Athletic Feats on the Moon.


Did you ever get to thinking that you
would enjoy sudden translation from
the earth to the moon? If you have,
did you ever figure on the wonderful
feats Of muscular strength with which
YOU could astonish our luminary neigh
bors, providing gravitation would have
no more effect accordingly there than
here? Let US figure: The moon only
weighs one-eightieth part as much as
the earth. Grayitation must therefore
be correspondingly less. If therefore
man weighed 140 pounds on this
earth he would weigh but fraction
over twenty pounds according to tne
scales used on the moon. If, however,
his muscles and frame remained the
same as they were before being trans
ferred to our silyery sister world ne
could "astonish the natives with dis
astounding athletic and muscular feats.
He would be able to shoulder an eie-
phant Of the regulation size and TO
yank a small mountain out by the
roots. The buoyancy OF his body would
De so great that athletic feats Wouid
lie easily accomplished. BE could run
q mile in something less than two Sec
onds or could by q single bound leap
over a wall twenty-four feet high with
out greater exertion than would be re-
ouIred here in clearing one only t"o
feet in height.

HORSESHOE NAILS.
The Way They Are Turned Ont b,
Expert Workmen

The Way They Are Turned Ont by
Expert Workmen-
Three million separate shoe nails are
often cast from ton of metal. OF the
smaller sizes 1000 nails are nodded in
q single mold, and an expert workman
will make eighty mo!ds in an ordinary
working day, thus turning out 10000
separate nails.
When the metal in liquid state IS
poured into the mold it runs through
the sand in passages provided in the
mold:ng process. The whole Of the
nails are cast together and are, when
removed from the sand, connected by
q network Of iron one with another.
In this condition the iron is as brittle
as glass, and very little force is re-
ouired to separate the nails from the
network which holds"them together.
They then have to undergo the proc
ess known as annealing. They are
mixed up with hematite iron ore, which
is in q powdered state, put into iron
pots and placed in an anneallng fur
mace, sort Of kiln Here they remain
for some days, care being taken to so
regulate the heat to which they are
subjected that the iron will not be re-
melted, but brought very nearly to that
condition. The action Of the raw iron
ore upon the brittle casting is marvel
Gus. After cooling 1t can be bent with
out risk Of breaking, and It becomes g
useful and serviceable article.

BABIES IN ARABIA.

yheir Charms and Perfumes and the
Shaving OF Heads.
Life has exceptional difficulties for
the babies OF Arabia, especially for
those who are of sufficiently high rank
to be brought up according to all the
ancient customs Of their race. A royal
baby's first toilet there consists in
winding a bandage about it's body aft
er 1t has been carefully bathed and per-
fumed.
II the child be a girl, on the seventh
day Of her birth, holes, usually six in
number, are pr1cked IN her ears, and
when she is two months old heavy gold
rings are attached to them, to be worn
throughout her lifetime except during
periods Of mourning for relatives. On
the fortieth day the bahy's head Is
shaved, and the disposal Of the hair IS
regarded as a very weighty matter. It
must not be burned or carelessly
thrown away, but buried, thrown into
the sea or hidden away.
The fortieth day marks turning point
IN the chiid's life. Heretofore it has
only been seen by few, but low 1t may
be seen by anybody and is regarded as
fairly launched on the tide Of existence.
Several charms are attached to its body
for protection against the "eVil eye"
Everything the child uses is perfumed
and covered at night with jasmine
and before 1t Is used fumigated with
amber and musk and sprinkled WITH

AN OLD LEGEND.
The Ancient Story OF LiIith, Adam'a
Firat HeIpIneet.

11CSPIAGSk.
The old Talmudlsts had a queer leg
end concerning the first pair created
by the Almighty According to the
story, Lilith was Adams original help
meet" and Eve was the after considera-
ton. The raluud says that Lillth was
created just as Adam was-out Of the
dust of the earth Soon after the
breath OF life had been brcathed into
her ears (you Will remember that the
Bible says 'noStrils' in Adams case)
her entire nature changed to such an
extent that she became a veritabie de-
mon. About this time the devil came
along, and, recognizing in Adams wife
all that was necessary to make q first
class governess Of the internal regions,
persuaded her to quit the first man and
90 with him into the upper regions OF
the air" To US this seems like queer
place for the location Of hell, but that
is the direction the pair is said to have
taken when they left Adam as the sole
occupant Of the garden. At home with
the king Of the sulphurous domain, she
became the mother Of devils and then
deserted Pluto and became ''specter
Of darkness"
After this Transformation her sole de-
light appears to have been In the de-
struction Of innocent babes. 1t is even
said that our word lullaby is cor
ruption Of the oriental term, ''lilla abb"
which means 'tayaunt," or "begone,
Lilith."

QUICKSILVER MINING.

An Occupation That Quickly Doonns
the Workers.
The chief quicksilver mines In Eu-
rope are in the Spanish town Almaden,
which is an Arabic word, meaning "the
mine Of quicksilver" These mines
were formerly worked by the Iberians
and after them by the ancient Romans.
Between 1e45 and 1s43 the Spanish
government employed galley slaves in
them, an occupation that soon ended IN
death. The fumes Of the mercury pro
duce constant salvation, and the sys-
ten becomes permeated with the
metal.
At first the victim Is seized with
tremb2ings and then the teeth drop out;
pains IN the bones follow and then
death. The annual yield Of mercury is
100000 pounds, to produce which
1000 men are engaged in this unhealthy
employment
After Almaden, so far as yield OF
quicksilver Is concerned, comes Idria,
an Austrian town, twenty-eight miles
from Trtest. These mines also were
once worked by criminals, who, owing
to the terrible qualities Of the mineral,
expired after about two years service.
There are now nearly 500 miners en-
gagged In the work at Idria. They are
induced to enter the mines by high
pay. A pension is allowed when they
are disabled, and provision Is made for
their widows and children.-Pearson's.

Gunpo~der.

The explosive nature Of gunpo"oeI..
which is made Of charcoal. sulphur ana
saltpeter, is due to the fact that "nen
fred the charcoal and sulphur are
burned az the expense Of the oxygen
In the saltpeter, much heat is devei-
oped and large quantities OF gas are
nroduced. This gas exerts great pres
sure on the sides Of the gun; hence
It's disruptive or propulsive effects.
When sunpowder is fred in gun the
EXPLOSION Is not instantaneous. The
expansive force Of the gases produced
acts on the shot all the time it Is NOV
Ing along the barrel and gradually in
yreases its velocity. If the explosion
were so sudden as to be practically in
scantaneous the greater part Of the
forces would be exerted mainly on the
sides Of the chamber containing the
powder and not, as is actually the case,
on the shot.

Church and Politics.

Rev. DIR. Alexander McGregor. at the
Park Congregational Church OF st. Louis,
recently spoke on THE Church and Poll
tics" from the text, Eye are the Salt of the
Earth
THE union Of church and state has
proved a failure in countries where it has
been tried" said he. 1T Is not the mis-
sion of the church as an organization 10
take part in politics. State and church in
Italy came into opposition in the attempt
at union, and there has been similar result
in France.
Even in England the results of such
attempts have been unsatisfactory. In the
United States we are unhampered in this
way, and so should develop better type
of citizenship.
II DO not believe that II is the duty of
the pulpit of church, such, to side with
one faction or another in a political cam
paign But 1t ought to speak out in un-
hestating terms for the essentials of moral
ity for an awakened individual conscience
and for an awakened public conscience.
1t is in this spiritual leadership that the
church finds Its true mission.
These are days when there Is a grow
ing conception OF what a man means to
his fellow man. The brotherhood of man
ia coming to be understood as never be-
fore. We are living in time when we
are waking up to our responsibilities. and
iniquity- and graft in high places can no
longer shield itself behind its gold.
THE great need is for united church
to continue this work begun. The time
will come when we win look back on these
days and wonder why the good people
would permit the civic evils which now
exist. May God hasten the day. We can
hardly think what 1t would mean If all
the forces of Christ were aroused TO 40
their duty We can hardly measure what
might be accomplished. We will surely
not much longer continue to endure the
vices In our cities. The church OF God Will
be aroused TO bring about the publication
of our civil life"

OUR PROSPERITY.
What the Abundant Crops Mean to

Of the ground comes our wealth. In these
years OF abundant prosperity the farmer
takes from the earth, each harvest sea-

and more than third Of this enormous
sum represents the two great crops of the

It is to the commercial community. Rail-
way men need to know in advance the out
come of the harvest. that they may pre-
pare for the transportation of the crops to
the markets. Bumper crops mean big tom
mage, not only of products from the farms
to the consumer, but also of merchandise
from the manufacturing towns to the
farms, bought by the farmers with their
produces. When railway men are assured
