Edueation a Failure.

Senator Robert L. Owen Of oklaho. ma. whose mother was Cherokee Indian. stirred up some excitement down Oklahoma way in one of the first lawsuits he ever tried.
 The opposing counsel saw ft to call owen a liar
 Owen got up and addressed himself to the court In about this language:
 "InasmuCh as the court hhs done nothing to maintain It's own dignity and as aui amply able to take care of myself. shall take this affair Into my own hands,"
 Then he turned to the lawyer across the table and remarked to him in 6 loud voice that he was both liar and a blackguard and that, furthermore. he could just take that, and that, and that, whereupon the opposing counsel fell Co the floor as one man. Owen had used only his 6st, but everybody ID the courtroom fed, not knowing when bullets might be in the air.
 After the affair was over the lawyer who had called owen a liar stood op the front steps of the courthouse and observed to a couple of friends:

 "'one day. Jones went on in bis usual droIl way, ths hotel caught fire. Now, when "the" hotel catches fire in small town ii means something. This hotel was three stories high, and we believed It the largest in the known world, having seen none any larger.
 "'whcu the fire bell rang all of us ran home to get our new suits on be fore attempting to 6ght such s 6re. When wa reassembled, one by one. that hotel was certainly going some. In third story window was man who. SO 1 learned later, travelled for a wholesale rubber house. He said some. tbiug about how he would Ike to be saved. but we could not understand him.
 "'This fellow got real mad and. go ing back ih his room. put on some kind of rubber suit, which he blew up. Then he leaped from that awful tsll building, three stories high. He struck the ground and bounced back as nigh as the top of the hotel
 Was De savedy generally asked the bystahders for whom the story wns intended.

THE DAILY MIRACLE
Suggested by summer sunrisel

The Skeptic scofs: "Why showeth not VOLT God Some Wondrous miracle in this our ape. ~ AS you declare Of old He used to grant To teach His children of an earlier age
 His presence and His power in the word9s on, Skeptc, cease thy vauntings and thy sneers But a the dying hour of light look uD Unto the sable sky, and there behold A slgn more mighty and sublime than was The sea for lsfsels fleeing hosts made dry Or than Elijahs chariot of fire
 For there, upon the boundess fields of space Shalt thou see Waged in silent majesty A combat older than old earth herself Creations miracle wrought out anew No nc:se Of shouts is heard or weapons clash. But To. upon the eastern horizon Appear the heralds of the King of Day. In gold, i'll plrple and in scarlet clad. No trumpet-hlas they sound and yet forthwith Their challenge speeds athwart million leaenes Of awed and breahess space and puts to rout And headlong flight the grim Plutonan hosts Fer yet the King himself comes forth in state, To flood the world with his efulgent sheen And when at last he comes, who shall describe The granduer and the glory of that scene, The earth is thrilled with beauty and with Hehta Each dull and lfeless cod awakes; the flow'rs Lift uF their heads; the birds sin gout; and all Creation bursts into harmonious praise Oh, victory! Oh, miracle indeed! Look up, Oh, Doubter let thine eyes behold Then ask-if still thou canst-for sign from God. JOSEPH JASIN

INSTRUMENT THAT
TELLS THE WEATHER.
speetrosoope Barometer Detects the
Coming of Rain.

A wonderful new pocket spectroscope
barometer, the description Of which
sounds almost too good to be true, is
the subject of an article in the London
Daily Mirror. 1t Is little instrument
like a small telescope, costs only a few
shillings and can easily be carried in
the waistcoat pocket. This spectre
scope is the detective of rain, for the
presence Of water vapor in the air,
however far away, has a visible effect
on the Instrument.
To use the spectroscope one simply
looks through 1t toward the horizon In
the direction from which the wind is
blowing
On gazing through the spectroscope
n sudden vision Of bright colors, like n
piece of imprisoned rainbow, appears
before the eyes. The colors are iden-
tcal with those Of the rainbow-dark
purple, blue, green, yellow and red.
And it Us the narrow band Of yellow
the brightest in the whole color scheme
which gets disturbed at the approach
Of rain.
If rain is coming a thin dark line ap-
pears over the patch of yellow.
A scientist explained how the spec
troscope detects the approach of stormy
conditions. THE nearer the approach
Of rain the more pronounced do the
lines on the yellow band become" he
said IF the yellow band is quite dis
tinct and free from any lines one may
be assured that the weather will be
fine, at least for some hours to come
There is one fixed dark line always
present in the yellow part Of the spec
trum, but one soon becomes familiar
with this and ignores It.
''The reason that lines appear on the
yellow band Is that when there Is
water vapor between the spectroscope
and the sunlight the moisture cuts
out and absorbs part Of the yellow
band, leaving one or more black lines
IN its place These black lines are
caused by the absence of color and
their extent and clearness may deter
mine the severity Of the rainstorm and
how soon 1t is likely to come.
When using the instrument one
must always look in the direction the
wind is blowing from, as 1t will, OF
course, be from that point Of the com
pass that water vapor will come. Once
one has become an adept with It the
spectroscope is far more certain than a
barometer for forecasting rain, as the
latter is Influenced by many other
causes, while the former is Influenced
by nothing except the water vapor IN
the air.
