DEVICE To CHECK FIRES
IN HOLDS OF SHIPS
Consul Cooling Tells Of an Englishman's
Ingenious Invention.

Consul F. ". Cooling. of Newcastle.
England, has written the Secretary Of
State of an apparatus recently invented
by a Newcastle man for arresting fire
in ships holds-an invention which. If
practicable, will be Of much interest to
American shipowners. In his commu-
nieation Consul Cooling says:
1T Is well known that fires on board
a ship are most difficult to contend with:
It Is next to impossible TO find the ac-
tual location. there Is danger Of suffo-
cation in any attempt to 90 below, and
a FIRE in the center Of the cargo cannot
be reached. The heating Of coal car
goes has caused the loss Of many ships.
and there has been little chance of cop
ing with such a condition, except by
discharging a portion Of the cargo and
flooding the hold with water, which is
often impossible.

WHAT THE JEW HAS DONE
FOR THE WORLD
An Interesting Lecture Delivered by Dr..
Madison C. Peters.

What the Jew Has Done for the
World" was the subject OF the Rev.
Dr.. Madison c. Peters lecture. last even
ing, in the First Presbyterian Church
Dr.. Peters is the author of The Jew as
Patriot" Among other things, Dr.
Peters said:
The anti-semite is a coward. The
cry Of the Jew-hater is the cry OF the
beaten man. The best man. as rule,
wins" He pointed to the success of
the Jewish children in distancing their
Christian competitors in the public
school examinations and the success of
the Jewish students at the universities.
Excepting Russia, the Jews are more
hated In Austria than in any other coun-
try on earth, and though they form only
5 per cent of the population of Austria
they furnish 20 Per cent of the stu
dents at the Austrian universities. IN
Germany the Jews are pushing the
Christians hard, and therefore the Jew
must go.
only a decadent race need fear the
jew, said Dr. Peters. and if the Ger
man or the Frenchman is afraid OF him.
so much the worse for the German or
the Frenchman."
DR.. Peters attributes the success Of
the Jew largely to his energy in dis
cipIining his reasoning power and learn
ing how to do better work. which in
