DR.. Gray began the Forward Move
ment In 1894. He had been field secre-
tary in the Freedmens Aid work of the
Methodist Church and general secre-
tary for the American University. In
his visits to the great cities he was i'm
pressed with the need of doing some
thing for the poor children In the
crowded districts that they might have
n fairer start in the struggle for life
When he began his work In Chicago
benevolent sympathzers came to his
aid with voluntary subscriptions, and
the work has grown steadily, until now
an average Of 5000 persons per month
visit the quarters on Van Buren, street
at the head of the old Chicago Bowery
The new buildings will be able to carr

summer hundreds of children are giveL
outings to park on Lake Michigan
where they frolic for one or two weeks
The doctor and those who are interest
ed in his good work are enthusiastic
over the results thus far and desire to
see it extended to all the larger cities
Of the country.

l want to say at the start that what
happened to me shows clearly that lots
of people suffering from immersion are
allowed to die when they could be re-
suscitated. If it had not been for the
energy and hopefulness of DR.. Barney

CARLYLE AND DISRAEll.
How the Statesman Disarmed the
Philosophers Prejudice.


Magnamimity superior to his own
could shame even the dogmatic Car
lyle The man whose arrogance of opin-
ion never permitted him to take any
thing back once had to confess that
Jew had disarmed his bigotry and
changed his insulting prejudice into
gratitude and respect.
Dlsraeli, whom he had often reviled
In speech and in print, had every reason
to know how bitterly Carlyle despised
him and his race; and after he had be-
come the most powerful man In En-
gland he took his revenge. 1t was the
vengeance inflicted by great man who
could forget his personal antipathies
upon great man who could not.
Recognizing the commanding intel
lect of the surly philosopher and the
luster it conferred upon his country,
the prime minister offered him the
knighthood of the Grand Cross of the
Order of the Bath, and the good fel-
lowship" pension once accepted and en-
,joyed by DR.. Samuel Johnson and also
by the poet SOulney.
Carlyle declined the title as being out
of keeping with the tenor of his poor
existence" and the pension because he
was not In needy circumstances; but
the fact Of the offer and the generous
language in which 1t was conveyed,
startled and subdued him. He wrote
frankly to Disraeli:
ALLOW me to say that the letter, both
in purpose and expression, Is worthy to
be called magnanimous and noble; that
it is without example In my own poor
history, and l think 1t Is unexampled,
too, In the history Of governing persons
toward men of letters at the present
or at any time; and that will carefully
preserve 1t as one Of the things precious
to memory and heart"
Subsequently he wrote to his friend,
the Countess Of Derby:
"Mr. Disraeli's letter Is really what /
called 1t, magnanimous and noble on his
part. 1t reveals to me, after all the
hard things l have said of him, a new
and unexpected stratum of genial dig
nifty and manliness of character which
l had by no means given him credit for.
1t is, as my penltent heart admonishes
me- kind of 'heaping Goals Of fire on
my head and l do truly repent and
promise to amend"
One needs no better evidence of the
real greatness of Carlyle than the
promptness with which he recognized
this magnanimlty, and the manliness
with which he acknowledged It.

The heart wood of tree has ceased
to take any part in the vegetatiye econ
oiny of the tree. Its only use Is to
strengthen the trunk.
An English photographer has devised
a scheme for making birds take their
own photograph. A bait of fat is
placed on an electric wire which Is so
connected with camera that when
the bait is removed the camera shut
ter is released giving an instantaneous
exposure of the sensitive plate.
Under the auspices of the Institute of
France further researches are being
made in the famous grottoes of Men
tone, on the Riviera, where bones and
other remains of prehistoric men have
at various times been found. Lately
three entire skeletons have been dis
covered.
The brain of the ant has been the in
teresting subject of recent study by
Prof. Forel, the Swiss zoologist. This
organ is well developed in the workers,
smaller In the females and merely rudi-
mentary in the males. The insects have
the senses of sight, smell, touch and
taste, hearing being doubtful. The ants
are endowed with memory and reason
ing powers, and in their warfare it is
easy to see their courage, their despair,
sonal hatreds.
G. A. Witchell, an English naturalist,
says the speed of flight of birds is often
greatly overrated. The swift, for In
stance, has been credited with a speed
of 100 miles per hour, and the popular
Imagination compares the fight of a
sparrow-hawk with that of cannon
BALL Independent of aid from the
wind, Mr.. Witchell thinks, forty miles
an hour Is about the full speed of a
GOOD pigeon flying long distance, The
homing pigeon can be relied on, under
fairly easy conditions, to make sixty
miles an hour, or considerably more.
On short course sparrow-hawk can
outfiy homer. But the sparrow hawk
frequently fails to catch smaller birds
that form its prey. o

over two and half feet thick, consists
Of rubbish recognizable by the charac-
ter of its fragments as belonging to the
period from the fourteenth to the six
teenth century. This Is separated from
the first layer by thin deposit of sand,
and second sandy deposit covers the
third layer, which plainly shows relics
of the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
At the bottom is clayey deposit filled
with fragments of pottery and bits Of
oak timber belonging to the Gallo and
Gallo Roman periods.

Since the Civil War Admiral Bunce
had been assigned to duty at the Bos-
ton, Washington and Brooklyn navy
yards and on torpedo inspection. He
was president of the naval college ut
Newport for two years, succeeding
Captain Mahan. In February, 1898, he
was made rear admiral, and In Decem-
Der Of the same year was placed on the
retired list.
In appearance Admiral Bunce was
the typical commanding officer, being
over six feet In height, and splendidly
proportioned. AS Il young man, 1t Is

the navy. His temperament was genial.

was neither harsh nor severe He was
