MANY of the more thoughtful Freemasons of South Wales are thinking it rather late in the day to hear the echo of praises in favour of the dead and the living which ought to have been heard more than a year ago . It is the glory of the Masonic body to adopt the genius of the Craft to that eternal fitness of things which shrinks from incongruities as harmony shudders away from discord ; and
when , at the meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge held at Aberdare , soon after the death of the late Provincial Grand Master , Bro . Theodore Mansel Talbot , tho opportunity was permitted to pass without the slightest recognition of the very eminent services of either that deceased brother or of his equally eminent Deputy , Bro . E . J . Morris , a sense of discordancy vibrated through the heart of the
province , and that vibration has sustained itself up to the present moment . It was rightly designated a , r grave omission'" by those who , soon after the Aberdare meeting , originated a memorial requesting the Provincial Grand Master to convene a special meeting of Provincial Grand Lodge , and that there shonld , even then , havo been a tardiness in doing simple justice to acknowledged merit is
most unaccountable , and has not tended to modify the Masonic gravity of the omission . Justice , like charity , is most acceptable when prompt and opportune , and the savour of each , like many other things thafc are kept on hand too long , comes to be anything but appreciated when served up laggingly and long after date . AVe hope , for the sake of the Craft throughout the province , thafc the
gloomy morning of dilatoriness which has unmistakably dawned on the new Masonic regime will broaden into a brighter and more sunny day . We are quite sure Sir George Elliot has the welfare of Free , masonry firmly at heart , if he be only inspired aright by those who move in an executive capacity around and about him . —South Wales Daily News ,
LONDON GAS . —It would be difficult to give an exact estimate of the amount of disease which is directly traceable to the " noxious vapour" supplied by the great gas companies to London houses . Certainly we should say that impure gas has quite as much influence on the death-rate as impure water . Its effects are more subtle , and it is rarely the primary cause of disease ; but there can be no doubt
that the impure atmosphere which is produced by burning foul gas has a very disastrous influence on many cases of lung and throat disease . The products of the combustion of the purest coal gas are likely to produce evil effects on the human frame , unless they are constantly removed by free ventilation : and nothing short of a
thorough draught can render the combustion of impure gas innocuous . It is therefore highly important that the gas supply of the metropolis should be of the purest possible description . It ou ^ ht to contain no elements except carbon , hydrogen , and a small quantity perhaps of oxygen in combination . Sulphur and nitrogen ought to be rigidly excluded in every form , — Medical Examiner ,
