It was a ritical time, when He would make ing what he'had been taught by some other man', for men were not saying what he had just so strikingly and bravelysaid: But :niy. Father who is in heaven.' The Holy Spirit of God had'brbught this conviction to Peter's mind, as he always takes the things of Christ and declares them to men (John 16:14). ' And I also say unto thee. As Peter had given his estimate of Christ, Christ will give his estimate of Peter. That thou art Peter. Jesus usually called Peter by his name,. Simon; on this occasion he recurs to the name his disciples ready for the coming he had bestowed upon him prophetic ally when Andrew brought him to crucifixion; only six months ahead, and in preparation for this very con- Christ. versation he had been givinghimself, And upon this rock I will build my ,church.

Christ did not allow him to. go very far in this egoistis though affectionate folly. Saying, Be it far from thee, 'Lords Literally, "God pity •thee, that is, "God give tliee a better fate,"! This shall never be unto thee. It is plainly seen how necessary was the eOurse of instruc- tion on which Christ had embarked, for the disciples had no' other thou- ght of the Messiah.than that he was to inaugurate a great worldly king- dom, with giory to the Jews and de- feat to the Romans. ' But he turned, and, said unto Peter. Speaking laudly enough .so that all the disciples r heard. ` Thdu art a stumbling -block unto me.

"Spot" is only a rough -haired ter- rier, belonging to Mr. Albert. Dobson, of Wellington court, Kirstall road, Leeds, butso long as he is alive his master will never be short of a pipe of tobacco, for Spot can obtain, gra- tis, more of that fragrant weed in a day than a human cadger can get bold of in a week. Trotting beside his master, Spot, carrying his pipe at a rakish angle, will go into a tobacconist's shop, put his front' paws on the 'counter, ' look appealingly at the shopkeeper, said when his pipe has been filled will wag a "Thanks, very much" with his tail, and walk out. Spot is not often de- nied his 'baccy, but 1f his master, to test the dog's memory, tells him to go into a•shop where he (Spbt) has pre- viousy been "unluoky," the dog will refuse to budge, and look up at his owner with an expression on his face as much as to say, "Nothing doing." More-Detully Than Cannon. Dr. Leonard Hill; who is director pf applied physiology, National Insti- tute of Medical Research, Hampstead; said there was a toxin that could be employed to kill millions or men, when he was contrasting the power of the scientific laboratory with that of modern war machinery. "lf men are as susceptible as'guinea-pigs to the toxin, which shall be nameless -and there is every reason to think they are—it would appear 'that :otic salt - spoonful of this dry toxin would suf- fice to kill 1,000,000 men. The toxin acts if inhaled, or if it falls on the eye in a ; powder. If each as tokin were prepared and scattered from an airplane, what would be the use 'of the panoply of war?" Cattle • to.

The •iiew motor -vessel Britannic has twenty suoln cylinders and a few othere of lesser ;size for her auxiliary machinery. Some e idea of the size of the 'two "ten -cylinder, four-strolte, double- acting" engines—the largest of their type ever built * can be obtained from the statement that twelve of the largest motor cars could be parked on 'the space occupied by each bed plate.. , There is little power wastage aboard the Britannic. Even the ex- haust gases are made to yield their quota of work by passing through boilers and generatingsteam at 100 - pound , pressure: Unlike the motor car power unit, the4double-acting en gives also harness the compression on the underside as well as the top aide of, the• pistons. Another. difference is that the en- gines'' own compression, without any magneto spark, ignites the charge of vaporized crude 0i1. The engines are eooled by 13,000 tons of . fresh water circulating through the jackets and cylinder covers. The fresh water, in 'its turn, is, cooled by 16;000 tons of sea water, which has other minor cooling jobs to ,do before it is thrown back into the sea. In one day the twin engines of the Britannic will consume 80 tons of fuel oil, and so turn each propeller 140,000 times, . while each inlet, ex- haust and fuel valve will function 10,000 times and each piston cover a distance of 280 miles. Despite the size, each engine, with. its 185 -ton crankshaft .and corre- spondingly large connecting rods, crossheads and pistons, can be ma- noeuvred bycompressed air with the greatest of ease and can be reversed in nine seconds.-- Daily News and Westminster Gazette. CHAIN BRIDGE 'DEMOLISHED. • In Its Place Will Be Erected a Beau- tiful and Substantial Structure. 'The demolition of the old ' chain bridge at Lambeth is complete. In its 'place will stand a beautiful and sub- stantial - structure, stretching across the ,Thames between the Archbishop's Palace of Lambeth and the gardens west of the Houses of Parliament. The new bridge, designed by Sir Reginald _Blomfield, will be made of steel, with piers of Cornish granite. Its centre span will measure 1.65 feet, each intermediatespan149 feet, and each' approach span 1125 feet; and the width of the roadway will be, 60 feet. ' The work- will take three years, and the cost will be $2,750,000. There has been a crossing of the river at this point for thousands of years. The shallowness of the stream allowed for a Horse ferry, the only one permitted in London. The name, Horseferry road, is still used. The profits of the ferry went to the Arch- bishop of Canterbury. When West- minster Bridge was opened the, arch- bishop had to be conpensated for the 'loss of ferry' fees to the amount of $10,000, but the ferry, with sadly di- minished traffic, continued until 1862, when the Lambeth Bridge, now 0 being ,removed, seas built by Peter W. ,p Barlow.0 Queen Mary of Modena, wife of James II., crossed the ferry one dark achild, night with her' infant in her fiight to France. Shortlyafterwards, ds "� her royal husband, in Year of William of Orange, followed her, and threw the Great Seal of England . into the Thames as he went. It was retrieved . a few days afterward in a fisherman's net. CROWN'S LAST WORD. British Lav Officers Relinquish Tra- ditiotial. Right to Last Word. or .
