which Is also a creed, and parts Of 1t
are chanted by the choir, Two more
hymns and the congregation leaves the
church. The organ gives forth more
glorious music as the. ministers and
musicians take the head Of the process
sion that has formed and then start
up the hill to the burying ground
where the remainder Of the service Is
held.
The crowd which has been standing
patiently outside the church, Joins in
the procession and moves silently in
the gray light Of dawn.
The Moravians believe that no mans
memory should be exalted above an
others by the surroundings Of his
grave, since all men are equal in the
the sight of God. So there are no
high monuments in the cemetery; only
plain rectangular stones laid flat on
the graves, which are low and in very
straight rows.
In the center of the graveyard stand
the clergymen near them are the choir
and the trombone players, and in a
hollow square around them stand near
ly 1900 persons. There the litany Il
completed, and hymns are sung again.
"And keep us in everlasting fellow
ship with those Of our brethren and
sisters who, since last Easter day,
have entered into the Joy Of their
Lord, and with the whole Church
Triumphant let us rest together in Thy
presence from our labors," chants the
minister.
Another hymn and the benediction,
and the early morning service Is
over.
Such Is the time-honored observance
which the Moravians have followed
for more than century.

A Decisive Armor Test.

Recently test was made on the
French battleship Sutfren to determine
the effect Of projectile shocks upon the
turret machinery Of modern warships.
The Suffren is modern vessel, and the
test was made by firing twelve-lnch
shells at the turret from a distance OF
only 200 yards, the whole crew being
on board at the time. As it was not
desired to crack the turret armor, a
heavy piece of armor plate was rlyeted
to the turret 10 act as a target, thus
saving the armor and transmitting the
whole shock to the mechanism.
Several shots were fired, and after
each one the tuwet.moVing devices

A peal Of the big bell in the steeple

A peal Of the big bell In the steeple
announces that the doors are open to
those who have been waiting In the
dark, and the pews fill rapidly. So do
the aisles, and every bit Of available

pulpit and fill the pastors room in the

gins.
The minister with outstretched arms
motions the congregation to Its feet.
"The Lord is. risen," he chants with
the choir.
"The Lord la risen. indeed" answer
the congregation.
Then follows hymn, the music OF
which Is perhaps by Handel perhaps
by Bach. A choir and selected
chorus, trained and familiar with the
intricate music, lead the singing and
many Of the members Of the congrega'
ton join in, and the trombones help
out with their chorus.
The music is most impressive and
illustrates the inherent German love
for 1t which Is one Of the characters
tics Of the Moravian congregation.
They love the works OF the old mas
tiers. None Of the lighter rhythmic
hymns pleases them, and the music to
which they sing verses Of praise is, in
most cases, adapted from some
classic source.
It is music which, from It com
plexity, would be impossible for any
other congregation, but the Moravians
have been brought up on 1t. Even the
children in the Sunday school have
mastered sacred music adapted from
Bach.
The ministers follow with readings

Of the semi-panicky conditions. Anx-

great loss Of life and property damage
as a direct result Of storm Of such
extraordinary nature.
Eight persons were injured and ex-

In families where money does not

ten robbed Of Imagination, and always
Of hardshlps, and this by fathers and
mothers who know the value OF both
by personal experience. Mrs. Marga'
ret Deland, in Harper's Bazaar, tells Of
the joy children have in planning, In
working for what they want, and in
working out their own problems.

Artificial Propagation of Oysters,

Up to recently 1t has been impossible
10 propagate oysters artlfcially, but
within the last year Professor Julius
Nielsen, biologist for the State Bureau
Of Shell Fisheries of New Jersey, has
succeeded in propagating oyster germs
or seed.
If q female oyster be jabbed with
knife in the right way the knife point
will be smeared with q milky looking
substance, in which, by the aid of a
microscope, can be seen tiny eggs hav-
ing the general shape Of minute oys-
tiers.
If the same proceeding be gone
through with for the male, and the two
fluids mixed in salt water, fertilization
will occur in about ten minutes, and III

hours the shells begin to come, and the
oysters are in fair way to grow up

many male sperms adhere to one egg,

Tho Usual Course o. Senators When
They Are Accused. \
THE FATAL LANE SUCCESSION.
Ten Senators Have Served In The Lane
Succession While Only Five Senators
Have Served In The Pomeroy Sue
cesslon.

Washington, Mar 30.-The news Of
the conviction Of Senator Burton was
not generally known to members Of
congress until after adjournment.
Representative Miller had the first
direct news Of the verdict by wire, and
informed the Kansas delegation in the
house. The verdict was discussed
quietly, and created no sort OF sensa-
ton. In the senate, 1t was said that
no action Of any kind would probably
be taken touching Senator Burton's
membership in that body, leaving the
law TO deal with the case.
Earlier in the day, it was confidently
expected that there would be q hung
Jury. The announcement OF the ver-
dict, therefore, created some surprise,
An appeal will be taken and the case
may be carried to the supreme court,
and 1t is thought that the last chapter
will not be written till next January
or February.
Senator Burton belongs to the fatal
Lane succession. Every senator who
has served in that line has met with
political disaster. When Kansas was
admitted to statehood, James Fl. Lane
was elected as one Of the United States
senators and s. G. Pomeroy as the 9TH
err. Among politicians, senatorial lives
are known as the "Lane succession"
and the "Pomeroy succession" Ten
senators have served in the Lane sue
cession, counting Burton. Only five
senator's have served in the Pomeroy
succession.
The Lane succession includes Sena-
tors E. G. Ross, Alexander Caldwell,
Robert Crozier, James M. Harvey, P.
