premature announcements of success have been made in past years, and to we must not place too much dependence on the claim of a German chemist, of which we are told in Cosmos (Paris). Bays this journal:
There is an economic law that may be considered as absolute; namely, that the first thing to do is to take account of modern stock. From this comes the heathe industrial tendency to utilize all by products as much as possible. To pro pose to distil coal, for instance, merely to get illumine ting gas, would now be very properly considered beresy. Coke, on the one hand, and tar on the other, are products whose sale is remunerative. * * * From the latter, chemistry has learned bow to oxtract brilliant colours that give the most dazzling hues to fabrics, and also those

read the messages of every system of wire- :
less telegraphy in uge.
The news will be of special interest to foreign governments, for if it be true that the United States army receivers can inter- cept the messages sant by every wireless telegraph system in use, wireless telegraphy as a method of secret communication, should trouble over arise between that country and any foreign foe, would be of no advantage to an enemy of the h ited Stales.
It was while discursing a report that Commander Peary, when he started on his latest dash for the North Pole, had taken along a wireless, te'egraph apparatus that would keep him in communication with the rest of the world, and that the government had no station equipped with the вате apparatus at which
to receive the messages, that: General Greely let it be known that the army had invented a type of wireless receiver that will enable it to receive wireless moesages transmitted by any system.
"The new army receivers," said General Greely, invented by the signal corps,. intercept and record the messages of all known systems."
Asked for further explanation of the invention, General Greely dismissed his interviewer with the ststement:
The signal corps service is absolutely secrot, and will remain so."
An idea of the effect this invention will have on wireless telegraphy may be gather- ed from fact that at the present time the United States navy uses three systems of wireless telegraphy, the Fessenden, the Arco-Slaby and the De Forest. Inter-' communication between the vessels and the navy yards using three systems has been impossible.

would be ineffectual without a knowledge of the true principles which would promote these degidorata, which could be found only in the Christian Scriptures. Mr J. Dyer Ball also gave an interesting address on the advantages of knowing Christian books and tracte.
