HENRY NJ. STANLEY, the explorer
having attained the object of his
aspirations in politics, has identified
himself with the evangelization OF
Africa by becoming the associate
editor of Illustrated Africa, which
is published in New York. Mr..
Stanley writes Bishop Taylor, the
editor OF the magazine: a." While l
am not thinking of making another
journey into Africa, my heart is en-
listed in the development of that
continent, a work which l can help
along much better now than if l
were on the ground. Africa Is prac-
tically explored, and the intelli-
gence OF its inhabitants demon
strated. l think that Africa never
Will be another North American
continent, but we must remem Der
that it Is only a short time since it
has been penetrated by civilizing
forces. When | was at Lake Vic
toria, eighteen years ago, there was
not a missionary there; now there
are forty thousand native Christians
and two hundred churches. The
natives are enthusiastic converts.
and would spend their last penny
to acquire a Bible. What we want
now Is to develop the country, not
so much for the white man, but for
the natives themselves"

AS pumping Is one u Tic
most common uses to which
wind motors are put, the
method OF communicating
motion to the pump is very
important and has received
our closest attention, and the
defect created in most wind
mills of racking themselves TO
pieces in a severe wind has
been Obviated in the Aermotor
by means of back gearing, SO
that the wheel makes about
three turns to one stroke of
the pump or enough SO that
the wheel may run at its natural
speed, unrestrained in any
moderate wind, without doing
violence to the pump or its
connections. This enables US
to give the pump long stroke
instead ofthe quick, jerky, short
strokes of ordinary wind mills.
This means that the valves are
not worked so harshly in open
ing and closing and that the
wear and tear is greatly dimin
ished, while the piston rod
speed is increased, and conse-
quently the pumping capacity
is increased. The back gear
ing, together with the extra
holes for crank pins in the
crank wheel also makes it pos
sible to use with the Aermotor
any ordinary size of pump
cylinder If wind motor is
not sensitive to the direction of
the wind much of its efficiency
is lost.
The ease with which a wind |
mill faces up to the wind de
ponds on weight of the mill,
the kind and condition of the
bearings on which it pivots and
the comparative leverage Of
wheel and tail. In the matter
of leverage, the advantage en-
joyed by the Aermotor over
common wind mills will
be made apparent by the
fact thar the center of the
wheel is only twelve inches
from the mast or center on
which it turns while that Of the
best known wheel is thirty
inches, requiring as IS easily
seen two and One-half times as
.Ong or large a tail to balance
the same sized wheel. The /
AermotOr presents one half.
he surface to the wind; it is
that this other wheel
must have FIVE times the tail
surface TO make it face the
wind equally well thereby
greatly increasing the liability
% wreck in a storm. The
mere fact that we have placed
l 50 more AermOtOrs on the
stands is sufficient guarantee
Of their superiority and desir-
ability by those who want a
motor that looks after itself.

Is the midst of this era OF pro
missed decadence Of religious creeds,
we find some OF the leading Prohi-
bitionists OF the United States com
bining to form what Is to be known
a the Prohibition church. There
are at present six churches in the
United States founded on strictly
prohibition lines. They do not
come from the same source-some
are Methodists, some Baptists nor
are their creeds all alike, but pro-
hibition is the sovereign point on
which they all agree. While a
prohibition clause might well be
inserted in every creed, if creeds
there must be, it is difficult to
fathom what lasting benefit is to be
obtained for the advance of Chris
tianIty by increasing the labyrinth
OF lines that divide the individual
peculiarities of various religious
thinkers.
