With paths upleading to the heights
above,
Andliving chance to act, achieve, attain.
For life, our Father, do we utter praisel
For love-
Divinest gift
Bestowed upon our human race
by One who loved, and, loving. gave.
God smiled as he created, and the smile
caught and retainedby the created clay
Became the seal and surety
That we call love;
The seal Of kinship with God wholloyes
The surety Of life, of fuller life.
Or life eternal, limitless, sublime
For love, our Father, do we utter praise
For light
The ray direct,
Down shining from thy radiant self
AS sunbeam flashes from the sun TO sod.
No itful CLEAN that filters through the
past,
No ancient sunbeam prisoned in "a book,
But light from thine own face agleam
Upon thy path;
The way illumined, doubt and, danger
gone, = rs5.s. t,s,a,
the day clear-skyed, the course of duty
plain,
And but one task 10 tread it in the light
For hght. our Father, do we utter praise!

THANKSGIVING DAY
BY Rustic.

Thanksgiving has not yet made its
way to all parts of the country with
the hearty welcome that has been
accorded to the Christmas festival But
because 1t is associated with the home
and with the affections that make the
home the dearest spot on earth to all
who are fortunate enough to enjoy It's
blessings, it will grow and gather to
user associations Of tenderness and
trust as the generations pass. As the
magical effects of prayer and praise
drop out Of the thoughts Of men, a
mood Of pure thanksgiving succeeds,
and this blending with the divine
affections Of the household makes
thanksgiving to be nearly a perfect
holiday 1t is a holy day, on which,
without reserve, all natural forms of
gladness may come to expression.
1t u not Sabbath to break but a
festival in which joy and gladness may
reign IN the hearts and homes Of men.
Although 1t has been established in the
name Of the government Of the nation.
1t binds no mans conscience. il opposes
no ones creed, and it may be accepted
by any one who has a song Of gladness
IN his heart although he does not know
the source Of the good things that he
enjoys and cannot thank the Giver
A PSALM OF THANKSGIVING.
For life
The magic thrill
And ecstasy Of vibrant life:
The power inherent in the human frame
To rise triumphant from the primal clay:
The vista-glimpse Of dawning DAYS ahead
And conscious energy to do
Life's golden deeds.
Tostand frm-footedon the sunlit ground

HIGH EXPLOSIVES IN SHELLS.

There have been two ways of trying to dam
age a war vessel with shells fired at her. One
is TO batter the armor from the outside, and the
other is TO try TO penetrate the plate and ex-
plode the shell after it is inside the hull. To
pierce the armor il is of course necessary To
project the shell with sufficient force. The gun
from which the latter is discharged must give
il high initial velocity Something depends.
too. on the form and material of the projectile.
The addition of a soft cap has also been found
10 facilitate an entrance.
Penetration under certain circums tances being
a possibility then, it has been necessary to
guard against one great danger. The contents
of the shell might explode in consequence of
the shock of discharge-in which case ii would
wreck the gun-Or as a result of striking the
exterior of the ship. Much effort has accord
ingly been devoted TO reducing the sensitiveness
Of the contained explosive 10 avert both Of
these contingencies, detonation being effected
by means of suitable time fuse.
An explosive was tested at Sandy Hook the
other day which is meant to work in the old
fashioned way of doing damage externally It's
inventor Willard S. Isham, claims for it greater
power than has ever been developed hitherto.
One account of its composition makes 90 per
