The Smallest Motor.

Mr.. Herbert Page, an assistant
in the physical laboratory in the
Central high school, has construct
ed an electric motor which is
probably the smallest in The world.
1t weighs but one thirdi of an
ounce. 1t is of the drum armature
type and is complete in all the
parts. The armature is but three
sixteentns of an inch in diameter,
and the motor is only half an inch
high. The machine runs at the
velocity of 5 5000 revolutions a min
ute. 1t requires.a current of one
fourth of.an amperc, with a pres
sure of three volts. The motor
would make an appropriate watch

The Niagara Went Dry.

The falls of Niagara ran dry
about forty-fve years ago. Strange
and incredible as it may appear it
is an actual fact. 1t occurred on
the morning of March 81. 1948.
Mr.. Thomas c. Street lived at that
time in the beautiful. homestead
over the islands, to which he and
his sisters and friends had access
by a suspension bridge he had
erected, There was a mill at the
end of the rapids that belonged to
the Street family. On the morn
ing in question his miller knocked
at his bed room door about five
o'clock in the morning, and told
him to get up quickly, as there
was no water in the mill race nor
in the great river outside. He
said he was startled by the %intelli-
gence, and hurried out as soon as
he could dress himself. There
before him he saw the river chan.
rel, on whose banks he had been
born thirty-four years previous,
almost entirely dry.
After a hurried breakfast Mr..
treet and his youngest sister went
down about three quarters of a
mile to the precipice itself, over
which there was so little water
running that, having provided
himself with a strong pole, they
started from Table Rock, and
walked near the edge of the preci-
pice about one third of the way to-
ward Goat Island on the American
shore.
On the mass of rock where hu-
man foot never before trod, Miss
Street, having tied her handker-
chief on the end of the pole, they
set it up firmly among the rocks.
Mr.. Street said that he turned his
view toward the river below the
falls and saw the water so shallow
that immense jagged rocks stood
up in such a frightful and pictur>
esque manner that he shuddered
when he thought of having fire.
quently passed over them in the
little steamer Maid of the Mist. He
then returned home and drove
along the Canada shore about half
a mile above Goat Island.
DR.. Fuller did not get there un :
til after the breaking down of the
ice dam; but he found every n in
the neighborhood greatly excited at
the wonderful event. Mr.. Streets
theory to account for the recession
of the waters was this: That the
winds had been blowing down
Lake Erie, which is about eighty
feet deep, and had been rushing a
great deal of water from it over
the falls, then, suddenly changing,
the wind blew violently up the
river to the western portion of the
lake. At this juncture, the ice on
Lake Erie, which bad been broken
by these high winds, got jammed
in the river between Buffalo and
the Canadian side. and formed a
dam which kept back the waters of
Lake Erie a whole day.-Anon.

If fourteen-inch log is to be con-
verted into boards five-eights of an
inch thick, twenty boards can be sawed
from the log if the saw cuts but one
sixteenth of an inch between each
plank. Eighteen boards can be made
if one-eighth of an inch is sawed away,
and if three-siXteenths are lost only
seventeen boards will be obtained.
That is, the loss in the first case is 9
per cent, in the second II per cent.
and in the third 90 per cent of the
timber. If the log is twelve feet long
the waste in sawdust will range from
one and one-half cubic feet to nearly
four cubic feet, and single saw-frame,
which cuts up fifty logs day and
works $50 days in a year, would con-
vert from 20, 600 to nearly $4,000 cubic
feet of timber into sawdust every year.
This large amount, at 25 cents a cubic
foot, which is fair average for pine,
will represent in money $12, 2S7. Thin
blades, with carefully sharpened
teeth, are therefore great factors in
saving material, and every year the
need of such saving is becoming more
urgent Gazette.

Farms for the Million.

The marvellous development of the states
Of Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa, Nc
braska and Wyoming, within the last few
years has attracted attention in all parts OF
the world. 1t is not necessary, however, to
search far for the causes of this WONDERFUL
growth, for this entire region, which is
penetrated by The Northwestern Line,
teens with golden opportunities for enter
prising farmers, mechanics and laborers
who desire to better their condition. Here
are lands which combine all varieties
of soil, climate and physical feature that
render them most desirable for agriculture
or commerce. Rich rolling prairies, ca.
pable of raising the finest quality Of farm
products in luxurious abundance, can still
be secured at low prices and upon most lib
eral terms, and in many cases good pro-
ductive farms can be purchased for scarcely
more than the yearly rental many eastern
farmers are compelled to pay. Reaching
the principal cities and towns and the
richest and most productive farming dis

CoNSECRATED LIVES.
Address Upon the Duties Enjoined by
Vows of Baptism,

VOWS OF BaDtiSrn -.s5
Mr.. Albert Wesley White, OF Harvard Uni
versity, addressed large audience yesterday
afternoon from the pulpit OF ST. Johns Epis-
copal Church. at the corner of Sixteenth and
H streets northwest, on the subject Of Con
secration."
Mr. White began his address. which was
especially TO young men. by announcing his
pleasure at being permitted 10 sCeak, not only
rs laYman. but as a member OF the ST. An
drew's Brotherhood. He contrasted the diff
fsrence between the duties imposed by the
VOWS OF the church and those due from one
employed in daily ayocation in the business
world to his employer.
There is one great truth. he said, that
should impress itself upon every man, woman.
and child and that Is, that the VOWS of
Christian baptism consecrate- one s Antire time
to the service of God. When a days service
in an Office is concluded, the duty to the en-
ployer ceases until another day begins: but
not so Of the Christians duty TO God. Daily
life should be IN accord With the vows Of the
church.
A ccnsecrated mans life speaks for itself
and he is known of men. One would not
dare 10 approach such a man with a complete
story OF his secret thoughts. and that was
referred TO as the test
The world estimates a man by his daily
walk. The worldly man knows his Efnd.
and can judge whether or not his associate is
leading life devoted to the work OF a Chris
tiau. Too often. the speaker said, a church.
man feels that he does his whole duty when
he goes to the sanctuary for a brief season Of
devotion.
He said If the Christian understood the
VOWS OF baptism better be would better esti-
mate his privileges and that il is possible TO
lead a consecrated life.
See to it. he concluded. that the worldly
map shall be able to say to you that ''if what
you do exempiiffes the Christian life, I want
TO be one"
The duty OF man is TO love God with all his
soul and mind and strength, and his neIghbor
as himself. On the one side Gods love to
man is mountain: on the other mans love
toward God, as often evidenced by his devo-
tion TO the duties enioined. is as a small hill.
There is never a moment when a man may
not hear the call to the service. and every
minute may and should be given to it.

Rev. A. j. Church Says That Many TipplerS
support Liquor Dealers.
Rev. A. J. Church of New York, delivered
a most eloquent and exhaustive sermon on
''Total abstinence" last night at the Fourth
Street southeast NJ. E. Church.
In his opening remarks he referred 10
authentic statistics on the liquor traffic and
and compared the enormous
amounts expended each year in the liquor
trade with the'atdoitnts PAID and donated for
charitable and religious purposes in the
United States in the same length of time
The temperance cause. he said was simply
starved in order TO augment the purses of
liquor dealers and makers.
Every temperance organization" he said,
''is perpetually in debt. The same may be
said OF nearly every religious organization.
With from 10, 600. 900 to Il, ,000, 900 of church
members and Christians morality is not sus-
tanned by necessary funds; yet the same num-
Der Of tippIers give into the Golfers of liquor
dealers grand tribute of Sl,200, 100000 an
nually.
The temperance movement has 10 contend
with much. There are distractions of gigan-
tic proportions which are almost insurmount-
able and then there are enemies to the cause
of total abstinence which are ever harrassing
and endeavoring to crush us out.
The speaker then went on to enumerate the
of temperance. The first and most formid-
able enemy, he asserted, is the appetite OF 12.-
600, 900 tipplers. The second enemy is An
army of about 900 liquor dealers and
manufacturers, whose incomes dwindle into
insignIficance the salaries of honest workers.
The third enemy he stated is a vast aggre-
cation ofpolitical aspirants.
The press was placed in the list and a Wig
orous attack was then made by the speaker
on the methods of the daily press OF this
country which he pronounced as promo
ter OF evil and vice and condemned as
moral foe"
Following up his attack on the press he
said that every daily newspaper in the United
enced more or less by the alcoholic traffic
Even the pulpit" he exclaimed, in
great many instances is given over to the de-
monical foe. 1t takes prodigious amount
of backbone to be Il moral minste today"

WHICH SHALL IT BE !

The attempt Of the Hon. Senator GRAY of
Delaware. and the Hon. slippery jim Rich
ardson. of Tennessee. TO induce Congress 20
appropriate million dollars 10 purchase
block 29. Columbia Heights. for site for a
Presidential mansion will probably fail, and
Mr. Cleveland aud future Presidents will have
TO worry along with the White House unless
possibly the well-known poverty OF Senator
Sherman. who is the chief owner of the block,
may awaken sufficient sympathy to cause a
prompt passage of the bill.
IN published interview, Senator Sherman
says ne purchased his interest in the block
fourteen wears ago, and that it has increased
in value immensely. He further stated that
he was not anxious to sell, but if the govern
ment desired to purchase he would sell the
property.
There are several millions Of working peo-
pie out OF employment in this country to-day.
many OF whom are in starving condition.
Trade and commerce Is almost prostrated,
factories are idle. wages lower than ever before.
Congress is making every possible effort to
find a way to bring relief, and yet in the face
of this depressed condition we have Congress
men who seriously contemplate the appro-
priation OF public money TO build palace for
our President
1t is this kind Of legislation, whether sue
cessful or not, that brings public distrust on
the heads Of our national Legislators People
elect members of Congress to serve the gen.
eral public and not TO speculate in property
for private gain. or to promote the welfare of
their colleagues. il it be at public expense.
It is impossible for either Senator or a Rep
resentatiye to accumulate wealth from his
salary, and each of them who has laid by
worldly goods during his term of Office has
either speculated in real estate or has been
otherwise thrifty.
The disagreement on the selection of a
Printing Office site has become a familiar
story. 1t is openly charged that certain Sena-
tors are preventing the purchase of desirable
property in order to force the committee 10
agree upon the Malone site Their object in
this obstinate conduct can only be surmsed,
and when the fact is considered that the Ma
hone lot has been repeatedly declared
unfit for the erection Of a massive building,
the surmise becomes an established suspicion.
Now, which shall it be? a Presidential
palace that will cost millions. or a public
Printing Office that is needed to protect lives
our public Treasury will not warrant the con-
struction of both. and the country awaits the
decision OF Congress which it shall be.
