RECoLLEcTIoxs OF MOODY.
He Was a Man who Insisted ON Hav-
ing Things Done.

George +. Pentecost, in the Independent.
In action-i. e.. in the thick of a great
religious campaign, he was something of a
martinez. / remember a little scene be-
tween him and the able secretary and man
ager of his London committee, Mr.. Robert
Patton. IL was II o'clock on a Saturday
morning. Mr.. Moody had suddenly changed
the plan OF campaign for the following
week and he wanted fresh tickets ready in
time to distribute TO his five thousand
workers who would assemble early the
next Sunday morning at he Z o'clock
workers meeting Patton said he, in
forming him of his change of plan, Il want

ble?" asked Moody. why" replied Patton,
this is Saturday and II o'clock. All the
printing establishments close down work at
noon to-day. and, even if they did not. 5O-
0C0 tickets could not be prepared in half
day They argued the point a few min
utes and then Moody turned upon his heel
with the remark. Patton, it must be done"
Mr.. Patton looked blankly for moment at
the huge retreating figure and then went
out of the room like shot and in two min
utes he was in cab tearing down 10 the
printing establishment. lido not know how
it was managed, but the $4,000 tickets were
distributed the next morning to his 5000
workers. Thus ii ever was with Moody.
Once in q critical time, during the early
building operations up here, Mr.. Marshall.
MS general superintendent, SAID tnat Ill was
absolutely necessary before the end of the
week that large sum of money be had.
That afternoon Mr.. Moody took train for
New York. He came back the next day
with the money. He did not borrow II.

of knowledge and intelligence superior TO
those possessed By the present inhabitants
of the country. Gold was extracted from
these mines by smelling. many furnaces
having been found, and alongside of them
ancient molds in which ingots were cast.
Several ruins have also been discovered in
Rhodesia, the magnitude and Workmanship
of which proves that men of superior civil
ization either inhabited or else occupied
this part of the world a few thousand
years before us; to them are probably
due the ancient workings which are found.
With the primitive Instruments at their

only able to scrape the surface of the gold

which has been taken from the mines hard

not know gold! Where Is the portrait OF
the Queen on it,"
In vain Mr.. Dawson tried to explain to
him how gold was converted into soyer-
eigns; old Lo Ben was not persuaded.
1 remember also finding an Indian strand
ed at Buawayo in 1892; he was starving.
and explained to me that he had been told
that gold grew in the country. and that he
would have only TO dig 10 find sovereigns;
in vain he had been digging all along the
road. and had come to the conclusion that
those who had told him that there was gold
in the country were liars. Engiishmen who
tell us that there is gold I'm Rhodesia

gold Is found and extracted. as few people

quired to put a quartz mine I'm proper

sixty nine years ago. There is nothing

Risked His Life In a Canoe.

when used for ordinary pleasure pur-
poses, the only protection he had to
keep the water out being the ordinary

There was Il light northwesterly wind
as he started from Dover, but later In
the day the wind veered to southwest
and freshened, and there was quite an
unpleasant ripple on the water. Ohau-

Chicago people are accustomed to see

Chicago people are accustomed to see
ing the Fresnel light In the several
lighthouses in the harbor but probably
few have ever inquired into the mech
anism of the apparatus by which the
flashes are produced. Take the one on
the north pier as typical. Within 1t is
an arrangement Of lenses, supplement-
ed by prlsms, which revolve around a
sperm oil-burning lamp. When one of
the lenses comes opposite the observer
the eye receives bright flash preceded
and followed by brief eclipse. There
are six orders of lenses, arranged ac-
cording to size. The first three and
largest are used in seacoast lights, and
the last three in harbor and river lights.
The lamp differs from other lamps In
the provision of wicks. Carcel invented
Il lamp which Is named for him, in
which oil Is fed to the wick by means
of pump, operated by clockwork,
sometimes used In lighthouses and as a
domestic lamp. Fresnel adopted the
Carcel lamp, but improved it so that ii
pumps up to the burner four times as
much oil as is consumed, which, by
keeping the burners cool, prevents them
from melting and also the wicks from
burning up. Sometimes wick will
burn whole night without requiring
snuffing. This, Notwithstanding the fact
that the intensity of the Fresnel light
is about equal to that Of about twenty.

ed. The annual consumption of oil by
the lenses of the first order Is 694 gal,

than the old retiectors and the saving
Of oil is great. The ratio of effect OF
the lens light is to that of the reflector

burned in lens throws as much light

eiple that should take the place of every

that man. Indeed, he began with his
experiments ten years earlier. Over
IN France was Fresnel at work on a
marine light that was destined to send
It's apprsing flashes from six several
towers in the Chicago harbor over the
waters to the horizon. The Frenchman
lived TO perfect his light; he was ap-
pointed secretary to the lighthouse
board of France in 1925 and while he
was IN that position he replaced reflect
ors with lenses and invented the revolv-
Ing light. Then he added prismatic
rings. The result was the system that
still goes by his name and has long
since changed the mode of lighthouse
illumination throughout the world. 1t

Does Cooking Spoil Food?

Prof B. Tyler, of indianapolis, says
that human life would average three
or four times longer than 1t does II
people would reject the senseless prac-
tice of cooking their food. Animals
and fowl live much longer in proportion
to the period of full development than
man. Says Prof. Tyler: Man, for
some unknown reason, eats dead cells
Cooked cells to replace the dead cells
that have been separated from the
body. In cooking food all the acids
and gases so necessary for the conser-
vation and preservation Of ideal health
escape with the steam, and the food
retains greater supply of ash, lime
and other such substances than nature
requires for the amount of food taken
into the system"
