PETER'S TRUE TESTIMONY.
He asked his disciples. 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

Bovine Tuberculosis
Farmers are u'Ped to take advant-
age of the provisions made by the
Dominion Government, to have their
cattle tested for • tuberculosis. Each ;f
municipality,' by a petition signer by
two-thirds of the cattle owners there-
in, niay have a veterinary test. their
herds for tuberculosis, and .all animals
found infested will 'be shipped away,
and the proceeds -given to the owner,
together with a bonus 2if $40 per
head for cattle aril up to .$100 for I
purebred animals. This would effect-
ively eradicate tuberculosis from Ebel
restricted areas thus formed, with
little or no loss to, tilt owner's of the

• "Spot" Is Clever.
"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

combustion chamber hien decarbon-
izing time conies, will learn with mix-
ed feelings of cylinders which a full-
grown roan can .enter merely by re-
moving tilt exhaust or inlet valve.
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.

For a long time it has been con-
sidered by counsel engaged in crim-
inal defence that the right of the

unjustifiable handicap, and the gen-
