When Jesus gave the disciples the
drst principles of his kingdom In the
Sermon on the Mount, among other
things he gave them instruction on
the subject of prayer. In Matt. G.6
he tells them that the truest prayer
ia in the secret place alone with the
Father-no ear but that of Him
whose eye has seen all we have done
and who knows our motives, as well
as the things we do and the things
we ask for. At Penlel, as recorded
In Gen. 80. 24-3l, is the place where
Jacob met God face to face and learn
ed that the promises were to be full
filled to him through Gods mercy,
and not because Of his own cunning
or power. Alone with God by the
brook Jabbok, his nature was so
changed that the willy supplanter be-.
came the prince who had power with
God and man. When Elisha would
gain a victory over death in behalf
of the son of the Shunammite woman
he shuts himself away from even the
anxious mother, alone with his task
and his God. Full of suggestion for
us Is the conduct Of our great
Exemplar when "he sent the multi
tudes away, and went up into a noun
tain apart TO pray; and when the
evening was come he was there
alone" The wilderness campaign
was fought and won by him alone.
and Gethsemane settled the conflict
as alone with God he said, THY will,
not mine, BE- done"
Secret COZ munion with God is the
secret of power in life. 1t is then
that we learn his will for us, and
catch inspiration for the performance
Of our tasks. The hiding of his pow
er Is found In the secret place. The
business of my life has to do with
him My innermost life concerns him
and myself. No one else has any
right to enter its mysteries In the
secret place ! get direction for my
personal life. Men of power In the
Kingdom of God are the ones that get
In touch with the current of power in
the secret place. Public prayer, with

prayer for the Spirit to interpret the

alone with nature gets Gods truth
out of nature for the needs of the
body. Man alone with the Book gets
Gods truth for the soul.

Living ON Air.

A very distinct advantage about
motoring is that It does not give one
an appetite. Most open-air exercise
sends one home as hungry as hun
ter; and II one eats largely In these
days of strict regime and restricted
diet, all sorts OF terrible things are
sure TO happen---at least are prom
ised by the doctor. It ID pointed out
in daily contemporary that while
all the good effects OF working up an
appetite are produced by long drive
in motor, yet the amount OF food re-
quired to satisfy what seems TO be
oue's huge hunger is actually very
small. The air itself feeds one, and
air neither upsets ones digestive ap-
paratus nor does II supply one with
adiposs tissue. London World.

Henri Moissan. the French chem
list. has recently continued his ex-
periments in the distillatiou. with
the electric arc. of various metals
and metalloids. He concludes. as the
result of these researches. that there
exists no known substances which
cannot be distilled in our labora-
tories. The ebrllition of iron is very
difficult to produce, yet Moissan has
distilled 400 grams of iron In twenty
minutes with an electric current OF
1000 amperes at pressure OF ITO
volts. In all cases the yapors OF the
metals condense In the form OF a
crystalline dust, possessing all the
chemical properties of those metals
when reduced to the form OF powder.
Moissans experiments throw light
on the probable temperature or the
sun, where iron and the other chem
ical elements exist In the state OF
Sapor The maximum temperature
OF the electric arc is about $500 de-
grees Centigrade. But. owing to
the greater pressure produced by
grayitation on the sun. 1t is probable
that the temperature OF ebullition Of
the elements there Is higher than on
the earth.

EVEN HEAT IN TEMPERING.

In the process OF annealing and
tempering steel 1t is desired to con-
troll the heat, which Is applied with
great precision. If the temperature
is too high, too low, or too fiuctua-
ting the object under treatment may
be ruined. To produce the best re-
suits. in hardening tools for high
speed cutting, or gears or pinions.
continuous heat of 2340 degrees Far
enheit must be maintained for con-
siderable time. The old methods of
securing this directly. with gas OF
coke, presented difficulties which
made them highly Objectionable. One
of the recent attempts to improve on
them is described in the London
Standard.
An English company is introducing
an electric furnace to do the work.
In this apparatus a metallic salt or
mixture is brought into a molten
condition by means of an electric cur
rent passing through it, thus proyid-
ing bath in to which the pieces of
metal to be heated are placed. The
electric current flows through every
part of the bath and the tool alike,
thus insuring perfect uniform heat
ing. BY simply regulating the cur
rent 1t is possible to attain any tenn
perature between 1850 and 1880 Far
enheit. The furnace consists OF a
fireproof rectangular tank for hold
Ing the salt bath, which is built into
fireproof cement contained In an iron
box.

switch. The furnace, when cold, can
be brought to white heat in about
half an hour, and the makers assert

it can be controlled will appeal to
tncse engineers who are desirous of

Men who wear silk or "stoveplpe'
hats know that the temperature ia.
side the hat is much higher than
outside; but it has remained for q
French physician to measure the diff,
ference. He has discovered that When
the thermometer registers ninety de.
grees in the shade in the outer air II
stands at one hundred and eight de.
grees in his silk hat, and that when
1t is slxty-eight outside It is eighty
eight inside. From these differences
he concludes that the unnatural heat
causes many nervous diseases. Other
persons have supposed that the heat
OF the hat made men bald.

1t is reported from Paris that
Prof. Behring has discovered a new,
method of sterilizing milk, without
boiling it or destroying any of its
essential principles. The method is
based on the powerful qualities Of
German perphydrol simply oxy-
genated. One gramme per liter of
this substance is sufficient to destroy
all noxious germs. MIX thus steril-
lied can be kept a long time, and IL
not injured by transportation. but
cannot be drunk until 1t has been
gently warmed and drop OF cata-
lytic substance added. DIR. Behring
has proved that light has a very
harmful effect on milk. whether ster-
llized hot or cold, and he recon-
mends that 1t should be kept In a
dark place or in red or green bottles.

President Roosevelt has written a
letter assuming that the reform measures
to be put before the legislatures will not
limit the salaries of the officials Of the
Insurance companies. He does not
want the salary of his friend Paul Nor
ton cut down from $50, 900 to $4,000 a
year as President of the Equitable Life
Insurance Company. $500 70 is enough
for the President of any life insurance
company. Some Congressman wish to

Civil Service Bill.

The Republican administration civil
service bill was introduced in the
house by Assemblyman Henry D.
Thompson of Mercer. This measure
follows closely the recommendations
on this subject in Governor Stokes
message. 1t is provided that after nine
months from the approval of the act
all promotions and appointments in the
civil service under the state govern
ment and after three months in munic-
qualities shall be made according to
merit and fitness, to be determined by
a competitive examination. A COM
mission of three persons as the civil
service commission of New Jersey
shall be appointed by the chief justice,
and these commissioners shall receive
SIS per day. The civil service is di-
vided into classified and %unclassified
service, and rules are prescribed for
examinations by the commission and
for the requirements of those exam
fned. 1t places in the unclassifed
list all heads Of departments and also
excerpts certain personal secretaries
whose work requires them to act for
the heads of departments. All these
are to be appointed without examina-
ton. A referendum clause is inserted
by which the act only applies to those
counties and municipalities which vote
to come under its provisions.
Mr.. Hillery introduced in the senate
a measure providing that a verbatim
report of the deliberations in both
houses be prepared for publication.
The same senator presented another
bill which provides that the president
Of the senate and the speaker of the
ouse shall appoint four stenographers
to each house for the purpose of re-
porting h proceedings. The salary
OF each stenographer is fixed at S1.25O
for the legislature. The Office of state
printer of legislative proceedings is
created in a bill by Mr.. Hillery. The
state printer shall print 5000 copies of
the reports. Similar bills to these were
presented in the house. Mr.. Alderman
introduced a bill which authorizes the
president of the senate and the sneak
er of the house to appoint annually a
lawyer to draft bills, examine and re-
Wis proposed bills and to advise con-
corning proposed legislation, the speak
er and the president to fix his COM
%pensation.
To Prevent Corrupt Politics.
A measure by Mr.. Minturn is to pre-
vent corrupt politics in connection with
the election of public officers and pro-
yldes that no corporation shall con-
tribute money or anything of value in
aid OF the election Of public officers.
The measure requires them to file with
the secretary of state each January a
certificate that they have not violated
this provision. Banking and insurance
companies are TO file like certificates
