1.-The sun is about 90. 900, 900 miles
distant from the earth" writes Alden
W. Quimby in Ladies' Home Journal
1T varies through the year because the
earth's orbit is elliptical, and the sun
is at one focus of the ellipse. The earth
is more than 8, 900, 900 of miles nearer
the sun in December than in June, AT
which time the latitudes south of the
equator receive his direct rays and ex-
perience the great heat of their summer.
Let US try to comprehend the figures
stated. The other day two racers Of the
sea proudly lowered the record of trans
atlantic passage. Could they turn their
prows to the sun, and drive their great
engines day and night in the crossing Of
the ether main, it would be 500 years
before they could reach harbor.
Most persons have noticed the ap-
probable interval Of time between the
stroke Of an ak at distance and the re-
sultant sound Could we hear the sound
of a solar explosion we would know that
the explosion had occurred IA years be-
fore. Perhaps the most striking illustra-
ton is that which imagines a little
child to have an arm long enough to
reach the sun. The child might thrust
its fingers into the seething fires. but it
would grow up to maturity and calmly
descend into the valley of extreme old
age, blissfully unconscious Of any pain
from the burning; in fact, it would re-
quire another such lifetime to bring the
news to the brain.

Early Patriotism.
The First idea of Independence.

The First Idea Of Independence.
The idea of independence did not
spring from the minds of the minute
men at Lexington and Concord, al
though in the thoughts of some Of the
holder leaders of the times it arose
from the beginning, Samuel Adams
was fearless in his conviction. Franklin
in 1774 had talked Of political separa-
ton. Timothy Dwight recommended it
early in 1775, and Patrick Henry had
said that unless we declared ourselves
independent we could hope for no allied
aid, which alone would enable us TO take
our stand among the nations of the
earth.
Thomas Paine was the first to express
the idea Of independence publicly in
print when he issued his pamphlet in
1916.
at may be asked" said he, (which
is the easiest and most practical plan,
reconciliation or independence? l an
swer generally that independence, be-
ing single, simple line, contained
within ourselves, and reconciliation a
matter exceedingly perplexed and com
plicated, and in which treacherous,
capricious court is to interfere, gives
the answer without doubt. Let none
other be heard among us than those Of
good citizen, an open and resolute
friend and virtuous supporter Of the
rights of mankind and of the free and
independent states of America. " TX
this the popular feeling quickly re
sponded, for it clearly and resolutely
expressed the growing tendency o

A Plea For Conservatism.

We are coming to one Of the most in
teresting stages of the worlds history,
says Senator J. X. Hawley. We are ON
the threshold. Wehave started in. This
is time of unrest, when nothing goes
without doubt. Nothing goes without
investigation. Nothing goes without
impertinent challenge and charge to
see whether it can be destroyed. No in-
stitution of church or state, no doc.
trine of government or religion, is with
out its enemies. The whole world is in
a tumult worse than the world ever saw
before by reason of men talking about
recognizing all things. Now, among
the great powers of this nation so far
have been its staying powers, its con-
sentative powers. No nation has such "A
history in that one regard as we have
had during the last 100 years. Back of
all these waves of destruction and back
Of these wild winds stands great
steady force of what Tennyson calls
Saving common sense
The common sense Of most shall hold fret
full realm in awe.

Birds That Feicn Death.

One of the most remarkable devices
resorted to by wild things for their own
protection is that of shamming death.
A beetle or spider will double in its
legs and lie as if dead The reason for
this is obvious 1t may then be passed
over, mistaken for bit of leaf or stick.
But it is more difficult to account for
this practice in birds
A moor hen or land rail will feign
death, lying in the hand perfectly limp
and to all appearances unconscious 1t
has been suggested that the idea is that,
being already dead, the captor will not
trouble to kill them.
More probably it is merely ruse in
the hope that by lying still they may
be forgotten and crawl off presently UNI
observed Another reason is suggested
by the fact that cats and the cat tribe
do not often touch their prey unless it
moves. London Standard

New Guinea Claims the Distinction u
Furnishing This Unique Spectacle.

] Guinea AsaNaAA~NANA- -
! Furnishing This Unique Spectacle.
Man was individually at one period Of
his existence an arboreal animal he
I had much 70 do with 1.-THE trees of the
garden. In some places and as repre-
! sented by some races he still lives
among them.
The natives of New Guinea climb
like monkeys and travel for long dis
tances from one tree TO another without
descending TO the ground. Tho birds
build little faiTylike cabins on the
ground, but the people construct their
houses in the top of the tallest forest
trees. First native having climbed
the great trunk of the teak or cedar or
oak tree he has selected. begins by cut
ting off some of the branches the right
length to support platform of bamboo
ON which his house is TO rest. You
would wonder how he could do anything
with the tools he uses if you should see
them. He has no saw or steel edged ak,
but only sort of tomahawk made OF
stone and knives of bone or hard wood.
When. however, he has in some way
managed to get the limbs of his tree so
cut and fashioned as to support his
house, his hardest work is done.
The house itself is soon built and is
made of bamboo strips and matched
with palm leaves Ali parts are firmly
dashed together with strips Of rattan
palm, very tough vine, used by the
natives in place of ropes. 1t is not a
large house, though it sometimes con-
tains several rooms, but it is safe and
secure retreat for the women and chill
dren in case of sudden attack by hos
tile tribes.
The house is reached from the ground
by a long ladder or inclined plane, made
of woven vines In case an enemy APP
pears the ladder is drawn up and the
man and his family and the pig are safe
within the house. The elevation not
only secures the household from wild
beasts and from the ants that roam the
country, seeking what they may devour,
but also from disease germs, which, like
those of yellow fever, do not rise above
q certain level The breeze, too, rocks
the house gently, like a cradle, and sets
the fresh air into circulation, making 1t
delightfully."- refreshing after the sultry
heats below.
If you should climb the long ladder
and peep in at the door, you will find
the family, perhaps, all asleep or sitting
about the floor eating yams, cocoanuts
and bananas, and sharing them with
their pet pigs, parrots or poultry. You
will find there no pictures, toys or play
things, such as even the poorest children
among us possess; no music and no
books, no furniture in the room, not
even bed and no mats on the floor.
Many true built nest is constructed
with more art and is more comfortable
for the little ones who are born in it,
and is far prettier than the rude huts of
the wild men of New Guinea -Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

Christ Ia with Us.

Christ, the Spirit, is with u.s. and He
is with us today. But are we in har-

today is contemplation, pious medita-

and an evening hour and devote them to
communion with God did it ever occur

might be? The need Of the day is that
the pew and pulpit should have more
time for contemplation. --Congregation-
