LEAN YEAR FOR CHURCHES.
Those of Great Britain Lost Many
Members In 1907.

Last year was lean year for the
churches both at home and abroad
The Baptist communicates in Great
Britain in 1907, according to the In,
dependent, were 429,977, which was
1854 fewer than in 1906. There were
744 more Sunday school teachers, but
3,161 fewer pupils.
The British Congregationalists have
almost held their own, but not quite.
Their membership is 459,G63 for 1907,
a loss of 275 While the Sunday school
teachers have increased by 1859, the
pupils have fallen off by 5000.
The Wesleyan Methodists show the
same loss, the membership of 525,.
256 being 2,2O0 fewer than in the
previous year, while the pupils are
fewer by nearly $4,000.
Five smaller Methodist denomina-
tions show a total loss of S,515 pupils
and small loss in members. A single
one, the Primitive Methodists, report
a gain of 1900 members, but they
lose 1903 Sunday school pupils.
In Wales the largest denomination
is the Welsh Calvanistic Methodist
Connexion, which is Presbyterian in
government. It's membership is given
as 1S7,76S, loss of 1896.
The total loss in membership of the
Nonconformist denominations is about
$4,000 and that in Sunday schools is
more than $4,000. Indeed one of the
best ecclesiastical statisticians in
Great Britain puts the loss in men,
bers in England and Wales at 17,434.
A principal cause of this ebb is the
sloughing off of the excess members
who joined the churches during the
excitement of the Welsh revival.

GROWS BUTTERED POTATO
Farmer Creates New Vegetable by
Crossing Guber With Butter
Bean

John Slavin, who lives over near
the foot Of the mountain, came into
town yesterday and reported that the
potato crop would be enormous. The
plants were not bothered much by
the bugs, and there was just enough
rain to develop the tubers without
making them rot.
Mr.. Slavin hopes to give the world
unique article in the potato line
this summer. He does not speak
much about it, since he wants to sur
prise the public, but enough infor-
nation has been dropped to give a
fair idea of his experiments.
This well known and thoroughly
truthful farmer has crossed the white
potato with the butter bean, to the
end that he can produce buttered
potato. He figures out that with
such vegetable on the market there
will be saving in the United States
each year of more than $S,O00000. He
has obtained government statistics
which prove that this amount is spent
annually in buttering the boiled and
roasted potatoes and in making the
mashed article.
Mr.. Slavin had first thought of u.s.
ing the buttered beet, but it did not
have the rich yellow color of the but
ter bean.-Wheatstone correspon-

The law knew nothing about this

ended.
Years afterward he attended a great

AUTUMNAL FOLIAGE SEASON IN THE
ROOF GARDEN OF new ENGLAND
The Ideal Period Of the Year For Machess Scenery and
Incompatible Outdoor Life Enjoyed Annually by
Thousands From Nearly Every Clime

(From Special Correspondent
"There Is beautiful spirit breathing
now
It's mellow richness on the clustered
trees,
And from a beaker full of richest
dyes
Pouring new glory on the autumn
woods
And dipping in warm light the pill
Jared Clouds"
Longfellow may well have had in
mind tie White Mountains of New
Hampshire in Autumn when he
penned this delightful sentiment, for
nowhere in America are the glories Of
the autumnal foliage more exuberant-
ly imposing than there.
Since early July the hotels, board
ing houses and camps throughout the
White Mountain region have been
filled to overfiowing with vacation
lists" from every State of the Union,
reveling in the matchless scenery and
air and incompatible outdoor life of
the roof garden Of New England"
Many of these have been obliged
to return to homes and offices, but
hundreds are still lingering for that
most magnificent of all seasons In the
mountains ns-Autumn-and hundreds
more, in towns and cities far and
near, are packing trunks and suit
cases in eager anticipation of an au-
tumn trip to the glorious White hills.
More and more our American peo-
pie are beginning to appreciate the
virtues of fall outing In the
mountains and the lake country. In
many respects it is the ideal period
of the entire year for outdoor life and
recreation. Not only is it marked by
more comfortable temperature than
July and August, but there is a clar-
ity of atmosphere and tonic of air
that add fifty per cent. to the comfort
and pleasure of out-of-door existence.
This seasons crowning accessory,
in the mountains, however, is the au-
tumnal foliage, which, at the first ca
ressing touch of the frost king trans
forms the landscape into "a grand
harleqinade of nature" and fur
nishes vast color-pictures that delight
the eye and stun the senses.
In every notch, valley and ravine,
and upon the slopes of every noun
tain, large or small, the giant brush
of the Great Painter leaves a riot of
crimson, orange and gold; and wher-
ever stands a maple, sumach or birch,
there is living rainbow of color.
Only in the mountains may the full
glory and beauty of the autumnal
foliage be seen and understood, for it
is only by standing upon the summit
or higher slopes of some eminence
and looking down into the brightly
carpeted valleys, perhaps couple of
thousand feet below, that any COM
prehensive idea of the extent and
magnificence of natures autumnal

Shrek Of the Air Ship.

An eyewitness Of Count Won Yep

in his vision "heard the heavens fill

these airships-not to speak of a
fleet Of them-is something quite ter.
rible. The Strassburg observer heard

Old Ace Is Inevitable.

The theory of Metchnikoff that old
age results from poisoning by bac-
terra in the colon, and may be avoid
ed by certain rules of diet, is not sup
ported by the studies of Prof. H.
Ribbert, director of the pathological
institute at Bonn. Death from old
age is due to anatomical changes,
atrophy of the nerve cells, and these
changes are an inevitable result of the
physico-chemical course of living
matter. No proof of special effect
of diet is obtainable. The most care
ful inquiry shows the meat eater as
likely to become a centenarian as the
vegetarian, and the use of tobacco or
alcohol signifies little. The chief
factor in long life appear to be de-
scent from long lived stock and the
