PICKS UP FIERY CIGARETTE
Bird Carries Burning Stub to Nest,
and the School Hall Is
Burned.

Valparaiso, Ind.-A smoldering Gig
arctic picked up and carried by
sparrow to the belfry Of Main hall
on the University of Valparaiso
campus the other day set fire to the
structure and almost resulted in its
destruction. 1t was only through
strenuous efforts on the part of the
fire company and the students that
the building, an old landmark, was
saved.
The belfry is used by a large num-
Der of sparrows as place to build
their nests. One of the students
threw lighted cigarette on the camp
us and an inquisitive bird searching
for something with which to line her
nest, picked it up and flew to the
tower. A few minutes later students
passing the building saw several of
the nests ablaze and the birds were
flying and screaming.
The fire company was summoned
but by the time it arrived the tow.

famed by a stiff breeze, the flames
threatened the entire structure. On

WHY THE GERMANS LEAD.
Influence Exerted by the Continuation School,
In the FatherIand.

An American manufacturer who had wondered
at the success OF his German competitors was
struck by certain big, flaming, oficiallooking
posters the billboards and around public build
ings in Berlin. He might have similar
posters in every city and town in Germany
Twice year these official posters summon the
youth of the land to obligatory attendance at the
trade and commercial schools. Hubert Evans
writes in Harper's Weekly. Indirectly they tell
why the American the English manufacturer
finds in the German such dangerous competitor.
They reveal the secret Of Germany's wonderful
commercial and Industrial prosperity and of her
commanding position world power. To the
philosophically inclined they suggest interesting
reflections the transformation of idealists and
dreamers into a nation Of materialists and doors.
There is scarcely anything in all Germany so
and modern the continuation schools.
This whole movement has been a matter Of only
few years and in it's present form the continue
ton school is child Of yesterday These insti-
tutions receive from the nation more and
solicitude than is bestowed upon the children of
the imperial family. They still in rapid
process Of change and development. Their very
success has encouraged further changes and
more stringent legislation in their behalf 1t is
only few years ago that an imperial industrial
law was passed giving community authority to
establish and maintain obligatory continuation
schools for youths, thus making good the failure
of certain German state governments to provide
for such school by state law One Of the last
acts of the reichstag last December was to amend
this law so as to make it apply to all girls en-

IN THE H|MALAYAS
Preaching the Gospel to People
of the Hill Country.
Rev. William Greet Tells of Work He
and His Wife Accomplished
Amongst Tehri and
Hindu Men.

Another report of adventure, toll,
and conquest comes from the Tehri
Border Village mission among the
Himalaya mountains, where Rev. VIII
liam Greet and his wife are carrying
the gospel message to the people Of
the hill country.
THE past seasons touring writes
Mr. Greet, "totaled up more than that
of any previous season, and included
reaching into some new country. One
of my first trips away from our fam
lily camp, after the writing Of our last
letter, was to see poor old Prema at

the Judgment of some who have lately
seen him, he seems a believer.
I'VE returned to our home in Janu-
airy for a few weeks and then went
out again to stay till April. This
time we pushed forward at once to
Devasari, a neighborhood of many
villages which last season we were
prevented from reaching. We pitched
our camp on the edge of pine wood
and close to a small ravine, on the
other side of which lay a long line of
villages. Close By our tent was the
temple to which, on special occasions,
the people gathered from all sides.

to some remarkable results from the

the truth. A most encouraging thing
during our touring in the hills this
past springtime was the extent To
which the truth of the Gospel was ad
mitted by a man who has served us
for years, but had always passively re
sisted all we said. He sat with me at
the close of hot journey up lone
gorge to a village, where we found
only one man, a lad and a child al
home. We conversed under the shade
| OF an apricot tree, concerning the Way
of Life and other ways, and at the
close our man, who has nearly always
boasted of the superiority of his owl
