VIRTUES OF THE WOOD CUT.

Superiority Of a Dying Art to It's
Cheaper Successor.
We are glad to learn that the Asso-
citation of Women Principals Of the
Public schools Of New York has taken
up certain important questions con-
nected with the care of school chill
dren's eyes. says the New York Medi-
cal Journal. Physicians have for years
been convinced of the de1eterious eff
fects Of the maddening glare given
out by the glazed paper which is
used IN books when it is thought to
illustrate them with halftone engray-
ings. In some foreign publications
we find half-tonas handsomely printed
on paper which is almost il not quite
unobjectionable so far as glare is con-
cerned. Our French and German ex-
changes for example. afford ample ev-
idence OF this.
Many of the half-tone engravings
are in high degree artistic, and they

A GOOD SAMARITAN.

Looks After the ondeserving Poor
Says No One Else Will.
There is rich man in Southern
city who makes the undeserving poor
his peculiar care, says the Independ,
ent.
His methods inshealing with what
he calls afresh sinher are UNIQUE, and
he regards them assscientific from the
heavenly point ofSSsview. He insists
up'on~a full catalogue Of the victims
transgressions.
He claims that this is done on the
theory that a physician first admins
ters an emetic inSicase of poisoning.
Then if the patient is an utterly Loot
and abandoned woman he frequently
takes her home with him, where she
is quartered in the guest chamber and
treated by the family as the welcome
guest whose presence there is in no
way remarkable. 9I
For our scientist claims that is is the
loss of the sacred home consciousness
in such women which casts them SO
far down, and his purpose is to restore
the same by his own fireside, which
is particularly attractive in that he
has a wife and many young children.
Nothing is said to3the forlorn one to
remind her OF the shame; she is sim
ply left to get well, as the scientist
expresses it SE
And it is astonishing how many Of
them do get well. His boast is that

cure it and aid us to keep it. The uni.
versal intelligence is no respector of
persons; and if we lack while others
have supply there is nothing the mat
ter with the cosmic consciousness
but there is something materially
wrong IN our comprehension of it,"
1t is then explained by Dr. Sears
that the human race must have health,
because the first requisite to happy
life is sound body and the ability to
conquer distest and the WEAKNESS of
the flesh.
Health" says she, els first in the
trinity. We may wait for recognition
Of wealth and love-"
One OF the speakers in the recent
convention, Mrs. Ella Chapman of
New Hampshire, dwelt upon the criti-
cisms made by those who, failing to
understand the new cult, considered
that too much attention was given to
the material.
Mrs. Sears, with the key, unlocks
the mysteries Of the New Thought
teachings in this respect:
1--WE want and we must have money,
wealth, abundance of supply. Why?
Because, in the present rate of con-
sciousness, wealth has become a >medi-
um of exchange on the physical plane,
where every life makes personal con-
tact for freedom. This age is one of
great material power and lives that
are caught in the currents of personal
and are opposed to the universal
trend of evolution must forever be
ground to dust and ashes beneath the
great transmitting power that is high
er than themselves
Mr.. Sears thinks that wealth is also
necessary SO that those who have it
may be able to give a cup of cold wa
ter to the less fortunate.

a curious way in some places. In Con-
cord, N. NJ, for example, there are
large railway car and repair shops.
Some years ago a complete plant of
engines, dynamos and motors for run
ming the machinery throughout the
plant was installed. Every pound of
coal burned in Concord must come
over the lines of the railroad that
owns the shops, and it is to be sup
posed that the railroad can obtain its
fuel as cheaply as any one could. But
the expensive engines and dynamos
now stand idle and the motors that
run the machinery are operated with
a current brought from the local elec-
trio supply system which generates
its power by utilizing the energy of
nearby stream. !.
The fuel bill is mighty serious
proposition to many manufacturers,
and though the exhaustion of the fuel
supply is not imminent 1t has already
begun to have it's effect upon the
prices of coal, petroleum and natural
gas. But the white coal' Of the
brooks and rivers grows cheaper as
it's utilization grows more scientific
and skilful, SO that waterpower elec-
trically transmitted is providing a.
means of running factories and in
dustries of many kinds in places
where they could never have existed
if they must depend upon coal gener.
ated steam or electricity. f

New Thought Advocates Hold Forth in Carnegie Hall Meet

1--WE are it, says the New Tboueht

winch brought together believers in
TINS comforting doctrine from New
YORK, boston and Brockton, and every
pody was happy and thought abund-

the golden chain of the New Thought.
which puts money in the purse of
thinking and implies health, wealth
and love.
New York has now two branches of
the new organization, and there ex-
lists, in fact, a New Thought church,
OF which the New Thought college at
No. Carnegie hall is the inspiration
and source. The chief New Thought
er" is Mrs. Julia Seton Sears, a ply
s1clan and philosopher, and the high
priestess Of the new idea.
Being, as she says, regularly grad
uated physician, Mrs. Sears does not
oppose the administration of medi-
cines, nor does she deem them un-
\ necessary. Unlike Christian Scient-
lists, she does not in effect repudiate
the existence of matter. She admits
that disease exists, although it is
failure to understand the higher Co.'S
mic intelligence which causes it.
There is much comfort to be deriv-
ed by the following Of the new cult

expect. In 1905, when the last au-

more than fifty cities of North Ameri-

WIND, JEST WIND.

A certain Liverpool teacher, in en-
deavoring to explain to his class what
compressed air was, brought his bi.
cycle into the room and leaned it uu
against the wall. ;
"Now," he remarked, under the
outer covering of that back wheel
there is a hidden force. What is it?''
"Injyrubber,' said a smart youth.
No. Try again"
The boy tried again, as did nearly
every member of the class, but with.
out success.
At length one Of the youngsters,
who had been making close inspec-
ton Of the machine, turned on the
teacher with beaming face.
Il have it," he exclaimed. TITS wind
Jest wind!"
After commencing the youngster
the teacher asked how he discovered
the hidden force.'

I've Jest stuck my knife In 1t to see!"
Which was the absolute fact. as the
discounted teacher discovered to .his

THE BRIGHT FUTURE OF E WHITE COAL
Water Power the Most
Hydro EectrcityOpens

1t is one of the queer paradoxes of
this century OF machinery and power
that the most ancient and crudest
form Of mechanical force is becoming
the most modern and highly perfected.
Two or three thousand years ago,
when the Egyptians and Assyrians
were the doers of the worlds great
work, the latent energy locked up in
every stream that runs down hill'
was the only kind of power man had
at his disposal, except human Drawn
and brute strength. And now, after
manifold attempts at improvements,
this ready-at-hand gift of nature
seems on the, way to be mans best
reliance once more
In the last decade water power has
been slowly pushing its way ahead of
all the 'better things devised in the
last twenty centuries To-day engi-
neers predict that the future will find
it the most economical and practical
means of operating machinery and
the most valuable factor in building
up industry. It is only within few
years, comparatively speaking, that
it has been possible to use water pow
er as it is now used. Only with the
perfecting of long distance electrical
transmission has it had any value be-
yond turning machinery connected di-

was restricted to industries that could
be located on the water course and
could be conducted on big enough
scale to justify the building of large
and expensive plant. Such, for exam
pie, are the great cotton mills, the
sawmills, and. the huge -four mills of
New England, the South and the
Northwest.
Whoever was the man who conceived
the idea Of making water power turn
a generator of electricity and then
distributing the electricity wherever
it was wanted for miles around, he
was one Of the greatest benefaetors
of modern industry Perhaps the first
application of his scheme was to elec-
trio light and trolley car plants in the
rural districts, where fuel is costly
and water power easily available.
Lots Of small New England towns
owe their we'll lighted streets and
their cross-country trolley service to
the patient, p,odding water wheel.
But the modern hydro-electric power
plant is a marvel of ingenuity so diff
ferent from it's crude predecessors
that it can hardly be thought of as a
development from them. The water
power development on the st. Croix
river, for example, which furnishes
electricity for lighting and manufac-
turing purposes in Minneapolis, now
produces 1880 horsepower and will,
it is planned, ultimately be increased
to twice that volume. That on the
Chattahoochee, from which power is
provided for the region about Colum-
bus, Ga, now aggregates 5000 horse
power, while, when adjoining rights
are utilized, an ultimate development
of $4,000 horsepower is anticipated.

! After all, financial embarrassment.
according to the New Thought con
cepts, may be only state of mind, rath-
er than an actual condition.
J If a man finds himself alone in a
strange city and has not a penny in
his pocket, he will only keep his purse
empty by becoming paralyzed by fear
and anxiety for the morrow.
"When,'' observes Mrs. Sears in the
Key, I'VE teach ourselves to look into
an empty purse with the same feeling
Of opulence that we should have if we
saw $1,000 in it, then we have laid
hold of that energy which creates and
no power on earth could prevail to
keep that purse empty. 1t is not in
the doing, but in the being opulent
that we get the power. We must
know how to get back Of the things
created-dollars, nickels, dimes-into
the energy that creates, and this rec
ognition held steadfastly brings life
into relation with higher lines of at.
traction"
Followers of other cults may won
der why all do not have wealth and
why it is so hard to get "into union"
with the superabundant supply. Mr..
Sears tells plainly how to do it.
Simply" she writes, '.get the in
terror attitude of seeing, feeling and
being opulent. The first step toward
the supply Of material things Is abso-
lutte recognition. We must ELL our
whole field Of consciousness with the
thought image Of plenty. There is
abundance of supply everywhere; all
any one has to do Is to look with eyes
that see and he cannot escape the
truth Of the divine opulence."
It is the theory Of New Thought
that once the physical demand for
money Is lost from a life it goes on
more rapidly in It's search for free
dom. Sometimes the life becomes so
free that 1t goes on toboggan slide.
The Old Thought persons believed
that IN many lives too much money
meant the pathway to damnation. Not

er of their new church and attend he1
as faithful followers when she gives
instruction On the principles of cor
rect thinking and proper living.
There are sixty books which form
the bulk Of the literature on the part
of the layman who has not the inspira-
tion and belief Of the new ideas to
analyze the various concepts which go
to make it. Here are some of the
vital sayings:
perfect health, perpetual opulence
and divine realization for all man
kind.
Peace, power and plenty are the
constant possessions of those who
know how to make union with them.
Everything comes to us from the
Infinite, and nothing finite can inter
pose between the supply and the soul
which has made conscious relation
with the universal abundance.
"The All Will wants us to have ev-
erything that we want and will help

recent and complete estimates set the
amount Of energy Americans are OBJ
tanning from the streams and cata-
.racts of the United States in excess
-of 100000 horsepower. Roughly
speaking, this represents the output
of 100 of the largest steam power en-
gines built, and is an amount of ener-
gy which during a year would require
not less than 100000 tons of coal,
costing approximately $30,OOO,O0O
The latest authentic statistics in re-
gard to the use of different kinds of
power in the United States, contained
in report of the united States CEN
sus bureau, show that the use of elec-
tricity increased 3,068 per cent in the
ten years from 1890 to 1900 and about
222 per cent beyond that in the five
years from 1900 to 1905. And of the
1,592,48 horsepower electricity gen
Grated in 1905 considerably more than
a third was produced by water power
Among the establishments which
bought their, power and which used
442,592 electric horsepower as against
191,313 horsepower of other kinds, the
Increase in five years in the use of

AS far as the treatment of disease
goes, the efforts in that direction are
aimed at getting the race thoroughly
to understand the great cosmic con-
sciOusness.
Disease Is only the result of mixed
currents of the mind registering mega
tive thought currents. Nobody would
be i'll unless at some time or other he
had recognized his malady in the alb
solute and had permitted it to regis
ter into his corporal form. If human
being is born into illness and deform-
ity it Is merely because somewhere in
the orbit Of his soul he got out of har-
mony, and the result is that he ap-
pears in an imperfect physical mani
festation.
Behind every deformity is the re-
venge Of some negative energy, which
