mule cars, there arc 100 double truck
electric cars in service and more will
be added as necessity demands.
The power is generated in steel
and concrete structure 100 by ITO feet,
located on an island In the Pasig river.
This powerhouse contains three 1 900
horsepower turbines, each directly
connected To turbo.generators. A
fourth machine of 1000 horsepower
capacity is now being installed, and
present indications are that another
machine of this size will be required in
the immediate future.
lust south of the island is a steel

custom in Manila, in the form of a
hollow square, and equipped with Of

WATERMELON PEST.
Destructive Blight on Vines in Rogue
River Valley.

Prof. A. B. Cordley, entomOlogist
at the State Agricultural college at
Corvallis, or as he is called by the
high appreciation, the College Bug
man, arrived in Grants Pass Wednes-
day evening, in response to the re-
quest of the melon growers that he
investigate a disease that is rapidly
killing the watermelon vines in Rogue
River valley, says the Grants Pass
Courier.
Early Thursday morning G. A. Cobb
who is a large grower and dealer,
with his buggy took Prof. Cordley to
the various melon fields in the yicin-
ity of Grants Pass. In every field Wis
tied the effect of the disease could be
seen. In the field owned by Mr., Cobb
and his partner ]. A. Maddux, Prof.
Cordley found fully 10 per cent of the
vines affected while the 40 acres of
watermelons on 7, P, Lees place, was
all affected and the vines are dying
in such numbers as to preclude the
possibility of single melon being pro-
duced. No other field was found so
badly affected, the dead vines num-
bering not over 90 per cent in any one
field
Prof. Cordley brought a number of
the diseased vines to town with him,
having brought with him from the
college his high-power microscope and
examined them. He found vast num-
bers in the diseased vines of the spores
of a fungus that has a long entomo-
logical name, but which is known to
the melon growers of the Carolinas
and Georgia as the melon wilt.
These spores first make their ap-
pcarance in the root of the melon and
then are carried to all parts of the
vine by the water in the circulatory
tubes. They develop in these tubes
in few hours to countless millions,
and so choke the flow Of sap that the
vines die in one days time from lack
of moisture the same as though de-
prived Of its roots.

1t is difficult to describe in fitting Ian

The spicy breezes" which are said to

with equal softness and perhaps no
less spiciness through Zanzfbar's beau

abounds in richest vegetation, but the
Glove forests are its real beauty spots
And what grateful change their fra

and genuinely bad smells of the stuffy

Zanzibar is not like an American city
in the width of Its streets and the ar

scarcely a choroughfare in the whole
place wide enough to permit two vehi-
cles to pass, and the system of santa
tion Is almost as primitive as that of
the garden OF Eden; hence some of the

are not far away. Zanzibar has no
docks or wharfs. All goods are landed
or shipped by means OF lighters. The

the fall necessarily the same. Vast

BASIC TRUTHS OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

In his lecture on Christian Science
at the Spokane Auditorium theater
yesterday afternoon, DR.. Edward A.
Kimball of Boston, was greeted by
large crowd, many people standing.
The lecture was given under the
auspices of the First Church of Christ
Scientist, and City Engineer Charles
Mcintyre presided. DIR. KimbaIl Is
one of the most noted of Christian
Science lecturers.
DIR. Kimball spoke in part as fol-
low;
In order that you may most readily
appreciate the import of this address
you are asked to contemplate for a
moment the scene upon which Chris
tian Science has made its entrance.
The history of the human race may
be classified as a tragedy. II It were
to be epitomized then one long mono
tone of protest against misery ene
pitiful appeal to God for relief, and
one final moan of defeat would tell
the story. There are few flowers, a
little sunshine, perhaps, but beyond
the foreground is the vista at the end
of which is the grave-the mystery.
The people OF earth, unreconciled
to what seems to be an intulerable
fate, have turned in every cunceiva-
BILE direction in their effort for deliv-
erance from evil, and they have fail
ed. thus far, to find the way. There
are still the same tears. broken

of outrageous fortune. Men continue
to live. sicken and die according to a
philosophy Of doom which declares
there is no salvation this side of the
grave, no way out of the hen on earth
but to die out
Enlightened Belief Concerning God.
A consensus of enlightened belief
concerning GOD is that he is one su-
preme, infinite. self-existent, all in
elusive. spiritual, Individual conscious
oeing-the sole creator of all that has
actual existence. Also that God is
good. life, truth, love. omnipresent,
omniscient and omnipotent: that ne is
the only iawmaker and holds in his
grasp the destiny of all men.
Christian Scientists subscribe to all
these postulates without reserve, and
yet our religion is in some respects
quite different from that of others.
Why? Why different If we agree on
these essentials?
The difference is in the amplifica-
ton and application. 1t is in this re-
spect that most religious sects and
systems diverge from each other.
There are hundreds of these sects.
There are 140 Christian sects alone
many of which have been in the most
violent antagonism toward each other.
There is, therefore, no unity of relig-
ious belief with which we can compare
Christian Science. but l shall explain
wherein 1t is different from all others.
In her effort to enlarge the human
concept of the infinite God. Mrs. Eddy
has added somewhat to the technical
definition of deity, and affirms. among
other things, that God Ks divine mind

The Spinning Mule.

Samuel Crompton, boy of sixteen,
copied the best features of the spinning
machine invented by Hargreaves and
Arkwright, added to them some Of his
own and, after three months of anxious
and secret experimenting. produced
the first spinning mule, so called be-
cause 1t was kind OF hybrid between
Hargreaves' jenny and Arkwrlght's
water frame. The raw apprentice lad
was. however, no match in cunning for
the cotton lords, who soon found out
the secret Of his new machine and
shamelessly robbed him of the fruits Of
his ingenuity. Many years afterward,

Need Of a Better Way.

NpAhial
Need of Better Way.
To this same stricken people, and in
this very age, comes Christian Science
to declare that they can get out nat
urally, lawfully, scientifically; 1t
comes as a message of hope and prom
ise to a race which is in supreme
need.
We submit the proposition that hu-
manity which prays for different re-
suits should also consistently pray for
and expect a different way, and we
contend that Christian Science. which
promises and produces the prayed for
results cannot logically be respected
simply because it also discloses a diff
ferent way.
BY means of literature, teachers
and lectures, explanation has been
made concerning the points of agree
ment between Christian Science and
other forms of religious and scientific
belief, but IL is my purpose tonight to
emphasize the fundamental differ
ences also. and thus enable you to
make comparisons for yourselves.
1t is self-evident that certain things
have existence. 1t is generally known
that they have cause. origin and basis
by reason of which they exist. Some
people declare the cause to be a blind
force; others that it is some sort of
intelligence. and theology afffrms that
1t is conscious intelligence OF entity
which many designate God.
Christian Science is Tangible.
Christian Scientists who have been
the first to heal malignant cancers,
know more about the modus than you
know about the circulation of the
blood or your ability to walk.
Why did it not come sooner? It
did come sooner. Jesus understood
the healing Christianity; declared and
demonstrated it. The people did not
fully understand him and he told them
they could not, but he prophetically
declared the time will come when ''ye
shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free" Since then
men have prayed that 1t might be re-
vealed, and now we believe 1t has been
revealed.
sooner? Why did not Adam have a
telephone, a steamship. a piano, and
the thousand other things of today?
Simply because he didn't know
enough. In consequence OF law. sub
stance and possibility, all these were
possible to him II he had only known
enough to make the discovery. The
principle and rule of Christian Sci
ence mind healing were before Adam.
They only needed to be discovered and
applied.
After this brief and fragmentary al
lusion to these differences I ask what
think you of the difference?
1t really means the supremacy OF
God and the impotence of error. 1t
means life and health instead of sick
ness and doom. 1t means joy instead
of tears. It means a lawful Christ in
demonstration of palpable salvation
for a man who ought to be IKE his
maker.
