A MIGHTY REVOLUTION,

Case of J. Pierpont Morgan Shows
 How Worldwide Business May be
 Run From Home.
 For several weeks J. Pierpont Nor gan has been overseeing his vast and far-reaching business from the mag nificent library which he has con structed in connection with his Madi- son Square house. It has been easy for his partners to communicate with him over the telephone in regard to every important question arising in the conduct of the business, and if 4 per- sonal interview should be necessary with them or with any client of the firm, an appointment at the library is almost as convenient and much more seclusive than it would be at his of flee, or club.
 This is one of the notable advan- tages of the telephone. Few people appreciate the marvellous changes which are being brought about by ex- pansion of facilities of transportation and communication. In the old days when business was local being con- lined to one community, the banker not, infrequently had his counting room in his own house, and the mer- chant lived over the store, or if the business and residence were separated. they were not so far apart as to pre- vent the banker or merchant from walking from one to the other, so that

he could take his noon meal with his family.
 But with trade extending over states and continents and seas, this became impracticable. The business man was compelled to live more and more in his office and shop. That became his real home. The the telegraph and the telephone, the news ticker and news slip, the greater agencies of com munication, were introduced, and with these it is possible to return to some thing of the old time union of home and business. The very company of modern commerce therefore is. by these conyeniences, leading to the old time simplicity and comfort. It is possible now for a great international banker like MT. Morgan, to carrw on a world wide business, putting in force policies that may change the fate of empires, from the seclusion of his own library There he may be as com pletely in touch with the world and all it's news as if he were actually standing in the market place. He has there not only the comforts and de- lights of his books and art treasures, but he can combine the advantages of privacy, the opportunity for quiet thought, with instant touch with all the might forces which move the busi- ness and politics of the world.
 What he can do on large scale is possible for all men to do in less de- gree. The telegraph, the telephone, and the news ticker, while uniting the ends of the earth, are at the same time distributing powers. In time it is not improbable that they will break up that concentration which now com pels each different trade to get to- gether in one place. Each mans office will more and more be where he may be, in his library, his club, the rail- road car, ocean steamer, and hotel for everywhere he will be abye by these tools of genius to communicate with any person and any place. Thus publicity works for privacy, and communication makes for seclusion. and action can be combined with re- tirement. Moreover, we are in the very infancy of electricity, and the time may come when the telephone will be walking companion, will be carried in the pocket like note book, and while walking the crowded avenue or by shaded brook, or lying on the sands of the sea, one may be able to communicate with princess or com mand the work of multitudes thous- ands of miles away.-Wall Street Journal

NEW ISLAND RISES.

Connected With the San Francisco Earthquake, Thinks This Writer. "A volcanic island has just come to the surface from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, writes J. Mayne Balti- more in the Technical World Maga- zine. When we are accustomed to think of geological epochs in terms of thousands of years; and the countries that we know were formed countless ages before historic times, an island which was born with the present year becomes the center of the worlds in- terest
 Fishermen came to Dawson City, Yukon in the early summer, and told of great clouds of steam and smoke around the Aleutian group of islands, and said that the water was seethng and boiling for miles around. Later, after the first commotion had ceased and the smoke partially cleared awaly, an island was discovered in the
 
 ron, and it is now thought that the Hateful 18th of last April, when San Francisco was ruined by earthquake, was the birthday of the new baby island.
 Recently the U. s. Revenue Gutter Perry was cruising in these waters, and several officers from the boat landed on the island at considerable risk. They found the island to be about 700 feet high and about 900 feet in diameter. They sent in partial report to the department of the treas ury at Washington, with the state ment that more definite information would be furnished as soon as the land had cooled sufficiently to allow surveying to be done. The article is accompanied by a photograph of the new island taken by one of the officers of the Perry

THE cRocoD1LEs STRONG JAY

THE CROCODILE'S STRONG JAW.
 Sir Samuel Baker in his Wild Beasts says that the power of the jaws of the crocodile is terrific. Once he had the metal of large hook, the thickness of ordinary Telegraph wire, completely bent together, the barbed point being pressed tigthtly against the shank and rendered useless. This compression was caused by the snap of the jaws when seizing a live duck which he had used as bait, the hook being fastened beneath one wing. On one occasion he found a fish welging seventy pounds bitten clean through as if divided by a knife. This, again, was the work of a snap from the jaws of a crocodile. M. Paul Bert once made experiments on the strength of Q crocodile's jaws by means of a dy- namometer. He found that a cro- oodile weighing 12O pounds exereted a force of sos pounds in closing his jaw The lion has an enormous power, On one occasion an African traveller push ed the butt end of his gun into a lions mouth, and the pressure of the jaws cracked it as though it had been struck by steam hammer.

THE SILK sUPpY OF SPIDER.
It secretes Three Kinds, White Brown
 and Yellow.

It Secretes Three Kinds, White, Brown
 and Yellow
 The spider is able to secrete at least three colors of silk stuff-the white which forms the web and the enswa- thement of captives and the egg CO., coon; the brown mass that fills the CO., coon interior; and the tlossy yellow between that and the inside of the sac, The glands end in minute duets which empty into spinning spools regularly arranged along the sides and upon the tips of the six spimerets, or spinning mammals" or spinning fingers" which are placed just beneath the apex of the abdomen. The spinnerets are movable and can be flung wide apart, or pushed close- ly together, and the spinning-spools can be managed in the same way.
 The silk glands are enfolded in mus cular tissues pressure up on which at the will of the spider, forces the liquid silk through the duct, into the spool. whence it issues as a minute filament, since it hardens upon contact with the air. One thread as seen in the web may be made up of number of fila ments and is formed by putting the tips of the spools together as the liquid jets are forced of the ducts. When the spinerets are joined and number of the spools are emptied at once their contents merge, and the sheets or rib bons are formed which one sees in the enswathement of captive or the making of Arglope's central shield. This delicate machinery the owner operates with utmost skill, bringing into play now one whole unfailing deftness and mastery complete Dr. H. c. McCook in Harper's.

HOG AND BOILED TURKEY.

"The hog,' said Baltimore judge lis the geratest animal in the world. Every part of him has different fa- vor. and each flavor is better than that of any other animal in the world"
 Better than a terrapin?"
 "I don't call terrapin an animal. The terrapin is creation. But to re- turn to the hog, all of him is good from his tail to his front feet. Chine is great dish, but it doesn't compare with jowl. Jowl and turnip tops in the spring can be beaten by only one thing and that is boiled hen turkey. Nobody but a Yankee or heathen would roast a hen turkey in the spring. Hen turkeys are fat before they lay, and the havors is delicious Properly cooked and served, such A dish is fit for kings and nations have gone to war for less cause. ."-Balti- more News.

AT BATTELL CHApET,

Key. Dr. William J. Dawson, former- " of London, preached the sermon at Battell chapel yesterday morning. He
 took his text from the third chapter of
 Exodus and the second verse: And be- hold, the bush burned with fire and the
 bush was not consumed" Dr. Dawson said:
 It was in this experience of the burn- ing bush that Moses learned the lesson that was to make him the deliverer of his people. The flame signified power intensity purity and enthusiasm--th the Eonly flame that burns, but does not con- |sume. Moses did not lack the vital ele- ment of faith in the right, but he did lack the flaming passion for God. It is so with us to-day. Lack of wealth, lack of health, lack of friends, is not our greatest evil. It is lack of faith in
 God. We should measure our creed by its intensity, and not by its length or its breadth.
 One thought that troubled Moses much was that he had reached an ad- vanced age of life but still he must content himself with tending sheep in wilderness. It is the thought that depresses tens of thousands of young men to-day. They do not advance, and 1t is the hardest kind of work to keep alive the flame in a monotonous life.
 Dr. Dawson paid a lovely tribute to the life of Lady Henry Somerset, who for twenty years has done so much in the cause of temperance. He said that the trouble with men who seem old in spirit while young in years is that they have lost their faith, their ambition and their idealism. Men do not see that the religious life is the noblest life. It is the only life worth living.

 The course of evangelistic lectures to

 Dr. Dawson is widely-known evan gelist, and has spoken in all the princi-
 pal cities of this country. For the last
 two years he has made his home in
 Taunton, Mass.
 The meetings will not be open to the general public, but confined to all stu-' dents in all departments of the univer- sity There is being arranged also a number of meetings to be held in the chapter houses of the societies of the Sheffield Scientific school
 The college authorities asked pr. Dawson to come to this city to address the students in Battell chapel on the first two Sundays in this month, but through the efforts of J. c. Magee, uni versity secretary of the Yale University Christian association, and of Instructor Henry E. Wright, who is a personal friend of Dr. Dawson, the series of ad- dresses has been arranged to extend through the week.
 MT. Mercer is a member of one of the most prominent families in Georgia. While at the University of Virginia he acquired the drink habit and in 1904 entered the old McAuley Water Street mission in New York city, where he was converted. Since that time he has been engaged in gospel work and has talked at almost all of the large uni versailles of this country. He is at pres ant assistant superintendent of the Wa ter Street mission.
 On Wednesday Dr. Dawson will ad- dress Professor W. B, Bailey's class in social conditions, taking as his topic The Sums of London"
