THE WONDERS OF LIGHT.

According to DR.. ]. Gordon Ogden,
who contributes a remarkable article
to the Popular Mechanics Magazine"
every cubic inch of this tremendous
universe of ours is filled with the deli
cate tremulous pulsations known as
light waves. Discussing some of the
wonders of light, of which he gives
graphic picture, the writer states that
from aeon to aeon these quiverings
have passed from world to world, from
star to star, from galaxy to galaxy.
So far as we know, they are without
beginning and without end. Light
that does not enter the eye is, of
course, invisible. Hence the blackness
of sky that is really filled with light,
light that passes us by in it's jour-
ney through space. When we gaze up
into the starry sky we see, if the con-
ditions are favorable and our eyesight
good, about 5000 stars. Really the
number Of stars in front of our eyes
is legion, but the light from them is so
faint that we are unable to distinguish
them.

had been made. The visitor instantly
offered $50 for it, and gave an order
for five duplicates.
From that time on the fame of the
wood-worker spread far beyond his
native town. He received orders
from all parts of New England and
from the East He found himself no
longer alone in a tiny shop, but hav-
ing a factory on his hands, with a
dozen or more assistants. Today he
is one of the most famous wood de-
signers in the world, and his fortune
can hardly be calculated. He has
remained through all the years the
same unassuming person that he was
when boy.
This story is to illustrate the point
that there is no task at the command
of our hands in the beginning of life
that is not worth knowing thorough
ly from inside to outside. The very
struggle to gain this knowledge, to
understand clearly what is being
done, may prove to be the one step
ping-stone to real success. To go to a
thing with half knowledge, to be
careless about it, is to open the way
for serious blunders and perhaps de-
struction of character.

ence whatever the gain.

BE LOYAL TO TRUTH.

Truth is the test of honor and the
standard of holiness. 1t is the
guide of prudence, and the arbiter
of justice 1t is the only safeguard
of peace, and the only warrant for
war 1t is the first condition of
right conduct, and the final crown
of noble deed. Be loyal to truth.
Without truth there is no worth, no
personal dignity, no home affection,
no social brotherhood, no patriot
ism in politics, no love of fatherland.
Be loyal to truth. Truth that is divine
is divinely greater than truth that
is human The truth of the Word of
God is brighter than the sunshine,
more beautiful than the earth, more
majestic than the stars, more accurate
than natural science, more evident
than sight. Be loyal to truth. "The
Word is Life, and the Life is the Light
of men" Without this Word the world
were pagan. Without this Light
mems minds were dark. Be loyal to
truth. THE Light shineth in dark
ness, and the darkness did not under
stand it,; but you, be loyal to truth
Even though an angel from heaven
should preach any other gospel" you
be loyal to truth. Be loyal to truth;
for, ito those that receive it, He hath
given power to become the Sons of
God" Be loyal to truth

edge that on certain kinds of wood
he did not need to expend one-half
the energy which he did on others,
and he was able to save his strength
for the harder tasks. That is good
knowledge for any one to possess.
But this boy was not contented to
stop with this knowledge. If one
kind of wood would split easily and
another kind would buckle against
the grain when the axe blade entered
it, there must be a reason for it, a
reason which nature had hidden in
the cells of the wood. The swinger of
the axe began to pick up pieces of
pine, oak and maple and take them
home for study. Some of these he
boiled in water and analysed their
resins. Others he planed down and
put under the microscope. Out of
his small earnings he managed to
purchase several important books on
tree culture and nature of woods.
Day after day as he chopped, either
in the forest or at the front of some
kitchen door, he gained more knowl-
edge of the material while he was
handling, until at the end of two
years he had become known as an
expert wood craftsman.
Later he set up a small shop and
advertised in a humble way that he
would repair all kinds of woodwork,
or would make new creations of
chairs, tables, shelving and whatnots.
At first patronage came slowly, so in
his leisure moments he spent his
time in designing artistic rockers,
tables and chairs.
He had several of these finished,
but there was no bidder for them,
owing to the small amount of money
in his home town. One day visitor
from Boston CHANGED to enter the
shop, and his eyes fell upon rocker
designed precisely as such chairs were
made in the days of Queen Elizabeth.
1t was so perfect an imitation he
thought it to be a genuine antique,
but the boy explained to him how it

Oh! where can we find that sweet
Island of rest
Where the sunbeams in transports

And the green trees all CLEAN with
the dews that are blest
Where the vines of the heavenly wild
aowers are twining?
In that Isle far away, in vast regions
unknown
Caa we live when we find it, and call
it our own?
Will the sorrows that bound us
through lifes fieeting years,
Still enchain with their sadness our
hearts dwelling there?
Shall we still find our way through a
valley of tears?
Shall the cross and the thorns both
still be our share?
= In that Isle far away, in vast regions

Or shall Angels that loved us extend
us their hands
To help us to land on their beautiful

Where no cross and no thorns infiict

Where we'll dwell when we reach it,

THE VALUE OF THoRoueHNEss.

There is certain New England
man of great prominence who when
a boy of fifteen found it necessary to
earn his living by chopping wood in
back yards and virgin forests. How
he made a ladder of this wood, so to
speak, is related by Senator Crane OF
Massachusetts.
The boy had not been very long at
his work before he discovered that
every different varity of wood split
differently. Maple split one way, OAK
another, and spruce still differently

roo FEW SPECIAL SUNDAYS
Move to Secure Cooperation Of
Churches In Effort at Social
Betterment.

In a report ON social Sundays sug-
gested to be observed by all OF the
churches in the United States, the spe-
cial committee which investigated the
subject says:
"0ne Of the results OF this investiga-
ton was the revelation that the num-
Der OF special social Sundays now be-
ing observed on a national scale is
much smaller than has been generally
supposed. Only six special Sundays
not specially designated by the cal
endar are at present observed on any
considerable scale throughout the
country. These are Child Labor Sun
day, Mothers day. Peace Sunday, La
Dor Sunday. Prison Sunday and Tu-
berculosis day. The other special
Sundays in the calendar given above
are all fixed by certain national or re-
ligious holidays, such as Washington
birthday. Memorial day or Christmas.
The report of the committee will be
submitted to the Federal Council OF
Churches, representing most OF the
Protestant denominations, to the Ro-
man Catholic church authorities, to
the Jewish church authorities and to
all other church organizations which
can be interested In this movement

BUILDING YACHT is BIG lob
Million Dollars Needed for construe-
ton of Defender to Resist Attempt
of Sir Thomas Upton.

The cost of building and maintain
ing a crew for a cup defending yacht,
such as will resist the attempt of Sir
Thomas Upton to lift the Americas
cup next year, is estimated to be
about $1,0OO,O00. This includes every
thing, from the designers fee to the
food and pay of the crew of the vessel
This expense will be divided among
several New York men, members of
the New York Yacht club, which has
accepted the challenge Of Sir Thomas
Upton.
1t seems strange to layman that
such an enormous amount of money
could be expended on one vessel, but
to the experienced yachtsman it is
very apparent why the expense Is so
great. In the first place, the materials
for the yacht must be of the very
best. The first step in the construc-
ton is the laying. of the keel. For
this is used about 80 tons Of lead. 1t
is nodded by pouring the metal into a
large wooden mold that has been built
according to specifications. To this
is fastened, by long bolts, the keel
son, a strip of steel running the
length of the yacht.
The ribs and stem and stern posts
are fastened to the keelson. The stern
post is the one to which the rudder Is
attached later. The ribs or frames
are set up, generally about 20 inches
apart, the whole length of the yacht.
AS soon as the frames are in place,
the plates are riveted on. These
plates. made of tobin bronze, are very
wide. They are first oiled, then care
fully bent to the required shape. The
lower row, cardboard strake," Is put
on first, the others being built on
this row.
AS soon as the plates are on, the
laying of the deck is begun. The deck
is generally a composition of steel and
aluminium, covered with a light wood
en- flooring. Then comes the setting
of the masts and spars. The mast
of the last cup defender was -i3 fest
long. This stick is split in half
and, after being followed out, is
pasted together with a special prep
aration. All the heavy spars are
hollow.
After the masts and sails are set, the
yacht goes out of the hands of the
builder. Then comes another ex-
pense, that of housing and feeding the
crew Of about 60. A special schoon-
er must be kept to house the crew, as
the yacht is not fitted up that way.
These expenses mount up to thou
sands, and the owners soon find that
their original estimate is doubled and
| somewhat tripled.

What Is a Mustaohe Worth?

What is the cash value of a mus,
tache? The question is raised by a
forthcoming legal action in France,
in which a young man is suing his
late employer in peculiar circum-
stances. He recently obtained the po-
sition of valet to an attacbe of~the
Chinese embassy here and one OF the
conditions of his employment was
that he should shave off his mustache.
The young man complied with this in
struction and sacrificed his htrsute
adornment, not without regret But
a week later he was discharged and
he is now suing the attache for $2O
as damages for the "esthetic pre1u.
dice" that he has suffered through the
loss OF his mustache. This would seem
to be modest valuation, especially
when one takes the esthetic prejudice
into account.

BAG PUNCHING STUDY
tight Fans Study Use Of Inflated
Sack as Developer.
Modern Boxers Appear to Direct Most
Of Attack Toward Opponents
Head-Body Blows by Long
Odds Are Most Effective.

The usefulness or the modern In
lated punching bag as means OF
developing power is being seriously
questioned by some of the leading
boxers with brains enough to try 10
get at the bottom OF things concern
ing their trade. The objection is that
The bag, swinging on level with the
itriker's head, is OF no use In deVet
oping body blows. 1t is noticeable
hat body punching is becoming a lost
art. most modern boxers directing all
heir attention to swinging for the
head
Those versatile enough to direct
blows wherever an opening can be
found put far more force in those for
the Jaw than those for the region OF
he belt line. Yet the body blow is
by long odds the most damaging. It's
effect is lasting, while blow to the
Jaw, unless it dazes badly, does no
harm.
Formerly a large portion OF knock
1uts were scored by clean cut body
blows. Nowadays the proportion Is
extremely small In all probability
therein lies the reason that modern
glove men are inferior to those OF
decade ago and accounts for the fact
that white hopes are so slow In de-
feloping.
Even those who favor the body blow
are far from being capable opponents
If it's use. They employ the same
swinging motion that they use in
slows for the head. This is necessa-
lily awkward and does not produce
effective results. A half arm jolt or
1ppercut such as Fitzsimmons used
against Corbett and Sharkey is the
most effective style, but this blow
cannot be developed by swinging at
bag hung on level with the head.
A directly opposite set of muscles are
required in delivering it, and as the
average boxer neglects to develop
hem he has to depend on head blows.
When a modern boxer scores heav-
lily with a body blow 1t is usually a
straight right for the heart-a punch

Even now the old school managers
nave one of these in their training
quarters. This offers good practice
FOR body blows, but it is most neglect

spectacular and it's use affords more
amusement. For this reason the heavy
Dag does not find favor with modern
boxers, but they lost by not taking
advantage Of it's good features.
