MARCH, r. Ai. Acleat oa trt ran oaa far Pratarrlnr Sacra El res Perpetually. Among the legends of the early Celtic uinta nothing is more common than the atory of the saint being sent to borrow fire and carrying in hia lap without the fire burning his garment In Ireland, before St Patrick Introduced Christianity, there was a temple at Tar, where fire burned ever and waa on no account Buffered to go but When Christianity became dominant it waa necessary to dissociate the ideas of the people from the central idea of fire as mixed up with the old gods; at the same time some central fire waa in absolute need. Accordingly the church waa converted into the sacred depository of the perpetual fire, and a lamp waa kept in it ever burning, not only that the candles might be ignited from it for the services, without recourse being had to friction or tinder, flint and steel, but also that the parish, the village, the town, might obtain thence their fire.

There exists a few a very few contrivances for this perpetual fire in our churches; they go by the name of cresset stones. earliest known Is not in England, but is in the atrium outside the remarkable church of Saint Ambrogio at Milan. It is a block of white marble on a molded base, now broken but banded together with iron. It stands- 8 feet 10 inches high and is 3 feet 8 inches in diameter at the top. It consists of a flat surface in which are depressed nine cup-like hollows.

These were originally filled with oil, and wicks were placed in them and Ignited. In England one is still in situ, in the church of Lewannlck, in Cornwall There it is not far from the door. It consists of a circular block containing on its flat upper surface, which is 22 inches across, seven cuplike i hollows, inches deep. The stone stands on a radely-moldeA base, octagonal, and is in all about feet 6 inches high. In Furness Abbey, among the ruins, has been found another, with five cups in it; at Calder Abbey another with sixteen such cups for oil and wicks.

At York is another with six such fire-cups, and at Stockholm another with the same number in a square stone table. At Wool Church, Dorset is again another example built into the south wall of a small chapel on the north side of the chunceL It Is a block of Pur-beck marble, and has in the top five cup-Bhaped cavities quite blackened with the oil and smoke. In some of the examples there are traces of a metal pin around which the wlclc was twisted. In addition to these, in several ohurchea are to be found lamp niches. Some have chimneys or flues, which pass upward, in some coses passing into the chimneys of fireplaces.

Others have conical hollows in the heads or roofs in order to catch the soot and prevent it passing out into the church. Now. although these lamps and cres sets had their religious signification, yet this religious Bignmcauon was an afterthought The origin of them lay in the neeessitv of there beta? in every place a central light from which light at any time could be borrowed, ana we reiwnii whv it was nut in the middle of the church was to dissociate heathenish ideas with it Cornhill Magazine. IVORY IN AFRICA. The Elephant Business a Source of Great rrout.

Amnncr the wild animals indigenous to Africa which are profitable to com merce may be cited theeiepnant nrsi oi nil. From the African elephant in deed, the world's supply of ivory is al- most exclusively drawn, ine ceyion nlpnhant has no tusks at all, and the elephant of India and the Malay Archi pelago, for what reason can noi Bay, furnishes but little ivory to the market; so little in fact that the Chinese, Japa nese and Indians have to import ivory from Africa for the hundred and one graceful artistic objects which they manufacture. Jsext pernaps goto, ana diamonds, ivory is the most valuable and profitable African product Asa rule, people are given to talking of it in a disparaging way as a vanishing quantity, and not a source of wealth to be permanently colculatcd on. If proper Rtn were taken toward a judicious preservation ot the elephant especially the lemales ana ks BiauR-nier were a. mrtain extent controlled and or- fmniuuL there is no reason why this magnificent beast should become extinct any more than has tne maian Alc.nh&nt The Indian elephant does not breed in captivity, or, at least a case only occurs once in mty years.

PracticallT von may say that every ele phant you see in the East has been caught in a wua state wnen young, au India the elephants are utilized as beasts of burden. In Africa possibly the same might be done, but in aaaiuon m. APrfiin nnmber of the males might be killed annually for their ivory. Britain has secured, fortunately, a gooa snare nt thn finest elenhunt country in Africa. In British South Central Africa, that is to say, all Nyassaland and the country to v.

Vi nt tha Unner Zambezi, the ele- WAV it phant is at present extraordinarily abundant J. no same is me cnac, perhaps an even greater extent in TMtlah East Africa Masailand-whence cornea the best ivory in the world. Then again we possess mucn oz tne country south of the Benue and at the back of the On Rivera, and before long we shall have the Egyptian Soudan. In all these countries elephants are still found in vast herds in spite of the reckless war waged against them by the natives. To have saved and domesticated this magnificent beast would be one of the proudest glories that could be attached to England's name.
