Midway between the rock and the
shore there was Whirlpool suck.
hole, as the shepherd said-and it was
to avoid this that the man had gone
so far upstream. He was an expert
swimmer, but he was weakened from
overwork and the long fast. and SO
the current proved too strong for him.
IL carried him past the shepherd, and
suddenly his feet pointed to the suck.
Round and round, faster and faster, as
he came at each turn nearer the neck
of the funnel, the doomed man
whirled, while the shepherd looked on,
pawerless.
As he drew near the fatel center the
force Of the water stood him up: he
waved his hand, smiled at the shep-
herd AID shot down to the bottom Of
the fOaming river.
Knowing that to remain there was
to perish, tho shepherd succeeded in
reaching the shore. Half starved, he
reached the cabin of a miner who was
washing gold in the canyon of the
Colorado. There we found him-a
white-haired young man-while on our
way to the San Juan gold fields in
1898, and from his own lips heard this

ELECTRICITY IN cHURcHRs
The Most Modern Appliances Are be-
ing Brought Into Use fin
These EdlRces.

Electricity is put to various uses in
churches; in no other buildings, in
fact, is it more commonly employed
In this city all new churches are pro
vided with electrical equipment; and
many old churches also have been sim.
ilarly equipped. The same is substan.
TALLY true of all cities and towns in
which there are to be found electric
plants. Some churches have complete
plants of their own on the premises,
but the greater number take the cur.
rent from the street main.
Besides its use for lighting purposes
electricity is now commonly employed
in churches for running a motor to
operate the organ bellows. This
motor can be set in motion or stopped
by the organist as he sits in his place
at the keyboard simply by the turn.

In the newer churches and such
appliances hdve also been put into
older churcheszt organ itself il
provided with electrical appliances by
means Of which the valves OF the u
gan pipes are opened. Formerly this
was done by means Of mechanical ap
pliances that were operated by ths
pressing down OF the key Now each
key is connected by a wire with the
valve of the pipe TO which 1t belongs
and when key is pressed down I'll
wire is brought into contact with q
supply wire running along under the
keyboard, the circuit is closed, and by
means of the power thus transmitted
along the wire from the key the valve
is opened. It is, Of course, kept open
until the contact is broken by the re.
lease of the key. Organs set up in
separate sections in church are con.
nected by wire in the same manner
and readily played from the same key
board; and new organs, however stu.
ated in church, are now likely 70 be

Church chimes are now played by

Eccentricity has its victims in ali
classes of society. Even the clergy do
not escape, while their prominent posi-
ton in the community renders their
idiosyncrasies doubly notable. Among
the clerical peculiarities which have
gone down in history, those Of Rev.
Mathew Byles, of Boston, are entitled
to high rank.
One fast day DR.. Byles was to ex.
change pulpits with a country clergy
man, and on the appointed morning
both ministers set out on horseback for
their respective destinations. AS the
two horsemen neared the HALFWAY
point DR. Byles spied his brother minis.
ter. and instantly by whip and spur
drove his horse into a wild gallop.
