Louisville, Ky.-There has beer

eastern seaboard and Europe. AS the
Panama canal approaches completion

Watterson had the following to say
in regard to it:
ITO the untraveled mind the south

east Atlantic from Palm Beach and
Miami to Key West and on the gulf
coast from Tampa down by Charlotte
harbor and Boca Grande, including
the Lake 0kechobee and Caloosa-
hatchie regions to the Dry Tortugas,
seems a long ways off.
1T is just outside the door Of our
back yard. Presently the Gulf of
Mexico, made worlds thoroughfare
by the completion of the Panama ca
nal, will be the Mediterranean sea of
the western hemisphere. Then the

"And Jesus, moved with compass.
sion, put forth his hand and touched
him, and saith unto him, will; be
thou clean.-Mark 1:41
The whole virtue of this transac-
ton runs out through the touch of
Jesus. So often is il thus! AT the
end of His touch stand the loosened
tongue of the dumb, the opened eyes
of the blind, the raised body of the
dead The touch of Jesus!
This touch OF the leper was illegal.
The social code OF Israel, mediated
by Moses, was very strict as TO this
terrible disease. Ii described the dis
ease. II directed the diagnosis. 1t
prescribed rigid surveillance. And
in the further interests of public
health it dictated the entire segrega-
ton of the unfortunate victim of the
fell disease. The sick man must not
approach others. He must warn
others not TO approach him. With
covered upper lip, the sign of his
sickness, he must also cry, "Unclean,
uncleanr' on the approach OF those
who might be tainted. Jesus knew
this. But he touched him." Mer-
cy overreaches law.
The touch was unnecessary. Jesus
might have simply spoken, as He did:
and that had been sufficient. Another
suppliant for healing at another time
said, "But speak the word and my
servant shall be made whole" A
word had done as we'll here. But
mercy does not calculate how little
is sufficient. 1t thrills with compass
sion. 1t speaks the healing word.
II reaches out and gives the supreme
touch. Ii deals out full measure,

stories of spiritual lepers healed by

GLASS PAVING A FAILURE
Experiments in France Show the Ma
terial VIII Not Stand the Traf-
fie In Streets.

Seven or eight years ago a plant
was established at La Demi Lune, a
suburb about four miles from Lyon,
France, for making glass paving ma
teTial under the name of pierre de
verre Garchey." After many expert
ments carried out at the factory the
manufacturer applied to the Lyon mu-
inequality for the right to make trial
on one Of the chief thoroughfares.
The necessary authorization was
granted, provided that the inventor
would bear the entire expense of the
undertaking.
The place chosen for laying the
glass pavement was section of the
Place de la Republique, where traffic
of cabs, automobiles and wagons of all
kinds is very heavy. The glass bricks
remained in place for less than two
years and were then taken out as they
were in very poor condition, the edges
were all broken, and in many cases
the blocks were split through and
through. The opinion of officials here
at that time was to the effect that
this glass pavement could be used un'
der favorable circumstances for side
walks, but not for the middle Of
streets.-Consular and Trade Reports.

A short time ago party of young
women tourists from the west visited
the New York geological park and
called on DR.. Hornaday, to whom they
had letter of introduction. The d.
rector personally conducted their in
spection of the park, answered their
rafting fire of questions and placed
at their disposal so far as possible his
vast fund of information on topics in
his line. AS they were about to leave
he surprised them by giving them
some advice in different direction
and of a nature that visitors to New
York do not usually receive.
Nov, girls" he said, "of course you
wish to see everything in New York,

such places for the purpose of looking
at degradation, and you can use your

FRANK GETS
HIS AGAIN.

Frank Clark is "getting his these
days. AS press agent Frank would
have been great success. On Wash
ington's birthday the Honorable Frank
arose in his seat and stated with due
solemnity that he had been member
of the House for seven years and that he
had seen ii proposed TO Republican
Houses time and again that the Farewell
Address of Washington be read, and
that every time the motion was voted
down by Republicans. But now, the
House being Democratic, the Honorable
Frank proposed that the clerk read the
immortal message. A member standing
nearby proposed as substitute that the
gentleman from Florida read the mes
sage himself, and so he did. This was
sufficient 10 get big headlines in the news
papers. Ii was not until week later
that the Honorable Frank was called TO
time by Mr.. Mann, Republican, of Illi-
nois, in this wise:
1.-THE gent leman from Florida is
usually very accurate in his statements,
but think it proper TO call the attention
OF the House TO the fact that on this oc-
casion the gentleman was mistaken and
that his innuendo or inSinuation leveled
at the Republicans was misplaced and
not justified by the facts. Last year
made request for unanimous consent,
which was granted, that the gentleman
from Texas [Mr. Sheppard might have
an opportunity to deliver an address up
on George Washington, and he did de-
liver an address which was replete with
information, and praise. Two years
ago, on the I'D of February, the gentle
man from Minnesota mir. Nyel delivered
in the House splendid eulogy on
George Washington. Three years age
the gentleman from Illinois mir. Boutell.

Washington's Farewell Address; and
not only that, but on the 18th of Febru
airy he read Lincoln's Gettysburg ad

read on the suggestion of some gentle
man on the Democratic side of the
House For several years prior to tina
no request was made on either side o.

hence no Republican objected to it.
