The Iaundresscs of London, Eng, sup- ported by numerous trades societies. aggre- gating 80,000 persons, held 21. demonsu‘ution in Hyde Park yesterday. They mnrched to the music of bands, many of them carry- ing banners, and they pmsonted a. curious Spectacle. John Burns and all the ladies’ leadex‘s spoke in favor of the workday of eight hours, and Louise Micth inafi‘angucd the crowJ from the somalist pL'M/fOI‘fl].

A Writer in the Drainage Journal claims that the tiled drain renders a very great ser- vice to the land, not only by draining it of surplus water, but also by aerating it ; that is, forcing; the air through it. This writer says that this prooess is going on in both winter and summer, if the outlet of the drain is not submerged. In the winter the air passes in at the outlet of the drain, and being warmed by the earth to a higher tem« perature than the outside atmosphere, ex» panda and forces its way upward through the soil toward the surface. In the summer the reverse is the case. The air above the surface of the ground being warm and the air in the drain being cool, the latter naturally flows down and out of the mouth of the drain, while the warm air from above passes down through the eoil into the drain. When it.is remembered that the nitrifying organisms in the soil need an abundance of air to perform their work, it will be readily undor§tood how serviceable a drain of any him}, ix'q‘gy'litly constructed, really is.

Some one cried out to burn me and a, pile of fagots was arranged for my benefit, but, be- fore it was lit; sympathy from some source was found for me, and the Wood was not set on fire. So weak and holiness had I become that when the bell rang at 9 o’clock for the people to go inside the town I was left for dead.

John Amer, Eishop of the Shzmtun diSLrict, in northern China, sailed the 0 er day for the Orient. The Bishop is in charge of twenty~one mission- aries in his diocese. He is returning to China, after an important mission to Ger- many, where Emperor \Villimu heard his statement. of affairs in.his district and this plea. for the protection by Germany of the Catholic missionaries in the Shantqu dis- trict. The Bishop is about 50 years of age, ofmcdinm stature, heavy build, and with an unmistakable Oriental air about him. “ While travelling from village to village in the Shantqu district I preached one after- noon in a place of fully 1,000 people. While conducting the services 1 was roughly Seized by four big Chinese and borne to a, place outside the gates of the town. A large crowd followed my captors. When a. spot was reached that suited them they put me down. The leader of the party informed me that the people in his town wanted me to pro- mise that I would go away and preach no more. The man said that Shentung was the birthplace of Confucius and was the Holy Land of China, and that no missionaries were wanted‘ HER“: EXP B17 II]? “Ant. Between the ages of fifteen and fortyfive.

American Desert Scenes which were truly heartrending were witnessed in Bale today, when the bodies ofa large number of the victims of the Moenchestein Railroad disaster were brought there from the place where the accident occurred by sorrowingrelatives who had gone in search of missing husbands, fathers or brothers, Wives, mothers or sisters, as the case might be, for representatives of the majority of the best families of Bale left there to attend the musical. festival. \Vives brought home the bodies of their husbands, and husbands brought home the bodies of their wives and children. Several families were practically wiped out of axis nice by the disaster, the full extent of which is not known even at this time. Bale is now a city of mourning, a place of the dead and a scene of bitter desolation. Nearly every family in the city may be said to have been touched by the calamity, for those families who have not actually lost one of their ‘ members have dear friends or oral :aintances either among the dead or among those who are mourning the loss of relatives. Those who are not afflicted in the manner describ~ ed are either nursing wounded relatives or sympathising with those who have friends among the wounded. The latter include so many serious injuries that each hour records another death and another case in which the physicians give up all hope of saving the potion t’s life. Everything that thclocal and municipal authorities can do to help the wounded, recover the dead or assist those who have been plunged, into distress by the fearful wreck, is being done. Clergymen, priests and physicians, a large force of troops and firemen, and scores of vehicles and ain- bulances have been despatched to the scene of the disaster. The troops and firemen are busily engaged in removing the wreckage, ‘ recovering the bodies of the dead and trans- 1 porting the Wounded to their homes in Bale ‘ or to the hospital. The physicians and ministers of all denominations are doing, noble work in ministering to the wounded and in comforting the bereaved. The neighborhood of the collapsed bridge resembles in many features the after epi- sodes of a battle. Especially was this the case during the night, when the river banks were illuminated by huge fires built up of fir trees. The troops and firemen work unceas- ingly, dragging the river for the dead, and keep a cordon around the spots where it was not advisable to admitthc crowd of people flocking aboutthe broken bridge from every village in the canton for the dreadful news. The total number of persons who lost their livesby thcdisasteris now placed at 120, with hundreds more or less injured.

Further details of the accident on the Moenchenstein & Bale Railrowl, Switzein land, show that two engines anal Lln'ee citr- riages loaded with CXCHI‘SiOniSLS fell into the stream which flowed beneath the iron bridge, which gave way and caused the disaster. These carriages and engines now form it shapeless heap of wreckage beneath the bridge, and by its own size prevented two other carriages, which were suspended pine tically in the air from falling and still fur- ther increasing the number of killed and wounded. Eighty excursionists are known to have been drowned, though many of the bodies have not been recovered yet. Of the large number of persons injured many have sulfnrcd so seriously that it is considered likely their injuries will terminate fatally, as they consist of bad lacerations and in some (uses limbs have been completely severed.
