Brutes are constructed so as to look
down. Evon those earthly creatures
that have wings when they rise from
tho earth still look down, and the eagle
searches for mice in the grass and tho
raven for carcasses in the field. Man
alone Is made to look up. To induce
him to look up God makes tho sky a

all that German or French or italian
art ever accomplished. But God has
failed so far TO attract tho attention OF
most of us by the scenery OF the sky.
We go into rapturcs over flowers in tho

OF tho morning glories" that bloom on
the wall of the sky at sunrise, or the
dahlias in the clouds ut sunset We are
in ec3tacics over Gobelin tapestry. or

walls OF mist that the face of tho Cats
kills. or tho swaying upholstery around
the couch of the dying day, or the snow

four inches and open tho two telescopes,
which under the forehead arc put on
swivels easily turned upward. and sec
that the clouds are not merely uninter-
csting signs OF wet or dry weather. but
that they are embroidered canopies OF

OF the sky; that they are thrones of
pomp; that they are crystalline bowers;
that they arc paintings in water coldvs;
that they arc the angels OF the mist;
that they are great cathedrals of light
with broad aisles for angelic feet to
walk through and bow at affairs of am

Improvements in Passenger Cars.

The Wagner Palace Car Company Is revo.
lutionizing the equipment of it's cars aud
making them superior TO anything OF the
kind In the world. One of tho greatest inn
p-ovements is the lighting of the cars with
gas. The New York Central a. Hudson
River Railroad Company is also equipping
It's passenger coaches with gas. About one
hundred of them running out OF New York
City have been so equipped. The gas is com
pressed in n cylinder under each car, and
one filling OF a cylinder will last the round
trip between New York and Chicago. The
gas Is made from petroleum, and furnishes
