The world has been a long time in
making little progress. The delight
with which the public had greeted the
slOw-going stage coach shows how lit
tie was required to arouse the people
and call forth their astonishment. That
vehicle which required two days to
make the trip from New York to Phil

"The Flying Machine" no longer ago
than 1766, seems almost incredible in
this day when we 60 from New York

As : study Of contrasts, before and

the marvel Of slow age which the
world had been centuries In reaching;
the locomotive is the necessity of a

turned to her In case Of nondellvery.

FARMING IN ALASKA.

Although much has been written In
ridicule and condemnation OF the gov.
ernment seed distribution. one portion
OF the country believes in II emphatic
ally. During the past year the govern.
ment has given seeds of hardy vegeta.
hles. early grains. clover. grass and
Hower seeds to seven hundred and fifty
settlers in different parts OF Alaska.
So difhcult is IL to obtain seeds In the
tSr north that without such provision
few would attempt gardening. Miners
and proSpectors on the rivers and
creeks far In the interior report that
their home produce not only greatly
reduces the cost OF living, but in a
land OF canned goods is an important
factor In good health,

tables from government seed; a third

President Dlaz.

Outside of Mexico there is a gener
al impression that because President
Dlaz is now seventy-three years old
he must be failing and that at best he
can last but a little time longer. "0n
the contrary, says a man who has Just
returned from a business trip to the
sister republic, half a minutes talk
with the general will dispel any such
notion. He is of Oaxaca Indian
blood, a tribe noted for longevity and

What Radlum Has Done. i.

Sir Oliver Lodge protests against
the current idea that the discovery of
radium in any way shakes the long ac-
cepted laws of science. On the con-
trary, it affirms them, as the instabil-
ity OF matter which radium proves was
theoretically acquired in the electric
theory of its constitution, were true,
and radium completes this theory In
stead of destroying it. Radium gives
us, in embryo, a transmutation of the
elements.

DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT.
Tabernacle Church Handsomely Entertains
Students Of the Baptist University.

The reception and entertainment given
last night in the Sunday School rooms of
the Tabernacle Baptist church was one of
the most pleasant and enjoyable ever
given in this city. 1t was given by
members of the church, complimentary
to the students and faculty of the Bap-
fist Female University. Nearly all of
the students We're present, these num-
bering about one hundred and
fifty. The crowd present numbered over
five hundred which consisted of church
members and invited friends.
About $3.50 o'clock the body of students
arrived and were informally received by
the members of the church. The pro-
gram of the evening was short but highly
appreciated. Miss Martin, daughter of
Colonel Martin, of New York, rendered
splendid recitation entitled 'No. 25.''
Mrs. Horace Dowell sang a beautiful
solo entitled For ALI Eternity and Mrs.
Wade Brown sang annie Laurie" Sew
eral selections were given on the piano
by students of the college and others
Rev. j. C. Massee, pastor of the church,
made an address of welcome to which
DR.. Vann made response. At the con
clusion of the entertainment there were
introductions all around, and the next
hour was spent in social converse and
partaking of refreshments, which con-
sisted of cream, cake and other deli
cacies.
The church was decorated in the col
ors of the college which were crimson
and silver. At 1915 good night" was
said and all wended their way home,
highly pleased with the enjoyment of
the evening.
No entertainment has ever been given
in Raleigh to college students which was
more enjoyable to them and the thanks
OF the entire body is extended to the
church.
