harmony with his Creator; nor is it
necessary always that there shall be
a preceptor. At times, under Gods
providence, the message from on High
reaches the heart, and draws Ii with
seemingly little resistance. The hol-
lowness of fife is perceived, the need
of wisdom from on High is recognized,
and perhaps by the servant, perhaps
through parental instruction, perhaps
through the counsels of a friend, per-
maps by tract or book, the young
heart is shown the way of wisdom and
is pointed to the Lord and to the mar
row way.
We are to remember that the will is
the real director of our desting, under
Divine providence, and that ii is all
important to have the will rightly di-
reeted and established Many a one

King Josiah OF today's study is an
example of the proper course for every

heart should be given to the Lord in

CONTRACT IS GIVEN
FOR BARRY STATUE
Memorial to Naval Officer to
Be Placed in Franklin
Park, This City.

The congressional Barry statue COM
chairman ex officio, has just concluded
a formal contract with John J. Boyle a
New York sculptor, for the erection in
this city of a statue of Commodore John
Barry, a distinguished naval officer of
the early days of the republic. In 1906
Congress appropriated $4,000 for this
memorial The delay in the execution of
the law has been due in the main to the
prolonged controversy that arose over
the selection of an appropriate design for
the statue. The Barry statue commission
originally approved the design submitted
in 1909 by Andrew O'COnnor of Paris,
but in March. 1910. rejected that and all
other designs submitted in that competi-
ton. At the same time Mr.. Boyle was
invited to submit design for the statue
and he did so several months later. 1t
was not entirely satisfactory, and at the
suggestion of the commission of fine arts
the sculptor was asked to modify it in
several particulars, including the archi-
tectural treatment.
Sculptor Boyle subsequently, submitted
a new model embodyins the changes sug-
gested, and that model recently was
approved by the fine arts commission,
with the result that formal contract
now has been entered into with the Sculp-
tor for the erection of the statue with
out unnecessary delay. The design was
examined and approved also by special
committee of artists, consisting of Paul
J. Bartlett WaRer Cook and Whitney
Warren The statue will be erected in
Franklin Park. a knoll on the 18th
street side. between / and X streets.

CanarieS Used in Mines
to Detect Poisonous Gas

Inc use of canary birds as an aid in the
rescue OF miners entombed as the result
OF an explosion has just been successfully
demonstrated by the federal bureau of
mines at the Briceville, Tenn mine dis
aster. Four men were taken alive from
the mine Monday night, and this was
made possible. 1t is declared through Tho
use of these birds. This Is the first hip
disaster in which the canaries have played
in such a role for humanity's sake. They
are carried into the mine by the helmeted
rescuers for the purpose of detecting the
first signs of poisonous gases. The canary
Is the most sensitive being in the world
to any atmosphere that will not s,Innort
life. and it is for this reason he is an i'm
portant factor in the saving of life in the
mines A man can safely stand twice a.
much POISONOUS gas without fatal effects
me men wearing oxygen helmes have
no fear OF the after-damp that follows a
mine explosion. as they breathe the oXy-
gen. but 1T has been found necessary i'm
all great disasters to have as great a
supporting body of volunteer rescuers
without helmets i'm order that the injured
men may be removed from the mine be-
fore they succumb to the gases. The
canaries. carried by the helmeted res
cuers, act as an immediate warning to
the volunteers. AS soon as the birds
show the slightest sympt oms of dizziness
the miners aiding in the rescue work are
ordered to retreat The bird Is not al
lowed to languish and die in the poison
our gases, but is placed in an inclosed
cage and given a supply of oxygen.
which soon restores the canary to his
usual good spirits and health.
Experts Believe in Birds.
Not only do the bureau Of mines ex-
perts believe that the canares will be
instrumental In saving the lives of MANY
miners, but they are firm In the opinion
that the great loss of life in the past
among rescuers will be stopped. AT
Hanna, Wyo.. several years ago forty
men went to the rescue OF fourteen en-
tombed men and all We're killed At the
Cherry mine fire. in Illinois. the twelve
rescuers who went down in the cage
were brought UP dead. This has been the
history of mine rescue work in the United
States for years.

mented with them at number of
small accidents. At one such accident
in Pennsylvania, before the bureaus $
rescuers had arrived, the miners. in
seeking for two of their comrades had
encountered so much after-damp ,hat
they were with difficulty taken from
the mines by fresh volunteers. When
the bureaus safety car reached the
mines nearly all of the available vol
unteer rescuers were In bed suffering
from gas poisoning. some of them in
serious condition. The remaining few

cuers and with Il canary to give the
first signal of after-damp, they We're
able to reach two or three entOmbed
men and bring them to safety. The
miners who assisted in the rescue did
not suffer the slightest discomfort, as
they retrcated the moment the canary
gave the sign of the presence Of gas.
As IL result of this experience the mine
inspectors of several states are now
keeping supply of canary birds.
