Last Sunday was certainly 2
red letter day" for the Sunday
school of BSashear M. Z. church.
There were nearly three weeks
time for training and making
necessary arrangements for the

at their best. They used the pro-
gram. entitled The League of
honor" A large arch, nearly
twelve feet high in the center was
decorated with evergreens and
flowers; and beautiful birds..assist-
ed in furnishing music. The
church was filed to it's utmost

windows on the outside. All

much, and some said it was the
finest they ever witnessed. La the
future Children,s Day will be
hailed with gladness.
The collection was the neat sum
OF SS.l6. All hail to Children's

what Electricity Is.

If YOU wish to know precisely no"
much the science of our age has found
out about electricity read the following
from the learned German Jokai, who
evidently thought 1t all out carefully
before he took his pen in hand:
If the question is now asked, What is cleo
tricity2' we may reply: thing OF which We
know a lit he more than nothing and little less
than something. A little more than nothing, for
we know that it is of the nature Of light and
heat. extending itself like them in waves of mo-
ton. A little less than something for Of the
essence Of electricity itself, whether static or
dynamic, we are sul absolutely in the dark.
There has been no want of other theories, but
the Fundamental tendency Of the age Is TO
reduce all phenomena and forces to the fewest
possible primaries, and it is not improbable
that this will be facilitated by the wave theory
Of the SO called ether.
The problem of gravitatiOn, too, which was
so long regarded a force acting from DIS
lance is now equally attributed to the agency
of "A medium In his efforts to demonstrate
the oneness of all natural forces, the physicist
is not likely TO be led astray, even although the
cognition of force presents one of those world
problems. the solution of which must forever
escape us; aye, although, as the final result OF
! the most exact investigation, II should forever
be denied to him even to assert decisiyely, II
is only a force, and the ether is its medium OF
/ transmission.

New American Ships This Year.

On the coast of Maine, at Boston, New
York, Wilmington and Baltimore on the
Atlantic shores of our country ship
building started out unusually active
this year. At Bath, Ne, vessel that
will be the largest American sailing ship
afioat is being constructed. 1t is a 1000
ton vessel 312 feet long. A steam whaler
will soon be turned out from the same
port, and it is here that the naval cruiser
No. 6 is approaching completion.
On the Pacific coast the shipbuilding
ports are San Francisco and Portland.
At Portland the attempt will be made to
construct passenger ships of the whale
back pattern. The work at San Fran
cisco is largely connected with the Unit
ed States navy, but great activity is
manifest. Even more interesting and
important is perhaps the nautical prog
ress made on the lakes. Buffalo will
turn out this year a 3,000-ton steamer,
as well as an 1S-knot twin screw vessel.
| There has lately been completed at De
troit a curious steam vessel, designed to
run altogether under water. The steam
er is driven by reversible propellers,
working amidships. These also regulate
the depth of immersion of the boat. All
there is above water is an observing
tower two feet high. If the invention
