Old Bibles In Holland Churches.

Old BlpIeS IN 6oiidno CnurcneS.
In every Protestant or Reformed
Church" that I.have visited while
upon a five weeks tour through the
Netherlands l have been pleased to
see several large quarto Bibles In
every pew upon the wide shelf or rail-
ing in front.
1t Is very convenient and enticing,
therefore, for each person at services
upon the Sabbath to open a large
print Bible when the lesson therein
Is read or the text announced and l
observed that 1t is the universal Gus
tom to do SO. Some of the Bibles l
opened were of as old a date as the
seventeenth century. Twice I found
that the Bible in my pew CHANGED to
be of the year 1870, and most Of those
used are of the eighteenth century.
Only one as late as 1910 did I find.
All the English text l found to
have the old style of "s' and general

Why Bombs Explode.

When left alone to it's natural func
tions nitrogen pursues a perfectiy
peaceful course, but when man sue
ceeds in capturing 1t and combi2inN
It with other elements it becomes a
dire uotentiality for evil, as is OBJ
yiousi in the recent events of the wal
In the Far East and in the crime IN
the streets of Moscow.
The love of freedom, so to speak,
characteristic of nitrogen is terribly
exemplified in the explosion OF tho
bomb in which it is imprisoned and
hound to other elements. On the
slightest provocation-a spark, a
shock. a fuse-the nitrogen suddenly
expands from seemingly nothing, az
regards the space which it occupies
into %infinity. This is, in reality, whal
happens when dynamite, lyddite q
other unstable nitro compounds ex
plode when hurled in shells in var
fare and in bombs in desperate at
tacks on human life.
Nitrogen, against its natural dispo
sition, Is locked up in an uncongenial
space in these compounds, from whicr
It Is set free by very simple means u
an enormously expanded gaseous STATE
with deadly effect, returning, in act
to its normal peaceful mission once

This Little WorId.

I don't suppose that many people
know that the homes of Francis Scott
Key, the author of the "Star-Spangled
Banner" and John Howard Payne, the
author of Home, Sweet Home" were
within se~venty-ive feet of each other
in Washington. They lived In G
street, between Third and Fourth and
a Half, and we're neighbors for a long
time. Of course Key got his fame
first, for Payne did not write Home,
Sweet Home until ne went to Tunis,
Algiers, as a United States Consul,
by nine years. Their bones rest in
the same cemetery, Oak Hill at Wash
ington. Payne, who was an actor and
dramatist, wrote a great many things
and played and sang in many OF them
himself. Home, Sweet Home" was
a song written in an opera by him, but
is by no means his best composition,
though it is the only n that Is likely
to be remembered. The fame Of Key,
however, rests entirely on his one
hymn, the "Star-Spangled Banner" l
am telling this story to illustrate one
idea: that is, that though this world
is large, 1t is very small when you
come to think of it; that though heir
productions are the nations hymns,
are known all over the world and are
destined to live, at least, as long as
this country lives, they lived within
sound of each others voice during
their lives, and their bones are rest
ing almost side by side.-New Orleans

Underwood Travel System.

This system is travel of the truest
kind, yet it does not utilize either ship OF
railroad. Such a statement is so extra
ordinary as to seem at first unbelievable,
but many have proved its truth. To ex-
p~erience sensations of pleasure or pain in
the presence of famous objects and places
which inspire thoughts and produce states
of feeling enriching life and adding to hap
piness is to travel truly. BY making use
of a simple scientific principle, and spend
ing twenty years in its development, there
has been perfected the means Of actually
securing right in ones home these very
experiences and benefits which actual
travel gives.
DIR. James 81. Breasted, of Ct:cago Uni
versity, says: "By this means the joys
of travel are extended to that large class
Of our people who thirst for an acquaint-
ance with the distant lands of other ages,
but are prevented by the expense in
volved, or by the responsibilities Of home,
business or profession"

markable system, and strong endorsement
