The Synod, of Toont.o resumed its
cession Oa Thursday morning.
The committee of the Church of
England Temperance Society sent a
meutoriel impressing on the Synod
• the urgent necessity of the church's
Using its influence towards lessening
the number of liquor licenses ill the
city. The society was glad to notice
that the number of arrests for
druukennees was gradually decreas•
ing.
Dr. Langtry told the Synod that
its manifest duties was to unite with
other denominations in fighting the
liquor Waffle. "Open gates of hell,"
was what Dr. Langtry called saloons.
E. S. Spence wrote on behalf of
the Dominion Alliance asking the
Synod to appoint four delegates to
the committee of the Alliance. Coin
siderable discussion took plaice on
the question. His Lordship thought
last year's action with regard to a
like communication should be re-
• peated this year. On that occasion
the Synod replied to the Dominion
Alliance thet the Church of England
Temperance Society had full control
of the church's temperance affairs.
Professor Clarke made a rather
hot speech against the proposal to
communicate with the Alliance.
"These people," st.i 1 the eloquent
professor of Trinity, "have as the
foundation stone of their creed total
prohibition. The prohibition fanat-
ics, I ani quite convinced, leave done
more to injure the cause of true
Temperance than arty other people.
They got the Scott Act passed and
everybody mews that the result of
that act was something awful. The
selling of liquor in low della was at
a premium. I think we should not
in any manner ally ouraelyes with
them. They have deliberately in'
suited men on public platforms, and
have proved themselves nothing 'out
unreasoning fanatics."
On motion of Dr. Langtry it was
decided that the Synod decline to
send the four delegates, and the sec
retary was instructed to write the
secretary of the Alliance stating
that.the matter had been left to the
Church of England Temperance
Society

Way to Ventilate:—Fleetrieity in Train

Eight persons out of ten will endeavor to
rid a room of its noxious gases by making
an outlet for the air near the top of the in-
closed space. The result is that the mem is
cooled, but the impurities remain practically
where they were. The reason is this: As
the air of a root. is heated it rises, but the
impure gases, being generally heavier than
ordinary air, settle to the bottom of the
room. A great amount of harry has been
done, In schoolrooms particularly, by low-
ering the upper sashes in windows, thus
causing cold drafts upon the overheated
heads of the pupils. A room is best venti-
lated when the heavy and impure air is drawn
gradually away from the lower part of the
room through an opening into a chimney, the
heated walls of which cause an upward our -
rout. An open fireplace is thus one of the
best ventilators known. When this is not
condbnient, an opening covered by a grate
should be made in the chimney near the
poor. Low rooms frequently become so
overheated as to require an outlet near the
top, but this should be used simply to cool
the room, not to ventilate it. Iu-close build-
ings occupied by animals, ventilation can be
secured by a close shaft six or more niches
squareaccording to the size of the room,
extending from within about twelve inches of
the floor up through the roof of the building.
The wind blowing across the top of this will
cause an upward current, which will draw off
the impure air.
Interesting experiments can be made by
testing the effectiveness of various kinds of
ventilation. Let the doors of a room be
closed to keep out drafts; then with deli-
cate tissue paper cut in long strips and held
by one end, or with a lighted caudle, note
the' outward current of air through an open-
ing near the floor into a heated chimney, or
from the room into an open fire, Note also
the outward current of the upper air when a
window is lowered, and at the same time
the downward rush of cold air to the floor
near the window. If a sleeping room has
been closed all night, as too many sleeping
rooms are, go out into the pure air for fifteen
minutes; then go back into the closed room
and note the unpleasant change. The first
seeds of disease are too often sown in unven-
tilated bedrooms.
ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY.
Some of the New Things Both In Fact and
Theory.
The first electric cable ill London was laid
on February 3.
At the present time there are twenty-six
and one-half miles of electric railways in
actual operation in the United Kingdom,
The expenses of the municipal electric
lighting plant in Paris last year were 869,-
057.86 and the receipts during the same
period were 889,152.89.
The German Government has reduced
the tariff for inland telegrams from 1 cent
and 4 .tills per word to a cent and 2 .rills,
with a minimum charge of 10 cents,
The municipal authorities of Berlin have
decickd that no more concessions shall be
granted for elevated electric street railways
or for electric railways requiting overhead
conductors.
In the ordinary Morse method of tele-
graphy the average duration of the

the
Wheatstone automatic instrtnnen1, when
transmitting at the rate of 00 word, per min-
ute, 33,000 currents are sent per minute or
560 per second, giving to each a duration of
.0018 second.
F,lectn7city in Train Service.
Electricity for passenger service, steam for
freight trains. That, so some good authori-
ties declare, will be the apportionment of
the rival energies on the railroad of the fu-
ture. Steam at high speed requires quanti-
ties of coal and water, tbus largely increas-
ing the weight to be carried, while tine wear
and tear of the generating a11!,a:attts is
thought to bo almost doubled wheu continu-
ously forced. With electricity ou the other
hand, it is quite otherwise. The faster you go
the greater is the economy over steam. in-
deed, utile speed increases, the relati vo value
of electric propulsion inc-eases enormous-
ly, an expert before a recent tneet ing of the
Institute of Electrical Engiueere declaring
that at 120 miles an hour it is something like
six times economical than steam. "If," said
he, "you can get 90 per cent efficiency nit of
your electric service and have a frequent
service at 20 miles an hour, electric propul-
sion is even then slightly more economical
than steam propulsion." One of the roost
known electric motor manufacture, s recent-
ly declared it to be his belief that in the
future express trains between poled. us cen-
tres like New York and Philadelpl,in would
consist of two electric cars, to be toried
every ten minutes, and runuhrg at a speed
of a mile a minute.

just eight mouths ago. He died without a
word and without the faintest sign of fear.
Ho made no confession. Exactly five min
utes from the time the hangman pinioned
his arms he was out of the world. The
prisoner passed a quiet night. Father
Berube was with him till midnight, The
priest was assisted in his ministrations by
two Grey nuns from Ottawa. Au altar had,
by special permit, been built in the corridor,
and the many tapers burning on it cast a
weird light and made the scene one not soon
to be forgotten. The low chanting of the
mass was most impressive. Just at sniduight
the priest and nuns retired, and Laroque,
who bad appeared much affected by the
service, was left to his own reflections, but
not for long, as the turnkey soon appeared
with razor and shaving material, and the
prisoner was soon under its keen edge for
the last time. At first he was allowed to
shave himself, but after the sentence was
passed; that privilege was taken from him.
After the shaving the prisoner was put into
his cell for the remainder of the night. He
lay down leaving on his trousers, and in a
few minutes was asleep and apparently
resting quietly. He continued this way till
five o'clock in the morning, when he awoke
and walked slowly up and down his
cell. He had not been awake long
before the priest was again with him
and the solemn religious ceremony was re-
commenced. This was kept up till 7
o'clock. The roligeuses then retired to al-
low the prisoner to partake of his last
meal, of bread, cold ham and tea. He par-
took sparingly. At 7:t0 Father Berube and
the nuns returned and the final rites were
commenced. The prisoner knelt beside the
priest, his head bowed and his eyes filled with
tears, but he showed no sign of fear. At five
minutes to eight the sheriff warned the
priest to prepare and five minutes later, ex-
actly et eight, Hangman Radcliffe entered
the cell carrying in his hand the strap to
pinion the prisoner's arms. Laroque who
was watching the door nodded c ravely to
hien, at the seine time casting a quick glance
over him. He then lot his eyes fall to the
ground. At a signal from the sheriff Rad
elate pinioued the prisoner's arms. Laro-
que was most submissive and even helped
in the adjustment of the strap. The priest
spoke a few words in French to the pris-
oner, at the same time placing a crucifix
in his hand. Another signal and the death
march to the gallows began. The sheriff
walked first, followed by Jailor Cameron
and the turnkey. Then came Loroquo,
with Father Berube on the loft and the
hangman ou tho right. The procession
was slow and solemn. The condemned man
kept his eyes on the ground, but showed
no sign of weakening. The priest read
prayers is a low tone as they walked to-
wards the gallows, which was composed like
Birchall's of two upright poles and a cross
piece, with a 360 1b. weight at the side, the
prisoner being raised into the air instead of
dropping. Laroque took his place without
a word and without any show of nervousness.
No time was lost. As soon as he was in po-
sition the priest began the Lard's prayer in
French and Radcliffe placed the noose over
his head and then drew on the block cap.
Even at this terrible ordeal, when all the
world was shut from him, the prisrner kept
up his wonderful nerve. Not a muscle of
his face moved, nor was there a sign in
any of his limbs that tho ordeal was
telling upon him. He met death in the
same cold blooded manner he had Inflicted it
upon his youthful victims, As the priest
reached the words in the Lord's prayer, "Thy
will be done," Radcliffe lot go the rope that
hold the big weight and it fell with it sicken-
ing thud and the next second the body was
flung into the air. The struggle was not long,
the .writhing lasting only a few seconds and
then all was still. Death resulted from
strangulation, the prisoner's Berk being too
thick set to break. The crowd, many of
whom had never seen an execution, were
greatly affected.

An action was inaugurated the other day
at Oegoode Hall, Toronto, which promises to
disclose quite a ,equence of sensational events.
The plaintiff is Mr ' Thomas A. Blackmore,
who is suing John Roads for 85,000 damages
for alienating the affections of Mrs. Black-
more. Mr. Blackmore has also inserted a
count in his suit against Roads charging Mrs.
Blackmore with criminal conversation and
relations with Roads. All the parties t, the
case reside in Toronto. The allegations of
the plaintiff not having been made records of
the court yet, cannot in fairness to the two
defendants be published. Unless in the mean-
time a settlement is reached, the action will
probably Ire heard at the approaching assizes.
It ie understood that both the accused parties
will vigorously defend the action, and the air
of the ccurt will be darkened by many charges

The baccarat trial has occupied the public
attention in England, and indeed the world,
for the past week, Briefly, the scandal is
that Sir William Gordon Cumming is charg-
ed with having cheated at cards at the house
of Mrs, Wilson, of Tanby Croft. The case is
made most interesting from the fact that the
Prince of Wales was a witness. The evidence
is all ip and the distinguished counsel have
made their addresses. At the time of writing
things look badly for Sir William, and it
begins to look as if be was exceedingly fool-
ish in not accepting the offer made him be-
fore the trial that he should quietly with-

Seeing and Observing.
On a fine summer evening two boys were
walking along a country road. Oue of then,
Walter, was the son of the clergyman of the
village. Frederick's father was a wealthy
farmer. They were particular friends, and
were often found in each other's company.
It was bright moonlight, and the shadows of
the trees were sharply distinct on the ground.
"How bright the moon is!" said Frederick,
standing still to look at it. "And how round!
It looks like a ball."
"Yes," assented Walter. "How large do
you think the moon isFred?" Walter was a
little inclined to be priggish,
"I—don't—know," replied Frederick. He
had never thought about it. "I should think
it must be about as large—as a good-sized
milk pan!"
"Hal ha! hal laughed Walter. A milk -
pan indeed! Why, Fred its as big as the
whole United States."
"Nonsense! I don't believe it," declared
Frederick stoutly. "It couldn't be. Who
told you sot"
"Father told hie. That is, he said so is A
lecture be gave the other day. A mi!k-pnn!"
"I don't believe it,'t repeated Y'rderick,
"I didn't know you were so ignorant, Fred-
erick," returned Walter.
"How dare you—"
•
Frederick was just on the point of flying
into a rage, when, looking down the road, he
happened to see Harold walking toward
thein:
Harold was no older than either of the
other boys. He had not been at school any
longer. His father had little tinie to give
him lectures on astronomy, but he had taught
Harold to observe and remember what he
saw.
"Harold," called Frederick, "Walter is
trying to make me believe one of his wonder-
ful
onderful yarns."
"What's the trouble?" asked Harriet.
"Why," said Frederick, who by this time
had got within talking distance, " he says
that the rnooi is as big as the whole United
States. Did you ever hear such a ri,liculous
fish -story?"
Harold looked at the .norm a animate be-
fore he answered. "flow big do you say it
is, Fred?"
"Why, I should think it was as big as a
very largo milk -pan. Well"—seeing Harold
smile—"perhaps a little bigger. But the
whole United States! Ridiculous!" He look-
ed contemptuously at Walter, who only
laughed.
"Well," began Harold, -lowly, "I don't
know just how big the mcon really is, but it
must be a great deal bigger than you think,
Frederick. The spire of our church is forty
feet high; that is the width of my father's
house; and see how small it looks, just be-
cause it is so far up in the air. Now, the
moon is a very long way off, Fred, so it must
be at any rate a great deal larger than this
town—perhaps twice as big; it must be at
least that."
Harold spoke timidly. He did not posi-
tively know anything about the moon, and
only compared it with other things, as he
was in the habit of doing.
Both the other boys laughed and jeered at
hinr. Walter was amused because Harold
thought it so small, and Fredrick shouted
because Harold thought it so big; and they
were both so touch entertnim•d with Harold's
silliness that they made up their quarrel and
went home together.
As for Herold, he hastily resolved to find
out just how large the .neon really was be-
fore be was a day older. But which of the
three boys showed the most intelligence.—

"In the spring of 1884 I began to be troubled
with Dyspepsia, which gradually became
more and more distressing. I used various
domestic remedies, and applied to my phy-

my trouble assumed the form of Dropsy. I
was unable to use any food whatever, except
boiled milk and bread ; my limbs were swol-

my recovery were given up, and I quite ex-
pected death within a few weeks. NORTHROP

been recommended to me, I tried a bottle
with but little hope of relief ; and now, after
using eight bottles, my Dyspepsia and Dropsy
