When all the world was sending its
congratulations to President Roosevelt
upon the conclusion Of the treaty Of
peace between Russia and Japan. with
which his name viii ever be insepara-
bly, linked. DIR. Clark felt that it was
only right that Christian Endeaverers
should have some part in these felicita-
tons, and so he sent TO the president
the following letter:
President Theodore Roosevelt:

The cplstle Of Paul TO the Romans is

John WCsley's study of Luther's com

no disregard the feeling of the weak.
nor should the weak presume to sit in
judgment upon the strong. And this
principle suggests the fact also that
each man should think and act for hun

upon the basis OF what another thinks
or does.
The tendency in all times has been
for men TO excuse themselves ON the
ground taat others are not what they
ought u be. The strong carry their
freedom 70 excess just TO show that
they are n3t TO be bound by the opin-
ions Of Others. and the weak usurp the
place of judge over them or do what
they believe TO be wrong because some
one else does it. But If in either case
SIN is committed it is not excusable.
What others do or fail to do cannot be
the standard of our lives. And yet

ONLY ONE IN ODD BUSINESS
But One Man Who Knows How to Write Insurance on Fly
 wheels.

Only one company issues fiywheel in. surance, because only one man can write it. He is monarch of all his in- spectors survey; his right there is none to dispute. says Leslie'sMaga- zine. Two years ago he was a professor in small engineering col lege with some theories and figures of his own about fywheels.
 His success is largely due to his own formula. for fywheel insurance is al- most pure mathematics. When a wheel is revolved at high enough speed the centrifugal force exceeds the centip- etal and the wheel flies apart. Solid cast iron explodes when the speed at the rim is, roughly. three miles a min ute. A thick rim explodes just as eas. fly as thin one of the same material. Wood exrlodes at greater speed, jointed iron at less.
 The underwater allows a rim speed of mile minute. one-third the ex- plosion rate. permits Q two-foot pulley wheel 16 revolutions a second. while 1t keeps a 16-foot fywheel down to two. A jointed wheel is allowed still less The underwater has only to name the number of revolutions he authorizes, and to proportion his premium to the size of the wheel. The larger the wheel. of course, the more destructive its explosion.

MAKES PEAcocKS SILENT.
Dealer Furnishes Lovers of the Birds 1 with Those That Do Not Cry.

Peacocks for the lawns of country houses are becoming more popular every year. There are dealers who make speciality of these decorative birds. There is even one dealer. says the Philadelphia Bulletin, who sells noiseless peacocks, for which he gets readily SIS apiece.
 The one objection to the peacock is his hoarse and piercing cry. The dealer in silent peacoeks operates on the birds throats in such a way as to quiet them forever. The opera. ition is not painful nor perilous. and yet it increases the peacock's value fourtold.
 A good peacock can be bought for s15. The bird eats corn and barley. Its actual living expenses are not great. but 1t is apt at any time to die. The peacock in tIis matter of sudden death is almost the monkeys equal. ! They who keep dozen or more pea. cocks have among them always few plain little peahens. Hens sell at a lower rate than cocks, for they are not SO beautiful.
 , Her eggs are large and brown. and when she is nesting the peahen must be fed by hand.

HOW TUNNEL WAS COOLED
Intense Heat of Idaho Bore Mod erated by Hydraulic Spray ing of Walls.

The boring of the OK Bow tunnel in Idaho is one of the great engineering feats of the age. The Payette river at this point makes loop. and by putting tunnel through 1,200 feet. the river bed is left dry for two and quarter miles. It is the intention to mine the river bed for gold, reports the Scientific American.
 Ordinarily the putting through of this tunnel would be a simple matter. but at 300 feet from the upper end and 250 feet from the lower hot water was struck. The heat at first was from 95 to 1o5 degrees, increasing as the work progressed to 132 degrees at the hottest point. Different fans and blowers were experimented with to cool the air in the tunnel. but without success until the superintendent of the work thought of spraying the walls of the tunnel with water pumped from the river.
 Very simple pumping apparatus and common garden sprays were used with complete success. The tunnel is 2s feet wide and nine feet high, and the flow of hot water amounted to 75 miners inches. The cold water cooled the hot water, and 1t was pumped out with common pumps.

PEACE IN BALANCE
President Roosevelt Is Still
 Pleading With Czar.
HOPES FOR SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME.
Formal Disclaimer of Lamsdorn's Al. leged Refusal to Concede Anything Gives Brighter Outlook to
 the Situation.

OYSTER BAY, \. r., Aug. 26.-Two emperors, the one at St. Petersburg and the other at Tokyo, are the deter mining factors in the pending peace ne gotiations. Although the negotiations temporarily are suspended at Ports mouth, they are proceeding actively through President Roosevelt at Saga more Hill. He is in practically coli stant communication with the St. Pe- tersburg and Tokyo governments. By both of the warning nations his good offices have been sought, and his ef- forts to bring their plenipotentiaries into accord and thus prevent a faii- ure of the peace conference are unre- hitting.
 Early in the day the president had an extended conference with Baron Kaneko the recognized confidential agent of the Japanese government in this country. Neither the president nor Baron Keneko would discuss the na- ture of the interview While the baron's expressed views of the peace negotiations were not optimistic, he left distinct impression that the last word by no means had been spoken and that hope of successful issue of the conference still was strong.
 Both of the belligerents. he said, de sired peace-Japan peace with justice, ol Ial that Japan had no wish to do anything to humiliate Russia. but expressed the belief that the Japanese terms were quite reasonable and that no further concessions would be made.
 After the departure of Baron Kaneko President Roosevelt was engaged with Acting Secretary Barnes for two hours in the consideration of dispatches re- ceived and in the preparation of those to be sent.
 The disclaimer of the Russian for eign office of the statement purporting to have been made by Count Lams- dorff, minister for foreign affairs, de claring that Russia would pay no in demnity to Japan under any guise or make any cession of territory was re ceived by. the president with satisfac. tion. It indicated no willingness on the part of Russia to accede to Japan's terms as to indemnity. but the dis claimer is regarded as leaving the way open for further discussion of terms that may lead to a satisfactory conclr- sion of the conference.

EXPENSIVE INSTRUMENTS.
Handsome Los Angeles Home Has Piano and Organ Costing
 Small Fortune.

A piano that, so far as known, is the costliest in the world, was lately placed in the music room of handsome home in Los Angeles, Cal. It is concert grand, the case fashioned in Louis XIV. style. and heavily enameled in 14-karat gold leaf.
 More than two years elapsed between placing the order in New York and its delivery in Los Angeles. The instru- ment is so exquisitely toned that it's bell-like clearness and depth of melody would distinguish it instantly among a score of fine pianos It cost s10,000.
 The case is the work of a noted New York master of decorative art. The face of the lid is adorned with an allegorical scene-Apollo with his harp, surround ed by goddesses and cupids, central among them being the face of the own CTS son and heir from studies made when the boy was two years of age.
 A local factory has about completed for the same home a s15,0oO organ, the pipes of which will be gold enameled, like the piano. An electrical attach ment will make possible the playing of both organ and piano from either the first or second floor of the house. The attachments will be connected also with organ chimes" on the open stair case, and with an echo above the stairs

 For an ordinary establishment of this nature half an acre of ground is sufficient for a small start. An acre would be better Due attention must be given to the location with respect to soil, water facilities, and opportunities for securing fuel and other essential things required in general work. In most cases half an acre of ground un- der such circumstances can be bought for $500. To equip properly a small greenhouse would require another $500 For miscellaneous equipment, including tools, outbuildings and stock s200 would be necessary for a start Thus, there would be invested in the neighborhood of s1,200. If the man himself wished to live at the place, as he should do, it would probably re. quire from $500 to s, 900 for house. In producing a variety of crops as in- dicated above, the gross income from such a place should be at least s1,200 per annum.
 The crops handled should be gen. eral assortment of bedding plants, a small collection of ornaments-such as palms, ferns, etc, which could be sold as pot plants-and carnations, roses,

EARLY CRICKET IN INDIA.
As Played in Seventeenth Century the Game Would Hardly Be
 Recognized Now.

Cricket. which has now taken such . firm hold in India among both Flu. ropean and natives alike, has been played in the east very much longer than most people would imagine. In the New English dictionary, for ex. ample, there is a reference to game taking place at Aleppo as early as the year 1876. As played in the sev. enteenth and eighteenth centuries, however, the sport would hardly be recognized by it's votaries of the pres. ent day. Thus, one Clement Downing, the author of "A Compendious History of the Indian Wars" (published in 1730, describes his experiences of the game as practiced on the Cambay shore as follows: Though all the country round was inhabited by the Culeys, we every day diverted our. selves with playing at cricket and other exercises, which they would come and be spectators of. But we never ventured to recreate ourselves in this method without having arms for ourselves and being guarded by some of our soldiers lest the country should come down on us." Nowadays, fortunately, armed sentries are not required on Indian cricket.pitches.
