His Distinguishing Mark.

One day a big city bank recorded
the following message from one of its
country correspondents: "Pay twen-
ty-fve dollars to John Smith who will
call today" The cashiers curiosity
became suspicious when a cabman
assisted into the bank drunken
fare" and shouted that he was John
Smith and wanted some money. Two
clerks pushed, pulled and piloted the
boisterous individual into a private
room away from the sight and hearing
OF regular depositors. The cashier
wired the country bank:
"Man claiming to be John Smith is
here. Highly intoxicated. Shall we
await Identification"

"Well, said the boy, "she's keepin'
US from goin' in swimmin' and the
fellers sent me up to see if you'd take
her away from here.'
Brown was rather pleased with the
odd demand and he had the boy watch
his car while he ran down to the river
bank to advise the young lady of the
request the boys we're making. When
he returned to the car, he told the
boy that he and his companions could
go right ahead with their swimming
and that the young lady had agreed
not to look their way. The boy then
returned to his companions only to
come back to Brown a few minutes
later.
"Hey," said the boy.

Huge Lock Gates For Panama.

Boys dreaming at night of gates they
might sieze as Halloween trophies would
not in the widest nightmare imagine such
enormous gates as are being made in
PittSburg for the Panama Canal. They
will be the largest gates in the world.
Any one of the 90 of them-ior there
are to be 10 pairs in all-will be about as
high as a Six-story building, as wide t65
feet as many city buildings, and feet
thick.
The structural steel that will 90 TO make
them will weigh $1,000 tons, or over eight
times as much as was used to build the
Eifiel Tower in Paris.
The cost OF the gates will be s., 500. 900.
The builders are the McChntic- Marshall
Steel Construction Company, half Of
whose independent plant in Pntsburg has
been given over entirely to the gate con-
tract.
OF the 10000 tons of steel required the
heaviest single pieces will weigh about
IS tons. These will be the base girders,
which are seven feet wide and which will
be placed much like the first floor girderS
OF skyscraper. The series OF girders
above them will range from 3.S feet apart
near the bottom to feet apart at the top,
and over the skeleton structure thus
formed sheathing Of water-tight armor
plate will be bolted much after the fashion
of cIapboards on a house.
The thickness OF the plates will range
from an inch at the base to seven-Six-
teenthS of an inch at the top. The weight
Of single gate will be about 600 tons
and the dimensions are II TO 50 feet high
60 to 65 feet wide and feet thick.
The thousands of individual pieces,
numbered and fitted TO 90 together as
easily as childrenS blocks, will be ship
ped by steamer via Baltimore and with
them will 90 over 400 skilled structural
steel builders TO set them up. The ad-
vance guard of experts leaves there il
December and the first work will prob
ably begin early in 1911. II will take
three years to complete the job.
Each lock will be ample for a ship so
per cent larger than any vessel now
ailcat, and it has been estimated that as
many as 100 ocean ships may be handled
in a single day.

Reverence.

There is no human trait that reflects the
real lnwardness Of character more readily
than that of reverence for high and holy
things to be seriously lacking in this is to
betray anatue both coarse and untutored.
On the other hand. TO possess pro-
found respect for noble men; TO regard
with sacred honor all true womanhood ;
to hold in mingled affection and venera-
ton, the aged to accord preeminence to
those in authority for their own and their
works sake; TO permit no flippant refer
ence to holy things to keep ones self
aloft from the low and mean and TO main
tain spirit of awe and worshipful regard
for the deity is to store up the mind and
heart with such quality OF power as will
leave the world no doubt as to the royal
ty OF ones nature. Even the wreckleSsly
prodigal reverences the majesty OF such a
life

Falling Bodies.

A man falling from three STORY build
ing in New Orleans will not fall as fast as
he would if he were in New York city
In fact, in hardly any two places will he
fall with the same speed. This is be-
cause as we 90 toward the equator the
force of gravity gets less and less, and
consequently the acceleration Of falling
body becomes less, and the force Of i'm
pact is therefore less.
While it does not make very much dif-
ference in the injury to a person falling
from a height, It does make a difference
in other things. Take a rifle and fire it
exactly horizontally, and ifthe gunis six
teen feet above the ground, say, at New
York the bullet fired from such rifle will
strike the ground in exactly one second
after it leaves the rifle. II the bullet has
a horizontal velocity OF 1000 feet per
second if will strike the earth exactly
1000 feet away. Let us take the same
rifle to a place where the force Of gravity
is not the same as at New York, but a
good deal smaller, say two-thirdS smaller.
We find that if the gun is placed sixteen
feet above the ground, as before, and alb
solutely horizontal the bullet will not fall
the sixteen feet in one second, but will
take over one and a half seconds to fall,
thus enabling the bullet TO be in the air
during that length Of time. Therefore il
will strike the ground about 1000 feet
away. Thus it is seen that the range Of
a rifle is increased as il is taken toward
the equator
OF course there is no place on the earth
where the force Of gravity is two-thirds
smaller than at New York, but there are
many places where the difference is con-
siderable enough to affect slightly the
range OF rifles.

time, TO assure himself that all was well
with his patient One day he held out a
book with small print to the tailor as
test for his eyes The tailor took the
book in his hands. but could not read a
word OF the text. The doctor got book
with larger type, but to his diSmay the
tailor could not make out single word.
This singular condition Of the eyes puz-
zled the oculist extremely, but he con-
soIed himself by writing long account
of il for a scientific journal, and the case
was discussed by all the doctors far and

One day an old maidservant, who had

One Who Was Ready.

So few are ready when the call
Is waited shoreward from the deep:
The summons that must come TO all.
The tryst that mortal men must keep.
But he was ready; through the day
He did his task and lived his prayer;
A weary hill made hard the way
He saw the roses growing there.
Andwhen the twilight hour drew near.
He stood beside the silent sea:
And in his heart there was no fear
OF all its dread immensity.
He waited there in perfect faith,
The while the fading day grew dim;
The boatman's hail, The voyage OF death,
Meant only going home TO him.
