4 NFW EXPLODER-

Marcel Duprez the eminent French electri-
clan, has constructed new magucjO-clectuo
machine tor exploding mines aud torpedoes,
which possesses several points Of interest. In
stead OF passing the instantaneous current IN
duced in the coiled armature suddenly
suatched from the poles Of tie magnet directly
through the wires 70 the fuse ID the mine, he
passes il through the primary circuit OF an in
ductlon coil, and the secondary spark from this
coil Is sent along the wires TO explode the
mine The wire OF the armature coil ought
to be thick so a To give small resistance. and
the induced current due TO the withdrawal OF
the armature, should be broken when at its
maximum strength, in order that the rupture
may induce a maximum current III the
secondary circuit of the induction coil. NJ.
Duprez find, that ordinarily the armatures Of
eXplOders contain too much iron. In the new
explOder the aTmatuTe consists OF coil OF
stout wire wound on a core Of sheet iron, which
is carried by two crank levers mounted on the
same axle. By striking a small pedal attached
to the other arms OF these levers, the armature
is suddenly ierked away from the poles of the
horseshoe permanent magnet II rests against,
and the spark generated flows into the primary
of the induction coil. The interruptor of the
latter is 20 be adjusted, so to give the longer
spark from the secondary.

Hg7y n MAKE SERMOEs.-In speaking before
fine Yale Theological school lass week about
delivering sermons, President Robinson SAID (:
There has been rule laid down by some
writer that after the topic mas Deeh SeiecIeu
the urracher should note down such thoughts
as might occur to him. This practice often
leads the preacher to produce many lrrelevent
ideas. as We may well understand the process
of thought when pursued IN this way An
other StvLe Of sermon building, and one pur-
sued by many is after selecting text to ex-
anime "a lar.e range of literature for his mate
rial He takes au illustration here, a thou ght
there and the sermon after being made up II
sort IF religious patchwork. without con
tuuiy Of thought ana without harmony. III
in no way represents the preacher. Another
Dlan of sermon making in these days Is % con-
struct a skeleton, never varying II Its outlines,
after which il Is filled IN IN mechanical sort of
way, but not representing tie real thought OF
the author. This plan l. generally shown IN
those books for which both author and pub
Usher should be mdicted-pupit cyclOpGdias
and what are also called hOmIletcal journals.
The preacher takes these skeletons and hang
M coat and a hat upon them presents them
to his hearers. But such sermons contain but
little of the preacher and little OF thought.
Another plan Is the course pursued 10y some
yery eminent cergymen, and Is 70 give the
sermon no thought until he takes his pen IN
hand. Many preachers pursue TINS course, out
the plan Is more valuable for sermon that Is
10 be read than for one that Is TO De heaIu. IN
the preparatiOn of a topical sermon the
preacher should, as soon as he has selected his
topic, reduce it to its most compact form OF
statement. Then he should carefully analyZe
his subject. The real education shows Itself
here. What a man wants Is comprehension
Of his subject, and there is no one element SO
much needed in our pulpits to-day as system
attic analysis. Surprising a preacher should
select is his topic the excuses made Oy people
for not receiving Christ. and he takes the
massage of the excuses made for not attending
the wedding feast recorded in the Bible. He
takes it as the most natural thing without ex-
on. starting nowhere and ending nowhere. A
man can Iwrte a dozen of such sermons before
breakfast, and he may go on III such sermon
only to close by the flight of the time allowed
for the sermon. Ii does not lead the people
