Hymns YouO Ought to Kno U
Harvest Home. =
BY DEAN HENRY Afford,

[This song might well be called the Thanks
giving Hymn Of the English people. It was
written in 1914 by the Rev Henry Afford, DID
London, Oct. Z, 1810-Canterbury Jan. r.
1910. He was then dean of Canterbury cathe
draI, a post which he held until his death
Afford is we'll known both as a preacher ant
a writer. His Greek Testament was fol
many years standard work. He is also the
author of several fine hymns. In Englisf
churches this hymn is always sung at the har
vest home services, which correspond to ou1
Thanksgiving day gatherings. It has also com,
into common use in the church services on ou
the tune est George composed by Georg,
J. Elvery.] .~
Cone, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home!
AL is safely gathered in
Ere the winter storms begin:
God, orr Maker, doth provide
Or our wants to be supplied:
Come to Gods own temple come
Raise the song Of harvest home
We ourselves are Gods own feld
Fruit unto his praise to yield:
Wheat and taros together sown
Unto joy or sorrow grown:
First the blade. and then the ear:
Then the full corn shall appear;
Lord of harvest! grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be. 5.
For the Lord our God shall como,
Ald shall take his harvest home;
From ! is field shall purge away
All that doth offend that day;
Give his angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast:
But the fruitful ears to store .-
In his garner evermore.

Devotion to old-fashioned methods
Of teaching the "three r's'' is very apt
to encourage propensity to grumble
at new things, especially at new ways
Of teaching in the public schools. That
being So, possibly there may be frowns
at decidedly novel way Of teaching
the the subject subject Of designing, the parstticuf ~
animals. It has been observed that
there is nothing new under the sun, but
verify the like of these studies in un-
natural historyo has never been seen
before, at least not outside of the land
Of alligators and pyramids. Yet there
is method in the seeming madness.
The squaring Of animals comes under
the head of drawing, and is in reality
system Of conventionalizing nature
forms for borders, portfolio covers, the
leather work that is having such a run
OF popularity just now in the Christmas
work of the schools, and in short what
ever the students want such designs for.
The work began with the conventional
izing of flower forms, a very pretty
and successful method of obtaining ar
tistic designs of a surprising degree of
originality. Squaring flower forms,
that is, the perfecting of design for
wall paper, book cover or what not
occupies about four lessons. First the
students study flower, bud, leaf and
various other parts Of the plant, and
make sketches Of them. These are sim
plifed in the following lessons, ane
finally drawn primly in an enclosure Of
rectangular partitions, so that the fnaI
result is simple but symmetrical de
sign Of flower with perhaps leaf ane
stem in conventional form, showing
perhaps characteristic droop or tilt o.
lift. 1t is also the purpose Of the teach
er to obtain artistic shapes of back
ground, SO that either design or back
and the effect be pretty and artistic
That is how the squaring began.

Since vague rumblings of discomfort

ing up unusual quantities of coal. 1t is
significant that an official, high in the
Reading Coal and Iron Company, recent

pany would. have on hand a supply of
anthracite sufficient for one year. Should

the miners would find themselves face
to face with greater uphill fight Stor-
ing up of coal by operators shows they
will be more prepared for the crisis in
1906 than they were in 1902, and the
miners chances of producing fuel fam
inc will be diminished accordingly.
The miners Offset this, however. by
declaring that, as the soft coal agree
ments, where such have been made, will
expire simultaneously with the life of the
anthracite strike commissions decision,
the United Mine Workers, which have
jurisdiction in both hard and soft coal
fields, will inaugurate a universal strike.

ECLIPSE OF SUN.

Clear Sky Makes Observation Easy.

Savants and laymen over a major
portion of the civilized world gazed
on the sun as eagerly as Zoroastrians
Wednesday. The blazing life giyer
passed behind the moon in his daily
march across the heavens, the result
being the phenomenon so important
to scientists and so mysteriously fasci-
uating for the multitude total
eclipse.
The United States was not fort-l-
nate enough. however, to be in the
path of totality. Only the skirt, or
penumbra, of the moons shadow
passed over this country, while the
complete shadow, or umbra, took
slanting path from Hudson's Bay to
Southeastern Arabia. In this tract,
from which the direct rays of the sun
were totally blocked for a few min
Gtes, many parties of astronomers set
up their apparatus in the hope of
making observations which would
render more intimate the worlds ac-
quaintance with the mighty ball of
fire about which it revolves. Three
American expeditions, stationed in
Spain and Morocco, were among the
number
From Assouan, Egypt, comes the
news that the British, American and
Russian expeditions enjoyed perfect
weather, and made valuable observa-
tons. The period of totality was two
minutes and twentyfour seconds.
The corona, or fiery atmosphere, which
envelopes the sun, was of moderate
size. In the City of Tripoli, which has
had the novel experience of two total
eclipses in the past five years, the
American, French and Italian scien-
lists also were aided by a cloudless
sky. The total eclipse lasted three
minutes and four seconds there
Ten minutes before the period of
totality the inexplicable shadow bands
began to flicker over all smooth sur
faces OF the earth, and were particu-
larly clear. The corona was developed
evenly. and Professor Todd of Am

nit to Instructions.
The result was not brought about by
the initiative of Baron Komura, the
lister Takahira. 1t was ordered by the
japanese emperor himself.
Komura and Takahira wanted an in
demnity. They claimed and claim now
that by this action Japan has lost the
legitimate fruits of her victories.
Although President Roosevelt had
much TO do with bringing about these
overwhelming concessions by the Japan
csc, it is known that Baron KanekO, the
japanese financial agent, who is in this
country and who has been so persistent
visitor of the President, went over the
head of Baron Komura and reached the
ear of the emperor through Marquis Ito,
one of the elder statesmen.
The japanese officially explain their
remarkable concessions on the ground of
humanity. This is as good an official
explanation as any other. The fact is
that the present ENJOYS, Komura and
Takahira, were beaten at home by the
representatives of Kaneko and the infu-
ence of Marquis Ito.
The Russians are jubilant. They came
to Portsmouth with nothing to lose and
everything to gain, and they practically
dictated their own terms.

10 pay some sort of an indemnity, stub
bornly and persistently refused. He won.
1t must be said that he did not expect
to win, for he said that he was thunder
struck when Baron Komura waived the
indemnity. Although Witte is a peace
man, he would have allowed the war to
go on indefinitely before he would have
paid a cent of tribute.
He granted all the obvious demands
Of Japan, granted everything Japan had
requested before the war. Then he made
the argument that Russia is not a con-
quered nation, that this war is a colo
NAL war and that Russia can continue it
indefinitely.
Witte had no Baron Kaneko work
ing against him in this country. He
goes home with the glory of settling a
war that has crushed the Russian ar
mics, destroyed the Russian fleets, driv-

expedition, made many excellent pho
tographs. Bailey's beads-a ring Of
bright spots sometimes seen around
the rim Of the moon just as it COM
pletely covers the sun-were not in
evidence
Astronomers gathered at Almazin,
Spain, from all parts of the world to
observe the total eclipse of the sun.
Camille Flammarion, the French as
trcnomer, was assisted by his wife,
NJ Flammarion said after the eclipse:
Clouds prevented a perfect Observa-
ton, but it was accurate despite them.
The design of the corona was not so
beautiful as that of the eclipse Of 1900,
but the contrast was greater. In the
eclipse of 1900 the sky was black. To
day it was gray. l found the corona
was decidedly circular, typifying max
imum solar activity.
"In 1900 the corona was oblong,
showing minimum activity. To-day L
saw flames protruding to nearly a
height of $4,000 kilometers (31O71H
miles,. They were flames of blazing
hydrogen gas. They protruded from
the side in 1900. 1 saw the double
corona, but not the famed irregular
ity of heat"
In Washington. d. c., the sun was
covered with clouds during part Of
the period Of the eclipse's duration.
Professors Skinner and Hall, and
Messrs. Hall and Hammond studied
the phenomenon from the United
States observatory. New York and
Boston were deprived Of even
glimpse of the eclipse by clouds and
fog. Observations were made from
the university observatory in Cincin-
natl, and four groups of sun spots,
each of considerable size, were seen.
At Columbus, Professor C. Lord pho
tographed the eclipse. Kansas City
and st. Louis also reported favorable
conditions. A clear sky gave the as
tronomers CT the Yerkes Observatory
at Williams Bay. Wis, excellent OPP
portunity for observations.
Whether any epoch-making discov-
cries have been made, such as the
| finding of the intra-M ercurial planet
Vulcan, or the analysis of the compo-
sition of the corona, will not be ascer-
tanned until the expeditions make the

Territory to Which Peace ENJOYS
Have Attached Much Importance.
Sakhalin island is a strip of territory
go miles long. At its southern extrem-
ity it il separated from the Japanese
island of Yezo by La Perouse strait,
twenty-seven miles wide. AT its north
ern tip, where it inclines slightly toward
the Asiatic coast, it is but FIVE miles
from the Russian mainland. At this
point it controls the estuary of the Amur
river. Virtually the whole littoral of
Amur province is sheltered from the
open ocean by this island, much as Con-
necticut is sheltered behind Long Island.
Together with the Kurile archipelago,
which belongs to Japan. Sakhalin forms
an irregular letter V, of which the base
rests on La PerOuse, the two arms in
closing the sea of Okhotsk.
In seeking to account FIR the impor-
tance which attaches to this bleak and
desolate possession, it is necessary to
keep these facts in mind. Sakhalin is
the last link needed to complete the
chain of Japanese possessions which
screens the entire Siber an and Chinese
seaboard from the Amur to about the lat
itude of the Philippines. With this link
in its possession, Japan would have the
Sea of Japan completely hemmed in on
the northeast, while its control Of the
Sea of Okhotsk would be equally secure.
Russia's opportunities for using the
mouth of the Amur would depend on the
dictates Of Japan, holding territory on
the other shore within g,,nshot of the
mainlandS That Japan should covet
this island as essential to its complete
control Of the Asiatic littoral is not sur
pressing. Fur hermore, Japan owned Il
half century ago and was crowded out
