LIGHT AND HEAT. !.
How They Reach Us From Out the Icy
Goodness Of Space.

CoIdness OF Space
In answer to the question, "It is
thought that in space eternal cold and
darkness prevail what then is the ex-
PLANTATION of the fact that both light
and heat from the sun, some 9O,0O0,-
900 miles away in cold space. reach
the earth p Edgar Lucien Larkin in
the New York American says:
"Heat and light as such do not
reach the earth from our own and
1OO,O00,O0O more suns. Radiant energy
is transmitted by undulations or waves
in electrons. which energy is In the
forms Of waves of varying lengths and
amplitudes. When some of these en-
ergy impulses impinge on matter able
to receive and appropriate them heat
and light result. !.
"Many molecules in many thousands
Of kinds of matter are able to trans
late energy waves into heat. while
others are translated as light on the
retina of the eye and in the brain.
But no heat nor light develops until
the waves strike forms Of matter fitted
to receive, appropriate and translate.
'sThus energy will pass through a
burning glass made Of ice, converge
to focus and set light objects on
fire"

corinne Bras6eld Wheeler.

Once again, and in His infinite wis
dom, He has seen fit to gather unto
Himself one Of the best and purest OF
our members in the death OF our dear
sister and co-worker, Mrs. Corinne Bras
field Wheeler. She was born July A,
1894. Died July 10, 1914, about 8
O'Clock p. m. She was united in mar
riage to Mr.. Frank Wheeler January A,
1914. Death has taken from earth one
who was ever faithful in the discharge
OF her duties in all branches Of church
work. She joined the Christian Church
at Mount Hermon when small child
and lived beautiful Christian life until
the end. We believe when she met the
King Of Glory she feared no evil, for
she leaned on His everlasting arm, and
be piIoted her safely,to the shore Of the
beautiful beyond where sorrows and
good-byes are unknown.
AS we look out upon the receding sun
we think how typical is the going out OF
this precious, sweet girls life-gone to
shine in another world, yet casting back
its golden rays of shining influence.
She was conscious until the end came
and there was never witnessed a grander
display OF simple trusting faith than
that exhibited by her, in the trying
time OF her translation. She, who had
walked so close to her Saviour in life,
was not forsaken by Him as she
walked through the valley OF the
shadow OF death, ;, and however dark
the shadows, and however bitter the cup
OF sorrow may be, it is modified by the
remembrance of her noble life, her
unwavering faith in the hour OF death
and her triumphant entrance in the
rest that remains for the people of God.
The beautiful and impressive cere-
mony was conducted at Mount Hermon
church by Elder J. E. Stuart, Of Union
City, Tenn, after, which the remains
were conveyed to the Hickman Gene
terry where a large concourse OF sorrow
ing friends and relatives had met to pay
the last sad tribute to good woman
gone.
For the sorrowing, heart broken bus
band, father, mother, brother and sisters
our prayers 60 up in tender sympathy,
and may they ever remember that
earth has no sorrows that Heaven can
not heal. Al FRIEND.

1t is a matter Of intrigue and the spy

way leading to strassburg. The latest
French bulletins claim possession Of
Schirmeck ten miles further northeast
ward on this line. saales is near the
most eastern projection Of the French
frontier.
Another place against which the
French are said 10 have been operating
with success is Markirch. The French
line at this point reaches St. Croix and
threatens Schlestadt. on the main road
from Colmar to Strassburg.
The French plans thus seem to be to
go around Metz, the nearest Of the great
German fortresses, to the French 'front.'
Ter, and to embrace concerted actions
between the army in Upper Alsace and
an army to be thrown across the line at
points between Strassburg and colmar
The fortresses of Colmar and Neu-
Breisach in Upper Alsace would be
passed and neutralized, if not besieged.
II the French should then gain the
country around SaaTsbisiirrT;, operating
from Luneville Avricourt Rixingen,
they would have Strassburg also between
two armies.
In short, il the French bulletins are
correct, we can only suppose that their
plans embrace a systematic reduction of
Alsace while holding the Germans in
check in Lorraine and in the north. If
their communication is really as candid
as it seems, they may even anticipate
successes OF German arms in the region
about Metz and Longwy. The French
have, however, also penetrated Lor-
raine by the SeiIle river, operating from
Nancy. The line at this point extends
five miles inland to Marsal. Knoxville

HOW TO GET STRENGTH

after any sickness Is purely matter Of
nourishment, whether the attack was
an ordinary cold OF severe illness; the
weakened forces cannot repulse disease
germs, and this is why relapse is so
often fatal or why chronic weakness often
follows sickness.
Restoring strength to millions Of people
for forty years has proven the real need
for taking SCOTS Emulsion after any
sickness; nothing equals it, nothing
compares with it. Its pure, medicinal
nourishment, free from alcohol or opiates,
promptly creates rich blood, strengthens
