How often on returning home late on a

red lights are kept burning, What lie,

would much longer be able to perform hi
duties, on which his good wife and hlmSc'l
depended for a livelihood, but As it hap

not thought so much about the size of
heaven. They have probably always
felt that there would be ample room
for those who would be able to get
there. II a lack OF room wee possible
in the divine order Of things, it would
probably be at the other place, judg-
ing from the announcements that are
made from time to time.
Room has never been matter Of
serious consideration with men who
have paused long enough in the whirl
of events to mediate on the blessings
which are to follow life of righteous
ness. The main question. and the one
in which all men are most concerned,
is the simple question of the shortest.
best and safest way. Put in different
language, they want to know how to
get there, and II the studious statis
tician will figure out some plan that
will meet with general satisfaction
along this line, he will probably
smooth out the burrows which now
mark the faces Of uneasy sinners.

Baden-Powells brain is never still.
His versatile nature is ever improvis-
ing and improving. The stern needs
of war have shown him many plans
to help cavalrymen in action, and one
of the most important is method to
hold horses in action from stampeding.
He has just been asked to submit his
plan to the War Office. The idea is
simplicity itself, and, seeing that 1t
allows every man to go into action, has
been favOrably received by the War
Office officials. The system Is that
of leaving the reins simply undonc
on the Offside of the horses bit, the
nearside being left fastened. The rein
is then fastened to the nearsidc stirrup
so rs to give just sufficient pulling
power OH the horses mouth to keep ii
moving in n small circle, if it is in
clined to move at all. In this way it
will be seen that all possibility of a
stampede is done away with, as the
horse cannot move in Il straight direc.

The good of money Is to get things

Stillwell Edwards, the Georgia novel

Mr.. Edwards decided to write story
in competition for a $4,000 prize Of

American story of mystery. Mr.. Ed
wards was a writer of Southern verse,
and of dialect stories OF that pictur-
esque people Of the South known as
Georgia Crackers.
He, surprised his friends by saying
that his wife had furnished splendid
plot or the tale Of mystery that he was
to offer. The couple went to work en-
Enthusiastically on the story, and it won
the first prize.
To the question, What will you do
with the money? the Edwardses said
not a word. Weeks passed. and the
curiosity of the townspeople was still
on edge. Then one day an express
wagon delivered twenty Grated bicycles
before the Edwards piazza.

As TO THE SIZE OF HEAVEN.
Biblical Assurance That There VIII he
Room for Years to Come.

Biblical Assurance That There VIII he
Room for Years to Come.
Taking verse from Revelation as
the basis of computation, some indus
trious and probably uneasy fellow has
again been figuring on the dimensions
Of heaven. The text is'in XIV, q, and
reads as follows: And he measured
the city with the reed, 10000 furlongs.
The length and the breadth and the
height Of it are equal" He concludes
that this represents space Of 469, 1884,
0SS 900, 900, 900 900 cubic feet. The en-
terprising statistician sets aside one
half of this space for the throne and
the court of heaven, and one-half OF
the balance for streets, which would
leave remainder Of 124, 1922 OOO,-
00O,00O,000 cubic feet.
He then proceeds to divide this by
1895, the number OF cubical feet in a
room 16 feet square, and this process
gives him 3O,321 .S43, $50 900 900 rooms
of the size indicated. He then proceeds
upon the hypothesis that the world
now contains. always has contained,
and will always contain. 990.OO0,O00 in
habitants, and that generation lasts
for SO 13 years, which gives total
number of inhabitants every century of
2,297 100000. He assumes that the
world will stand 1000 centuries or
100000 years, which would give to-
tai Of 100000, 900 900 inhabitants for
this period of time.
He then reaches the reassuring con-
clusion that II 100 worlds of the same
size and duration and containing the
same number OF inhabitants, should re-
deem all the inhabitants, there would
be more than 100 rooms of the size
indicated for each person. Men have

PEEPS INTO PERSIA.
Some of the Strange Sights Seen by
Traveller.

Traveller.
Sir Clements Il. Markham presided
over Il largely attended meeting of
members of the Royal Geographical So
cirly ut Burlington Gardens. when an
interesting paper, describing his fourth
journey in Persia, and illustrated by
lantern views, was read by Major T.
Wordsworth Sykes AS the journey
lasted three years and three months
and the paper was practically II diary
of the whole period, with notes on the
people and their country, nothing like
Il complete summary can he given.
Major Sykes was in the Government
about the frontier of Persia, and our
own sphere of influence in Buluchistan
Now he was engaged in pursuing the
bandit murdererS and helping to spread
the pax Britannica" now in survey
ing new trade routes and giving them
Il send-otr by organizing caravans of
Oriental carpets and silks: now in inl-
proving the postal and telegraph ser
vices. Much of the ground he covered
was on the route taken by Alexander
the Great and Major Sykes had been
able to identify many of the spots Wis
tied by that monarch. He also found
frequent relics of Rustum. the legend
airy hero of Persian romance. who was
so strong that when his enemies
started an avalanche down the noun
tain against him, he turned it aside
with his foot.
Many strange and weird sights We're
encountered by Major Sykes in his
travels in this little-known Eastern
land Once he saw on the barren coast
Of the Persian Gulf a place where some
subterranean sulphurous eruption had
so poisoned the water that the fish
had flung themselves out on the shore,
and pathway had to be made over
them or it would have been impossible
to land. He scaled great mountain
10000 feet high. where all was ice
till near the summit, when the ground
grew so hot as to burn the boots, and
was full of holes blowing off steam
and sulphur with II noise like Il huge
locomotive. He surveyed valleys full
of the ruins of ancient civilizations,
which had vanished because some
giant river had waywardly changed its
course In another mountain, named
Chinshk he entered winding cave
miles in length, guarded by deformcd
dwarf, and with skeletons in perfect
preservation ranged along gallery after
gallery. He passed through waterless
deserts of unbearable heat where the
wind will Obliterate the tracks in a
few minutes. The lecture and lantern
views showed in striking fashion what
important work is now being done to
render trade and travel safe and to
foster the production and exchange
of wealth where formerly all was given
up to robber bands and the pitilcss
desert.--LondOn News.
