will doubtless
be suggestive in adjusting future
similar merges. As respects finances,
mission boards. publications, colleges
Inc pension funds the union is com
plete. All ministers of the three
Churches become ministers OF the
United Church without examination
or r~eordlnation. A dactrinal basis Of
union mas been agreed upon but it
contains nothing not already in the
creeds OF b uniting Churches.
Members pass automatically into the
new Church and REIMBURSEMENT of ON
gregatlOns and Church properties IS
expected to proceed with little friction.
interesting OF all is the new plan
OF government. The governing BODY

A Silk Producing Caterpillar.

In Assam. where the natives call
it "eri," a silk producing caterpil-
lar has been used for silk spinning
for centuries, but. strange to say,
its employment for the purpose has
been restricted almost exclusively
to that region. One Of its advan-
tages is hal its are not
sealed like those Of the common
silkworm. One end Of the c
is closed only with c%onverging loops
Of silk. This renders it unneces-
sary to kill the insect when its silk
is used.

ORPET EXPERT REFUTES
STATES POISON THEORY
Physician Says Greenhouse Cya-
hide Could Not Cause Death.

Waukegan, H., July 5.-The con-
tention Of the prosecution in the case
Of William II. Orpet. college student,
charged with the murder Of Marian
Lambert. that cyanide OF potassium IN
solution caused her death, was dealt
several blows to-day by DR.. j. A. Nes-
oner. a chemist and toXicologist.
The very root Of the two thories as
10 Marian's death is involved in the
question whether super-saturate Of
the poison was used or whether II was
taken in solid or powdered form. If a
solution, the state contends that
murder was committed, as no con-
tainer was found after the tragedy,
leaving only the explanation that
Orpet took it away with him. The pow
dered posion, however. could have been
carried by the girl in a paper, and
numerous natural causes would account
for it's disappearance.
DR.. Wesener said the cyanide avail
able to young Orpet in the greenhouse
over which the defendants father has
charge was so much weaker than that
found in the girls stomach that no
combination Of circumstances could
have increased it 20 the strength OF
that which caused death.
DR.. Wesener will be cross-examned
tomorrow.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, follolcs:
Washington. July t. 1916.
MIR. Secretary: have the honor
10 transmit in continuation the text
Of note | have just received from
my government, with instructions to
present it to your excellency:
Mr.. Secretary: Referring TO the notes
Of June 90 and 25 last, | have the
honor to say TO your excellency that
the immediate release OF the Carrizal
prisoners was further proof Of the
sincerity Of the desires Of this govern
ment to reach pacific and satisfac-
tory arrangement Of present Difficult
ties. This government is anxious to
solve the present conflict, and it would
be unjust if its attitude we're misin-
tcrprctcd
Il was also the Mexican government
that earnestly suggested a plan for
environments along the boundary line
during the conferences of Ciudad Jua-
req and Fl Paso. This government Is
disposed now. as has always been. to
seek an immediate solution Of the two
points which constitute the true
causes Of the conflict between the two
countries. TO wit: The American gov
eminent believes reasonably that the
insecurity of it's frontier is source
Of difficulty. and the Mexican govern
ment on its part believes that the stay
OF American troops on Mexican teri
tory. aside from being a trespass on
the sovereignty of Mexico, is the i'm
