WOMEN RULED OUT.

Trustees Of State University Disagree With
Chancellor Boggs.
Athens, Ga, June 12.-The board of
trustees of the state university, at a
meeting this morning, formally voted
against taking any steps looking to the
admission of women to the university
until authorized to do so by the legis-

This disposes of the matter for the
present, but the leaders of the move
ment will continue the agitation with
view to securing legislative action.
Acting on Chancellor Boggs' recon-

Savannah, June 12.-An advance of
about 8 cents per bushel has been re-
corded in wheat the past week, 2 cents
of which was lost yesterday, but over
half of this was recovered today. The
large premium of July over Septembe.s

Harder Than a Diamond.

The new substance, harder than the
diamond, invented by the French saw
ant, Moissan, is saidto be a compound
of carbon with the metal titanium. It
is thought that it may be used in cut
ting diamonds, and may revolutionize
many industries where abrasives are
employed. The inventor hopes to OBJ
tain the prize of $40, 900 offered by the
French Academy for a substance to
take the place Of diamonds in drills.
These diamonds have been of the black
and brown variety, not gems, and have
been known as "bort." The largest
piece every discovered was found in
Brazil two years ago and weighed 3073
carats. The lump was worth $780,
600. About $4,000 carats have been
exported from Bahia each year. 1t
has been used around the edges of the
large circular saws for cutting huge
slabs of stone. The new compound
will be cheap, and, as it is harder than
the diamond, can do better work. 1t
may be employed as a substitute for
jewels in watches and for glass cut
ting. In its physical properties titan
ium is like iron, though it is only
about half as heavy. Chemically, it
resembles tin. Rutile is an oxide OF
titanium and is used to color artificial
teeth. The metal has no other use. 1t
is found in Pennsylvania and is worth
81 per pound. There is no titanium
on the market in a metallic state. 1t
is a common inpurity in iron ores and
renders them refractory. Millions Of
tons in New York and Virginia are
made worthless by the presence of five
or six per cent. of titanium. Mr..
Moissan manufactured small diamonds
in the same furnace in which he first
produced carbide of titanium.

A Wonderful Work.

The new railroad bridge over the
Danube River, which has just been
completed, is the largest in the world,
and one of the most important, and
the Roumanian Government is enjoy
ing it's possession with q we'll earned
sentiment of complacent pride. The
new bridge is 13, 1925 feet long without
approaches, which would make some
hundreds of feet additional. The
largest vessels that sail the Danube
can pass under it at the highest tide,
as the lower rafters of the superstruc.
ture are 1G5 feet above high water
mark. Some idea of the length of
this bridge may be gained by COM
p~arison with the other great bridges
of the world. The Tay Bridge, Scot
land, is 10, 725 feet; the Mississippi
Bridge at Memphis, 10000 feet; the
Forth Bridge, Scotland, 1900 feet; the
Morody Bridge in Galacia, 1900 feet,
and the bridge over the Volga near
Sysran, 400 feet. The Danube Bridge
has one span of $40 feet and four Of
455 feet each :

There is no bulls eye-Creedmoor
misunderstanding in this sort of target
practice. The soldier is taught to aim
at the head and heart of the figure.
The nearer he comes to these marks,
the higher is his score. A little care
full study of the facts given in the fore
going paragraph will show what a ire
mendous weapon this concentrated &C
curacy will be in the hands of United
States soldiers. 1t has long been a
recognized fact that the great trouble
In throwing masses of men into a con-
hict with one another was that the
fighting was not conducted intelligent
" by the private soldier; that he fired
recklessly with the apparent idea that
it did not make much difference in
what direction the bullet went SO long
as the cartridge left his gun. Now
i when the United States soldier goes
Into battle there will be just two points
his enemy that he will have in mind,
ID those will be his head and heart.
The other targets used in practice
will be the midrange target intended
for practice at from four to six hun
dred yards; the eight hundred yards
target, for distances of froms.seven
hundred yards; the eight hundred
yards target, for distances of from
seven hundred to eight hundred yards;
the thousand yards target for the range

blue will have no aids beyond those
which nature has given them, except
that they may be allowed to blacken
the sight of the gun, which always
happens in battle, anyway, because of
the powder smoke. There will be no
firing from sheds or shelters of any
kind. Everything must be done in
the open. From this it may be seen
that the new regulations, if they are
lived up to in the spirit as we'll as the
letter, will accustom the men to accur-
ate craftsmanship under all condi-
tons and without artificial aid.
1t is more than doubtful if fifty per
cent. of the crack marksmen of the
United States army to-day could go
into action and fire with half the skill
or accuracy they can at a target which
they have been accustomed to pepper
under he old conditions. Under this
new method, however, with their sole
thought being to strike the head or
the heart of the humanity at which
they fire, they will not be looking for
a black ringed bull's-eye, but will aim
at exactly what men who seek to &C.
complish the death of their enemies
should have as their target.
Another good feature of the new de-
p~arture is that the troops in every
branch Of the service will use in

The Power of Imagination.

Imagination is nearly always spoken
OF by the unthinking as a misty and
unimportant something, or is regarded
as reprehensible. "Don't let your
imagination run away with you" is a
sentence which has chilled, if not
checked, the enthusiasm of most of
US. But imagination is really the
master-builder of ones most satisfac-
tory life-structure; and when it "runs
away with" one, becomes the most
powerful dynamic in the world. What
does Imagination mean? Imaging;
building a thought-pattern, a mental
model, an ideal. Nothing great was
ever achieved without enthusiasm"
declares Emerson. Imagination is
erthusiasm's vital principle, its in
ward life, it's kindling fire.
Imagination iran away with" Peter
the Hermit, and across a continent
tramped, with great loss and terrible
suffering, thousands of people follow
ing an illiterate and hitherto unknown
man who had magnetized himself and
his followers by the thought-pattern
of the Christ tomb free from Moslem
possession. Carthage fell and Rome
became supreme because imagination
iran away with" Cato in p~icturing the
destruction of the African metropolis,
and kept his zeal at white heat till the
rival of the Eternal City was de-
molished. We have the electric tele-
graph and the submarine cable be-
cause imagination took the bits in her
teeth and gave Samuel Morse and
Cyrus Field no rest till the world
revolutionizing messages were clicked
and flashed out in Ineligible language.
We ride, and light our homes, and
cook our food by electricity because
imagination got on so unstoppable a
canterwith Edison Maya
zine.

No Journey Without Obstacles,

There Is not a single person who reads
these lines who has not had some bitter
cups pressed to their lips. No Journey to
the heavenly Canaan Is trodden without
some Marahs on the road. The power and
the glory Of Christ's grace is in sweetening
the draught. I have often sat down beside
a child of God who had in her hand q bitter
cup Of trial, but the sweet breath Of Jesus
has turned the bitterness into such a bless
ing that she tastes the love OF Jesus in ey-
cry drop. Grand old Richard Baxter, after
a life of constant suffering, exclaimed, 80
my God, I thank Thee for a bodily disci-
pline Of eight and fifty years. That no
BILE and consecrated layman, Harlan Page
Of New York, during his last illness uttered
these triumphant words: "a bed of pain
Is a precious place when we have the pres
ence of Christ. God does not send one In
necessary affection. Lord, I thank Thee for
suffering. I deserve 1t; let me not COM
plain or dictate. I commit myself to Thee,
o Saviour, and to Thy infinite love! I stop
my mouth and lie low beside Thee" So did
victorious grace build up that blood-re-
deemed soul faster than disease was pulling
down the frail tenement in which it dwelt.
And through the rents which coming death
was making, heavens glory shone In with
a rapturous radiance. These were splendid
testimonies. 1 earnestly hope that In many
chambers Of sickness or houses Of sorrow,
they may be like the bough from that tree
which Moses plucked and cast into Marah,
making the waters Of bitterness sweet to
thirsty drinkers. God knows best.-Theo-
dore l.. Cuyler, D. D.

Japan does not seem to profit by
shipping bounties. The law for the

as in the Western seas. The Nippon

Chicken With Four Legs.

The first prize for a freak in fowl
flesh for the season of 1897 belongs to
Daniel Lennon, of Columbus, Ohio.
For the past two months he has been
carefully raising O chicken which is O
curiosity, to say the least. 1t has
four regularly formed and perfectly
developed legs. One pair Of legs is in
the proper place-that is, where all
chickens with perfect anatomies have
them. The other two legs are just
back of these. For about a month
after it was Matched Mr.. Lemmon's
queer fowl had complete control of all
four of its legs and moved about like a
quadruped. Gradually, however, the
two hind legs began to stop growing
and for some time have not grown at
all. They hang useless from the
body. This freak is also the pos
SCISSOR of a double backbone and two
craws or crops. The chicken stands

PRAYER for Increase OF Faith.

Lord, increase our faith and make 1t the
supreme fact in our life; raise us above all
doubt and fear and cause US so to trust In
thee through him who is the Living One
and the Oliver Of Life as to be Independent
Of all that Is without. Root us and ground
us In thy love; may thy word dwell in US
richly, On answer to every temptation, q
solace to every sorrow, an inspiration to
every good deed and work. We live by
sight too much; we are victims Of our own
senses, and we are led away by our own
foolish sagacity. O that We might live
henceforth in Christ only, abiding in him
as the branches in the vine-then should we
bring forth much fruit and our father would
be glorined. Give us such views OF fife as Jesus
takes from his cross and from his thronei
save US from all the fallacy Of appearances,
and deliver US from the deceit OF our own
senses. Take down the veil which separates
our soul from the Utmost and essential
beauty, and may we see things as they are,
and rest patiently in the Lord. Our prayer
Is In the name Of him who is himself the
pledge that all good things shall be freely
given unto US. Amen.

Joy Tempered by Jesus Spirit.

Sunshine has its uses in making our re-
ligion what it should be-a thing Of bright
ness. There Is danger Of making It too
cold and gloomy. God did not intend it to
be thus. It is a difficult matter, at any rate,
to Induce men to accept religion; and II
they are left under their impression that,
when they unite with the church, they are
going into the sunless and gloomy region Of
an arctic land, it will make it all the mole
difficult to induce them to choose the better
part. Let Joy, brightness, geniality, tenn
pered by the spirit OF Jesus, characterize
our religion; and these persons will lay
hold OF it with earnestness. Let us make
use of sunshine everywhere. Do cares
come, let us 60 at them with sunshiny
hearts; they will soon melt away under ita
power. If Affections come, nothing will SO
brighten the sick-bed as sunshine. Is the
home darkened by the shadow Of death,
sunshine will tighten it, and show US the
golden stairway up which our departed
have gone. Sunshine, sunshine every
wherein the world, in the home, in the
church. There is Joy and brightness In
heaven; why should it be wanting here?-

that the figure thereon is that of a
soldier in the position of firing while
standing. A horizontal line is drawn
across the target at the middle point
of the figure. Every time a soldiers
bullet hits directly above this line
that is, the line across the middle
or if his bullet strikes some point of
the target at an angle and is DETECTED
so that it strikes the target above the
line, he scores 5. All bullets that hit
the figure below the line entitle the
marksman to the score of 4. If the
solder hits the target above the line
b 1t not the figure, the score is three;
if below the line. 2.
Heretofore it has been the custom
in many cases to allow the soldier to
use in target practice various aids,
such as shades for the sight, spirit
levels to enable an accurate aim, and
all that sort of thing. Under the new
regulations the men who wear the army
