A Wonderful Work,

For about 25 years, Rev. HI. l.. Hastings
has been publishing and lecturing
against all forms of infidelitv. He scat
tered nearly 80 tons of tracts inside the
gates of the worlds fair, an it is safe
to say that no man has ever lived who
has had so wide and great an influence
in this direction as he has. There is not
an argument against the Bible with
which he is not perfect ly familiar, and
ready to meet. The tickets are being
taken by the hundred, and 1T looks now
as though there would be none left
for distribution at the Office Wednesday
evening. A musical programme is being
prepared for the half hour before the
lecture.

DEATH LIST INCREASED.
Thirteen Persisted in the DeIavan Hotel
Fire-AIl Were Hotel Employees-The
House Was Fire Trap.

Albany, n. Y. Decem Der 1.-The lat
est estimate is that IL persons, all en-
ployes of the Delavan Hotel, perished in
the flames last night. Of the missing
three are men and ten are women.
Streams were kept playing on the
ruins all day, but no attempt will be
made uutil tomorrow to search for the
bodies. The absence of electric bells or
other means of raising the guests was
one of the bad features of the fire. Had
not dozen cool headed politicians ran
UP stairs to warn the guests, mum Der
of them must have persisted. The rapid
ty with which the fire spread almost
surpasses belief. The peculiar construct
ion of the elevator shaft rendered it a
mighty f1ue. The fire authorities vainly
demonstrated against its construction.
The total loss is $3.50, 1000.

boy was taken sick last Friday, and Satur-
day morning the attending physician said
there was no hope for his recovery. Satur-
day night two injections of anti-toxine
were made and change for the better was
soon apparent, and this morning the boy

An electrician has expressed his be-
lief that telephoning to the moon is
within the bounds of possibility. He
argues that the ether which binds the
planets together with an iron hand is,
while firm and solid, infinitely elastic,
an ideal medium for the transmission
of vibrations. The vibrations which
constitute light come to us from the
sun in eight minutes, travelling at the
rate of 10000 miles a second 1t is
possible to produce waves moving at
this enormous velocity by electrical
means. A pulsation Of electricity causes
an ether wave, and in the telephone the
movement of infinitely small waves
produced by ether disturbance spread
out into space, radiating further and
further in gigantic circles until swal-
lowed up in its immensity, like ripples
on the ocean. If an iron mass be in
the vicinity of these pulsations IL will
give ont buzz or hum, as shown in the
passage of a current through some
systems Of street lighting apparatus
for the transformation of high to low
pressure. The moon undoubtedly con-
tains its proportionate amount of iron,
and therefore the theory is advanced
that II We can send electrical pulsations
90 the moon, we can make things hum
on its rugged surface. Such an expert
ment would involve "the use of a
gigantic coil, mounted vertically, with
its axis In line with the moon." The
protector OF the scheme adds: If lives
exist upon the lunar surface, if the
murmur from the earth be heard, they
will listen with sadness; they will feel
that utter despair that brooks no con-
ISOLATION and stretches out its arms in
vain" 1t is to be hoped they would
not take on in that way; it would be
POOR thanks to the man who built the
gigantic coil.-New York Times.

Der feet in their shiny slippers,
Hung dangling over the floor.
She meant 10 be good she had promised;
And so, with her big brown eyes.
She stared at the meeting house windows
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up at the preacher;
But she thought Of the honey bees
proning away in the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees.
She thought OF the broken basket,
Where, curled In a dusky heap,
Three sleek, round puppies, with fnngy
ears,
Lay snuggled and fast asleep. ".
Such soft warm bodies to cuddle,
Such queer little hearts to beat,
Such swift. round tongues to kiss,
Such sprawling, cushiony feet!
She could feel in her clasping fingers
The touch of the satiny skin,
And a cold, wet nose exploring Il,
The dimples under her chin.
Then a sudden ripple Of laughter e.
Ran over the parted lips.
So quick that she could not catch IL
With her rosy finger tips.
The people whispered, "Bless the child"
As each ore walked from a nap;
But the dear wee woman hid her face (:
