Walking In the Marrow Way.

To those who turn away from sin

Pastor explained that to deny ones
self Is to give over ones self-sufficien-

and to accept instead the Divine will.
Whoever does tals dies to earthly am
billions. hopes and desires. and In their
stead receives Heavenly ones.
The Pastor then showed that to take
up the cross is not always understood
by the one starting in the narrow way.
Gradually he perceives that it is the
crossing Of self-will with the Divine
will. But il his conservation Is gen
uine, the child Of God will learn to re-
joice In every trial. The Heavenly
Father will cause the way to open be-
fore him. and will with every trial pro-
vide the way OF escape.
To follow Christ signifies patient con.

Late.t Enolns OF Warfars.

A terrible weapon of warfare has
been invented. In the British Naval
Annual for 1914. Just published, there
is q description Of q contrivance that
might almost be described as devilish.
1t Is Of the Leon torpedo mine. which
has now been acquired and is being
manufactured by British firm. This
engine Is 80 constructed that 1t can be
set to hover between any depths below
the surface that may be desired. When
placed in the water 1t has slight neg
alive buoyancy. and sinks until auto
matically propeller is brought into
action which drives It upwards again.
1t can be used in the open sea by any
type Of ship. or, in the case of tidal
harbors, 1t could be released by YES
sci outside SO as to make its way with
the tide into the anchorage, and per-
haps destroy shipping there. A touch
on the deadly steel "whiskers" which
project from its upper surface, and
the enemy would be sent to the bot
tom.

PLANTS THAT GROW IN SNOW
Alpine soldanellas Melt Covering and
Push Their Spikes Up Into the
Sunshine Above. 1.

The behavior Of some exotic water
lilies In my possession was very re.
markable. reports a correspondent of
the London Mail. These plants were
growing In q tank in q well-heated
greenhouse. The temperature OF the
water was always kept at high level.
yet the lilies died down during the
winter. With the return Of the spring
the new leaves started to grow through
the water to the surface. impelled by
some influence which It Is not easy to
explain. It Is. Of course, possible in
the case OF these water plants that the
increasing power Of the sun may have
some\ effect upon the roots. even
though they are beneath the water.
Here again this does not seem to be a
very satisfactory explanation, for the
water plants start growth when the
power Of the sun Is not greater than
1t is In October, when the same sub
1ects go to rest
But the foregoing instance pales be-
fore the strange case of the Alpine
soldanellas. little plants which abound
on the lower slopes Of the mountains
in Central Europe. Long before the
thick covering OF snow has melted the
soldanella starts active growth. From
the center Of circle of evergreen
leaves is sent up flower stem. Now.
In Its development. this has the re-
markable property Of giving out heat.
q feature which is noticeable in some
other flowers when they are expand
ing. The warmth thus generated
melts the snow, and in this way the
spike bores its way up to the sunshine
above, and, where the soldanellas are
plentiful, most singular appearance
10 the result. The flowers look inst as
IL the spikes had been stuck into the
snow. and it is difficult to think that
they are attached to any plants.

Roof Gardening.

DR.. A. F. Christian, Boston ply
sician, announces that ice cream Is the
best remedy for alcoholism. At a re-
cent luncheon, Doctor Christian,
apropos OF this fact, told a story.
Roof gardens" he said. and roof
gardening. during the wife's absence
at the seashore, are responsible for q
good deal OF midsummer alcoholism.
But, II the wife is home, she can re-
strain the roof-gardenirg tendencies
on her husbands part.
"Thus, a would-be roof gardener said
10 his wife the other evening after
dinner:
"'I'll have to return to the office
right away, my dear. And I'm afraid
Ill be kept rather late. I've got to
POST my books for the entire month.
"'Will you be going anywhere else
besides the Officer size said. calmly.
"Er-no,' he replied.
Then said she. I'll Just ask you
to stop In at the corner grocery before
1t closes and get ne IL couple Of nice
salt mackerel. You can bring them
home with you afterward.'
Er-all right he muttered.
Then, as he set out. gloomily, his
wife said to herself with a smile:
"Well. l guess he won't do much
roofgardening tonight with two great
big wet mackerel In his pocket"

BUILT TO OBTAIN DISTORTION
Camera, the Idea of German En-
glneer, Capable Of Producing Eost
Remarkable Effects.

A German engineer has built a cam
era based on the pinhole principle, in
which instead Of small round hole
he uses narrow Sits, vertical and hori-
zontal in the two walls, although to
vary the effects, other angles are
sometimes employed. With this ar
rangement he is able 10 obtain exag-
gerated pictures, showing either YER
teal or horizontal dimensions out Of
proportion. By multiplying the num-
Der of slitted walls between the ex-
terror Of the camera and the plate,
and including some Of them at an
angle. he has produced some remark
able photographs. Thus landscape
may be- made to appear fiat or billy.
or street scene may be radically
changed IN character. Architects are
using this form to change plans, carri-
caturists to produce comical distor-
tons. and decorative painters to vary
patterns or to produce condensed or
extended letter types without alter
