Man ID Member Of Mineral Kingdom,
That the minute traces of metallic
substances found in living bodies are
not accidental, but essential to the
performance of the functions of life.
Is asserted by Herrera, French BIZ
ologist. He goes so far as to say that
zoology and botany are but chapters
Of mineralogy, so important is the role
played in organic life by these so-called
inorganic substances. For instance, all
the phenomena Of movement in an
animal are, he asserts, due to oXida-
ton. AS to nutrition, it is impossible,
he says, when the food is deprived of
its mineral elements. Dogs fed on
substances from which the salt and
other inorganic matter has been care
fully removed die of starvation. At
the bottom Of our vital processes, as
serts this writer are fermentation and
oxidation, or their analogies; and these
depend on the presence of certain min
eral bodies in the tissues. Even the
role Of pepsin in digestion seems to de-
pend on the presence of iron. In short
the organic substances on which life
depends are, he says, prepared in in
organic workshops with mineral re-
agents." and thus living being is
practically a member of the mineral
kingdom.-Success.

nal service in New York City, and the
trials demonstrated that it will ulti-

to develop a speed Of 100 miles an
hour.
The official tests of the big. 95-ton
electric locomotive took place on a
stretch of four miles Of especially pre-
pared track near Schenectady, and In
the presence of many leading railroad
officials and hundreds Of deeply inter
ested spectators. This extraordinary
locomotive the most powerful trans
portation engine in the world, pulled
a train of four heavy coaches at the
rate of 72 miles an hour, and only
the shortness of the track prevented it
from attaining an even higher velocity.
In the cab Of the locomotive when 1t
left its shed for the trial was w. K.
Vanderbilt, Jr., who worked the con-
troller. The engine was pronounced
a great success and all who watched

A magazine writer says the church
is in crying need Of business clergy
men," He explains that congregations
of which he knows have grown from
almost nothing to great size because of
the business ability of the pastors
chosen to lead them. He thinks the
Influence of the church will wane and
dwindle unless men fitted to deal with
administrative and financial problems
enter the ministry in large numbers.
We do not remember ever having seen
the commercial trend of the present
age better illustrated than In this ar
ticle. Probably the writer would con-
slider a great poet, great scholar or a
great statesman a failure unless his
success were attested by the number
Of his disciples or the size of his bank
account. Business ability is a good
thing to have, whatever ones calling,
but the need of the church Is more true
spirituality in its leadership.

their colonies has proved an incentive
to the development Of the resources of

How Odors Move from Place to Place

That odors move with the air, or diff
fuse through it like gases and do not
pass through it in waves, as sounds do
or in swiftly-moving particles like the
radium emanations. seems to be con-
clusively shown by recent experiments
on the propagation of scents through
small tubes. In such tubes there can
be no general motion Of the air, and
the rate of travel of an odor is ex-
tremely slow. That of ammonia took
over two hours to get through a tube
a yard and half long. The presence
of the ammonia could be detected
chemically at about the same time
that it's smell was noticed. 1t seemed
to make little difference In the speed
whether the tube was held horizontal
ly or vertically, or whether the odor
moved up or down.-Success.

1t may always have been so, but it
is especially true to-day, that this coun-
try is producing higher type of wom-
anhood than Of manhood. In all our
towns and cities there are more young
women whom you would welcome to
your homes as daughters-in-law than
young men whom you would welcome
as sons-inlaw. There are reasons why
this Is so, but there Is no excuse that
1t Is so. There is nothing in the world
so well worth looking after as the boy,
and there is no human being in the
world so neglected. We have pro-
vided little place, scant room for him.
He Is welcome to the home as baby
and he Is welcome as a man, but there
Is little welcome for him as a boy.
We chaperon our girls and carefully
guard them against unworthy boys,
but we leave the boy to choose for him
self his associates and his achieve
ments. We give him much sage ad-
vice, perhaps, but little sympathetic
guidance. The loneliest, most unloved
human creature is the boy. Girls are
naturally winsome, gentle, companion
able. They win their way in homes
and hearts. But the boy, noisy, awk-
ward, mischievous, is invited into few
homes and feels none too much at
home in his own. About the only door
that swings with sure welcome to the
boys, about the only chair that is
showed near the fire especially for the
boy, about the only place where he is
sure of cordial greetings where he
ought not to go. 1t is one of the hard
est things in the world to get hold of
boy-to get sure grip on him. 1t
is hard to win the companionship, the
faith and confidence of your boy. He
has almost occult powers of observa-
ton and conclusion. You think you
know him through an occasional
glance, but the chances are he knows
you far better than you know him. He
is hungry for companionship and he
will have it. You can't chain him
away from it. He wants the COM
panionship of boys, and nothing will
take its place. If the rime of selfish
ness has so incased your heart that
the joys and hopes of your boy cannot
enter into it, the boy is to be pitied,
but so are you. Few fathers and sons
are more than fairly intimate acquaint-
ances. 1t is always the fathers fault.

WHY HEROES FAME is ACCIDENTAL.
BY r. p. O'CoUuor,

There are hundreds in every great city, and in
every country there are thousands of men,
women and children with a latent capacity of
heroism who go through life unnoted or despsed
because no accident has evoked it. Again, the
recognition or irrecognition of those heroisms
which accident has evoked is often accidental
