Safety Device for Preventing Col- lision at Sea. , Sir Hiram Maxim, inventor of those terrible agents of destruction, cordite, smokeless powder and the Maxim gun, has just invented a [safety device for preventing colliâ€" sions at sea. The tragic fate of the Titanic moved him to try, and he had reflected only four hours on the problem when' it occurred to him that ships could be provided with what might be called a, sixth sense, by which they could detect" large objects near at hand without the aid of a search-light. This sixth sense, which may be called an j“echo” sense, he knew to be peas- ‘seseed by bats. Just what you need after a hard day’s w'orkâ€"A Refresh- Ing cup of LIPTON’S TEA ~ . [ Bats, nocturnal though they are, ihave not especially powerful eyes lfor seeing in the dark. Moreover, tin herbal darkness no creature can asee, but a, bat in the thick blackness of a, cave at midnight can fly about {with perfect security; so-Qan what that is blind. The sensitive nerves "of the face and wings are so ar- lranged as to produce the echo penlse, which warn-s them always of any solid mass near by. Goes farthest for the money ; “In many cases, the organ that gives the bat the sixth sense is spread all over its face. In the :vampire bat, the organ is on the tip of its nose; it stands up in the air and is called the ‘shield’; but in most of the small bats which catch insects on the wing, we fined two little leaves, not unlike the wings of the insect that it pursues, standing up just in front of the ears.” These sensitive spots, together with the fine nervous network of the entire head'and Wings, are all closely connected with each other and with the brain._ As the bat flies about,_ the beat of its wings sends out a: succession of air-waves or pulsations. These are not rapid enough to. constitute sound, but striking against surrounding ob- iects, they are reflected back just as sound or light would be ; and these reflected vibrations, received by the sensitive organs so exquisitely ar- ranged, enable the bat to judge the distance of any object by the lapse of time between the departure and return of the air-waves.

When a man can achieve a salary of $8,000 a year merely for preaching, it goes without saying that he has gifts that are out of the ordinary. Such a man is Archdeacon H. J. Cody, Rector of St. Paul's Church, Bloor_ St... Toronto. The $8,000 salary is, in his case. a reality. Previous to the annual business meeting of the church the other day it was $6,000, but recognizing the great value of his work and the church being one of the wealthiest in Toronto, an increase of $2,- 000 a year was made with- great unanimity and enthusiasm. As indicating the wealth of the congregation it may be pointed out that their income for the year amounted .to over $73,000. of which more than $20.- *000 was devoted to Mission work. When Archdeacon Cody began his con- nection with St. Paul's Church as even- ing preacher, several years ago, St._Paul’s was a comparatively small institution, with a small church edifice and of very modest pretensions in every way. At. that time Mr. Cody had just graduated, and was lecturing at Wycliffe College on Church history. It was not until, four- teen years ago, in 1899, that Mr. Cody be- came rector of the Church. Since that date St. Paul’s has grown to be one of the most active and biggest church or- ganizations in the whole country. A mag- nificent new church has been erected at a cost of $290,000 for. building alone, and an organ is being installed which will be the finest in Canada. The organ is‘h’Slhg fur- nished by Mrs, Blackstock as a memorial to her husband, the late G. T. Black- stock. The new St. Paul’s is not yet oc- cupied, but, after many delays, is now promised for Octofier 1st next. When fln- ished it will be a monument to Archdea- con Cody's many abilities. Belongs to ,Low Churohmen. Perhaps the most prominent supporter: Mr. Cody has at St. Paul’s is Honorable S. H. Blake. He has been generous in his money contributions. but Mr. Blake’s chief support lies in moral qualities. His com- bative abilities are well known, and he has done a great deal to make St. Paul‘s the militant force that it is. At Synod meetings ng. ways the signal for .an increased interest, and. it may be, for dread on the part of those who may possibly fall foul of him. Being a Wycliffe man, and having 'his right-hand supporter such a pronounced ed from the Ritualist section of the Angli- can Church. So renounced are his _views and so strong 9 ties. it was impossible for him to be elect- ed to the position of Bishop of Toronto when the seat fe11_vaoant about five years ago, and the present Bishop elected on that occasion owes his position to a com- promise between the contending’forces. However,- Archdeacon Cody needs no Bishoprio to add to his laurels. He is, perhaps. more highly regarded than he would he in the more exalted position. ms Wlde Agtlymes.’ The Archdeacon is '8th a young man, scarcely more than tu‘rned forty. and can look forward in the ordinary course of events to many years of useful activity and many honors. He is a distinctly 0n- tario product. The village of Embro '- in North Oxford may claim him as his own.’ At the University of Toronto he had a. brilliant record, and for a time after gra- duatiou served as~ Classical Master at Ridiey College. St. Catharines. It was while at his work there that he gradually came to the conclusion that the field of work in which he could do the greatest good was that of the Church. His decis- ion has been amply justified. Though a Churchman. his activities are unusually Widespread. He has taken the keenest in- terest 111 the Canadian Club movement and is in constant demand as a speaker. The trend of his mind is indicated by the s b- ject chosen for his address before th Toronto Canadian Club the other day. namely. :‘The Test of a True Democracy."

Mr. Cody's congregation is itself extra- ordinary in representing diverse inter- ests. It contains men of prominence in every walk of life and furnishes a. repre- sentative cross-section of the community. He is revered by all who come under the influence of his preaching. The secret of his attraction probably lies in his sin- cerity and mental vigor. Cynics and un- believers cannot listen to him very long. He makes them ashamed or converts them. Leaside is a. Canadian Northern town site touching the borders of the corpora- tion of Toronto on its extreme north-east- ern limit. It consists at the moment of farm lands in their pure and undisturbed state.> The site is a vast one, containing some 1,200 acres, and the Canadian North- ern declare they propose to establish their shops there. employing perhaps thou- sands of men. and this. with their fam- ilies and the supporting population that will be required. will, it is expected, es- tablish a. centre of population of perhaps 25,000 or 30,000 people. But this is all for the future. Meanwhile the first step taken ‘by the Canadian Northern Railway was ‘tot aiskdthe city to annex this vacant tract 0 an . The latest controversy In civic afl’airs has been over the question of whether the "paper" town of Leeside is to be annexed to the city or not. the question being as to whether Leaside would be taken in or whether Toronto would be “took in." What the interests allied with the Cana- dian Northern Railway probably had in mind was to place the city under the ob- ligation of furnishing civic services such as sewers, sidewalks. streets, water. etc., to the district. This would, of course, re- lieve the present owners of the town site of a tremendous responsibility. It is stat- ed that annexation, carrying with it as it does the obligation to supply services im- mediately, adds several dollars a foot value to vacant property. and on this basis the annexation of Leaside Would mean several million dollars immediate value to the property of the present own- ere. who are headed'by Sir Donald Mann of the Canadian Northern Railway and Colonel Davidson, who has been intimate- ly associated with the Canadian Northern interests for eAnuniber of years._ 0n the other hand, there are. of course, undoubted advantages to the city in hav- ing Leaaide annexed at once, In this way only can the city obtain control over franchises and other matters which would be quickly complicated if left to an inde- pendent corporation. in Ontarlo Bo‘y Out West.

While Mr. Meighen has been discussing the Navy with considerable effectiveness and brilli- ancy, it is doubtful if he is as happy now that his party is in power as he was when in opposition. Mr. Meighen has been described as more of a destructive than a constructive debater. Besides, as a repre- sentative of the West he has pretty radi- cal views on some subjects. but as a. min- isterialist he has to recognize his respon- sibilities.

There is some revival of the talk of im- pending reaction in the business world, but it is probable this very talk, continu- ing for several months, that is keeping away some reversion to duller times. Ev- erybody exercising some caution has no doubt had a decided tendency to keep the situation in hand. If nobody had been on guard there might have been a disaster before this. Financial men do not hesi- tate to say that there must bea read- justment of real estate values.

It has frequently been remarked that in 1907 no city on the continent felt the pinch as little as Toronto, largely on account of the new riches flowing into the city from Cobalt mining camp. It is significant that now a. new mining camp is just on the eve of its producing stage. One mine in Porcupine is now producing gold at the rate of $10,000 a week, which figures out to a. total of over $3,500,000 a. year.

The Galbon Whistle was devised by Francis Galton for his study of individual differences. He had one of the Whistles built into the end of his came, and as he walked through the Zolologicanl Gardens he would blow it near tha ears of the various animals. He adjusted the whistle too high for his own ear to hear, and if the various animals respondâ€" ed to the sound he knew that their upper limit was greater than that of~the human ear. The ordinary human ear can de- tect a, tone whose vibration is at least twenty/five thousand vibra- tions per seoo , while the Whistle will produce fty thousand peri second. This upper limit values with the age of the individual to such an extent that, if the upper limit at sixteen years of age were ; fifty thousand vibrations, at sixty years of age it would be about twenty-five thousand per second.
