BETHANY COLLEGE.

Bethany college closed its school
year yesterday. It is especially
gratifying to the many friends OF
that historic institution to realize
that the year 1913 was closed under
more favorable conditions, and with
brighter prospects for the future than
any previous year In the schools his
tory. Bethany has passed through
trying ordeals. but the days OF Beth
any's struggle for existence are hap
PLY past. Through the public spirit
OF n large number OF former Bethany
students and other citizens. Bethany
has been placed upon a solid financial
foundation. Her buildings and equip
ment have been vastly improved. her
teaching force strengthened. her lines
OF work increased and her usefulness
largely multiplied.
While Bethany is located within
the territory limits of West Virginia,
II is In no sense n strictly local
school. The appeal OF this great in
stitution goes out to every state in
the union. and is even heard in for
eign lands. She draws into her elias,
sic halls. students from every section
and cline. In this sense Bethany
is a national institution. the sane
tuary ~ a great church. and West
Nirginians may truly rejoice that
this splendid institution has taken on
new lie and bids fair TO continue for
an indefinite period her long career
OF high usefulness.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY

By E. J. Edwards

Some time In the late sixties.
said the late James ID. Yayng to me.
"a young man called on me in my Of
flee at Pittsburgh TO show me an ap-
paratus he had invented, which. he
said. would enable the engineer in
stantly to apply his brake to a train.
His name was George Westinghouse.
He showed me models and l agreed
to permit him TO make a test OF his
apparatus with some cars on the Pan
handle road.
Il saw the test made and realized
that the most important investment
applicable to railroad equipment that
had been made in many years had
teen perfected by this young man.
In the evening OF the day after the
test | was thinking this matter over
when II occurred to me that only a
little while before the man who had
made the great advance in railway
operation possible had just died. His
name was Matthias w. Baldwin.
met Mr.. Baldwin occasionally in the
last years OF his life and I once asked
him IL II were true that he began his
business career as a designer and
manufacturer Of tevelry
He told me that had been cor.
rectly informed and he added that
one OF the best forms OF mental rec.
/ reation for him. even up to that time
was the taking OF the works OF a
watch to pieces and reassemblins
them. and also designing. wholly for
his own entertainment, new forms for
Jewelry.
Il afterward happened TO speak OF
that TO someone who knew Mr.. Bald.
win. and he told me an extraordinar.
lily interesting story. The history O.
railroad development in the United
States contains many incidents 10
show by what narrow chance or hap
py accident the leaders in railway
development in the early years were
diverted from other vocations TO those
associated with railway management
1t seems. according TO the nara.
tive OF my friend. that Mr.. Baldwin.
In the early years OF the past cen.
tury. gained great reputation as a
designer and manufacturer of lew.
elry. He was easily at the head of all
Americans engaged in this industry
HIS workmanship gave Philadelphia
a prominence as a centre for high
grade jewelry manufacture.

PROTECTION AGAINST FLOODS.

In another column OF the Intelliger-
Ger to-day appears n communication
from n well-known Islander. discus
sing the problem OF avertinG food
damage. The writer believes that
the most practicable plan is in the
elevation OF street levels; and points
out the fact that wall alone would
not BE- considered a means OF com
plete safety against high water. The
lntelligencer is inclined 10 the belief
that both a wall and the elevation OF
street levels will be generally neces-
sary.
This discussion is an evidence ot
the interest that is taken in this sub
iect by citizens generally. Costly
foods have become entirely too NUM-
erous during the past ton wears. 20

den. Everybody was interested, and
came a great falling on In the de-
among them was Mr. Baldwin. He
went to Camden to look at this loco
motive. He became fascinated with
II. He studied II In every detail. He
believed that he had found an oppor-
tunity to make good the loss OF his
tewelry manufacturing business.
i was told" continued Mr.. Laying.
that Mr.. Baldwin actually made a
model OF this English locomotive
which was exhibited as a curiosity in
Philadelphia.
In the course OF a year OF two Mr.
Boldwin's study OF this locomotive
inspired him with a desire to I'm
prove upon II. He was only a few
months in perfecting an invention
which put an end TO the rtgidity OF the
English locomotive. That rigidity was
curious effect, al least for Ameri.
can railroads. which were being
built In many shops here Mr. Bald.
win determined TO work tIt an idea
by which this rigidity could be elm.
mated and railroad engines could be
so constructed as TO take with ease
any curve. He did this and his inven.
ton resulted in the very rapid de.
lvelopment Of American railroads.
Without that invention Il would have
been impossible 10 haul trains on Am

Mr.. Baldwin's invention gave him
national reputation and ultimately
brought him great wealth. yet II II

2,l5O FARMERS GO TO
 EXTENSION SCHOOL

Little Reek, Sept. 15.-During the season just closed, the faculty of the college of agriculture, University of Arkansas, led by Dean Martin Nel- son, held series of farmers insti- tutes throughout the state, giving practical lessons, and demonstrations daily. There were a total of 2,150 farmers enrolled in the courses. It is announced that it is the purpose of the University to continue the work as much as possible throughout the fall and winter, and to enter upon it in tie summer of 1914 on more comprehensive scale than ever. Prac- Ecally alb the places at which insti- tues: were held last summer have re- auested another one in 1914, and many additional requests have been received. During the fall and winter several weekend institutes lasting two or three days will be held.

imagination Faiis When the Future Size of OCean-Goino Vessels Is Un.
 der Consideration.

The astonishing prediction of the British shipbuilder who forecasts that in few years the leviathans of the deep will be half a mile long and will register 100000 tons is not so shat tering to the imagination in this age of wonders as 1t might have been in past era. The breathless story of scientific achievement during the last few years is replete with maryels that in an earlier day would have been wilder than the widest dreams ever conceived
 It Is still possible to see treadlng, as 1t were. the well-de6ned paths of the Atlantic old vessels of eight thousand tons which in their heydey were the largest ahoat: while again on a recent day . titan registering 50,O0O tons the Imperator started on her maiden voyage across the herring pond. It Is ever %. The Brobdignasins of today are the Liliputians of tomorrow. and there is no logical reason why in . few years time this same Imperator. which now dazzles the senses with its size and magniflcence should not be utterly eclipsed by even more gigantic successors. While to the greatest of humanity all achievement is neces- sarily finite. mans imagination can penetrate the cloaked dawn and dissi- pate the mists that mask the future. and if he has the courage and faith to follow, then all things arc possible. The sight of . great vessel crossing the Atlantic with almost as much reg. ularity in time as the stars in their courses cannot but recall to mind tho .ime whoa imagfna ation and faith guid- d the hands that charted the unsailed vasts for the puny cavarels of Spain.

STRENGTH OF HUMAN BONES
Marvellous Resistins Po~sr In Seem insiy Fragile Franc 10 Attrsb-
 uted to hoiIo<~eep,

Human bones are really tremsn- dously strong and possessed Of . mar. vicious resisting power. Indeed. the bones of the frailest. most delicate looking woman arc stronger than the strongest oak.
 Of course. . bone is hollow, and that is one of tho chief reasons it resists such extreme weights. For instance, small bone which is no moro than a square millimeter in diameter will hold in suspension without breaking some 35 pounds, while a stick of best oak of similar width will not hold moro tkan 20 pounds. Indeed. the average bone of the average man is stronger by one-haf than that of solid oak
 The principle on which our bones are constructed. being made hollow and consequently stronger than if they were solid and heavier, is the same mechanics have followed the world over. Construction engineers employ tubes instead of solid cylinders.
 In the case of animals thousands of years ago one reason of their bulky frame is attributed by scientists as due to the fact their bones were solid and added to their weight

Should Copy the Kangaroo.

A German physician. Dr. Klaatsch, recently read Q paper at Breslau, on the influence of the upright posture upon mankind, in which he arrived at the conclusion that die beutelratte, r that is the kangaroo, has been more successful and fortunate in adapting itself to the bipedal handicap of the erect posture than has humankind. The medical assumption that though man, who. perhaps, in the remotest an. tiquity, was quadrupedal animal, did at some vague period succeed in adapt. ing himself to bipedal condition. it was not until he was overtaken by civ. ilization that bipedal inflrmities came upon him. It is to his abandon mont of progress upon all fours that is due his hernias, hemorrhoids. varicoss veins. intestinal troubles, etc. The in. suff1ciency of the trunk muscles for the maintenance of the upright attitude ac. counts for many human innrmities. It will not be necessary for us to return to our former quadrupedal condition if we take Dr. Klaatsch's advice and learn from the kangaroo

 Tho young millionaire was not . very apt pupil. He numbered along, with a good deal of splash but not much speed. and after swimming 20 or 30 yards he puffed like a grampus.

 You don't breathe right" she said If you did. 1t wouldn't tire you %. As to the upper part of your body-you use exactly the same muscles, rsmem- ber-in swimming as in saving wsod.'
