AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION
Held in the Church of the Messiah Las
 Evening.

Held in the Church of the Messiah Last Evening.
 Last evening at the Church of the
 Messiah there was an interesting and l somewhat spirited open discussion on
 'Why do Not Men Attend Church" It was announced last Sunday by
 Rev. MT Dickerman that the discus
 sion would be an open one and that everybody was invited to speak on
 what he thought was the real reason
 why so many men of the present day are never seen in church. MT. Dicker- man said that no harm could be done and that the object for holding such a meeting was for the purposes of get ting the opinions of any who wished to give them. MT. Dickerman wanted it thoroughly understood that anybody could say just what they had a mind to, no matter what creed they followed The opinions given last night were somewhat contradictory and in cases pointed, but everybody was perfectly understood.
 After the opening remarks by the pastor there was a pause as if every body was waiting for everybody else to speak out. Finally MT. Wooley arose and said he had had talks on the mat ter with several of his friends and that very different opinions were given. One said he didn't believe what was preach ed; another said that he didn't think the ministers knew what they were talking about, and as far as the couldn't afford it'' man was concern ed he said he didn't find many of them. MT. Wooley said he had found num- Der o1 men Who dldnt want to give the time to church going as Sunday was the only day of recreation, having worked the rest of the week.
 Eugene P. Laurence was of the opin- ion that the people were not interest ed in the services of the day. He said if the clergy should preach about top ics of the day the congregations in every church would be notceably larg- CT. He said the people were inclined to doubt the doctrine as preached to-day. He said the secret in getting people to church was getting them interested
 Another man got up and said that the things that happened 2,000 years ago were not the things to preach to the man of the present age. He said the ministers should go around among the working men and put a little vitality in their preaching: "They should

LEADING A BLIND RAT.

"One day not long ago." said a brick manufacturer, lone of my workmen saw three rats carrying long straw across the brickyard. It seemed such an unusual sort of proceeding that he stopped his work to watch them. Two of the rats held the straw at opposite ends, while the third supported the center They were making straight for the river which flowed by one side of the yard. When they arrived at the bank they laid down the straw and took a long drink They then proceed ed to take up the straw again in the same maAner as before, and returned by the saif1e way they had come.
 This so interested the workman that he determined to watch if they would come again. And sure enough at about the same time the next day they appeared carving the straw exactly as before. Having provided himself with a gun, he shot all three, to see if posi- bly, he mghmt thereby solve the mys- tery. He discovered that the rat in the center was blind, and therefore con cluded that this was the animals kind method of leading their afflicted com rade to, the water to drink.

tus. Lieut.. Rodler held his vigils all
through the night, when no disturbing in
f1uences were likely to interfere with the
accuracy of his operations. He looked
through small telescopes. the large end
OF which was closed except for a small slit
across the lens As ithe pendulum swung
back and forth, theT light of the candle
was flashed into Kaleidoscope at the end
of every swing. The Fcliclo of the chronom-
eter apprised the observes of the duration
of every second or fraction of a second as
IT passed, and LIEUT. Rodler was enabled
to calculate to a nicety the time required
for the weight to swing. The stronger the
force of gravity, the quicker does the pen
dulum swing. This curious condition may
be noticed to slight degree in the vary
ing of clocks. If a person used a clock and
set it to run correctly near the equator and
then sent the clock to some point in Labra
dor, he would find probably that 1t would
run continually too fast AS a matter
OF TACT 1t would be a trife nearer the ex-
act center of the earth. and hence the pen
dulum would swing faster than before.
Ih1s is one reason why clocks sent to q
distance from the manufacturers have to
be regulated.
All Nations Int rested.
Nearly all of the civilized governments
cooperate In this pendulum m-swinging oper-
@''ioii' e'Atu nearly every mdn-OI-Wdr gong
TO foreign countries in time of peace has on
board an officer who is commissioned to
swing pendulum at predetermined spots
New and remote stations are continually
chosen, but it may be set down as an axiom
that once pendulum Is swung at any place
that place will become permanent pendu-
lum station, and the commissioners of the
various governments will follow in each
others footsteps for the purpose of corrobo-
ratlng the calculations of those who have
gone before. This corroboration is neces-
sary for several reasons. The constant i'm
proVement OF the instruments in use always
permits the possibility of a greater degree
OF accuracy than might have been possible
previously; the possibility of change in
earthly conditions; the extreme fineness of
the calculations and the falliblity of OBJ
serVers-these all make repeated observa-
tions advisable. South Columbia College,
having been chosen by Lieut. Rodler, it will
now become permanent gravity station
a fact proved by the quickness with which
the United States coast survey sent an Off
clal to use the same post. Lieutenant Rod
ler has already made observations in Pola

Santiago de Cuba, Havana. Japan, etc. He

Just as evening was setting in. 1t was a
truly picturesque scene.
The men We're all in high spirits and car

Gen. Lawton's plan was to reach Santa

try TO the south of the lake a district not
yet explored by the Americans. The tactics

beach near Malate. south of Manila. TO the
shore of Laguna de Bay, beyond Pasg a
distance of about seven miles.
The withdrawal of the eighteen companies
