THE NAMES OF STEAM vEssELs-REouIRE-
MENrs OF THE LAW REGARDING THEIR POSI-
rIoN ON THE cRAFTs-AcTIoN OF THE
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
On the LIST of October the Treasury Department is
sued crc ular calling the attention Of collectors ana
other officers Of customs to the general disregard OF
the requirements of law in relation to the painting
of the names of steam upon their sterns and
the sides of the pilot houses The sections of law
referred to require that the names of all vessels are
required to be painted upon their sterns upon
black ground in white gilt letters. not less than
three inches In length. by section 4,a9o It Is pro-
vded that the name of each steam vessel shall also
be painted on the outer sides of the pilot house IN
distinct plain lettersS Of not less than ak
inches in length. No method of painting
is designated in the section. but it is preferred that
the name should be painted on black in white gut
or yellow letters. In enforcing this law over two
hundred steam vessels were found in New
York city alone that did not comply with
it and the fine was imposed. Nearly forty
had totally disregarded the requirements OF
the law and the penalty was much heavier
in such cases. The attention of Secretary Sherman
having been called to the technical nonobservance
of the law he has RENTED the fine in most in
stances with instructions to collectors and other
officers of the Treasury Department to see
that owners of steam vessels are notified OF the re-
qurements of the law. believing that this Will OBJ

Farmers Column,
Do Not Let Stock Run Down.


There are plenty of farmers whose
cattle are, as general thing, well taken
care of and fed--luxuriant pastures in
summer and liberal feeling at the barn
in winter. But the critical period, the
weak link in the chain is between the
time when pastures grow short and
when the cattle are brought to the barn.
Not wklling to incur the expense and
troubleN-of feeding their stock until
driven to doeso fbm necessity, farmers
are syerysapt to allow their cattle to
remain in the pasture as long as posi-
BILE before bringing them to the barn or
feeding at the stack. While the pas
lures remain good, all very well, and SO,
too, when the cattle are brought to the
barn to be regularly fed. But there is
an interval between the two which causes
the damage. The interval, it is true, is
short, but long enough to show itself
plainly in its effect upon the cattle
The young stock, especially, receive a
check in their growth and development
from which they rarely, if ever, recover.
@Auo ~ Win Cdttlc ihtcuucu III stdi-
feeding in winter; there is direct loss
of whet flesh has been gained through
the summer, which it requires time and
extra feeding to replace. With cows
giving milk the case is still worse. 1t
is very easy to cause COW to shrink in
her milk, but very difficult matter to
restore her again to her previous yield.
When once under full Roadway. it is
very easy for the locomotive to draw a
heavy train upgrade, but to start a'heavy
train at the bottom to ascend an activity
is quite another thing. Just so with a
COW giving milk; she can be kept up to
her regular yield with much less trouble
than to bring her back after having once
lost it. Going down hill is easy enough,
but getting back again is the difficulty.
And SO to keep cattle out in the pasture
after the grass is nearly gone in the fall
is driving them down hill !. and if got
back at all it will only be at che expense
of heavier feeding in the winter. But
if, on the other hand, little hay or fod-
der is given to help out the grass, it will
save much larger quantity in winter to
repair the damage occasioned for the
want Of it. In other words, if cattle
come into winter quarters in good con-
dition, and there has been no check to
their growth during the fall, much less
food will be required to keep them during
the winter than TO attempt to replace
what has been lost in the fall for the
want of it.

Your Sympathy and Aid is
Needed.

The Thornwell Orphanage, situated in
the quiet and moral little village of Gin
ton, is an institution under the control
and direction of the Presbyterians of Lau-
rens county, South Carolina. 1t is not a
private enterprise. Those who have the
charge of it are only too grateful to be
allowed to use the bounty of Christians
for the help of orphan children. They
neither wish nor ask praise for their la
bors. There are now twenty-four or
phans in the institution. As no local re-
strictions for the admission of orphans
are enforced, aid is asked from all who
desire to give.
The object of this Orphanage is to sup
port, educate, and train orphans. Hence
no servants are employed All the house
hold and garden work of the family is
divided among the children, and they
perform their duties cheerfully and faith
fully. The school, taught by the daugh-
ter of the distinguished divine, whose
name the institution bears, is an efficient
one The children are taught in the Sab
bath School of the Clinton Presbyterian
Church, and have the same kind interest
taken in them, by our village community,
that is taken in children not so unfortu-
nate. Every effort is made, and we are
grateful to say, with marked success, to
lead them to the Saviour. The large
majority Of them are, humanity speaking,
earnest and consistent little Christians.
The average cost of support, education,
matrons care, clothing, shoes, etc, for
each child, is not over seventy dollars
year, and was in fact less than that, the
past year. We can, therefore, appeal to
the Christian public for aid, assuring them
that here little money will go a long
ways the cost being less than is usual in
such institutions.
Our Orphanage is unendowed. It's
motto is GIVE us this day our daily
bread" If the friends of the fatherless
forget US for single week our household
would soon come to want.
Any aid that can be sent should be
forwarded at once as our need is press
ing. 1t may be that you feel unable to
do anything, then please place this circu-
lar in the hands of some one that you
think able and willing to send gift, how
ever small On the answers to this cir
cular-note depends the support of twenty
four orphan children.
Send your gifts in registered letter, or
in P. O. order on Laurens c. II. Small
amounts may be trusted to the mail AS
far as we know, no gift sent to the or.
phanage has ever been lost.

Radiant Matter.

In a course of lectures delivered in
1916, Faraday pointed out the possibility
of fourth state of matter very different
from the three conditions, solid, liquid,
and gaseous, to which we are accustomed,
saying " If we conceive change as far
beyond vaporization as that is above flu
idity, and then take into account also
the proportional increased extent of alter
alton as the changes rise, we shall per-
haps, if we can form any conception at all,
not fall far short Of radiant matter; and
as in the last conversion many qualities
were lost, so here, Also many more would
disappear. Prof. Crookes, in a course
Of lectures just completed before the
British Association, has given a series of
marvelously beautiful experiments de-
monstrating the existence Of matter in
this fourth or "radiant" state To- COM
plete comprehension of the subject the
experiments themselves are necessary,
and even then but little idea can be OBJ
tanned without drawing. Briefly, how
ever, Prof Crookes employed apparatus
Of such extreme deGcacy as to produce
vacuum of one-milHorath of an atmosphere
Connecting the glass tube containing this
degree of exhaustion with Rhumkorf
coil, and passing powerful electric spark,
he obtained some of the most beautiful,
and, at the same time, wonderful phos-
phorescent effects. These effects are so
totally different from the phosphorescence
produced Under greater pressure as to re-
quire the hypothesis Of new state of
matter for their explanation. Under this
extreme exhaustion the actual paths of
the molecules have been traced and their
number and size estimated Apparently
these experiments would seem merely
scientific wonders, yet when the vital
connection between molecular science and
our everyday life is considered there is
but little doubt of the usefulness of Prof.
Crookes' discoveries, when they shall be
completely known and their bearings
fully understood.

Good News for the Deaf: The
Audiphone.

In this progressive age we are not
easily astonished. Inventions are so nu-
merous that we have come to regard them
as everyday occurrences. Among the
many, however, there are some which
claim more than ordinary attention. Of
such is the "audiphone, the simple in
strument by which the deaf are enabled
to hear. A gentleman in Chicago put
ting his watch between his teeth, and
stopping his ears, discovered that he
could hear the ticking of his timepiece.
This led to the manufacture of fanlike
instrument, which, held between the
teeth, greatly helps deaf people to hear.
The test was applied to several deaf
adults and children, who were not lit
tie surprised and even more delighted at
the results. AS dumbness is onl y the re-
suit of deafness, it follows that by use of
the audiphone the dumb can be taught to
speak This many have been taught to do
by other means, butwith great labor, and
not with entire success. In size and
weight an audiphone resembles an old
fashioned watch. Itweighs less than two
ounces and so is conveniently carried in
thepocket. Thesound enters through the
instrument on the principle Of the micro
phone, is conducted to the teeth-piece, and
thence through the teeth to the auditory
nerve. So carefully has the instrument
been tested, and so reliable IS it in Its
effects, that a man totally deaf for forty
years was enabled by its aid to hear dis
tinctly.

About the Sunday School.

The late annual meeting of the New
York Sunday School Association was
held in the Broadway Tabernacle. DR..
Philip Schaf of Union Theological Semi
nary, spoke on 1.-The Sunday School
abroad. Twenty years ago he said
Albert Woodruff went to Germany to in
troduce the Sunday School system. He
was ridiculed and told to 60 home and
mind his business, bot he persevered, and
now that system has become a power a
vitalizing institution in all countries.
But it needs larger body of efficient
workers. Education without religion may
prove even a curse instead Of blessing.
In Christianity alone is placed the hope OF
America and of the world
Chancellor Howard Crosby, University
of New York, spoke upon 1.-THE Sunday
School of the Future l am no pro-
phet, said he, nor the son of prophet.
/ can only tell what the Sunday School
of the future ought, in my opinion, to be.
On this subject I lay down three distinct
propositions. First the Sunday School
ought to be anintegral part of the Church
work 1.-THE Sunday School work were
entirely under the control of the Church
there would be no charlatans. Every
Sunday School should have the constant
supervisors of the Church officers. In
some churches there seem to be three
great rival interests-the church pro
per, the Sunday School and the choir
tApplausel. Secondly, the great object
of the Sunday School work is knowl-
edge of the Word of God. There are men
who are now striving to undermine the
Bible, and who call it farrago of human
invention and crude myths The pana-
cea for these ills is not in the study of
geology or physiology or history, but in
that Of our precious Bible itself Third
", our teachers must be thoroughly
trained for their important work.
DR.. William NJ. Taylor pastor of the
Tabernacle, spoke on the subject, The
Sunday School Here and Now; the Duty
of the Hour. " I have seen churches, "
he said. "in part where it was a disputed
question whether the dog should wag the
tail or whether the tail should wag the
doc. The Sunday School is for the church
and not the church for the Sunday School,
as MANY seem to think. But its officers
should be regularly ordained by the
church. Another thing that is not as
it should be is singing. Let US discard
