PULPIT REPARTEE IN 174O-42
Ministers Like Josiah Dwight Of Wood
stock Had Remarkably Keen
Sense Of Humor.

Jonathan Edwards, the younger, was
pastor in New Haven for rs years and
had decided influence In forming the
New England theology 1t is not easy
to characterize the theology of these
sons Of the Great Awakening u74O
42); they were all decided Calvinists
modified according to their individual
ways of thinking. but they were men
of power, and every one contributed
to the DEVELOPMENT Of the people in
their ideas of personal liberty.
The impression that the sermons
were uniformly long and dry is an ex
aggeration, and there we're men OF
originality and humor in the ministry
like Josiah Dwight of Woodstock, who
said: 'If unconyerted men ever get tc
heaven they would feel as uneasy as a
shad up the crotch of white oak"
There was some disagreement be
tween this man and neighboring min
isters, and when they met him in the
interests of harmony, he prayed that
they might SO hitch their horses to
gether on earth that they should never
kick in the stables of everlasting sal
vation." Keen wit and sharp repartee
characterized the conversation OF
many.-From "A History Of Connecti
cut" by George l.. Clark.

shape of the Earth.

On the earth and on Mars the oceans
dominate the austral hemisphere. This
fact may be attributed to the transla
ton Of these two planets in a south
north direction across the primitive
nebula. The rotation 80 set up would
result in the production Of cold cur
rents which might cause the tempera
ture to become inferior to 364 degrees
the critical temperature OF water, and
the currents would be such as to cause
the condensation of the oceans to be
produced round the south pole, and tc
determine that the direction OF the
currents should be toward the equator
which explains the pointed form of the
austral continents. The theoretical
calculation OF the velocities of these
currents and the amount of solid mat
ter transported by them is verified by
direct measurement. Thus, 2,00C
meters beneath the surface of the sea
the magnitude of the oceans is con
slant on the parallels of the austral
hemisphere, and the magnitude of the
continents is constant on the parallels
of the boreal hemisphere,--Sc Scientific

Use for warsbIps.

A new use for old warships has
been instituted by the navy depart
ment. Instead OF going to the junk
pile. decayed vessels are to be melded
as much as possible at small cost at
the Philadelphia navy yard. and then
sent along navigable inland rivers as
recruiting stations and to present an
object lesson to induce recruitments.
One of the first warships to be SO
treated is the armored cruised Brook
lyn, which has been treated to an en-
tireIy new armament. The Columbus
and Minneapolis have also undergone
thorough overhauling, and will soon
be ready TO be used as transports
The Minneapolis may be utilized as a
training ship in Albemarle sound

An attempt has been made to identify

any case Indraput disappeared long

as a city Benares Is absolutely the
oldest in India. SO much we do know
from history that though in past cen.
turies it rivaled Delhi in wealth and
magnificence, the conquerors left 1t
alone. There has never been sack
of Benares. and this Is the more curl
Gus because 1t stands on one Of the
highways of commerce In India. Its
position on the Ganges would natur
ally make it a big center. We know
that TO Hindus, Benares or Kasi, is
the most sacred spot on earth. and
that those who die there are forgiven
all their sins u is to the special in
terposition Of Providence that Hin
dus ascfibe the freedom of Benares
from the sackings and devastation
that have been the fate of other great
Indian cities. In any case Benares
ought to offer much good to any In

department has, of course. to leave II

Among present day British par.
liamentary orators the labor leaders
use the longest and most recondite
words. Mr.. Balfour, however, is pret
ty hard to beat at polysyllabic dis
plays. In a speech on dualism in edu.
cation, delivered some months ago
he used the word "dichotomize." The
reporters, not having heard of this
strange verb, held a consultation
about It and sent up message to Mr.
Balfour asking If their note was cor
rect. In reply they received a de
lightful Balfourism: Did ] really use
such a word? Was it verb or sub
stantive? Make it 'bisect."

able Of assuming bullying and inso-
lent tone towards the president OF the
United States.

the only great nation which is not i'm

HOW TO TRAP HARLEQUIN
 CABBAGE R CALICO BUG
Entomolosist A. w. Merrill Gives Advice on How to Get Rid
 of Pests

Answering Q correspondent from Elgin. Arizona, State Entomologist A. w. Merrill, who is also entomolo- gist of the University of Arizona agricultural experiment station, says: This red and black bug is known as the harlequin cabbage bug, some times called the calico bug. It is common throughout the southern states, Mexico and California. The insect has no doubt been present in Arizona for many years and is pos sibly a native of this section of the country. It does not seem to have been definitely reported as occurring in Arizona, however, until the publi- cation of the Fifth Annual Report of the Arizona commission on agricul- ture and horticulture, in which the writer as state entomologist men, toned it's occurrence in Cochise coun- ty and Yavapai county during the summer of 1913. For some reason the insect was unusually abundant during the season of 1913, as shown by the fact that there were reports of injuries from four different sec tions of the state as compared with none during the four preceding sea sons.
 "The harlequin cabbage bug at
