THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Statistics Prepared by the Clerk of
the General Assembly showing
Growth of Com M n n icants.

~ official figures for the Presby-
te. - .urch in the United States have
jus. .>en prepared by the stated clerk
of the general assembly,, Rev. DR.. w. H.
Roberts. The following shows the
growth in communicates year by year
since 1894: 1894, 4O,9OS; 1895, 2G,907;
1896, 2O,S02; 1897, 1915; 1898, 14,966;
1899. 5000. The number of baptisms
also shows decrease. In 1894 there
were 56,263, while in the last year they
were 32,6s0.
Last year and this there appear the
totals of dismissed and dropped, Dut
these do not appear for previous years.
The number of these exceeds $4,000 n
year. They do not affect the baptisms,
nor can they affect the number annu-
ally received on confession of faith.
The latter were in 1894, 74,S26; and in
1890, 1920.
or ordained ministers living by, the
church there are 1912. The net in
crease in church mem bership last year
was 5000. The average number of con-
verts by each minister was LOO.
year and half ago forward move
ment was inaugurated, which had for
its object the adding of 100000 new
Sunday school scholars by January,
1901. The time is little more than
half passed. The scholars in Presby-
terian Sunday schools for three years
numbered as follows: In 1897, 1924
4G2; in 1898, 1,O34.1G4; and in 1899,
1.020,209.
es. A net growth of S,OOO members
would give each church LEG new mem
hers.
The income of the board of Home
Missions was $l.00j.3il, part of it due
to special effort to pay off the debt, but
1t still shows more than on any pre-
ceding year. The total for all purposes
was S13,777.719.

SHOWS TREMENDOUS POWER.
At Sandy HOok-Would Sink
q Battleship.

At the Sandy Hook proving grounds
an experiment was made with dyna-
mite shell which tended to prove that
If 1t had struck a battleship the lat
ter would have been sunk. The shell,
made from about 900 pounds of cast
steel, and carrying a bursting charge
of 1871 pounds of explosive gelatine.
was fred from an ordinary 12-inch
rife at piece of Harveyized steel ~
inches thick and specially treated,
placed 200 yards away 4t an angle of
45 degrees to the line of fire. Behind
it was thick backing Of oak, and be-
hind the oak was small mountain
of sand, the whole calculated to be
stronger than battleship's side. The
steel target was blown clear of the
oak backing, and II feet to one side.
The most destructive explosive was
used in the shell. 1t was composed of
SO per cent. of nitroglycerin, per cent.
OF guncotton as an absorbent, and 4
per cent. of camphor. 1t is estimated
to be rs per cent. more powerful than
No. dynamite.

MAKE EXCELLENT SOLDIERS.
Success Attends the Experiment of
Enlisting Porto Ricans In the
American Army.

Success has attended the experiment
of enlisting Porto Ncans in the Amer
lean army. A battalion of the natives
of Uncle Sans new possession in the
West Indies has been organized, and
Lieut.. BRAND. the battalion adjutant,
has written to Maj. johnson, of the ad-
iutant generals office, speaking in the
highest terms of the personnel of the
battalion.
Lieut.. BRAND says the Porto Rican
soldiers are an excellent lot of men, re-
spectful to their superiors, obedient,
and have shown willingness to learn
their duties. They take great pride in
being soldiers of the United States
army, and are always clean and neat in
appearance. They are easy to handle,
and learn quickly. Drunkenness is al
most unknown among them.
Lieut.. BRAND, who has had Is years
experience in the army, says the Porto
Rican soldiers when differed by Amer
leans will be Il valuable addition to the
army.
The battalion is commanded by Maj
L. p. Dawson, and the other officers are
Capts. Maginnis, Latrobe and Page;
First Lieuts. Ord, Hamilton, BRAND and
Raymond; Second Iieuts. Cooper and
Nadal.
These officers take great pride in the
organization, and hope to be able to
place it on an equal footing as to fight
ing qualities with American troops. The
success which has attended the organ
ization of the battalion and the favor
able reports received indicate more
Porto Ricans will be enlisted to sup
ply the places of the battalions which
will be withdrawn from Porto Rico in
pursuance with the plan of adopting
the British system of maintaining one
battalion of each regiment at home and
two on the foreign service.

THE HORSES PETITION


On one OF the 10 ost travelled roads Just
out of the great city of London, Eng

Up the hill, whip me not,
In the STABLE forget me not,
OF hay and grain. rob me not,

The world ia beginning to acknow-
ledge that animals have rights. Kind
treatment, consideration, feed, shelter
and rest are declared to be the rights of
animals.
1t has been but a few years since the
world has acknowledged that the law
could intervene between an animal and
his owner to protect the animal from his
owners cruelty. But now, thank God,
we have laws for the protection of ami
mails all over our broad land, and many
benefcent societies to ''speak for those
who cannot speak for themselves"
God gave animals to man for his use,
not abuse, for running all through the
Bible are sdmonitions to be kind to an
imals. We hope the day is not far dis
tant when Hillsboro, whose people are
80 advanced in all that makes life worth
living, will have not only Society for
the Protection of Animals, but senti
ment of justice and kindness to animals
will prevail. R. L. H.

SCIENTIFIC CROQUET.
National AssOciatiOn Elevates Lawn
Game by Changing Its Name
to That of Rogue.

The National Croquet association at
a special meeting held at Norwich,
Conn.,, voted to change the name GRO
quet to rogue. The members say that
the game they play is unlike the game
played by the general public. They
have been unable to arouse interest IN
this sport because those not initiated
are averse to being connected with q
game so apparently simple. After
years of vain effort to elevate the game
the members decided to "adopt for the
scientific game that we play name
that win distinguish it in the public
mind from all other games and give 1t Q
standard Of its own"
