handling, the reflector is slung in a flexible frame counterbalanced by a weight suspended from a cord passing over pulleys. It is finally finished by carefully beating up all depressions, the accuracy of the work being continually tested by a gage or templet. Reflector-making. Fig. 4235 is a reflector for workshop and household purposes. It has a globular polished surface, so that the light of the several gas-jets by which it is surrounded may be equally diffused on every side. Murch's reflector for lamps of street cars has a pair of parabolic reflectors a a, b b, joined at their apexes, where a portion of each is removed. At this central position, which is approximately at the foci of the reflectors, is a lamp c, whose beams are thus thrown in both directions in nearly horizontal beams of limited lateral divergence. 2. A short name for the reflecting-telescope (which see). 3. The reflector has also been extensively used for radiating the heat from an open fire i

ely been retired, and the members of the school can devote more time to the spirit of the law in the absence of these embellishing letters. Rev. W. S. Ralph, then the pastor of the church, acted as superintendent during 1878-1879; and while under his administration, in January, 1879, the school celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary with appropriate exercises. Fred Farnsworth was elected superintendent in January, 1880, but resigned in September of the same year, being succeeded by Mr. Murch, who merely filled out the unexpired term. At the annual meeting on January 5, 1881, Irving Smith was elected to the position, and served two years; after which Augustus Hodgman occupied the place with marked success for five years, followed by George M. Stevens, who served during 1888-1889; Seth Mason in 1890; Arthur W. Glines, 1891 to 1895, inclusive; and A. A. Wyman from 1895 to the present time. In 1895 the school reached high-water mark in membership, as the report shows a total o

A committee of thirteen was entrusted with the general management of their congregational affairs, the contributions of the whole body being thrown into a common stock, and divided equally. Murch's Presbyterian and General Baptist Churches in the West of England, 387. The united body was numerous and highly respectable, forming a large proportion of the most substantial citizens of the place.

On the merits of the case itself the following remarks of Mr. Murch are not undeserving of attention: A calm review of the whole case suggests various apologies for the part which was acted by the Trinitarians.
