Buried Thermomefara.

Recent observations made by Prof.
A. Agassiz in the Calumet and Hecla
mine, near Lake Superior, to ascertain
the rate at which temperature in
creases toward the center of the earth
give a slower rate of increase than has
been found in previous recorded obser-
vations. The observations were made
at various depths by placing register
ing thermometers in holes drilled ten
feet into the rock and plugged with
wood and clay. After the thermome-
ters had remained in place three
months the holes were opened and the
results obtained. The highest tempera-
ture recorded at a depth of 1850 feet
was 70 degrees Fahrenheit. At a depth
Of ten feet the rock temperature was
SO degrees. Between these limits there
was a column Of rock, or 4,475 feet,
with a difference Of temperature Of 20
degrees, or an average increase of l
degree for each 223.7 feet. The obser-
vations in the st. Gothard tunnel cave
an increase Of / degree for each Gu feet
and those of Lord Kelvin elsewhere
made the increase degree for each 81
feet. The thickness of the crust of the
earth deduced from Lord Kelvin's rate
of increase of temperature downward
was twenty mics; from the st. Gothard
rate, twenty-six miles. Prof. Agassfz'
rate would make the crust over eighty
miles thick. 1t is conceded, however,
that the close proximity of the enor-
nous a of cold water In Lake Su-
perior is a possible source of error in
observation made in the Calumet and
Heela mine.-PopulaT Science Monthly.

II RIBBON SASH.
1t Will BE Seen on Street Gowns 40
Well as on Evening Ones.

1t Will BE Seen on Street Gowns 40
Well as on Evening Ones.
The wide ribbon sash is to be worn
generally again this autumn, and our
modistes have arranged that they shall
be a part of the street costumes no less
than for evening gowns. A number of
new features, however, will be intro
duced. Hand-painted sashes and
sashes with fringed ends will be seen,
also those having the ends finished
with an edging Of feathers. Many
debutantes will wear with their party
gowns sashes of flmy tulle. These
sashes, when tied in a big butterfly
bow at the back, will give a delight
fully airy touch to a costume. One
way of wearing the sash will be to
haVe it form part of the bodice, being
tied in a bow on the left shoulder.
Another new way is to let it start
from the back and be drawn over the
corsage, much like a very short bolero.
Right in front it lies in a bow, with
fun loops and long ends. When the
sash is worn around the waist it is very
broad in front, tying at the back in
small loops, with long ends. This is
one of the favorite ways in which the
sash is worn in Paris. Colors which
promise to be most in favor are the
new red shades: A cherry pink is one
of the latest exquisite colors, also a
soft, brownish cherry. Any Of the new
red shades in the changeabIe glace rib
bon, with the black edge, are most ef-
fective. Also all the varying tints Of
violet and mauve will be fashionable.
For street costumes the newest sash is
of black satin, about eight inches wide.
1T looks much like a corselet in front.
fastening with two small bows. In
the back it fits the figure, and is
trimmed with two rows Of buttons,
which give it the appearance Of fasten-
ing by means OF the buttons. This
corselet sash is high in favor with
French eouturieres. = Philadelphia

IA REMARKABLE CASE.
ILL SINCE GIRLHoOD. NOW a
PICTURE OF HEALTH.

From the Star, Valparaiso. Ind.
The attention of the Star having
been called to several cases of radical
cures effected by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, it was determin-
ed to Investigate some Of the more no
table of these cases, with q view to
disseminating exact information on the
subject and benetiting others who were
suffering. Prominent among those
who had experienced benefits from
the use of this remedy was mentioned
Mrs. Mary Noren, wife Of John Noren,
a prosperous farmer, living northeast
of Valparaiso, Ind, n to her a re-
porter was accordingly dispatched.
Mrs. Noren was found busily en-
gagged in household duties, but she
found time to detail her experience,
and was willing and ven anxious that
the benefits she had felt should be
told for the benefit of those who had
suffered as she did.

household work. I tried different ply
sicians and used numerous remedies
but all in vain, until one day last fall
I happened to read of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. My hus-
band got three boxes from Mr.. G. d.
Rushton, the druggist, and I began to
use them. From the first l began to
feel relief, and before the three boxes
were gone I was nearly well. The
constipation was cured and the other
troubles were so much relieved that l
felt better than I had felt for years.

She Was Very Much Interested.

Death comes in many remarkable
forms. The past week has witnessed
two strange tragedies. A young girl,
interested in a romance, sat on a rock
at a New England resort, and read un-

she was drowned. In New York a
stray skyrocket hit a pedestrian in the
mouth, and sent it's exploding stars
down his throat and he died in terrible
agony.

Death expected hourly.

AS we go to press this evening,

death is expected hourly. Jimmie.

familiar figure in this place for the
last eight years, having made his

quiet and unobtrusive interest in
passing events but preferred to be
let alone in his chair by the store
stove. During the winter he fell
heavily on the side walk fracturing
two ribs, and he has not been we'll
since that time. About two weeks
ago what seemed TO be gangreen set
IN in his hand and he has been sink
ing rapidly since then. His brother
is constantly at his bed side and is
doing all in his power to prolong
life and make his final days as COM
Portable as possible.
Mr.. Peabody is u years old, hav-
ing seen born in New York state on
the 18th of February 1924. He
married a young lady in Syracuse,

came went to Minnesota whore he

has never been appreciated, that he

will ask him to be president.
l conclude that my chances for
nomination are to say the least pre-
carious; but have learned from
old Office holders that there are
expenses and drawbacks, SO it may
be just so we'll. They tell me 1

over the country, and in other ways
show my hospitality and sooiability,
that the profits of the Office would be
all expended in campaign expenses
and there would only be the honor
left. That, am afraid, would not
go far toward paying my debts or
supporting my large and increasing
family.
You may imagine that when l first
realized the situation I was little
down hearted; but last night was
assured that money without interest,
and all we want of it, would be fur
nished to the people as soon as our
progressive populist leader and pro-
fessor OF Finance can be made presi-

That gave me some hope, for SEN

brethren tell me that we privates
will be better off than Office holders
are now, for we will not have their
care and anxiety.
The only missgivings | now have,
is, that If they sweep the country
like whirlwind there will be ruin
and wreck in their wake: but older

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

"To Him that rideth upon the
heaven OF heavens 10. He doth send
out his voice and the reaper5 are
gathered in"
Last Wednesday morning, March
18th God saw fit in his infinite wis
dom, to remove from our midst our
very much beloved and respected
pastor, G.. 3. Bailey.
"Truly God moves in mysteri
Gus way" How little we thought as
we listened to his divine teachings
Sabbath evening taat in little more
than forty eight hours he would be
cold and silent in death.
AS our sainted pastor lies in his
nothingness and weakness, then can
God use him in death as in life. The
quickeniag power of Gods divine
presence was felt in his death, as was
clearly demonstrated at the funeral
services and also on the following
Sabbath during quarterly services,
by the wonderful outpoUring of the
Holy Spirit and conversion Of souls.
Brother Bailey had been with us
about sixteen months. We fully ex-
pected him to be returned to us an
other conference year, but he has
been called from the church militant
to the church triumphant May the
good seed sown by his faithful and
earnest efforts continue to grow and
bear fruit to the glory and honor of
God. He being dead yet speaketh.
We thank the dear Lord for
giving him to us for a season and
now we bow submissive to His will,
and say, "Not our will but thine
be done"
May the everlasting arms of love
be around his beloved wife and give
her sustaining grace in this her time
of bereavement and at last may we
all clasp hands on the evergreen
shore, where parting shall be no
more.

THE LAST OF EARTH.
Tokens Of the High Esteem in which the Rev.
Geo. E Bailey was held.

The funeral of the Rev. G.. E. Bal.
ley, last Tuesday afternoon WAS very
largely attended, which shows the
high esteem in which he and his
afflicted wife were held. The SER
vices were conducted by presiding
elder Ryan of jamestown, but re.
marks were made by Rev. Scott Of

zer of LaMoure and Vincent of
Oakes. Mrs. Bailey left Saturday
morning with the body. for Pensyl-
vania She was accompanied by
Mr.. Bailey's brother who arrived
from the east Friday night.
Rev Geo. E. Bailey, the beloved
pastor OF the M. E. church, has gone
to his reward, but his work is not
finished as no one would doubt who
was present at the quarterly services
of that church last Sabbath.
They began in the morning at 10
o'clock with the usual Love Feast
which was we'll attended by Oakes
and the country appointments: at
the close OF which the invitation was
given to all who wished to unite with

The ordinance of baptism was ad
ministered to those persons above
named and also to one of Mr.. Sla-
ter's lit le boys of Hudson and Chas
BLY, was taken into the church in full
membership. Elder Ryan ther
preached one of his powerful SER
nous, taking for his subject Fellow
ship with Jesus; this was followed
by the administration of the Lords
Supper which was partaken of by an
unusually large number. -'
Elder Ryan could not remain fo
the evening so services were conduct
ed by Mr.. Witham, of Guelph.
The usual prayer and testimony
meeting was held after the preach
ing services and manv of the young
people for whom Mr.. Bailey hae
been praying and pleading, took ac
tive part.
The spirit of Mr.. Bailey seemed te
be hovering near through out The
day and his loving heart must hav,
been made to rejoice over the an
swers to his many prayers, and th'
yielding at last by some to his earn
est pleadings.
The day will ever be remembered
by the people here as the most victo-
rious known in the history of the NJ

feels that to a large extent it was the
result of tho earnest and faithful
work of Mr., Bailey and his devoted
and consecrated wife. Elder Ryal
