room next to mine swore that my
snores disturbed him from midnight
till 2 o'clock and that he heard me
turn over in bed at 8, and so l was
honorably discharged from custody"
But about it being queer?" was
asked.
why, all the people on both sides
were mistaken. I was not outside the

was in the hotel"
But you were somewhere"

night like a couple of idiots, and

and she said she only wanted me and
a humble cottage, she was married to
a red-haired butcher within a year and

Progress in Steam Turbines.

That the actusl displacement of the
reciprocating steam engine by the
steam turbine for many purposes is
proceeding at a rapid pace in this
country is indicated in the statement
that single company, manufacturing
but one of the several types of steam
turbines in the United States. took
orders within the last half year for
turbines for generating electricity hav-
ing a capacity of $1,000 kilowatts, or
nearly 10000 horse power Three
of these engines are for a Brooklyn
power station and will be the largest
ever constructed. 1t is interesting to
note in this connection that wonderful
as is the transformation in power
mechanism, there are engineers who
predict a still more radical change in
the not distant future in the develop
ment of power from gas engines. This
form of engine has been developed
to a marked extent in Europe, espe-
cially in Germany, and American and
English engineers are just beginning
to awake to the possibilities in this
direction. According to one author
ity, 1--WE may yet see steam engines
and turbines sent to the scrap heap"

Charles Wesley's Seven Thousand Hymns

from place to place upon his duties
in the church. In those days graphite
pencils and flowing pens were un-
known, and he wrote with a piece of
soft lead he always carried with him
on any old scrap of paper. He lived
to be so years of age, and was born
in 170S.
The hymns of DR.. Watts come next
in number to those of Charles Wes-
ley, namely, 697, but they mostly ap-
pealed to children, although never for
gotten in later years.
The fact is that Wesley commenced
writing his sacred hymns at the age
ca 30.
The Methodist hymn book in this
country, as well as the Wesleyan
hymn book in England, being so re-
plete with the hymns of Charles Wes-
ley is accounted for by the fact that
both Charles and his brother John
were clergymen of the Church of
England, but John, taking exception
to some part of the ritual of that
churche went out to preach to the
multitudes, and aftel he had organ
lied what his followers called the
Wesleyan church his brother Charles
joined him and wrote the hymns, to
which were added the favorite hymns
of other sacred writer's.

as he hung his feet over the stern of
the tugboat E. S. Booth, and puffed
nonchalantly at the pipe of peace.

Founder OF Church Indefatisable
In His Sacred Writinss-Com-
menced at the Age of Twenty
nine.

Wonder is always expressed and
doubts arise when the statement is
made that the Rev. Charles Wesley,
clergyman of the Church of England,
actually wrote seven thousand hymns
during his lifetime. This statement is
verified by the publication over his
own signature of thirty-nine books of
poetry. sacred and secular 1t is doubt
full if there exists hymn book adopt
ed by any religious denomination
which does not contain several of his
sacred songs.
Thomas Moore wrote ve-y few sa-
cred songs, but of thesL few one
stands out pre-eminent and will be
sung till time be no more by the peo-
pln of this whole earth. This song,
that always reaches the heart, is
Come, Ye Disconsolate," found in al
most every hymn book and never ac-
credited to the author.
The Rev. Charles Wesley must
have been writing hymns all his life,
and it is recorded of him that he
wrote on horseback while travelling

will readily agree with the above state
ment. 1t was, what can properly be
termed the opening of the season in the
realm of social circles. There were five
hundred or more who packed the hall to
do honor to the Elks' method of enter
tanning.
The grand march was feature worth
of f1attering comment not only for the
manner in which it was conducted but
for its spectacular splendor. The Elks
were attired in Prince Alberts with silk
hats as head gear and this together
with their badges made them look quite
aristocratic. The glazed floor was as
slick as glass and the superb music by
the Elks' orchestra only added to the
pleasure of the dances.
Everybody seemed to vie with each
other in praising the Elks for the man
ner in which they we're so royalty enter
tanned. The success is due largely to
the following committee and no little
amount of eulogy is being heaped on
them for their untiring efforts: ]. w.
