Water from Trees.

A maple tree of eight or ten inches diane
ter, well formed and growthful, has on the
average 5000 leaves on it, and it is a safe
computation to say that such a tree will
throw Off in the space Of every twelve hours
$1,000 grains weight of water. Now an acre
will easily contain 600 or 700 such trees and as
the weight of one pint of water is 1900
grains, troy weight, it will be found upon
calculation that from a single acre of forest
land 1876 gallons Of pure water are thrown
off and distributed through the body of the
surrounding atmosphere in every twelve
hours.
If this seems incredible to you, can assure
you that it seems 50 only because you have no
knowledge of trees.-W. H. H. Murray in

HADES FOR THE HEATHEN.
Stirring Address Made at the Meeting Of
the Baptist Missionary Union.

Stirring Address Made ut the Meeting OF
the Baptist Missionary Union.
Chicago dispatch: The American
Baptist Missionary union opened its sos
sion with devotional exercises. conduct
ed by Rev. A. J. Gordon of Boston, and
Rev. Mr.. Tuttle of Kansas.
The opening address was made by
Rev. George w. Northrup, the presi-
dent. He had no doubt Of the ultimate
fate Of the heather, saying that without
the gospel their souls would go down 10
an eternal death as surely as their bodies
would go down to physical death.
Mr.. Northrup made a strong plea for
organized mission work, and was listen
ed to with deep attention. He closed
with suggestion that 200 pastors,
under ~ years Of age, should come for
ward and say to the Board of the
Missionary Union "Send US to Africa.
Japan-anywhere."
Such an act, he said, would stir the
denomination to its center and move the
heart of the world. Young men from
the seminaries were not the best mis-
sionaries. Men of training, age and ex-
perience were wanted in the field.
At the close of the address DIR. North
rup announced the committees
tee showed that the union was in excel
lent condition, and that an advance of
$50, 900 in the annual expenditures with
I'm the last two years had been fully

tematic giving were gaining ground. In
regard to the colored Baptists, concern.

tions with the general convention for

In reference to cooperation with
the union. After full considerations
however, the convention had declined
TO cooperate, though the general asso-
citation of the United States had united
with the union In supporting two mis-
sionaries in the Congo. 1t was stated
that the former method OF paying mis-
sionaries, $1,000 annually for the first
three years and 1000 after that, was
inadequate, and the committee had de-
termined upon sliding scale ranging
from $500 to 81, 500 a year. During the
year thirty-three new missionaries had
been sent out and three new mission
stations had been established.
The report Of the Treasurer, e. p.
Coleman, showed that the receipts for
the year had been $3.50, ,527, OF which
rent expenses and SISTED had been
added to the permanent fund.
