to them with a frown.

PEWS HEREAFTER TO BE FREE
Wealthy Pittsburs Congregation Be-
iieves II Has Been Disobeylna
the Word Of God.

Declaring that they had been dis
obeying the word of God by charg-
ing rent for pews in their $4,000
house of worship, members OF the
East Liberty Presbyterian church,
the richest congregation in Pittsburg.
voted unanimously to abolish this
practice and to throw the pews open
to the public without reservation.
The Scripture bearing on the matter
was quoted from Corinthians, XVI, 2,
as follows
Upon the first day of the week let
each one of you lay by him in store,
as God hath prospered him, that there
be no gatherings when | come"
The Rev. DR.. Frank w. Sneed is
pastor of the church, which numbers
among its members more than two
score millionaires. 1t is estimated
that the pew rent alone amounts to
$4,000 a year.
Several short addresses were made
by members at the meeting. One
well-known capitalist insisted that
the verse from Corinthians forbade
even the taking of collections, and il
is probable this phase of the matter
will be taken up later.-Pittsburg

and what kind of hats they are wear
ing this season or expect to wear next
fall, the standing in their respective
baseball leagues, their method OF
handling trusts, whether the Salome
dance goes there, whether they have
germs under control and If they pay
any attention to the phases OF the
moon in conducting their affairs.

Sharp EYES.

Some persons seem to have opened

scurity where that Of others fails like

many did Henry Thoreau! How many
did Audubon? How many does the hunt

but inward. We open another eye
when we see beyond the first general
feature or outlines Of things-when-
ever we grasp the special details and
characteristic markings that this
mask covers. Science confers new
powers of vision. Whenever you have
learned to discriminate the birds, OF

SHARK As TORPEDO DIRECTOR.
Odd Use 10 Which Inventor Would
Have Put Sea Terror.

Fishes have been put to many queer
uses while still alive; but probably
the strangest was that suggested to
the war department by an inventor.
The propulsion Of submarine torpe-
does was the subject under discussion,
and he proposed that shark be i'm
piisoned in a tube at the rear end Of
the projectile, its movements to be
controlled by the active application Of
electricity. In case the shark attempt
ed to swim away 1t was to be given an
electric shock, and in this way kept
on its course until the tropedo had
reached its target.
Another remarkable use to which
q fish has been put is as barometer.
The loach is very susceptible to atmos-
pheric changes, and when retained In
an aquarium is likely to throw itself
out at the approach of or during any
remarkable change of wind or wealth
er, or, if in pond or stream, will
sometimes jump on the bank. 1t has
been kept alive in aquaria as a living
barometer from the supposition that
certain movements indicate particular
changes that are about to occur in the
weather In Russia the dead body of
Cottus gobio, the miller's thumb, is
used as a weathercock. Hung by a
single thread, it will point to the direc'
tion whence the wind blows.-Sunday

AFRICAN NATIVES ARE NOISY.

Big Shells.

Among the African natives there

cording to William B. Clarke of Pitts
burg, Pa who has travelled extensive

1T is simply appalling, the rush, the
roar, the chatter and the hustle. like
Bedlam let loose" Mr.. Clarke said.
The principal object of conversation
is said to be money, and the hubbub,
bawling and uproar in all sorts of
tones from shrill and screaming to
gruff and growing, accompanied by all
sorts of gesticulations with tongue,
head and feet are beyond description.
1T is rather odd, but laughter is al
most never heard in this uproar; and
as for whistling, it is lost art. II
there are any Quarrels they are not
to be heard in public, although when a
company of natives gets to carrying on
an animated conversation it appears
to the observer as if the next act
would be a melee.
In addition to these natural sounds
there are others of an artificial char
acter that are equally familiar to the
traveller. Such is the noise of the
drums called tomtoms, which are
beaten on every occasion. and kline

Fly Matter.

is not now considered an ordinary and

suspected. The means that will pro

FERTILE LANDS AT Low PRICES
Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado
Land Within the Reach of All.

AS the country becomes more
thickly populated, and the prices
of really good farm land continue
to go higher, it becomes necessa-
ry for men of moderate means,
who desire to own farm of their
own, to follow the course of en-
pire, which it is said takes its
way westward.
Perhaps there is no more desir-
aole land, at low price, than
can BE found in western Kansas
and Eastern Colorado. Realizing
that there was a demand for such
land, Mr.. w. r. Pennington OF
this city made an extended ousi-
ness trip to that part of the coun-
try during July and personally
Investigated the land that was to
fSe had at a reasonable price. He
finally decided that the soil, eli
mate and ABUNDANT water supply
taken in consideration with the
price, made the land about Syr-
acuse, Kansas, and Towner, Colo
RADIO, about the best proposition
to offarto farmers and home
seekers that could be found.
The firm OF Pennington & Jones
OF this city now are in a position
to offer the public 100000 acres
Of iile, rich, fertile land, deeT
soil, at the very low price ol
$3.50 per acre, in tracts of 16(
acres or more. The land is a choc-
olate loan, 81 inches deep, and
will produce as large crops ol
wheat, corn, etc., as the Bottom
lands of this state. 1t also pro-
duces three crops of alfalfa g
season and is particularly vel
adapted to the production Of po-
tatoes and vegetables. An abun-
dance of pure, soft water is found
at depth Of ABOUT IS feet. The
annual rainfall is about the same
as in Missouri. If you are looking
for a location and want to buy
really desirable, productive lane
at low price investigate this
land.
