First Presbyterian.

The Christmas services at the First
Presbyterian church We're attended by
two large congregations. The Christ
mas music, in charge of the capable
and experienced director, j. II. Wat
kins, has never been surpassed at
this church. A chorus of twenty-five
voices. we'll drilled and thoroughly
disciplined. gave an excellent account
of itself. The attack, precision, blend
ing of voices and clear conception
which always marks Mr.. Watkins
readings We're easily discernible in
the beautiful singing of the superb
chorus.
The various anthems are among
the best it has been our privilege to
listen to. Both morning and evening
congregations We're delighted with the
good music, and We're loud in their
praises of the work of Mr.. Watkins.
The solo 1uartette We're heard to ad-
vantage and seemed to be in splendid
voice. 1T was pleasure to hear Mr..
VIII Watkins resonant and vibrant
voice sing a solo at the evening SER
vice. With n clear and distinct enun-
citation he rendered his solo with great
force and expression. The anthems
contained solos for soprano. alto and
tenor, all of which We're given full
justice by Mrs. Thiee, Mrs. Keller
and Mr., David Stephens.
Rev. DR.. Mcleod. the pastor, preach
ed an eloquent Christmas sermon in
the morning, and in the evening mad :
brief address on the coming Of the
mag to worship the new born Christ.
During The services Or. Mcleod, in
his own behalf and in behalf of the
elders of the church. expressed the
hope that every member of the church
will be present at the special conf
munion service, which will he held
next Sunday, December goth. A SER
vice preparatory to the celebration of
the Lords supper will be held on
Wednesday evening of this week.

Second Presbyterian.

At the Second Presbyterian church
there was splendid service given in
the evening by the choir, under the
direction of Professor j. NJ. Chance,
the efficient musical director Miss
Susie Black was heard in solo from
Dudley Bucks cantata, "The Coming
of the King" and never was her Won
derfully powerful soprano voice heard
to better advantage.
Tom Gippel rendered Neidlinger's
1.-THE Eastern Star" in splendid man
ner, while Ralph Williams sang Shell
ley's "O'er the Hills of Bethlehem" in
faultless style, Miss Garagan had an
alto solo and it was especially suited

Gold in the Philippines.

Gold is found at an endless number OF
points in the Philippines, almost every
stream which cuts the older rocks carry
ing. some dust, and auriferous quartz veins
also are known at several points in Luzon
and in Mindanao. | have been able to
obtain no information warranting the be-
lief that there is any highly important gold
field in the archipelago. The natives are
extremely skillful with the pan, and have
been exploiting the gravels for centuries.
They also understand sailing a mine. |
do not believe they have left any great
prizes in the way of placers, and, to some
extent, they have also worked the quartz.
consider the gold resources Of the Philip
pines comparable with those of the Caro-
linas and Georgia rather than with those
of Colorado or California. The resources
of Mindanao are not SO unknown as many
suppose. Competent experts made exam
nations, years ago, in each of the aurifer-
GUS provinces, Misamis and Surigao, and
neither of them reported encouraging re-
suits. Great caution should be exercised
in seeking to develop gold mining in the
Philippine Islands.

In Death Valley.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
The range of the thermometer is prob
ably greater in Death Valley than else
where in the Western Hemisphere. In
winter the temperature is way below zero,
while in July and August the thermome-
ter ranges for weeks at 1877 degrees above,
frequently rising several degrees higher.
For weeks at time the lowest tempera-
ture observed exceeded 100 degrees. The
deadly heat burns every vestige of vegeta-
ton. The Spanish bayonet, plant that
fiourishes under the most arid conditions,
here barely survives, while the mesquite,
with its long roots penetrating deep into
the earth in search of scanty moisture, just
manages to exist.
The prevailing winds in Death Valley
are from the west Though originating
in the Pacific Ocean aud saturated with
humidity in travelling the intermediate
distance, they are intercepted by the lofty
peaks of four ranges of mountains, which
absorb all of their moisture, so that by the
time they reach the valley all the humid
ity has disappeared. The blasts are as if
heated in fiery furnace, and no living
thing can survive the intense heat. Even
birds indigenous to the region die.
1t is in the months of greatest heat that
the sand storms of Death Valley are most
deadly. They rage with intense fury,
obliterating landscape and dimming the
light of the sun, whitening the scanty veg
citation aud covering the trails deep in pow
dered dust. At all times the aspect of the
valley is superlatively desolate- No spot
on earth surpasses it in aridity or tophet-
like heat.
During the heated term an hoaf without
water means death. Meat becomes putrid
in an hour. Eggs are cooked in the blis-
tering sand. Water is only palatable BY
means of large porous earthenware jars,
common to all hot countries, suspended in
draughts and reduced in temperature by
means of the rapid evaporation of the mols-
ture from the outside.

The Roar of Battle.
From june scrIbner's.


The roar Of the navy's four-point
ems, their crash, their rush as they passed,
the shrill whine of the shrapnel, the bark
ing of the howitzers and the mechanical,
regular rattle of the quick firing Maxims,
which sounded like the clicking Of many
moving machines on hot summers s day,
tore the air with such hideous noises that
ope,s skull ached from the conclusion, and
