aiming engineer, Wenzel Poech, has
discovered Il simple and expensive
means of preventing loss from such

treating the coal.pile with steam for
the exclusion Of the air and securing
permanent retention of moisture
The theory Is that the absorption of
oxygen aud other gases, for which the
way is opened by the evaporation OF
the microscopic moisture, causes the
deterioration OF the coal, and this

The Most Heroic Figure.

Gordon is without doubt the most
heroic figure Of the day, and his mar
yelous ride to Khartoum will live in
history with the expedition to Marsala.
Wide as is the difference between the
campaign OF the Thousand and the
Journey of q solitary, unarmed man,
the sublime heroism with which Garri-
baldi hurled his little band against the
Neapolitan kingdom was closely akin
to that with which Gordon rode alone
to meet foe that had exterminated
armies. Between Assouan and Khar-
toum the road swarmed with rebels
filed with hatred OF Egyptian and En-
glish rule and maddeued with Moham-
medan fanaticism, but Gordon did not
hesitate to make his way through them.
His confidence that he bears charmed
life so long as Providence has work for
him to do was justified by the result.
He reached Khartoum, where his au-
thority is as absolute and unquestioned
as it could be were he at the head OF
an English army corps. The secret OF
Gordon's faith is his religious faith.
The source OF his power is the convic-
ton among the people that ls is rs
Just as he is fearless.
1t must be confessed that the course
pursued by Gordon since he reached
Khartoum will suggest the suspicion
that he may have passed the narrow
line, which, in some cases, divides re-
ligious exaltation from lunacy. He has
publicly burned the whips of the Egypt
ian rulers, and the book in which the
debts due from the wretched inhabit-
ants to the Egyptian treasury were re-
corded. This was humane and just
measure, and the spectacular way in
which Gordon carried it out was well
adapted TO impress an Oriental commit
nifty. To this act, however, were added
general jail delivery and the burning
of the jail. Without doubt horrible
acts of oppression had been perpetrat-
ed in the Khartoum jail, and without
doubt many of the prisoners whom
Gordon found in the jail were innocent.
At the same time, how can sane man
imagine that Il town like Khartoum,
inhabited, according to all Europeans
who have visited it, by the worst ruffi-
ans that the slaVe-trade has produced,
be kept in order without Jail? A COM
munity of Quakers might perhaps be
governed for brief period by the law
of love, and without magistrates or
penal code, but Gordon is apparently
trying like experiment in town COM
pared with which LeadYille or Dead
wood is a quiet Christian Village.-M

kIrksVilIe PreSbytery.
April 29th.

The Kirksville Presbytery of the c.
P. Church held its late semi-annual
meeting in La Plata, April 1910, ad-
journing late Saturday afternoon 10
meet at New Providence church,
Shelby county, Wednesday before the
Ist Sabbath in September next.
Ofthe eighteen ministers belong
ing to the body, fourteen were present,
also five visiting members. Two minis
tiers were added, one by letter and the
other by ordination.
Twenty-one out of the thlrty-four
congregations were represented. A
recently organized congregation was
taken under the care of the Presbytery
Two OF the five probationers for the
Ministry were in attendance. Others
in college and teaching.
The preachers all under orders for
their whole time except two, and all
the congregations are supplied.
The reports of the ministry and rep
resentatives gave enc ouraging lntelli-
gence of seasons of grace in eleven of
the congregations within the last six
months, resulting in 267 professions of
faith in Christ and 272 accessions to
the church.
The following recommendations of
the committee on temperance were
unanimously adopted: 1. That all
members of your churches withhold
their patronage, as far as they reason
ably can, from any drug store which is
know to violate any law in regard to
intoxicants. 2. That their influence
be used for the inforcement of all laws
restricting the sale OF intoxicants now
and for the enactment
of suitable statutory law or
constitutional amendment which will
give prohibition. 3, That We disap-
prove of dram shop license and reve.
nue. of all kind being obtained from the
sale of intoxicants.
All the religious services and busi-
ness transactions were characterized by
earnestness and consecra.

One of the most interesting and val
liable features of the Johns Hopkins
University library is the newspaper
bureau. A trained editor and staff
of assistants read all of the representa-
tive dailies, mark superior articles up
on economic, political, social, educa-
tional, legal and historical subjects.
These are afterwards clipped, arranged
in newspaper budgets, kept in large
envelopes or oblong boxes which are
marked with labels. The list of sub
jects includes everything of value that
finds its way into the columns of the
press Bulletin boards are covered
daily with the best clippings from the
latest papers; arranged under the lead
ing heads of current topics.

Beer as an article of ordinary diet has
been discontinued in at least twenty
seven pauper lunatic asylums in En-
gland, with the result that in no in
stance has the apparently important
change led to any sort of physiological
Inconvenience. Many of the Superin-
tendents in whose asylums the modi-
tication was made, and through them
many of the patients, testify cordially
to the benefits derived from the change.
The question, says the Journal Of Men
tai Science, is not one of teetotalism, or
even primarily of financial order, but
one OF pure expediency and good man
agement. in all probability the disuse
of beer as az element of the diet of pau
per lunatics in English asylums viii be
more extended. and will be watched

WHY wATIERsoN is SAD.
The Effect His Congressional Service
Had Upon Him.


"Do you notice" asked the gentle
man from Philadelphia, ..what serious,
melancholy. almost mprose look Henry
Watterson's face wearsP That is the
result of his experience as congress-
man. His district once consented, al
most unanimously, that he should come
to congress. Watterson had not fairly
settled himself in Washington before
an old lady down in Tennessee, who
had known him when he was boy,
wrote to him for some seeds.
HE asked friendly old member
from New York rs to the formula to be
used in getting seeds, and was inform
ed that he must write to the commits
sioner of agriculture, telling what he
wanted and giving the address to which
he wanted seed sent. He did write,
and, either through his own careless
wording of the note or through some
body's mistake ut the agricultural de-
partment, Watterson's entire supply
Of seeds went to the old lady in Ten
nessee. There were several sacks full
OF them. In q few days letters began
to come by the score from Watterson's
own constituents, each one demanding
seeds. When he wrote to the commits
sioner of agriculture he was informed
that his supply was exhausted. He
again sought the advice of his friend,
the New York member. and explained
the situation. The New York man told
him that there was but one course to
pursue, and that was to borrow seed
from members who represented only
commercial and manufacturing dis
tricts.
From that time ON until congress
adjourned sine die, during all business
hours, Watterson devoted himself to
borrowing seeds. That is the reason
SO many people never knew that he was
in congress. He had TO borrow seed.
That is the reason, also, why Waiter
sons face wears q cast of gloom. He
used to smile as well aseany other man
before he became a congressman, and
he has smiled since. but not in Wash
ington. The sight OF the city always
affects him unpleasantly, and they say
that occasionally when he is just about
to convince some Pennsylvania con-
gresham that nothing but free trade
will now save this wretched country he
stops short in his argument, and, with
q far-away look in his eye. he asks the
loan of sack OF seed. u Washington

A number cf new houses have been

In passing through the Charlton val.
ley last week we noticed that on nearly
every farm there was small field oi
wheat The wheat looks very thrifty
and promises an abundant crop. This
valley is settled principally by German
farmers or men Of German origin from
the eastern states, which accounts for
the nice little wheat farms seen.
If the farmers in general would de.
vote more attention to raising wheat
in this country, it would be a great
gain to US, as we send several thousand
dollars out of this county each year
for flour.
/. We also noticed that Messrs Otto
and Moyey are still adding new I'M
provements and machinery to there

to encouraged the farmer by making
him as good aour as he can buy in the
markets.
This mill is an institution that de.

Meyer & Otto to do good work and
please their patrons.

Sitting Down.

1t is impossible to glance in the
most cursory manner over the current
political news without being impressed
by the greater energy, activity and
zeal Shich prevail in the Republican
camp, by The greater space and i'm
po-tance gwen the transaction and
interest of Republicanism as compared
with Democracy.
This is significant. A great deal
depends on prestige and it is very
bad portent for US to see apathy and
indifference on our side while in the
ranks of the enemy there is SO much life
and stir,
This is partly due, of course, to the
fact that the Republican convention
is nearer at hand, but this circum-
stance does not wholly explain the sit.
uation. The Democratic party must
take the aggressive. If it expects to
dislodge the enemy 1t should take the
initiative and should lead at every step
of the struggle.
The reason why 1t does not do this
i. because it does not know its own
mind. 1t looks 10 its representatives
in Congress for policy, for lire OF
of march, for a plan of action, for lead
ership. Instead of complying with
this requirement, its leaders are taking
good long rest. They are sitting on
the wrong side OF stone wall which
they can neither climb nor demollsh.
The stone wall is a Tariff Reform.
They know that there is no passing it.
They are satisfied with that. They
have had abundant proof that they
cannot move step futher in that line
of advance. So they heroicallya stop
there and spend the rest of the cam
paign in making speeches at it.
This is what is called "vindicating
their principles" by the leaders
who have lead the army up to the
stone wall. Sensible people call it
"blasted nonsense" and wonder
whether this is to be the sole and exclu-
sive policy of the whole campaign

A Town Sinking into the Earth.

CLEVELAND, April 2o.--A special
from Salinevllle says: Intense excite
ment was caused here yesterday after
noon by the discovery that large Sec
ton of the town was slowly sinking
into the earth. For many years, Saline
vile has been great coal mining cen
tire. The town stands on an immense
hill which is undermined by several
large coal banks. The ground imme-
diately over Klrk's mines was observ-
ed to crack and break in several places
and persons living in that section OF
the town were started to find their
yards and houses sinking into the
ground and also discovered that the
wells had no bottoms. A good many
people moved to safer quarters
There are no developments to-day.
1t is feared the new school, three
story structure, will be destroyed and
parents say they will not allow their
children to attend school tomorrow.
Great anxiety exists.-NeW York
