Nikola Tesla's new laboratory on

1t is stated that the electric locomo-

1t is designed to haul the trains over the

A story comes from Oklahoma which
shows that a clergyman may have a

in tact. In the course of his sermon
the Rev. Mr.. Newly, new pastor of the
Christian Church at Guthrie, interjected
the question, "How many of you have
read the Bible?" Fifty hands went up
"Good!'' said the preacher. Now, how
many of you have read the second chap
ter of Jude?" Twenty-Five hands were
raised. A wan smile overspread the
ministers face. That's good; but when
you go home read that chapter again,
and you will doubtless learn something
to your interest" OF course they found
that there is no second chapter of Jude

Suit for Back Taxes.

Attorney-General Pickle has filed suit
against the Connecticut Mutual Life
Insurance Company, seeking to recover

The very next day he put his design into ex-

Let Him Learn Life BY Seeing 1t.

Expand the child's mid by showing
him from time to time scenes from all
sides of life. Take him today to studios
and let him see how pictures are made;
next week to silk factories, to learn the
poetry of labor, and afterward to a
brickyard and an iron foundry, not
forgetting the claims of great churches
and monuments upon an elevating edu-
cation. The alienation of city and
country is delightful stiElulant. When
travel is possible we should give the
child glimpses of mountains and sights
of the sea and let him become &C
quainted with mountaineers and fisher
men, even as he ought in town to know
something of the ways and thoughts of
the workmen, so that he may come to
feel sympathy with all sorts of people
and understand the merit of labor.
Actual experience of this kind is worth
infinitely more than the theorizing in
school books. 1t is not particularly in.
teresting to a child to read that he
should be grateful to all the people
who supply him with his daily com
forts; to the farmer, the baker, the
manufacturer, the builder. But when
he sees how grain grows and is con-
verted into flour; how furniture is
wrought from blocks of wood, and
threads woven into cloth, the whole
history of the objects about him is re-
vealed. The different parts of life be-
come connected and he gets a sense
of the thread of harmony that ru n
through it all. And he has a moment
of satisfaction, coming through feel,
ing of kinship with the world, which is
more useful than gratitude upon gen.
