CHINESE FIRE CLOCK,
two or three palms in diameter. Their
combustion then lasted several days.
and sometimes even 4 month or more.
They were suspended by the center
and were ignited at the lower extrem-
ity. The fire then assembled slowly and
insensibly in following all the spirals.
Five marks made upon these spirals
served to indicate the five parts OF the
night.
This method of measuring time was.
it is said, SO exact that no error of any
moment was detected. It is curious.
says "La Nature" to compare this
Chinese device with that employed in
Europe in the middle ages. The dura-
ton Of lighted candles or tapers also
served them to mark the time Of night.
These candles were graduated just as
the Chinese graduated their rods or
cords.
The Chinese rods and cords spoken
Of above, while given the time. also
served as alarms. When a Chinese
wished to rise at night at q given hour,
he suspended a small weight Of metal
very exactly at the place in the rod or
cord which the fire was to reach at
the hour specified. The moment hav-
ing arrived, the weight fell into a cop
per basin, and the noise Of its fall was
loud enough to awaken the sleeper.
This method was as SIMPLE as it was
economical, for a rod or a cord, the
combustion Of which lasted a day and
night, cost but three ~farthings.

not be lost upon those who hear, nor
will its influence be powerless upon
him who bestows it. A cultivation Of
the thanksgiving habit will make to
grow the sense of appreciation, and
as a result our spirits will be sweet
ened, our souls enlarged and the whole
horizon of life beautif1ed. Then the
ordinary affairs of life will neve more
be commonplace; our conditions and
surroundings will always appear in q
fresh light. This is significant. The
man whose family find in him a source
of endless delight and joy is one who
does not suffer the common relation
ships and the daily intercourse to be-
come colorless and arid. Such a man
keeps love alive by cultivating the
sentiment of affection. His face. his
voice. his deed, makes the cd courses
of life brim and sparkle with a full
current of tenderness and feeling. So
it is again with the great artist who
sees the common in an uncommon
light and clothes the most ordinary
objects with beauty and charm. In
like manner the religious nature dis
closes its presence by the unfailing
freshness of it's feeling for all rela-
tons and seasons and customs and
days. It numbers its blessings daily,
and daily does 1t express gratitude be-
cause it feels deeply and gladly the
weight Of its vast Indebtedness. The
wears may differ greatly in the COM
forts and blessings they bring. but
Gods unbroken beneficence knows no
divisions Of time. His bounty is an
unbroken eternity. All years, how
ever hard in the experiences they
bring, are years Of ~blessedness; It
should be ours to receive what God
sends and to be constantly thankful.
We should thank him who has made
us and preserved us as a nation.
Who revealed this continent when
the proper time had come, and called
to its shores faithful and Cody men
who believed in Him and in men as
His children.
Who preserved the national seeds
planted in our colonies and united
them for liberty and independence.
Who made our young nation wise In
counsel and strong in defense.
Who pacified the strifes and eradi.
Gated the ~jealcus;es that separated
our states and Joined them anew in
one indissoluble union.
Who has given us the wisdom to es-
tablish free schools and free churches,
and has given us brave hearted and
clear headed men to sacrifice and toll
for the public virtue and peace.
Who has given us an open Bible, a
risen Christ. q loving church and a
redeeming God.
Who crowneth this year of grace
with His bountiful goodness.
oh. that men would praise the Lord
for His goodness and His wonderful
works to the children Of men!

OIL ENGINES IN PALESTINE.
To what extent the unitarian spirit
is growing in what one Is disposed to
consider as the dream lands of the
Far East is shown by the recently
made statement that oil engines are
now used in numbers in Palestine for
pumping water from wells. The first
attempt at introducing the engines
there for that purpose is said to have
been made about three years ago by
a German firm, the engines being
small ones Of three or four horse
power. At first 20 one would try them,
but finally the agent Of the firm in
question volunteered in n case to set
up an engine. free Of expense by way OF

the placing Of several orders for more.
Since then about sixty oil engines
have been set up in different places,

SOME CAUsEs FoR CATARRH.

SOME CAUSES FOR CATARRH.
BY the rather indefinite term ''ca-
tarrh" we mean to include certain
common infammations of the nose,
throat and ear. The portion of the re-
gions affected is. in each case, the mu-
cous membrane lining, them. This
protective covering Of the interior OF
these structures is not only of the same
in each, but it is also. by means of
various connecting orifces, continu-
GUS.
This close union or connection re-
suits in a common association of dis
ease affecting these various parts. 1t
is a frequent experience for individ-
uals to suffer with q cartarrh OF the
nos or throat in varying degree Of se-
verify for months or years, when sud-
5denly or gradually, a similar disease
of the ear may be added, resulting
in impairment Of the hearing, tinnitus.
or ringing in the cars, and less COM
monty pain in the same region.
It may be said that the majority Of
cases of impairment Of hearing devel-
oping after youth are due to the ag-
gravated extension Of a long-standing
throat or nos trouble. which has
gradually involved the ear by reason
of the unfavorable effect upon the lat
ter of the diseased condition in the
adjacent structures, or by direct ex-
tension Of the disease Of the a along
the Eustachian tube-the tube-like or
ifice connecting the a with the throat
and nose.
AS to preventing the occurrence of
this much-to-be-dreaded result, it is
plain that this must, for the most part,
consist in preventing aggravations OF
ar already existing catarrh in the nose
Or throat.
Actual obstruction in either Of these
organs Is only amenable to the sur
gical skill, Of the physician. OnNthe
other hand, much can be done by the
individual himself when the catarrhal
condition has not arrived at the stage
Of obstruction, and likewise to pre-
vent recurrence Of the attacks when
: the normal method'o nasal breathing
has been re-establisned.

HOW THE EYE SEES IN READING.
BY close study Of familiar things.
surprising facts about them often come
to light. Professor Dodge, Of Wesley
an University, by q number Of careful
experiments, has made a strange dis
covery. He declares that to see. the
eye must be motionless. Now that he
has tod us, 1t is easy to understand
that this must be true. You cannot
tske pictures with a moving camera,
and the eye is only a perpetual cam
era with .self-renewing plates. The
eye must stop motion while It takes
a picture.
threading. therefore. the eye does
not move along the lines regularly. It
takes an impression, moves to a new
position, takes another still view, then
moves again. thus the words are Ia
ken by groups. Perhaps. following
Professor Dodge's lead. some other
clever experimenter will nov tell us
just how wide the lines Of print should
be for the easiest reading. Every one
knows that very long or very short
lines are firing, so there must be q
right length. When the proper me-
dunn is found, the chances are that we
shall learn that the "old masters" Of
the printing art had chosen the best
width for their pages.
