The Flat Wheel.

The enormous energy developed by
a fat spot in a wheel has been esti-
mated by Professor Hancock OF Pur-
due university. He finds that a fat
spot two and one-half inches long on
a thirty-three inch wheel, carrying a
load of 5000 pounds at thirty miles
per hour, will deliver a blow to the
rail Of more than 1000 foot pounds.
The same fat wheel supporting a fifty
five ton interurban car running sixty
miles per hour would deliver a blow
with an energy Of $500 foot pounds.
Such a fat spot would be produced by
wearing off less than five one-hun-
dredths of an inch Of metal.-Scien-
tihc American.

rest of persistent h|dgh by depress-
ing the tongue. patient was attack
ed by hiccough which had persisted
for four days before being seen by the
doctor. He complained of the fullness
in his throat, q condition which he
thought the result Of the hiccough.
He was directed to sit up. and with a
large spoon handle the tongue was
pressed down and back with steady
force to allow inspection of the fauces.
Firm pressure on the tongue with the
hope Of further noting the action Of
the palatal muscles was continued.
when. to the doctors surprise and the
patients establishment and joy, the
hiccough ceased. When the hiccough
returned the patient himself stopped
it by using the spoon handle.-London

aLoy AT THE PHONE.
ANY of His Tribesmen Will Do to
Answer His Call.

40 - HstSWCE THO vail
The Indians are great on using the
telephone. They have but little or no
use for the local boards, their calls
being over the long distance. They
do not put in a call for the individual.
They do not ask for White Eagle at
Canton or Flying Cloud at Darlington.
The call is for "any Cheyenne" The
same is true as TO the Arapahoes.
Any member Of the tribe serves.
An Indian puts in a call for any
member of his tribe at Canton, OAR
lington, Colony, Lawton or any point.
1t is ''up to" the manager to go out on
the street and pick up an Indian. Any
one will do, so he is Of the tribe asked
for. He is put up to the phone and
the talk proceeds. The talk being in
Indian. no n knows what it is about.
If an Indian, say, in Clinton wants
to reach one of his people, say, forty
miles from Canton or any other given
point, he calls for one Of his tribes
men. tells him the message he desires
delivered, and it is his business to de-
liver it, even though it requires a
night trip and in a storm.
A little Indian baby died near Clin-
ton last year, and his mother desired
that her relatives attend the funeral
services. They lived out on the prairie
northwest of Canton: The telephone
was used and a member of the tribe
directed to deliver the message to the
mothers relatives. 1t was delivered
by q courier across the prairies aid
canyons, and the relatives came in
over the Orient next day.
Last summer a call came to Clinton
for q Kiowa that was a poser for the
manager. However, lie found upon
inquiry among the Cheyennes that
there was one who had lived among
the Kiowas and spoke the dialect. BE
was put up to the phone and received
the cali.-Clinton Cor. Dallas News.

The Atrnosphere Of Mars.

Professor Percival Lowell. the as
tronomer, says that the assistants at
his observatory at Flagstaff. Ariz.,
have been able to determine that there
is measurable water vapor on the
planet Mars and that the atmosphere
.of Mars affects the spectrum in the
same way. though only one-ffth as
much. as does the earth's atmosphere.
There has been much controversy
with reference to the atmosphere of
Mars and its qualities. Those scien-
fists who disbelieye in any life on the
planet have known that their point
could be proved if the absence Of an
atmosphere should be shown.

SOUL WINNING VICTORIES.
The greatest victories in soul WIN

1t was not too much for him to preach
a marvellous sermon to one rabbi who
came to him by night. He gladly gave
the water of life to one woman at the
wei of Samaria. He found one pub
l1can IN tree and, inviting himself to
his house, transformed his life and
his home. And he revealed himself to
one woman near the holy city after
his resurrection. This is the divine
plan OF propagating the gospel, and 1t
is founded in the nature of man. Per-
sonal work, personal testimony and a
personal word of invitation tell when
other things fail. The politician, the
commercial traveller, the insurance
agent, know that this is the way to
success. and they succeed because they
deal with men as individuals. Each
Christian must be personal evangel-
ist- The question so often asked.
When will the masses be sayed?" is
answered, when we want them bad
ly enough to go after them" The hu-
man heart is as hungry as ever for
the Christ, but the soul with whom he
truly abides must take him to the
needy life. The Zone by One club"
is the club of today; its motto. I'm
one; I'll win the other."-Rev. DIR.

are consumed by a dominating pur-
pose that they produce the most pow
erful literature. Isaiah had something
to say to his own people; and. 10. it
has continued to be a message to all
the centuries since.
The Isaiah note is suited to our day.
He conceived of the social aspect of
religion. To his vision there appeared
a golden age when peace should reign,
and men should war no more. A
great peace congress is TO be held in
Chicago this month. and the Scripture
lessons, and many Of the platform
quotations, will doubtless be taken
from this ancient Hebrew sage.
Isaiah is best known and loved by
Christian readers for his Messianfc
passages. His portrait of the Christ
is dear to every devout heart 1t de-
picts Jesus as we know him in the
New Testament. And his other most
popular charge Is the invitation to SAL

some of the more pertinent teachings
of the prophet in these paragraphs:

When the world knows God, the
most useless thing on earth will be a
sword; it is to be transformed into one
of the most useful things on earth, a
ploughshare (2:4).
To cease from man" is merely to
begin with God (2:22).
Every man feeds upon his past
bitter food or sweet. yet he must eat
it (3:1O).
In Isaiah's day there was the devil
of the buying up of great tracts of
land that are not really used (5:S).
The sensual man considers music.
and art, and literature. perhaps. but
he does not consider the one thing
best worth considering, namely. theol-
ogy (5:12).
What man is in his own eyes never
counts; let him learn to see himself
with the eyes of God (5:21).
Whenever men are in perplexity. let
them raise the ancient cry. ITO the
law and to the testimony" (S:20).
What a little glimmer of light was
vouchsafed to Isaiah, and yet he would
call it a "great light" (9:2).
Eight elements in the wonderful
name of Christ. BY how many of
these names has our heart learned to
call him? (9:6).

So rapidly has home mission work

In any age Isaiah would be ranked as

Literature reaches its highest form
when it speaks to the deepest religious

The greatest author Is he who has
