Cured by Fright.

Cured by fright was an invalid of
Nancy, In France. who had arranged
to go by south-bound pilgrims train
to Lourdes. In whose miraculous wa
tiers he hoped to find relief. He was
being borne on stretcher to the
train, and while the men who were
carrying him were crossing the rail-
road track the station-master called
out to them to hurry up, as the ex-
press from Metz was approaching.
The sick man, who was afflicted
with paralysis. heard the station-mas-
ter's warning and was so frightened
that he jumped of the stretcher and
ran down the platform. He got to his
compartment long before his aston
ished porters.
He could not give any explanation
Of what had happened to him except
that he felt himself cured and was able
to proceed home instead of to

Suggestive Questions on the Sunday School Les
son by Rev. DIR. Linscott for The
international Newspaper Bible Study Club

The chief sin with which Solomon is
charged here is not so much his polygamy
as that he allowed his heather wives to
turn his heart from the true God; now is
it true that disloyalty to God is the very
worst Of moral crimes, as it is the founsa-
ton Of every crime9
Is polygamy social crime because the
Bible says so, or does the Bible say so,
because 1t is so; that is, is it crime in
the nature Of things9
A devout Mohammedan is necessarily a
polygamist, now would you say that all
such are under the ban OF God?
Verses 9-l0-Can anything happen to
disturb the natural complacence of the
eternal God?
What is that operation in God. or in the
law Of God. which answers to anger in
man?
How do you account for Solomon's apos-
tacy, in view Of Gods marvellous appear
ances to him, and of Gods wondrous
dealings with him. giving him wisdom and
riches and vast influence?
Verses ll-l5-On what conditions did
God promise Solomon and his sons pros
perity and the establishment OF his throne
/ forever
In how many respects did Solomon
break his part in the covenant?
What is the only condition OF every
mans continuous prosperity

Measures Hardness of Metals.

An instrument TO measure the hard
ness of metals has been recently de-
vised, more especially designed and
found very useful in the manufacture
of tools like twist drills, where the
hardness has to be kept between mar
row limits. II consists of glass tube,
within which a steel ball of 40 grains
weight, treated by special process
so as to have jewel hardness, falls
freely. The height of the rebound Of
the ball measures the hardness of the
metal 1t strikes. Were the area Of
contact between the dropped weight
and the metal larger, so that no ap-
preciable dent were made, the rebound
would be a measure of elasticity rath-
er than hardness. The height OF the
rebound is measured on a scale, Of
which 100 is the average hardness Of
carbon steel, which is also found to be
the safety limit for steel tools after
relocating and tempering ready for use.

Common Sickness Measured Against
Dollars and Cents.

1t is worth while. says III. Il. Jordan,
in Municipal Engineering magazine. to
consider the cost of typhoid fever In
order to get the Importance of its pre-
vention well fixed in mind. II Is a
recognized fact that the greater ma
jority of those persons who die from
this cause are between the ages OF 20
and 35. Basing ones estimate upon
the value of human life as given In in
surance estimates, the average value
In life capital that Is thus destroyed
is about $4,000 In the summer OF
1907 there were studied In the Seventh
and Ninth wards of Pittsburg 1914
cases, with especial reference to the
actual cost In money expended. These
cases occurred in 146 families; from
them there were IL deaths; 81 wage
earners lost S64 weeks work: care
takers mot professional nurses, but
members of the family lost 1872
weeks work; there were 13 OF the
cases treated in hospitals; total cost,
In these three factories alone. $24,3 300.
This being proportioned among the
1914 cases. amounts to 1925 per case, or
$4,000 per death. 1t Is without ques-
tion that the cost more nearly approx.
imates $4,000 per typhoid death on
account of the inability of the
patient to resume work at his
normal rate. This makes a total
cost per death of $500. There
is, then, with the sole question of the
money cost in mind, deep problem
for solution before this one cause OF
destruction of human life Is elm
mated.
