A So. 500. 200 Sermon.

When the Rev. Frank w Gunsaulus,
D. D., now president of the Armour
Institute Of Technology, was pastor OF
Plymouth church, ho moved all Chicago
with his oratory A young giant physic
ally, with an unequaled power OF
poetic expression, be threw himself in
to the affairs of the lake city and &C
oomplished world of good In the six
years of his service at Plymouth church
he raised something over Sc, 900, 600 for
institutions which he chose to aid or
found He began series of Sunday
night addresses at Central Music hall,
Ia State street. where the capacity OF
tho great place was tested. and thou
sands were turned away long before the
hour fer the address was at hand, and
be founded a home for young boys OF
the street, than which there is no more
hourishiug Institution Ill the west to.
day The most interesting thing TO be
related of him is that be preached a
rousing sermon one Sunday at Plym
outh. in which he set forth il his finest
manner the things that ought to hc
done for the young girls and boys
our generation When he was through
mem Der OF his congregation, Philip
Armour, the great pork packer. came
forward, and taking him By the hand
said:
do you believe in those ideas you
just now expressed:'
81 certainly do, said Dr.. Gunsaulus
And you'd carry them out If You
had the meaps?"
"Most assuredly. .
well, them" scid Mr.. Armour, "if
you will give me five years of your
time will give you the money "
The result was that Armour institute
was founded with Or Gunsaulus as its
president, where this year 1900 young
men and women will be taught the
most important industrial branches.
That Sabbath address is going down to
history under the title Of the 50, $780,

The Nile Valley.

do not myself believe that our gen.
GRAFTON will get much value out of the
Nile valley For i'll what does the Su-
dan consist? 1t is, as it were, single
thread of blue silk drawn across great
brown nugget, and even the blue thread
itself is brown for many months in the
year Where the waters of the Nile
soak into the banks there grow thorn
bushes and poisonous weeds Where
the inhabitants splash the water over
their scrappy fields-perhaps 30 yards
square-there are hard won crops This
belt Of vegetation is rarely more than
few hundred yards Lroad. and the rest
is desert-miserable, aching, desolate
desert. There is plenty Ct room to lie

gonel Look out for the futurel TO all
Christians it is time of gladness /
am glad the years are going. You are
coming Oh nearer home. Let your coun-
tenance light up with the thought
nearer homel
Now, when one can sooner get to the
center of things is he not to be con-
graduated? Who wants to be always in
the freshman class? We study God in
this world by the Biblical photograph
of him, but we al know we can in five
minutes Of interview with friend get
more accurate idea of him than we
can by studying him so years through
pictures or words. The little child that
died at six months of age knows more
of God than all Andover and all Prince
ton and all New Brunswick.
The Center of the Wheel.
Does not orr common sense teach US
that it is better TO be at the center than
to be clear out on the rim Of the wheel,
holding pervousiy fast to the tire lest
we be suddenly hurled into light and
eternal felicity? Through all kinds of
optical instruments trying to peer in
through the cracks and the keyholes of
beaven-afraid that both doors of the
celestial mansion will be swung wide
open before our entranced vision-rush
ing about among the apothecary shops
of this world wondering if this is good
for rheumatism and that is good for
neuralgia and something else is good
for bad cough, lest we be suddenly
ushered into a land of everlasting health
where the inhabitant never says, II am
sicli!'
What fools we all are to prefer the
circumference to the centerl What
dreadful thing it would be if we should
be suddenly ushered from this wintry
world into the May time orchards of
heaven, and if our pauperism of sin and
sorrow should be suddenly broken up
by presentation of an emperor's castle
surrounded by parks with springing
fountains and paths, up and down
which angels of God walk two and two!
In 1885 the French resolved that at
Client they would have kind of mu
steal demonstration that had never been
heard of. It would be made up of the
chimes of bells and the discharge of
cannon The experiment was perfect
success. What with the ringing of the
bells and the report of the ordnance the
city trembled and the hills shook with
the triunphal march that was as strange
as it was overwhelming. With most
glorious accompaniment will Gods
dear children go into their high resi-
dence when the trumpets shall sound
and the last day has come. At the sig
nal given the bells Of the towers, and
of the lighthouses, and of the cities
will strike their sweetness into last
chime that shall ring into the heavens
and float off upon the sea. joined by the
boom of bursting mine and magazine,
augmented by all the cathedral towers
of heaven-the harmonies of earth and
the symphonies of the celestial realm
making up one great triumphal march,
fit to celebrate the ascent of the re-
deemed to where they shall shine as the
stars forever and ever

New Speed Recorder.

An ingenious form of speed recording
apparatus has been recently devised for
use in some German railway expert.

proved exceedingly effective, and show,
ed, moreover, not only the speed at any
particular moment, but the time in
which stops were made, speed round

Electrical connections were made on
the axle of the carriage in such man
ner that dash and space were marked
off at each revolution on a paper strip
moved by clockwork BY marking the
length of ribbon corresponding to one
minute Of time and counting the num-
Der of dashes contained therein the nun.
Der of revolutions is given at once, and
from the diameter Of the wheels the
speed can readily be computed.
In the experiments referred to the
paper ribbon was ruled SO that one sec.

millmeter of space, and by subsequent
arrangement of curves graphic record
of speeds under various conditions was
