| HACDLhN OIL Of CAMP
was like fire in their bones. It was not
cold, intellectual reasoning; it was 70
bust believing, and like an electric bolt
1t went from the preachers heart to the
hearers, And all the surroundings were
calculated to excite the emotions. Even
now can shut my eyes and see the old
camp ground of 1S5l-2-the square in
closed by the log tents, the tall trees
and overshadowing canopy formed by
the dense foliage Of August, the rude
log pulpit in front Of the preacher
tent, in front of it the open space
'around the altar" and then the long
rows of seats under the trees, on which
the numerous candles in tin brackets
fiared and sputtered, casting a funereal
glare upon the intense faces below.
There was song, then prayer, then
another and always more inspiring song.
Then Richard Hargrave took the stand
and for an hour poured forth all the in
tensity Of his soul. His high, white and
smooth forehead became crimson, his
ordinarily soft eye lighted with a sort
Of seraphic glare, his white hair seemed
to vibrate and snap with sort of mag
netic energy, and when he closed every
eye in the audience was fixed, every
mind opened to emotional influences,
Then from the women's side of the
square rose in quavering strains some
suggestive hymn. probably these lines of
truly awful import to the believer:
charge to keep have,
A God to glurify,
A never dying soul TO save
And 1t Il for tho sky.
We looked up through the leafy can
opy and still night air, seeing single
star here and there among the leaves
and God seemed very, very great and
severe; we looked next at the powerful
exhorter who always followed Hargrave.

tons, songs and prayers of such energy
that 1t would seem they might assault
the skies and prevail even upon the I'M

"The word Of God nightly grew and
prevailed And no wonder. Now,
suppose some coldly cautious scholar
had told those people that there was a
question as to the authenticity of the
Epistles to the Hebrews; that com
mentators were in doubt whether Moses
or Ezra wrote the Pentateuch, and
whether Isaac was q monograph or a
compilation; that the serpent in Eden
was an allegory; that the devil is not
mentioned in the Old Testament and
but enough. Long before he reached
the distinction between Satan and the
devil he would have had the trees for
his audience. The wilder part of the
audience would have been-well, in
those days every suitable spring branch
had a stillhouse. No; the old fashioned
and lurid camp meeting was social
and moral necessity.

Impure Ice and TYphoid Ee,er.

Some years ago Dr. Charles Smart, of
the United States army, traced the cause
Of mountain fever to the melting snow
of the Rocky mountain streams, and in
ferred that the germs of this typho-ma-
larial fever were brought down from
the atmosphere by snow, remained fro
zen during winter, and then passed into
the streams in an active condition when
the snow melted in May. June and July.
1t is frequently the case that impure ice
is the agent of transmitting typhoid and
other fevers.-Engineering Magazine.

Tn. Light from Cuban rlrenio..

The secret of the light the Cuban fire.
fly gives is as yet undiscovered. Ap-
parently it is connected in some way
with the mysterious phenomena Of life,
and chemists and physicists have sought
in vain to explain its origin. On each
side of the animals thorax is a luminous
membranous spot, and these fash at in
tervals, 30 that the Cubans put a dozen
of the insects in cage together, and so
obtain a continuous illumination. bright
enough to read by. This light is accom-
panied by no perceptible heat, and ia
seemingly produced with almost no ex-
penditure of energy. How great az. i'm
provement it represents upon all known
artificial lights can be imagined when it
is stated that the loss from other lights is
more than 90 per cent. Washington
