The sturdy committee oC tho Robert Morris Elsteddtod is with might ond main In the harness to make the com ing eisteddfod, which is to bo held on the 11th of May at the Frothlngham. the musical and literary event of the summer of 1807. Tho chief musical con test "Teyrnasaedd y Ddaear" will bo participated in by choirs from all the surrounding towns with one single ex ception. Wllkes-Barro will not be rep resented! This we did not expect from the little city which claims such In tense attachment for Ivorlsm, and, by 'the way, Is the homo of the Grand President of the order and many other Illustrious Ivorites. Tho commltteo bullded a little on frnternal love. Their musical contests would never have proved anything like success had It not been for the generosity of the Boranton singers. They were tho back bone of their good fortune. Naught In return. Well, yes, this Is character istic of tho people of the little hamlet In Luzerne! Such Is reciprocity with a vengeance. Never mind; tho Robert Morris Eisteddfod will get along very nicely. Sucess Is assured. Tho com petitions in tho singing department will be unusually spirited and of tho very best quality. Thirteen essays and eight short stories have already been received by the literary adjudicators. The essays are said to be of a very superior Equality. The competition In the poetical department is also of an excellent character. Some very fine English poems have been received on the subject, entitled, "Gwilym Qwent," many of them being from men of note In poetical literature. This will bo tho musical evint of tho summer of 1897, ond the committee Is to bo oongratu- Ilate-d for the magnificent programme they have arranged nd for the good work they have done In securing the tiest musical timber to enter the com petitions. Last year's eisteddfod was model of Its kind, and was almost perfect In Us general details, but tho cood work now in progress, bespeaks Inn eisteddfod of still greater activity land higher attainments inmus!o and I literature.

He Is a repiesentatlve of the tolling masses and ono that can al ways bo tiusted to do his duty. WELSH METHODISTS' NEW HYMN BOOK. The congregations of the Welsh Cal vlnlstlo Methodists nie being gradually supplied with the new hymn book. Tho llrst G.000 copies of the lniger edition nre already sold; and likewise the tlrst 23,000 of tho smaller edition. It Is an ticipated that another 0,000 of the larger and another 23.000 of tho Kinnller edition will soon be disposed of. A careful nnalysis of tho contents of the book, which is of much mnio import ance to Welsh life than any similar work In English, yields the following results: Metrical psalms, i'Jl verses; hymns, 2,913 verses; total, 3,170 verses. Of the psalms, 223 verses were In the old book, and only three verses are new; and only 403 verses of the hymns nre now; so that only 403 verses nre nn' In nil. Of these, at least 114 are now restored, having been excluded riom the collection of the late Hev. Kogcr Ed wards, which was in use in North Wales up to 1SC9, bo that not more than 234 verses are now Introduced for the ilrst time. Living authors have but a Miiall fchare In the work (4S verses in all): The Rev. Evan Rets ("Dyfed"), Cardiff. 17 verses, the Rev. Thomas Levi, Aberystwith, 12; the Rev. Cynha fal Jones, D. D.,Coiwyn Bay, 4; tho Rev. W. Williams ("G. np Gwilym Llevn"), Tjddyn, near Mold, 4; the Rev. J. T. Job, Aberdare, 3; Mr. John Davles ("Gwyneddon"), Carnarvon, 3; the Venerable Archdeacon Howell, Gres foid, 2; the Rev. It. R. Morris, Blaenau Festlniog, 2; and the Rev. IMohnrri Jones, Oswestry, 1 eise. Out of 3.17C verses, not less than 1,822 are by the Rev. William Williams. Pnntycelyn, "the Sweet Singer of Wnlcs;" 22S verses imeincai psalms) are by the Venerable Archdeacon of Merioneth, Edmund Prys. Only 213 verses nio translations or imitations of English hymn-wrltets. Dr. AVatts is first favorite, with 50 verses, no other author having more than ten verses. The collectors of the new hymn book have (says the "Liver pool Meicruy") rendered nn ImDottant service to Welsh hymnology by ap pending the names of their authors to several hymns hitherto pilnted as "anonymous" hymns is still consider able. The eollectois have assisted in quiry into the authorship of these by giving the name of the earliest collec tion or the earlkst periodical in which they are found. The new hymn book Is admirably arranged. Jinny will re gret tho omihslon of some favorite hymns; otheis will legtet that tho col lection Is not enriched by the addition of some hymns to be found in almost all other denominational collections but It will undoubtedly be the unani mous veidlct that It is" an excellent col lection.

A member of tho Aberystwith Board of Guardians said in a meeting of that board leeently that tho salt butter supplied lor tliu paupers appeared to contain a "mix ture of whlto paper," Paper Is better than straw. Tourists who want to hear a Welsh pgalmady festival aro advise! by tho "Musical Herald" to bo at tho Carnarvon Pavilion on tho 1st of July. There will ho eight thousand Calvlnlatlo Methodists un der Mr. David Jenkins. An extensive scholastic migration from Ireland to Wales Is predicted, for it Is said that the education department are about to allow teachers holding cortlll cates under tho Irish Education board to hao free access to tho schools of Great Britain. During a foot ball match between Llan- elly nnd Aberavon at Llanelly recently a young man named Evan Kvnns, brother of Jack Evans, tho well-known Welsh Inter national forward, who was playing for Llanelly, fell dead. Ritualism Is gaining ground among tho clergymen of tho Establish church In Wales. It is said that Eucharlstic vest ments aio in use In 47 churches In Wales, Incense In 7, altar lights In 100, and tho mixed ehallee in 41, while tho eastward position Is adopted In nearly 200. So far there appears to havo been no "bid" for tho Nntlonal Eisteddfod of 1S!. Liverpool Is in the Held for tho Wclh Olympla of 1500, next year Ffestiniog is to bo tho eynojuro of cisteddfodlc eyes, and It Is thought that Carmarthen and Abertwith might with propriety extend a welcome to tho gathering still un claimed. There Is a good deal of humor among the Welsh workmen. For Instance, a Dowlals notability. David Divies, who has Just died, was popularly known as "David Davles, M. P." Tho M. P. had no refer ence to parliamentary dignities, but to the fact that tho bearer of the sobriquet was a "master puddlcr." "Cymru" Is republishing Anna Beynon'g letters, written to America in tho latter part of the last century. They wero copied from "Banner America" (Scranton) Into tho "Haul" In 1S70-71, and again re published In "Y Dywysogaeth." They are remarkably good reading, and it is a pity to know that they were composed less than thirty years ago. The author is still allvo and well. "Leon," tho Newport bard who died re cently, was a r.atlvo of Cacrleon-upon-t'sk, from which ho borrowed tho appel lation. "Leon" Is a modllled form of leglo, genltlvo leglonis, and In tho npmo of tho Monmouthshire town Is reminiscent of tho fact that ono of tho legions during the Roman occupation was stationed there. Thero Is another Cacrlleon Chester which derived its namo from a similar fact. Cardiganshire may Justly pride Itself on having as its high-sheriff a member of one of tho ohVst of Welsh families. Colonel Lewes, of Llysnewydd, is the sixth repre sentative of his family to hold that of fice, tho first having been David Lowes, of Llysnewydd, who was hlgh-sherlft of Carmarthenshire In 1700. We find in an old calendar, dated tho 8th of March, 1CIS, that John Lewis, Lllsncwlth, was a notoj delinquent, and very nctlvo for the King.' A concert In honor of the Diamond Jubi lee Is to bo given by tho Royal Choral society, tho premier choir of England, This will bo In May, and royalty and the nobility will be present. The sollsts en gaged for tho occasion Includo such "stars" ns Madame Albanl and Mr. Ed ward Lloyd. But what Is particularly gratifying to Welsh people Is the fact that Mr. Dan Price, of Dowlals, has been se emed as tho principal baritone. Pontypridd Is the most attractive and picturesque place In tho wide world. This opinion Is given on tho strength, not of i a visit to Pontypridd, but of a "souvenir, ' rontalnlng views of tho town and district which Mr. Talverln Lloyd has sent us. j It Is on of thoso h ilf-mllo scries of photo- Kiui'iuu vifws wiiil'u, we uiusn 10 say, aro "manufactured In Germany," but If It wero mado in Tlmbuctoo tho present "souvenir" would still bo Interesting, for Pontypridl, on tho hills, looks like Jeiu salcm, If jou close ono eye to shut out tho railway sheds, whllo ladles with tho lal t Parisian dresses aro shown walking alor. sldo tho crystal river which timidly Hows under tho famous bridge built by a jpi tin T1UUMPII OP GENIUS, famous Welshman. Berw Brklge, tho Rocking Stone, and eoroo Pentyprldd cel ebrities aro Included. New departures are now tho rnto In con nection with tho National Eisteddfod. Tho music committee of the Newport National Eisteddfod have, with great appropriate ness, taken a new turn this year, by in serting In their list of subjects a gleo competition for parties not exceeding thirty in number, nnd for which a prize of 15 Is offered for tho bet rendering. Tho selected glee, "Y Clychau" ("Tho Bells") Is by that Incomparable genius, "Gwilym Gwent," tho llncst gleo-wilter Wales ever produced. "Gwilym" was a Monmouthshire man. An announcement in a London catalogue recently of that rare work, Salcsbury'3 New Testament, for sale. In nn imperfect condition, for 30, reminds a bookworm that somo years nnoi a sale of books in Carmarthenshire attracted a keen Bristol buyer, who, to his dismay, arrived at tho auction when the greater part of tho books had been sold. Ho found that ono of tho buyers had secured a particular book ho wanted, nnd saw that It was ono of a bundle which had been sold for a sovereign. Ho offered Cc. for one, but was refused, doubled the offer, and bought tho book. It was Salcsbury's Testament, minus a leaf, but It brought the buyer 30. In tho Swansea memorial to tho Welsh annlverslty court, It Is stated that Swan sea Is more distinctly Welsh than either Newport or Cardiff. Swansea, In fact, says the Cardiff Mall, Is a half-way houso between tho Celtic barbarism of tho west and eastf rn civilization, which commences properly at the Ogmore. All tho Welsh spoken In Swansea has been Imported thero from Cardiganshire and elsewhere. In a couple of years or so after he has come to Swansea even a thoroughbred Cardl becomes as thoroughly English n a Mumbler oyster. A hundred jears ago Swansea was English to Its linger tip. Among those who nre mentioned in con. ncctlon with tho vacant prlnclpalshlp of St. David's college, Lampeter, Is tho Rev. Robert WU'jlams, M. A., professor of hU tory pnd Welsh at the college. Profes sor Williams, who is a native of Tregaron, has had a very dl'tlngulshed career. Af ter graduating at Lampeter ho proceeded to Oxford, where he won an open exhibi tion nt Morton college. Thore he took tho highest honors first class In tho modern history school. Subsequently, ho read theology, nnd on tho appointment of tho Welsh professorship (the Rev. Owen Evans) to the wardenshlp of Lampeter. Mr. Williams was elected to fill tho va cant chair, and a year later he took over tho history work of the collezc, on the depnrturo of Trofessor Tout. Several of his pupils havo won scholarships at Ox ford In history. In tho old mining days of Wales work men mod to discover two valuable pro perties In connection with tho Ironstone. One was an ointment found useful for bruises, nnd the other a diamond locally known as a Welsh diamond, which has somo of the properties of the genuine one, nnd was ueed for cutting glas. Very singularly. In one of tho principal Lon don Journals detailed iccent'iy "experi ments In diamond-making, which were very successful, though not quite per fect, nnd tho process appears to bo a faithful copy of that adopted by nature In Its formation of tho Welsh diamond. A geological correspondent explains tho method, but hero it can only be stated that tho chief points aro a matrix of Iron stone and the action of electric boat. Professor Alfred Hughes, tho new occu pant of tho Chair of Anatomy at King's College, Is a young scientist (says tho "Star") who owes his Inspiration to tho modnrn elements of academic medlclno both la this country nnd in Germany, nnd who was first accepted by Cardiff to hold a similar chair nt tho university college. Nono of his; published writings is moro than ten years old, but during the decado ho has been gradually adding to his rep utation for srrt'pulous research, especially In somo of tho moro obcure features of tho muscular system. Ho has made an Important contribution In German for a technical periodical concerning the rotary muscles of the s.plne, and ho is nlready responsible for n manual of surgical nn atomy which embodies tho results of his own practical teaching. Professor Hughes has lectured on his special subject at Ed inburgh, and is an enthusiast with tho microscope. A South Wales visitor up North tells the following sttry. A peer well known In Welsh circles had many parsonages on his estate, for he was the patron of several livings. Ono day ho met an Incumbent and asked him "how things were." "Oh." -died tho old gentleman and off ho daheil Into a jeremiad ns to tho "tumble-down-dlck" and draughty tottering struc ture, miscalled n residence, in which he and her got Into deeper depths each day with cold and disease. Tho amiable patrl clan stood aghast, and at once told the roverend complainant that he would right the matter, and so ho did. What wa3 by forco of contrast a palatial mansion soon shot up Into architectural prominence, and In a very short while tho clergyman was happily fixed In his new quarters. Lord Bountiful met him again later on. nnd was pleased to find that the rectorlPl heart was abundantly satisfied. But beforo shaking hands ntpartlng ho asked his protege, "And what have you done with tho old houso?" "Oh," was the Imme diate rejoinder, "I havo sent tho curato to llvo thero!" Dowlals says (with a wink, wo fancy) that tho ono choir above all others which It does not want to heat Is that of Llonelly. Ever slneo the good old days, which be gan fourtron cars ago, when Mr. Dan Davles and Mr. R. C. Jenkins were tho re- fyactlvo conductors, tho best possible f ecMng ha existed between tho champions of tho "Sospan Fach" nnd thoso of tho "biggest furnaco of tho world." And time has not changed that feeling, although both choirs havo beaten and been beaten by each other half a dozen times, Thre wan a rcmnrkablo demonstration at tho Llwynypla Railway Station on Monday night. Both choirs were to return homo about the somo time, only, of course, from different platforms, and both wero assembled in full force facing each other, Llanelly amused themselves by singing "Sospan Fach," and occasionally with cheering forlhelr opponents. Dowlals re turned tho compliment, and when the choir got homo one of their first duties wns to give three cheers for Llanelly and another three for John Thomas. ftODERN INVENTIONS. Brief Resume of Some of (lie More Im portant Achievements of tbc fovea live Mlad in tbc Last Tbrec Wonderful Decades. Beta, In the Inventive Age, writes: "The decade 18C6-187G marks the be ginning of the most remarkable per iod of activity and development In the history of the world. The perfection of tho dynamo, and Us twin brother the electric motor, by 'Nv nde, Siemens, Wheatstone, Varley, Farmer, Gramme, Brush, Weston, Edison, Thompson, and ethers, soon brought tho great devel opment of the electric light and electric railways. Then appeared the Bessemer process of making steel, dynamite, the St. Louis bridge, Westlnghouse air brake, ami the middlings-purifying and roller processes In milling. The great chemist and probably greatest public benefactor, Louis Pasteur, ad ded his work to this perloj; the Gat llng gun (appeared; great developments were made In Ice machines and cold storago equipments; machine for making barbed wire fences; compressed air rock-drills and the .Mont Cenls tun--nel; pressed glassware; Stearns' du plex telegraph, nnd dlson's aundru plex; tho cable car system of Hallldle, and tho Janney car coupler; the self binding reaper ami harvester; the tem pering of steel wire and springs by electricity; the Lowt process for mak ing wnter-gas; cash carriers for stores; nnd machines for making tin cans. THE TELEPHONE. With the next decade (1S7G-1SSG) thero arose a star of the first magnltudo In the constellation of Inventions. The railway and telegraph had already made all people near neighbors, but It lemalned for the Bell telephone to es tablish the close kinship of one great talkative family, lu constant Inter course, the tiny wire, sentient and re sponsive to tho familiar voice, tran smitting 'the message with tone and accent unchanged by thousands of miles of distance between. Then come In order the hydraulic dredges, the Mis sissippi jetties of EacLs; the Jabloch koff electric candle; photography by electrlo light; the cigarette machine; the Otto gas-engine; tho great Im provement nnd development of the typewriter; tho casting of chilled car wheelsjtlio Birkenhead nnd Rabbeth spinning spindles; the enamelled sheet Ironware for the kitchen (Its begin ning dating back in the fifties). Next tho phonograph of Edison appears, Ilterjlly speaking for Itself, and re producing human speech and all sounds with s'tartllng fidelity. In this decade we also find tho first electric railway operated In Berlin; the de velopment of the storage battery: welding metals by electricity; passen ger elevators; the construction of the Brooklyn bridge; the synthetic produc ductlon of many useful medicines, dyes, and antiseptics, from coal-tar products; and the Cowles process for manufacturing aluminum. In the last decade (1S86-1S9G) inven tions In such great numbers and yet of such importance have appeared that selection seems impossible without doing injustice to the others. The grap hophone; the Pullman and Wagner railway cars and vestlbuled trains; the Harvey process of annealing armor-plates; artificial silk from pyroxy llnc; automobile or horseless carriage; tho Kallnskl dynamite gun; the Mer genthaler linotype machine, moulding and setting Its own type, a whole line at a time, and doing the work of four compositors; the Welsbach gas burn er; tho Krag-Jorgenseni rifle; Prof. Langley's aerodrome: tho manufacture of acetylene gas from calcium carbide; the discovery of argon; the application of the cathode rays in photography by Rontgen; Edison's iluoroscope for see ing with the cathode rays; Tcsla's dis coveries In electricity, and the kinot oscope, are some of the modern Inven tions which still Interest and engage the nttentlon of the world, while the great development In photography and of tho Webb perfecting printing press, Uie type-writer, the modern bicycle, and the cash register is beyond enum eration or adequate comment."
