PRACTICAL WORK DISCUSSED
TO-day's Speakers Presented COndi-
tiOns In the Home Field.

IO=OaEB speakers presented OOnuA-
tiOns I'm the Home Field.
This mornings session Of the G. w. B..
NJ opened with a song and devotional
service, Charles A. Young of Illinois de-
livering the invocation. At the opening
the attendance was not so large as on the
previous day, but the hall filled up grad
ually, late arrivals taking seats in the
rear.
The Bible study Of the morning was
conducted by w. c. Payne, who holds the
Bible chair at the University Of Kansas.
Mr. Payne spoke of the first epistle to
the Corinthians, and began by sketching
briefly the characteristics of the city Of
Corinth, neither Greek nor Roman but
Corinthian, city unique among the first
century metropoli. The thought which
Mr.. Payne brought out most forcibly was
Pauls exhortation to the Corinthians to
be all Of one mind, his depreciation Of
creed distinctions, such as exist at pres
ent. The study closed with prayer.
The audience then joined in singing, fol-
lowing which Mrs. Judson of indianapolis,
offered prayer for the success of mis-
sion work undertaken by the woman s
board both at home and in the foreign
field.
Work I'm the Home Field.
Mrs. f. 2. Arthur OF Michigan was in
troduced and read the report of the com
mittee on "Evangelistic Work in the
Home Fields" The report congratulated
the board on the wisdom with which
money had been expended during the past
year, and made the following recommen-
dations:

equally in the expenditure Of board funds

THE BRIGANDS HAVE FLED
SOME NEW DEMAND LOOKED FOR
Miss stones CaptOrs Will Not Use
Violence Unless Compelled
by Pursuit.

ConstantinQple, Oct. 12.-People versed
In bandit tactics presume that the cap
tors of Miss Stone, being we'll informed,
have fled owing to the publicity given to
the conditions Of ransom, and expect the
brigands will shortly send a new demand
from some unexpected quarter. Nobody
fears that Miss Stones life is. at present
endangered, as the brigands desire ran
som, and will not resort to extreme meas
ures unless compelled by pursuit. The
American officials will not divulge the
plan of action they have arranged, but
admit their intense anxiety.

APPREHENSIVE
Our Government Opposes Attack Up
ON Brigands.

ON BrigAnds.
Washington, Oct. 12.-Fears even deep
er than those hitherto entertained are
felt for Miss Stone, the American mis-
sionary held captive by Bulgarian brig
ands.
That the brlgands appreciate the dan
gerous situation in which they have found
themselves is shown by their return in
to Turkish territory, official informa-
tion of which has been received by the
state department. It is believed here
that the brigands are moving from place
to place along the boundary line seeking
refuge first in Bulgarian and then in Tur-
kish territory.
To both governments the United States
Is making the most urgent representa-
tions not to authorize an attack. Only
by fair dealing, in the opinion of this
government, can Miss Stone be rescued.
After careful consideration of the mat
ter the authorities decided that the wisest
plan is to ransom Miss Stone. Once
she is released and actually safe, then
the Bulgarian or Turkish governments
will be urged to relieve their country from
the disgrace of brigandage.

Washington, D. c., Oct. IA dispatch
from Washington says the postofice de-
partment officials fear that they will moi
be able to put automobile mail wagon
service in operation in Minneapolis. The
time for the reception Of proposals ex-

with the automobile companies who VIII
not give the bond required by law for

There is evidently some mistake as at
least one proposal has been made accom-
panied by surety company bond.

BRILLIANT TREES
Inquiry Into the Cause of the Changes
 in the Color of the Leaves.

Inquiry Into the Cause of the Changes
 in the Color of the Leaves.
 The question, What produces the color in autumn leaves?" is a season able one. Popular belief has been that the brilliant hues are in some way due to the effect of frost. Albert F. Woods, the physiologist of the United States bureau of plant indus try, has made a scientific examination of the problem. He says that light frosts. not sufficient to kill leaves, greatly facilitate their coloration by causing .an increase within them of a normal chemical ferment, which at tacks the color compounds or color generators ill the cells. It is the oxi- dation of these color compounds by the ferment, he asserts. that produces the various shades of color. especially the purples, oranges, etc. The yellows, he says, are normally present in the leaf.
 The conclusions of Dr Woods, how ever, do not justify the popular as- sumption that the gorgeous autumn hues of American forests. are the di- rect result of frost. The primary principle which he lays down seems to be that all the colors of which par ticular leaf is capable are in the leaf as it hangs upon the tree in summer, and that it is the withdrawal of some of the elementary colors that trans forms the leaf to it's autumn hue. He says:
 Autumn leaves containing sugar, such as the naples, sumachs, gums, etc, easily oxodize, and thus form the rich reds, purples and violets so beau tiful to the eye. That is why these, especially the hard naples, give the most beautiful autumn leaves. Au- tumnal oak leaves do not attract ad- miration, because they contain much tannin. The oxidation color of tannic acid is dirty brown. Leaves which die quickly never give autumnal colors. The most gorgeous autumnal leaves are produced by longdrawn-out fall, whose days gradually cool from sum mer heat to winter snow. But if the frost should come early and the weath- CT should be uneven. we need not ex- pect the true autumnal splendors. A HedFy. Suuu0u duu elflV ITOSL Woulu kill all leaves alike. and turn them to a monotonous brown"
 Laymen who have puzzled over the phenomenon and endeavored to ac- count for it. and who have been mysti- | fled by occurrences not in accordance with their theories. will find that this explanation of Dr Woods is reconcil- able with the facts that have fallen under their observation. and will. therefore, be likely to give it credence. Tt is of general interest as the latest l word of science on the subject of au- tlmn leaves M Milwaukee Wisconsin.

HEART BEATS OF, A LIFETIME.

Did you eyer take the trouble to figure out how many times the normal heart would futter in life time?' the young statistician inquired of a friend. Well the subject cannot be treated with absolute accuracy, but one may make good guess at it. All hearts do not beat at the same rate of speed, and there are lapses even in the
 rate of speed at which the normal heart fiutters. Shocks and undue ex- citement will frequently either sup press morhentarily the hearts activi- ties or produce the opposite effect in a quickened rate of speed, an excited, cratic sort of fiuttering generally re ferred to as palpitation. However the wise men who have burnt much oil in studying this important organ in it's
 relation to the human system have de- cided that the normal heart will beat 72 times every minute. Frequently the heart of an apparently well person will fiutter 100 times minuue, and 1t some times happens that heart will fall be- low the normal But 72 is the normal agreed upon and we may take this as a basis of computation. If a heart beats 72 times every minute in the course of one hour. it will beat 4.32O times. During one dav or twenty-four hours, it will f1utter 103.G80 times, as suming that there are no lapses and no activities above the normal. At this rate of speed the heart will beat 725,- 76O times during one week, or seven

turbing legislation need be expected from this congress, and President Roosevelt is likely to be much more conservative in office than on the stump. Our exports in October were unusually heavy, although showing loss of ST, 100000 compared with the same period in 1900. which was one or the record breakers. Our imports also showed an increase of $1O,S00OO0, so that we had a trade balance of only S64, 100000 against $92. 100000 in Oc- tober last year. The decrease last month was chiefly owing to the back ward movement in cotton, which will of course be made up later. Never theless, the frequency of smaller eX- ports and smaller trade balances is suggestive, even if due to depression abroad rather than reaction at home. Though we are growing in strength we cannot escape the touch of foreign waves of depression. Last weeks advances and subsequent declines were principally due to professional operations. The public are not just now ready buyers and are not likely to be if the market is to be subjected to such rude shocks as that of Thurs day.

If a man should live to be 50 years of age his heart would beat 1892. 100000 times. If he lived to be 60 years old it mould beat 2,410,592, 900 times. If he should live to be q centenarian the heart would futter 3,7S4.32O.OOO times.
