The skeletons Of so mastOdOns have been found
In the state Of New York distributed along certain
well-marked BELTS as follows: Thirtyf four In east
ern New York, from Albany south through New
burg; 13 from Rochester south through Livingston
comfy; two near Chautauqua lake and two near
Ithaca. Outside Of these belts the state Is barren.
Il would appear, therefore, that the msstOdOns

mass of thoughtful men perceive that character is
essential and supreme.
True morality requires peculiar inspiration and
force to sustain IT, it must be rooted the spirit
and draw its life from eternity.
Many men discuss morality as il it we're altOgeth-
er a matter Of knowledge, good judgment and COM
mon sense.
Morality means utility. Show men that their in
terest and happiness will be best secured by virtue,
and they will follow the right pathway. But these
philosophers ignore some Of the most patent and
most potent facts Of natures the binding processes
OF desire, the sOphisry Of selfshness, the madness
OF lust, the defiance Of sefWi the irratiOnaity OF
temper and inipatience, the illusions Of wanton
fancy, the overwhelming power Of immediate gain
and pleasure, all these must be withstOOd and mas
tered before we do the just, the noble and the
pure and it is only in high spiritual considerations
and influences that we find the ,availing force.
These spiritual considerations and influences are
found at their highest in the Christian faith.

its prosperity.


prOvements, soon discovered that this Oriental
fiber made the lghtest and strongest harpOon lines
Until 1880 the whole export and import trade of
the Philippines, with exception, was in the
hands OF Spanish monopoly. The exception was
an American firm which had secured special con-
cessiOn from the Spanish government, chiefly for
dealing In Manila hemp. Although the plant that
produces this fiber grows wild in the Philippines
and requires practically no cultivation, and al
though there are millions of acres upon which it
might be planted, Manila hemp is still about the
highest priced Of cOrdage fbers.
The reason is that for seventy five years there has
been practically no improvement in the method OF
separating the fiber from the surrounding pulp.
The best hber is still produced as in 1926 by draw
ing the stalks under q smooth edged knife pressed
down on block of wood. By using . saw-edged
knife this process may be expedited, but the fiber
is 80 injured that the insular government is think
ing OF prohibiting snch knives and employing In
spectors to see that nOns are used.
It remains for the Yankee inventor to supple
ment the work Of the Yankee sailor and the Yankee
merchant for and with Manila hemp by devising
machine that will do what is now done by hand la
bor-get the fiber out OF the pulp without iniurng
1t. Certainly it would seem that the people who
produced the inventor, who revOlntiOnzed the cot
ton industry and changed cotton fabrics from arti-
ces OF luxury to the mOst,Widey worn Of textiles,
ought to be able to produce an inventor who would
solve the problem Of Manila hemp.
