Most Momentous
Of All Questions.

DR.. John Hemphill OF the Calvary Pres
byterian Church preached last night from
the text, Acts 1856 31-"What must
l do to be saved ?" He told the story OF
Paul and Silas being delivered from Jail
by the angels, and described the two men
lying with cruelty bruised bodies in the
silence of the cells. Continuing, he said !:
CUDDENLY that silence was broken by q
voice singing songs of joy and triumph
~ and praise. Then there was another
sound-a rushing, jarring, awful sound,
and the foundations were shaken and the fet-
ters fell from the limbs of the prisoners. The
frightened jailer said TO the delivered men,
the most momentous of all questions. The
answer is, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

ST. LOUIS Mo, july 25.-The Twenty
fifth United States Infantry Bicycle
Corps, which reached this city last night,
completing their 1900-mile ride from Fort
Missoula, Mont, in forty days. thirty five
of which were actually spent on the road,
is encamped a Forest Park
The distance covered on the trip was
1900 miles, the daily average being 522s
After leaving the Nebraska sandhills tn e
average was over sixty miles day. Lieu
tenant Moss said to-day:
THE trip proved my contention tha t
the bicycle has place in modern war
fare. In every kind OF weather and over
all sorts Of roads we averaged fifty miles a
day, and at the end OF the journey we ar e
all good physical condition.
Seventeen tires and half dozen frames
is the sum of our damage. The practical
result of the trip shows that an army
bicycle corps can travel twice as fast as
cavalry or infantry under any conditions
and at one third the cost and effort"

word "high" means high barometrc pressure and
is usually accompanied by fair weather: "low"
refers to low pressure. and is usually preceded

Lows" usually first appear on the Washington
coast. When the pressure is high in the interior

but when the Glow is inclosed with isobars OF

Sailing up the coast in native craft,
you may almost fancy yourself one OF
the early explorers skirting the lovely
shores of some undiscovered country.
As You sprawl on the bamboo decking
under the shadow of the immense palm
leaf sail-which is so ingeniously rig
ged that, if taken aback, the boat must
turn turtle, unless, by the blessing OF
the gods, the mast parts asunder-you
look out through half closed eyelids at
a very beautiful coast. The waves
dance and glimmer and shine in the
sunlight, the long stretch of sand is as
yellow as buttercup, and the fringes
of graceful casuarina trees culver like
aspens in the breeze and simmer in
the heat haze. The wash Of the waves
against the boats side and the ripple OF
the bow make music in your drowsy
ears and as you glide through cluster
after cluster of thickly wooded islands
you lie in that delightful comatose state
In which you have all the pleasure OF
existence, with none of the labor OF
living.-"In Court and Kampong,
by Hugh Clifford.

AN IDEAL.

Something to live for!
Something that stretches far beyond
The earthly limits of each fancy fond
Something that draws us by pure loneliness,
And ever seems more fair as on we press,
So drawing nearer-thinking to attain
We see 1t still afar and losing, gain
M ore from the added zeal we needs must show
To win our prize, and ever higher go!
As some strong traveller through dessert
wild.
Sees snowy SUBMITS up to heaven piled
And braves the brstling dangers but to hnd
The misty mountains still but dim outlined !:
And though as nearer yet his way he wends
Fresh beauty to his soul the prospect lends,
OF rosy shadows fitting DER the snow,
And peaks with golden coronets that glow
Yet may he never scale those stainless slopes
Or plant his conquering banner where ne
hopes.
But by high striving towards a lofty eno.,
With ewes that ever on pure SUBMITS bend.
Through seeming failure claims selt-victory
And, ne'er attaining, wins eternally.

THE LOBSTER TANK.
An Aquarium Exhibit That Many View
With Lively Interest.


With Lively Interest.
There are few tanks at the aquarium
more interesting than that containing
the Holsters. The Holsters there now are
not great, like some of the monsters
that have been exhibited, but they are
lively and in good condition, and the
display of their characteristics as they
move about or pause to eat is almost
startling to one unfamiliar with the
lobster in life.
Whoever has picked up live lobster
in a market and found the big claws
dropping, as they will if the lobster
hasn't much life left in him, is sure to
be interested when he sees the lobster
here walking off briskly on his slender
legs, carrying his big claws in front OF
him clear of the ground and his heavy
tail clear likewise. His ordinary man
ner of progression is forward, and when
he turns he swings his heavily weighted
projecting ends with facility, but II he
meets an obstruction or an enemy his
usual way istto dart backward and per-
haps diagonally upward through the
water, which the lobster can do with
great suddenness.
The Holsters feeding apparatus IS
wonderful. About the mouth there are
lots of little attachments, all the time
in motion when the lobster is feeding,
which slice the food off in little shreds
as the lobster holds it up to his mouth.
If another lobster should come up, this
lobster would know it, even though the
other came up behind or at the side, and
would turn to defend himself or to fight
or to flee or to warn the other away.
The Holsters long feelers he can pro
iect one in one direction and the othel
in another, and with these, as he move
forward, back or sidewise, he guard
against danger.
There are perhaps dozen Holsters il
the tank. In the center of the tank Their
is a little rock. There is likely to b
seen upon this rock little lobster, no
a dull, old lobster lying down, but Al
alert young lobster standing up and SUP
porting easily his big claws and nj
powerful tail--a young lobster ready
, eat, to fight or to run way.-New Yor

PEELED by the English authorities to

uttered continuous native gurglings,
partly like turtledoves and partly like
the halleluliah CALCULATIONS at one OF our
African Methodist camp meetings. They
all appeared very happy during this
performance, which continued SO long
that calculated the amount OF energy
expended to represent about ten miles
of unpaid travel. Though the body
dress was uniform, there was magnifi-
cent diversity regarding head decora-
ton. One would wear common straw
hat hung around the brim with tassels
suggestive Of pagoda, and the chief
delight of the wearer was in shaking
his head for the pleasure of making the
tassels dance. Another had fastened a
pair of COW horns on either side OF his
head Immediately above the ears, and
he grinned at me SO effusively that l
concluded he must have taken great
pains with the construction OF this
hideous headpiece. The kinky top OF a
third had been interlaced with an enor-
nous profusion of long strings of wool,
to which small fluffy balls were at
tached at short intervals.
The head of negro SO decorated
looked like huge black mop or one
of those Skye terrier dogs about whom
one is never safe in saying which is the
other end. In repose it is uncanny, but
