He must be God.
The Bible says that all things were
made by Him. Does not that prove too
much? Could 1t be that He made the
Mediterranean, that He made the Black
sea, that He made the Atlantic, the Pa
cific, that He made Mount Lebanon,
that He made the Alps, the Sierra Ne.
vadas, that He made the hemispheres,
that He made the universe? Yes. The
Bible says so, and lest we be too stupid
to understand, John winds up with a
magnificent reiteration and says
"Without Him was not anything made
that was made" Then He was a God.
The Bible says at the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow. All Heaven
must come down on its knees, apostles
on their knees, the archangel on his

It is a good thing for a clergyman to
have a healthy liking for out of door exer-
else, and excellent divines have been none
the less respected for having taken part in
certain athletic sports.
But it is possible that clergyman whose
obituary notice appeared recently in the
English journals carried athletics to a
greater extent than is usual evenin that
country. The obituary notice begins as

The Last English Rabbit.

The game of the world is decreasing,
and as new lands are opened to civiliza-
ton so it win get less and less. In the
struggle for existence, there will be no
room for the sportsman. His require
ments will grow more modest as time
advances, but they will not be satisfied.
The last British wolf was killed in Suth-
erlandshire about the year 1900 by man
named Poison. Who will be handed
down to posterity as the slayer of the last
British rabbit? What pathetic picture
might be drawn of the last cock pleas
anti Perhaps some Macaulay of the far
distant future may astonish his readers
by his account of what went on in the
rural districts of Great Britain in the
nineteenth century.
He would relate how, owing to the
scantiness of the population, men used to
shoot cartridges and pheasants by the
thousand on ground then and for gener-
ations past the sites of immense towns;
telling how the great garden of England,
then mapped out into small tenements,
each laboriously and infinitely cult
waited, with no waste of wood or hedge
row, used in those far away years to be
furiously ridden over by hundreds Of
horsemen in pursuit of an animal long
since extinct in the land and only known

history. -Macmillan's Magazine.

WHY BOOK 1sz CHEAP.
A Machine That Prints and Folds Three
Thousand Every Hour.

Thousand Every Hour.
There are various rumors and talea
floating about town among those in the
business concerning some wonderful ma
chinery over on the west side of the city
in certain monstrous bookmaking es-
Enlistment.
The novel machine" is a large web
press similar TO the kind newspapers are
printed on, but arranged to take curved
electrotypes Of each page Of book in
stead Of a single large metal cylinder
casting. There are two cylinders, on
each Of which IA pages may be screwed,
and as the long strip Of paper goes
through, first one side is printed and then
the other, making it possible to print 2ee
pages at every revolution. The strip of
paper, after being carried over rollers
which dry the ink, is cut, folded and
brought together in the shape Of a small
volume, with the edges all trimmed. Ev-
cry time the great cylinder goes round a
novel is printed, folded and trimmed, and
5000 Of these are turned out every hour,
while, if it were necessary, 1000 OF 5000
might be the quota.
From the printing press these books
are carried to a little machine that looks
like sewing machine, and two wire
stitches are taken in the back of each.
The stitched volumes are then carried to
the covering machine. where they are put
side to side in a long feeding trough. AT
the end Of this is little compartment
large enough to take book, carried on
an endless chain running over wheels at
each end. Indeed, there are a series of
little compartments on this chain, and
as the chain moves along each one re-
ceives book As the book proceeds a
wheel running in a gluepot presses
against its back, smearing it with glue.
A little further along there is a pile of
covers that comes up at just the right
moment, leaving a cover sticking to the
gluey back of the book.
In this way 90 books can be covered
every minute. Two hundred and fifty
thousand of these paper covered novels
are thus turned out every two weeks, and
extra editions of $4,000 or so are often
worked in besides.-New York CONNER

How Air ResIsts a LOGON otIve.

Experiments made by the scientists
appointed for that purpose by the French
government show that the resistance of
the atmosphere to the motion of high

tai resistance which the locomotive must
overcome. Two engines, of which the
resistance was measured repeatedly and
found to be 10 pounds per ton at 81 miles
per hour, were coupled together and
again tried. In the second trial the re
sistance fell to IA pounds per ton, the
second engine being shielded from at
