And her strong, triumphant armies,
Which the very gods defied,
Marching to the field of battle
In their arrogance and pride.
Oh, the princes of that kingdom
How they ruled on land and sea!
How they spurned the God of just
ice,
And to Baal bent the knee
And they reared golden Image
In the grandest of their marts,
And the incense that assembled
Rose from ruined homes and
hearts.
And the one word that the Image
Uttered day and night was
"Give !"
Till the people only answered :
"Grant us work that we may
live."
But the rulers .babbled: "Busi
ness"
AS they revelled at their ease,
And they locked up Natures store

And to thieves consigned the
keys.

To the one malign control
That in church and school demand
Prostitution of the soul.
otill the multitude paid tribute
To the miser in his den,
Still the Shylock knife was sharp

For the flesh and blood of men
Crafty minds, like human spiders
Weaving traps for human flies,
Yelled with webs of legal pretense
Things that all men knew were
lies.
And the victims fell by millions,
Under land and chattel bond,
Driven from Gods soil like lepers
By the usurer's magic wand
Till the army Of the homeless
Gathered like rising food,
And the cry went up at midnight
"Give us bread or give us blo1d!'
And the gathering food climbed
higher
Till it struck the palace door
And awoke the royal sleepers
With it's wild devouring roar.
There are tigers in the jungle
That delight in human prey,
But fiercer tiger eronches
In starving man at bay.
And the rulers and the robbers,
Though they quailed with inward
dread,
Answered back in bold derision
"Give them blood instead OF

And beneath the weired eclipse
Sat and rode the "Scarlet Woman"
With sheer upon Der lirs.

The artifcially modified milk il pre-
pared by a sequence of chemical proc
esses. the first of which il sterilization.
When this has been accomplished, the
milk is cooled and its respective pro-
portions of fat, sugar and proteids as
certained. These proportions vary 30
greatly that in an assortment OF a hun
.dred tubes Of natural milk there will
be found samples in which the percent

while there may be from 0.2s to 40 OF
proteids. These various sorts OF nat
ural milk can easily be 50 arranged
and altered that the attending physi-
clan may write q prescription for any
quality of milk he wants.

When John Howard, a hundred years

long and two feet wide women tainted
with horror at the philanthropist's de-
scription Of the living death to which
these wretched creatures were con-
demned. But the sky Of Miss Armour's
world is only twelve inches above her

Young lady does not find her sphere of

she makes is to wiggle her pink toes

which the Armour baby may have to
spend several months the air is sifted
through layers OF cottonwood and thus
eleansed is supplied with an added pro-
portion OF oxygen from a tank attached
To the apparatus before being warmed
and famed into the tiny cell. The
temperature inside the brooder Is kept
at IS degrees Fahrenheit 80 that no
part Of the child's strength need be
wasted in the generation OF animal

are the three chief characteristics CT
thild's environment before it Is born
and the use of the brooder makes II
lasy &c exclude both the light and the
noise, which disturb the incomplete hu-
man being. Another requirement is
that the delicate morsel of humanity

As possible. II it were possible to keep

The Flying Machine

1t is an old story now that the aero
nauts Of the day have abandoned the
search for light materials and buoyant
gases In attempts on aerial naviga-
ton. The fiimsiness and large area
of exposure that attend the use OF
such means place the aeronaut at the
mercy of the elements. Their hope
now lies in the principle Of the oyster
shell which boys sail to such Crafty
ing distances and comparatively small
muscular effo-t, and the laws which
account for soaring birds like the buzz
yards. Prof. Langley, Mr.. Maxim and
Herr Lilienthal are one In their re-
lance on this aeroplane theary. The
mechanical regularity Of the aero
planes motion is similar to the gliding
of a rapid skater over thin ise the
faster he goes the less danger Is there
of sinking. So Prof. Langley has used
in the building Of his last and most
successful machine substances actually
a thousand times heavier than the air
which promised to support them, and
he relies entirely on the extensive area
Of the planes, shaped something like
the wings Of q hawk, and their angle
to the currents Of air, to achieve buoy
ancy. The oyster shell analogy SdoreS
luminous explanation to every man
who remembers the ecstasy Of seeing
the white disc soar away and up long
after the earth should, by all sHFeri-

shell within the limits Of weight, the
more astonishing the flight that RESULT

sile were inclined downward inEteAd OF
slightly upward. In the former case
the shell darted instantly to earth and
tie throw fell so much short Of the
average heaving of a pebble as the more
scientific skim would have exeseded 1t.

Bazin's New Steamboat.


The Family Herald some months ago
gave an illustration Of the proposed
steamship to be built by NJ. Bazin, a
French marine engineer, wherein the
vessel was shown mounted on huge
wheels, which enable 1t to roll over
the waves. The idea lying behind his
proposition can be shown by an ex-
pertinent. Take q hollow lens shaped
disk, something like two saacers Joined
together, which can be held vertically
in the water. Plunge this disk into
the water and push 1t forward. You
will find that it will go ahead for some
feet, and will then be stopped by the
resistance OF the water. But II, before
you push 1t, you give it, by means OF
spindle crossing its center, q sufficient
ly rapid rotary movement, you will
find that the disk will, 50 to speak,
saw the water instead OF cleaving 1t,
and will thus make ten times the dis
lance. The first rolling boat construct
ed under these conditions will shortly
be launched on the Seine. What spec
tators will see in this vessel will be
q large platform, holding the boilers,
machinery, saloons, cabins, ETC., sup
ported on each side by movable hollow
wheels. The inventor predicts that by
these boats a speed Of q mile minute
will be obtaiped-a speed suficient to
bring the continents Of America and
Europe within four days d each other.

How Seals Catch se.-eull.


The sea lion Is probably the clumsiest
animal In the world. He likes to bask
In the sun all day, and when he moves
he IL exceedingly sluggish and awk-
ward. It has often been wondered how
this animal manages TO secure its IA
vorite food-wild sea fowl Sea yulls
are 30 wild that II is difficult even for
man TO get within gun shot Of one. The
seal seems to realize that II would be
waste Of time to attempt to crawl up
upon the gulls as they rest upon the
water, and catch them unawares. So
he watches until the gulls are soaring
slowly through the air close to the
waves Then the seal dives into the
sea and swims underneath the water
for some distance. BY the time he has
managed to swim about q hundred feet
the gull has forgotten the presence OF
its enemy. This gives the seal his OPP
poftunity. He cautiously rises to the
surface OF the water at some distance
from the point at which he dived, and
allows merely the tip Of his great nose
to appear above the water. Remaining
in this position, he gives his enormous
body q rotary motion, SO that his nose
describes a circle on the surface Of the
ocean. He does this 50 skillfully that
to the gull his nose looks like a water
bug at play. This catches the gull's
eye, and it at once darts down with
the speed OF an arrow, aiming straight
for the little dot. The seal sees 1t COM

Just how long the black diamonds"

but even the earliest period set down
