Sunday morning as the choir entered the church each member wore aixed to his eurplice a small black badge in `memor of their late talented choir master to whom they owed so much. On the book ledge. facing his now vacant eeat. rested a lovely floral cross. At both the services the Dead March was played with great feeling and effect by his intimate friend, the organist, ullhe choir and many in the congrega- tion rovcrently standing during the run- dering. The Sunday having been up pointed as the day for the annual collec- tion on behalf of dioce-an missions, in the morning the Rev. F. W. Armstrong, Tren- ton. set forth in very clear and concise terms the claims of the missions upon the more generous support of the church peo- ple throughout the diocese, and gave a ver interesting report of work in the Nort) Hastings district, which he had very re- cently visited.

He was in fun: offered $10,000 to act. for a year as a counsel. This cil'er was promptly re- jected. The mayor has been led, he says, to make this expose not only on account of the strictures of the press upon the council forica failure to assist the Great. Northern railway but also of alleged action of certain parties in falsely declaring that his wor.-hip had been inuenced in his ac- tion by the Canadian Pacic railway. I uumu uxperienueu. The railway man felt so certain that it was hard cash that was wanted to get through the council a by-law for authoriz- ing an exchange of bonds with the (lreat Northern railway that he deposited $l2,- UUU with a banker then doing business here. but now in Montreal. The money was for the purpose of iulluencing the ac- tion of the council. The game did not work, however, and then came demands or the return of money. At first our friend, the bankenwas unubleto produce the cash. Then he ocred $7,000 in settlement for the transaction, claiming that 83,000 had been paid out through a prominent politi- cal lawyer. This left $2,000 to be still ac- counted for and when it was insisted that this must also be paid he was met by the reply that unless the amount offered was accepted an accusation would he laid against him for attempted bribery.

To evaporate water enough yearly from the ocean to cover the earth, on the aver- ugo, 5 feet deep with precipitation, to transport it from one zone to another. to muse it to fall in the right places, at suit- able times and in the proportions due, is one of the ofileea of the grand atmospher- ical niach`in'i. Thiawnter is evaporated principally from tho torrid zone. Suppos- ing it all to come thenro, we shall have, encircling the earth, a belt of ocean 3.000 miles in breadth, from which this atmos- phere evaporates a layer of water annually lli feet in depth. To heist up as high as the clouds and lowx-r down again all the water in a lake 16 feet deep, 8.000 miles broad and 24,000 miles long is the yearly business of this invisible machinery. What a powerful engine is the atmosphere! How nicely adjusted must be all the cogs, wheels. springs and compensation: of thin exqnlsiw piece of machinery that it never wears out or breaks down or fails to do no work at the right time and in the right yvay!
