THE STORY.

Bacchus."
Nicanor Numbered the words 80 all
In that vast assemblage before the
temple could hear That was a dra'
matte and tense scene. as the great
general standing above the heads OF
the multitude stretched forth his hand
toward the temple and delivered his
awful threat Back Of Nicanor and to
his right and left stood the soldiers
of his army, and filling all the space
before him was the multitude Of the
Jews who had been drawn together
when It was noised abroad in the city
that Nicanor had come and was
marching against the temple.

HOW BLOCK SIGNALS WORK
Operation Of Ingenious system That
Insures the safety Of Railroad
Passenger.

Comparatively few people know
just what 10 meant By block signals
when they read that railroad has es-
tablished the system on its lines.
The block 10 q length of track which.
on double track roads. has at its en-
trance post and movable arm, and
on single track lines one at each end.
To say that a line has every inch
protected by this system means that
the entire line IL divided into consec-
utive blocks. Only one line from Chi
cago to New York 10 thus protected.
and of the total In the United States.
one-third Is on the. Union and South
ern Pacific.
The operation of the block system
is simple but absolute. In few
words, 1t means that train cannot
move from one block into the next
until the latter block Is empty. As .
train moves forward, the signal arm
Is set to show that the block just left
may be entered by the next train
following. When train enters q
block II so affects the en-
ergy that Is part Of sig

~ phore arm remains hori'

on both the home and distant signals.
Where two or more lines cross 1t
grade the general plan Of semaphore
arms for day and colored light for
night IL the same. but owing to the
complications all signals are con-
trolled by levers operated by men
from a central station. The crossing
and contiguous tracks are governed
by the interlocking system. When
this is in perfect order and the cross
ing unoccupied, It displays stop" to
every track approaching the crossing.
Any change must be made by the sig
mailman, and to display proceed" he
must first lock all other approaches
with the stop signal.
There are now about 1000 miles

What a record Of a life to
leave behindl -
Nearly 5000 years ago this
record was made and II still en-
dures as an Inspiration and
guide to others.
"The good which mon do lives
after them" 10 the way an old
adage should read, and who can
measure all that this means.
II means an upper current set
In motion which ceases not In
its flow toward God.
Think Of I'll
How important then 10 this
matter Of building the record Of
a life.
A man cannot live selfishly
and build q record for the uplift
Of his fellow man; neither can
no live lmpurely, or dishonesty,
carelessIy or indifferentiy and
have his life count for good.
Every footprint planted on tho
roadway Of life must have the
toemark nearest to the rising
sun Of better things.
II is not what man gets
from the world but what he
gives to the world that meas
ures and weighs that life.
Jesus said:
"a mans life consistent not
In the abundance Of the things
he possesseth."
And again:
whatsoever will save his life

lose his life for my sake, the
Same shall save It."

by the mere few short years Of
life.
Life Is only begun hero. InfIu-

How important, then, that the
purpose Of life be up Instead

that the world 10 marred and

knowing that that block is occupied
by another train.
The energy mentioned above is cleo
tricity, the current being obtained
from a battery near each post. The
rails of each block are made as II all
of one piece by connecting the joints
with wire. The extreme ends are then
connected and thus a circuit is formed
in which the current flows. When no
train is in the block, the mechanism
operated by the current pulls the arm
down and holds It there. When a
train enters the block the wheels and
axles. combined with the rails, form
shorter circuit, the energy that held
the arm down is withdrawn and up 1t
swings to a horizontal position.
Each block is independent of all
other blocks. When the last wheels
Of train leave 1t, the current re-
sumes its flow and the signal arm
at the entrance is pulled down to the
proceed" position. But before the
aind wheels have finished doing this,
the front wheels of the locomotive
have entered the next block and
caused the arm there to rise to the
stop"
For a single track line the auto
matte arrangement Is the same, but
there Is signal at each end of the
block. To prevent two trains on

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

According 10 Christian Science, the
ly exists is God God is Mind or Spir-
it; hence the real man who is the
likeness Of God is mental and spirit
ual. Man is not therefore a material
organism which includes a mind, spir-
it, or soul, but is the spiritual mani
festation, expression or evidence of
the Mind which is God.
The basic fact of Christian Science
being that "all is infinite Mind and
its infinite manifestation" C"Science
and Health With Key to the Scrip
lures by Mrs. Eddy. p. 46S), it fol-
lows that health in its perfect sense
must be perfect mental state for the
reason that it is a manifestation of
divine Mind. Even limited knowl-
edge of this great fact has brought
into the human experience of thou
sands not only mental peace, but i'm
proved bodily conditions. The teach
ing of Christian Science concerning
the cause and cure of disease has
within the past 40 years revised the
worlds thought on this subject to a
considerable extent Such atterS4lces
as the following, which is credited to
a doctor of medicine in recent issue
of a we'll known periodical, are be-
coming quite common. He who
would live long, healthfully and hap
PLY should avoid all anger, hatred,
jealousy revenge, fear, anxiety and
worry He should earnestly cultivate
those two great virtues. calmness and
kindness. For calmness and kind
ness are not only moral virtues, but
are the most valuable of all hygenic
influences" Many observing ply
s.c.aus are willing to admit more n
in the direction of the mental cause
of disease than laymen who have less
opportunity to observe such phenom-

Porhydrometer is the name of an
Italian invention the purpose of
which is to determine the weight of
ships cargo in the hold while the
vessel is lying at her moorings. The
instrument in it's application converts
the vessel for the time being into a
huge weighbridge, and it's results are
such as to be within one hundredths
per cent of absolute accuracy.
The instrument is based upon the
principle that a body floating in a
liquid, irrespective Of the density of
the latter, will displace a quantity of
that liquid exactly equal to its own
weight. The reading part of the ap-
paratus or steel-yard is similar to
that used in ordinary weighbridges.
This part of the apparatus is connect
ed to a float which is immersed in a
chamber or cylindrical receptacle fill
ed with water, this chamber being in
communication with the outside of the
ship by means of small tube extend
ing through the bottom Of the vessel.
The aerometer chamber is placed in
the center of the vessel In a vertical
line with the keel. AS the vessel rises
or sinks into the water according as
to whether the cargo IL removed or
taken on board, the level Of the wa
ter in the float-chamber consequent
IS accordingly immersed to a lesser
or greater depth in the liquid. This
brings about an apparent alteration in

COPPER MINING.

Only seven copper mines were op-
Grated in Alaska during 1909 but
these produced nearly as much metal
as the nine mines operated in 1908.
The low price of copper though the
principal cause for the small produc-
ton. did not greatly deter activity
in prospecting both in the Ketchi-
kan and Prince William Sound dist
ricts. The Mount Andrew. Jumbo.
and II mines shipped ore throughout
the year, and work at the Goodro
made sufficient progress during the
summer to put the mine on produc-
tive basis. In the Prince William
Sound region the Bonanza still remains
the largest producer. At the Glad
haugh the sinking of a cofferdam to
take a large body of ore lying above
the first level was begun. Consider
able development was done also on
other properties.
The inland copper districts await
railway transportation. Only at the
Bonanza in the Chitina district, was
ther any actual mining. Here an
aerial tram was completed in Au-
gust and brought down some ore,
which is ready for shipment as soon
as the railway is completed. The prob
ability of early railway connection
stimulated prospecting throughout
the Chitina Valley. and much of this
was more systematic than that of the
past. As a rule, however, property
owners in this field have been inclin-
ed TO do only the required assessment
work and to defer the Inhalation of
mining and prospecting plants until
transportation charges have been re-
duced. In the Nabesna region one
property has been Systematically de-
veloped. but elsewhere in the Nabes-
na-White copper belt little has been
done but assessment work.-Geologl-

HEROISM VS.. INSURANCE.

Shortly before railroads were fore
ed to elevate their tracks within the
city limits, John Matchett, an engl-
neer. was operating a switch engine
on tracks paralleling Archer avenue
1t was dusk, and Matchett's engine
was standing on a switch track so
that a fast outward bound passenger
train might pass.
Matchett heard the passenger train
with its human load coming in the
distance. simultaneously. he discov-
cred an inward bound freight train,
running at high speed and almost at
the junction of the sidetrack with
the main line. A collision between
ed to be inevitable Matchett thought
otherwise.
Jump off and flag the passenger"
shouted Matchett to his fireman, at
the same time opening the throttle
of his engine.
The fireman jumped, the switch en-
gine leaped forward over the rails
with Matchett alone in the cab. AT
the switch, the switch engine crashed
obliquely into the freight engine and
both locomotives were piled up-a
mass OF wreckage. Matchett was
killed.
The price of his death was the safe
ty of the passenger train which
Matchett's fireman had succeeded in
Tagging. The pilot of the passenger
engine was stopped within a few feet
of the wreck in which was buried the
crushed. body of the hero.
To the average right thinking cit

corporation would mediate depriv-
ing the widow and children of man
like Matchett, who had saved its
credit with the travelling public and

Color MarNelS.

A hint Of the processes underlying
the marvellous French color photog-
raphy is gained by noting that in a
room to which only red light is ad-
mitted-through red glass-every-
thing becomes red except things that
are already red. These become white
or yellow according to their inten-
sity. Another element in the work
takes cognizance of the fact that all
things have various colors in them
so blended as to appear what we call
red or blue, etc. The little micro
scopic eyes Of the mosaic plate of the
color photographer takes their own
out of these mingled tints that make
up the specific shades Of the color
presented to them. Seen under the
microscope We can detect that red has
blue and violet in it, that the yellow
Of the sunflower has blue and green.

THE UNDESIRABLE STUDENT.

The Yale Alumni Weekly recently
discussed the undesirable student. 10
whom considerable attention has OF
late been directed on account of the
complaints of eminent college presi-
dents, says the Spokesman Review.
This particular undesirable is the
student who is an athlete and not
much else, or merely a rich youth who
goes to college because it is the thing
- do and is helpful to him socially.
giving him an opportunity to form
desirable friendships and to acquire a
kind of polish that his clubs do not
confer.
The Weekly recognizes the absurdity
o. his presence at college, but insists
with good reason that college life
probably does not hurt this sort of
a person any and that it must ex-
pand his character little more than
it would be expanded in the counting
room or in the inane occupations of
a man about town.
This is true; but college authorities
have had to consider the harm that
his presence does to education and its
serious interests. In order to elevate
educational standards to restore
scholarship TO the place of honor that
IL once occupied in the eyes of un-
dergraduates and to guard the ideals
and character of the main body of
college students the undesirable must
b. discouraged in some of his ways
more firmly than at present. The COL
Il ges have made it too easy for him
to inoculate the student body with. the
virus of his own dilettanteism.

THE LAWS ARE FAULTY.

In the January number OF McCluTe's
magazine appears a very interesting
article by John F. Lathrop. former
editor Of the East Oregonian, and
George X Turnor bearing upon the
subject Of Alaskan coal and coal grab
bers. The story tells once more OF the
famulous richness OF the coal beds
to the far north. The value Of the
coal runs into sum far greater than
the national debt Of America. The
Alaska coal constitutes the reserve
supply for. the western hemisphere or
a. least for the Pacific coast Of north
America.
In their article the TWO writers tell
how this great coal region has been
filed upon, not by hardy prospectors.
but by spectators having powers Of
attorney from people in all parts Of
the country. Some Of these people,
like the Cunningham claimants. are
men of wealth. Others are politicians,
bartenders, women and others who
have granted the use Of their names
for the purpose.
The article follows up to an extent
the exposures recently made by LOUIS
r. CLAWS and shows the close rela-
ton between the coal land getters and
the department OF the interior. The
facts are damaging TO the officials
concerned. However the chief blame
for the conditions Of affairs is placed
upon our antiquated coal land laws.
The primary reason for this is our
mineral and public-land laws" says
the story. These have been out OF
date for generations; they are the ridi-
cule Of every other civilized country;
and they are founded on entirely
wrong principles. The coal, timber,
stone. general minerals, and water
powers upon the public lands belong
to the United States. They must be
worked eventually, not by individu-
ais, but by corporations. There are
only two essential parties to the tram
saction-the government and the cor
poration. The United States practi'
cally refuses to recognize the second
party and will deal-because of laws
adopted TO conditions forty years ole
only with the individual. In the
meanwhile, sane and modern laws or
this subject-such as exist to an exten
in Australia and British Columbia

and get what the government is en-
