pertaining to women and will ex-

of women. Recently she was elected
a delegate to the international coun-
ell, and her exposition of the Ameri-

the program.

IMPORTANT TEXAS INDUSTRY.

The Ignite Goals of Texas are ex-
cellent fuel for stationary plants and
domestic purposes. The coal mining
industry in Texas at present is not
extensive, but the time is not far dis
tant when the state will rank as an
important coal producer. There are
thousands of acres Of Ignite coal in
several counties of Texas. The coal
runs from four feet to ten feet in
thickness, ranging from 80 feet to
80 feet under the surface. At differ
emit places in the same section coal
is found at depth of 1875 feet. The
seams have no gas or fire damp and
the Ignite is easily mined.

STORY OF THE GREAT FLOOD
One Similar to That Of Biblical Mar
ration Found on Tablet 1000
Years Old.

The fragments Of cuneiform tab
let, discovered IL years ago, but de-
ciphered only recently by Prof. II. V.
Hilprecht Of the University Of Penn
sylvania, tells the story of ''the
food" much after the style Of the
Biblical narration. Prof. Hilprecht
ascribes the date of the tablet to be
between 2137 and 2106 B. G. II was
excavated from the lowest stratum Of
the oldest part Of the ruins Of the
temple library at Nippur, south Of
Babylon, and is made Of unbaked
clay.
As translated by Professor Hill
precht the inscription is as follows
the words in parenthesis being added
by him; ("I declare unto) thee that
the confines of heaven will loosen,
a deluge will make and it shall
sweep away all men together, but
thou (the Babylonian Noah) seek
life before the deluge cometh forth I;
for to all living beings, as many as
there are, will bring overthrow, de-
struction, humiliation. Bull
struction, humiliation. Build

saved of life with strong
deck cover it. The ship which thou
shalt make, into it bring the beasts
of the field, the birds of heaven and
the creeping things, two of every
thing, instead of number .
and the family. " The frag-
ment is not written in Sumerian, the
ancient sacred language of Babylo-
MIA, but in the Semetic dialect Of
the country.

LIGHT THAT HAS NO HEAT
Improved Form Of tho GelssIer Tube
OVercomes Difficulty That Has
Puzzled Scientists.

When the current of Rhumkorff
induction coil is passed through a
glass tube in a vacuum the tube
glows with brilliant light. This is
the light of the future. Hitherto it
has not been possible to produce
light without producing heat. But
recently an improved form of the
Geissler tube has been invented
which has overcome this difficulty.
The light of the future will glow
through long transparent tubes Of all
sizes and calibers, able to take the
most varied directions and to run
horizontally, vertically or obliquely,
forming stars, rosettes, spirals, ara
besques, etc.
The tubes radiate diffused glow
from end to end. The effect is a
splendid, intense lunar light. This
is the colorless light requires by
painters for their studios, for muse
ums and for the home. BY charging
the tubes with different gases various
colors can be obtained. Nitrogen
gives warm golden glow.-Harper's
Weekly.

The fellow had been terribly bad. II
he lacked anything OF total depravity,

He had been brutal and debauched

Large Congregation Present When
Rev. William Denham Assumes
Passionate of Bethel Church

T. R. English, D. D., of Richmond,
preached the sermon by special re-
quest. Rev. Alfred T. Graham, D.

D. Waller charged the people. Rul-
ing elders A. r. Giikeson ana r. H.
Dudley, of Union church, and W. III.

church, were the elders of the COM
mission.
Rev. Denham assisted Rev. White
last summer at Churchville, and
through his unusually acceptable
work in that field the Bethel church
came to know him and to call him,
and it was a happy occurrence when
the pastor and the four ruling elders
from that charge could be present
and members of the Commission OF
Lexington Presbytery to ordain and
install him over a neighboring
church.
The other members of the com
mission were also selected because Of
relations with the new pastor. DR.
