CURIOUS SPRINGS.

A Dip In Warm Spring at Bann,

so far as warmth was concerned, as if
had been sitting at the hotel fireside.
and though the temperature was but
little below blood heat the bath con-
ferred something OF the pleasure that
II swimmer feels in butfeting with
breakers. The immediate effect is
bracing, and while those who remain
long in the water say that they feel
lassitude and enervation afterward,
l experienced nothing OF the kind,
though I swan about for not less than
twenty minutes. The presence OF lime
and sulphur makes the water at least
as dense as that OF the sea, and the
bather feels more buoyant and swims
with slighter effort than in fresh
water. Though dispieasing to the
nostrils, 1t does not.offend the taste;
and if, by chance. it gets into the
nose or throat, it does not nauseate. as
salt und river waters are apt TO
do. At two or three points the surface
is marked by currents rising from be-
low, and over the spot where the
boiling was most perceptible descend
ed, staying down as long as I could
hold my breath. AT that point the
pool was about seven feet deep, and the
bottom was formed, for foot or so, of
dark sand. In this I could work my
way down, slowly and slightly, but tho
earth was unwilling TO receive me,
and it was easier to float than sink in
the heavy water while there was air
in the lungs, so l bobbed to the top

attendant told me that when the water
was drawn off he had been able to
lower himself into the sand to the
armpits and he had less trouble in
getting out, with the gush of wate..
than he had in getting down. Tile

Newspaper obituaries are not always
written on the spur of the moment. In
fact, the reverse, as a rule. is the
case, and the lives of great men or
other personages are written by the
hand Of the journalistic biographer
long before death knocks at the door.
In every important newspaper Office
in the United States is a department
devoted to the preparation and prcser-
vation of the biographers OF promi-
nent people and where they are
available for immediate use. and
where memoirs, shorter or longer, ac-
cording to the public Importance OF
the subject, are regularly classified
and "pigeon-holed. ready for use
when the fatal moment arrives. From
time to time these records are added to
and brought up to date for the purpose
of avoiding confusion or delay in case
that the biography is to be made use Of
ut brief notice. To large part of
the public this information will be in
the nature OF news and will serve to
explain to their wondering minds how
two Or three column obituary Of
some public man appears in the daily
papers i'll conjunction with the an
nouncemcnt of his sudden death.
1t is curious fact that the practice
of writing obituaries OF great men
seems almost invariably to have the
effect OF keeping them alive. At any
rate they rarely die verv soon after
their biographies are written, and
very frequently many years elapse be-
sore their death gives an opportunity
for their posthumous praises to be
founded.

Under the Earth.

The workmen in the deepest mines
of Europe swelter In almost intoler-
able heat, and yet they have not PEN
etrated over one seren-thousandth
part OF the distance from the surface
to the center OF the earth. In the lower
levels OF some OF the ComstOck mines
the men fought scalding hot water,
and could labor only three or four
hours at time until the Sutro tunnel
pierced the mines and drew of some
of the terrible heat. which had stood
at 12O degrees. The deepest boring
ever made, that at Sperenberg, near
Berlin, penetrates only 4,127 feet,
about 1000 feet deeper than the Ia
nous artesian we'll ut St. Louis.
While borings and mines reveal TO US
only few secrets relating solely to
the temperature and constitution OF
the earth for few thousand feet be-
low the surface, we are able, by means
of volcanoes, to form some notion OF
what is going on at greater depths.
There have been many theories afout
the causes Of volcanoes, but 1t 1s now
generally held that though they are
produced by the intense heat OF the
Interior Of the earth they are not d.
rectly connected with the molten mass
that lies many miles below the lmme-
6iate sources Of volcanic energy.
Everybody knows. that many rocks are
formed on the floor of the ocean, and
it has been found that n twentieth to
a seventh OF their weight is made up
of imprisoned water. Now. these
rocks are buried in time under over
laying strait, which serve us blan-
ket to keep in the enormous heat OF
the interior. This heat turns the
water into super-heated steam, which
melts the hardest rocks, and when the
steam finds fssure in the strata
above, it breaks through to the sur
face with terrific energy, and we have
a volcano. We find that these out
pourings that have lain for countless
ages many thousand feet below the
surface are well adapted to serve the
purpose of man. Many a vineyard
fiourishes on the volcanic ashes from
yesuyius, and volcanic mud has
clothed hills OF New Zealand with fine
forests and its plains with luxuriant
verdure. The mGst wonderful display
of the results OF Volcanic energy Is
seen in tho northw, Hstern corner OF
our own land, region Of lofty forests
and Of great fertility. -Iaaln'od''e

It's sometimes said patent
medicines are for the igno-
rant. The doctors foster this
idea.
"The people," we're told,
"are mostly ignorant when it
comes to medical science"
Suppose they are! What
a sick man needs is not knowl-
edge, but a cure, and the medi-
cine that euyes is the medicine

only do as ! direct"
Perhaps it fails occasionally.
The makers hear of it when it
does, because they never keep
the money when the medicine
fails to do good.

Ninereh Broueht to Repentnnee.

A very interesting discussion was based
upon the lesson "Niueyeh Brought to Re-
pentance" in Mrs, Cooper's Bible Glass
yesterday at the First Congregational
Church. Tho word of the Lord came to
Jonah second time. 81 am glad" said the
teacher, that the word of the Lord comes
again and again to the hayward and the
disobedient. This gives US all chance to
become penitent and obedient. The prophet
was told to Go speak the message that
bid thee He was to carry the message to
100000 souls in Nineveh-a pretty large con-
tract to fill. But what God tells us to do he
will always help us TO do. There Is such
thing as being made strong in the Lord and
in the power of his might" Mrs. Cooper
went on to say that there are ranges of
power in every individual that are never
unfolded. The Doblest part of US is left uu-
developed. There are great spiritual posi-
bilitieS that are left latent and undiScloSed.
just as in the physical and mental domain
we see what can be achieved by those who
strive to develop their powers, so also in
the spiritual domain those who strive after
spiritual attainment will not fail to achieve
like the laws Of the material harvest-we
reap what we SOW.
Jonah gave the message to Nineveh and
the people felt the power of the truth and
repented. Like the prodigal they returned
to their fathers house. Wehaye all sinned.
We all need to repent People who have
lived this story of Jonah, who have run
away from duty, have repented and been
forgiven, will need no Bible dictionary to
explain it all to them. They will get at the
spiritual meaning of things.

the honorable gentleman.
- i well remember how, when but poor
country lad, made my confession of faith
TO the good old minister, who instantly
grasped me by the hand and said, God bless
you! You will never regret it, feel that
clasp OF the old mans hand even now.
Mr.. Wanamaker then condemned the
eowardce which prompts young people not
to jolt a Bihle-clasS because so many be-
lieye it sign of weakness, and after ex-
posing the fallaey Of popular thought In
that respect showed it was duty we owed
to God whom we should not rob Of his
rights.
Reverting again to the advantages to he
derived from the Y. NJ. c. A., he said: 1T
lets the big man out of the boy, helps to
develop all that is good in him, extends the
hand of fellowship, and ever points out the
right path. This is what it is doing to-day.

WORTHY EXAMPLES TO FOLLOW
After describing the work accomplished
by the Philadelphia Association and the
London Polytechnic, the speaker came
back to the need of the local institution for
funds, and urged that the meeting take hold
of the difficulty right there and subscribe
the $4,000 needed TO commence operations.
EIe hoped to hear before leaving San Fran
and after such good beginning there would
be no difficulty about the balance.
The concluding portion of the address was
devoted to sketch OF the lives Of Lord
Salisbury and Mr. Gladstone. men who are
as eminent for their deep religious convic-
tions as they are for kindness, charity and
craftsmanship. These were held up to the
young men present as examples well worthy
of imitation. Then, after reference to the
possibilities afforded by our glorious country
with its fertile soil. eQuable climate, Spleu-
did government, and everything to make il
the happiest and most prosperous of nations,
unless our OwR eonceit spoilS us, the elo-
quent gentleman said but one thing was
needed-direction, which can only be found
in Gods book.
Hearty cheers followed the speaker as he
left the roStrum. Then the national anthem
was sung by choir and audience, and at the
close benediction was pronounced by Rev.
S.V. Leach, and the proceedings terminated.
