A new use for the X rays has been
found in the examination of ancient
manuscripts and palimpsests 1t was
a custom of the ancients to erase, or
partially erase, manuscripts on parch-
ment for the sake of the writing mate
rial, parchment being high priced. In
many cases the recovery Of the erased
writing Is of great interest and impor-
lance. While certain chemicals have
been used to render the letters of the
older writing legble, their effect has
generally been to destroy the manu-.
script sooner or later. An Italian who
has made a deep study of the inks used
by the ancient scribes has discovered
that many Of them are Opaque to the

be made showing the now almost total

Powerful Preservatiye.

Powerful Preservative.
Have you not been in enough trouble
to have that work go on? was read
ing of Aristotle, who said there was o
field of flowers in Sicily so sweet that
once q hound. coming on the track OF
game, came to that field and was be-
wildered by the perfumes and so lost
the track. Oh. that our souls might
become ike "a held which the Lord
hath blessed and eXhale so much of
the sweetness of Christian character
that the hounds of temptation, coming
on our track, might lose it and go howl
ing back with disappointment!
But remark again that the grace Of
God is like the salt in its preservative
quality. You know that salt absorbs
the moisture Of articles of food and
infuses them with brine, which pre-
serves them for long while. Salt is
the great antiputrefactOr of the world.
Experimenters, in preserving wood,
have tried sugar and smoke and air
tight jars and everything else, but as
will be suggestive, and men will admit
that as a great preseryative salt is
good" But for the grace of God the
earth would have become a stale car
cass long before this. That grace is
the only preservative of laws and con-
stitutions and literatures. Just as soon
as a government loses this salt of d.
vine. grace it perishes. The philosophy
of this day. so far as it is antagonistic
to this religion, putrefies and stinks.
The great want of our schools of learn
ing and our institutions of science to-
day is not more Leyden jars and gal
vanic batteries and spectroscopes and
philosophical apparatus, but more of
that grace that will teach our men Of
science that the God Of the universe is
the God of the Bible. How strange it
is that in all their magnificent sweep
of the telescope they have not seen the
morning star Of Jesus and that in all
their experiments with light and heat |
they have not seen the light and felt |
tHe wal Iulu VI the gun VI NlSuIcOuo-
ness! We want more Of the salt of
Gods grace in our homes, in our
schools, in our colleges, in our social
life, in our Christianity. And that
which has it will live; that which has
it not will die. proclaim the tenden-
cy of everything earthly to putrefac-
ton and death, the religion Of Christ
the only preservative.
My subject is one of great congratu-
latiOn to those who have within their
souls this gospel antiseptic. This salt
will preserve them through the tempta-
tons and sorrows of life and through
the ages of eternity. l do not mean to
say that you will have a smooth time
because you are Christian. On the

which we can climb mp into the light
1t is a positive necessity for the soul
You can tell very easily what the eifect
would be if person refused to take
salt into the body. The energies would
fall the lungs would struggle with the
air, slow fevers would crawl through
the brain. the heart would futter, and
the life would be gone. Salt, a neces.
sity for the life of the body; the grace
of God, a necessity for the life Of The
soul!
Again remark that grace is like salt
| in abundance. God has strewn salt In
! vast profusion all over the continents.
Russia seems built on saltcellar.
There is one region of that country
that turns out 10000 tons in a year.
England and Russia and Italy have in
eXhaustible resources in this respect.
Norway and Sweden, white with snow
above, white with salt beneath. Aus
tria, yielding 100000 tons annually.
Nearly all the nations rich in it-rock
salt. spring salt, sea salt. Christ, the
Creator of the world, when he uttered
our text knew it would become more
and more significant as the shafts were
sunk, and the springs were bored, and
the pumps were worked, and the crys-
tails were gathered. So the grace of
God is abundant. 1t Is for all lands,
for all ages. for all conditions. 1t seems
to undergirl everything-pardon for
the worst sin. comfort for the sharpest
suffering, brightest light for the thick
est darkness. Around about the salt
lakes Of Saratov there are 10000 men
toiling day and night, and yet they
never exhaust the saline treasures.
And if the 1,600,000,000 Of our race
should now cry out to God for his mer
cy there would be enough for all-for
those furthest gone in sin, for the MUIR
derer standing on the drop Of the gal
lows. 1t is an ocean of mercy, and if
Europe and Asia, Africa. North and
South America and all the islands Of
the sea went down in 1t today they
would have room enough to wash and
come up clean. Let no man think that
his case is too tough one for God to
act upon. Though your sin may. be
deep and raging, let me tell you that
Gods grace is bridge not built on
earthly piers, but suspended and SPAN
ming the awful chasm of your guilt, |
one end resting upon the rock of eter-
nal promises and the other on the foun-
dations Of heaven. Demetrus wore
robe so incrusted with jewels that no
one after him ever dared to wear 1t.
but our King Jesus. takes off the robe
of his righteousness. robe blood dyed
and heaven impaired, and reaches it
out to the worst wretch in all the earth
and says: Put that on! Wear it nowl
Wear it forever"

The Grace of God.

Again, the grace of God Is like salt
in the way we come at it. The salt on
the surface is almost always impure
that which incrusts the Rocky noun
tains and the South American pampas
and in India-but the miners go down
through the shafts and through the
dark labyrinths and along by galleries
of rock and with torches and pickaxes,
find their way under the very founda-
tons of the earth to where the salt lies
that makes up the nations wealth. To
get to the best saline springs OF the
earth huge machinery goes down, bor-
ing depth below depth. depth below
depth until from under the very roots
of the mountains the saline water sup
plies the aqueduct. This water is
brought to the surface and is exposed
III tanks to the sun for evaporation. or
it is put in boilers nightly heated, and
the water evaporates. and the salt
gathers at the bottom Of the tank. The
work is completed, and the fortune is
made. So with the grace Of God. 1t is
to be profoundly sought after. With
all the concentered energies of body,
mind and soul we must dig for it. No
man Stumbles accidentally on it. We
need to go down to the very lowest
strata Of earnestness and faith to find
it. Superficial exploration will not turn
it up. We must strive and implore and
dig until we strike the spring foaming
with living waters. Then the work of
evaporation begins. and as, when the
saline waters are exposed to the sun
the vapOrs float away, leaving nothing
but the pure white salt at the bottom
of the tank, so, when the Christians |
soul is exposed to the Sun of Righteous
ness, the vapors of pride and selfish
ness and worldliness float off and there
is chiefly left beneath pure white holt
ness Of heart. Then, as in the case Of
the salt the furnace is added. Blazing
troubles, stirred by smutted stokers Of
darkness, quicken the evaporation Of
worldliness and the disqualification Of
grace.

Again, grace Is like salt in the fact
that it is necessity of life. Man and
beast perish without salt. What are
those paths across the western prai-
ries? Why, they were made there by
deer and buffalo going to and coming
away from the salt clicks" Chemists
and physicians all the world over tell
us that salt is necessity of life. And
so with the grace of God; you must
have it or die. | know a great many
speak of it as mere adornment, a sort
of shoulder strap adjoining a soldier, or
a light, frOthing dessert brought in
after the greatest part of the banquet
OF life is over, or a medicine to be TAX
en- after powders and mustard plasters
have failed to do their work, but ordi-
narily a mere superhuity, a string of
bells around a horses neck while he
draws the load and in nowise helping
him to draw it. So far from that, | de-
clare the grace of God to be the first
and the last necessity. 1t is food we
must take or starve into an eternity of
famine. 1t is clothing. without which
we freeze to the mast Of infinite terror.
1t is the plank, and the only plank, on
which we can float shoreward. 1t isl

MATTERS

WASHINGTON, JULY 12.-All arrange

ments for the lands or the Kiowa, Com
anche and Apache Indians The prelim'
mary work has occupied the indian di-
vision of the department of the interior
Tor some days la I, and 1t has been deh-
nItely shaped. Today the instructions
eovcrning the work Of the allotment we:c
issued. They show that Inspector Ma5''

structions were addressed to them and
cover every possible development III the
work of which they are assignel 1t is
ex1 ected that they will leave with. n
week for the reservatins, and, working
in conjunction with Col. Randelet, the
agent in charge of the reservation, will
soon have the matter well in hand
It developed today that one of the ma t
ters which perplexed the interior de-
parment in carrying out these provisions
of the act which opens the reservation
to settlement and provided for the allot-
ments was that no fund was available for
the purpose The act required the work
to be done within ninety days and yet no
provision was made for the large force
of special agents which would be neces-
sary TO make the alotments in the period
indicated. With this condition In mind
were carefully considered, and it was de-
cided to use a portion Of the $4,000 which
was given the department as the regular
appropriation under the general allotment
act 1t is found that it will be necessary
to withdraw a number of the five or SIX
special lrnts who have been working un-
der the torms of the general allotment
act, AMI whose services will be entirely
discontinued.
Although the instructions issued to the
inspector and general agents direct them
to fnishthe work within ninety days, II
it Is recognized here that this will be i'm
possible and the work of allotment will
still be in progress when congress con-
venes next December. What egect this
will have upon the opening of the reser
walton cannot be said, but 1t is thought
that 1t will be none other than to post
pone the date for the opening. All inter
ested will have to face the proposition
that the ninety requirement is an i'm
possibility.
The task assigned to the inspector anC
the special agents IS a heavy one, as th'

reservation contains over 100000 acres
and 1900 Indians. Inspector Messler has
been authorized to employ a clark at a
salary Of 800 per month, and his selee-
tion has already been made.
Each Of the special agents will have the
assistance of a corps of surveyors, who
will do the technical work of locating the
boundaries Of each allotment The in
structions which were given are based
upon the law which provided for the al
lotments and the opening Of the reserva-
ton, with the exception of those parts,
which refer entirely to matters Of system
and Keeping Of schedules and accounts.
The instructions Informs the special
agents that every member of the Kiowa.
Comache and Aapache tribes over 1S years
Of age shall have the right to Sc ect for
himself or herself 100 acres of land, to
be held and owned in severalty. The faith
er, If he be dead the mother, of members
of either of the tribes named shall have
the right to select like amount of land
for each of his or her children under the
age Of eighteen years. The act provides
that the commissioner of Indian affairs
should apoint persons for selecting a like
amount of land for each orphan child
belonging to the TRIBES under the age
OIL eighteen years. Both of the special
agents and the inspector has been com
missioned for this work, along with 9TH
er duties which fall to them
The agents of the department are eau
toned not to allow selections for allot-
ments to be made i'm any part of the
reservation now Occupied for military
school, or religious purposes, or now held

member of one of the tribes was already
