The Match Industry In America.

The first mandatory OF friction
matches was located i'll the center Ut the
Connecticut valley, in the historic COM
munity known as Chicopee street. The
principle of this invention had been
thought out i'll Europe, but bright Yam
kee minds were quick to catch the idea
from across the water, and the manu-
facture progressed as rapidly here as
there The credit for this invention Is
probably due TO John Walker, chem
list, who lived in England in Stockton
on-Tees. He was experimenting with
chlorate of potash and found that IL
could be instantly ignited by friction
when coated OH stick with phosphorus
and drawn through folded sandpaper'
This discovery was made in 1929, and,
the attention of Michael Faraday called
TO the new idea, it soon became popu-
lar. ard the manufacture was started
nearly simultaneously in Europe and
America. The first factory for the max
ing of friction matches Oh large scale
is stated to have been established III
Vienna in 1888, but the factory on Chic
once street was running nearly as early
as this, if not before Springfield he

Number of Newspapers published.

A recent statistical estimate places
the number of newspapers which are
annually printed at the enormous figure
of $4,000, 900, 900. A mathematician,
apparently with considerable time at
his disposal, in order to give more
comprehensive idea of this number, has
calculated that surface OF 30, 900
square kilometers could be covered with
these papers. The paper alone weighs
781,24O tons. In case one machine was
forced to print these millions at the
rate of one second 1888 years would be
necessary. Placed one upon another the
papers would reach to the height OF SO,-
900 meters. Assuming that a person de-
votes five mipues day to reading his
paper, the time used by the entire popu-
lation of the world in reading news
papers each year amounts to 100000
years New York Tribune.

Proof Against Snake Poison.

Recent experiments have proved that
animals may be rendered artificiaily
immune from snake poison. Large AMI
mails destined to produce antivenomous
serum are injected from the outset with
gradually increasing quantities OF the
venom of the cobra mixed with dimin.
isbing quantities of to 60 solution OF
bvpochlorite of lime. When an animal
has acquired a sufficient immunity, the
venoms from large number OF diner-
ent species of snakes are injected. Inc
treatment must last at least 10 months
before the serum is sufficiently active 10
be used for the purpose of treatment.
A large number Of animals have been
yaccinated by this method at the Pas
teur institute at Lille during the past
three years.

BETHLEHEM INSTITUTIONAL
High Men in Lowly Places Giving Ur
All for God

AT Bethlehem Institutional church
the pastor Rev Dana w. Bartlett, spoke
on the text Neh. iii-13. He cited the
example of Christ washing the disciples
feet, and thus setting an example of
humility. We may not be able to go to
foreign fields as a missionary, but we
can do the work which is placed before
us. God always opens the way and
leads the steps of the Christian who is
thoroughly consecrated, filled with an
intense longing for souls. Humble
yourselves under the mighty hand of
God that He may exalt you in due
season." Numerous instances were set
forth of kings and mobiles going out
among the poor and needy, bringing
succor and aid, of men and women of
wealth and high position giving up
their lives to rescuing those in misery
and sin. Many people go Stunning
through curiosity. Almost anyone will
give at least part of loaf to the strang-
er at the gate. God wants us, however,
to go out into the highways searching
for the lost. Are you holding aloof?
Are you a self-seeker? Get right down
into the midst of the poor and wretched
the sin n-burdened and oppressed, and
minister to them in the name Of our
blessed Lord and Savior. and We shall
have rest unto your souls"
