Cardiganshire Chief Constableship.
Cardiganshire Chief Con- stableship. HOME SECRETARY STILL OBDURATE. We understand that a reply has een recei. ved from the Home Secretary, declining to reconsider his refusal to confirm the appoint. ment of Sergeant and Chief Clerk Richard jppes as Chief Constable for Cardiganshire. K will be remembered that the representa. tives of the Court of Quarter Sessions on the Standing Joint Police Committee favoured the appointment of Superintendent David Williams, Llandyseul, then Deputy Chief Constable, but Sergeant Jones was elected by the casting vote of the Chairman. The Home Secretary, npon being notified, declin. ed to confirm the appointment, being of opinion that so responsible a position could not be adequately filled by an officer who had previously occupied no higher position than that of sergeant and clerk. A special meet. ing of the Standing Joint Police Committee was subsequently held, when it was decided to ask the Home Secretary to reconsider his decision, and fo supply tne committee with the correspondence which he had received on the matter. Mr; Akers.Douglas' reply, however, is to the effect that he cannot accede to the committee's request. The next meet. ing of the committee will be held at Lampeter on January 14th.

PENLLWYN.
PENLLWYN. TEA PARTY AND CHRISTMAS TRFF,On Wed- nesday week last. the Rev M. Morgan, vicar, accord- ing to his usual generositv,entertained the members of Bangor and Goginan Sunday Schools to tea at the schoolroom. The members of the Goginan Sunday School, accompanied by the Rev E. J. Davies, curate, drove down in brakes, and at 4 o'clock some 120 sat down to heavy-laden and tastefully arranged tables. The following ladies waited at the tables :—Mrs Morgan, Rhiwarthen Mrs Burdett, Mis Rees, Mrs Owen, Post Office Miss Barbara Hughes-Bonsall Miss Kate Leek, the Vicarage Miss Maggie Humphreys and to their credit be it said that they carried out their duties admirably. Mr E. D. Jones, the Exchange, was prevented from being present as arranged, owing to indisposition. After grace had been sung all pres- ent did full justice to the good things laid before them, and it was a real pleasure to see the little ones looking so happy, and enjoying themselves so well. A further treat awaited the children in the form of a Christmas Tree, provided at the expense of the Vicar. Tea over, the curtain was taken down, and the tree lit up with coloured candles and laden with toys of every description presented a pleasing appearance. At this sight the children's faces glowed with delight, and their highest ex- pectations were realised when every one received a present. After the Christmas Tree had been robbed of all its good things, a concert was held under the presidency of the Vicar. A short programme of songs, recitations, dialogues, &c., was gone through. Mrs Jones, Dolypandy, also gave selections on the gramophone. Before departing the Vicar proposed a vote of thanks to the ladies who kinily waited at the tables, which was received with loud cheers. The singing of Hen IVIad fy Nhadau brought a most enjoyable afternoon to a close. No small credit is also due to Mr R. B. Lewis, who acted the stoker for the day, and saw that the water in the fountains reached boiling point, thus adding great- ly to the quality and taste of the tea. I

IS THERE A PLANET nEYOXD NEPTUNE…
IS THERE A PLANET nEYOXD NEPTUNE ? This question was revived before the Rojal Society of Edinburgh lut"ly hy Professov George Forbes, who called attention to the fnet, that there are seven comets whose aphb* lion points, according to their calculated orbits, correspond with the position of a planet re- volving around the suit at -a distanoa onn hurdied times greater than that oC the earth from the sun, and baring a period cl about 1)000 years. He suggested that tho at. traction of this supposed planet had altered tho clemlIts of tho orbit of tho great comet Keen in 1254 and 1556 so thnt it did not come back when expected in 1848. This comet, lie thougbt. .tilglit be identified with the third comet ol 1844, or the second comet of 1843, its return having been hastened by tho perturbation 01 liie planet.
FISHY SEA-SERPENTS.
FISHY SEA-SERPENTS. Somewhere at the bottom of the deep blue yea, at an unknown depth below the surfaoe. dwell Momo weird flahlike animals. One of these is serpent-shaped, about 24ft. long, and undoubtedly furnishes the foundation for ninny wonderful sea serpent stories. Speoi- Aiens of this deep sea monitor have boea mtriknded on the shores of Norway, Denmark, India, and New Zealand during thm past 150 fears, indicating its world-wide distortion. In spite of persistent effort, no ship has yet been iLla to oatch a specimen, old or yeang. But more wonderful still than the sea-sclent is the anineless fiMh. with telescopo eyep capable of txtending 1JQ8 or more, and protruding out- wards and straight upwards from his queef IStfe-like head.
NEW LIGHT ON DROWNING.
NEW LIGHT ON DROWNING. idea that drowning persons take nsaoh 9tar iota the Inngs has seemed to be unques- ;0181. But it has been long opposed by Pro* flimew W. K. Whitford, who in 40 yean has meaessfully treated many patients apparently lead from drowning, and who now asserts, as the oimlt of many examinations, that practically no irater enters the lungs. Tho mistaken view lins aftuiieil, the waste of much valuable time. He hat (•cud heat—energetically and persistently applied—to be the most important agent in «*'i;a*a»tutiou, and with this, aided by artifleial .:c:.pil'ation and stimulation, ho has restored tiiejpia that bave been submerged an hour.
CHEMICAL EXECUTION.,
CHEMICAL EXECUTION. 4 ^te there has been a good deal of die- ±o««don on the subject of capital punishment Mid the best means of carrying it out. Electro- mtion, though certainly an up-to-date method af removing obnoxious persons, ia not altogether received with favour. M. Berthelot has ex. pressed the opinion that carbon monoxide, as used by tho polioe for the destruction of stray dogs, is by far the best means of carrying out capital punishment. This, of course, will be putting to a legal use in a scientific way the jgent which is reponsible for a peculiarly French method of suicide—the charcoal stove.
BETEL NUT.
BETEL NUT. The areca out, or betel nut, is the fruit of aw East Indian palm. It is chewed in great quantities by the Asiatics, who regard it as an aid to digestion, and in pharmacy it is used as a vermicide. The present scarcity of the out4 seems to be due to a mysterious plague that has swept the plantations of Lower Bengal. Dens# groves of thousands of trees have become vege. table cemeteries in a few months, and no para- sites or other adequate cause can be discovered, The only explanation offered hy Dr. George Wat$ alter investigation, is "degeneration of tisaiia, to be remedied by care in cultivation.
THE AGE OF EGGS.
THE AGE OF EGGS. The following method of determining the age of eggs is practised in the markets of Par*,& le- Aho- ft nix ounces of common cooking-salt is p", into a large glass, which is then lille,3 with water. When the salt is in solution, an egg is dropped into the glass. If the egg is only one day old, it immediately sinks to the bottom; if any older, it does not reach the bottom of the glass. If three days old, it Jinks only just below the surface. From five days upward, it floats; the older it iH, the more it protrudes out of the -witter.
JAPANESE ARCHITECTURE.
JAPANESE ARCHITECTURE. There arc no tall buildings in Japan- Earth* quakes would not permit them. The 11 Flowery Iiingd om" is 1 denned with some two or tUree earthquakes a week in tlie season—often of great violence. Therefore the problems in building construction are extremely difficult. No matter what the material used, tho tops of Japanese buildings must be extremely (;iht so that they will not shake down. And the r'alis and girders must all be locleBl together or they would soon fall apart, 'lhis • 000 rear sou why Japanese buddings are small.
COMPARISON OF APPETITES.
COMPARISON OF APPETITES. Persons who are very dainty are soinetimM jaid to have only the appetite of a ekimry. All experiment has recently been made in the direction of finding out just what the appetite of a canary is. A canary was weighed, and it was found to turn the scale at 'Jt7 grains, or something over half an ounce. Tow b'od also was weighed and it was found that cha bird cats 32 tunes its weight every month, or actu- ally more than his weight every day, thus show- ing that the proverbial pig is a light eater com- pared with tho canary.
BOILER SCALE.
BOILER SCALE. "Thile petroleum may be recommended as a ^lsincrustant, for internailv-lired boilers, Marcel VJuedras points out that its use is dangerous in •joilers fired externally. Tho oil added to the water tonus all emulsion that prevents the liurticles of lime from adhering, and aided by tt.,2 heat, penetrates and do unites the seale already formed. But in externally-fired boilers a canmnaceous deposit tends to 101'111 on 1;" plates where they are hottest, giving rise to overheating.

CHILDREN were in evidence on New Year's morn- ing, in Great Darkgate-street, when some hundreds were tobe seen besieging the well-known toy shop of the Mioses Ward, who, with that generosity arhich characterises them, had intimated their in- tention of giving away a large number of toy bal- loons. Marshalled into an orderly queue by P. C. Jones, the little ones trooped in at one door only to emerge at another bearing the coveted gift, and soon the sky was dotted in divers directions with balloons which had escaped from their young cap- tors fingers, and were carrying the donors' names to regions unknown.

She was not in the habit of using bad language, or-of drinking.—The Bench bound de- fendant over in the sum of £1 for six months, and advised her to keep from whisky.—Defendant I will, your Worships. VOLUNTEER CHURCH PARADE.—The annual church parade of the members of the 1st Cardigan Volunteer Artillery took place on Sunday last. The men paraded at the new Drill Hall, and presented a smart appearance in their new tunics and hel- mets. The officers present were Captain G. F. Rob- erts (in command), Lieutenants Rea, Morgan, Roberts, and Blackwell Veterinary-surgeon Wil- liams, and Chaplain J. E. Lloyd. The muster was an exceedingly large one.

Owing to the Cattle Show field engag- d the cup competition marches.the game was plaved on the Fronheulog field. The grornd was quite hard with the frest, and the slope of the field prevented a good display. The Dol gelley team in the first half played down hill. Play was often in dangerously close proximity to the home goal, but the right back proved a tough cus- tomer, and made some good saves. J. Griffiths and E. D. Richards e;ch sent in oblique shots from the left wing completely baffling the home custodian. Shortly after the resumption of play, Dolgelley scored two goals, thus equalizing. Richards was fouled near the home goal, but the referee dis- allowed an appeal for a penalty, on the grounds that that player did not fall. Richards soon after again scored, and established a lead for the visitors. The final resnlt was Barbarians 3 goals, Dolgelley 2. The Aberystwyth team was as follows :—Goal, R. Bevan backs, H. W. Stephenson, and Bernard Brotherton; half-backs, H. Brotherton. Ernie Peake, and Mansell Jenkins forwards. D. J. Dav- v L' .nlev Peake. E. D. Richards, R. Peake. (captain), and J. Griffiths.

The perfoimance of the sketch showed that much care had been taken in its production and the audience were much interested in it. Grand Soiree.—A grand soiree in aid of the St. Paul's Schoolroom building fund. was held at the Royal Pier Pavilion on New Years Day. The Rev. W. Morgan, Envyd House, was the Chairman.

The next item on the agenda was to receive the report of the sub-committee appointed at the last special meeting to invite the co- operation of the old guarantors and to con- fer with the manager of the bank as to the account. Professor Levi reported that the terms of the resolution were carried out, and that every thing was most satisfactory and successful. Although tTie.y did not succeed in getting all the old guarantors to sign, they were not in the position of not having obtained any, and he could only refer to the correspondence already read from th bank to show that the conference with the bank manager had produced most satisfac- tory results.—Mrs. Elizabeth James: How many of the old guarantors are willing to go on.—Professor Levi: I do not think it nec- essary or right to disclose the names or num- ber- of the old guarantors who have signed the guarantee. Mrs, Griffith said as one of the old guar- ant.ors who had signed it, there was an ex- planation due from her, since she had so re- cently withdrawn her name from a siffiffar document. She had done this purely as a temporary relief, and on the plain under- standing that the whole matter of the effici- eacy of the school woulrT be brought forward and investigated promptly. Her belie! was. that this was not a financial difficulty, but that the deadlock was a natural result of the strong feeling that existed throughont the ro'inty, wn" protest by the pub- lic one! g.:0 auto,s. They all must fed most keenly the ridiculous position which they had been bi ought into the eyes of the public —especially in the eyes of Welsh education- ists—by their petty wrangiings on side issues o. comparatively small importance, main issues being leit untouched. They allowed lH0 emciency ana tone oi their school to be a bye-word and laughing stock to the man in the street. She would like to ask was it not possible lor them to appoint an influential deputation to confer with the headmaster as u. tiie -wisest caaise to adopt in order to es- tablish confidence in the school. For after the experience of the past few months they must :o something to end their unfortunate position, if they eaied lor the best interests of the children, and if they had the good name of the town and school at heart.— Professor Levi said Mrs. Griffiths' views he heartily endorsed,, with the exception of the best course to adopt. He was not sure that a deputation to the Headmaster would be of any use. Every guarantor signed with the best possible feeling, and left the managers free in dealing with the school. They (the sub-committee) were not willing to take conditions or stipulations for signing it, 80 that the result showed a confidence in man- agers. There was plenty of public confidence in the managers, in spite of what they had been told.—The Chairman said he was sure they were all much obliged to the sub-com- mittee for the second effort made. The first effort having failed, he had felt they ought to have some alternative. He could say that at the last meeting he readily gave way in regard to his resolutions, hoping that the suggestion made would be successful, and he was sure no one was more delighted than he was that it had succeeded. He hoped the managers would make every effort to do what ever they could with the view of making the school efficient, and work harmoniously to- gether.—Mrs. James: What is the object of the deputation.—The Chairman: That is only a suggestion, which it wrill be necessary to put on the agenda before anything can be done. I am sure I am pleased to find myself in the cool atmosphere we are in this evening.—Mrs James: It seems to me we are the same as before.—The Chairman: Except that some of the old guarantors have re-signed. Con- tinuing, he said if anyone made a suggestion to improve the school it would be thoroughly considered. Hei tt-usted they would 'have Mrs. James' hearty co-operation, and any suggestion of hers, he was sure would iiave the respectful consideration of every man- ager. He appealed to, all to, come there with the object of working together.—the only way by which public confidence could be es- tablished. He felt thankful for the harmony after the storm, and he hoped that now it was on a better footing greater interest would be taken in the school. In the past this had not been done, and it had often been hard to get a quorum. He knew Mrs. James did things thoroughly—Mrs. James: That is why I want this done thoroughly.—The Chair man said they very often without thinking said things they did not mean.—Mrs. James: I generally mean what I say.—The Chairman, I know Mrs. James has made remarks which on reflection she would be sorry for.—Mrs. James: I am not sorry.—The Chairman: That is the worse for Mrs. James if she is not.—This ended the discussion. The North Cardiganshire Hockey Club applied for the use of the County School field on Monday and Friday afternoons at a rent of £ 3.—It was decided that the Clerk reply stating that the field was already cut up too much, and that it was impossible to let it at present. A discussion took place on. the question of the promises made of subscriptions to the building fund.—The Clerk said he had com- Kiled the list, as co-secretary with the late tr. Thomas Owens. Several repudiated any promise to give a subscription. He dould not sa, ythat more would not repudiate a pro- mise on going round again. He was not in a position to prove that the promise had been made, and he had therefore no right to pub- lish the list ofl promises.—Professor Levi asked what harm was there in providing the managers with copies of the list. They had found people more ready to subscribe than to sign the guarantee.—The Clerk asked why had 150 copies been ordered.—The Chairman said it was with the view of send- ing a cony to all who hadpromised a subscrip- tion.—The Clerk contended that if they sent a complete list to each, the list including any who had not promised—it would be publish- ing a libel.—Mr. Richards poposed that it be deferred until thfll next meeting.—This was seconded by Mrs. Griffith, and unani- mously agreed to. The meeting then ended.
