Science is unmasking everything that used to be mysterious.

Irish Rank First. Of all the peoples of Kurope, the French | have the fewest children and the Irish the most. The average French family num- bers 3.3 persone, and the average Irish family 5.2. In England the average is 4.8. Poverty of English Clergy. The Bishop of Londun recently referred to the poverty of the English clergy, and especially of those serving in country places. To say nothing of curates, there were 1500 clergyvmen whose livings were under $250 a year, and there were 7000 |livings with less than $775 annual incomie. Franee's Big Bread Loaves.

It was but the other day in a Bos-| ton courtroom that the impossibility | of conicealing anything was demon- | strated by the introduction of a phono- | graph, a photometer and am oscillo- | meter. An elevated road was sued for dam-| ages owing to the annovance caused 1% passing trains. The phonograph re- produced the noise, a photometer showed the diminution of light while the trains passed, and the oscillometer discovered the frenzled air waves. The jury—a Boston jury—promptly .and appreciative brought in a ver- dict of $45,000 with Interest, making a total of $58,267.

If this be so then by all means let us have the boiler factories and the high buildings in place of cathedrals and synagogues. There is always the fas- cinating possibility that we may be wrong. Some of the profoundest com- clusions reached in the past bave turned out to be merely profound mis- takes. Dead sure things have a way of going wrong. Everything is uncertaiy but machinery that proves itself each time the wheels go round. Sometimes a belt slips and a careless workman loses a finger or maybe goes entirely into the vat, but he comes out at the other end as Aunt Jemima's snow flake lard or Slicem’s blue. and nobedy ever | knows the difference. This Is what comes of having a system. So do these wonderful. almost in- spired cogs and levers work, unham- ! pered by human ills or accidents.
