The Burning Bush Consumed Not.
Thus meditating. while his 1ocks
pastured on the mountainside. Moses
caught sight of something most IN
usual A bush was afire. yet it was
not consumed. Moses approached the
bush to investigate. From II came a
voice, declaring the phenomenon to be
a manifestation of Gods presence and
take off his sandals, for it was holy
ground, by reason of the presence of
the Angel of the Lord. Moses then
covered his face in reverence, while
he listened to the Divine message.
The statement, II am the God Of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob" brought to this instruct
ed man of God a clear understanding
of what was signified by his expert
ence. By it God reminded him Of the
Covenant which He had made with
Abraham. and renewed with Isaac, and
confirmed to Jacob for an everlasting
covenant. Thus Moses learned that
Gods time had come for the deliver
ance Of Israel and for their attainment
of the Land of Promise-Canaan.
If Moses had ever wondered whether
God really cared for the Israelites and
why He had permitted them TO be op-
pressed by the Egyptians. he now had

now was lacking in self-confidence. re-

should bring forth the children Of Is
rael out of Egypt? This meant, I am
a failure; with all the educational ad-
vantages that 1 had, I am fit for moth

Gods reply was: Surely 1 will be

do it yourself. realize that 1t is a
mighty work. By way of emphasis.

Moses lead the people forth, but they
should worship God in that very noun

failure, was cautious. He inquired

The Imaginary Ether
BY EDGAR LUciEN LARkIN.

word ether. Electrons scattered in
space at great distances apart COM
pared to their diameters take the place
of this longtime purely imaginary
ether. If there exists in space a resist
ing medium that increases the speeds
of planets, moons and comets, it is
matter thousands of times more dense
than free electrons. For electrons pass
through solids-even solid diamonds.
A striking proof that the most rigid
matter is not actually continuous,
since no two molecules, atoms nor cleo
irons touch. These wonderful cleo
irons forever move with inconceivable
specific velocities: their energy is be-
yond human comprehension. The mass
of an atom of hydrogen-the lightest
substance known-is 1000 times great
er than that of one electron.
Electrons are pure electricity. Moth
ing is in existence but electrons.

AUTOMOBILE LADDER
TRUCK NOW DESIRED
Councilman Vessel Says City
Is Failing in Moral Re-
sponsibility.

An agitation will be started by Coun-
Gilman Harry Vessel at council meet
ing Monday night to secure for the
fire department an automobile ladder
truck. Chief Ed Miller of the fire de-
partment will ask that an appropria-
ton of $4,000 be placed in the 1914
budget with which to purchase the
truck
The ladder wagon of the No. ? com
pany in the city building is in dilap-
idated condition and unsafe. The
wagon has been used over 80 years
and shows the effect of its hard serv.
ice The frame is twisted, and last
spring the rear axle was sprung, max
ing the wagon shift over to the right.
The damages to the wagon are of such
a nature that it would be poor econ
omy to have them repaired.
The necessity of the ladder truck
will be impressed on the councilmen's
minds by Mr.. Vessel, he said. AL
though no other councilmen have ex-
pressed their views on the expenditure
of such an amount of money for a lad
der truck, the condition of the wagon
has been the topic of discussion in
council several times.
II would not be a fireman" said
Mr.. Vessel today, unless the city put
up bond of $4,000 to insure my safe
ty. If the ladder wagon was guided by
an inexperienced hand, it would sure
ly turn over when it goes around cor
ners. Should such a thing happen, /
for one would feel partly responsible
for any accidents. By neglecting to
insure the safety of the laddermen,
the city is failing in a moral respon-
sibility."

The Rocks and the SeaauII..

A Dover correspondent reports Gu
rious incident which was witnessed at
a farm at Films Vale, on the confines
of the borough. A flock of seagulls fly
ing inland had taken possession Of a
newly sown field and were pecking
away. when a still more numerous
flock OF rocks swooped down and at
tackled the gulls. The rocks. being
about two to each gull. tapped and
rushed the gulls until they withdrew
to a field some distance off The vic
torious rocks then proceeded to enjoy
themselves in the field, having first set
what were apparently sentries along
the side Of the field. 1t was amusing
to watch these sentries hustling away
any gull which strayed too near. 1t
has been noted by naturalists that this
setting OF sentries IS in accordance
with the habits Of rooks.-London By
