Mark Twain's War prav.r.

f'N'N NN'hN .
New York Evening Post: DR.. Henry
Neumann, in an address at the Brook
lyn Society for Ethical Culture, at the
Brooklyn Academy of Music Sunday,
quoted from an unpublished article. by
Mark Twain on the subject Of war. He
said:
"A few years before his death. Mark
Twain wrote an article entitled, The
War Prayer. 1t describes how a regi-
ment gathers in a church before it de-
parts for the war and prays for vic
tory. AS the prayer concludes a white
robed stranger enters the church and
says: 1 have been sent by the Al
mighty TO tell you that he will grant
your petition if you still desire Il after
/ have explained to you it's full import.
You are ASKING for more than you
seem to be aware OF. You have pray
cd aloud for victory owe your foes.
but listen new to the %unsr.oken portion
of your prayer and ask yourselves il
this is what o desire
Then the stranger speaks aloud
these imT locations of their words: o.
Lord, help us to tear the soldiers Of
the foe to bloody shreds with our
shells; help Us to cover their smiling
fields with the pale forms of their pa
triot dead; help us to lay waste their
humble homes with a hurricane Of
fire: help us to wiring the hearts of
their unaffending widows with un-
awaiting grief. Blast their hopes.
blight their lives. water their way
with tears
Mark Twain never published this
article. His friends told him it would
be regardea as sacrilege. Is it really
sacrilege to say that men cannot pray
for victory in war without asking for
these inevitable implications Of their
petition? What would it mean il we
remembered this when the war spirit
is abroad? p

INSTINCT IN PLANTS.
Actions Faat Seem to Indicate Some
 Sort of Nervous System.

Plants sometimes appear to possess reasoning power. Charles Darwin in stanced the case of the rootlet. which. piercing its way through the soil and detecting stone or lump of hard clay in its path, will go round it without touching it. How does the otlet or plant know that the stone is there?" he asks. Certainly it cannot see it und as it does not touch it cannot feel it. The avoidance therefore seems tC be in the nature of perception of some kind which is mental operation"
 The species of mimOSa known as the sensitive plant will contract its leaves even at the sound of d footstesp, and when such plant is being transplant ed 1t crumples up during the process in such way that it really appears to be suffering from fear. Afterward 1t re covers and resumes its ordinary mode of life
 Plants undoubtedly possess con sciousness of a kind which enable. them to carry out certain operations necessary to their preservation. and this can only be done through the pos session of some sort of nervous sys tem.-London Standard.

4 Great Fuel Consumer.

More fuel is consumed in the city oi Pittsburgh and Its immediate vicinity and more coal Is shipped to and through the Pittsburgh district than in any other district ip the world, ac cording to Edward W. Parker of the United States geological survey. With a population of about one-ninth of that of Greater New York the consumption of coal alone in Pittsburgh is nearly equal to that of the much larger city. Greater New York consumed in 1911 approximately 100000 short tons, and Pittsburgh used about l6.50O,00O short tons. But Pittsburgh consumes several million tons of coke and con- siderable quantities of natural gas, which. added to the coal consumption. gives that city a good lead over New York as fuel consumer.

 Water Used In the s:esl Industry.
 Great quantities of water at medium pressures are used in q steel plant, most of it for cooling purposes. The following gives d good idea of the wa ter required by the several depart ments of steel plant: The total con. sumption of the plant. including six blast furnaces. seven rolling mills, hessemer and open hearth steel mills. twenty-four gas engines and aDont a hundred gas producers, was 57.J00,00o gallons per day. The average daily displacement of the pumps for one month during the time these measure ments were taken was G0,S77.000 gal Ions. no allowance being made for slip. The pumps used for pumping this cooling water in steel plants are about the same type as those used in city pumping stations. steam reciprocating pumps with compound or triple steam cylinders or motor driven centrifugal pumpa The usual water pressures are from forty to sixty pounds.-Robert iA Streeter in Engineering Magazine.
