The Brussels Post, 1904-3-10, Page 2T11.5 iiR[l8i3111LS POST 6 17z Vxxoselo fist. THURSDAY, MAR, 10, 1904. A movement ill OU Not among the!arm- ers of Middlesex County for the forming of a oo.operative apple peeking and ship- ping assooiation, This oonolueion hoe been arrived at owing to the nneatiefao. tory oharaoter of the old methods and the probabilities are many other districts will follow Boit, A thirteen storey steel strnotore for a new hotel in New York collapsed last week killing 14 people and injuring mauy others. The disaster was paused by over- loading the floors. An investigation has been ordered as it is said oriminal negli• gene is apparent, There are always innumerable routes to go out of this world that cannot be prevented so that there is no necessity for ieareaeing the number by groes oarelesenees. Eleven stories of the ekelton frame of this hotel were up when the crash name. Owen° to the snow blockades of last week interfering with badman and abut- ting off the postal service to a large ex- tent many of the banks have found is neoeeeory to hold over paper andl grant renewals and extensions. It has been impossible to get goods through by freight trains for weeks past sothat unaccepted drafts are to be found in almost every bank in the country, awaiting the arrival of 'the freight trains. There probably has not been saoh an interference with buaioese by etorme for many years as that of the paeb two months and thous- ands of dollare will not begin to represent the lose to the ooantry to say nothing of the oomplioations arising from non- deliveranee of commodities. There will neaeeearily have to be considerable leniency shown by everybody in order to bridge over the peouliar situation. Tann is a manifest interest abroad throughout this Province, ae well as in other Provinoee, in connection with the extension of steam and electric railways and the prospects would appear to indicate that in the near future these will take tangible form. Electricity is no doubt the modern power and as the 000etrnotion of hoes and rolling stook is moth cheaper than steam roadways and more easily and oheaply manipulated their coming into general service will not be wondered at. Other pointe in their favor are that eleotrio oars will climb grades instead of the roodbed having to be out through them, rendering snow blockades less of a menace ; they can and do atop along the roadways as may beet accommodate passengers and freight and are vastly superior to steam railways for exonreions, pio•nio parties, &o. A road of this oleander from Walkerton, Wroxeter, Brussels, Seafortb and on to London would serve a fine section of country and afford very necessary facilities to the public not now possessed. The passengers, freight, stook, expreaa and conveyance of mails would guarantee a good dividend on the investment we believe. If by diverging a lake port ooald be oonvenieotly reached for Sommer tourist travel all the better as the 1000505. ed proportions of this style of pleasuring cannot be overlooked in catering to the' comfort and convenience of the people. Critics say what would your Electric road do in•thoee Northern latitudes in the Wiuter time 7 Well we suppose if the worst name to the worst, ae this Winter for ineta8ce, the line, would be blocked the game as the rteam roads only not as bad as the road bed could be and should be elevated so ae to avoid ae far as pos. sible blookadee by snow. A BIBLE ANNIVERSARY. The Bible Sooieby celebrated its hundredth anniversary on Marob 7. An association for providing the poor with oapiee of the scriptures was founded in Germany in 1710, and in 1884 nearly live million copies of the old or new teatament had been distributed is this ,way. In 1792 a society was formed in London lot dietributing Bibles in Frenob, probably as an effort to eounteraat the infidelity associated with the Revolution, organization, The or on g which is now aelebrat• owes its origin, it ie i iia aaaivexear w or 1a seed, to an incident observed by the he Rev. Thomas Charles, of Bala, in Wales,. A little girt who had been saving up her email earnings for some years to bay a Bible, walked twenty five miles to make her parttime, and found the stook all sold. She wept so bitterly that Mr, Charles proonred a Bible for ber, and brought the matter under the indite of the Religions Tract Society. The Bible Society was then formed, and its work grew to tremendous proportions. The soriptares, In whole or in part, have been traaalated into 370 languages, and dia• leote, and the number of copies distribntt ed rune into 180,000,000. In one year, 1809 00, the soolety oirauiated more than five million copies of the Bible or of separate books. It ie about three centuries since Eng- land, in tae words of Green, beoalne the people of it book and that book the Bible. When the first six Bibloa were Set up in St, Panl's Cathedral "many well die. poled people need to resort much to the hearing thereof, especially when they nonld get any that had an audible voice to toad to them, One John Porter need Sometimes to be oaoupied in that goodly exorcise, to the edifying of himself as well ail Ohara. This Porter was a fresh young man and of a big stat0re ; and maltitades Would resort thither to bear. him, beoauae he ecoid read Well and had ad audible 50110.

Postal. Statistics. From the Postmaster Geoeral'e report for the fiscal year 1908, we take the fol• lowing partionlars 000aeroiug the postal beelines of the several plane in the actuary. In reading these figures it shonid be borne in mind that while the gross postal revennel refer@ to the last year, the salary figures are based not on the revenue of last year, but on the revenue of the previous year. This is an unavoidable system persued by the de partment.

Rev, Irl R. Rieke, of St. Louie, Mo„ 'publishes in bis Word and Works, bie weather foraset for the month of Werth, which makes very discouraging reading for all who have been wishing for a pleasant turn to the weather. Ee Bays The moon ou or near the "equator in Marsh mean that it 18 at or near He new ror full, And when this oaaars with the moon in perigee, or nearest the earth, 'the °bauoes of violent storms end tidal -waves are greatly multiplied. During the preeeot month we have two full moons, each of them near perigee and the equator, and one new moon on the celestial equator. The fleet storm period for Marob will be central on the 1st, 2nd and 8rd. If the moon were on the oelestial equator forty - Bight hours earlier we would put the fleet day of the month down as a danger day. As it is violent seiamio and equi- nootial perturbations need not surprise any reader of these forecasts any where from the let to 4th. These storms will be of a tropioal (Anteater in all Southern directions, with probable danger or South -emote, while rain will turn to snow and blizzards over moatP arts of the country Nod, P Northward. A char cold wave for the season, with high barometer, will follow the storms at this tiros. We admonish roar readers against possible danger to life and live stook during this and other Mar oh periods. The next storm period is central on • the 6th, extending from the 5th to the 'Gib. The barometer will begin falling and the temperature r!eing in Western parte by the 6th, and during the 61b to Sth inalneive, more native dieturban0es with rain, wind and snow Will take ap their march Eaetward throes the country. Do not be unprepared for severe dashes of late Winter out of the Northwest along 'with the Aging barometer and Westerly tangents behind the first stages of these storms. A perceptible softening of the elements will return and touching the ilii, 12th and 18t1a, and marked storm osnditlone followed by more rain, turning to snow :Northward, will be moat natural an and • about these days. The Meroury petiod whioh is minimi on the 20th precipitate •eleet etorme at this period, and threaten. ing, cloudy weather will most likely be prolonged into the storm period next following, For more than twenty-five 1 years we have annually called attention to the foot that oar globe p15505 a orieie of magnetic, eleotrio, seismic, and egni. nbdtial perturbations within forty-eight bonen of March the llbb, The new and lull moons being removed from this period title year, this annual period may i 34 modified this month and 1111 diettirlr• anoee largely delleoted into the periods next before and after it, We will name the 16th to the 214 as one of the moat general, active and dangerous periods of diabnrbance in Marob, Msreury, Vulcan and earth will all centralize their perturbing iuflueneee into tais.period, while the moon will be new, or in oonjonation with earth and sun on the 16th and on the se'estial equator on the 17th. Thunder stoma, equinoobial gales and tidal waves, seismic phenomena, all followed by Meroh b!ia zarde Northward and a sweeping hi, It barometer and oold wave, are the thwge to be looked for at this time. General and destruebive sleet will he most natural Northward during this Mercury period. The 28rd and 24th are central days of a reactionary storm period. On and bombing these dates look for return of marked storm oouditiona attended by heavy rain Southward, turning to elan, snow and very disagreeable stormy weather in tumbrel and North eecbiocs, The Vulcan storm period ooveriug the last eve days of Meroh and reaahiug into April, will ooitninane on the 29th, 80th and 3109in violent storms and dangerous tidal waves. Moon on egaator, in peri. gee and fall, as at the first of the mouth, will intensify seismic shakes, tropical storms and blizzards. Let our readers be on the watch. Presbytery of Maitland. The Presbytery of Maitland met in Wingitam, on Tuesday Marob let, with Rev. D. Porde, Moderator, in the chair. Rev. Dr, Murray, was appointedcora vener of the Presbytery's Home Mission Committee, for the ensuing year, and Rev. D. Verde,convener of the Augmen- tation 0 I tation O tatse The Presbytery vented permission to the llervie oongregatioa to sell their old aburoh edifioe, and apply the proceeds on the debt of the aburoh recently erected.

Reports were read on "Church Life and Work," "Sabbath Schools," and "Young People's Societies," These were in many reepeots gratifying ; but they were not altogether eo. The average attendauae in the Sabbath Schools of the Presbytery as reported was considerably lase than last year, whioh is mash to be regretted. On the other band the Young People's Societies of the Presbytery bad exoeeded all their previous givings for the support of a 1%liseionary in the North West by about 960. Their total contri butione for this purpose were $270,00, or 920,00 more than they promised. The resignations of the elders of Moles- worth congregation, were accepted as the Presbytery bad no indication of any intention ou their part to withdraw them. Aa it had come to the knowledge of the Presbytery that Knox church, Ripley, and Knox °beech, Benin : Bloevale, and Eadies; and Langeide aongregatioua bad fnoreaeed the stipends of their respective mioiebono, congratulations were tendered to these congregations on their thoughtful liberality, and evident appreciation of the eervioe@ rendered them in the name of the Master.
