sent domestic upheaval, will be redoubled.

Due to the recent friction between the government and reservists and the trouble incident to an extensive strike, St. Peters burg is practically under martial law.

LATER. The astounding announcement has been made that the aristocratic officer's battery, many of whom are closely related to the royal family, fired the shot that was pre-

pared for the purpose of assassinating the Taar and the entire royal family.

The officers of the battery are under nominal arrest but their standing and well- known loyalty to the Government is taken as conclusive evidence that they have no quilty knowledge of the reckless and daring attempt on the Emperor's life.

The theory is that the non-commissioned officer and two privates who handled the cartridge and loaded the gun are directly responsible, as it would be impossible to mistake a blank cartridge for one with the regulation charge, even under the most or- traordinary circumstances. It is the pre- sumption that these men were simply the tools of Nihilists and were willing to sacrifice their lives as a consideration toward se complishing the death of the Tear or some member of the royal family.

REVIVALISTS IN WALES.

Service in a Coal Mine.

In the varied history of Wales thero has, probably, never been held such a meeting as I have just had the pleasure of attending writes a Standard correspondent in Cardiff. Hearing of an open-air service at two o'clock in the morning I, in company with two ministerial friends, proceeded to a colliery four miles away. Having previous- ly obtained permission from the manager, we were permitted to descend the shaft, lamps in hand. At five o'clock we had gone about a quarter of a mile into the workings when we heard the voices of men approaching us as thoy sang revival hymns. Nearer and nearer drew the flickering lamps, and soon scores of mèn tired with the toil of a ten-hours' shift, had assembled at one of the partinge.

The overman who was our guide imme- diately struck up, 'Here is love like mighty oceans,' in Welsh, and soon the mine re- sounded with the soul-stirring music. With- out invitation, an old man falls on his knees In prayor, and in an instant all heade ore uncovered, and the colliers are kneeling Hardly has he finished when another song of joy makes the pit ring afresh. Again and again is the refrain repeated, and the re- verberating melody attracts numbers of men' from all parts of the workings. Prayer af- ter prayer was offered, song after song sung, and some of the colliers shed tears of joy

Now then, boys, those of you who love Christ, up with your lamps,' cried one of the men, and immediately numbers of yellow lights glimmer in the air. Those of the mon who did not raise their lamps aloft are spoken to, and upon their signifying their conversion by lifting their safeties,' the coal begrimed tailors sent up to Heaven a mighty pan of praise. Thus it went on for an hour or more. The air was full of the Revival spirit, and, as we watched the colliers step into the iron cage to be hauled up, they bid us adion by singing their

Home they went favourite 'pen calfaria,' and, as they went, one could hear them singing as they trudged through the mud and slash in the inky darkness of the night, For some timu Cardiff has been on the qui vive of expectation, awaiting the approach of the Revival wave. At length it has come, and some of the sights which I have witnessed at a few of the wonderful meet. ing in the town I shall never forget. From the Tabernacle (Welsh Baptist Chapel) band of young men and women leave the mosting, scour the streets, and bring in outcast women, drunken men, and way- ward youths, Scores of Cardiff's 'sub- morged tenth may be seen nightly in the Tabernacle meetings, and numbers of singular conversions have happened. The revival spirit is now abroad at the docks, where sailors of all nationalities have be- The streets, usually the come converts, scono of boisterousness, and commotion, have bean transformed into peaceful thoroughfares, and the services for seamen are exceptionally well attended Into

Hannah-street Chapel, near the docks, a man rushed a night or two ago, and produced a great sensation. Although un-

der the influence of drink, he marched up to the front, fell on his knees, and cried

for mercy. Soon he, swooned away, and

was carried home. The congregation in

the same chapel was startled one evening by the confession of a man who said that

were it not for that service his body would then be in the dock, for he was on his way

to commit suicide, but was attracted by the music.

Meetings are held every morning in the, Jarge drapery establishments of the town, and the shop assistants take an active part in spreading the flame, not only amongst their fellow assistants, but also among the customers who frequent the The shops in which they are employed. shop life of the town is undergoing a com- plete change.

It seems sufficiently marvellous that aut instrament should be devised that can mechanically inscribe script at some 800 words a minute when the averago fast pen- man cannot write much more than 30 to 35 words a minute. The system is, of course, extremely technical, but can, perhaps, be roughly described as follows:-

The message to be transmitted over the wire is first prepared on a perforating ap- paratus. This apparatus is very much like an ordinary typewriter, and is operated at about the same speed. It converts the message into perforations on a strip of paper, resolving it into sets of components,

necessary for the reason that the electrical currents can only transmit single compon- ents. The holes are varied to correspond

vious hours have been spent in refreshing idleness. And then, in addition to tack- ling his work when the "more" fortunate of mankind are thinking of leaving off, he has to go on with it when the vitality of the human frame is at its lowest. In front is the immovable time-limit imposed by the necessity of going to press, and, however much thore may be to be done, done it must be by the fatal moment. Errors and omissions are not excused by the reader, who expects to be served not only with punctuality but with accuracy, There is no part of the trying task of making the paper for the public use and pleasure in the morning to which these conditions of strenuous effort carried out at high pressure do not equally apply. The deprivation in- flicted on the habitual reader and the pecuniary loss suffered by the proprietor would at least be counterbalanced by the very material gain of the journalist.

ANY so-called women's complaints can be traced to disorders of the liver, stomach and bowels. A woman's work is more or less sedentary; she does not get the fresh air, the exercise, or the regular hours of rest that a man does, so that the liver becomes sluggish, the system does not get the rest it needs, and there is not a regular motion of the bowels. Constipa tion is one of the greatest dangers a woman has to fear, and the longer it is neglected, the more deeply rooted it becomes.

The varying currents generate vibrations in the respective telephonic receivers, and the motions-vertical and horizontal res pectively are communicated to a single mirror, in such a manner that ona sot of components causes vertical movements of the mirror, and the other sot horizontal movements. A ray of light is directed on to the mirror from an incandescent electric lamp, and is inflected from the mirror through lenses, on to a slip-of sonsitized photographic paper. The two motions of the mirror are sufficient to form all the cha. racters of handwriting; but, of course, if made slowly the characters would be angular. But the mirror moves only to the extent of about, one hundredth part of a millimètre, while the exposure of paper is no more them the thousandth part of a second, so that the enormous rapidity of the currents and the movements make the characters practically round. So fast does the mirror move that, when the working parts were exposed, observers could barely discern more than a flash of light, but the sensitized paper showed the momentary flash resolved into a line of the plainest handwriting.

Its extreme quickness would seem to be the greatest hindrance to its general use-a The strange paradox in this rapid age. Hungarian authorities reported enthusias tically on the merits of the system, but complained that there were no two offices in the country which had between them a sufficient traffic to furnish enough work, even during a short time, to justify an iu stallation. The proprietors hope that in this country, which uses telegraphy on such a vast scale, and where newspapers send 52 per cent. of the telegraph messages of the whole Kingdon, a use may be found for their system.
