The Chicago Record has prepared q
postal savings bank bill, which will
undoubtedly be introduced in congress
next month. The idea is a good one,
and in a general way will meet with
the approval Of adherents of every po-
litical party. The bill as drafted has
some faults. however, which will un-
doubtedly be remedied in congress. AS
1t now reads 1t fixes a limit on indi-
vidual deposits. and also fixes a time
limit on Withdrawals. These defects
will undoubtedly be remedied by
amendments allowing the depositor a
limitless account, together with the
privilege Of checking out whenever he
pleases. Another defective provision
allows the postofice department to re-
loan to national banks and on state
and municipal improvement bonds.
This section will probably be amended
with the provision that no money shall
be loaned on bonds bearing date pre-
vious to passage of said bill, and that
all bonds shall be for improvements
made after such bill becomes law.
with these amendments the bill would
undoubtedly give general satisfaction.

Since 1868, or during the last twenty

A GIANT ELECTRIC MAGNET.

lieves that it is the safest way possible
OF handling certain classes of iron and
steel products. The magnets are so
designed that it is impossible for the
men who are placing them to receive
a shock.
Electricians who have studied this
matter say that this is the beginning
OF a new era in the appliance of cleo
trlcity to mechanical purposes. Inven-
tive genius is making it more and more
possible every day to utilize this DOW
erful factor, and at the same time place
1t beyond the power of persons who
are working about it to receive even
the slightest injury. When this fact
has been thoroughly demonstrated it
is believed that electricity will find
fields of usefulness in directions that
are seemingly barred to it at present.

It was not long after the introduce

the operator pulled the switch out,
thereby breaking the current for an in
slant. He found that by this opera
ton n or two plates could be dropped
off at each breaking of the current, the
plates next to the magnet retaining
sufficient magnetism to hold them to
the steel of the magnet itself until the
current was again switched on. This
operation was repeated until only one
plate remained attached to the mag
net, and it was then an easy matter
to deposit it in the desired location.
The ~concentric pole magnet, as one
of these in use is termed, was especial
ly designed for handling the hot plates
and ingots of steel. In fact. there has
been no difficulty whatever in handling
a 5000 or 5000 pound ingot at a low red
heat. This latter feature seems one
OF the most wonderful to those who Wis

complishment of electricity. We have
all been taught that magnets attracted
cold steel, but it is certainly a novelty
to see one of these magnets lifting the

The effective use of electric magnets
in this manner has been limited. But
where the iron or steel is to be handled

whatever that it is the most economi-

this mitigation of horrors is the result
of the sensible course pursued by the

THE END.
sO.CALLED SAYINGS OF CHRIST.

Several Possible interpretations OF the
Most Important Of the "Logia."
Prof. Adolf Harnack, of the Univer-
sity of Berlin, has just published an
interesting monograph dealing with
the Logia, the so-called sayings OF
Christ, recently discovered by Messrs.
Grenfell and Hunt. DR.. Harnack calls
attention to a possible Interpretation
of the most commentator of the
Logia, q verse in Ecclesiastes. The
verse is the ninth in the tenth chap
ter: "Whoso removeth stones shall be
hurt Herewith, and he that cleaveth
wood shall be endangered thereby" "
Prof. Harnack thus translates the most
important of the Logia: Wherever
they Ii. e., my disciples) are, they are
not deserted by God, and as one is
alone, even so 1 am with him. Raise
the stone and thou shalt find Me ;
cleave the wood and I am there" "
These words are believed by DR.. Har-
mack to refer to ordinary handiwork.
He also points out their appropriate
ness as spoken by carpenter. DR.. M.
r. James, in the contemporary" "
gives two other possible interpreta-
tions: (D That Christ is everywhere
and in everything. (2) That be can
be found only with ditliculty-as by
heaving up of the stone and cleaving
the wood; analogous to the saying,
"Seek, and We shall find; knock, and
it shall be opened unto YOU" To use
the Interpretation suggested by DR..
Bacon in O recent article in The Out
look appears more probable than either
of the above namely, that the true
worshipper can always find Christ,
wherever the stone may be reared for
an altar, and by him who cleaves the
wood for the sacrifice.-The Outlook.

direct manner; but unfortunately we
don't. We're not even sure that we're
anywhere near knowing; but we think
we are. Do you knew what the latest
theory of sleep is? Of course you
don't. It's only about two years old,
and it isn't yet in condition for popu-
lar consumption. 1t is too complica-
ted for me to explain to you there
are too many technicalities and pro-
visional hypotheses and other involv-
ed things about it. But the general
idea of it is simple enough. You know
there are such things as nerve cells,
don't you? Well, we used to suppose
that they were continuous and formed
a permanent line of communication
for ideas to pass over. Now we find,
or at least we think we find, that they
are only contiguous that they connect
one with another by means of prolon-
cations. Sometimes they contract and
draw in their prolongations, and then
they are as much shut off and isolated
as medieval baron used to be in his
castle when he raised the drawbridge,
or as two cities are nowadays when
blizzard comes along and blows down
the telegraph wires. That is sleep.
Sometimes few of the nerve cells re-
main connected and exchange ideas;
that is what dreams are. When you're
awake they're all connected, and as
you 90 to sleep they contract and shut
off the current. Pretty theory, isn't
lit? Well, in your case, say, some
things wrong that prevents the cells
or some of them, from contracting and
keeps them excited. So the thing to
do is to try to soothe them, and that's
what I've been trying to do. Don't
worry about going to sleep, and maybe
in time the balky cells will get calmed
down and will contract and then you'll
! get all the sleep you are entitled to.
Try soothing them. And I suppose
you expect me to give you prescrip-
tion besides all this good advice and
wisdom ?"

have to write dispatches to 90 right to
the captain at Laramie. You know the
whole Platte valley and how to get
across and reach the Sidney road be-
low?' Of course he did.
"Then the lieutenant says for God g

Suddenly reused from sleep, Fred
was bewildered for an instant; could
only realize that his loved benefactors
and friends were in deadly peril and
that he was chosen to haste and rescue
them. Dawson lifted him into the sad
die, pressed some money into his hand
to buy food when he reached the SETTLE
ment or Sidney in case he met no trav-
elers this side, led him to the waters
edge and bade him lose not an instant
He never dreamed of harm or wrong or
plot until his wounded father told him
the foul charge against him after his
long and gallant ride that blazing Sum
day.
Then for a moment the little man
broke down and sobbed, and old war
worn soldiers in the court turned away
with glistening eyes, and the president,
rapping on the table, huskily ordered
the room to be cleared. Charlton g arms
were around his trumpeter's shoulders
as he led him to the open air and to his
fathers bedside "Clearedp' he said in
answer to the longing look in the SER
geant's eyes. Cleared There isn't q
man, woman or child in all the post
that doesn't know the verdict and that
Dawson is doomed to four years in
prison." And then he left them to-
gether and alone.
Dawson's trial and confession settled
it all. He himself was the thief, who
sought in this way to replace the money
lost in gambling and to throw upon
Fred Waller, should he escape, the bur-
den Of the crime. But merciful God
had watched over the boy in his brave
and loyal effort, had guided him in
safety through host Of savage foes and
led him on to honor and vindication in
the end. For months there was no hap
pier boy OIL all the wide frontier than
the little hero of the Sidney route, no
happier father than brave old Sergeant
Waller.
Long years afterward, riding one
evening into a cavalry camp on the

taohe was almost the color Of the faded

Despite dust and the rough prairie dress
no finer soldier had met their eyes in
the long column that went fitting by.
"Who is that young first sergeant?"
"That%' answered Cross in surprise.
