Why the Geysers Spout.

Bunsen has explained the periodical erup-
ton of geysers in such a satisfactory man
ner that doubt is no longer possible. A
cavern filled with water lies deep in the
earth. under the geyser, and The water in
this cavern is heated by the earth's internal
heat far above 1922 since there is heavy
hydrostatic pressure upon it, arising from
the weight of water in the passage. or nat
ural stand pipe, that leads from the subter-
ranean chamber to the surface of the earth.
After certain time the temperature of the
water below rises. so that steam is given off
in spite of the pressure. and the column in
the exit tube is gradually forced upward.
The release of pressure and the disturbance
of the water then cause the contents of the
subterranean chamber to flash into stesm,
and expel the contents of the exit-pipe
violently. These eruptiOns may olsO be
provoked by throwing stones or Gods Of
turf into the basin of the geyser. The wa
ter in the cavern below is disturbed by this.

Chapel Services.

Very few visitors attended chapel services last
Sunday The choir singing was exceptionally good.
Rev. J. 81. Albert took for his text the sixth
verse of the twelfth chapter of Matthew-"But
say unto you, That in this place is one greater
than the temple" The chaplain said that we
find. as we read the Gospels. that Christ and the
Scribes and Pharisees were always antagonizing
each other. Christ opposed ignored the old
Jewish customs and doctrines He offended the
prejudices of the Pharisees and thereby brought
upon Himself charges of being blasphemer.
These charges of blasphemy are commonly re-
garded as trumpet up charges. but if we take into
consideration the religious views held by the
Pharisees we will see that they had some grounds
for their charges. Christ offended against the old
Hebraic Sabbath law. To the Jews it was a day
sacred to God. 1t was day that God had re-.
served for himself and they had nothing what
ever to do with it or any part in it. Christ came
and said that the day not sacred in and of it.
self. that it was made for man and not for God
any more than other days. The Scribes and
Pharisees would do no work. would not so much
as prepare food on the Sabbath day. but Christ
said that the day should be for the wel.being of
man. He preached that the world was made for
man and that man was the only sacred thing in
the world. The Pharisees judged everything by
outside appearances. They regarded strict out.
ward show of obedience to the law as sufficient.
but Christ came and said to them. I'VE are like
unto whited sepulchers. which indeed appear
beautiful outward, but are within full of dead
mems bones" He said men and not the law were
sacred. They regarded the temple sacred, and
they became sacred through it. But Christ taught
that God loved men in proportion they loved
their fellow men and their God. that men were
more sacred than the temple. In brief. Pharisa-
ism stood for institutionalism Christ stood for
men. The religions of all ancient peoples may be
said to have been mere institutionalism. Christ
came and upset the old doctrines of Institutional
ism and the movement He set on foot has con.
tinued to grow from that day to this. If we look
over the world we can see that movement for the
elevation Of men above institutions going on with
greater energy than ever before.

Make a Fortune First: Write After

In a letter written shortly before his
death, Mr. Parton illustrated his views on
the financial side of authorship by saying:
AN industrious writer. by the legitimate
exercise of his calling-that is. never writ
ing advertisements or thrash for the sake Of
pay-can just exist, no more. BY COM
promise, not dishonOrable, although eXas-
perating, he can average during his best
years 81. 200 to So 600 year. But no man
should enter the literary life unless he has
fortune. or can live contentedly on So, 600
year. The best way is to make fortune
first and write afterwards. Christian

A GOOd Suggestion from COmrade Regarding fks
Cherokee Strip.

A Go0d Suggestion from q COmrade Regarding tks
Cherokee Strip.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I have LoeR
been q reader of your valuable paper and have
always admired its advocacy of soldiers FtghR,
and often think that if it were not for Il, Suah
laws as have been made might have been aver
looked and the boys that saved this our mOsb
noble Government forgotten entirely. Rs8
there is one thing that seems to me has bean
almost entirely unnoticed by our Lawmakers
and comrades, and l will make a suggestion,
and ask you to give it a conspicuous place In
your columns. The Government promised
each and every man that would enlist 20 help
save our country when in danger, q quarter
section of land. This guarantee was Rad0
without any qualification whatever. But After
we have performed our part OF the cOntyEGs,
then Uncle Sam comes forward with quallG-
cation, and tells US that BY our taking eur fsmi-
lies out on the wild praries aud there live Ava
years, deducting the time we served, 70 can
have the land. This provision, think. should
have been made before we had performed cur
part of the contract. This is not the only ia
stance that may be mentioned where the Gov.
ment has failed to make good her promises.
Now comrades, j viii suggest plan Ia tAs
Uncle Sam home matter.
We all know that the Cherokee ssr4a, As
well as some other land, is to be soon open fag
settlement. Now, let every c0mrade that lives
II q lOy3l state urge DIS NOnE re53L2en h2a
Senators to frame aud support bill 20 slow al
honorably discharged soldiers or sailors shs
privilege Of selecting their land 30 days pre-
ViOus to q general settlement and after ding
their land claims have their patent issued afssT
living on it one year. The greater portion Of
the old soldiers have not enough to take them
there, and then be obliged to live there three
or four years, and it is very foolish in them 70
try unless they have considerable means. This
/ know from experience. Unless something Of
this kind is done this land will not be available
to but few of the old soldiers, and those few
are the ones that are near BY, aud are fortunaes
10 have means enough to DO so and then many
of them will find themselves worse OF bafOga
they have lived the required time on shsas
land than they were before they started.
Comrades, this plan looks plausible TO me,
and like justice to the soldiers, "a many arc
not able to go with the rush that will follow
the opening proclamation. Let as set abous 10
at once and see il something cannot Do done
for US, as this is about the last chance We viii
