Negro Preacher's Theory Not Opsn
"a Question.
Booker 4. Washington tells a story
In the Galveston News Of an old col.
Ored preacher who was endeavOring to
explain to his congregation how It was
that the children Of Israel passed over
the Red Sea safely. while the Egyp.
tlans. who came after them. were
drowned. The old man said:
MY brethren, 1t was this way: When
the lssaelites passed over 1t was early
In the morning. while 1t was cold and
the Ice was strong enough 30 that they
went over all right; but when the
Egyptians came along 1t was In the
middle OF the day. and the sun had
thawed the Ice SO that 1t gave way
under them and they We're drowned.
At this young man In the congre.
CATION, who had been away to school
ana had come home, rose and said:
~ don't see how that explanation can
be right, parson. The geography that
I've been studying tells us that Ice new.
err forms under the equator. and the
Red Sea is nearly under the equator"
"There, now," said the old preacher.
"thats all right. Use been 'spectin'
some of you smart Alexis would be

The time was talkln' about was be-

W. ii. Firth has come from England

He declares that the present process OF
hardening steel by plunsing and subse.
Quent anneslins will be abolished and
all steel now In Use, including armof

new process hardening and annealins are
accomplished simultaneously In q bath

the quicksilver under the influence Of heat
is said to create even pressure all round.
and to prevent that distortion Of the
molecules which causes those flaws In

and the British government tests seem
to bear him out. that metal hardened and

that ship plates and oil exposed metal
