GREAT PAPER MACHINE.

A Trade Journal Pays Compliment to the
Pussy & Jones Co.
The Paper Trade Journal under date
Of October 18th, says:
''The Pussy q Jones Co. of Will
mington, Del, which has the exclusive
control of the Bertram economizer
(Fullner patents) in the United States
and Canada is now taking very prac-
tical and oommendable way Of con-
vincing paper mill owners OF the in
trinsic value of these pulp savers. The
company has decided upon plan the
originality Of which commends itself
to all interested parties. 1t is perhaps
the first instance on record whore a
manufacturer of paper machinery has
proposed to furnish, Tree of charge, a
paper mill machine to mill owners for
experimental purposes. This company
is now building small portable paper
machine, in many respects O duplicate
of the machine 1t built for Heller &
Merz Co., of New York. This raper
machine will be loaned to paper mill
owners who desire 10 make thorough
and accurate tests of the merits OF
Bertram's patent eounomizer, an ap.
paratus which 10 now in successful
operation in many first. class paper
mills in Europe.
"This portable paper machine can
be easily transported to, and erected
in, any paper mill, and the material
which may be saved by the economizer
will pa run over the machine and
accurately weighed. Every pound Of
material collected by the pulp saver
will thus be brought to the attention
OF the Interested parties.
SIN this way the paper mill owner
can ascertain every day, or every hour,
the exact character and amount Of
stock and clay being saved by the
economizer, and arrive at correct
conclusion as to tho value OF the ap-
paratus to him. Having ascertained
the number of pounds of material
which the apparatus will recover from
tho Howage of the water from the paper
machine 1t will be an easy matter to
mako an estimate of its worth and
value to the mill owner"

That the figures of speech used

The verbal caricatures drawn on u

The vote of the Presbyteries Of the
country on the question of the revision
OF the Confession of Faith is as follows:
For revision only, 30: declaratory state
ment, 9; supplemental creed, 30; sub
stitute creed, 5; revision and supple
mental creed. 10; dismissal of the
whole subject, 80; total number of
Presbyteries voting, ITO.
There are %! PresbYteries, including
q in foreign lands, most of which will
not vote in time for the report Of the
committee, and there are eight or ten
Presbyteries, among the number being
Alaska and Cape Fear, which have
only one meeting during the year, in
the spring. A report will be presented
by the committee to the General As
sembly which will meet in this city
next May with recommendations The
votes of two thirds Of the Presbyteries
will be necessary for the Assembly to
send down any overtures on the subject.
Among those voting for revision are !:
Omaha. New Castle, Denver, Peoria.
Springfield, New Albany, Dayton and
Louisville. They desire as rule modi-
fcation of certain expressions, such as
" Elect infants dying in infancy. " They
ask to have this phrase changed so as
to read: "Infants dying in infancy are
included in the election of grace. /" The
majority of these Presbyteries ask that
the revision be along the lines of the
reports submitted by the Revision
Committee. Several Piesbyteries do not
desire to do anything with the Con-
fession but simply to add to the Con-
fession brief statement of Calyinistic
doctrine in simple language.
The following five Pres by teries voted
for substitute creed: Rochester,
Grand Rapids, Washington, d. c.,
Topeka and Oakland. Their desire is
to have the confession set one side, and
to use the new creed for the subscrip-
tion of ministers and other church
officers. The Presbyteries desiring a
dismissal of the whole subject express
themselves as satisfied with things as
they now are.

Hon. John Sherman, whose death
occurred Monday, was an intense par
tisan. But he was absolutely opposed
to the policy of the Mckinley admins
tration with respect to the Philippines.
In letter to the New York World
written on August 3lst, 1898, he said !:
In response to your request express
my well-oonsidered opinion that the
United States ought not to accept SOW
ereignty over the Philippines, but
should secure the inherent right Of the
people of those islands to form and
maintain a republican government sim
mllar to our own.
But the Mckinley administration in
sists upon making these islands q
colonial possession and its people SUBJ
jects, not citizens; subjected to taxa
tion without representation. And it
was against this unjust principle that
the people of the American colonies
rebelled in 1776.

Cleveland Not for mckinley.

A dispatch from Princeton says that
ex.PresidenJ Grover Cleveland, in an
interview regarding the report that he
would support MCKINLEY, said:
= am not aware OF having made any
statement that would justify the as
sertion that am going to support Mr..
Mckinley"
The interview was obtained at tho
ex-President's home, in Princeton. Mr..
Cleveland, for personal reasons and for
his own peace of mind, does not care
to enter into the strife of the political
campaign. His views on the financial
question are parallel with those enter
tanned by thousands of Democrats who
are this year supporting Mr.. Bryan on
the issues Of Imperialism and the trusts
feeling that those issues are paramount.
The ex-President received letter
from the West short time ago asking
II he had changed his views on the
financial question. or course, his rely
was that he had cot. He says his
letter OF reply was industriously cir.
culated by the Republican press and its
meaning has been distorted into a sup
port of the administration and Mr.. Nc
Kinley. Mr.. Cleveland docs not care
to have any of his political friends put
such construction on the letter and
makes 1t clear that his financial views
were not to be taken as support of
the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Cleveland firmly declined to be
drawn into political controversy. He
is explicit in his denial that any state
ment made by him should have given
any encouragement to the supposition
that he is in support of President Nc
kinley and the Republican administra-
tion. Mr. Cleveland is in political re.
tirement and he is not at odds with his
old political friends. He DIES not care
to take an active part In the turmoil of
the campaign. Like many other Demo-
Gratis this year, he will probably take
to the woods.''

LECTURE AT HIGH SCHOOL.

A large audience assembled Tuesday
night in the High School assemblyroom
TO bear Prof. John De Motto OF Bryn
Mawr College lecture on 1.-THE Harp of
the Senses, or the Secret of Character
Building" Tho lecture was under the
auspices OF the Primary Teachers As
sociation and tho speaker was intro
duced by Miss Mary O. /. Williams,
the president of the association.
Prof. De Motto began by remarking,
:" do not see you and you do not zee
mo. We Look into each others faces,
We sos each other outwardly, yet we do
not know each other. True affection
is between souls, not bodies. He then
showed by series Of experiments the
effects OF external impressions upon tho
senses. He played three movements
upon violin simple, moderate and
complicate-and showed on the screen
the forms in which these sounds move
the ether and strike the ear. The rro-
fessnr has invented complicated
mechanism, which shows 90 the screen
the fol IN which certain sounds cause
the ether to assume. The assistant
sang, whistled and talked monkey
language to show the forms which
these sounds cause the ether to take,
much to the amusement of the audience.
Monkeys do not use language as we use
it, their language is merely an emotional
cry. He then produced a number Of
sounds, from those causing 10 vibra
tions second, to some causing 40, 900
vibrations second, the latter arc in
car able of being heard by great many
people. The ohIrp Of cricket makes
10000 vibrations to second. That OF
a newly Matched chicken $4,000 and a
bats cry causes 30,0 waves.
Then appeared on the screen a harp
of the senses, showing its strings of
touch, of sight and of the roentgen
eyes, with q large unknown area of
sense which the future will reveal. The
lecturer also showed pictures OF the
frontal portions of the brain, the brain
with the nerve centres and the spinal
cord. From this he dwelt on reflex
action and automatic acts. He showed
that our characteristics and habits
come from using certain brain cells,
that if we would alter and better
characteristics and habits we must
tear down the old cells under conscious
direction and build up those desired.
Prof. De Motto said: Society is
kind to its daughters, but cruel TO its
sons The daughters are carefully pro-
tected from evil scenes and thoughts
because they are girls, while tho 6oys
are thrown among evil ways simply
because they are boys and lest they
become sissy In parting, l say,
conserve vitality, reverence the body.
Thoughts are deeds and may become
crimes. Obey and live. disobey and die. "
Prof. DE Motte's lecture was intensely
Interesting throughout, and his illus.
trntions were most apt. The audience
crowded the room ard was composed of
both teachers and others interested.
Miss Williams announced that the
Primary Teachers Association will pro-
vide eight additional lectures during
the season, to be given In Wollaston
School, Eighth and Wollaston streets.

That forestry, intelligently conducted,
is profitable has been demonstrated by
the experience of the New York State
College Of Forestry-ona of the allied
colleges which form Cornell University
with its Adirondack forest preserve.
The work during the past summer
gives reason to believe that the college
forest will be self-supporting for
number of years to come, even IL it
does not return small income on the
States investment.
The 80, 900 acres of timber land which
the State turned over to the college
two years ago had been we'll stripped of
valuable soft timber. Much hard wood,
which had never been marketable in
the Adirondacks, remained, and fur
nished the only chance of making tho
forest self-supporting, Prof. Bernard
E. Fernow succeeded in interesting a
manufacturer of slaves and wood
alcohol. and plant was erected on
Topper Lake, which is near the pre-
serve. As the hard woods would not
float down the streams which drain the
forest, arailroad six miles long is being
constructed.
A use has also been found for the
brushwood which abounds throughout
the Adirondacks. In the past it has
been PILED in heaps about the woods
and furnished constant source of
forest fires. Prof. Fernow has con-
structed a machine which cuts the
brushwnod into fagots and renders it
salable to charcoal burners. These
fagots can also be used in the manu-.
faoture OF wood alcohol.
