Hillman preached in the morning, and
DR.. T. H. Ewing in the evening. 1t
was our rally day, and the church had
been divided into two clubs: The
Queen of Sheba, with Sister Saman-
tina Walker as president, and the
Canaanite Club with Brother James
Graham as president. The Queen OF
Sheba outrun the Canaanites, and is
therefore queen indeed. Our pastor
was called to Leavenworth on account
of the illness of his daughter, Miss
Ethel Ewing. Revs. Carum and Nc
Dowell visited our church Monday
night and spoke in the interest of
Macon College. We enjoyed their
talks very much, and hope they Will

the Woman's Mission Circle was
preached Tuesday evening, July n, by
Rev. B, Hillman. He preached a very
instructive sermon, which was enjoy
ed by all. II is to be hoped that the
success of the Circle will be great in

SUMMER MUSIC II o

r. G. Jackson and Miss
Beulah Douglass are going to
conduct a summer school Of
music at Allen Chapel, 10th and
Charlotte, Kansas City, Mo.
AL persons who may desire
to take lessons will find it to
their advantage to speak to Mr..
Jackson early, for a number of
periods have already been given
away to city, and out of town
persons.
The advantage in enrolling
early is, that you may have a
choice of periods and avoid
coming for lessons in the heat
of the day.
The studios at Allen Chapel
are nicely located, well appoint
ed and are equipped with
pianos that are kept in fine
condition.
Special attention is given to
children between the ages of
seven and twelve years.
The pipe organ of the church
is at the service of pupils for
practice, who are doing organ
work.
On account of the large en-
rollment in piano, organ and
voice, only a limited number
can be admitted into harmony
classes, so it is advisable for
persons wanting to do work
along this line to enroll now.
Mr.. Jackson invites interest
ed parties to call at Allen
Chapel on Saturdays, between S
a. m. and s p. m. to talk over
music for the summer, or ac-
dress him at 531 Nebraska Ave-,

Probahla Duration Of sun.

Adopting the well-known hypothesis
of Helmholtz, which attributes the
production of the heat emitted by the
sun to It's contraction, an idea can be
formed OF the suns duration. II one
gives to the sun a co-efhcient of ex-
pansion intermediate between that of
mercury and that Of gas, n arrives
at the conclusion that it has taken
one million to three million years
for the sun to contract to its present
radius; in particular. it would have
taken ten thousand years to contract
from infinity to a radius twice its
present radius. Finally. the sun will
take 200. 600. 600 years to contract
from its present radius to half that
radius, and even then its temperature
at the surface viii be 5000 degrees

Father Colbacchini of the Salesian
order, founded by Don Bosco. which
has important mission stations among
the Indians of Brazil, reports the dis
covery of a great waterfall on the Rio
das Mortes, in the Matte Crosse,
which he named after Plus X. The
Rio das Mortes, which is be-
tween $50 and 200 meters wide and
more than two meters deep in its
higher course, narrows down gradual
ly to about eight meters, and the i'm
mense volume of its waters dashes
down through a mass of high rocks in
a wonderful waterfall more than 500
meters long. Father Colbacchini had
the name of Plus X cut in the rock
near the waterfall and erected a large
cross made from the branches of two
trees on the brink of the water. He
then explored the lower course of the
river. The surface of the region
crossed by Father Colbacchini and his
party of Bororos is covered by strata
of sandstone deeply eroded and in
denied by water. and the river basin
was surrounded by ridges and ranges
of hills.-New York Sun.

New Paper Fabric.


h Boston News Bureau SAYS that
at ths sugar mills of the Nipe Bay
company in Cuba more bagasse or
refuse is being developed from the
cane than is aded for fuel and that
the surplus is ag made INTO paper.
1t says that this per is of a "splen.
did grade" selll. : at high figures
n good profit. This>Qossibility has
been discussed often and sugar cane
is not the only product considered
capable of such use. Over in the
Philippines one of the difficulties of
agriculture is the rapidity with which
the cogon grass springs up and occu-
pies the soil. Many experiments have
been made with this fibrous substance
in the way of papermaking and good
prospects have been reported. II
1t proves available, We shall have a
crop, ~self-sowed, which ripens in a few
months, as against the spruce, which,
II 1t reyives at all, takes 20 years
for renewal.

WANT 8-HOUR DAY
in GOVT WORK
Delegates to Labor Convention
Denounce M. Reynolds Re-
cent Ruling

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 16.-Steps
We're taken at today's session Of the
American Federation Of Labor to make
the eight-hour work day operative In
government construction work. An
opinion handed down by former Attor.
ney-General James McReynolds
against union hours on, WORK under
government construction was bitterly
denounced. An Investigation was or
dered TO substantia,e assertions that
the eight-hour day u,c hot prevail in
the work OF building the Lincoln me-
mortal at Washington.
Vice-President Duncan of the Amer.
lean Federation OF Labor. declared
that McReynolds' opinion was respon-
sible for this condition. The former
Encouragement held that in govern
mental construction work from sup
plies purchased in the open market
the eight-hour day need not apply.
Duncan argued that since all supplies
for government buildings are purchas-
ed In this manner. McReynolds' opin-
Ion Is stumbling block to union
hours.
A motion presented by John B. Len
non, urging that an attempt be made
to have favorable opinion on the
subject rendered by Attorney General
Gregory. declared that the construc.
ton OF the Lincoln memorial was en-.
tirely out OF harmony with the life
OF the president in whose memory IL
was being built"
