An Effective Preacher.

How to interest and hold the atten-
ton of an audience is often a source
of much work and thought; but the
following incident astonished me by
it's power and effectiveness. The ma
jority of those who worship in my con-
gregation are as attentive as any au
dience in the west. Indeed, think they
are exceptional in this respect. Last
Sunday morning preached a sermon
on "The Good Fight of Faith" AS I
got warmed up my hands kept pace
with my tongue. The attention was
far beyond tn: ordinary; every eye was
fixed on the preacher from start to
finish. And please do not accuse me
of vanity-thought: Surely the sermon
| is a good one, or it has struck the right
chord. And l felt splendid. The serv-
| ice closed and the audience was dis
missed As I went down from the pull
pit brother whispered few words
to me; then another; one lady invited
me to her house as soon as l could get
away. A dozen or more repeated the
! first brothers words. The exceptional
interest in that sermon was due to
the fact that the seam in the arm of my
coat had parted, revealing startling
fash of whiteness at every gesture. If
attention lags-part seam.-Horhi

insect to stand upright.
Presently the bottle began to move
slowly, and glide along the smooth
table, propelled by the muscular pow
err of the imprisoned beetle. and contin-
ued its travels for some time to TIE
astonishment of all who witnessed it.
The weight of the bottle and its con.
tents could not have been less than
three pounds and half. while that of
the beetle was about half an ounce: SC
that it readily moved weight 112 times
greater than its own.

botanists are constantly striving to,
solve. The most remarkable part of it
all is the tremendous power of this
rising column of water. Why, we have
found it even in small plants to attain
the comparatively great pressure of
two atmospheres, or nearly 80 pounds
to the square inch. In big trees the
accumulated pressure must be i'm
mense.
1--WE have cut off a. plant near the sur
face of the dirt in the flower pot and
then attached a glass tube to the
stump. We filled the glass tube with wa
ter and corked it.. Yet the rising pres
sure from the roots was sufficient to
force the cork from the tube Water
is uncompressible, so the cork had to
go: but if the tube had nothing but air
in it and the cork was secured tightly
enough, the air would have been COM
pressed.
"You could make fountain on this
principle. You should procure an
S-shaped glass tube of small bore. This
glass tube should be secured to the

can be made with short piece of rub
Der tubing (see diagram), bound with
wire. Into the neck of the tube should
be poured some water. Some of the
water should be allowed to run over in
to the part of the tube attached to the
plant. This will leave an air space be-
tween the two portions of water. A
cork with pin point quill run through
it should be forced tightly into the open
end of the glass tube. The quill should
be capped with a smaller cork. Then
the root pressure should be allowed to
operate. AS the fluid from the roots
rises it will force the water in the
lower end of the tube upward. This
will compress the air in the middle of
the tube. When a sufficient pressure is
obtained it will be only necessary to
remove the cork cap from the quill.
when the compressed air will force the
upper water through the quill in the
form OF fine spray or fount ain. Gin

BARRELS OF WATER.
Travelling Up Inside Of Trees Every
Spring, Owing to Pressure
81 from the Roots.

1t is not generally known that many
common plants, such as the poplar, the
abutilon, the tomato plant, may be
made to compress air in tube until a
pressure of 80 or more pounds to the
square inch is obtained. 1t is not gen.
orally known, furthermore, that in the
spring common tree might be made to
compress air enough to run an engine.
Yet these facts, phrased in more tech
nical language, PERHAPS, are known to
every botanist. This capacity OF plants
for generating power is the res lit of
what is known as rootfpressure, & Dhe-
nomenon which becomes manifest
mostly in spring. Prof. c. c. Curtis, OF
Columbia college, has designed ;n i'll
strument for measuring root pressure.
He was asked to explain the pheEom-
enon and it's cause. In the course Of his
remarks he said:
Every spring, before the leaves have
come forth on the trees and shrubberv
every plant, every vegetable grow
thing, in fact, develops 2 capacity for
sending great quantities of moisture up
through the trunks and branches and
out to the bursting buds on the ends of
the twigs. The quantity of the mois-
ture naturally depends on the size of
the plant. Barrels Of water travel up
the big trees, as is evidenced by the sap
in an apple orchard; bucketfuls ascend
the saplings, and smaller quantities
climb up the bushes.
mo one has yet been able to explain
satisfactorily the. force which drives it
up. 1t does not rise because of capillary
attraction. From lack of knowledge of
any other cause, we call it root pressure.
1t comprises one of the problems which

SOMETHING UNUSUAL.

He hunted through the library,
He looked behind the door,
He searched where baby keeps his toys
Upon the nursery floor;
He searched for cook and Mary,
He called mamma to look,
He even started sister up
To leave her Christmas book.
He couldn't find it anywhere.
And knew some horrid tramp
Had walked in through the open gate
And stolen il, the scamp!
Perhaps the dog had taken it
And hidden it away;
Or else perhaps he'd chewed 1t up
And swallowed it in play.
And then mamma came down the stairs,
Looked through the closet door
And there 1t hung upon its peg,
AS it had hung before.
And Tommy's cheeks turned rosy red,
Astonished was his face.
He couldn't find his cap-because
Twas in its proper place!
