However, the character of the uni versity so plain and clear that there can be no possible misapprehen gion. The university is a purely Christian institution, as gnuch as a church is a Christian institution, or a synagogue a Jewish institation, "The fact that persons not professing Christianity will be admitted there, both as students and as professors, does not change the character of the persons who seek admission and en- trance thereto, inasmuth as the part is always absorbed by the whole.

Owing to the foree of publie opinion which certainly against the estab- lishment of any test oath in a univer sity, the promoters of the bill decided to amend clause 19, thereby striking out the provisions requiring the test oath, only requiring that the profess ors of the university should be gentle men of Christinn character, and that the university shall continue distinct ly Christian. By doing so, aud by declaring pub- liely that the words "Christian chard acter" did not necessarily mean a be lief in Christianity, they hoped to placate publie opinion. This amendment we week, and declared that it unac- ceptable to us and that so long as any religious qualification was attach. ed to the university, we objected to it being enlled a national university. The amendment madé by the promo ters of the bill was accepted by par: liament without, however, repealing the previous amendments made.

But, desiring also to retain in their own power, the character, man- agement and teaching of the univer sity, they inserted clause 20 in their bill, 'which provided that a test oath shall be required of all its officials, namely, that they must believe in Ghristianity, that they must be Chris tians. or the Hie 18 we the Hse ------------------ +, The Most Popular Yeast. < lan't the fact that White Swan Yeast Cakes have won admiration wherever tried proot that they are the best ?

The crack battleship cruiser Moltke, of the German navy, is out for the transatinntic record, She will sail for New York in May with high hopes of crossing in something like thrbe days The present record westbound is four duys ten hours and forty-one min utes, when the average speed was 36.06 knots san hour. The Moltke in her trial run has made twenty-nine and a half knots. This was done un- der favorable conditions for a com- paratively short . run, but it seems very probable that a new record well under the old one will be hung up The Moltke 42 590 feet in length and has a normal displacement of 21,800 tons. It is significant that while bat tleships are being built faster vear by year, the tendency is to build liners longer and more luxurious than be fore, but with a moderate speed. The new ships are more comfortable than the speedier boats. The SS. lnpera- tor, of the Hamburg American line, the largest boat in the world, which is to be launched in May, will have an average speed' of twenty-two and a half knots per hour.

The new system of wireless safety signals is expected to absohutely sate guard the most dangerous coasts. It has been announced that a number of lighthouses are to be equipped with wireless apparatus which would give warning 10 a ship hundreds of miles distant. According to recent state ments, a new wireless wave is to be used exclusively in this work, which will give the receiver the sense of di- vection. The ship's oflicer far out at sea in 'the midst of a blinding storm or fog, will thus have several fixed pointe, and by a simple method of triangulation will beable to fix his location at any time. The wireless compass will prove accurate no matter how many lighthouses or wireless sta- tions are sending. It would also en able ships to locate one another, and do away with the danger of collision I'he fog-horns, "mcidently, would be abolished. The Case of Mr. Gamey.
