which commission shall be final

Mr.. COLLARS LECTURE.

The lecture at the opera house
Friday night by President L. V.
collars, Of the Texas Christian uni
versiiy Of Waco, proved a rare IN.
tellectual treat for those who we're
fortunate enough 10 be present.
The speaker was appropriately
introduced by Judge Doremus.
Mr.. collars subject was "Life's
Ideal and How TO Reach II" He
presented the subject in It's prac-
teal, moral, philosophical and bib.
lical phases, taking the position
that FIVE things are essential 10 the
attainment Of the ideal. These are
perfect model, because man is
initiatives time for growth, prepa.
ration, development, because a man
cannot he made in a day or a year;
proper food, because there can be
no growth without nourishment;
work, exercise Of powers and fac
ulties, giving something in return
for what We receive, because the
law Of compensation in nature is
inexorable; anu last but not least.
love, the inspiring and propelling
influence in the higher life. In
Chsist the speaker declared we
have the perfect model, and Christ
spent thirty years in preparation
for his grand work Of three years
and a half. Each Of the other
points was beautifully elaborated
by the speaker, who dwelt upon
the fact that the world wants men
and women who are prepared 10 do
something. The world no longer
asks what do you know? but rath-
er what can you do? The godlike
ideal OF life was shown to be seek.
ing to do good to others, the para
bic of the good Samaritan being
eloquently paraphrased. In con-
clusion the speaker quoted from
David's prayer for men like oaks
and women like cornerstones, poll
ished in the similitude Of a palace.
He said that we have discarded
the notion that woman Is merely a
clinging vine TO hang upon the
oak, and got back to David's idea
making her the cornerstone Of the
social fabric, for society can meyer
be stronger than it, women.
The musical numbers included

A Spectacle That Is Magnificent IL

A Spectacle That Is Magnificent In
It's IInpressiveness.
1t was trifle past the afterglow Of
sunset, and the sea was a deep rich
purple, with long flowing swells. The
sky, fine light turquoise blue at no.
rizon, gradually deepened into a rich
cobalt in which few stars twinkled.
A majority Of the men were absorbed
in various occupations below when a
call of enthusiasm brought all up on
deck. At point low on the southwest
horizon q faint film had arisen, which
quickly, silently assumed the form of a
curtain, waving and mounting upward
in two stately columns past group Of
finely shaped cirrostratus. In a few
seconds it was across the zenith, dis
playing beautiful pale yellows, greens
and delicate rink and blue lights, with
edgings at intervals of faint purple and
red. The columns descended rapidly in
ever varying spirals Of perspective un-
til the avant garde was lost behind the
far northwest horizon.
We were about off the Danish port of
Godthaab, Greenland, sufficiently
southern latitude at this season for the
alienation of day and night, and as the
heavens darkened the stars shone with
increasing brightness through this
great shimmering veil of light.
The heavens and the sea grew darker
and darker, and the aurora brighter
and BRIGHTER in lightning changes of
form and color, with the green and vel
low and blue rays predominating and
the delicate sheen from the aurora's
light writing in fiery serpent forms
over the face of the moving waters.
What impressiveness, what magnif-
cence! It held the soul as in a spell.
There was not much talking. Splendid
as it was, I afterward witnessed auro-
ras which produced deeper impress
sion, due doubtless to the presence Of
the long night of the far north.-Cen-

Arizona Sunshine.

To one who has been there, says Cas-
par w. Hodgson in Sunset Magazine
the name Arizona, first Of all, suggests
sunshine and plenty of it, Nowhere on
the globe is sunshine more abundant,
more appreciated or more harmless. In
deed, a sunstroke has never been re-
corded in this territory. Though all
good Arizonians have crossed the Has
sayampa river, which act, according
to tradition, divests one of the power
to tell the truth, believe their records
are accurate as to sunstroke. The ex-
PLANTATION is found in the fact that heat
is not SO much a matter of thermome-
ter as of humidity.
The dry, hot air Of the Arizona desert
is invigorating to the initiated. One can
learn to love the desert. There the sun
rises and sunsets are intensely beauti-
full and nowhere on earth richer in col
or. This is sometimes called Sunset
Land. It might also be called Land of
Sunrise.-Sunset Magazine.

The Origin of Woo1wich Arsenal

Woolwich arsenal is said to owe its
existence to an explosion. According
to the story the surveyor general gave
orders that some old French guns, cap
tured by the Duke of Marlborough,
should be recast into English guns at
Moorields. A young Swiss student,
Andrew Schalch, who was travelling in
search of scientific knowledge, happen
ed to be present and noted that the
molds to receive the molten metal were
not dry. He spoke to the authorities
of the danger, but the metal was run,
and the generation of steam in the
damp mold caused an explosion, at
tended with loss of life. Schalch was
subsequently summoned to the ord
nance office, his abilities tested, and he
was then requested to select site for
a new foundry. His choice fell on
Woolwich, where he was superintend-
ent of the arsenal for many years
