In order to calculate the linear vcloc-
fly OF the earth in it's orbit we must
first know It's distance from the sun.
If we can measure the carth'S velocity
the suns distance can be computed.
If the velocity can be determined With
great accuracy the resulting value OF
the suns distance is propOrtiOnatcly
precise. The methods of Sprc;roScOpy
have been so far improved that we are
within measurable distance OF deter
mining the solar parallnX by Spcctro-
scopic observations. If any star near
the Zodiac be observed with the spec
trOScopr at tic two seasons when it's
longitude differs from that Of the sun
hy ninety degrees, we can dcducc not
only the velocity OF the star along the
line Joining star and earth. but also
the mean velocity OF the earth in it's
orbit. SpcctrOsc0pc observations Of
stellar velocity in the line OF sight are
now so good that the value OF the solar
distance which may be had on the prin-
ciple described is Mt least of the same
order of accuracy as values derived
froE, older methods.

The physical geography OF the Red
River region has lately been studied
by DR.. bowling, who finds that part
Of Manitoba has been twice submerged
beneath the sea. and finally elevated
before the glacial period. The ice then
Travelled SOuthward until it completely
filled the Red River Valley and even
extended over Minnesota. AS the ice
melted large lake was formed along
It's southern margin which increased
III extent rs the ice rrtrcaipd north
ward. and beaches were formed along
its shores. The lake first drained south
ward to the Mississippi hut later the
water found other outlets, prOba bly,
toward IluhSon's Bay, and gradual
contraction OF the lake cnSucd, in
which successive beaches mark the
separate stages. The present lakes
of Manitoba are the remains OF this
great lake Of former times. through
whose waters the bowldcr CLAW and
other sediment were constantly sifted
and distributed over the whole region
thus causing the wonderful fertility
that charactcrizcs most of the Red
River Valley.

Baer of the Reading company, and of ficials of other companies, under the law of 1S9S providing a $l0,000 fine and one years imprisonment, is being given con- sideration. This will be the first real test Of the measure
 In January, schedules calling for de- tailed information from the coal com panies were delivered to the proper of- ficials by special agents of the census office. It was expected that they would be returned in the course of a month or so. This was true of the schedules of the bituminous mines, but nothing has been heard from the anthracite coal companies.
 It is stated by. government officials in posi- ion to know that the information is being held back Intentionally. As the newly created department of commerce aud labor. with it's bureeu .ef-enrpera-- tions, which officials say, is looked upon with disfavor by organized capital throughout the country, would have ac- cess to all returns, it is believed that this in part explains the delay.
 It is further said that the anthracite companies are perhaps, taking advantage of a technical error in an amendment passed in 1902 to the original census law of 1898. This law provides that the cen- sus reports on mining must be publish ed by July l. 1903. The law was amend ed postponing the date until July 1, 1904.
 It was recently decided to make a final effort to get the data. President Baer of the Reading company. upon his return from Europe few days ago, was told hat the information was desired at once, ana It was impressed upon him that un- less the coal companies responded im- mediately, the government would take steps to force tie companies to comply.
 So far, MT Baer and his associates have not responded. It the desired in- formation Is not forthcoming within reasonable time the whole question will be laid before the President and permis- sion asked to proceed through the bu- reau of corporations and through the de- partment of justice.
 Conservative government officials here view the situation with the greatest con- cern and admit frankly that the legality of the provisions of the census act and the efficiency of the act creating the bu- reau of the department of commerce and labor are at stake.

 AN ABLE PREACHER
(contInued From Third Pase)

where it will reflect no compelling light stroy it from within by joining with 1t in the soulless worship of a fictitious Christ after the real Christ has been scourGed away from it's sanctuaries.
 As the Great Master was grappled by His supreme foe. when He was tempted to conquer the world by being Himself worldly, to become the worlds Christ by being Himself un-Christly, so the su- preme temptation of the church is now and has been to possess the world by conforming itself to the kind of Christ that the world would approve of and is willing to accept, rather than by grimly struggling and battling and suffering for the recognition of its own high Christ on the part of the world unwillingl
 The Church.
 My friends, when 1 say church" I am not thinking of an abstraction; nor am I thinking merely of an institution organ ized into dioceses and parishes, with creeds and canons and ceremonies and clerical orders-I am thinking of the men and women who are churchmen and churchwomen, and who, because church. men and church. women, are supposed to be led and lifted by the Spirit of Jesus Christi am thinking of you and of my self. Are we. you and I, elevated, safe guarded, in a fortress of Christly loyalty beyond need of the injunction, Be not conformed to this age'? beyond need of the appeal. Be ye transformed by the Christly renewing of your mind'? Is there no black shadow of organism how ering about us, and threatening to take from us the redemptive vision of our Christian life by organizing its senti- ments and it's aims? Do we, who could find our places in some pew, or at some altar rail, blindfolded-do we hold fresh in memory no syllable of any voice bid- ding Us leacn and take and possess and enjoy the pershable blessings of world ly well-being, on condition that we stoop and pay with the obeisance of an eternal sou? And is conscience clean of all reminder that we accepted the condi- ton and fulfilled it?
 Are we-you and I-by the white purity of cur purposes the pure whitness of our endeavors, making it impossible for the world not to behold the Great Christ resurrected. lifted up in us? Or are we eager to follow the worlds standards to win the worlds provinces, willing to wear it's stains to reap it's rewards-making 1t quite possible for the age to believe cf Him we name and bend the knee to that He was lowered from His cross and laid away, and never lifted up, never r,sur- rected, in the hearts of His followers? Are we in brief, fighting the battle of the Great Christ for Him with Him, and conquering when we seem to fail by de- clining to lower. to compromise Ills ideal? Or are we simply fighting our own small battles. in His name and failing though we seem to triumph by dwarfing our Christian discipleship to so poor and pitiful a stature, that no worldly eye needs to look at it and measure 1t by looking up?

Vices and Indecencies.

There may be only a few among us- God grant there are none!-accustomed to kneel and worship in this church or any other, who yield. being tempted to lower their Christian discipleship low enough to make 1t witness of the wretch edest indecencies, the grossest crimes, the vilest sins: God grant that we are none of us in danger of conforming ourselves to the world or the time in it's foulest aspect Like those early Roman converts the temptation, doubtless of most of us is not to sanction by indulging in or fail- ing to protest against vices that the world itself shudders at in the light nay, but to grow spiritually tolerant of lesser evils all around us that the worldly spirit ap- proves of and applauds; so tolerant of them that their unChristliness ceases to repel-so tolerant of them spiritually that toleration passes finally for us to practical approval and applause.
 Be on Guard.
 We stand steady and conquer and cast from us the monstrous foul sin. We may be set upon, and beaten down and rob bed of our treasure of Christly charac- ter, by innumerable small sins-wafting their temptations to us on the air we breathe, minging or mixing them with the sounds we hear and the sights we see.
 Therefore. daily, hourly. momently, we need to be on our guard that there be no compromise of conformity between the greatness of our faith and somewhat lesser and lower, that there be no stain upon that treasure of our souls which bears the seal and sign of the Uplifted Christ. Let us be on our guard remem- berng, never forgetting that character takes it's height from what it supremely loyalty loves; lives and is strong in the life and strength of what supremely 1t purposes to do and bel
