earthworms two feet in length have been | found in the British Isles, and various species as large or larger are known to
exist in South America, Western! A‘rica, Australia andNew Zealand. | The largest species known, however, inhabits South Atrios, Forty years ago a specimen was describ- ed which measured six feettwo inches in length, but it seems to have been
nearly forgotten until the other day, when a gigantic creature of the same species was sent to the London Zoologi- cal Gardens from Cape Colony. The longest measurement of this worm yet taken reaches six feet five inches, its diameter being nearly half an inch.
Money Veceration.—A short time since Paul Reinsch discovered several kinds of minute plants—iacluding two alyne which had before been unknown -- growing upoa coins after haviog been long enough in circulation to receive thin incruStations ot organic matter. A Hungarian botanist, Julus Schaarsch- midt,has more recently found the miero- scopic growths upon paper money, even the cleeuest specimens not being free from tiem. He has detected seven species, includisag—although they are ‘e—the two new algae described by Lainseh,

A Frenca astronomer has found reasons for believing that a circular protuberance—presumably a voleano— which exists in the southern hemis phere of Venus has an elevation of not less than seventy miles. He regards such & vast mountain as not incom- patible with the planet’s volcanic nature.

The Plenary Council.
CHANGES IN THE RELATION OF BISHOPS AND THEIR PRIESTS. CLEVELAND, December 10.—The
Press this afternoon says a decree was adopted at the late plenary council at Baltimore that hereafter a new mode of electing bishops will be in force. Here tofore a bishop of a diocese had full power to remove a priest from a parish aod « priest had uo voice whatever in selecting a candidate for the bishopric. Hereafter each bishop wi!l appoint a court of consultors, composed of six priests of his diocese. This court will be irremovable. They will have power to try cases with the bishop and each member will hold office for life. Ten per cent ofthe priests of the diocese designated by the bishop will be made rectors and their pastorate shall be irre- movable. After being selected a bishop will be powerless to remove them exe cept lor cause, after trial. In the se- lection of consultors the bishop may choose from among rectors or may ap- point other priests. The new mode of electing a bishop will be as fullows:—On the demise of that dignitary rectors and consultors of the diocese will meet and send three names to Rome. If the

NEW IMPROVED PATENT EICHT-FLANGE FIRE-PROOF SAFE.
0 aa only Eight-F'ange} Safe in the world, and containing more improvements than ANY SAFE made, such as :
Ist. THE PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK, which is placing \the bolt work with the whole of the filling (six inches) between it and the outside,’that is, as far from the fire and thief as it can be
2nd. THE PATENT HINGED CAP—the back plate of the door being on hinges, enabling the owner, by turning a thumbscrew, to have easy access to the lock and bolt- work. He can thus easily change the lock, clean, oil, and keep the bolt-work in good order.
3rd, IRON INSIVE LINING, stronger than wood, and which retains the moisture in the filling for an indefinite time. Wood is thicker and weaker, and after a few years absorbs the moisture and ‘‘requires filling over again.”
4th, FOUR-WHEEL COMBINATION LOCKS, the simplest, strongest, most efficient and easiest to change of anv in use.
5th. SOLID ANGLE IRON FRONTS, BACKS AND CORNERS, which prevents warping or injury to safe from falling, or falling walls or timbers.
6th. EIGHT PLANGES—the most important improvement ever made in fire-proof safes, providing cight laps, thus preventing the passage ot heat, it having to pss over twelve inches, no injury arises from this source, as in other safes containing one, two or three flanges.
THESE SAFES have stood the test of years, and the greatest fires cn this continent, aud have the CHAMPION RECORD in the Boston, Chicago and Haverhill Fires.
We are selling these safes as low as any good safe, and are disposing of Jarge numbers throughout the Dominion
