Guilty or Innocent.

Apropos of the recent court-mar-

esting point connected with the trial
of naval officers. After the voting as
to the verdict the officer who is being
tried Is brought into the room, and
a glance tells him his fate. His
sword was placed on the table at the
beginning of the proceedings, with
the point toward him and the hilt to-
ward the president of the court. If
now the sword Is reversed, the hilt
toward the prisoner, he knows that
he is honorably acquitted, but If the
weapons point is still toward him the
accused knows that he has to await

Electric Power From Wind.

From very early times the wind
has been used by man as a source
of mechanical power, and so far is
1t from being superseded by other
forces that projects have recently
been put forward to utilize it to a
far greater extent than ever, especi-
ally for electric lighting.
With this object in view. an In
vestigation of the average state Of
the wind has been made in England.
1t has been found that for approx
mately half the time the mean wind
velocity is 10 miles an hour, and
for about one-third of the time Is
miles. In the winter the averages
are higher. The great difficulty
arises from the calm periods, which
may last three days or even a week;
but it has been shown that economi-
cal lighting plants can be based upon
wind power by providing gasoline
motors to take up the work when
ever the wind fails.

Cultivation OF Rubber.

The cultivation of rubber trees Is
on the increase, and rubber may at
no distant time become entirely a
plantation product. 1t is said that
there are in Ceylon over 100, 600 acres
which have been planted in rubber,
and in the Malay Peninsula about
half as much more. 1t is estimated
that Mexico has about 100000 acres
planted in rubber, making in all
about 275,0O0 acres, which shUlld
produce before long about one-quar-
ter of the worlds probable consump-
ton. The results from these plan
tations seem to have been SO sue
cessful that the work might be en-
larged, as this would not only rem
der us less dependent upon the nat
ural forests, but would stimulate the
Brazilian rubber-producing states to
begin artificial cultivation there.

The Great Lesson of Life.

What vast proportion of our lives
is spent in anxious and useless fore
bodings concerning the future-.eith-
er our own or those of our dear
ones. Present joys, present bless
ings slip by and we miss half their
favor, and all for want of faith in
Him who provides for the tiniest
sunbeam.
Oh, when shall we learn the sweet
trust in God that our little children
show us every day by their confiding
faith in us? We, who are so muta-
Bile, so faulty, so irritable, so unjust;
and He who is SO watchlul, so pitt
full, so loving, SO forgiving? Why
can not we, slipping our hand into
His every day, walk trustingly over
that days appointed path, thorny or
nowery, crooked or straight, know
ing that evening will bring us sleep,
peace and home?-Phillips Brooks.

A Good Bread Box.

Occasionally the housewife finds that
she has no convenient place to set the
ordinary tin bread box, and some
other receptacle must be prepared
for the staff of life" If you have
a drawer large enough to hold the
bread, this will answer very well, by
having it lined with tin by the tin
smith Half of the top of the lining
should be on hinges so that, when
the drawer is pulled out half way,
the cover can be lifted up to put the
bread in or take it out. The bread
keeps fresh, and no dust or mice can
possible get at it, and when the box
is closed and pushed back it Is en-
tirely out of the way.
Another drawer would also serve
well for the cakes.

The UnruIy Chagres River.

The great problem of the constrUc-
tion of sea level canal, or of any
canal at Panama, is the disposition
of the water of the Chagres River and
it's tributaries. AS we have seen, the
canal is to be constructed in the val
ley of this river for twenty-seven
miles, when it leaves the Chagres and
follows the valley of it's tributary the
Obispo. At the point where the Cha
gres Valley and the canal diverge.
the river discharges in the dry season
as low volume as 800 cubic feet
second, but it has been known at
times of flood to discharge, in round
numbers, $4,000 cubic feet second.
This must be taken care of in some
way so as not to Overwhelm the ca
nal. The rainfall in that part Of the
Chagres Valley in which the canal
lies is upward of 1870 to 140 inches
year. Below the point where the ca.
nal leaves the valley CT the Chagres
there are about seventeen streams,
the discharge from which must either
be diverted from the canal or allowed
to enter it.--From Secretary Taft's

The Cross.

In our days there are many who
would leave the cross out of Chris
tianity. They want an unsuffering
Christ, a teacher, an example, a
friend, yet not an atoning Saviour.
But the cross is at the heart of the
Gospel. We can be saved only by
the One who suffered for us. With
out shedding of blood there is no re-
mission. Then in our lives, too, we
must accept the law of the cross. We
must die if we wish to live. We must
lose if we would gain, We must suf-
fer if we would reign. We can help
others only through self denial and
cost.
