"a Still Small NO ce."

Rev A. n. keigwin preached an
interesting sermon in West Pres
byterian Church OH Sunday morn
ing, to quite large congregation.
from portion OF the 18th verse Of
the 10Th chapter of Kings: "A still.
small voice. This voice Elijah
obeyed, and it proved more power
full in swaying the destiny of Israel
than the strong wind that rent the
mountains and broke in pieces the
rocks, and the earthquake which
caused the universe to tremble.
From this result he argued that
fighting did no good, that it was
frought with evil and should be
avoided. His conclusions should
exert an influence on the conduct of
all who we're present in their man
agement OF their private business,
as we'll as in church matters. He
appeared to wish all to be charita-
bic as charity, through love and
prayer should lead to more ex-
alted piety and exalt all mankind.
Good persons attract the good, and
bad ones attract the evil minded,
and contribute to stir up strife and
contention. After such a sermon,
the STILL small voice should govern,
and there should be no unholy strife
in the church or out of it.

THE END OF THE WORLD.
A Scientist Figures That 1t Il Three
billion Years on,

Scientists do queer things sometimes.
One Of them has attempted to calculate
in cold mathematics how soon we may
expect the judgment day, and he prepar-
ed II paper on the subject which he read
before the American Association For the
Advancement of Science. Starting with
the total amount Of energy stored in the
sun and the fact that the orb of day is
continuously distributing energy equiva-
lent to the work OF seven men for each
area Of the earth's surface of the size of
the human body. our statistician calcu-
lates that it will require 3,375000,000
years Of outpouring before sensible
diminution of the quantity Of energy Civ
en- out can be detected. Up to this dis
tant period mountains will stand rivers
will run, plants will grow and animal life
will exist much as it does today.
lf you realize that solar energy as soon
as used reasserts itself in some other
form, either as sound, electricity or sim
pie motion, 1t is easy to see that this est-
mate is too small rather than too great.
At any rate the world is not liable to
stop going yet for Il few years, according
to his reasoning.
Some idea Of the vastness Of the force
that is meted out to us from the physical
source of earthly life may be gained, he
says, by considering that il the energy
that the sun gives to earth in a single day
could be bottled up and directed against
niagara falls it would cause the great
body OF water to dash back again up hill
for 1000 years. IL turned into single
blast of Geat, it would cause every living
creature instantnneously to blight and
wither; the ice around the poles would be
melted in one and three-quarter minutes,
and in another II seconds all the oceans
would be turned into steam
If transmitted into electricity, a spark
would flash from the earth as far as the
planet Jupiter. If collected into n single
sound, the vibration thereof would not
only break every ear drum in the world,
but would uproot the giant trees of the
forest and even level mountains. IL
changed into momentary fash Of light,
its burst would be so binding as to pene-
trate the walls of the deepest dungeons
and destroy the sight Of every living
creature. In brlliancy this flash would
exceed the brightness Of the sun itself
over 100000 times.
For one man to expend an amount of
energy equivalent to that which the earth
receives from the sun in the tenth part of
second he would have to work hard
continuously for 87.00O,0O0 years.
This calculation is remarkable in that
It's result differs by more than $3,379, 600
years from the period when scientists 4
generally believe that the world will come
to an end Such experts as Darwin and
Huxley believed that it would sustain life
100000 years hence. ce.-Philadelphia In

An Entertaining Tajker,

Professor kellar, the magician,
says that South Africa is Gods
country as far as the climate is
concerned. He considers the war
between the Beers and the English
cruel. But then, said he, some of
the most grand awakenings come
from cruel warfare. lthas ever been
thus, from the time the earth was
first populated by oai' forefathers.
The Beers are ike tie Pennsvlva-
MIA Dutch, sturdy farmers and God
tearing people. He has Travelled all
over South Africa and expects to
make a tour OF that country again
in 1900, providing the war now 60
ing on in the Transvaal does not
interfere with his plans. Professor
Kclar is great admirer of the
late Colonel Robert &. Ingcrsoll
and considers him one of the brain
lest men of his time, as well as
loving father and an ideal husband.
The Professor is an entertaining
talker, and having Travelled extern
sively, a delightful companion.
He has been wonderfully successful
and does not look his 50 years, which
he carries as well as hundreds do
their 45 years. He left for Bolti.
more, where he will play all this
week.

HE SOOTHED THE LOST BOY,
Magical Eject of Jimmy and His Ba-
mana ON Strayed Child.

mana ON Strayed Child.
While shoppers were putting in their
busiest time a little boy about years of
age was wandering up and down the
sidewalk crying for his mother, from
whom he had become separated. He was
hatless and would have been unat-
tractive but for big cluster of light,
short curls. Women stopped to pet and
fondle him. He broke away from them,
however. and ran on sobbing Mamma"
Finally he ran into 6 foot policeman,
who grabbed him up in his arms and
asked him in bluff sort of way what
the trouble was. The policeman quiet
ed the little fellow somewhat with:
"Oh, I'll find your mamma! Come
along with me-
The two started down the street the
child's head resting on the policeman's =
shoulder. Before they had gone two
blocks the child was sound asleep,
cutching in its hand penny the po-
liceman had given it. Before they got
fur the child woke up with n start and
began to cry harder than ever. The
policeman put it down to walk. At the
corner n crowd Of newsboys gathered
around, plying the good natured blue
coat with ull kinds Of questions about
his charge. One of the boys put his
hand into his coat pocket and brought
forth big banana, which he held out to
the youngster checking the flow of tears
and causing smiles to come instead.
you're good boy, Jimmy" said the
policeman as he patted the newsboy on
the head.
"Aw, dat's all right I was sayin de
banana fer me sister, but let de kid have
it, and hell fergit all about his old wo-
man"
The crowd laughed. The journey to
the station house wns made quickly, and
the little fellow, with the penny in one
hand and banana in the other, had time
only to smile at Jimmy, who had quit
selling papers long enough to walk be-
side the lost child as far as the station
house. Chicago Inter Ocean.

"How many stops does it make-you

PHILIPPINES WEALTH'.
Evidence Of Rich Deposits Of the
Precious Metals.
TESTIMONY OF EXPERT MINERS,

Just Returned to the Black Hills From
the Philippines, Tells OF Lodges Of
Gold and silver Ore Within Ten
Miles of Manila.
Deadwood, s. D., Oct. 23.-Evidences
OF the richness of the Philippine isl.
ands In the precious metals have been
shown in the Black Hills towns since
the return of the three volunteer com.
panies which served year In the ISL
ands. The Black Hills boys, many OF
them, have had practical experience in
mining for gold and silver ores, and
they have been watchful of the Philip
pines for indications Of ore deposits.
Captain Paul McClelland, of Company
i. has brought back from Manila q
piece of bamboo, corked at each end.
which contains very rich piece OF
decomposed silver ore. VI
Captain McClelland formed the &C.
quaintance of an old native. who said
the rich specimen in the bamboo stick
came from wide ledge, stepping on
distance of about 100 feet when he told
the captain the width of it. The sam
pie Of ore is nearly half silver. The
ledge, the native stated. is about ten
miles from Manila. Many of the ma
tives have learned something Of tho
value of the ore veins of the country,
having seen some of the mining done
by the Spanish. Pieces of rich gold
quartz ore have been given the Black
Hills boys by the natives, which came
from Luzon, and the ore resembles
very closely the rich free milling veins <
of the Black Hills. Chunks of gold ore
have been exhibited on the streets Of
Deadwood by some of the returned SOL
diers, which brstled with gold threads.
flakes Of nuggets, and 1t would be taken
for Black Hills ore by the most ex-
perienced mining men. @
Many of the Black Hills boys have
remained in the Philippines for the
purpose of being on the ground ready
for the gold fields as soon as order
is restored in the islands, Sew
eral outfits have been organized which
are already in the gold fields around
Manila. Some of the returning SOL
diers have small bottles of placer gold
which they panned out of the creeks
and larger streams of water with COM
mon pans. There seem to be large
quantities of black sand, which is full
of bright yellow gold, easily panned
and believed by the Black Hills men
to be of great quantities. Ky
