NO ONE WANTS THE cHARGE
DIFFICULTY IN OBTAINING A PASTOR

THE REMOVAL OF THE REV. DIR, HOLLIS n.
CALLED BY THE EXPULSION OF HIs SUP.
PoRrERs FROM MEMBERSHIP IN THE
CHURcH-A LIVELY MEETING OF
THE CONGREGATION
LAST SUNDAY
The factions in the congregation Of St. Paurs
German Evangelical Church. Bayonne. have In
dulged in another sensational row. and the element
led by ex-Mayor Farr has voted the expulsion from
church membership OF the entire contingent which
supported the Rev. Frederick w. Hollis. who was
ousted last November after passionate Of almost
fifteen years. The latest ructon in the long-ex!st-
Ing dissension took place last Sunday afternoon
at secret meeting held by tie congregation.
The cause OF the renewal OF the conflict the
demand by the friends OF the former pastor that
the congregation pay back to him 81 900 which he
Rad advanced in order to pay off a mortgage upon
the church. The money represented his savings
for years. and a. he Is In stratened circumstances
the return OF the money he loaned would be Of
considerable benefit to him. His friends sug.
gested that the amount be raised for him by put
ting another mortgage on the church property
When DR.. Hollis was relieved OF the pastorate, the
members Of the congregation promised to give him
q small pension. SO far. ne has not received .

distress reached Bayonne recently, and It was In
order TO repair the effects Of the congregations
neglect that Sundays meeting was called.
The Farr faction insisted that the church debt
already too heavy to permit the negotiation
Of another loan Then the Hollis contingent as
serted that they could produce a person willing
to accept q mortgage under the conditions. The
FAR faction slrenuously objected to the PROPOSE
ton, and, being In the majority. defeated It, The
Hollis forces were incensed by this continued III.
treatment of their former pastor that they veAe-
mently attacked ex-Mayor Farr. who holds mort
gage on the church property Then the session de-
generated into an exciting quarrel, In which mem:
bers OF both factions shouted ordinations ana
recrimlnations at each other The dispute resulted
in the vote to expel twenty-one members, repre-.
senting the Hollis element.
Another cause of trouble was brought before ire
meeting when letter from the Rev. Peter Luker,
OF Chicago declining the call TO the pastorate was
read The fact that he was the fourth clergyman
afiliated with the Missouri Synod to refuse the
pastorate led the Hollis people TO taunt the.r OPP
ponents about their inability to get pastor " 70

Bursting Fly-Wheels.

The bursting of fly wheel is almost
unheard Of in England, notwithstand-
ing the high speed engines we now have
running, yet in the United States fly
wheel casualties have become matter
of weekly report. In England we have
many thousands of high speed cast iron
fly wheels and very large wheels I'D to
sixty tons weight running with very
high periphery speed, and they all run
safely, and yet in the States they say:
The sudden advent of the electrical an
pamtus and its high speeds found peo-
pie making fly wheels of cast iron, with
narrow factor of safety, or, indeed, no
factor of safety at all, if we consider
the impossibility of detecting inherent
strains and imperfections in this mate
rial. No one can know the value of
material nodded into form at a TEN.
perature of 1000 degrees and then cool.
ed down to 10th of this temperature
nor can they judge internal structure
by surface indications. The fact is that
cast iron is not suitable material for
fly wheels that are to be driven at high
speed, nor is 1t necessary to make them
of this material. There is not even the
claim of cheapness in their favor if the
methods of making such wheels of
wrought iron and steel were once work
ed out"
Twenty years ago Scotch firm, who
had to make a large fly wheel for a
spinning mill, riveted up a box rim,
made from rolled plates, and filled it
with cemented masonry or "grout." and
did very sensible thing.-London En-

Childish DiDlOmacy.

We all know the childs aptness ID

and prohibitions. If, for example, hek
told to keep perfectly quiet because
mother or father wants to sleep, he will
prettily plead for the reservation Of
whispering ever so softly. If he is bid

he will resort to sly, indirect remindeE
of what he wants, as when boy of five
years and half whispered audibly, q

artfully indicated the fact by pointing

When more difficult duties come to be
enforced and the neophyte in the higher
morality is hidden to be considerate for
others, and even to sacrifice his own
comfort for theirs, he is apt to manifest
good deal of skill in adjusting the
counsel Of perfection to young weak

little boy, Edgar by name, aged five
years and three quarters, was going out
to take tea with some little girls. The
mother, as is usual on such occasions,
primed him with special directions as
to behavior, saying, Remember to give
way to them, like father does to me

The Swinging Earth.

1t is known that the poles of the
earth, instead of remaining fixed in po-
sition, revolve in small circles, or curves
which are nearly circles, in period of
427 days, and that another motion Of
revolution, considerable shorter, also
affects the position of the poles. The
cause of this "wobbling" is not known,
but Prof. Simon Newcomb has recent
ly suggested that 1t may be due to cur
rents in the oceans and in the atmos-
phere affecting the equilibrium of the
globe

Prof. S. P. Langley, the secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution, has con-
structed a tiying-machine, driven by n
steam engine carried by the machine,
which made two successful flights at
Occoquan, Va, on May g. The machine
Is not large enough to carry a man. and
is only intended as a model for expert
ment. 1t is called aerodrome, mean
Ing "air-runner." Its framework is of
steel, and the length of its wings. or
aeroplanes, from tip TO tip is fourteen
feet. No gas is used to lift the machine,
the ascensional force being derived
from propellers driven by the portable
steam engine; and this force is made
effective through the shape and pitch of
the wings. In the air the aerodrome
resembles an enormous bird sailing in
broad, regular curves and gradually
rising. When the steam gives out the
machine, instead Of tumbling headlonC
to the earth, settles down gently and
right side up. The engine used at pres.
ent is capable of driving the aerodrome
about half mile. On account of Prot.
Langley's high standing in the world
of science great interest has been
aroused in his experiments.

The fact is generally known that pure
water appears blue when light is trans.
mitted through sufficient thickness of
1t, and that when opaque particles are
suspended in it the hue of the water is
greenish. But while pure water looks
blue when light passes freely through
1t, yet when it is contained in a deep,
opaque receptacle, like the basin of A
lake or the ocean, it ought to absorb
all light and look black. Experience
shows, however, that the deepest parts
of the Mediterranean. for instance, an.
pear not black but intensely blue. This
has been supposed to be caused by mi.
mute particles held in suspension. but
the recent experiments of Prof. Spring
at Liege suggest different explano.
ton. He has found that warmer cur.
rents passing through pure water in.
terrupt its transparency, even when the
difference OF temperature is very slight.

Monsieur Bureau, French traveller,
disposeS of the old stories about the
travellers tree" in Madagascar, which
has been represented as a great boon
10 thirsty wanderers on account of the
water stored in its cup-shaped leaf
stalks. He says the tree grows only
where there is plentiful supply of
water, and where rain falls frequently
all the year round, and that since the
leaves are situated at the top of the
trees, which are very tall, the thirsty
traveller would have difficulty in reach
ing them, even if it were necessary to
do so in order to find water.

Nature Worked Back ward.

An interesting story Of a reversal of
the ordinary course of nature, which
cost market gardener dear, is told by
Miss Ormerod, the English naturalist.
Watercress is eagerly devoured by cad
dis worms, but caddis worms are ia
vOrite food of trout. The trout in turn
have a voracious enemy in herons,
which ordinarily catch the fish after
they have grown fat on caddis worms.
Recently it happened that large grow
er Of watercress had three-quarters of
his crop ruined by the ravages of cad
dis worms. On investigation it was
found that the trout, which ordinarily
protected the plants from the worms,
had been devoured, ahead of time. so to
speak, by flock of hungry herons
which in thus reversing the course of
events, had brought disaster to the own
er of the watercress.

 "Wha,t have you to say about the color of canaigre tanned leather?"
 "1t makes a nice yellow color, equal to any oak tan, think. I have not tanned for anything but harness and saddle leather My saddle leather is of good color, has good texture and is full and sott.'
 William Loibenstine, Mir. Hensley's s tanner, has been brought up in the tanning business and learned his trade in an oak bark tannery in Ohio. He told reporter for The Star that ca naigre tanned leather was in his opin- ion of as good quality as oak tanned ; that it was as plump and we'll filled and of as good color He said that his only experience with it was in Mr. Hensley's tannery, but that he. was satisfied that it was cheaper than oak bark, and quite as satisfactory, and that it could be used to good advan- tage in western and southwestern tan neries. He thought it could be made practicable and a paying investment in just such tanneries as that of Mr. Hensley's in small towns, where hides accumulated without profit to the ship per.
 MT. Hensley further stated that he had invested about $2,0O0 in his plant and had about $3, 1000 worth of stock, and that the net profits on his invest ment could be set at 15 per cent. He thought he could get a plant equally as good for much less money now, as his inexperience in the beginning has cost him something. He has more or ders for his product than he can fill, as the capacity of his tannery is about 800 hides year.

 Dr. Brown, the only witness for the prosecution, was responsible for the verdict by his own testimony. He testified that he paid the money to Mrs. Davidson, and when asked if the money was paid through fear, he said it was paid only to secure written evi- dence in the form of receipt against Mrs. Davidson. Brown was asked the question half dozen times in various forms, but stuck ito his reply. There upon the court instructed the jury to a5quit, which was done.
