THE RED SEA MIRACLE.

GeoIogIst at OberlIn College Verihes .
Biblical Account.
Prof. Frederick Wright, the geolo-
glst Of Oberlin College, Oh0rhas Just
returned from a scientifSfr 3around
the world with data which ! claims
will prove that the Biblical account
Of the escape Of the children Of Israel
from Egypt through the Red Sea is
literally true. The Oberlin professor
has brought with him photographs
which demonstrate that it was possible
at the time OF Moses, and is possible
under certain conditions at this day,
for any number OF people to cross the
waters referred to. His investigation,
he says, proves that the crossing place
is about twenty miles from the gen.
orally accepted place. The professor
should be careful not to prove too
much. The human value Of the story
Of the crossing Of the Red sea de-
ponds upon the preservation Of the
miraculous character Of the crossing.
The Bible gives us 10 understand that
the waters Of the Red Sea parted to
permit Gods chosen people to cross,
and closed in against their p%ursuers.
But If Moses simply discovered a point
in the sea at which a crossing could
be effected, without a suspension Of
natural laws, the much-discussed Bib
lical story loses it's peculiar signih-
canoe. Skeptics have asserted that the
crossing was effected when the tide
was low. Moses. they claim, was for
tunate in reaching the point just as
the ebb was turning to a flow. This
explanation is not only irreligious, but
improbable. It carries with it the
idea thst Moses had not only been
miraculousiy derelict in respect to To-
cality, but in respect to time. The
Oherlin professor proposes to prove
that the miraculous crossing the Bible
records was an actual occurrence by
demonstrating that it may be done
without miraculous Intervention at the
present time.-Ssa Francisco Bulletin.

One Of the latest war devices is an
armored motor car designed by an En-
giish engineering firm. It is intended
for use in the time of war in protect
ing railways, and during peace to
serve as a pilot for ordinary trains,
for inspecting the road, or for the
sending Of dispatches. The car is
PROPELLED by a seven horsepower wa
t~er-eColed motor, which Is entirely
automatic in action. It produces it's

started in a minute. and is fed either
by petrol OF ordinary petroleum.

After trudging laboriously over the

visiting Alaska placed him at great
advantage over the ordinary prospect

produce thirty per cent. more gold this
year than last, and the increase will
continue for two or three years. After
that time there viii be a slump, as the
richer streaks Of the leading placer
deposits win be worked over and the
period Of lode mining win be reached.

INTOXICATED THROUGH SMELL

Among the peasants of southern
Italy, Sicily and Sardinia, a curious
malady has been noticed by physicians
which is caused by eating beans. One
Of the most remarkable effects of the
malady Is a species of intoxication re-
sembling that produced by alcoholic
drink. In some cases persons predis-
posed to the malady are seized with
the symptoms Of intoxicatlon If they
pass a field where the bean-plant is in
flower, the odor alone suihcing to at

CANADA.s NICKEL PRODUCTION.

Although nickel was not discovered
in paying quantities in Canada until
1887, it is said that that country o
produces 40 per cent Of the worlds
supply Of nickel. The deposits Of the
metal are in a district near Sudbury
in Ontario, covering an area Of about
70 miles by 40. The ore contains about
three per cent Of nickel and about an
equal quantity Of copper, together with
considerable iron and sulphur. The
nickel and copper are not extracted in
Canada, but in the United States. One
mine has already reached a depth Of
1,100 feet.

chief Of which seems to be that the
reel does not project from the side
Of the pole to prevent packing in small
compass. Then the winding mechan-
ism is operated by r-eciprocating the
casting instead Of turning a small
crank, and the inventor claims i'm
provements also in the drag and line
laying mechanism. The reel proper is
mounted on a rod passing ~lengthwise
through the reel and is revolved by a
system Of gearing at n end Of the
casing, the train Of gears being in
turn actuated by the reciprocating mo-
ton impaired to the reel casing by the
hand. The line enters the casing at
the end and is guided In winding on
the spool by a sliding eyelet. which
prevents kinks in the line when it is
desired to pay it out rapidly. AS the
reel forms a part of the pole, It Is not
necessary to detach 1t and pack 1t
away by itself when the days sport is
ended.

two parasitic under and upper parts
the latter being Of a crinOline shape.
The under part of the armor, protect
ing the machinery, is constructed Of
heavy nickel-steel plates. Owing to
the great care in the design and the
construction having been used the car
runs almost silently and without vi

even while travelling at a high speed.
Sumcient room has been allowed for
about 10000 rounds for the ordinary

II Is generally believed that Robert
Raikes is the father Of Sunday
schools. but the people on Savannah
say that John Wesley anticipated him
by more than forty-four years. Robert
Raikes was n printer I'm Gloucester,
England, and i'm 1880 began to gather
ragged street urchlns about him and
teach them the catechism and tell
them stories OF the Scriptures. In
May, 1876, John Wesley organised a
Sunday school for children In Savan-
nah and taught them the Bible and the
c%atechism. He was assisted by a Mo
ravian gentleman named Delamotta.
The location Of Mr.. Wesley's Sunday
school is not positively known, but the
antiquarians of Savannah agree that
it must have been at the corner Of Bull
street and Bay lane, where the Gus
toms house now stands.-William 10.

Awoman is sick-some disease peculiar to her sex is fast
developing in her system. She goes to her family physician
and tells him a story, but not the whole story.
She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agi-
tated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and this completely mystides
the doctor.
Is it a wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the
diseaseP Still we cannot blame the woman, for til is very en-
barrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering,
even to her family physician. This is the reason why
hundreds of thousands of women are now in CORE
sDOndence with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To
her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready
to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her
correspondence with the patient than the physician can
possibly obtain through a personal interview.
Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the
result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. All such
letters are considered absolutely confidential by
Mrs. Pinkham, and are never published, in any way, or
manner without the consent in writing of the patient but
hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs.
Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them
write asking that this be done in order that other women
who suffer may be benefited by their experience.

committee was selected to make arrange
aments for the Farmers Institute meeting
to be held in this city on January 18th
and l9tn: II. G. Carr, r. A. Wardwell,
Nv. c. Short. F. A.. Hart.
Il Considerable discussion was had and
the feeling of the meeting was that every
thing should be done that was possible
to make the attendance large, the meet
ing interesting and warm welcome
given to those who attend. A general
invitation is therefore extended to all,
including ladies, by the committee in be-
half OF the citizens of Pembina.
In addition to the general program,
questions may be asked and general
discussion free to anyone present will be
had, and additions to the regular pro-
gram will be made as time and oppor-
tunity may allow.
Pembina has three good hotels. Rates
will be reasonable, and if the crowd is
too great for the hotels the citizens will
open their houses. Along the line Of the
N. T. farmers can take the morning train
on Friday arriving here at IL O'clock a.
m. and returning ty the afternoon train
on Saturday, leaving Pembina at 4
O'Clock p. m. This will take in all the
sessions of the institute.
