MIX-UP IN 'PHONES. Demonstration of One of the Disadvaa- tages of ;.Competition. A young woman who finally succeeded in using a telephone at the Bourse the other .day must have been a novice at the work, and though she evidently fol- lowed a method that had been carefully explained to her .things happened which caused her to get very much mixed. .tier 'first care was to look up the number in th.e telephone book. Then she went into a little booth in which were both a Bell and a Keystone instrument. They were .so close as to be almost touching, and; without noticing her mistake she took down the Keystone receiver and then 'stood listening with her mouth pucker ea up, o11 ready to speak at the Bell in- strument. It was an exhibition of inno- cence and faith too beautiful to disturb. In a moment, in response to what was evidently a demand, she called the num- ber she wanted into the uulistening Bell 'phone. "I am speaking' Ioud," she said, after a listening pause. "I want Poplar 1S37 A." This she called out at the top of her voice, and it must have carried to the keystone instrument, for after a moment the girl exclaimed: "No such number! Why, there must be such a number. I've just got it out of the book." • At this point an attendant who had watched the performance stepped up to the booth and explained the trouble. The girl, now much embarrassed and con- fused, kept the Keystone receiver and turned to the Keystone 'phone. She gave the name of the person she wanted and learned' that she would have to look up the number in the Keystone book. The number happened to be there, and so the business intended originally for one com- pany went to the other company.

The cycling infection has now spread to the adjoining territory in Burma; for in Akyab a bevy of young Burmese ladies may be seen taking the air awheel. The Burmese woven are the most intelligent and progressive in the east, in some re- ' epects even enjoying more liberty than their European sisters; so that it is only natural that they should take the lead -••in cycling.

A Curious Plant for Lifting and Dis- charging the Coal. The storing of coal at Gibraltar is ao- cdmplished by means of .a very curious plant, which has just been completed for the pumping station at Landport by a firm of Leeds contractors. In this huge rock -fortress the coal store, boiler -house and the engine room adjoining, are worked under compressed air, and are necessarily air -tight. The store to which the coal has to be conveyed is hewn out of the solid rock, and is absolutely bomb proof. A special feature is the arrange- ment of the coal plant in such a way that it does not interefere with the air pressure. The coal is lifted from the coal tip 57 feet below the horizontal traveller. The skip by which the coal is conveyed is'raised by means of a steel wire rope, working along pulleys and round a driving drum. The skip is low- ered in to a receiving hopper,w here it discharges. At the bottom of the hopper is an automatic arrangement, consisting of a hinger door ,controlled by a lever and a balance weight; this door opens when there is sufficient coal in the hop- per to overcome the balance, closing again as soon as the coal is discharged, and thus avoiding the escape of air. From this point the coal gravitates into the coal store, where it is used in the boiler house (for generating steam for pumping purposes. The time occupied by the sldp in travelling from coal tip to coal store is two minutes. At this end, and on a level with the motors, a sentry -box is hewn out of the rock, where the man who controls the gear- ing for hoisting the skin is housed, and has practically a full view of all three operations.

The following story. was told to Sir Charles Dilke by the great German himself. During a visit to London Bismarck was invited to inspect a famous brewery, and, in acknowledg- ment of his reputation for beer drinking, an enormous tankard of old ale was set before him. "I seized the tankard," said the Iron Chancellor, "and. I thought of my country and drank to Prussia, and tilted it till it was empty.

Home of the Carmelites in Mexico. Is Now a Mass of Debris, The suburban town of San Angel, at the base of the foothills, three-quarters of an hour from the capital by electric car, is every yearabeeonring more tash- ionable as a 'summer resort, and every year, as modern conveniences and bet- ter houses are provided in the outlying districts, more people take up their per- manent abode there. To the casual visitor to San Angel the most interesting feature is the hand- some old church of Nuestra Senora del Carmen. Its triple domes, wale their tiles shining 'brightly in the sunlight, are the fust objects that arrest the at- tention of strangers approaching the town.. Its Carmelite bell tower, or canpanario, is distinctive, and the edi- fice is one of the handsomest ecclesias- tical monuments in all Mexico. It was dedicated to the worship of God in 1617, or three years before the pilgrim fathers of New England landed on Plymouth rock. The interior is handsomely de- corated and contains some notable paint- ings by the famous Mexican artist Ca- brera. Pious women have adorned the chapel of our lady, evhich is one of the features of this ancient church, and the magnificent Churrigueresque ornamenta- tion of the northern transept is a spien• did specimen of this most distinctive Spanish mode of decoration. Beneath this transept rest in their eternal sleep forty-five 4.merican soldiers, who were killed or died of disease during the war of the North American invasion, ween the adjoining monastery of the Carmel- ite fathers was converted into a mili- tary hospital and barracks, the good fa- ther nursing the wounded Americans with such Christian devotion and good- will that when the troops evacuated San Angel monks and soldiers fell on one another's necks and wept. Janvier speaks of San .Angel's church as follows : "In the year 1613, Don Felipe de Guz- man, a pious `cacique' of Chimalistio, in fulfilment of his father's testament,gave up to the Carmelite order a huerta of considerable size. Here the Carmelite built a little hospice. Don Filepe de Guzman presently died, and a little later died also his widow, childless. By her will the entire estate of which she pos- sessed passed to the Carmelite fathers, and by these it was devoted to the build- ing of the existing monastery and the church. The plans for these buildings were prepared by the celebrated archi- tect Fray Andrs de San Miguel, a lay brother of the Carmelite order, and at that time held to be the first architect of New Spain. That this reputation was well merited is shown by the beauty of his still existing work. The build- ing was begun June 20, 1615, and was pushed with so much vigor that the church and convent were finished with- in two years. The church was dedi- cated to San Angelo Martir,whence came the name of the little town that pres- ently grew up around it. -Modern Mex- ico. Excused His Inexperience. (Lippincott's Magazine.) A small boy, aged 5, had a stepmother who was young and nervous. She had never had experience with children, and the small boy's slightest ailment tortur- ed her into a panic. Croup threatened one day, and the doctor was eat for in wild haste. As the doctor entered the room the child raised his head from his pillow and croaked hoarsely, in apology for the hasty sum- mons : "You must excuse her, doctor, this is the first time she has ever been a mo- ther."

Parry, who has been re- elected President of the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers, was talking in Pittsburg about profits. "Profits are legitimate," he said. "The buyer expects the seller to make a profit. Therefore it is no less unwise than dishonest to pretend always to be selling below cost. Mr. Parry smiled. "I am reminded of an experience of one of my clerks," he said. "This clerk always bought his working clothes at a little shop on a side street. He visited the shop one morning to get an office coat, and the dealer asserted that all the coats he brought out were bargains. "No matter what garment you take, sir," said the man, "I will lose money on the sale," "'But you always tell me that,' the clerk objected. `If you always lose money, how do you manage to live?' "'Well, you see,' said the dealer, ' I make a small profit on the paper and string,'" BURDENSOME RESPONSIBILITY. The new office boy stood beside his employer's desk, waitingfor orders. The employer, who was new to office boys, timed with a smile of kindly discipline.

By invitation he ocupied a pulpit in the town where he was working. Next morning an old shoe- maker, a thoughtful and earnest man, saw him going to work. "I heard thee preach, Bob," said the old man, "and I doan't think thou'lt ever make the preacher we want 'ere. Thou wants to reason ower much, and that will never do. We want our preachers to preach from the heart, not from the head; to say 'Thus saith the Lord,' and be sure about that. Thy preaching may do for some folks, but it winnat do for us."

A recent experience of the London fire department may prove of interest to Hamiltonians, as showing the possible future requirements of the department. The London fire department responded to the alarm and quickly flooded the place, making matters worse, not only for the sub-statian, but for the power station as well. To meet such emer- gencies E. Kilburn Scott says: "It looks as though special fire engines are re- quired, which would throw a jet of sand in place of water." He suggests that it might be advantageous to have a large tank of sand on the roof above the switchboard, with a flexible hose, so that the sand could be instantly turned on to a short circuit. Another point consider- ed is the dense and suffocating smoke given off by many kinds of insulation when set on fire. This is particularly the case with rubber, and seems as though it would be better to use only bore wire for switchboard connection, or, at least, to adopt some kind of insulation evhich would be less objectionable than rubber. The same point is made against the use of linoleum or rubber mats covering the floor of the switchboard gallery. If insu- Iation is necessary the floor should be.of glass or slate.

A recent issue of a monthly publica- tion entirely devoted to literature con- tains the portraits of three famous mo- thers, that is, of three women made famous by their sons. These are Mrs. Carlyle, Mrs. Hardy, and Mrs. Spencer. It is curious, says the Ladies' Pictorial, that there is almost more interest attach- ing to the mothers of men of distinction than to their sires, even if they have been men of some mark. It is said that most men who achieve greatness inherit their ability from their mothers, and it is noteworthy that nearly all distinguished men have been greatly attached -Co their mothers.
