a small door made of iron bars in
to a room about eight by thirty
feet in size. An iron rod ran the
length of the room through the
centre and about six inches from
the floor. On each side of this iron
rod sat twenty-five or thirty pris-
oners facing each other and fast
ened to one another by heavy
chain about the neck of each. at
night one foot of each prisoner is
chained to the iron rod. 1t was a
hot ill ventilated place and was
told that many become sick and
die. The floor was of mud. They
asked me for bread and l was told
by the keeper that there was no
allowance for food out that they
had to depend upon charity. I

was little chance that it would

out each day and beaten.

to the elevation of the land being
from five to eight thousand feet.

June the people were sleeping be

l was very glad for the oppor-
tunity of visiting this part of our
field. The thing that impressed
me most on this tour as on former
tours was the great number of
unreached villages which wepass-
ed by daily not having time to
stop in them and which have new
er heard the gospel and the great
mum Der of the unreached in the
towns and villages that have been
merely touched.
Our greatest needs are, first,
that the Holy Spirit may be pour
ed out in abundance upon the
christians of this land both mis-
sionaries and natives that they
may be impressed by their re.
sponsibility as possessors of the
light, and, second that the Lord
OF the Harvest may raise up and
thrust forth other laborers into
this part of His harvest field. II

David Swope's Name Will be Familiar
In Every American Household.

DoVHu cWVPS NnuiS VIII US Tutnubht
In Every American Household.
David Swope is son of George
Swope at Wells Tannery, and just
now his name is riding the head.
lines of all the leading newspa.
pers of the country. 1t all came
about this way: Davy is a"crack" "
bridge builder, and is employed
by the Wabash Railroad Co., and
has been at work in, or near,
Pittsburg. Last Fridays dallies
contained a dispatch from Pitts.
burg saying that Dave had receiv-
ed a telegram saying that his wife
Annie, who lived on a farm with
her parents in Fulton county, had
given birth to five boys, and that
Dave should come home at once
to help take care of them. Of
course the five-boy business is a
fake. Dawes wife's name is An.
ME, but she lives with her hus.
band in the western part of the
State.
The funny part of it IS the way
the papers over the country bit
on it as a piece of news. Here is
what the Chicago Inter. Ocean
says of it editorially:
''The earliest dispatches with
reference to the Swope affair in
Fulton county, Pennsylvania, are
entirely unsatisfactory in so far
as they relate to one of the prln.
cipals.
"Davld Swope is steel work
er, and was engaged in riveting
bolts In a Wabash bridge, at a
height of 125 feet above the wa
ter, on Thursday last, when the
foreman handed him a telegram
reading:
"'Annie gave birth to FIVE boys today. Come
! home at once. Annie and boys all doing
| well.'
"Annie, it appears, is David
Swope's wife. 1t is significant
that her husband, though sus
pended in midalr when he got
the dispatch, lost neither his
presence of mind nor his balance
but, on the contrary, quietly laid
down his tools, folded his blouse
called for his time, and quit his
job, saying, like good husband
that his place was by the side o.
his wife and five boys.
"The story is apparently cor
rect up to this point, but where
it represents David Swope al
saying that under no circum
stances would he permit the five
boys, or any of them, to be nam
ed after politicians, thereby leav
ing the inference that he was
disinclined to let the Roosevelt
administration have any credi'
for his wife's achievement, i
seems to give plain evidence O.
having been tampered with by
the Presidents enemies.
"Later news from Fulton coun
ty, we are confident, will place
DAVID Swope IN a much better
light before the American peo
pie. Although nothing is know
at present concerning his antece
dents, it stands to reason that h,
has always voted the Republican
ticket, for there is not on recort
an instance IN which a nonparti
san, independent, or mugwuml
has ever become the father o
quintuplets, all boys.
"This being the case, then,
also stands to reason that, a.
soon as the excitement in hi
nome subsidies, Mr.. Swope will
demonstrate his loyalty and graf
itude by naming his boys Theo
dore Roosevelt Swope, Jacob Rii

Vast Deserts of the Ocean

Moreover. the capricious elements
not infrequently played the mischief
with nautical Instructions, and as a re-
suit the field of operations for ocean
shipping was vastly extended.
This is no longer true TO-DAY. The
inner goes straight ahead in defiance of
WIND ana wave. The ports between
which she plies are great Industrial or
commercial centers, Whittier come
numberless railways, serving as pro-
longations of the lines of navigation.
Freight cars carry their loads of mer-
chand1se to the lesser ports and the
cities of the interior. The railway has
killed coastwise navigation.
The ocean highways are, therefore,
anything but numerous. The most
frequented of oceans is the Atlantic.
Apart from polar seas we see that
in its northern part there is only one
desert zone-a dreary waste Of wa
tiers between the. routes from Europe
to the United States or Canada and
those from Europe. to the Antilles. In
the south, between the routes from
South America or the western Ameri-
can coast and the routes from South
Africa, extends a desert occasionally
traversed by the steamers Of the lines
from Cape Town and Mozambique
which, when the coffee season is at Its
height in Brazil, cross the atlantic for
cargoes at Rio Janeiro or Santos.
The Indian ocean is frequented only
in the north by lines out of India and

liners from Oceania. which call at

OCEANS, like continents, have their
" deserts. On the high seas there
are vast spaces whose waves have
never been parted by the PROV Of a
sailing vessel or dashed by the propeller
of steamer. Immense solitudes
where the flap Of a sail is never heard
nor the strident cry of siren; verita-
BILE deserts, whose silence is broken
only by the bowling of the wind and
the roar of waves which have been
day of creation.
= These deserts lie forgotten betwixt
the narrow ocean highways Travelled by
vessels. In such waste places of the
sea disabled ship, driven out of its
course by hurricane, may drift for
months, tossed by the ceaseless ground
swell. without being able to hail as
sistance her only chance of escape is
the possibility that some oceanic cur
rent may drag her into a more fire.
quented region.
1t is generally supposed that by rea-
son of the universal increase of mari
time traffic the sea is everywhere fur
rowed by vessels. That is mistake.
The gradual but constant disappear
ance of sailing ships made the ocean
more of a desert than before. Sailing
vessels had their established routes in
accordance with winds, currents and
seasons; the gaps between the routes
taken by outward bound and home
ward-bound ships are often consid-
