Mediterranean port under the Ice of

Elijah gathered to him all Israel and
the prophets of Baal and confuted their
false gods 10y himself bringing down
fire from Heaven. Here. too. is tho
brook Kishon where he slew the priests
of Baal.
The railway quite is through the
plain of Esdraelon, past Nazareth and
across Galilee and along the sweet and
tranquil waters of Lake liberals with
the Mount of Beatitudes in the back
ground; through the canyon of the
river HieromiaX and up into the culti-
waited plains of the Hauran the scenes
are still scriptural, except that the uni

The stock was acquired in the open

the stock it most active. The stock
has been selling between $54 and So

that the Eric probably realized a little
over 81, 000, 900. Tho suggestion was adj
vanced yesterday that the sale of this
Lehigh Valley stock was directly 0 n

recently as low as 90, and yesterday ii
was reported hat they were offered as
low as SS. though the prevailing quota

That the Erie Railroads earnings
have been much less than enough to
meet it's fixed charges is of course u
matter of common knowledge.
Several months ago the Erie Railroad
sold part of the Lehigh Valley stock
which it acquired seven years ago.
Presumably the stock which it has sold
recently represented the balance of its

directly to any boy attending the ele-
mentary schools 1t is likely that a
similar rule viii be adopted in regard

result of a hue and cry raised recently

COAL EXPLOSIVE If
IT HAD ENOUGH AIR.

A popular notion that explosives will
go OFF, by any simple method is
wrong. Many of the most powerful
explosives imaginable may be kicked
about, ma be set on fire or may be
shot out of a gum, and unless the
proper agency for exploding them is
employed, they win not "go off, and
will do no damage. The cas- for this
may be explained by an illustration.
Consider a CRATE full of coal. There is
there enough of what WI may call ex-
plosive energy to throw a 1,O0O-pound
weight through a foot of solid steel
if only it could be liberated. But there
can be no explosion without oxygen,
and the coal in the CRATE will not burn
faster than the supply of oxygen in the
air which reaches it will permit. If
the coal could be furnished, all at once,
with enough air to cause its complete
burning, it would explode with as great
violence as If it were so much dyna-
mite .-Century Magazine.
