SAVED BY A HYMN.
Conductor stilwelrs Narrow Escape from Death at Chatsworth.

Conductor stilwelFs Narrow Escape from Death at Chntsworth.
 Conductor J. ". Stilwell said, while speaking of the Chatsworth disaster in which three hundred people were killed or wounded, that his life was saved by the familiar hymn Nearer, My God, to Thee" As the train approached the fatal railway culvert Mr Stilwell was taking up tickets in car in which there were sixty-two passengers of both sexes and all ages. In the car were five young ladies seated in close prox- unity to each other, and as the train swept forward in the darkness they sang the old hymn which is ono of the most plaintive and touching of musical productions. One beautiful girl in the first blush of womanhood sang the verse of the hymn alone and her companions joined in the chorus. The hour was 80 appropriate for such music that every ear in the car was turned to catch therefrain, and tho conductor stopped with his hand on the knob of tho rear door of the car until the clear voices of the singers had com pleted the chorus. As tho last words died away the crash came, and fifty eight living beings in that car wero hurled to eternity. Had he gone out he would have been creshed between the ears. .-- Denver (CoL News.

CHURCHES IN LONDON.
Things That Strike the Average American
 as Peculiar.

as Peculiar.
 There is an uncommon number of churches in London; they arc marvel ously common objects. They are almost all stone. and railed in with granite posts and iron fences Two things about the Episcopal churches (which are in the majority strike an American as pe- culiar. One is that fire apparatus is often stored in the little inclosures, so that up against dingy church wall you see bright rcd ladder or flaming tool or hose cart The fire ladders are on wheels. Church-yards are sometimes regular fire stations, and in such cases a red lantern is hung on the railings at night with the words Fire Station gIaring in it's lighted front The other peculiar thing about the churches is that public notices and placards are posted on the doors and railings. There you read the tax ratings for the parish, and that marriage licenses arc obtainable somewhere on the premises, and that men are wanted for the army, and stolzers will got good pay in the navy Tn these notices the branch of the pub lie service that calls for recruits usually posts colored picture of tho uniform of that wing of the service, chromos that are intended to look very alluring. We Americans are reminded by this treat ment of the houses of worship that per haps it was not so strange, after all, for the British to use the churches in New York and Boston for garrisons and pris- ons. and whatever else they needed them for during the revolutionary war. Where church and state are joined, the state puts the meeting to it's own ses.-Julian Ralph, in Harper's Weekly.

No Exercise Produces as Good Results as
Does Running.

No Exercise Produces as Good Results as
Does Running.
Exercises of strength lead rapidly to
an increase in the size of the thorax. 1t
is the same with exercises of speed
when they need very energetic move
ments. No exercise develops the chest
as rapidly as does running, unless it be
wrestling.
Mountaineers all have large chests.
and the Indians who live on the plateaus
of the Cordillera in the Andes have
been noted for the extraordinary size of
their chests. This great development
in mountaineers is due to two causes
which act in the same direction: fire.
quent ascent of steep inclines, and con-
slant residence of great heights at which
the air is rarefied. The climbing of these
slopes needs a great quantity of work,
which causes increase of the respiratory
need; respiration in rarefied atmos-
phere obliges a man to take deeper
breaths in order to supplement, by the
quantity of air breathed, the sufficiency
OF its vivifying properties.
Singers, with no other exercise but
singing, acquire great respiratory power
and remarkable increase in the dimen-
siOnS of their chests.
Numerous observations prove that it
is enough voluntarily to take certain
number of deep breaths every day, to
produce, in short time, an increase in
the circumference of the chest which
may amount to two or three centimeters.

Science Monthly.

AN IDEAL STEAMSHIP.
Designed to Cross the Atlantic in Three and
q Half DAYS.

Designed to Cross the Atlantic In Three and
a Half Days.
Drawings and propositions for new
style of fast ocean steamship appear in
the American Mail and Export Journal.
Civil Engineer B. Schieldrop, the author
of the proposed new greyhound, claims
that it will be able to raise the record OF
speed across the Atlantic from twenty
one to thirty-four knots an hour. This
would admit of voyages between Queens
town and Sandy Hook in three days and
thirteen hours.
Mr.. Schieldrop claims that in the
fundamental principles upon which the
modern transatlantic steamers are built
and operated no real advance has been
made since the Savannah crossed in
1919. He thinks that the trouble has
been that the same boat has been "a
mail conveyance, hotel, barn and
warehouse" all in one. He proposed to
build, upon special model, vessel for
frst-class passengers and speed, which
will possess the maximum of speed and
space with the minimum of weight and
displacement. By removing cargo space
of the vessel now in use he proposes to
tighten the structure of the hull and
still keep it submerged to the same wa
ter line. This would give the hull a
shallow and broad upper part and mar
row and deep lower part. 1t might be
described as combination of the center
board type in the upper and an English
cutter in the lower part.
AS regards stability the new vessel
will prove mean between the cutter
and the center-board type. He claims
that on account of it's fullness above
the water line his plan will insure dry
deck both amidships and at the extrem-
tiles. The upper deck will be devoted to
a spacious library, ladies' cabin, smok-
ing saloon and music room. The main
deck will be taken up by dining sa-
loon, an elegant after cabin and several
high-priced staterooms. The dining sa-
loon will seat $50 person comfortably.
The entire lower deck will be divided
into state rooms of different dimensions
All Of the modern conveniences will
be at hand, and cleanliness, it is
claimed, can be more thoroughly Sc
cured IMAM III SGeerage passengers ana
freight were carried. The entire vessel
will be lighted by electricity and each
apartment will be placed in connection
with a central system of ventilation,
which will supply pure air in such guam
titles as may be required, and cold or
hot, as the season may call for. Mr..
Schieldrop says that his method would
be thoroughly American, as it would be
in reality a fast limited express transit
with Pullman accommodations Y.

SUCCESS IN WORK.
A Medical Mans Recipe for Winning an
Enyiable Reputation.

Enyiable Reputation.
Sir Andrew Clark, one of the most sue
cessful and distinguished of English
physicians, has recently had portrait
OF himself presented by the staff of the
London Hospital. In his speech reply
ing to the presentation address Sir
Andrew gave some account of his life
and of the causes of his professional sue
cess. His story deserves perusal. Sir
Andrew was born in Scotland and went
to London thirty-six years ago, young
man in delicate health, and without
single friend or influential connection
He had, however, small patrimony,
and was enabled to pursue the study of
pathology, and to keep himself quite
free from any intrigues or quarrels. He
devoted himself to work, and before
many years. despite i'll health and op-
position, he was made physician to
London Hospital. His subsequent sue
cess was slow but continuous, and was
achieved without any definite expecta-
ton at first that it would eventually be
so brilliant. Sir Andrew gave the fol-
lowing as some of the conditions neces-
sary for success in medicines:
Firstly" he said, II believe that
every mans success is within himself,
and must come out of himself. No true.
abiding and just success can come to any
man in any other way. Secondly, man
must be seriously in earnest. He must
act with singleness of heart and pur-
pose, he must do with all his might and
with all his concentration of thought
the one thing at the one time which he
is called upon to do. And if some of nv
young friends should say here: Il can
not do that can not love work. then
l answer that there is a certain remedy,
and it is work. Work in spite of your
self, and make the habit of work. and
when the habit of work is formed it will
be TRANSPORTED into the love of work;
and at last you will not only abhor idle
ness, but you will have no happiness
out of work which then you are con-
strained from love to do. The man must
be charitable, not censorius-self
ing, not self-seeking; and he must try
at once to think and to do the best for
his rivals and antagonists that can be
done The man must believe that labor
is life, that successful labor is life and
gladness, and that successful labor, with
high aims and just objects, will bring to
him the fullest trueSt and happiest life
that can be lived upon the earth.'-

THE HUMAN FAMILY.
How 1t Is ID stributed Over the Earth.
Surface.

Surface.
The human family living to-day on
earth consists of about 1,45O, 900, 900 in
dividuals; not less, probably more.
These are distributed over the earth's
surface so that now there is no consider
able part where man is not found. In
Asia, where he was first planted, there
are now approximately about 500, 200, 900,
densely crowded; on an average about
1870 to the square mile. In Europe there
are 350,000,000, averaging 100 to the
square mile-not so crowded, but every
where dense and at all points over
populated. In Africa there are 21O, O0O,-
900. In America. North and South
there are 100000, relatively thinly
scattered and recent. In the islands,
large and small, probably 10000, OOO
The extremes of the white and black
are as five to three; the remaining 7O0,-
100000 intermediate brown and tawny
OF the race, 500, 900, 900 are well clothed,
that is, wear garments of some kind to
cover their nakedness; 700, 900, 900 are
semi-clothed, covering inferior parts of
their body; 250,0O0, 900 are practically
naked. Of the race 500, 1000, 900 live in
houses partly furnished with the APP
pointments of civilization; 100000, 0O0
in huts or caves with no furnishings;
260,003,000 have nothing that can be
called a home, are barbarous and savage.
The range is from the topmost round
the AngloSaxon civilization, which is
5he highest known-down to naked saw
agery. The portion of the race lying
below the line of human condition is at
the very least three-ffths of the whole

ether "boy"-for in Ireland a male con-

Of family-plays the game. 1t is held,
too. that it is the favorite game of the
fairies. There is scarcely village in
all Ireland where you can not find some
veracious old gentleman or dame will
ing to tell of the games they have seen
the good people, all dressed in green
playing on some green hillside in the
gray of the evening or in the moon
light.
But, folklore aside, it Is certain that
the game is as ancient as any that can
be named, and that it was played before
the beginning of the Christian era.
Hurting as game is simple enough.
The Irish used to call it barre, as they
called the goal-keeper cul6air, and the
hurly or stick used in the game was
called canaan. To the average Ameri-
can unused to the game it seems at first
to partake of some of the qualities of
football, hockey, lacrosse and polo. It
is exciting, too, for it Is game that
calls forth great activity, and when
played by two full teams there are
about twice as many men engaged as
there are in a matched game Of foot
ball, and when these get mixed up in a
melee over the small ball used the thing
is likely to become exciting. There are
opportunities for some pretty rough
play, too. In the game of football the
most the hotrheaded players can Do
