The Baptist Young Peoples Union was
organized in Colorado ten years ago, and
there are at present fifty societies, wfh
a membership OF 1.50 70 one who does
not know the conditions, f. may seem

Firament Well Populated.

In his lecture atthe Royal Insctitution
Sir Robert Bail, lately astronomer
royal in Ireland, stated that we now
know the existence OF 30,000,000 stars
or suns, many of them much more
magnificent than the one which gives
light to our system. The majority of
them are not visible to the eye or even
recognizable by the telescope, but SEN
sitized Photographic plates have re-
vealed their existence beyond all doubt
or question, though most of them are
almost ineonceivably distant thous-
ands or tens of thousands of times as
far off as our sun. A telegraphic
message, for example, which would
reach the sun in eight minutes, would
not reach some of the stars in 1900
years.
An average of only ten planets to
each sun indicates the existence within
the narrow range to which human OBJ
servation is still confined of at least
300, 900, 900 of separate worlds, many
of them doubtless of gigantic size, and
it is nearly inconceivable that those
worlds can be wholly devoid of living
and sentient beings upon them, as all
matters must decay, certainly finite;
and then what is the relative position
of mankind.

Gotham's Golden Days.

"In the thirties came sad and ruin
Gus epoch of financial suffering to the
citizens OF New York, and 1887 was one
of the gloomiest years the city ever
knew in all its fluctuations of prosper
ity anr panic" says writer in New
York's Social Life" in the February
Ladies' Home Journal" 1t was not un-
til the Cos had begun their Aladdinlike
reign that the era of extravaganza ac-'
tually dawned. After 1887 men trem
bled and boarded, but all the engines
of prosperity were set in motion in
1910 and 1860, and there came a time
when wealth was so great that literal
ly the possessors were without any leg
itimate use for it. Their past had
nothing to suggest to their future, and
men, with most eagerly assisting and
devising women, set about establishing
new bases of existence. The Prince of
certain country had palace that
had taken grand danes fancy; why
should not an American citizen, "a
sovereign in his own right have one
like 1t, only ten times finer?
Now came the thirst for show,
for entertaining, for splendid rivalry
in extravagant expenditure, which has
not yet been checked, and which may
not even have reached its climax. The
American woman who lives like a
Duchess must wear the insignia of her
order, and the Metropolitan Opera
House each winter is barbarous with
its shows of gems Worn in ostentatious
fashion, and women are written of in
the newspapers as apparently being
only distinguished from one another
by the wearing of jewels which cost
thousands of dollars more than those
worn by their rivals in adjoining box
es."-Chicago Chronicle.

A Bicycle Engine.

German FIRE apparatus builders have,
after several years Of trial. produced a
fire bicycle, which, II 1t falls short of
being perfect Is an invention far ahead
of anything of the kind In, use in the
United States. 1t is a four wheeled
truck, with a low compact superstruc-
ture, Is fully equipped as an engine
and has a complete outfit of hfe-sav-
ing apparatus. The wheels have solid
rubber tires, 1t is pedaled by two fire.

on good roads, while its handling and
maneuvering is extremely simple. The
firemen having the one In charge at
Gruenewald, a suburb of Berlin, re-
Gently covered a mile, made the hyd-
rant attachment, and were at work in
something less than, five minutes. The
bicycle engine carries the following
tools and implements, slowed snugly
away, and each held securely in place:

tool chest, torch. The weight of the
bicycle itself and all it carries is 377
pounds and the price Of the entire out
fit is 900 marks, or 1915.
In other particulars of fire equip
ment also, the Germans are ahead of
us. In Berlin the firemen wear water
Jackets, with double skin, which they
are able to fill with water from the
hose. II the space between the two
layers becomes overilled the water
escapes through a valve at the top Of
the helmet, and flows down over the
firemen like a cascade, thus doubly
protecting him. The smoke helmets,
also a German invention, are largely
used throughout Germany and Aus
tria, Holland and Italy, and are now
on trial in some of our fire depart
ments. The smoke helmets enable
the wearer to breathe and to see with
some degree of comfort in a smoke-lad-
en- atmosphere. Some OF the newer pat
terms of these helmets contain means
of telephone communication leading
out of the building and into the street

George Washington my name is,
Worldwide my fame is;
And rise from my clay,

To say
That wher the stars and stripes are put
There every Yankee patriots foot
Should be put down and put to stay
Against all odds till judgment day.
That's what | did in darker hours,
And got there, too; and by the powers
| stayed there until saw expand
Into broad and glorious land,
A little scope of country which
Was neither great, nor strong, nor rich
But, friends, the spirit of the free
Was greater than that trinity
And when 1t touched the hearts OF all,
They answered to their countTy's call,
And made it what 1t is today,
The prop OF liberty and stay
OF what Is strong and rich and great,
The patriot land, the peoples state.
The nation spread from sea to sea,
From lake to gulf, and liberty,
Unfettered here, stood forth and
hurled
Defiance at a thTone-ruled world.
That was expansion, that was what,
Until that day, the world had not
Experienced, and this glorious land
On those same lines should still ex-
pand.
That's what / rise to say; now. men,
I'll hie me to my place again,
And while I'm gone let no hand dare
To haul the flag down, floating there.
