For the first time in the history of the
world cotton has just been ginned by
electricity at the Agricultural and Me-
ehanieal College of Alabaina, at Auburn,
thus furnishing an entirely new applica-
ton Of this marvellous form of power.
For the purpose of illustrating the
Transmission Of power by electricity tae
class in electrical engineering, under the
direction of their professor, A. r.
McKissick, connected the generator at
the dynamo room of the college with
the motor at the Statum farm by wire
1900 feet in length, the distance between
the college and the farm By running
the dynamo ut the college tho motor at
the farm did the work of the ten horse
power engine formerly used. 1t ground
oats and corn for COW feed and ginned
cotton, doing tho work in simple effec-
tive manner. with a small percentage of
loss
This application of electricity not only
affords a convenient source Of power,
but also gives increased exemption from
danger of fire from the use of an engine.
1t is designed that hereafter all work
of this character required at the farm
shall be done by electricity.-Cor. st.

FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 20. 1899.

/ and open new chapter. Before you
get to the door on your way out this
morning shake hands with some one,
and ask him TO join you on the road to
heaven, Do not drive up TO heaven in q
two wheeled "sulky" with room only for
one, and that yourself, but get the big
gest Gospel wagon you can find and pile
it full of friends and neighbors, and
shout till they hear you all up and down
the skies, Come with us, and we will
do you good, for the Lord hath promised
good concerning Israeli
The opportunity for good which you
may consider insignificant may be tree
mendous for results, as when on sea
Captain Holdane swore at the ships
crew with an oath that wished them all
in perdition, and Scotch sailor touched
his cap and said, Captain, God hears
prayer, and we would be badly off if
you're wish were answered" Captain
Holdane was convicted by the sailors
remark and converted. and became the
means of the salvation Of his brother
Robert, who had been an infdel, and

less Felix Netf became tile world re-
nowned missionary of the Cross, and the
worldly Merle L'Aubigne became the
author of "Tbe History of the Reforma-
ton and will be the glory of the
church for all ages,
Perhaps you may do as much as the
Scotch sailor who just tipped his cap
and used one broken sentence, by which
the earth and the heavens are still re-
sounding with potent influences. Do
something for God, and do it right away,
or you will never do it at ALL
Time flies away fast,
The while we never remember;
How soon our life here
Grows old with the year
That dies With the pext December.

An Arith IN G teal Problem,

If you are good at figures get out your
paper and pencil and try this sum. Here
is a simple problem in arithmetic: A
baby is born in 1899. Now suppose its
ancestors had married at the age of
twenty-one, from the time of our Lord
-fifty-six generations--how many grand
fathers has that baby had? The answer,
in round numbers, will be three figures
followed by fifteen ciphers. Professor
Proctor at one time figured that if from
single pair each husband and wife had
married at the age Of twenty-one for
5000 years the population of the earth,
if there had been no deaths, would now
be 2,199,915 followed by IA eiphers.-

ADMINISTRATION OF SILENCE.
There has been apotheosization OF
lence. Some one has said that silel.
Is golden, and sometimes the create,
triumph is to keep your mouth shut.
But sometimes silence is crime and the
direct result Of the baleful influence of
the dumb devil of our text. There is
hardly a man or woman in this house
today who has not been present on some
occasion when the Christian religion be-
came target for raillery. Perhaps it
was over in the store some day when
there was not much going on and the
clerks were in group, or it was in the
factory at the noon spell. or it was out
on the farm under the trees while you
were resting, or it was in the clubroom,
or it was in social circle. or it was in
the street on the way home from bust
ness, or it was on some occasion which
you remember without my describing it.
Some one got the laugh on the Bible
and caricatured the profession of re-
ligion as hypocrisy, or made pun out
of something that Christ said. The
laugh started and you Joined in, and not
one word of protest did you utter. What
kept you silent2 Modesty? No. In
capacity to answer No. Lack of op-
portunityi No. 1t was blow on both
your lips by the wing of the dumb devil

Charles Wesley by Peter Boiler, who,
after his conversion, said, II had bet

Wesley, ''if You had ten Thousand
tongues you had better use them for

The glories of my God and king,
The triumphs Of his grace.
Jesus, the name that Gains our fears,
That bids our SORROWS cease;
sTis music in the sinners ears,
'Tis life and health and peace.
While much Of the modern music is

to see some great musician of our time

Judgment Hymn, Yarmouth, Dundee,
