She remembered suddenly her last
service az the Buddhist temple across
the lane, and how the old priest had
bade her a gentle farewell wishing her
peace and JOY in her new religion, and
saying smilingly that all religions We're
augustly good, since they pointed the
same way She saw the nunnery, with
its tall clumps of yellow dahlias and
wild hydrangeas; above which hung
gauzy robes that waved like gray ghosts
escaping from the mold into the sum
shine She saw the cherry trees touched
by the golden summer night, the messy
monuments in the burying ground, the
pigeons huttering about the hchened
pavement
The audience was singing now-the
japanese version of Jesus, Lover Of My
Soul"
''Waga tamashii wo
Al suru Yesu yo
Mani wa sakamatd.
Kaze fuki-arete."
She could no longer be Christian.
But the old gods of her people shining
from their golden altars-the ancient di-
whites who looked forever down above
the sound of prayer-they would smile
upon her!

How Gunpowder Acts.

coal and sulphur The sulphur is mere

end OF e sulphur match The charcoal
which IS pure carbon. is the ingredient
that burns. Why, then. the saltpetero
Simply because saltpeter contains the
oxygen required for combustion. All
three OF these ingredients are reduced
to fine dust and thoroughly mixed TO-
gether. When the sulphur is iynited,
the heat thus generated causes the
saltpeter to give up its oxygen to the
particles OF charcoal with which it Is
50 intimately mingled. The charcoal is
burned IN tremendous hurry: IN other
words, converted instantly into hot gas.

The process, It will be observed. Is
substantially the same as that con-
cerned in an explosion OF flour dust, or
sugar dust; the only difference being
that in case OF gunpowder, the oxy-
gen required for com bustion is supplied

mixed with it, whereas in the other
instances the dust, OF whatever in

gasoline and kerosene in his oil wagon
Monday morning and started for Doug

wheels drop by the wayside and as
result over 200 hundred gallons OF oil
was spilled and lost right there in the
