If the crowds who assembled in the
church had expected to hear a sensa-

no notice from the minister. His ser
mon was devoted entirely to religious
topics. Reading his notes, he spoke in

There were no Oratorical f1ourishes, few
figures of speech and no attempt to inn
press the congregation by the manner
in which the sermon was delivered

maintained his voice at the same pitch

New STYLE Oil Burner Invented

Capt George W. Prescott. formerly
superintendent Of machinery in san
Bernardino, now a Highland rancher,
mas invented a new oil burning appa-
ratus which is being given a trial by
the Santa F'e. Two of the new at
tachments are completed and are being
tried on engines Nos. 467 and 707- The
engineers who have worked them are
quite well pleased and the new plan
may be adopted. The advantages
claimed for the new heater are that
the oil can be heated in the burner in
stead of In the tank, and the f1re-bo
can be cleaned by simply pulling a
lever which throws up a wedge in the
