No advance In material conditions,
however, cnn change the need of strug-
gle against sin. the need Of effort for
individual overcoming and for social
service. The new comforts are too
often merely new temptations to self

they may increase our dangers, they
enlarge our opportunity. The power
Of the true disciple in gift and infiu-
ence never reached so far as 1t may

sources Of the new control of matter
are at the service of the church, and
all the powers OF knowledge throw
new light upon the work OF God. The

Resisting Power.

Doctors tell us, in these days OF
germ and toxins, that the thing that
counts most in case is the resisting
power" of the patient. Some men and
women can pass through an epidemic
or even be inoculated with its peculiar
poison germs and yet shake off infec-
tion, unharmed. Others apparently
just as healthy succumb to the first
contact with disease, and sink under
it in spite of the best nursing. "Re-
lsisting power is an individual affair,
and many surprises come to doctor
and nurses as the frail-looking patient
pulls through and the notwithstanding

STUDY OF EARTHQUAKES.
Various Instruments Have Been In
vented for Automatic Records
of Movements.

In paper on Earthquakes and Vol
canoes in Century, Mr.. James f. Kemp,
professor of geology in Columbia uni
versity, writes as follows of this pro-
gressive department of science:
Earthquakes come suddenly, and
people are apt to be so agitated as to
be poor observers. They are unable
to determine the directions and in
tensities of the motions. Various in
struments have therefore been in
vented to accomplish this. The sim
pier ones consist of a series of cylin-
ders or blocks in rows at right an
giles to each other, which, having bases
of different sizes, will be upset by
shocks of different intensity, and by
the direction of their fall in bed of
soft sand give a clew to the motion.
Liquids, especially quicksilver, in ba-
sins with holes at various heights
will wash up and down in particular
directions, will spill through particu-
lar holes, and thus give indications.
Pendulums may be set swinging in diff
ferent planes. and so on; one may read
lily appreSand the scope of these de-
vices. Z,
"In morexerious attempt the great
objects are to obtain first records of
motion in three planes at right angles
to one another; second records of the
intensity of the shock, and, third, of
the exact time Of beginning and clos.
ing. If one or more instruments can
be constructed having a heavy weight
so supported that It will remain reia-
lively unmoved while recording plates
rub against its projecting pencils, and
If it is connected with a clock by some
electric or other attachment, all the
main objects may be approximately OBJ
tanned. These are general principles
of seismographs; and by heavy pen
dulums, by inverted pendulums, by
brackets at right angles, and by in
genious record-diagrams which them
selves may move by clockwork very
good data may have been secured.
They all show that the movements of
any particle of the earth are exceed
ingly complex and difficult to follow.
There was no automatic seismo-
graph in eastern North America at the
close of the Charleston shock, but since
then a number have been established.
Earthquakes have been especially
studied in Japan and Italy. In the
former country there Is seismolog-
ical society, with proceedings which
now fill several volumes"

Naturally, Mrs. Mack takes a keen in

as a member of the entertainment
committee OF the board of women
managers OF the Pan-American ex-
position makes her well fitted to serve
on the New York state commission to
the worlds fair of 1904. From the
inception of the exposition movement
Mrs. Mack has shown a marked inter-

NEBO NOTES.

Tobacco cutting has begun and the
crop is being rapidly housed, and
while the acreage is below the aver
age, yet the crop is by no means a
failure and there will be great deal
of good tobacco.
Money was raised in Nebo for the
purpose of finding how far it is to
coal in our town. Machinery was
put in place and the work began
Monday morning and Will be pushed
forward as soon as possible. There
is strong talk of organizing mining
company to sink a shaft at this
place; whether successful or not re-
mains to be seen. There is a class
of people that will not invest dol
lar in any enterprise unless they
know they can make two dollars for
every one invested, and they want
the two dollars first and they are op-
posed to everything in the shape of
progress.

CONDUCTOR KNOCKED
FROM CAR WITH BRICK
Bertrand Bonham Injured
on Seventh Street Line.
Assailants Believed to Be Three Negroes
Who Had Trouble With
Another Employe.

Bertrand Bonham, twenty-eigh years
DID, a conductor on the Seventh Street
car line, was struck on the head with a
brick about II o'clock last night. as his
car was passing the corner of Twelfth
and u Streets northwest. His assailant
is unknown, but is believed to be one of
three colored men who had trouble with
another conductor on the Seventh Street
line an hour before Bpnham was struck.
Earlier in the evening three negroes
boarded car at Seventh Street and
Maryland Avenue southwest, and created
disturbances all along the line. Several
times the conductor threatened to put
left the car at Eleventh and U Streets
they said the conductor would get all
that was coming to him. 1t is believed
they laid in wait for the return Of the
car, and, mistaking Bonham for the con-
ductor with whom they had trouble,
opened fusillade of stones and bricks.
Fortunately only one brick reached its
mark. The brick struck Bonham's cap
and the steel plate on which his number
is stamped was bent.
Bonharn received stunning blow and
fell from the car in a dazed condition.
He was picked up by the passengers and
sent to Freedman's Hospital. An ex-
animation showed that the skull had
not been fractured; neither was there
any laceration of the scalp. He es-
capped serious injury by reason rof the
stiffening of his cap. He carries
huge bump where the brick struck him.
After having his head dressed the in
jured man went to his home, Ills Robi-
son Street southwest.
The police of the Eighth precinct are
the affair. but up to late
hour last night no arrests had been
made.
