with despair, but gazing in one direction.
upon one object, and that the throne OF
resurrection.
On that day you will get back your Chris
tan dead. There is where the comfort comes
in. They will come up with the same hand,
the same foot and the same entire body, but
with perfect hand and perfect foot, END
perfect body corruption, mortality having
become Immortality. And, oh, the reunion :
oh, the embrace after so long an absence!
Comfort one another with these words.
While present these thoughts this morn
ing does it not seem that heaven comes very
near to us, as though our friends, whom we
thought great way off, are not in the DIS
lance, but close by? You have sometimes
come down to a river at nightfall, and you
have been surprised how easily you could
hear voices across that river. You shouted
over to the other side of the river. and they
shouted back. 1t is said that when George
Whitefeld preached in Third street, Pnlia-
delphia. one evening time his voice was
heard clear across to the New Jersey shore.
When I was a little while chaplain IN the
army, l remember how at eventide we could
easily hear the voices of the pickets across
the Potomac lust when they were using or
binary tones. And as we come to-day and
stand by the river of Jordan that divides us
from our friends who are gone it seems to me
we stand on one bank and they stand on the
other, and it is only narrow stream
and our voices go, and their voices come

EdisOn's Practical Ways.

An incident once happened in Edi-
sseea,ss laboratory illustrating capitally
the intense practicability of the "Wiz-
ards nature and also showing the i'm
practical ways of professors. During
the course Of some incandescent lamp
experiments Edison wished to know
the amount of space enclosed In the
glass bulb, and so, turning to two OF
his wise and learned assistant electric
ians, requested them to ascertain the
cubical contents of one of his electric
illuminators.
To these professional minds there
occurred but one way to solve the
problem mathematics. Any one who
has ever probed very deeply into this
science of quantities and magnitudes
will know by reason of the irregular
form of an incandescent lamp that to
ascertain its cubical volume is no easy
task. In fact it called for the greatest
mathematical skill. But the profess
ors went to work with true grit, and
after using several sheets of paper and
consuming considerable time, In
formed Edison of the result. To their
surprise the inventor said these figures
were not within gunshot of the true
solution, and to the question as to how
he knew, the Wizard" would only
shrug his shoulders and tell them to
fnd out for themselves.
The electrical experts again went
over their figures, checked them and
tried all the forms of mathematics!
calculation, from arithmetic to applied
mechanics, but without avail, for the
final result was again declared wrong
by Edison. After several more useless
attempts, and when a good portion o.
the day had been wasted, the profess
sors would work no more upon thu
problem until they knew Edison
method of computation.
The wizard then simply too
the cap off an incandescent, filed
with water and then poured the llqul'

Some Of benneumatic guns intended

Some of the pneumatic guns intended
for New York harbor will probably be
put in position during the present sum
mer. Of the five guns for New YORK
two ffteen-inch guns will be set up at
Sandy Hook and one at Wiliets Point,
One ten-inch gun will also be set up at
the latter point and one cight-lnchg gun
at the former. Early next year 1t is
expected to place the three fifteen-lnch
gums intended for San Francisco, after
which the three guns for Boston mar
bar will be set up. There is no doubt
that the pneumatic guns may be ell
fective auxiliaries in land defense.
While they are quite limited in range
vet within that range they have the
mower of throwing an enormous guam
tity of dynamite OF other high ex-
plosives upon an enemys fleet hence
they are particularly adapted to de-
tending narrow channel or to pro-
tecting fortified works from suffering
foo close a fire from all enemy.

T Traits of Turkish Nomads,

The Yuruks, indeed, assert that hu:
man souls return into the bodies OF
animals, and that the spirits of the
latter take also human form and ap:
pear at determined epochs. This Is
certainly the reason they are SO kind
ito animals, NJ, Eiisee Recius says
that Yuruk loves his horse as much
,as his family. The horses have their
place under the tent. and it is Res TN:
common to see them warmly wrapped
in magnificent robe when the furuk
and his children are covered with
rags, Some other customs attest als9
a pagan origin; in the Orient every:
body knows that the Yuruks worship
jcerts in trees and rocks, These facts
yield sufficient evidence that moro:
,theism is by no means the essential
dogma OF their religion,
Among the qualities possessed by the
Yuruk, hospitality is. no doubt, prom:

of his adventurous life, of all the fierce
instincts which characterize the TURK

tains; constantly exposed ta the In
clemency of the seasons, to dangers
and enemies of all kinds, the furuk
has conceived a generous and noble
idea of hospitality, and be practices 1t
with disinterestedness and pleasure:
! His tent, whether in his presence or in
I his absence, is always open to the
ttraveler, and food and drink in abund-
ance are given him. The tents OF the
Euruks are square, and made OF q sort
Of thick black wooden cloth.
Aside from the information l have
given here, nothing precise is known
of their private life, For instance, no
body over knew what became of thel1
dead, as no one has ever seen Gene
terry, All am able to cay is that the
body of the deceased is placed on q
black mule, destined exclusively fol-
that use, and thus carried to noun
tain, There, l am not aware whether
it is cremated or buried; but, as 1
was told that they also take sheaf OF

The Vegetarian Theory.

One prominent exponent of the faith
says it is a fact that the strongest AMI,
mails in the world are vegetarian and
not carnivorous. 1t is the teroclty OF
the lion rather than his strength that
makes him formidable. An elephant
is q match for several lions, and is a
vegetarian. The animals with most

also vegetarians Dog trainers says
