rear OF the grounds attached to the
home Of the late Governor Gilmer is a
huge bowlder standing alone on the
edge of stream. Resting directly upon
this bowlder isanother weighing at least
twenty tons, This upper bowlder rests
upon stone pinnacle not more than
two feet square, and so evenly balanced
that, although the slightest touch will
cause 1t to rock TO and fro, hundred
horses could not pull it from its socket.
Biologists say that it must have been
deposited in its present position in the
time of the glacial epoch, and that the
texture and composition of the bowlder
argue in favor of the theory that it was
transported from the Lake Superior re-
gion to its present resting place In
good field Of ice long before there was
single human being on the face of the
earth.-St. Louis Republic.

life, and through those prayers that
seemed unavailing, and through that kiss
which received no response because the
lips were lifeless, and hear the bells
tolling and ! hear the hearts breaking
while ! speak l hear them break. A
heart! Another hearth Alone, alone.
alone!
This world, which in your girlhood
and boyhood was sunshine, Is cold now,
and, oh, weary dove, You fly around this
world as though you would like to stay
when the wind, and the frost, and the
blackening clouds would bid you away
into the heart Of an all comforting
Godl Oh, l have noticed again and
again what a botch this world makes
of 1t when it tries to comfort a
soul In trouble! 1t says, Don't cryr
How can we help crying when the
hearts treasures are scattered, and IA
Their is gone, and mother is gone, and
companions are gone, and the child is
gone, and everything seems gone?
1t Is no comfort to tell man not to
cry. The world comes up and SAYS,
"Oh, it is only>the body of your loved
one that you have put in the groundr'
But there is no comfort in that. That
body is precious. Shall we never put
our hand in that hand again, and shall
we never see that sweet face again.
Away with your heartlessness, oh, world!
But come, Jesus! and tell us that when
the tears fall they fall into Gods DO tie;
that the dear bodies of our loved ones
shall rise radiant in the resurrection,
and all the breakings down here shall be
lifted up there, and "they shall hunger
no more, neither thirst no more, neither
shall the sun light on them, nor any
heat, for the Lamb which is in the midst
of the throne shall lead them to living
fountains of water, and God shall wipe
all tears from their eyes,"
You may have noticed that when the
chaffinch, or the stork, or the crane starts
on its migration it calls all those of its
kind to come too. The tree tops are full
of chirp and whistle and carol and the
long roll call. The bird does not start
off alone. 1t gathers all of its kind Oh,
that you might be as wise in this migra-
ton to heaven, and that you might
gather all your families and your friends
with you! would that Hannah might
take Samuel by the hand, and Abraham
might take Isaac, and Hagar might take
Ishmael.
Start for heaven yourself, and take
your children with you. Come thou and
all thy house into the ark. Tell your
little ones that there are realms of balm.
and sweetness for all those who fly in
the right direction. Swifter than eagles
stroke put out for heaven. Like the
crane or the stork, stop not night nor
day until you find the right place TO:
stopping.
Today the Saviour calls,
Ye wanderers come.
Oh, We benighted souls,
Why longer roam?
The Spirit calls today,
Yield to his power.
Oh grieve him not away,
TITS mercy's hour!

Where Lightning Strikes.

Lightning, as it appears to the eye Of
an observer, is usually classified into
different forms, az sheet lightning, zig.
Tag lightning and ball lightning. PEG,
pie may be struck by lightning almost
anywhere-in houses, out of doors, I'M
der trees, in open fields and on board
ships at sea, Cases, however, are of
most frequent occurrence out of doors
and under trees. Sailors on board ship
are peculiarly liable to lightning strokes.
Metallic objects carried in the pockets

liable to be struck.

Propeller. in the Center of tho Boat,

Tropehers III the center OF the Boat.
The only seagoing steam vessel that
has propellers in the center of the boat
instead Of in the stern is named LIE
Louvre, and it plies between Nagaire
and Paris, thus taking in its course sea,
river and canal. 1t is a small vessel.
The two screws are in two tunnels in the
center in front of the engine. The tips
of the blades do not project below the
keel. One advantage claimed for this
invention is that the screws can be ex-
amined easily in case of accident, as
it is only necessary to introduce COM
pressed air into the tunnels and force
out the water.
1t is reported in France that larger
ocean vessels are to be built with this
arrangement of the propelling power.

INSPIRING EFFECTS OF SONG.


1t is a good sign when you hear a
workman whistle. It is a better sign
when you hear him hum roundelay.
1t is still better sign when you hear
him sing the words of Isaac Watts or
Charles Wesley. A violin chorded and
strung, if something accidentally strike
it, makes music, and suppose there is
such thing as having our hearts SO at
tuned by divine grace that even the
rough collisions of life will make a
heavenly vibration. 1 do not believe
that the power of Christian song has
yet been fully tried. l believe that if
you could roll the "Old Hundred" doxol-
ogy through Wall street it would put an
end to any financial disturbance! l be-
heve that the discords, and the sorrows,
and the sins of the world are to be swept
out by heaven born hallelujahs.

musician, why he always composed such
cheerful music. "Why," he said. 81

wish we might all exult melodiously be-
fore the Lord. With God for our Fa-
Their. and Christ for our Saviour, and
heaven for our home, and angels for fu-
ture companions, and eternity for a life
time, we should strike all the notes of
joy. Going through the wilderness of
this world let us remember that we are
on the way to the summary CLINE of
heaven, and from the migratory popula-
tions flying through the autumnal air

and Oh investigation it was found that
a number of bolts snd plates along the
line had been broken, and that the rails
had been forced apart. The friendly
warning given to the engineer alone
averted calamity.
