THREE FAMOUS CHURCHES.
Houses of Worship in Virginia Erected
Before the Revolution.

y a"U
Three of the oldest churches built by
the colonists STAN in Virginia. The
Puritans constructed their meeting
houses of logs n usually on the hill
tops, but the fewer and more substan-
tial houses Of worship of the James
town colony were generally of brick or
stone and placed in spots secure from
Indian attack. In emergencies they
could serve as forts.
st. Luke's Episcopal church is
claimed to be the oldest one now stand
ing of those hat were erected by En-
glish colonists in America. 1t is five
miles from Smithfield on the main road
from Suffolk. Isle of Wight county,
Virginia. Every brick in IL was brought
from England. 1t was built in 1882 I'M
der he superintendent of Joseph
Bridger. 1t was so well constructed
that it withstood the storms of 105 years
before any repairs were made upon 1t.
But no art Of man, however substan-
tial, can last forever. The mortar has
crumbled. the walls are unsafe and the
old church is abandoned. Through
great holes in the roof the sunlight and
shadows play, while the birds sing
songs of defiance on the high window
lodges and MARBLE merry roundelays
from the belfry. Some day the old edi-
flee will creak, cringe n go down be-
fore the storm king-a proof of the
frailty of the works of man.

chain of American independence. II is
Justly styled the cradle of liberty"
Here Patrick Henry. the greatest Of
American orators. sounded the tocsin of
freedom in that speech which held his
audience spellbound for two hou and
awakened to duty the lonis
throughout the country. 1t was deliv-
cred at the second patriotic convention
of Virginia, convened in this church on
the afternoon of March 20, 1775.

the temple in which the first president
Of the United States worshiped. 1t was
completed and turned over to the ves-
try i'm February, 1878. The illustrious
father of his country" was a devou
attendant at church worship n paid
a yearly pew rental of 95. Colonel
Washington was conceded to be the
richest man in America at the time
this church was built and the. price he
paid for pew rental seemed very prod

its effect is to increase the length Of
the day. Astronomical observations
extending over about 1000 years nave
failed to show any sensible change In
the day. but the influence of the tides

the period of the revolution Of the moon

THE DAY GROWING LONGER.
Scientific Reasons Given In support Of
This Surprising Contention.

This surprising contention.
One of the most interesting subjects
discussed by Professor George Darwin
during his recent visit to this country
was that of the possible and probable
increase i'm the length of the day. When
once the earth is in motion about an
axis. no matter how the motion came
about. ii would continue forever, and
at the same rate, thus making the day
always the same length, unless some
thing is happening or will happen to
interfere with that motion. Now, there
are several causes in operation which
affect the period of the earth's rota-
ton, some of which tend to make the
period less. and others to make IT great
er. Fortunately, the influence of each
of the causes is very small. They are
generally easy to understand, and a
simple experiment Will illustrate one
of them.
Tie a stone to one end of a string and.
holding the other i'm the hand, whirl it
around as nearly as may be in the cir
conference of a circle. When its speed
is nearly uniform allow the string to
wind up on the finger. 1t will be mo-
ticed that as the string shortens the
angular velocity increases. In the same
way. if the matter forming the earth
should in any way be drawn nearer the
axis of rotation, ii would turn faster,
and the day would be shortened. By
continual loss of heat a shrinkage of
the earth is probably in progress, and,
although the process is exceedingly
slow. it certainly tends to diminish rre
period of rotation. On the other hand.
any addition of matter from the outside
will END to increase that period End
make the day longer. Und0ubted!y
slight additions to the mass Of Inc earth
are constantly made by the arrest Of
meteoric bodies passing through the at
m~osphere. Their influence is opposed
to and tends to neutralize hat of any
earth shrinkage that may be going on.
The most important interference with
the rotation of the earth that we know
of is that of the tidal wave, which lis
due to the attraction Of the sun and
moon, but more largely to the latter.

1t appears that the young and Grass
kaiser of the German empire is itching
to take hand in our little unpleasant
ness with Hispanola. The cable says
that some Of his Teutonic majesty's war
ships are already on the way to Manila
to prevent Admiral Dewey from taking
that city when he happens to get good
ard ready. Perhaps that scorbutic
scion of a decaying dynasty has not vet
heard from his venerable grandmother
across the English channel, or that the
German courts have not vet convened
their inquisition in lunacy to test the
sanity Of their erratic young ruler. We
just hope he will try his hand at it once.
