sight when INDUCED in by large
flock.
This gay behavior is no doubt in
stinctive, and as with other instincts,
it is perfected by experience. Ostrich
chicks begin the whirl even when rear
ed away from other ostriches, and
without having seen the performance.
The South Africans have the follow
ing theory of the significance of this
playful activity.
The wild ostrich can protect him
self against lions and leopards in no
other way than by flight. When
chased by beast of prey, the ostrich
starting to run, jerks so quickly from
side to side that no beast would be
likely to have time to set himself for
spring in one direction before the
bird had changed his course.
The South Africans believe that the
instructive Waiting movement of the
ostrich is useful in perfecting the bird
in the art of suddenly twisting and
turning, which is most likely to assist
it to elude it's natural enemies, the
larger carnivors.-London Globe.

ed Fruit company have been equipped
with a ventilating system that makes
the state rooms as comfortable as the
front piazza of Bar Harbor hotel. A
great refrigerating plant, connecting
with a system of air ducts and fans.
furnishes an ever ready supply Of cold
air to all parts of the ships.
In each stateroom of the Fruit com.
pany's new boats there is a dial on
which different temperatures are des-
ignated. If a temperature of 60 de,
grees is wanted the hand on the dial is
turned to that number, and enough
cold air supplied to bring the temper
there. A novel feature Of the venti

NEW STEEL ROLLED
Fifty Tons of Vadium Rolled
Successfully in This
Country.
OF USE IN STEAM BOILERS.

Coatesville, Pa, Sept. 5.--Fifty tons
of Vadium steel has been rolled sue
cessfully at Worth Bros steel plant
Vadium has been discovered in South
Africa and is under the control of the
American Vadium company, who fur
nished the Coatesville firm with the
necessary quantity for all the tests so
far made
The idea of the makers of the new
steel is to use it for the construction
of steam boilers, especially locomo-
tives. Steel plate now used tests
10000 pounds to the square inch, while
the Vadium steel will test to 10000
The harder the steel, less tensil
strength it has, and by the use of Va
dunn strength is added with brittle,
ness.
1t is said that the new steel will
wear longer and boilers can be made
of lighter plate and have the same dur
ability. Vadium in steel does not
change it's appearance.

SOUND NATIONAL JUDGMENT OF
MEXICAN PEOPLE HAS IN
SPIRED THEM WITH SELF CON-
FiDENCE.

Should President Diaz retire from
the presidency of the Mexican repub-
lie? This, strangely enough, has been
made the principal topic of discussion
in Mexico by the publication of an in
terview with General Diaz in a New
York Magazine. The article was trans
lated and published throughout the re-
public. In it the president said:
mo matter what my friends and
supporters say, | retire when my pres

years old then"
Among the man: comments on this
declaration none is more significant
than that of Gen. Bernardo Reyes,

Reyes said, still requires the contin-

his work, have we to lose his guiding

THE common people heard Him

leading. What Mark says is not that
the common people" but that the
much people heard Him gladly" I"
He does not mean to refer to low
er class of people. The Bible never
calls this sort of people common" /"
and it was not the lower class OF
people that came to Christ in the
crowds. There was the Pharisee, the
Sadducee, the ruler, the publican.
the poor man-all classes were
drawn to Him. Where He came caste
straightway melted away. When He
came into Simon's house, the poor
harlot, who had never crossed the
threshold before, went right in and
came to His side.
For this reason Jesus can no more
be the head of labor church than
of a capitalist club. He has nothing
to do with men in sections. He deals
with man as man. and when He
looked out upon the crowds He did
not see a Pharisee or publican;
He saw man, a son of God by crea.
ton. He saw as God saw.-Rey.

the Hoffman House, In New York,
for many years. Happening to hear

Il. Peacock, comment on the uEfor-
tunate death of Mr.. Bennett, Mr..
Crouch, without a moments hesita-
tion, fastened into brokerage Office
at the hotel, locked himself into an

serves to be. How small. infinitesi-
mally small, do you seem! He has
been prophet. for He has shown how
small we are. Two sides, the dark
and the light, Jesus has shown US,
but He has not alone given us view
to the dark side by showing us our
,mallness. He has also brought up
the light side and with full hopeful
ness not only tells us how small we
are, but shows us our largeness. He
tells us of the power and potentiali-
ties within us. "Ye, therefore, shall
be perfect In love-" You are a sim
ner, but you may be son Of God.
Jesus Is glorious as a prophet of God,
for He tells us how it may be II we
live as He lived.
Not only a prophet of God and
men. Jesus sought to expand the rev.
elation Of God, and beneath 1t all,
with prophetic note, gave the ideal re-
iationship of life, that of father and
son. Did time permit we could con-
slider the many lights between Goa
and man. Jesus came and in His ear
Tier years lived in simple communion
with His Father, before He gathered
about Him His twelve disciples. He
prayed in the mountains and prayed
for the forgiveness of the sins OF the
world. He set the right relatioH be-
eween Son and the Father-a per-
sonal relationship. He never lost
hope in all His suffering, but trusted
In His Father. In His life He would
tell us that the infinite relation Is that
Of Father and Son.
Not only would Jesus teach us the
ideal relationship between God and
men, but He lived the life between
man and man. Should we follow the
precepts of Jesus. this relation of
man to man would be one Of sacred
example. Follow the teachings of
Jesus and get all the power and po-
tentiality that is in you. Develop self
by developing others. Find life by
losing it. 1t will be victory for self,
the inner self. BY the Word of God
we are one, or non-existent. Jesus
tells us of Gods relationship
How can any one ask, knowing
these things and Gods relationship to
man, how He effects our salvation?
Can any one be convinced and say.
"Can Jesus save Me-" He demands
Of US our love. He demands that we
follow Jesus and do what He did. He
demands that we follow Him as Jesus
did and secure salvation by His for
giveness. We know that the penal
ties of sin are awful. for Jesus has so
taught us. The truth that I am
small He has impressed upon me, but
that | am to become larger through
hope and forgiveness know through
His word. Jesus calls upon us to be
prophets in His name. We can take
His teachings throughout life, but we
do not follow them. That is not rec
ognition of the word. He has done
His part and we should do ours. He
cannot make us or we would not be
personalities.
Jesus said to the multitude, Chris
tians. follow Nc. and as the apostles.
they left and followed Him. Jesus
calls us up from our worship OF gold
and the money gods which we serve.
He called to the people. love Me more.
and they worshiped Him. He calls to
us, love Me more. BY Thy mercy we

Peril OF The Collar Button.

A few days ago the news columns
carried the story of man who was
stricken with serious case OF ver-
tigo while cropping under the bed
for his elusive collar button. Still
later appeared the story of an East
ern man who was overcome by heart
failure after violent struggle with
a refractory button that refused to
connect tight collar. In each of
these instances the victim was stout
man of full habit and presumably
of apoplectic tendency.
The collar button has been the
plaything Of the flippant writer's for
a long time. Its amusing pranks,
its almost human perverseness, its
power of effacing itself when most
wanted, have united in striking IL
lustration of the moral obliquity of
inanimate things. But when the but
ton forgets its. harmless mission and
becomes an adjunct to tragedy, it
can no longer hope to be regarded
in an amusing light.-Cleveland

Sugar As A Disinfectant.

Prof. Trilbert, of the Pasteur In
stitute, at Paris, has demonstrated
recently that burning sugar develops
formic acetylene-hydrogen. one of
the most powerful antiseptc gases
known.
Five grams Of sugar (77.16 grains)
were burned under a glass bell hold
ing 10 quarts. After the vapor had
cooled bacilli Of typhus. tuberculosis,
cholera, smallpox, etc, were placed
in the bell in open glass tubes. and
within half an hour all the microbes
were dead.
If sugar is burned in closed vessel
containing purified meat or the con-
tents of rotten eggs the offensive
odor disappears at once. The pop
ular faith in the disinfecting quail
ties of burned sugar appears. there
fore, to be we'll founded.

Daises yesterday afternoon at the

"Voices," said she. have become
worse and worse with civilization till
at the present time, as nation, Amer
leans are known for their bad voices.
The responsibility for this chiefly
rests on the strain and effort used in
speaking in subway and on elevated
trains and on the crowded streets.
1t Is also due to lack of control of
the vocal organs due to too tight
clothing and undue pressure on any
part of the body or the lack of knowl-
edge of the formation and moldlng

that they should let 1t off, adding
that nobody would be any wiser.
They loaded the gun, and one Of

so that they would not be heard.
