 It's Place
 Are we utterly dependent upon coal, so that the wheels of industry will stop and the forests be consumed for fuel when coal gives out? Of course not. It is an idle fear. says Gunton,s Maga- zine. Already we have the beginnings of a new method of utilizing natural energy which will prove enormously more effective than coal ever has been, and will be practically inexhaustible, to whatever extent industry may ex- pand. Electrical energy, developed by water power, will run the worlds in- dustries, furnish it's light and heat and be the universal substitute for all forms of combustion methods Water power is practically unlimited, and it will be utilized more and more in pro- portion as the need for it arises, and as it's use becomes, at different places and at successive periods, cheaper than coal The substitution will proceed gradually, until, when the coal supply finally is exhausted, nobody will have anything more than curious or acad- emie interest in the matter, and prob ably not ripple will be produced in tie steady onward flow of the world s industry. As the use of water power to develop electrical energy increases to the point of formidable competi- <!on with coal, electrical students and Inventors will dOubt1neS hrino o1It i'm provements making it possible to store the power or conduct it long dis tances at small cost, until our facto- ries, railroads and ships can be oper- ated by it, our houses lighted and warmed and food prepared, all at even less expense than is possible today with coal.

 THE PENALTY FOR A HAT.
It Cost Pennsylvania Young Lady He,
 Membership In Church.

Because Miss May Oller. daughter of the late Bishop Jacob F. oller, persist ed in wearing pretty creation of a hat in preference to the plain bf met worn by the women of the German Baptist church, she has forfeited her membership in the Antietam German Baptist church of Waynesbereugn Pa, according to the Philadelphia Times. Miss Oller is a highly educated young woman, a graduate of Juniata college. Her brother is superintendent of the Prick company. Last spring Miss Ol- Ter returned from a European tour, and wore in place ef the conventional bon net hat q -a lest style. In July a meeting Of the uthoities of the church was held and Hiss Oller was notified that if she would retain her member ship in the church she must return to the plainer headgear, and that she would be given until the next quarter ly meeting to make the change Miss Oller wrote to the church authorities asking them to extend the time, mean while continuing to wear the hat. The time was not extended, however. and at, the quarterly meeting she was form ally expelled from the church. Elder Jacob Snyder presided at the meeting, which was unusually lively. Postmas- ter s. B. Dubbel and J. J. and Jesse R. Oller, brothers of the young woman, made fight against expulsion, claim
 ing that the annual meeting had made the wearing of the bonnet discretion ary. This petition was, however, bit
 terly fought by the two young German Baptist ministers, the Rev. J. B. Rath- ruff and the Rev. John Oelig, who in- sisted that the traditions of the church should not be broken down, and they were successful in their battle by 8 large majority. There is much indig nation among Miss Oilers friends and relatives and they will take the matter to the next annual meeting.

CUBAN FLOWER
From Which the Islands Flag Was
 Originally Designed.

New York Tribune: There is now on exhibition in the conservatory of Pros- pect park Towering plant which is known in Cuba as Blanco EstreIla de Ginco Puntas. This plant is partieu- larly interesting, as the Cubans orig mated the design of their flag from the flower of the plant. The box of plants was received by Park Commissioner George V. Brewer, with the regards of Capt. W. Atwood French, who is sta toned in Crisbo, Cuba. Capt. French m his letter which accompanied the box of plants, states that the Cubans derive the emblematic star in their national flag, in color and the number of points, from the flower, which is white star with five points. The star emblem is used by the Cubans on all the buttons of their uniforms. in stick pins, brooches and jewelry worn bv women. Continuing, the captain says. The plant is, truly speaking, la Cuban in almost every particular. ex eept, of course, color, as no one ever saw Cuban lady as blanco as is this flower, exe4pt after cineo o'clock T. m. when she aallies forth with blanco powder (thick), accompanied by her chaperon Gin all cases), usually a little brother or the old grandmother. who is on the watch to see that she does not notice the young Cuban beau and blush the blase coloring away and give them encouragement. They are ay- ceedingly shy and reserved, and never look at any one while taking their daily afternoon promenade"

King Humbert's Smoking.

King Humbert of Italy has but few qualities in common with his father, King Victor Emmanuel, one of the few being his intense love of smoking. Temperate to the verge of asceticism, in all his other enjoyments. the king had developed his propensity for strong cigars to such pitch that his nervous system was completely shattered, lie began to be affected with asthma, and his general health was undermined. There was nothing for it but to abstain from the use of tobacco, and few years ago the court physician advised the monarch to this effect, but without any very great hopes that his royal pa tient would act upon his advice. But King Humbert at once declared: From this day I will not smoke another cigar" And he has kept his promise to the letter. The state of his health has greatly improved in consequence.

Zen Nevis and Its Observatory.

In the current number of Knowledge Mr. Brllee gives an account of Ben Nevis and Its Observatory" The ob- ject of this observatory is to study the height of clouds, their speed, direction and constitution, and to learn as much as possible regarding temperature, winds, etc. It is a true scientific in- stinct that leads us to sound, as it were, upward, just as we sound down ward and explore at the bottom of the sea. The reasons why Ben Nevis, of all places, was most suitable were: CD Because it was the highest mountain in the British isles, rising to 1, ,406 feet. CD it's summit was in close horizontal proximity to sea-level station at Fort William; (9Ait was situated in the track of the southewest storms, which influence so greatly the weather of Europe, especially in autumn and win- ter
