arsenic and other poisons with i'm

phosphorus, prussic acid, arsenic and
oxalic acid, which he proceeded to
consume before the eyes, taking an
antidote afterward which was sup

to show that he was as impervious to
heat as to poison, he would take a

WHY THUNDER S0URS MILK

1t has often been observed that some
foods, such as milk, meat and soup, go
bad when there is a thunderstorm.
This has generally been attributed to
the electricity causing an extra sup
ply of ozone, in the air. but expert
ments conducted recently by Prof.
Trillat in France do not confirm this
theory.
Prof. Trillat has proved that infini-
testmal traces Of the gases of putres-
cence cause Tactic ferments to pro-
gress with great rapidity. It is known
that atmospheric depressions cause
the gases lying in the earth and In
all other objects to come to the sur
face. This is what makes doors more
perceptible after storm. From this
it was a natural deduction that atmo-
spheric depression accelerated decay
by liberating the gases in milk or 9th
er perishable foods.
Prof. Trillat made many expert
ments with substances under varying
degree of atmospheric pressure and
proved that the lower the barometer
the more rapid the decay.

MANY USES FOR PROPOSES

The only porpoise OIL factory on the
Atlantic coast is established about six
miles below Cape Hatteras and near
Hatteras Inlet. Along this coast por-
poises are plentiful through about six
months of the year, and there are
three crews of fishermen who make
busin ess of catching them for the oil
factory. For the reason that porpoises
are easily frightened the fishermen
must be wary and quiet who would
meet with success. The method en-
ployed Is to impound school in
wide-meshed net 1rst and then to take

Child Explained.

Sinker told the following story: He
was one day giving a lesson to his
school children at Goole. He had been
talking to them about colors and had
explained that white denoted good
ness and black sin.
Wishing to drive his lesson further
home, Sinker said: Nov, children,
have you ever noticed the colors OF
my hood?"
'Yes, sir; black and white
Quite right, and what do those col
ors signify?"
After a short pause one small child
answered:
Please, sir, you wear black because
you are a sinner, and white because
you are trying to be good!"

GIVING TESTIMONY is DUTY
Every Christian Heart Called On for
Utterance of It's Perfect Love
and JOY.

1t Is a grievous mistake to smother
the suggestions of the heart, to ST..
lence the words of love which spring
to the lips, to deny ourselves and our
kindred the expression of admiration,
sympathy and affection. They who
fail to tell their love to Christ and
who withhold from him the tokens of
allegiance and devotion, exhibit this
fault in its saddest and guiltiest form;
ing the sublimest passion which can
glow in the human heart, and on
whose pure flame depends the might
lest consequences. Great and newt
able. indeed, is the revenge of the
wronged instinct. Joseph c0nsecrated
for Jesus a special tomb; yet Joseph
will never rank with John who con-
tinued with the master in his tempta-
lions, who leaned upon his breast,
shared his sorrows and stood by his
cross. Nicodemus, as though con-
scious that he had serious arrears to
make up, brought hundred pounds
weight of spices to embalm the sacred
body; yet will never rank with Mary,
who before the whole company broke
the box of spikenard on the head and
feet of her LIKING, loving Lord. The
true Christian heart, here and now,
aches to voice its love and joy, and
to choke It's utterance, to deny its
testimony and service, is to quench
the spirit, or at best 20 leave a few
fading sparks of what ought to be a
quenchless fire-Rey. William L. Wat

us of that ''fervent heat" In which
''the earth also shall melt" and when
air is passed over that arc one natur-

nature. What does happen is that the
oxygen in the air is burnt up, utterly
consumed. That which remains is, a
colorless gas. as invisible >as the air
itself, which is known as nitric oxide
This, driven out into the air, recon-
bines with it, the result being. of
course, twice as much nitrogen as
there was before to the same amount
of oxygen: in other words, nitrogen
dioxide (NO2) The next step is just
as childishly simple. There is added
one more ingredient, no rare and
mystic compound to transform the air
by magic into chemicals before our
eyes-just water. The result of this is
nitric acid, poisonous and powerful,
plus waterl And this chemical stands
second in commercial Importance,
only one, sulphuric acid, having
vaster area of usefulness.
But nitric acid. you say, is not fer

having fertilizer as he is to having

acid, and the result Is nitrate of lime

That is about all of the process, but,

enough to fulfill all expectations. For
the electric spark between the poles

fascinating and repelling at the same
time, like an evil beauty. Here the
temperature is 1,400 degrees cent?
grade, or 2,552 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wrapped about this (the beauty's veil,
to make more alluring by partial con-
cealment) is a zone of pale greenish
brown, and here the temperature Is
but paltry 900 or 1000 centigrade. 1t
is mystical, terrible, and to behold as
its result that humble, whitish, crum-
bly, stuff that is only fertilizer dust.

the highest possible good, and to be
sure that he is causing all things to
