Homer Toberman Deaconness home, Los Angeles, Cal. A letter from this point says: "The home has been the means of doing much good. More than one has gone away declaring their intention to lead better life because of their stay here." What a beautiful monument in this, our first deaconness home! Not chilled mar ble in the silent cemetery, but one continuous stream of Chrst-like love and mercy.
 The presiding elders of south Geor- gia conference hold annual mission ary institutes, to which they summon, by kindly invitations, the conference corresponding secretary and all the district secretaries of the Home Mis- sion soceity of this conference, and then give them patient, attentive hearing concerning the plans and work of Hhis important factor of southern Methodism. As a natural re suit. the brethren over there are con- ing fully to understand our purposes and realize the worth and importance of home mission efforts in conjunc- tion with their own fields of labor Many new auxiliaries are being or ganized, as the fruit of cooperation on the part of district secretaries and pastors.

Maxine Elliott, who has taken a
house in London and will leave the
stage for a time to enjoy social life,
is famous as an actress and also for
her beauty. Miss Elliott, who, upon
the stage, retains her maiden name,
under which she became famous, is
the wife of Nat G. Goodwin, to whom
she was married in 1898. She was
born in Rockland, Me, and was but Is
when she first appeared on the stage.
Her serious work, however, did not
begin until 1890, when she became as
ISOLATED with E. S. Willard. Suisse
quently she became a member of Days
stock company and rapidly won dis
tinction, which has been enhanced by
her performance in her husbands COM
pany. Dramatically and socially she
is a great favorite in both the United
States and England.

Copper in Water Kills Germs.

In looking to the publication Of the
water supply, either the local farm sup
ply or the water for a great city, re-
markable results are announced from
the application of a new method OF
destroying heterogeneous in water,
which was discovered about year ago
by Drs. Moore and Kellerman, of the
Bureau of Plant Industry at Washing
ton. 1t consists simply in dissolving a
certain quantity of copper sulphate in
the water to be purified. Fortunately
the dilution can be made so large that
no deleterious effects are produced up
on the water intended for drinking
purposes. One part of copper sulphate
to eight million parts of water Is the
proportion generally used, and 1t is
pointed out that, in order to obtain
any effect of copper from such a mix
ture a man would have to drink forty
gallons of the water.
During the latter part of 1904 more
than fifty sources of water supply in
the United States were treated by this
method with gratifying success. Not
only are dangerous bacteria thus de-
stroyed but the green growths that fire.
uuently choke up small ponds are also
eliminated. Most important of all is
the promise that by this treatment the
germs Of typhoid fever may be entirely
removed from any source of water
supply.
In the case of a lake or pond the
chemical is applied by suspending bags
filled with copper sulphate over the
L t. rod
about. in two or three days the cop
per is entirely precipitated from the
water but the beneficial effects Of the
treatment last for weeks or months
1t has been suggested that this dis
covery may raise the question whether,
after all our mothers were not right
although they did not understand the
scientific aspects of the matter-in pre-
ferring copper kettles for preparing
many kinds of food.

closely. The Centrifugal needed not
the torpedo nets. II passed through OBJ
structions as though it were spirit. We
saw IL under the bow Of the Frederick
Wilhelm, the largest battleship Of the
neet. For half a minute it lay there,
surrounded as ever by that whirl OF
sparkling bubbles. Then 1t darted
away toward another. So interested
were we IN watching the uncanny move
ments OF the strange boat that we did
not observe the confusion on board the
Frederick, nor on the others that were
successfully visited. LeFevre noticed
the great ships settling low in the
water and spoke of IL to me- There
was something terrible about this de-
stroyer. Inside of fifteen minutes every
vessel in that fleet had been stung, as
1t We're, by this great hornet of the sea,
and every one was sinking. The sea-
men were throwing themselves Off;
boats were putting out; RATS were flung
into the sea. Presently the Centrifugal
finished her work and we saw her
whirling away, stopping here and there
to smell a submarine and to kiss it or
to sting 1t as 1t happened to be friend
or foe. What a sight, Twenty-four
German ships sinking, sinking, going
down to eternal silence. One after an
other they vanished. The torpedo boats
came to the surface, saw what had hap
pened. and put out for home and neu-
trail ports. The Centrifugal, the grim
destroyer, vanished. The great battle
was over. And neither side could be
said to have won. 1t was practical au-
Inhalation for both. Two magnificent
fleets of modern war vessels gone, alb
solutely gone; a quarter of a billion
dollars in battleships and thousands of
brave fellows dead, only to satisfy the
chickering's Of diplomats-sacrifices to
foolish notions Of honor.
To LeFevre the operations of the Cen
trifugal were a triumph for France, and
he was enthusiastic in his delight. But
l cared little one way or the other |
was tired Of 1t all. Life had been too
strenuous for me. l wanted quiet for
while, and naturally my thoughts
turned to Aimee, my sweetheart. Was
she safe?
LeFevre insisted that I come with
him to his home, but 1 refused. Turn
ing to the east we made our way rapid
ly to the French coast. Here we settled
to earth in the open country, and after
bidding LeFevre adieu ] rose again and
made my way east ! had but one
thought, now that the battle was over,
and that thought was putting into ac-
ton. My objective was Bethel, where l

But had ] known what else awaited

fleet, and thither we followed.
But whatever work awaited this ter
ror must be done quickly. The Ger
mans were wonderfully accurate with
their Calnite aerial bombs. Ship after
ship quivered, split open and sank like
broken teacup. The force of the cal
mite was so great that it operated for q
distance of a hundred yards on every
side, more than once sinking several
of the smaller ships at one explosion.
LeFevre groaned as, looking back, ne
saw one of the largest battleships col

laggard!"
The Centrifugal moved swiftly. At
intervals it came up with a submarine,
paused a moment to ascertain whether
German or French, and acted according
ly. If French, it passed on; if German it
darted at the victim, touched it, and as
quickly darted away. What terrible
power it exerted could not understand
but at that fatal touch the enemy sank
There seemed to be no escape, no single
chance. Presently this swift and silent
messenger of death was in the thick Of
the German fleet. Looking back l saw

for an opening. LeFevre had been so
confident Of his ability to manage his
aeroplane that he had set out in spite Of
the heavy wind that kept back all the
less venturesome aeronauts He was
determined to witness the battle Just
before he saw me he had attempted
to turn and found the steering gears
damned. Had 1 not rescued, him he
would have probably found watery
grave.

and cold, so / drew the roof over part

the impending battle, LeFevre being
familiar with the explosives and ap-
paratus in use on both sides
The Germans were depending largely
upon their late invention, the Calnite
aerial bomb. This projectile was to be
fired by compressed air from mortar
like gun, and being fitted with a gyro-
scope would maintain its elevation for
a distance of eight miles The bomb
was two feet in diameter and about
three feet long, and moved so slowly as
