PAINTS HIS CHURCH.
English Clergyman Surprises His
Brethren of the Cloth.
Funds of His Parish Were Distress.
ingly Short, So He Turned In and
Did the Work Himself, and
Did 1t Well, Too.

Rev. G. M. Macdonald, vicar of the
historic old Church of ST. John the
Baptist, in Spalding, England, has just
given his brethren of the cloth an i'm
pressive in practical Christianity
and also won for himself the interest
ing distinction of being the first
preacher-house painter recorded in
the history of the English church.
For a long time the walls of his
venerable charge had been sadly in
need of a new coat of paint, but the
parish was SC poor that there were
no funds available to pay for having
the work done.
1t was at this unfortunate juncture
that the vicar proved the practical
character of his devotion to the
church. Instead of wasting time in
idle regrets, Mr.. Macdonald donned
a painters blouse and painted the
walls of the church and school him
self.
1t was unique undertaking for a
clergyman, and one that has attracted
general attention. 1t is all the more
remarkable in view of the fact that
Mr.. Macdonald, unlike many other
English divines, is not descended from
tradesmen or mechanics, but is the
scion of a distinguished English
Scotch family, whose most illustrious
member was the famous Flora Mac
Donald
Mr.. Macdonald is a talented anti
quarian and was engrossed in his
studies, but willingly stopped to chat
little in reference to the church
painting episode.
Il don't see any particular occasion
for all this comment with reference to
my having temporarily discarded the
minister's gown for the painters

True to its declaration made before the

Ehamokin that had been closed by the

This action makes it necessary for the

Third Party Must Step In.
Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 20. - The second
day Of the anthracite coal strike has
failed to bring forth anything that would
lead to the coming together Of the coal
operators and the striking mine workers.
Neither side has approached the other
and as far as could be learned last night
there is no such move contemplated by
either the operators or their employees.
Unless there is a break in the ranks Of
either it seemed last night that third
party will have to step into the breach
and try to bring the two forces together.
Who that third party will be and what
methods will be pursued with that end in
view no one in touch with the situation
can at this time say.

The widespread impression that peo-

men enjoy, receives a little support
from the Investigations of DR.. Rivers

found to be superior to those OF nor

In France, Monsieur Dufour has sue
ceeded in making thermometer tubes
Of pure quartz. Not only are these
tubes exceedingly transparent, but
their resistance to heat and other ad-
vantages make them superior to glass
for thermometers intended to measure
high temperatures. In such thermom-
eters, melted tin takes the place Of
mercury. and the scale reads from
about 465 degrees Fahrenheit up over
1000 degrees. It could be run up to
1900 degrees, for quartz does not soften
below that temperature.

( An explanation has been given, in
the house of commons, of the reason
why American capitalists were al
lowed to take a large slice of the new
British loan. The war had greatly de-
pleted the stock of gold in the Bank
of England Meanwhile there was a
great abundance Of gold in this coun-
try. The result of disposing Of a part
of the loan here was to draw gold to
London. 1t is all simple enough; but
the fact remains that it is only very
lately that this country was rich
enough to take foreign loans. Perhaps
the most significant feature of the af-
fair is that capital at interest now
earns so little that the possessors Of
it are content with per cent If the
security be unimpeachable.
