Harding , gives y our coirospondent the following details of tbo workings of this system , which , if suc cessful , will revolutionize street railway methods. The Hnrding system avoids the use of the overhead wire and employs nn un- flcrgrouua conduit running along the center of the track , which , unllko anything bcrcto- fore tried , is entirely closed , having no slot or opening through -which the current is taken. The Harding conduit consists of an firou casing with n tubular lower pirt : in which the main wire Is thoroughly insu lated and carrying on Its upper surface nn exposed section of conductorabout six feet Jong and a cjuator of an Inch above the sur- face. Those conductor sections are com pletely Insulated fiom each other and from \virecarrylng the current and. are at all times frou from the elcctrio current except ' when tbo car 1 over and protecting it. The ( sections through which the current reaches 'the car are themselves brouijlit into connec tion with tlio main Insulated wlro automatic ally by electro-magnets located In a small cavity at the end of each section. Amongtho inany advantages claimed for this system is its absolute safety , Its freedom from interfcr- enco with telephone1 ! , the absence of danger from lightning and that 1U perfect insulation renders sufo the carrying of a stronger cur rent which will enable care to bo run twenty- 11 vo milia f rom the power house mueh more economically than is now done and will ren der the use of a low running motor on the cars possible , thus avoiding tbo noisy aud ox- jienslvo ( joarliig ouUnarily used.

Tlio most in teresting pai r to coino before the Arnoilcan board of foi'cijn missions and ono -\vhich celled foith an acrimonious debate was the report of tlio committee of nine ap pointed a year ago to examine Into tbo method of administration of the olllccrs of the board in Boston , especially tbo methods employed by the home secretary in ascertaining the qualifica tions of candidates for tlio missionary field. TlKvhnlrmn.ii of tlio committee is lr. Walker of Now York , and associated with him arc others representing the two great wings ot the board , but not extremists in any sense. Tlio report made a detailed showing of the finances of tbo board and compired what tbo board had received yearly for its work with what is Riven to other largo benevolent .societies Of the church. The Hprmes showed that while the contribu tions to these other bodies have been increas ing year by jear as tlio church grew , there tins been practically no Increase In the dona tions to the American bo.ird. This state of affairs , tlio p.ipcr argued , sliows dissatisfac tion in the churches over the quarrels that have coino as a result of tlio pres ent system of administration. The report which was a leiifrtliv ono , was summed up in the form of resolutions nt tlio close. These urovido that the committee on the treasurer's report bo appointed by the board at the an - iiual meeting next previous to the mooting at which siieli coiniutttoo Is called on to act ; that 11 copy of the treasurer's report bo sent as soon an rc.idy . to each member of the committee ; that the by-laws bo amended to provide th.it the auditors shall annually employ an expert In tbo examina tion of tlio treasurer's account ; that thcio bo a substantial increase of the force employed hy the board to bring the interests of its missions and the pause It represents Ijeforo the churches who contribute to its support. Tlie resolutions further provide with reference to missionary appointments that questions 1 and 2 for candidates be amended to road : Question 1 , What are your views re.spact- ini ! each of the leading doctrines of scripture commonly held by tbo churches fcusuunlng this bo.mU In answering tliis question you imy use your own language * or refer to any ciceds of aelmnwloilged weight. Question " ifuviiyon any vlows at vari euro with tlioio doctrines or any views of church government -which would prevent your cordial co-operation with the missionar ies of this bo.irdl These questions being so amended , all ap plications for appointment slnlt Iw made as now to the corresponding sccretiulos of tlio board. Uommuiiiciitioiis shall bo presented forthwith to tbo prudential committee. ] n raso the committee desires further scrutiny into t ho theological opinions of the candidates iUhallbo had through an interview with ttio committee am body , or , If this is not prac ticable , with a subcommittee , consisting in part ot lav men. At such examination the doors slmli bo open for the prcsomo of any member of the board or pmoual friend ot the candidate. The dobuto on tliH.nmttorwas a most ani mated ono. Dr. Joseph Cook opened tbo attack on the paper unit win replied to by Ir. QucnUbeiithcvpnor.iblo \ Ur.

However , since Dr. Thompson had precipitated matter * bowould umfcelt public , ile tlioil read a scries of lctior.-s regarding certain young lady students \Vollcsloy college who were rejected us missionaries .somo years ago.
