to be held in indianapolis In october,
the third since It's Inauguration. Prop
osltions are now being made to have the
meeting assemble oftener, say every two
or three years, to elect officers that
nay serve during the five year period,
and so create q continuous of permanent
hody. and to hire secretary who shall
in effect be the head of Friends in Amer.
les, representing them on such occasions
when such spokesman may be required.
These changes, coming when similar
bodies of former loose organization are
seeking similar coordination, are meet
ing with stout opposition from conserya-
tive Quakers. who deplore the wide de-
parture from old Quaker days, Tie
younger element is however pushing for
the improvements, and seem likely to
carry them through. The five year
meeting has already secretary, and
that change Is simply an enlargement
OF his work The outline of his duties Is
not unlike that of the outline proposed
for the national secretary of the congre-
Gationalists, or that already In operation
fer the moderator of the Presbyterian
general assembly.
Orthodox Quakers now number nearly
100000 In number BY far their greatest
strength is in Indiana, with considerable
strength in Ohio The old Quaker COM
munities of Pennsylvania and Maryland
! have long since passed by the miGdlo
west. A proposition is now made that
! the five year netting be changed "
mime to The Superior Meeting of the
| Friends in America and it is said the
name is likely to be chosen. 1t Is accu-
late and not assuming, since orthodox
! Friends outnumber Hicksites five to one,
and are really the only considerable body
of Quakers ia America. The change
would leave the meeting free to meet Us
often as it chose to without change in
its name.

MUSIC TO ExTINGUIsH FIRE
San Francisco Man Bases Claim or
Vibration Theory

From the New York Times.
When Charles Kellogg of San Francisco
announced that he could sing fire out
there was soothing among the unbelievers.
They had heard of this man before and
knew he had done remarkable things.
They knew he could initiate any bird he
admired in the woodland: that he had
been able to procure wonderful pictures
of wild animals through the Sierra noun
tains, because he made them completely
rnafraid by his singing; they know thai
serpents had absolutely no terrors foi
him. But fire, they argued, has nc
life no mind, therefore 1t cannot be hyp-
notified. tanned or lulled
Nevertheless, fires are being sung out
under test conditions.
Fire, says Mr.. Kellogg, who denies all
wizardry, Is vibration; and just as 1T has
been shown in the laboratory that one
other, so the proper one will still the Vi
bration of fire, and when the vibration
is stilled, the fire is out
Mr.. Kellogg makes no claim that any
human voice can sing to quietude the vi
brations of a conflagration The eextn-
gushing vibrations must be of volume
commensurate with those to be controlled,
out ne uDes ~Hld1 Htdln that tue Hie-HEHt-
ing operation In the future will be based
upon these principles.
according to this theory, one may live
to see giant tuning forks or musical in
struments taking the place of the fir> en-
gires.
Kellogg was born in the California
mountains. where he grew up in close
touch with Nature. His ability to repro

Earth is phenomenal

empty cigar box in your hands In the
room where someone IS playing the piano.
ard every now and then you will feel that

where there are several small stringed In

times to hear a string sing with YOU.
The soothing, healing power of music

Midsummer in Russia has been ushered

The intense dryness of the season has
spread these fires over a huge area. One
the most dreadful fires that the Russian
steppes have ever seen ragged few days

American Bibles

Whatever happens to the Chinese re-
public. the Chinese are buying and read
ing American Bibles as they have never
done before. The American Bible so
ciety has issued for the first six months
of the current year nearly 600G0 more
bibles than for the corresponding period
last year, and in addition. its agent in
China, the Rev. Mr. John r. Hykes of
Shanghai, hurries to America the state
inent that he has orders for 100000 cop
les. This number is greater he reports,
than the society is able to supply.
In spite of large appropriations made
for the Society for bibles for China. the
society reports itself without funds 70

due in part to the high rate of exchange
resulting from the revolution in China.

Canon Herbert Hensley Henson, who is
to come to America for a stay of three
months, is one of the best known of Eng
nsh preachers of the day. He Is canon of
Westminster Abbey, one of them, and
rector of st. Margarets, writer and
preacher and the foremost leader among
the Broad church party In the Church of
England. He comes in pursuance of a
long cherished plan. This plan is purely
ersonal He represents no movement
either in this country or at home, beyond
Il general Christian one
Canon Henson will speak while here at
most principal universities. at Union and
Contra, Theological. semiAaries, and Will
preach In some principal Episcopal
churches In the large cities from Boston
and Washington and west to Chicago.
While some of his utterances, being ex-
tremcly low and broad, have shocked the
high church men on both sides, 1t is not
beiet ed that hin sermons and addresses
will provoke any controversy here, since
little of the ritualistic and broad church
strife obtaining In the Church OF England,
or between IT and the Nonconformists OF
England, gets across the Atlantic TO dis
turb America. Many have wondered why
IL does not, but a singular feature of re-
ligious experience is that 1t does not.
Canon Henson is London born, 80 years
of age, oxford educated, and prolific
writer on practical problems confronting
his church and the Christian cause. ST.
Margaret's, Of which he is rector, ad-
joins the abbey of which he is a canon,
