Air I'm Cold Storage Plant Too Poor
to support Combustion.
1t was recently noticed in a cold stor
age plant that candles or lamps began
! to burn with a feeble flame as soon as
that in many parts of it they were ex.
| tlnguished. A match could be lit, but
the wax would not ignite.
In the corner of the storeroom was q
dlsused well from which gas issued
and 1t was at first supposed that car
bon dioxide was being distributed into
the air from this well.
But this was not borne out by analy-
sis of the air In the room and from
the well, for the amount OF carbon
dioxide was only slightly more than is
present In normal air and was quite
insufficient to have affected the COM
bustion of a candle. a.
Samples of the air taken from differ
ent parts Of the room contained only
17.5 to III per cent Of oxygen, or from
80 to "a per cent less than is present
in normal air, The oxygen in the air
in the shaft OF the well amounted to
no more than SO and 80 per cent and
other experiments confirmed the con-
clusion that the air in the storeroom
was ordinary air containing less than
its proper proportion Of oxygen, owing
to admixture of air deprived Of its
oxygen which Issued from the well.
The source of the Impoverished air
from the well was finally traced to
tunnellng operations close by in which
compressed was being used. The
air must have found Its way through
the soil wherever 1t was sufficiently por-
Gus and SO into the shaft of the well |
and on Its passage. through the soil
must have been deprived of part of its

Evidence In support of the correctness

Slipping Away.

They are slipping away-these sweet
swift years,
/ Like a leaf on the current cast:
With never a break in their rapid flow,
We watch them as one by one they so
Into the beautiful past.
AS silent and swift as the weaver's thread
Or an arrows flying CLEAN,
As soft as the dangerous breezes hid,
That lift the willows golden lid,
And ripple the CLASSY stream.
As light as the breath of the thistle
down,
As fond as lovers dream,
As pure as the flush of the sea shells
throat,
SO tender and sweet they seem.
One after another we see them pass
Down the dim-lighted stair;
We hear the sound of their steady tread
In the steps Of centuries long since dead,
As beautiful and as fair.
There are only few years left to live,
Shall we waste them in idle strife?
Shall we trample under our ruthless feet
Those beautiful blossoms, fair and sweet,
By the dusty ways of life?
There are only few swift years-ah let
No envious taunts be heard
Make life's fair pattern of rare design,
And fiji up the measure with loves sweet
wine,
But never an angry word.

These are the letters used by one
of Gods handmaldens to record her
experience with His promises, "1'' and
"P"
All intelligent Christians should base
their petitions ON some definite promise
OF Gods Word, and plead His gracious
obligation to hear. This woman did so.
She brought her desires to the Lord
making mention Of some particular pas
sage of Scripture which warranted her
In making the request. She poured out
her heart In humble and believing pc
tition, and left 1t with Him, making In
the margin alongside the promise the
letter TT" BY this she meant tried"
She was putting that promise to be-
llevlng test.
When God answered the desire of
her heart, she added to the marginal
record "and p" BY this she meant
"and proved" This simple and beauti-
full treatment of Gods Word is full of
suggestion to us.
1t win awaken desire to know more
of the promises; and when Christian
has not only prayed in the right spirit,
but has watched for and found the an
swer, and thus proved the efficacy of
his prayer, he Will experience a grow
Ing desire to have more and more of
the Joy and power of TT and "P."
Truly, God revealeth Himself unto ev-
cry generation.
