MINNEAPOLIS, March 12.-Rev. w.
B. Riley. of the First Baptist church,
who has just completed the second year
of his pastorate in that church. preach
ed his second anniversary sermon this
morning. The church was deliberately
decorated with flowers and palms in
honor of The occasion, and in spite OF
the unfaVorable weather the edihce
was well filed. After the service the
members Of the congregation crowded
10 the platform to shake hands with
Mr.. Riley. congratulating him on the
success of his pastorate, and wishing
him many more years among them.
In reviewing his personal work Mr..
Riley said he had always tried not to
be any respecter of persons Often
the poor of today We're the wealthiest
and most generous of tomorrow. Com
merce had learned a lesson which the
church of God needed to know, namely.
what to do with; the castaways. the
refuse the nobodies of society He
thought that the Gospel would trans
form these castaways into desirable
members of the church.
In his preaching Mr.. Riley said that
he had tried to preach the Kingdom
of Cod for he believed that was the
way in which most souls could be saw
ed. He had tried to follow the exam
pie of st. Paul and preach with conf
dence. Confidence. first in man. for no
man could succeed with his fellows
unless he believed in them; secondly.
confidence in the Gospel, for no one
could save souls unless he believed in
the saving power of the Gospel which
he preached; lastly. confidence in God,
FOR without that a preacher could do

he ran his hands through the gentle
mans hair and gave 1t two or three
hard rubs and upon my word the whole
thing came off just as if he had been
scalEAd. All he had left was fringe
over his ears and around the back Of
his neck. The poor man yelled murder
and the barber stood there paralyzed,
holding the wig in his hands and his
eyes sticking out like hat pegs. He
told me afterward he was never so
startled in his life. Since then he hasn't
said a word about dandruff."

LONG PLUMB LINE
That Shows the Variations of the
Washington Monument

Scientific American.
Doubtless the longest plumb line In
existence is that suspended in the
Washington monument. which has a
free swing of more than $40 feet 1t is
hard drawn copper wire, 1854 inch In
diameter. and is suspended. for protec-
ton. In galvanized iron pipe. The
Wire is located in plane cutting the
center of gravity of the monument,
which is 174 feet 101s inches above the
door sill. The plummet was set June
IL. 1887. with the top end of the wire
fastened to an adjustable brass screw
In an beam about ten feet from the
west wall.
In the plummet house which is rivet-
ed to the vertical projecting pipe), at
the base. is hollow iron pedestal, one
side of which is fitted with a door Of
access TO the interior. where stands a
bucket of water in which the bob"
a twenty-five pound brass spheroid.
swings. On the top of the pedestal are
two telescopes. one on the north side
facing south and one on the east side
facing west Both are moved by mi
crometer screws with a travel along
scales graduated to inches and TWEEN
teths' which. with. the screws. give
readings to thousandths Of an inch.
These readings are taken daily. the
maximum detection ever observed be-
Ing OLA inch, which by calculation
shows that the top of the monument
moves about three times as far az the
center Of gravity.
AS carefully taken data would prove
of great value to engineers who under
take the erection Or custody of very
tall shafts, 1t is. proposed to make the
reading automatic an continuous by
means of kind Of improved panto-
graph charging one thousand times.
These, with the heat records taken at
the top and at the bottom. both inside
and out. would constitute a record of
great value. showing what scientists
call the breathing" of this 81,120 ton

record exists of the establishment of
these lines. althoug it is tradition that
President and Mrs. Jefferson were pres
ent at the time. and that Mrs. Jeffer-
son gave her thimble to be set in the
top of the wooden monument to receive
the scratched cross. From this monu-
ment and another located 80 degrees
therefrom. levels were taken. with
which subsequent levels were compar-
ed to determine whether the monument
settled evenly. All the levels taken
show that the foundation has remained
horizontal. although subject to a grad
ual diminishing settling which. in the

From the Philadelphia Press.
Within eight more centuries leap-year will

that of the present day will all have been
duly accounted for, and the world will run

ladies Of the coming century Will be forced to
devise some other scheme for forcing the
unwilling man to take wife. Nineteen

because in arranging the dates 1t was pur-
posely left out.
The ladies lose their privilege again in
1900; but though there will not be many Of
those who see 1900 who will see 1000, the lat
ter year. ending a fourth century. will be
a leap-year. In this way three, days are re-
trenched in four centuries. and the remain
ing seven days will be made UP In little
over 500 years. After that calendar years
will be like solar years. and errors in calcu-
lation of time will occur more.
The loss Of leap-years will in thousands OF
years affect the seasons. but probably the
mathematicians of the centuries hence will
be expert in handling figures and making
calculations that they will have no difficulty
In keeping things going correctly.
