A City sliding Down Hin.

Butte, one Of the largest cities in
Montana, seems about to separate from
itself. 1t appears that a portion of the
town is sliding down hill, apparently
determined to seek a new home. Evil
dence of this peculiar phenomenon Is
seen on a number Of large buildings,
including the county court house and
the residence of United States Senator
w. A. Clarke, these buildings having
become cracked and assured from one
side to the other. biologists who have
investigated the matter say that the
buildings damaged are on a seam OF
rock along which a cleavage is taking
place. Frequently such separations OF
soil and rock occur in the mountains
the result being a slide that may carry
with It great tracts OF land. The city
of Butte Is built on the slope OF a hill.
and the disturbance is in about the
central portion Of the town. SO 1t Is
barely possible that nature will some
day tear down quickly the structures
that man has spent great time and
labor In erecting.

FUNCTIONS.
How the subconsc!ous Mind Does Its
Duty.

Did you ever think how often you
eat and never stick your fork In your
eye? You always stick your fork in
your mouth. III you ate In the dark 1t
would be the same thing. You would
never put out your eye by putting your
fork In II. Why? Because your sub
conscious mind Is doing It's automatic
duty and knows very well that you eat
with your mouth and not with your
eye, says the New York Herald. Many
other actions are automatic. For in
stance, twenty people have gathered on
a street corner to board a passing car.
The very fact that they are there
means that the car will stop. The first
has already signaled the motorman.
So do the other nineteen. And the same
thing happens II ten people gather to
descend In an elevator. The first com
or rings the bell. So do the other nine
purely automatically. The sign says
ring so each man takes this sign
to himself and rings. A shoemaker
once had a shop in the basement of a
large building downtown. The shoe
maker worked with his back to the
door. Every time the door opened the
shoemaker turned his head to the left
to see who entered. Fol ten years the
shoemaker worked and turned his head
almost every hour In the day. Before
many years had passed the shoemak-
er's head turned automatically, and
now that mar has spent every cent OF
money he has ever made trying to BIO
cured OF this automatic habit. But his
head still jerks, so that he looks over
his left shoulder constantly.

1915 he entered the university In Lew
isburg, Pa, as a theological student,
and was graduated in six years. After
a short passionate in West Chester. Pa.
he became pastor of the Bloomingdale
Baptist church In New York City in
1858. He remained there three years
and then went to the Hanson Place
Baptist church, in Brooklyn, where he
remained eight years and increased
the membership OF the society more
than 400 souls. DR.. Lowry became the
professor OF belles-lettres In the Uni
versity in Lewisburg In 1869. In addi-
ton. he filled the pulpit OF the Baptist
church there. He subsequently was
elected chancellor OF the university.
Upon the organization of the Park
Avenue Baptist church In Plainfield he
became its pastor. He saw the society
safely housed in a $4,000 building and
then retired.
1t was during his Brooklyn p~astorate
that DR.. Lowry first came into prom
inence as a writer OF hymns. Once
known, his reputation increased apace.

AMERICAS GREAT ENGINES.
Smaller Range OF Power Given Ia the
EngIi, Locomotive.

The American locomotive engineer
deems 1t advisable to design his en-
zine with n large margin OF power, says
the Engineering Magazine. II an ex-
press engine Is designed to take a
2O0-ton load at fifty miles an hour, and
IL that load should happen TO be in
creased to 300 tons. the locomotive Is
still expected to be able to take IL and
keep time, and usually does so. Such,
at any rate, Is the experience of such
en- impartial and level-headed observer
as Mr.. w. NJ. Acworth. If an American
express be late at one point OF It's
Journey, the engine is expected to make
up the lost time, even II the load be
larger than usual. And, again, this is
generally done. But IL an English en-
CINE Is given n single coach above its
prescribed load, the driver at once in
sists upon having a pilot" and COM
monty he gets one. Or should the
weather be bad, with strong wind or a
slippery rail, he demands an assisting
engine, and is accorded one, as a mat
ter of course. Obviously this applies
especially to the case OF single wheel
ers, which are so largely used on some
English railways, because their range
Of power Is much more sharply limited
by adverse conditions than Is the case
with coupled engines. But In either
case II seems lndisputable that a small
er range OF power is given to an Eng
fish locomotive than to an American.

SANG FOR MEMS SOULS
THE LATE DIR. LOWRY'S HYMNS
ARE WORLD FAMED.
r:,s Author of SHALL We Gathcr at tho
River aud "where IL MY Wandering
boy Tonight" aud other Sacred ones.
Has Lately Paassd Away.

Throughout the Christian world,
wherever gospel songs are sung In the
English tongue. the name Of the Rev.
DR.. Robert Lowry, whose death too
place a few days ago at Plainicld, N.
j., Is known. DIR. Lowry was the writ
or OF many songs. and though ho was
known as an able preacher his great
est reputation rested on the merit OF
his musical compositions and verses.
All the songs written by DR.. Lowry are
marked by the expression OF human
sympathy. giving voice to that side OF
religion which answers to the common
warnings of the human heart-hope
for a life beyond the grave. wherein
those who have been friends on earth
shall be still united; trust I'm n greater
power to supplement the frailties or
human nature. From this 1t has come
about that many of the songs written
by DIR. Lowry have become popular
among men of a class to which few
religious songs appeal. while in the
sunday school, the church, the prayer
meeting, and the Christian home all
his best hymns are firmly fixed rs
favoritcs. How many grief-stricken
families. mourning the loss OF a dear
one, have been consoled when beside
The open grave they have heard the
sure answer OF faith in DR.. Lowry's
perhaps most noted hymn: Shall We
Gather at the River?" when the chorus
rings out:
Yes, we shall gather at the river,
The beautiful. the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river,
That flows by the throne Of God.
'knother song that IL sung outside
Of religious circles probably as much as
any hymn ever written for religious
use is Where Is My Wandering boy
Tonight" Strangely incongruous as
IL may seem. there is no song to which
drinking men-men who have wan
dered far away from the holy inilu-
erces of good homes-wm listen more
attentively. Many n bartender can tell
OF seeing young men push away un-
touched their glasses OF liquor or hear
ing some chance companion sing:
Then go for my wandering boy to-
night,
Go search for him where you will:
o, bring him to me, with all his blight,
And tell him / love him still.
DIR. Lowry vas born in Philadelphia,
IN March, 1926. He received a COM
mon school education and engaged in
secular business for a time; but in

METHODS AT CARRARA.
FamoS- Marble stin Quarricd Ia tho
Methods of 5000 Years Ago.


Sculptors OF every country ire
agreed that IL there is one place on
earth where modern machinery is nee
cssary 1t is In the marble quarrles ut
Carrara, Italy. For 1900 years marble
has been quarried there, and during
all that time only one Improvement has
been introduced. the result being that
the men who work there today use
practically the same methods that were
in vogue in the time OF the Roman
emperors. Carrara Is situated near the
gulf Of Genoa, and It's famous marble
from the Apennine mountains,
the quarries being located between
Carrara and Massa. The industry at
tanned its greatest prosperity at the
time OF the Emperor Augustus. yet even
today II gives employment to 5000
workmen and 1000 sculptors. and 1t is
estimated that OF the $4,000 persons
who live in the district there are few,
IL any, who are not supported directly
or indirectly by the quarries. The lat
ter cover about 20 square miles, and are
located on the sides OF the mountains
generally near the topmost points.
From each of them a pathway leads
to the street and railroad at the foot
of the mountain, and 1t Is down this
pathway that the blocks of marble are
taken to their destination. The only
improvement introduced during the
past centuries Is the use OF powder.
Yet 1t is doubtful II this is altogether
an Improvement, for the reason that,
though immense masses OF rock are
dislodged by the explosions, they are
frequently SO badly shattered that
much of the marble is rendered useless
for artistic purposes. When a success
full explosion takes place the work OF
cutting the marble into suitable forms
begins, and this Is done with precisely
the same kind Of old-fashioned instru-
ment that has been In use for centu-
ries. namely, an ordinary saw. II Is
unnecessary to say that the process Is
extremely laborious, and that those
who hav0 seen II cannot help wonder
ing why the work Is not done with n
steam saw A very primitive method
Is used for the conveyance of the I'm
ished blocks down the pathway to the
railroad. A rope is tied to each, and
then the descent begins. How diff
cult this task Is can be seen from the
fact that is men are required in order
to handle and convey safely to its des-
tination q block weighing II tons
