Canadian Inventors.
Edison gent his apprenticeship days in
Canada, his first experiments having been
made while a telegrapher in the employ of
the Grand Trunk. Bell, the inventor of the
telephone, blossomed out in. Brantford, Ont.,
where the telephone was ushered into the
world after much thought, study and anxie-
ty upon the part of the inventor. .And now
another former resident of Brantford bids
fair to adieve a great rgutation 'in the
field of invention. We refer to Mr. G. A.
Goodson, of St. Paul, who comes out with
an invention that promises to revolutionize
type -setting, the power used being electric-
ity. The machine, which has just been in-
spected by a number of Minnesote capital-
ists, is known as a matrix. • It will set per-
fectly at the rate of 200 impressions a min-
ute or 5,000 "ems" an bour, against the
1,100 " anis" the average compositor can
now set. A test that was made was so sat-
isfactory that a number of wealthy men
took hold of it and incorporated under the
name of the Minneapolis Electric Matrix
Company, with a capital stock of $1,000,-
000. It is said that an operator atationed
in Chicago can set type at one and the
same time in Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minne-
apolis, Omaha, Kansas City and St. Louis ;
in fact every office on it circuit can be am
commodated. Verily this is the age of in-
vention 1 Mr. Goodson is by profession an
electrician. He has been m the United
States about six years, and went to Minne-
apolis very shortly after crossing the line.
A Gathering of Biehops.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has sum -
:rimed a great Pan -Anglican synod to meet
at Lambeth on July 3rd next, and the meet-
hig will be a notable one. The first of these
gatherings of all the bishops of the world in
communion with the See of Canterbury was
held in, 1867, but it was largely an experi.
meat in which a good deal of friction mani-
fested itself, although the general result was
good. During the past twenty years, how-
ever, a great change has come over the An. •
glican Church and the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the United States, the growth of
the desire for Christian unity being especial-
ly remarkable. Important results, there-
fore, are expected to follow , from the am, ,
preaching sYnod. The topics which it will •
discuss are thus stated :— "The Church's
work in relation to intemperance, purity,
oare of immigrants and soeialistn ; the defin-
ite teaching of the faith in the various classes
of men; the relation of the Anglican Com-
munion to the Eastern, Western and Re-
formed Churches ; polygamy, heathen con-
verts and divorce; authoritative standards
of doctrine and worship, and the mutual
relations of dioceses and branches of the An-
glican communion." The discussion of such
important matters can scarcely fail to be
productive of good results.
Mr. Chamberlain and Temperance.
Mr. Chamberlain has made some strong
temperance geodes in his time, and niany
of his utterances have been very pithy. In
one of his speeches he said "Temperance
reform lies at the bottom of all further /ton.
deal, social and religious progress. Drink
is the curse of the country ; it ruins the for-
tunes, it injures the health, it destroys the
lives of one m ten—I am afraid I should be
right in saying 0330 in 20—of our population,
and anything which can be done.to prevent
this, or to diminish this terrible sacrifice of
human life and human happiness, is well
worthy of all the attention and the study
which we can give it." In another, he said:
"11 there is in the whole of this (liquor)
busineas any single encouraging feature, it
is to be found in the growing impatience of
the people at the burden whieh they are
forced to bear, and their growing indigna-
tion and sense of the dame and disgrace
which it imposes upon them." On another
occasion Mr. Chamberlain,observed: " If 1
oould destroy to -morrow the desire for strong
drink in the people of England, what changes
should we See? We should see our Taxes
Reduced by Millions sterling! We should
see more Lives Saved in twelve months than
are consumed in a century of bitter and ser -
age War."

Dr, Sehwerin, wto wee sent out a year
ago by the Sweden Government to make an
investigation of the Congo Valley with a
view of ascertaining what advantages it
offered for colonization, has returned with a
highly favourable report. The climate, the
soil and ihe geographical features of the

the eetablishment of colonies, It may, then,
take place in the near future that large
portions of thie most invitieg district of

TheHon. Edward Pierrepont,late Minister
of the States to England had in a late num-
ber of the N, Y. Independent a wild article
against England as the hated and unscrupu-
lous rival of the United States in the world
of dome -aortae a.s well as in that of politics.
It seems that Britain is plotting the ruin of
the Great Republio and does not care by
what measures this is accomplished. Talk
of that kind is foolish, and wicked as it is
foolish. One country cannot really 'rover
' by ruining another, and certainly the British
people as a whole have nothing but feelings
of the kindliest to the United States, how-
ever much it may be different with some of
the bitterer Tories. Mr. Pierrepont, how-
ever, is likely to be correct in his estimate of
the future as contained in the following
paragraph:
A Buffalo milkman wears a nickel five -
cent piece as a watch charm, and gives this
reason: "Over a year ago I took this niokel
which was then beautifully gold plated, as
a $5 gold piece, in ,payment of a bill. As
soon as I detected the fraud I took it back
to the woman who passed it on me, but she
refused to make it good. So I fastened ib
to my watch chain and kept on supplying
her with milk. But now every day I make
her quart one-fourth water, and once a week
I credit her with one-fourth the amount of
her milk bill. When the sum total stand-
ing th her credit is 84.95 she shall have pure
milk once more, and not until then. She
knows the milk is watered, but whenever
she shows an inclination to oomplalre I han-
dle the nickel and say that my milk is as
pure as gold.' That settles it.'
• By far the youngest of the four Presidents
that the French republic has had during tEe
sixteen yeers of its existence is M. Carnot,
whose election, some days ago, was Satida--
tory all around. The first President, M.
Thieve was 74 years of age when elected in
1871, and in his seventy-seventh year when
he resigned the office. Gen. Madfahon was
over 65:when he became President in 1873,
and nearly seventy when his Presidency
ended. M. Grevy was 64 when elected
President in 1877, and 74 wher. he tesigned
a fortnight ago. But M. Carnet was born
as late as 1837, and consequently only 50
years old when raised to the office of Pre-
sident. M. Carnet is one of the three com-
paratively young men among the rulers of
the powers of Europe. Queen Victoria is
in the sixty-ninth year of her • age; the
Kaiser William is in his ninety.first year;
Francis • Joseph is in his fifty-eighth;
Christian IX. is on the verge of seventy,
and Leopold II. is close th fifty-three. The
two younger rulers besides M. Carnet are
Alexander III., who is forty-two, and Hum-
bert IV., who is forty-three. • Thus Presi-
dent Carnot of the rench republic is the
youngest of the ci ief rulers of Europe, and
is also younger by it half year than Pre-
sident Cleveland of the Araerican republic.
Christi= Missionaries in Africa,
Mr. Joseph Thomson, the celebrated
African traveller, is hard upon many Chris-
tian Missionaries in Africa. And there may
be just more or less of truth in what he
says. It is in this way he writes to the
London Tintee
"It may appear that I think Mehemet"-
anism is a more suitable religion for the
African than Christianity. Far be from me
the thought. I am prepared to say, haw -
ever, that it is more suited th the African
than Christianity as taught. By their
fruits ye shall know them.' Applying that
rule to Africa, there can be no denying the
fact that Mahomedanisra has immeasur-
ably the best of it What are the petty re.
sults of over three hundred years of Chris-
tian contact, as shown on the West Coast
of Africa, compared with the immense
civilizing work of the reviled religion
in the Central and Western Soudan. It
is enough te make our Christian mis-
sionaries hang their heads. Only they
rarely learn anything, rarely take a les-
son. The secret of the latber's want of
success is easily found. They have never
attempted th mingle common-sense with
their teaching. With astonishing blindness
and obstinacy they persist in senseless and
impracticable methods, even attempting to
gratt the higher, nay the varyhigbest con-
ceptioes of the Christian religion upon low,
undevelsped brains incapable of their cern-
prehension, • not to speak of their assimila-
tion, trusting, however, in Providenee to do
the watering and give the increase. Till
the mitisionary learns the necessity of not
preaching from his level, but of getting
down th the savages he will neveiernake any
permanent headway. 1 have nut it Word to
eay againet the nen; I simply attack their
metheds, believing that they might not only
rival the sticoese of Me homeclatiism, but far
excel it."
