THE ASTRONOMY OF TIE BIBLE.

THE ASTRONOMY OF THE BIBLE.
Oh, what mercy it is that in the
text and all up and down the Bible
God induces us to look out toward
other words! Bible astronomy in
Genesis, in Joshua, in Job, sin the
Psalms, in the prophets, major and
minor; in St. Johns Apocalypse,
practically saying: Worlds worlds!
worlds! Get ready for them!' We
have nice little world here that we
stick to, as though losing that we
lose all. We are afraid of falling off
this little raft of a world. We are
afraid that some meteoric iconoclast
Will some nightsmash it, and we want
everything to revolve around it, and
are disappointed when we find that
it revolves around the sun instead of
the sun revolving around it. What
q fuss we make about this little bit
of world, its existence only a short
time between two spasms, the par
oxysm by which it was hurled from
chaos into order, and the paroxysm
of its demolition.
And I am glad that so many texts
call us to look off to other worlds,
many of them larger and grander
and more resplendent- Look there, +"
says Job, "at Nazareth and Arcturus
and his sons!" Look there, says
St. John. "at the moon under Christ's

A Timely Reminder.

An amusing travel story comes
from Greece. A party of English
tourists in search of the picturesque
were being conducted over a very
dangerous mountain pass, when, at a
particularly dangerous part of the
journey, where the narrow path led
along the top of precipitous preci-
pice. the chief guide called a halt.
81 have stopped you" said the man
in question, in bad French. because
this is the very spot where, ten years
ago, an Englishman who was being
conducted by me fell over and was
killed.
81 was arrested and condemned for
my negligence to fifteen years i'm
prison1nent. But I was released
when had served half that time in
consequence of my good behavior in
jail. London Figaro.

Skill in the Wrist.

It is wonderful what part the wrist
plays in exercises in which physical skill
and delicacy are required. After man
learns to play billiards well enough to
be familiar with the cushions and the
English, the important thing to cultivate
is his stroke. 1t is the hardest thing
about billiard playing to get a good
stroke, and sometimes the greatest play
ers '.fall down" because they lose con-
troll of it. Now, the stroke wholly de-
ponds on the action of the wrist. Jake
SchaeGer, OF any good player, will make
a shot of seven cushions with less APP
parent force than a beginner will exert
in getting three. This is due to the SUI
perior wrist movement.
It's the same way with violin playing.
The quality and touch all depend ON
wrist manipulation. So with curving a
baseball. Great pitchers always work
strong wrist movement on the ball as it
leaves the hand. If they didn't it
wouldn't curve at all.-St. Louis Globe

Big Field Guns and Their Effect.

If you insist on high velocity you have
to add so much additional machinery to
your gun carriage and have to so greatly
strengthen its construction that you
destroy it's mobility, while even if you
gain long range you are still unable to
make use of your most efficient projec-
tile at it. Moreover, since the remain
ing velocity of its shrapnel is truer
measure of the value of gun than its
initial velocity, and the two are by no
means directly proportional, it does not
follow that we benefit as much as we
might expect by submitting to these
disadvantages. Thus, the 12-pounder
has an initial velocity of over 1,700 feet
per second and a remaining velocity at
5000 yards of s62 feet; while tho
13-pounder, with an initial velocity of
only 1860 feet, has at the same range a
remaining velocity greater by six feet
per second than that of its rival.
One of our highest authorities on field
artillery has, indeed, recorded his opin-
ion. that, as regards the efficiency Of
shrapnel, we gain nothing by the in
creased muzzle velocity of the best field
gun in Europe" at all practical ranges.
Moreover, it is the attempt to squeeze
out the last few extra feet that does all
the harm.-London Saturday Review.

Modern Education.

With oil its novel modern powers and
practical sense l am forced to admit that
the purely scientific brain is miserably
mechanical; it seems to have become
splendid sort of self directed machine,
an incredible automaton, grinding on
with its analysis or constructions. Bit
for pure sentiment, for all that spon-
taneous Greek waywardness of fancy,
for the temperature of passion and tho
subtler thrill of ideality, you might as
well look to wrought iron derrick.
Science found education laundering
peacefully along, cultivating half of the
mind with charming results and letting
the other die of disuse; it worked the
startling miracle of electrifying this
dead half into life and bringing it to
perfect activity, and straightway, salts
fed with this remarkable achievement,
it proceeded to neglect the ideal half
which the classics had made SO much of
and caused it to perish. 1t has substi-
tuted new sort of half MAI for the old
one.-Clarence King in Forum.

Washing Little Indians.

We were camped at the Hot Springs
on the 10 Lo trail, made famous in In
dian annals by the escape of Chief Jo-
seph and his band of Nez Perces. Just
above us was Il large camp of Flatheads
who were making their fall hunt. One
morning we were awakened by shouts
and cries. Evidently there was great
excitement somewhere, and we promptly
jumped up. 1t was just after daylight.
and cold clouds of steam were rising
from the big basin shaped pool at tho
foot of the granite wall, from which
poured thick stream of boiling water.
The pool was so large that at the lower
edge the water was almost cold. Tho
nearer you approached to the place
where the water burst from the rock the
better chance you stood of getting boiled.
At the edge, at 4 point where the water
was of a comfortable temperature, stood
two Indians, one on the bank and the
other on stone in the water. Near by
were dozen other Indians guarding
number of little Indian boys and girls
who had nothing on and were bowling
and crying.
When we looked ont of the tent the
two Indians at the pool had an Indian
boy, one holding him by the feet the
other. by the hands, and were gravely
swinging him backward and forward
through the warm water, while he yelled
at every dip. AS soon as they had fin
ished with him he was set upon the bank,
and run to the willow brush near by.
Then the noise redoubled, for each
child in the group guarded by the In
dams feared that it was his turn. They
all tried to escape to the brush, but their
elders pursued and caught them, unit.
the very last one had been put through
the cleansing process.-New York Sun.

When Pens Were First Used.

About the year 600 A. D. pens made
of quills were introduced. This is
shown by the fact that the word pen
ma, a quill, is not found, it is claimed,
in any work bearing an earlier date.
Previous to that time the word GALA
mus, signifying reed, was exclusive
ly. employed as designation for the
vehicle used in transferring the ink
to the parchment or other surface Sc
lected by the writers of that early
age. Steel pens first came into use
in 1903 and about twenty-five years
later those composed of gold made
their appearance : Detroit AFo

Good Story About a saco Lawye

A Saco lawyer lost his Office key and
with it, on the same bunch, the keys to
his safe and house.
There is a spring lock on his Office
door, and he concluded that he must
have left it in his Office and have come
out and locked the door. He accord
ingly borrowed a long ladder and
crawled through the back window Of
his Office.
No keys were to be seen, and after
cogitating over the peculiar state of af-
fairs he at last let himself out, and there
on the outside of the lock were hanging
the keys.-Bangor (Me.) Commercial
