CRYING Out After God.

One OF the most pathetic instances or
the yearning OF TIE human being for the
Divine Is that related by bishop Whipple,
OF Minnesota: "Some years ago." he says
IAN Indian stood at my door, and as
opened the door he knelt at my feet.
or course bade him not 10 kneel. He
said My father. / knet only because
my heart IS warm TO a man who pitied
the red man. l am wild man. My home
is FIVE hundred miles from here. 1 know
that all the Indians east OF the Missis-
sippi had perished. and l never looked
into the faces OF my children that my
heart was not sad. My father had told
me OF the Great Spirit, and / have often
gone out into the woods and tried TO
talk TO HIM Then he said so sadly as
he looked In my face: You don't know
what j mean. You never stood In the
dark and reached out your hand and
could not take hold Of anything. And /
heard one day that you had brought to
the red man wonderful story of the Son
Of the Great Spirit That man sat as a
child and heard the story of the love OF
Jesus. And when we met again he said
Us he laid his hand on his heart. 1T is
not dark; II laughs all the while"

II IL tificult for us TO adequately SYM
pathfse with those who had TO stand at
The threshold Of history and receive for
the first, as accomplished facts, things
which they had habitually regarded as
vague and mystical predictions. Yet
there are incidents in the lives OF all.
which will help us TO realize just how
the Apostles must have felt when they
stood by the tomb Of the risen Christ.
Some Of us remember hearing the first
vague rumors about the telephone. II
was predicted that by its help people
would converse together who were miles
apart or even separated by States or a
continent Still. we kept on writing our
letters in the old-fashioued way; or when
speed was necessary, having recourse TO
the click OF the telegraph operators In
strument and the mystic cipher mes
sages OF telegraphy. But by and by lines
were strung past our very doors. and
upon the streets we saw the public signs:
"Public Telephone Station" Yet still
II seemed like an unfulflled dream TO us.
and some day when the question was
asked: "Why don't you telephone to so
and so7 You can have the satisfaction
of hearing him with his own voice." II
was hard 10 convince ourselves that the
telephone had so really become matter
Of history az that. Some one had pre-
dlcted this very thing, and we had half
WY believed and expected II would come
20 pass, but now that Il had come TO pass,
II was no different from all we had an
ticipated, that II seemed more like n
part of wonderland than our real every
day life. And so II has been with all
the great epochs I'm history where there
has been struggle out OF the ideal into
the actual. like that OF the disciples out
Of the predicted resurrection Into the
realization.-Rev ]. +. Cowan.

FOSSIL FORESTS.
siIicinod Stumps OF Trees in the Yellow
Stone Region.

These standing silicifed stumps and
fallen trees were found varying In dame
ter from ono 10 seven feet says writer.
Two sections OF trees were found so per-
feet tat the rings Of annual growth
throughout could be counted, except ear
the heart and bark one tree, measuring
three feet in diameter, had 222 rings Of
growth; and another. of three feet five
inches in diameter had 243-this without
any allowance for few missing rings at
the centre and toward the bark. The
larger Of these trees was only about half
the size of the largest seen. Many were
found varying in diameter from five to
seven feet, but none Of this size was seen
exposing the rings throughout the entire
section.
Judging from the closeness OF the
rings in certain well-preserved portions
of these larger trees many OF them must
have been at least five hundred years I'm
attaining their growth, Il the rings were
truly annual. Taking one-half this num-
Der, $50 years, as the more probable age
Of the successive forests at this point, it
is seen that the earliest of these trees were
living more than 1900 years before the las.,
during which time there were alternating
conditions of growth and accumulation of
volcanic material. This estimate makes
no allowance for the time necessary for
the formation Of soil upon a volcanic
material. which at first sight would seem
necessary for the support Of such a Wig
orOus vegetation 1t is not probable, how
ever. that any considerable time was
necessary for this purpose. for. with rare
exceptions. each SUGGESTING forest took
root and began TO grow very promptly at
ter the destruction Of its predecessor. In
most cases the destroying food consisted
of mud, ashes, coDglomerate and other
volcanic material, which formed an ex-
cellent base for vegetation. and was
doubtless covered with a luxuriant growth
as soon as it was dried or cooled suni-
GENTLY, and this would require only a
short time.-Popular Science Monthly.

TO ABOLISH THE KITCHEN.
A ColoIad Plan That Is Suggestive for
Other Places IA Well.

Discussing this question, the Rochester
the Colorado Building at the Worlds
Fair the efforts OF some women Of that
State TO establish cooperative house
keeping will be demonstrated. The plan
IS soon TO be thoroughly tried In Denver.
Some women Of Colorado have takon
UP this problem in earnest, and in their
building at the Worlds Fair will exem-
plify plan Of cooperative housekeeping
that is soon to have a thorough trial IN
Denver A block Of forty-four houses,
covering one square, is TO be built in that
city. and in the centre OF the square a
building 10 be used as common kitchen,
dining-room and laundry is to be placed.
competent steward will purchase pro-
visions at wholesale prices for all. good
cooks Will be employed and meals viii
be furnished either IN the common dining
room or in private apartments The
houses will surround the kitchen in a
hollow square, so that all WIN be easily
reached from the central building. The
scheme is not altogether a new one, al
though we believe it has never yet had
a fair trial The objection has been
raised that IL does away in part with
the domestic privacy Of home. but this
point could be met by having q dining
room in the rear end OF each dwelling
to which a complete breakfast, dinner
or supper could be taken from the kitch-
en- and laid on the table. The dishes
could then be taken back TO the centre
building and washed, there 10 remain
until the hour for the next meal.
Such an Arrangement ought not 10 cost
so much per family as the present meth
cd does, while as boon 10 the house
keeper IL could hardly be overestlmated.
To put tho plan in practice IL would be
necessary to secure a whole square as
a site for the enterprise. The dwellings
could be completely independent OF each
other, and could have every feature Of
ordinary houses except the kitchen.
why" continues the Democrat. and
the question fits other places as well,
"is not something OF the kind done in
Rochester? Our population is large and
growing. There is available land which
is made accessible by an admirable
street-car system. We believe that forty
or fifty houses that would rent for from
81 TO 81 per week, surrounding a per-
fectly- equipped and well-managed kiteh-
en-. would have tenants as soon as the
system could be put into operation. Why
is not this a good field for the profitable
investment OF money? II some OF our
capitalists would look into IT and consult
housekeepers and their husbands, there
is hardly doubt that they would be en-
couraged to undertake the kind OF an
enterprise suggested"

desert, where the fields are green and
the fruit trees OF every kind hang heavily
laden with the rich clusters OF the orchard

what is II causes the difference? The
soil Is Just the same. Experts tell us that
this desert land is the richest in the
world The secret is simply this: The
oasis is watered, the desert is dry; and
vet there are streams within immediate
reach Of ali these wastes. The only thing
that IS necessary is 10 bring the water
from the neighboring mountains and irri-
gate the plains, and then the desert VIII

SO indubitable did this reasoning APP
pear that, though some few years ago
small quantity OF liquid atmospheric air
was actually produced by two Continental
scientists. they were told that they must
have been mistaken. and that their sup
posed LIQUID air was not air at all. The
audience which was so fortunate as 10
witness Professor Dewar's remarkable
experiments at the Royal Institution on
the 10th Of June last received ocular
demonstration that the too confident
critics were wrong. Liquid atmospheric
