Fer my own part, therefore, believe
IN the Immortality OF the soul, not in
the sense in which l accept the demon
strable truths OF science. but as = su-
prems act OF faith in the reasonable
ness OF Gods work Such belief, re-
lating to regions quite inaccessible TO
experience, cannot, OF course, be cloth
ed in the terms of definite and tan
gible meaning. For the experience
which alone can give US such terms We
must await that solemn day which is
to overtake US all. The belief can be
most quickly defined by its negation,
as the refusal to believe that this world
is all. The materialist holds that
when you have described the whole
universe of phenomena, Of which we
can become cognizant under the con-
ditions of the present life when the
whole story Is told. II seems to me,
on the contrary, that the whole story
ia not told. l feel the omnipresencs
of mystery in such wise as to make
far easier for me to adopt the view OF
Euripides, that what we call death
may be but the dawning Of true knowl-
edge and true life. The greatest phil
osopher OF modern times, the master
and teacher Of all who shall study the
process Of evolution for many day
to come, holds that the conscious soul
is not the product Of collocation of
material particles. but is. in the deep
est sense, a divine effiuence. Accord
ing to Mr.. Spencer, the divine energy
which is manifested throughout the
movable universe is the same energy
that wells up in US as consciousness

the lines east Of the Ohio. Not only
are the grades to be reduced wherever

In order to carry the additional weight
the bridges on all the divisions are
being replaced with heavier structures

tual experiment that these changes
will result in an increase In train load

per cent, the average being about AZ

1S-foot grade road from Chicago to

portion of 1t which passes over the

have to be used. A great many OF the

the work have been made, and those
who have seen the plans state that the
work can be done at surprisingly
low cost considering the return 1t

Photography Under Water.

A wonderful invention has recently
been devised by which photographs
may be taken under water The light
for this purpose is furnished by an in
candeseent lamp placed in steel case
in the divers headpiece, the luminous
rays being protected by a reflector
placed in the rear Of the steel case.
and the electricity provided by means
of small dynamo carried in the boat
above. The Photographic apparatus
itself consists Of a common camera
placed within an India rubber enyel-
ope, the front Of which IS glass. and
the machine is regulated and pictures
taken by pressing buttons through the
India rubber covering. The result is
such as TO be pronounced an achieve
ment, for it has been demonstrated
that pictures can be taken under water
of objects at a distance OF ten or
twelve feet as easily as they can be
above in the full light OF
day.

A species of bird eating frogs in
tests the swamps around Susquehanna,
Penn. These huge croakers have also
proved destructive to young chickens.
Recently farmer named Wainwright
of Herrick had his attention called to
the bird-eating propensity of this
species of frog by the cries of small
bird in nearby swamp. Thinking it
had been seized by snake, he has
tened to the spot, and saw a beautiful
red and green bird in the mouth of
large, greenish frog. Only the birds
head was visible, and its cries becom-
ing fainter, the frog was killed aud
the bird released. It's feathers were
all wet and Shiny, and for some days
it could be distinguished in the garden
by its ruffled plumage.
Since then others of the same spe-
cies of frog have, on several occasions,
been killed with young chickens half
swallowed, and once a duckling was
rescued from the same fate.
The frogs make chuckling sound
30 nearly like that of hen calling her
chickens for food that whole broods
have been deceived and have rushed
toward the swamp, where they sup
posed the hen to be. The frogs are
wary, and it is difficult to find them
except by the squeaks of distress
from their victims. New York Press.

WISE WORDS.
Out of debt out Of danger.

Out of debt out of danger.
Slander is the revenge OF coward,
and dissemination his defense.
Life is too short to be wasted in
petty worries, hatred and vexation.
Chance opportunities make us known
to Others, aud still moro to ourselves.
He is young enough who has health,
and he is rich enough who has no
debts.
The only failure man ought to
fear is failure in cleaving to the pur-
pose he sees to be best.
knowledge is that acquaintance
with ourselves which shows us what
we are, and what we ought to be.
A false report does not last long,
and the life one leads is always the
best apology of that which one has
led.
Great efforts come of industry and
perseverance; for audacity doth almost
bind and mate the weaker sort of
minds.
The moral courage that will face
obloquy in good cause is much q
rarer gift than the bodily valor that
will confront death in bad one.

II you could think, II you could speak,
Iwonder how your voice would soundl
And what opinion you would hold
OF those who idly crowd aroundl
Why are your eyes, with passive gaze,
Fixed on US as we laugh or weep,
AS though you seemed to stand aloof
And mystic self-communion keep?
Can all we say, and all we do,
And all we are or might have been, .
Be naught to you, as though we were
4 Unknown, uncared for, and unseen?

Upon snowy canvas drew
Your features; then revered and loved,
Now only known by name to few.

To enter on your endless trance;
But day by day we love to build
Around your face some fresh romance

such as no pale-face could ever

Munich, who has been submitting the
eye-sight of several Indian braves to
scientific examination, to upset this
theory. He comes to the conclusion
that the alleged keenness OF vision of
the redskin is sheer delusion. They
see no further aud no more distinctly
than does the average citizen of Lon
don OF Berlin. But they possess the
advantage of having been trained from
infancy to observe with concentrated
attention the objects around them, and
to draw deductions rapidly from this
survey for the purposes Of war or the
chase. DR.. Ranke says that with
similar lifelong practice almost every
European could acquire the same
