count several of the visitors refused

The custom of having war ships sail
| under sealed orders" has arisen from
the desire of maritime powers to pre-
vent their plans from becoming known
to the enemy.
In the American navy such orders
come from the President, and are de-
livered to a commander of a ship or
squadron by confidential messenger,
who knows nothing of their contents.
Sometimes they are in cipher, but
they are always sealed with the official
seal of the navy department, and the
packages cannot be opened until the
time marked on it, which is usually
several hours after the hour of leaving
port.
BY this precaution the newspapers
are prevented from disclosing prema-
turely movements which may be of the
greatest Importance, and the spies of
the enemy are rendered useless SO far
as their ability to discover the secret of
such movements is concerned.
Sailing under sealed orders 10 now
the common naval practice In time of
war.
These instructions are found in the
packet of Sealed orders" which is
opened when well out to sea.

A Talk to the Young Folks.

Parson Hanna based his talk to the
young folks in Union NJ. II. Church on
Sunday morning on the 18th verse of tbs
S4th Psalm: "No good thing will He with
hold from me-" Asan illustration of tho.
truth OF this declaration he alluded to the
wisdom of the Creator in forming tho Gle
ments to contribute to our wants and
carry into effect his purposes. A certain
farmer in California possessed fold Of
wheat, containing $685. 400 square feet of
land, and after time he discovered tho
growth Of the grain was checked for " ant
of rain Tcsuppiy the needed moisture to
perfect the crop no found by calculations
ono Inch OF water to each square foot was
necessary Weighing in the aggregate "A, 754
tons; to haul this water, atom forming o
Load "A, 75i teams would be required, and
as tho ocean lay 1000 miles away tho ac.
compllshmento of the job would be impos-
sibe.
Besides the water was salt and not
adapted to fertilization. Like tho Chinese
who summoned the moon to their aid in
raising the great stone for the fridge, which
he told about last Sunday, the farmer do
termlnod to walt the action of the sun to
accomplish tho desired purpose. In due
time cloud was formed over the ocean
AVID although it did not appear larger than
mans hand, it gradually grew in size,
and finally was wafsed by the wind into
interior Of the State, and the gentle show.
ers descending deposited on tho growing
grain thu 70, 754 tons OF water required to
tructify the earth. and Insure good crop.
What man could not accomplish was thus
effected, and the hearts Of all caused to re
Joice. The farmer did not return thanks
TO tho sun, to the wind, or the ocean for
the rain, but returned thanks to God renl-
izing that Ho will not withhold any good
thing. Next Sunday Parson Hanna will
endeavor to unfold u new plan for the bet
tor entertainment and instruction of tho
young folks and thus secure If possible the
large attendance ut the Sunday MORNINGS
Services throughout the season.

A HOMEMADE WHEEL.
An Example of What u Skilled Me
chanbc Can DO,

| chanic Can DO.
Many machines, like lathes, churns
and sewing machines, are operated by
hand or foot power: but if man has a
small stream of water at his disposal.
and possesses certain amount Of in
genuity, he can make wheel that will
utilize the power of his stream, and
keep it at work, If he so desires, in his
absence. A correspondent Of "The
Iron Age tells the editor of that pub
LEGATION of motor which he construct
ed recently He says that he lived in a
city where he could get water, but not
electricity. From the latter remark it
is to be inferred that he would have
bought a small electric motor if he had
only enjoyed the means for driving it.
His homemade wheel was about
seven inches in diameter, not counting
the buckets, which were an inch and
half long, radially. The body of the
wheel was four inches thick, and the
buckets were of that height, therefore.
The wheel was of sheet iron, soldered
at the joints. To drive it he had a
fall equal to 40 feet, but admitted only
small jet. For this purpose he in
serted nozzle taken from large oil
can. To get the best effect, he incased
his wheel, and then set the nozzle in
the casing at the proper angle. On the
further side Of the casing, OF course, he
had an outlet pipe, which discharged
into basin, and this into a drain. AS
he got not more than twelfth OF a
horsepower it hardly seems as If the
work was worth doing. Still he cbn-
siders himself repaid by the utility Of
his motor. The case is worth putting
on record, not for precise imitation,
perhaps, but as an example of what
may be done with poor facilities.
