spsr,a Correspondence Of Every Evening

Special Correspondence Of Every Evening
Dover. Jan PIN the course of his
morning sermon Ycslerdav, Rev. J.. E.
Barrett, pastor of Wesley NJ J. Church,
touched upon the evil of bribery at
elections. taking for his text This is "a
faithful saying and worthy OF all acccpta-
ton. that Christ came into thc world 20
save sinner" Tim I, 10. lie said.
"Ihe fact of thrist's coming into the
world has never been succes -iuly denied.
He came not % establish % material
empire but TO save sinners All kinds OF
sinners the submerged tenth the cen-
tml tenth and the upper tenth. Many
seem TO think that only The submerged
tenth need salvation, but Christ will have
a far harder time to save the upper tenth,
because they seem to think they need no
salvation; they arc good enough and
salvation is needed only for the poor
following the lower tenth The Phansees
of Christ's time thought the same thing
and Jesus said unto them. The publicans
and harlots 20 into the kingdom of God
before YOU. The sinners in the sub
merged tenth look 10 the sinners in the
upper tenth for example and they get IL.
One Of these poor fellows in the lower
tenth looks up and sees a sinner in the
upper tenth taking money by the thou
sands from a life insurance company
trust funds held for the benefit of the
widows and orphans and giving IL to a
political party, and he thinks If that man
can do SO. he can take a few dollars when
he gets the chance, and that he has as
much right to steal as the fellow who is
higher up; and he has, but the man higher
up is the mone guilty Of the two, for he has
more light and influence.
"Again. when one OF these sinners in the
lower tenth sees one of the sinners in the
upper tenth drawing check for $4,000
and giving the money to dobauch electors
20 buy votes. to buy human beings, like
YOU buy cattle, he, poor fellow who has q
hard time TO buy food and clothing, thinll
& mo more harm for him 20 sell his vote
and thus get "a little OF that $4,000, which
he 80 sadly needs The man drawing the
check, is the more guilty of the two
Christ came TO save all sinners CONNER
cial sinners, political sinners, social sinners
sinners everywhere, in the country wide

PHOSPHORESENT BACTERIA.


eve already know fully 80 microbes
and about half as many mushrooms which
give light, says Prof II. Molisch. in "a
recent number of the Revue Scientifque.
of Paris, translated by PublcaOpinion.
"Ihe cause of the phenomena in all cases
IS the same, very brilliant bacterium.
the bacterium phosphoreum. Both the
luminosity and the development Of the
bacteria depend on the presence of certain
salts and organic bodies" Prof. Molisch
says be has succeeded with the bacterium
phosphoreum in making a practical and
useful lamp For this purpose ! took a
glass Erlenmeyer balloon containing from
two TO four quarts, into which placed from
200 to 400 cubic centimeters of gelatine
with salt peptone. The mouth of the
vessel was closed with a cotton plug and
then the whole was sterilized. After
cooling and before the gelatine had be
come solid planted a culture of bacterium
phosphoreum Then holding the
balloon yearly horizontal. turned il
slowly under a spigot Of cold water; in a
few minutes the gelatine had covered the
entire inner surface. The balloon was
then left In cool room, and az the end of
day or two the entire inner surface was
covered with numerous colonies of bac-
terra. The vessel now emitted a beauti-
ful bluish-green light. and have recently
found that the intensity Of the lamp may
be greatly increased if the bacteria be
sown in points about one centimeter apart.
and If there be added to the gelatne from
] 10 ? per cent of peptone and one-half per
cent Of glycerine. Such lamp keeps its
brilliancy for about 70 days in a cool room
and by its light one may tell the time. read
the degrees ON a thermometer and read
ordinary print The light is very eco
nomical and almost lacking in heat rays.

powder mills, in mines and other places. %

Prof jacob of Columbia said last
night that the most careful observations
had failed 10 indicate any connection be-
tween the appearance OF the spots and
changes in the earth's temperature. He
said that th temperature ran in averages,
it being shown that there would be APP
proNimately the same degree of heat in
period of five years. although there would
be periods below the averages and above
The professors statement as 10 averages
was borne out at the Weather Bureau
yesterday by the records of temperature.
