the Hudson in which so many lives
were lost.
After we left Moville, a notice was
posted in the ship that breakfast would
be served next morning at 6. This
meant that we would get to Glasgow
about Z. And so we did. Some Of
the passengers arose early to see the
scenery along the river Clyde, which
opens up the way from the sea to
Glasgow. All along this river are evi-
dences Of mans skill and industry
great shipbuilding industries and 9TH
er enterprises. We passed by a mag
nificent building owned by the Singer
Sewing Machine company and in which
their machines are made.
AS We rolled into this great city. my
heart was filled with Joy, and when
put my feet on Scotland soil felt like
I was standing on sacred soil. This
little country has done so much for
the world In a commercial, civic, edu-
cational and religious way, that man
kind will never pay her all the debt
which 1t owes to her.
This ended my journey, ever to be
remembered, from Yorkville to Glas-.
gov.
I heartily appreciate all the wishes
extended to me by my friends through
letter and word. II good wishes could
carry one across the water think I
would have gone to bed in Yorkville
and gotten up next morning in Glas-
gov. If you want to find out how
much people think Of you and are
interested in you, just take a trip to
Europe.
With best wishes to all the readers

BOMB PROOF Room AT GIBRALTAR.-

BOMB PROOF Room AT GIBRALTAR
The storing of coal at Gibraltar is ac-
complished by means of very curious
plant, which has just been completed
for the pumping station at Landport.
In the huge rock-fortress the coal
store, boiler house and the engine
room adjoining, are worked under COM
pressed air. and are necessarily air
tight. The store to which the coal
has to be conveyed Is hewn out of the
solid rock, and is absolutely bomb
proof. A special feature is the ar
rangement Of the coal plant in such
a way that it does not interfere with
the air pressure. The coal is lifted
from the coal tip fifty-seven feet be-
low the horizontal Traveller. The skip
by which the coal Is conveyed Is raised
by means Of a steel wire rope working
over pulleys and round a driving
drum. The time occupied by the skip
in travelling from coal tip to coal store
Is two minutes. At this end, and on
a level with the motors, a sentry box
Is hewn out Of the rock, where the
man who controls the gearing for
hosting the skip is housed and has
practically a full view Of all three
operations.-Philadelp Record.

A Leqend.

There is an old legend of man
who sold his soul to Satan. The con-
ditions were: For a certain number Of
years this man was to have all his de-
sires gratified, at the expiration Of
which his soul was forfeited.
When the time agreed upon had ex-
pired, this man was unwilling to fulfill
his part of the contract, and asked Sa-
tan upon what terms be could be re-
leased. The reply was:
IF you will curse God I will release
YOU"
NO" said the man, 81 cannot curse
the Being whose nature is love. Give
me something less fearfully wicked"
Then kill your father" replied Sa-
tan, "and you go free"
NO." answered the man, that is too
horrible to think Of. 1 will not COM
init so great a crime. Are there no
other conditions?"
"One more" replied the tempter.
You must get drunk"
THAT is a very easy thing to do
the man answered, land I accept your
proposition. I cannot kill my father,
l will not curse my God, but I can get
drunk, and when I become sober all
will be WELL"
Accordingly he got drunk, and when
in this condition he happened to meet
his father who upbraided him. which
so excited the ire Of the drunken and
half -crazed man, that he slew his
father, cursed his God, then fell down
dead, and Satan had him without fail.
Only a legend, this particular case,
but how true to the facts regarding
the liauor curse.-Nationa Advocate.
