Science and Immortality

From the Christmas Century we quote
as follows from an article by Prof. Du
Bols OF Yale, on Science and Immortal
ity:" Mastery of self can be attained
only in a world where temptation and sin
are possible, were voluntary disobedence is
the outcome of ignorant transgression.
These are necessary to the end; not mere
ly allowed, but designed. The purpose of
such a world is plain 10 read. 1t seems
that not happiness here is the end for
which we are to arrive. That is means
to help US, to encourage US, to lead US on.
Not the avoidance OF pain is the end
There is also means to warn Us, to guide
US, if needs be to compel US. But the
great erd which science itself is forced
to recognize is the mastery of self through
the struggle with sin and temptation, and
the formation of a PERSONAL---VERY. char
acter self-attained, of spiritual influence
in the midst of a universe governed by
S CHI influence which, disciplined by pain
and trial, strengthened by the sweet uses
of adversely, guided by reason and knowl
edge, voluntarily brought into accord with
supreme will through the desire sof sin it.

THE DAYS WORK.
ALL THE YEAR ROUND.

Do thy days work, my dear,
Though fast and dark the clouds are drifting
near,
Though time has little left for hope and very
much for fear.
Do thy days work, though
The hand must falter and the head must bow,
And far above the falling foot shows the bold
mountain brow.
Yet there is left for Us,
Who on the valleys verge stand, trembling
thus
LIGHT that lies far in the west-soft, faint, but
luminous.
We can give kindly speech,
And ready, helping hand to all and each, -
And patience to the young around us, by smiling
silence teach.
We can give gentle thought,
And charity by ifes long lesson taught
And wisdom, from old faults lived down, by toll
and failure wrought.
We can give love, unmarried
BY selfish snatch at happiness, unjarred
BY the keen aims for power or Joy that make
youth cold and hard
And if gay hearts reject
The gifts we hold - would fain fare on I'M
checked
On the bright roads that scarcely weld all tn at
young eyes expect,
Why, do thy days work still,
The calm, deep founts of love are slow to chill;
And heaven may yet the harvest yield, the work
worn hands TO fill

LUMBER CUTTING MACHINE.
For Cutting Instead of Saving Lumber
Leaving it Smooth as if Planned


A new device for cutting lumber in saw
mills was recently exhibited at Green
point, L. l., which, It's inventors claim,
will revolutionize the saw mill business.
Instead of saving, the machine cuts the
lumber with knives, saving waste and
turning out lumber which, 1t is stated, is
as smooth as surfaced lumber.
This remarkable machine is the inven-
tion of DR.. Bradley, of New York city,
and Thomas Crane, of Newark, n. J. who
claim to have experimental for Eve years
with the result of perfecting a machine
that will cut forty boards a minute from
a saw log and drop them as smooth as if
they had been planned in the most careful
manner. The reports sent out by tele
graph to the daily papers state that the
machine is capable of cutting boards
from one-thirty-second of an inch in
thickness up to an inch. The invention is
described as follows: mo saw is used,
the wood being cut with knife placed on
a slide, with another slide above it and
getting its weight from very
heavy cross head connecting with a
rod. Just in front of the knife is a
narrow roller, which touches the log be.
fore the knife reaches it and steadies it.
The knife gets its horizontal motion from
this connecting rod and it slides back and
forth easily. The difficulty was to get a
vertical or draw motion in order not to
injure the fibre Of the wood. 1t was pro-
vided for in this way: Above the upper
slide is drrm, which is moved by wire
rope back and forth as The cross head and
the knife move; the drum is connected
by wires with spring that hangs directly
ever the knife, and as the drum revolves
the spring contracts or Iengthens giving
the draw motion. The log that is being
cut is held by clamps to feeding machine.
The machine and the cutter are both run
by the same engine. Every time the
knife cuts off quarter of an inch or
whatever the desired thickness may be,
the log is pushed upward just that quar-
ter of an inch When the machine is in
operation it looks very much like d big
knife running In a groove and cutting
cheese"
If the machine thus cuts and planes the
wood at one operation, with no loss in
either sawdust or shavings, it certainly
will have tendency to revolutionize lum-
ber-cuttlng and the human ear may no
more be cheered by the sound of the in
dustrious buzz saw.-Ex.

THE BRIDGE OF SIGHS.
A Night Impression on witnessing this
Beautiful Bridge.


Beautiful Bridge.
In five minutes we had picked our way
through the labyrinth of surrounding
gondolas, and in FIVE more had entered
the close, narrow canal, where the beau
tiful bridge, buttressed by two great
masses of gloom-th palace and the
prison-overhung the sluggish, sullen
water.
There is never lantern now along this
weird and grewsome waterway. One only
sees the twinkling lamps of the gondolas,
like will-o'-the wisps, drift past-the boats
themselves lost in the blackpess of the
shadows the glimmer of the pale light of
of the stars above. All else is dark and
ghostiy.

the bass viol who was standing, twisted
a light cord through an iron ring in the

WE SLEEP BIT BY BIT.
Instead of Slumbering All Over We Go to
Sleep by Sections.


Sleep by Sections.
According to the best writer's on the
subject it has been assert aimed that in be-
ginning to sleep the senses do not unitedly
fail into state of slumber, but drop off
one after the other. The sight ceases. in
consequence of the protection of the eye
lids, to receive impressions first, while all
the other seEses preserve their sensibility
entire.
The sense of taste is next which loses its
susceptA bility to impressions, and then the
sense of smelling. The hearing is next
In order, and last of all comes the sense
OF touch. Furthermore. the senses are
thought to sleep with different degrees of
prOfoundness.
The sense of touch sleeps the most light
II and is the most easily awakened, says
the New York Journal. The next easiest
is the hearing; the next is the sight and
the taste and smelling awake last. An
other remarkable circumstance deserves
nOtice-certain muscles and parts of the
body begin to sleep before others.
Sleep commences at the eXtremities, be-
ginning with the feet and legs and creep
ing toward the center of the nervous ac-
ton. The necessity for keeping the feet
warm and perfectly still as a preliminary
Of sleep is well known.
From these explanations it will not ap-
pear, surprising that, with one or more Of
the senses, and perhaps also with one or
more parts of the body, imperfectly asleep
there should be at the same time an i'm
perfect kind of mental action which pr
duces the phenomenon of dreaming.
