HE HAS BROKEN THE RECORD
Jesse Pomeroy Has Served i i
Solitary Confinement Longer
Than Any Other Man.

Boston. Sept. Il. Jesse Pomeroy,
probably the most notorious life pris-
oner In the United States, tomorrow
will enter upon the thirty-seventh
year OF his confinement behind the
gray wallis OF the famous state prison.
in Charlestown. All Of these years
have been spent In solitary confine-
ment. This does not mean, however.
that he never leaves his cell. If he
SO desires he is permitted to exercise;
in the prison yard outside his cell for
an hour every day in charge Of a
guard, But this Is while the other
prisoners are at work in the shops.
He is never permitted to meet or See
any person excepting his mother, who
comes to see him once a month, the
prison warden and occasionally the
governor or members of his council.
Pomeroy was a boy Of sixteen when
he was sentenced to prison for life
for torturing and numbering little
children He is now we'll past his
fiftieth year. Much OF his time has
cen spent in study and reading and
| he is said to be we'll informed as to
current events. But he has never
seen an electric car or automobile,
never heard a phonograph, never talk
ed through a telephone, and has never
ridden in an elevator.

How to See Through paper.

A very remarkable experiment
which any one a repeat with very
little trouble has been unearthed by a
German. Take a piece OF paper of
such thickness that, when It is laid
upon a piece OF printed matter, the
characters just show through, but can
not be read, Placing 1t over a printed
sheet, impart to 1t q circular motion
70 and fro. and to your surprise you
will find that now you can read the
print below the paper.
1t is rather dificult to explain this
peculiar effect, The explanation Of
Tered Is that the paper has thin places
IN 1t, and by rapidly moving 1t over
the print, every part of the printed
matter Is exposed in turn underneath
Dne or the other OF the thin places in
the paper. and thus the entire print
Fan be read. However that may be,
the experiment Is interesting and very
simple, requiring for its performance
only the simplest means imaginable.

CHURCH ADVERTISING
is BEING INCREASED
Growing Tendency Of City Pas

New York, Special.-Should the

That is not at all an irreverent ques-
ton. 1t Is q problem thai Is today re-
ceiving the serious consideration OF ev-
cry minister Of the gospel in New York
and many laymens
Opinion Ii divided upon the subject,
naturally. but that the majority seems
to take an affirmative view OF the
question Is evidenced by the numer-
Gus n varied church advertisements
that assail the eye and ear In Gotham.
A very dignihed church In upper
Broadway now displays q large cleo
trio sign bearing this legend:

In the Saturday newspapers many OF
the pastors now insert regulation

m calling attention TO Sundays sery-
ices and laying stress on the musical
features. Some of them add the words.
Seats free" This line no doubt strikes
the rural visitor as rather unchurchlike,
but IL Is nothing u of the way when
one understands the situation.
Many OF the metropolitan churches
charge a stipulated pew rent, and the
seats of the congregation are thus paid
for much az are theater seats, though
there IL no box office in front. The
church IL lighting the world, the flesh
n the devil and they ali advertise
their attractions" said one advocate OF
the new idea. why should not the
church meet the world, the fiesh and
the devil IN their own ground 2"
The clergyman of a church UP In
washington Heights that has a small
lawn in front has Installed benches
there and they are free to all comers.
The place is high and there is always
a breeze and often IN summer nights,
people may be seen occupying the
benches while the minister Is preach

down town has sprung an Innovation
in what the pastor called a Forum"
Each Sunday night he holds tho
brtefest of religious services and then
the congregation settles down for
the discussion OF some important
question Of the day. A few nights
the following Sunday currency re-
form was the topic up for consider
alton. e g.t ~
The problem to be discussed is al
ways announced in the printed
church circular q week In advance,
and one man or woman is requested
to prepare q comprehensive address
on the chosen subject. After this
set discourse the meeting is then
thrown open for general discussion.
and often there r lively debates. Be
sides the tariff and currency this par
ticular congregation has discussed wo-
man suffrage, social reform, the
minimum wage scale for women and
kindred topics, and now the Sunday
night attendance far exceeds that at
the morning service.

Amending the Erdnan Act.

ETOIu the " dhItluk lOn 6ldTs
Efforts to amend the Erdman act In
such a as to make 1t more surely
operative in the prevention of strikes
through arbitration promise immediate
success under the stimulus OF q desire to
prevent a new threatened railroad strike.
This Is to be accomplished by enlarging
the number Of arbitrators and the appoint
ment OF a mediator by the, president, in
dependent of all government bureaus. But
this amendment does not reach the vital
point of the situation. There is no pro-
vision which makes submission to arbi-
traitor on the part OF two sides to a
labor controversy compulsory. The OBJ
lection to the Erdman act az It stands
Is that the number OF arbitrators is not
enough TO decide the complicated issues
involved in q railroad dispute. The amend
ment will increase the number to six,
with the mediator serving as the seventh
member. IL will still be possible for either
the railroads or the operatives In a dis
pute to object to submission OF a case
TO arbitration, on the ground OF the num-
Der OF arbitrators or any other ground
they may wish to advance. Thus the pub
lie welfare 10 made dependent upon the

CROP CONDITIONS I'M
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FoR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest IL attached To
the condition OF the grain crops in
Western Canada, especially among
the thousands In the United States
who are financially interested I'M lands
In that country. This interest Is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing Of grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year in
the provinces OF Manitoba, Saskatche-
"a and Alberta win probably be no
greater than that OF last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there,
was not az much fall blowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready OF
land this spring made a considerable
portion Of the grain late In seeding,
Notwithstanding this. wheat, oats,
barley and flax were got In In good
shape, although from q week to ten
days later than last rear. on the
9th Of June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally In Western,
Canada were: Abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through,
out Western Canada gives every as,
surance OF generous harvest. Climatic
conditions In recent weeks have been
absolutely ideal. Western correspon-
dents agree in predicting every indi.,
cation Of . bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out in Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and In Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th. The
pat crop is looking well, although late
and rather short In straw"
This is followed by a report July
9Th: Crop conditions continue In
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen all
over prairie provinces, followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks, while crop
Is ten to fifteen days late, prospects,
are extremely favorable and condi-
Nonal upon reasonable weather for
aext four weeks. Splendid western
crop Is assured"
There Is, therefore, the best reason
