ChicAE0A Novel Church.

Chicago is soon to have a novelty
in the way OF churches, if it may be
so called. At any rate, it will call
itself the Church Of Silent Demand.
1t is to be built by the Prentice Null
ford Club, which was organized 1Ast
year as the Auto Life Society. There
are 100 members who are convinced
Of the potency OF silent devotion and
concentrated thought energy and so in
the new church the sound Of prayer.
praise or preaching will never be
heard-only the music Of the organ.
Notices on the walls and at the doors
will enjoin silence. The church is to
be built in the downtown district so
that its peace and restfulness may be
available to as many people as pos
sible. 1t will be copied after one Of
the famous temples OF India It's in
terror will be as beautiful and sooth-
ing as art and skill can make it. It
will have many fine pictures and srow-
ing plants in abundance.

AIIGuT CAME FORTH.

A LIGHT CAME FORTH.
A light came forth from the heart OF
the west,
From the golden sea where our
dream ships are.
Where the Song OF Life from eve
ming star
Harps joy that to man hnds wings.
And | said to myself, these things be
best:
The amberous gleam and a silver
And white hand beckoning from
afar
Through nights velvet shadowings.
For the light came out from the heart
Of the west
'Tis mine, and no one may take it
away.
A radiant crown for the dullest day,
And sandals for Nredest hours.
And the fluttering hand from the Isles
Of the Blest
Awakens the chords OF my soul to
play
OF lily-sweet sound, till I sense the
sway
OF winds blowing unseen flow'rs.
So again to myself: These things be
best,
Red sunset glow and one twilight
star,
And a misty rift like broken spar
And Home, where my soul may sing
In the ieweled dusk to love dreams
that rest
Like birds nestbound; and the trem-
ulous bar
OF palpitant songs pulsating afar
To throbs Of nights outspread wing.

TIE HAD ANOTHER BROTHER,

Judge Grouse, Indian agent at
l.. J. Rice, related a story told him
at the fort. Some time ago an Of
ficer stationed at the fort shot and
killed friendly Apache. The officer
regretted the occurrence as deeply as
il the victim had been a white man.
A human being was human being to
him, whatever his color. Besides, he
feared that the Indians might not re-
gard the shooting as an accident and
serious trouble might ensue. The In
dian had a brother who came around
the fort threatening an outbreak. He
refused to accept the accident theory
and intimated the United States had
put its foot in it through the action Of
its military representative and had
Cancelled all the friendly relations
which had existed between the repub
lie and the Apaches. He hinted at tho
warpath and the desolated homes OF
white men.
The officer proceeded in the right
way to restore cordial entente. OF
course a brother could not be called
back out of the arms of death, but
there were other things in this world
which would take the wire edge of
grie;; for instance, ponies and guns
The bereft brother became interested,
and a settlement was soon reached
which had for it's basis horse and
saddle, a rife and lot of blankets.
The Indian returned later to receive
the property. 1t was turned over to
him according to the terms Of the
peace treaty. The officer threw in be-
sides a great lot of things the mourn
ing relative had not asked for. The
Indian packed the heunexpected gifts and
the blankets on the horse, and.
mounting. turned to the officer and
said: me got another brother"
which the officer understood to mean
not mere casual information about the
extent Of the family, but that the price
Of brothers would not be raised in the
case Of another accidental and fatal
shot.--Arizona Republican.

Very well. l will take it, she agreed

Thank fully he laid the coin in her

pitched the silver dollar far across the

aim was luckily accurate; the urchns
raised a yell Of exultation; and Miss

SOURCES OF CUTTA.PERcHA.
Efforts Now Making to Extend the Guilt.
vaton of This Useful Tree.

Two years ago Mr. Leonard Weller of
France sounded an alarm with regard
to the future supply Of s.rta-percha
This gum has been utilized for insulat-
ing purposes for over sixty yeArs and IS
considered a necessity for submarine
cables To obtain the gum the tree is
cut down, while trees and vines yield
ing India rubber need only to be tapped
and the plant yields again after recu-
peration. This is not the case with the
gutta-percha tree. About 6ooo 900 trees
have been killed for gutta-percha since
the gum became an article of export in
I845. OF late years many trees have
been cut before reaching maturity. Mr..
WELLER said the supply of the quality
of gutta-percha needed for submarine
cables would not last fifteen years longer
unless means were taken to protect the
forests or propagate the plants else
where.
The Malay Archipelago, Borneo and
Sumatra have always been the largest
sources of supply. Within the past two
years naturalists have been sent out from
France, England and Holland to make
studies of the conditions under which
the plant grows best and report upon the
best means of increasing the production.
Under the direction of these experts
France is now engaged in planting the
variety known as Isonandra gaftd, which
is regarded as the best quality of the
gum. A large number of the trees are
being planted in Reunion and Madagas-
car. 1t is believed that the conditions
under which the plant thrives are fully
realized in these islands and every effort
will be made to make the experiment
successful.
The Dutch Government is now plant
ing the trees in various parts of the
Dutch East Indies. II is asserted, how
ever, by French experts. that the Dutch
are using inferior qualities of the plant.
The British authorities in the East In
dies have thus far limited their efforts
to regulations making it misdemeanor
to destroy immature trees
In a pamphlet published in Germany
last year the writer asserted that the
Philippines are among the few places IN
the world in which the gutta percha
tree reaches its best development. 1t is
we'll worth while to ascertain whether
this statement in regard to Our new
possessions is accurate If these. trees
may be successfully cultivated in the
Philippines a new source of wealth open
to American enterprise will be avail
able.
The prospect is that within the next
half century more ocean cable will be
laid than is now in service if the supply
of gutta percha is adequate for the pro-
lection of all the submarine wires need
ed. Up to the present time nothing has
been found which will supplant gutta
percha for this purpose The demand
for gutta pcrcha is. therefore, almost un-
limited and the price it commands makes
It . very profitable commodity to handle.
At present the supply is so short that
the mere laying of an American cable
son,e time ago raised the price nearly

MANY-LEGGED CRAwLERs.

In any pasture or other uncultlvated
piece of ground, or by the roadside,
says g writer in St. Nicholas. you
may find many pretty buried stones,
81 all sizes, from small pebbles up to
bouiders many times larger than
man can lift. No one who has not ex-
plored would guess how much OF the
life of the fields and woods goes on
under the stones. Here a multitude OF
little creatures-snakes, nevis, snails,
and many insects-live all the year
round, or take refuge from their enc
mics or from the cold. Besides this,
these rocks, form doors which you
san open, and then you can catch
glimpses of the life Of the underground
world which goes on everywhere be-
meath the surface Of the soil. II you
