WHY NOT PITHEAD BATHS IN WALES?
WHY NOT PITHEAD BATHS IN WALES? In our last issue a correspondent writes in favour of the pithead bath. The utility of the arrangement was demonstrated to him while visiting Westphalia in the capacity of a mining student. He advocates the adoption of the pithead bath from the standpoint of morality, and also the virtue which is next to morality-or godliness, namely cleanliness. He favours it also from a health point of view. We are not of those who think that all foreign systems are better than our own, and that we should imitate the Germans in all their manners and methods, but we sincerely believe that in point of sanitation and convenience the introduction of the Westphalian method into the Welsh coalfield would confer a boon on our workers and their families. To the ad. vantages pointed out by our correspon- dent we may add that this innovation would mean a great saving and conven- ience to the housewife, for under the present system to keep a collier's dwelling scrupulously clean is not at all an easy matter. As Mining Student" puts it, if the new system is of advantage to the German or the American, why not to the Welshman? It must be admitted that the Welsh collier is somewhat conservative in his attitude towards old paths and habits. It is with the greatest difficulty that he is induced to abandon the time-honoured hearthstone bath for the newer arrange- ment which forms part of the equipment of the modern dwelling erected to the order of science and sanitation. And it is quite probable that an attempt to substitute the home bath with the pit- head bath would also obtain scant sym- pathy from him. But it is the age of the utilitarian, and sooner or later the sentimental Celt must submit to be weaned from all ancient customs that obstruct the march of sanitary reform. Which ofiour Welsh collieries is prepared to experiment on the Westphalian method ?
Letters to the Editor.
Letters to the Editor. SECULARISTS AND THE CHURCHES. Sir,—I feel reluctant to say anything upon the above subject, lest it should seem to interfere with my brother's free- dom. But the statement I heard made on Monday evening in Victoria Square, Aberdare, seems to me so utterly absurd, and so devoid of respect for what the majority of us hold dear as life, that I must write to protest. I heard the speaker say that the sooner we gave up the idea of God, and the idea of obtain- ing salvation from God, and trust to our own power, the better would it be for us. The manner in which this statement was made was so devoid of respect for that tremendous mass of men and women who in all ages have made our eternal and common father their strength and stay that I here utter my protest with my whole soul against it. If these men think they have the truth, they have as much liberty as any one of us to say what they think. But I demand, in the name of our common brotherhood, and in view of the tremendous interests at stake, in giving up our belief in God, that we should have careful and accur- ate statement and respectful treatment. Our friends seem to lose sight of the fact that what they say seems to us absurd and blasphemous, and that our Eternal Father whom we trust is to us the very life of our life, and the strength of our heart. We may seem to them a poor deluded lot of sheep. If so, then we need more careful and tender treatment. But if they believe in the survival of the fittest, then this belief in God and trust in Him for salvation demands their pro- foundest respect in the handling. 17. Stuart-street, M. ÐYANS.

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CON- SERVATIVE CLUB, PENRHIW. CEIBER. Gentlemen,—I am instructed by the Penrhiwceiber Branch I.L.P., to chal- lenge you, of the Conservative Club, Penrhiwceiber, to prove by debate that Socialism is theorectically unreasonable, practically impossible, and historically a failure, as the result of certain statements made by Messrs Mc Dougal and Little- johns, in a lecture held at the Penrhiw. ceiber Workmen's Hall, on Sept. 2nd, under the auspices of the Conservative Club.—Yours sincerely, 56, Church-street, SECRETARY. Penrhiwceiber.

Lecture at Aberaman.
Lecture at Aberaman. On Tuesday evening last a lecture was delivered at Saron Hall in aid of Mr. Isaac Simmonds, who has been incapaci- tated from earning his livelihood through ill-health. The lecturer was Mr. G. H. Bibbings, B.A., and he took as his sub- ject, The wonders of the mighty 'heavens." Ex-Councillor John Davies, Regent-street, occupied the chair. At the commencment of his lecture Mr. Bib- bings remarked that this was his rest- day, but was always glad to give his ser- vices for the benefit of deserving people, as in the present case. He opened his lecture by quoting the, utterances of the people of the Jewish race, such as "The heavens declare the glory of God," Psalms xix., 1, and particularly empha- sising "When I consider thy heavens, lte lyork °l\thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained,, what is man, that thou art mindful of him ? and the son of man, that thou visiteth him?" Psalm viii., 3 and 4. Referring to astronomy as one of the oldest sciences in existence, he remarked that it divided itself chronologically into four periods, viz.: the Caldean, Egyptian, Chinese, and Indian Schools He inci- dentally mentioned that the first Chinesfe observatory was supposed to have been built in the year 2608 B.C. He after- wards referred to the work of Thales. the founder of Greek science, to Pytha- goras, Ptolemy (who believed that the sun was 44 thousand miles away), and they were succeeded by Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, whose disciple Kepler in- troduced us to mathematical astronomy; Sir W. Herschel, La Grange, La Place, Ball, and Professor Adams, of Cam- bridge. With regard to the diameter and measurements of the sun. he stated that if hollowed 'it would hold 300 earths, and it would take an eye capable of viewing 10 square miles an hour 55,000 years be- fore it could witness the sun. The dis- tance from the earth was such that a light flash from the sun would take eight minutes and seventeen seconds to reach us, whereas the velocity of sound waves showed that they would take 14 years. He further took an illustration from a railway train, showing that at a rate of 60 miles an hour, travelling 24 hours each day, it would take 176 years to reach the sun, and if a railway ticket were issued at the rate of one penny for every 100 miles, it would cost in all ,23,962 for a journey to the sun. He then referred to Venus as the vesper, and to the other planets in the firmament of the heavens. Bringing the message home to man, he said that the contemplation of all these ivonders) ought to fill each human soul with awe. There were angels and messengers of peace continu- ally coming from above to help men to lead kindlier lives and to possess larger souls. The1 beautifulness of the works of heaven and the immensity of the Divine plans of creation were very very great, but everything was carried on with pre- cision and in perfect order. Not even a sparrow could fall without the knowledge of the divine: master, and therefore it was much more improbable that a human life, which was far more valuable than a star, could do so. At the con- clusion of his remarks, the lecturer was highly applauded by the audience, who had listened very intently. The chair- man then called upon Mr. Walker, Re- gellt-8treet, to propose a vote of thanks to the lecturer for his services, which was seconded by Mr. Jesse Summers,, Commerce-place. The latter gentleman said that in his opinion Ml;" Bibbings was a God-made man, and it would have done infidels good to hear the lecture that night. He hoped that he would live to provel himself a blessing to his country. A vote of thanks to the chair- man for presiding then closed the meet- ing.
New Darranlas Schools.
New Darranlas Schools. OPENING CEREMONY,, The new Darranlas Mixed School, Mountain Ash, was formally opened yes- terday afternoon (Wednesday). The ceremony was performed by Mr. W. Davies, chairman of the Mountain Ash Education Committee, in the presence of a large company. He was presented with a gold key by Mrs. Davies, wife of the contractor. Mrs. Davies said she had much pleasure in presenting him with that key, which she hoped, he would ac- cept and keep as a memento of that in- teresting occasion. She wished the Com- mittee and the School every success. (Applause.)—Mr. Davies, after thanking Mrs. Davies, said he felt honoured at the privilege of opening such a beautiful school. A vast change had been wrought in that part of the town. Whereas a few yearns ago the whole district around that building was a woodland, now, it wa,s a real hive of population. He had great pleasure in inviting the company inside to inspect the building.—Those present then followed Mr. Davies into the school, and all expressed themselves thoroughly satisfied with the modern arrangements introduced. The party was then photo- graphed outside the building by Mr. Reynolds, Mountain Ash.—At the invita- tion of Mr. T. W. Davies, the builder, the members of the party then sat down to luncheon. Mr. W. Hill, caterer, Aber- aman, had prepared an excellent table. There were present at the luncheon.- Mr. W. Davies (chairman). Councillors" f Ihos. Jones, J.P., J. p. Davies, D- Rogers, R. Parsons, T. W.
