When We sit in front of a coal fire and enjoy its generous warmth, do we realize that the heat and light of the burning coal arc really sunshine that has been stored up for ages: Such is the fact Centuries ago the sun shone on the earth, and plants and trees grew, fell and grew again. They were covered by geologic deposits and acted upon by great heat and pressure, until in the course of years or ages these broad lay CTS of organic matter were transformed into coal. The coal thus represents the work done by tie sunshine years ago, and when it is burned the imprisoned solar energy is loosCned again.
 Our system of power production de pends upon this presence of energy. But coal is wasteful source of energy. Even the best engines do not utilize over 10 per cent of the calculated energy of the heat of coal. and besides this it is an incOnveniCnt thing in many ways. It has to be mined, freighted and stored. Can we not find sumo moro economical way of using the sun $ energy:
 During the last few years the great progress i'll electrical science has enabled
 
 thriftier way. During it's days work the sun draws up large amount of water from the oceans and the damp earth. By the action of it's rays plant life 1ourishes, and plants draw from the ground and evaporate into the air largo amounts of water. Thus an oak tree of average size, with roo, ,OOO leaves, lifts from the earth into the air about 123 tons of water during the five months it displays its foliage This evaporated water, sooner or later, falls as rain, and by the action of gravity be- gins to flow downward. Thus the great rivers are fed. Round and round inces- sanity goes the water lifted by the tire less sun to fall when deserted by him, and again to be lifted, and again to fall and run seaward as long as it may exist upon this earth. h.-North American Re- view.

NEW PRESBYTERIAN MISSIONS BUILDING. flee building. It is l 1 stories high and thoroughly fireproof. The style of archi- lecture is modern gothic, and the stone used is Indiana limestone.
 The site of the building at Fifth ave- nue and Twentieth street was formerly occupied by the old Stuart mansion and was purchased for $67O, 900, making the total expenditure for building and site the sum of $1 .67O,OOO. Work was be- gun little over year ago and has progressed rapidly.
 Three successive general assemblies have indorsed the project, but of late it has met with some opposition, owing to the fact that the board of home missions is in such financial straits that it has been unable to pay its 3, 1000 home mis- sionaries and teachers in full for four months. This deplorable state of affairs, Rev. D. J. McMillan, secretary of the board of home missions, explains, is not due to the expense of constructing the new building, as no part of the board s income was diverted to that purpose. The debt of the board, Mr. McMillan says, is solely due to the wave of busi- ness depression which affectefthe coun- try two years ago and caused reductions in the amounts of money contributed by churches and Sunday schools. The in debtedness of the board in 1898 was $66, ,407 The debt in the year follow ing was $25S, ,645, and this year it is sS64, 1850. The borrowing capacity of the board has about reached it's limit, and the little money remaining will be apportioned among the most needy mis- sionaries until the board has & larger fund.

 are Pillsbury of Boston and Albin of New York. Canada is represented by Pollock, England by Bird, Blackburne, Burn, Guns berg, LaSker, Mason, Teichmann and Tins ley; France by Janowski Italy by Verga- nj, Austria by Marco and Schlechter, Ger many by Bardeleben, Mieses, Tarrasch and Walbrodt, and Russia by Tschigorin and Schiffers. In the opinion of the New York Sun there are only three living men whose presence in the ring would have boen de- sirous-namely, the Austrian, Weiss; the Pole, Winaver, and the German -Lipke.
 The young BostOnian, Pillsbury, has nev- or before met any of tho European masters in serious match play, and it is principal ly to Steinitz that the public will look with moro than usual curiosity. The veteran has never as yet crossed swords with Teich- mann, Tinsley, Burn, Janowski, Vergani, Marco, Pollock, Schlechter, Bardcleben, Mieses, Tarrasch Walbrodt and Schiffers. He has played with neither Bird Black burne nor Mason since 1885, he has not met either Gunsberg or Tschigorin over the board for four or five years, while 0 meeting between tho two claimants for the championship title, Lasker and Steinitz, is alone worth the trouble of having ar- ranged the tournament. Then there is Laskeri who will have to play against Tar IAsCnY 1ScnlSOrln, ScnlHerS ana WalDrOQG, not to speak of the lesser lights whom he has never before encountered in match playing.
 It has been a matter of great surprise all over the world that Tarrasch succeeded in winning the last four European interna- tional tournaments. True, the contestants in these tournaments were not as strong as they will be at Hastings, but it was miraculous performance, and there are many people who already look upon Tar rasch as the winner of the Hastings con- gress. However, there are Steinitz, Lasker and Tschigorin, three men the German champion Tarrasch did not meet at either Manchester, Breslau, Dresden or Leipsic. These three men will probably fight for the honor of beingEilrst at the end of the tournament, in which case the finest tal- Riah Ia the wCrl& will battle over the board.
