-The mew tion law of Kansas ia meeting with tlie strongest opisition trom a quarter wheuce trouhle was probably le;ist expected. ÏUe lavr absolutely forbids the hm', of wine in tlio sacrament, punishing the minister who so administera the sacrament with two yeara imprisonnieut in the ptnitentiary, and shutling up the ohttrch itself as a public nuisance. according to the Interpretation of tlie HeT. l'r. Bcatty, rector of the Episcopal Church at Lawrence. Last Sunilay that clergjman administered the sacrament as usual, regardless of the consequencos, haring previously annuuiiced to the congregation his determination so to do. He said: '-We are willing to ipnder unto (';csar Uiethings wllich are C'a-sar's, but we will still give to God the things that are Ilis. I say, as did Peter, 'Judge ye whether we shoiild obey man rather than fiod.' Of one thing you may be assuied, weshall never recognize for a moment the attempts of human legislation to destroy the grejit sacrament of the ('hristian church." Jt is probable that the Kev. Dr. Boatty's avtion will be imitated by other elergymen and the resul t is hard to prodict. It will be argued that the state cannot permit the prohibition law to be openly violated by clergymea without arousing a storm of oppoéftion l'ioni thosfl to vrhom its enforcement is a pecuniary loss, and, on the othet hand, that to consign the licv. Dr. Beatty to prison and close his church a.s a nuis:ucc Tould place sharp weapoofl in the hands of those who want to see the uciv law hcwn down root and 1 -ranch. Ordinary letter-paper, saysthe Comptcs Hendus, il' wkII heated and briskly rubbed with the hand or with a brosh, acquires electric properties. It adheree to tables and wal Is, and when the hand is hrought in contact with it slight electric discharges are quite visible if the experiment is made tn thedark.
