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 25 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 174O-
42)S they were all decided Calvinists,
modified according to their individual
ways of thinking, but they were men
or 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 were men of
originality and humor in the ministry,
like Josiah Dwight of Woodstock. who
said: IF unconverted men ever get to
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
listers, 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

Enormous DAMAGE bv Rats

When the determination Of rats was
widely agitated in the United States
in 1909, 1t was said then by authorities
that the loss in this country from
rats was more than $15O,O0O,OO0 year
ly. No more destructive animal exists.
Besides it's thefts of grain, it commits
depredations upon all sorts of mer-
chandise, devours eggs, kills poultry
and game, robs the family larder. even
gnaws through lead pipes, causing
Hooded houses. More than few fires
have been laid to the rat, who carries
matches sometimes to his hole. and

KEPT THE GOOD FLAG FLYING

Ger III full uniform. The flag of the
United States was the cause of the
bloodless, but spirited struggle. Noon
of November 25, 1888, was the time
set for the evacuation of New York
by the British troops, leaving America
independent. That morning Mrs. Day
who lived at the foot of Murray street

Water Power Of the World.

The tremendous water power Of the
world which will some day take the
place Of fuel. is shown in recently
compiled statistics from various coun-
tries. The authorities preparing these
statistics believe that with the ex-
haustion Of the worlds coal supply
this water power would be sufficient
to continue the lighting and heating
OF the world by means of electricity.
Some Of the statistics follow:
France has an estimated horsepow-
er of 4,5OOOO0, OF which 100000 is now
In use. Italy with the same total
horsepower has about 10000 utilized.
The United States has an estimated
horsepower of 100000, while Japan
has 100000 and Russia's resources
are believed to be about 1000. 900.
Norway has 100000 horsepower and
Sweden about 100000 In India 5O,-
600 horsepower is already being used,
In Great Britain 10000 and in Spain

The whereabouts of Charles Burn

which he had been sentenced for fel-

Sorority of War.Makers.

1 do not think that any of you are
ignorant, my friends, that the greatest
wars have taken place on account of
women-the Trojan war on account OF
Helen, the plague which took place in
1t was on account of Chryseis, and the
war called the Sacred War on account
OF Iheano. This war lasted ten years
The Crissaean war, which also lasted
ten years, was excited on this account,
because the Crissaeans carried off Me-
gisto. the daughter of Pelagon, and the
daughters of Argives as they were re.
turning from the temple.
And whole families have been
ruined owing to women; for instance,
that of Philip, the father of Alexander,
was ruined on account of his marriage
with Cleopatra. and Hercules was
ruined by his marriage with Iole."-
by Athenaeus CA. ID. 300).

Shape Of the Earth.

On the earth and Mars the oceans
dominate the austral hemisphere. This
fact may be attributed to the transla-
tion of these two planets in a south
north direction across the primitive
nebula. The rotation so 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 to
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, 1000
meters beneath the surface of the sea
the magnitude of the oceans is con-
slant on the parallels of the austrsfl
hemisphere, and the magnitude of the
continents is constant on the parallels
OF the boreal misphere-Scientifi

'vHiNX SsNA2Es OLDEST CITY
Sacred Spot to HIndus, Its Claim 10
Supported by Most Students Of
Indian History.

Which is the oldest city in India /?
An attempt has been made to identify
the Purana Kila at Delhi as built
on the site on which was situated the
1ndraput, mentioned in the Mahab-
harata as the capital of the five Pan
davas. That is quite possible. but in
any case Indraput disappeared long
ago. Current Indian beliefs is that
as a city Benares is absolutely the
Oldest In India. SO much we do know
from history that though in past CEN
turtles 1T rivaled Delhi in wealth and
magnifcence, the conquerors left it
alone. There has never been a sack
Of Benares, and this is the more Curl
Gus because it stands on one of the
highways of commerce in India. Its
position on the Ganges would natur-
ally make 1t 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. 1t is to the special in
terposition of Providence that Hin
dus ascribe 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.
dian antiquary. The archaeological
department has, of course, to leave it
alone, because it is still the center
of living Hinduism.

Sheridan's ROYAL BAD"

Not many companions of Richard

dramatist in an encounter of wit. The
royal dukes in the following story

successful, than most of the play

Precious Radium,

Most people are familiar with the
three-grain tablet or three.grain cap
sule of quinine. But quinine, powdery.
fluffy stuff, is extremely light. Ra-
dium, on the other hand, is extremely
heavy; so heavy, in fact that three
grains of this most precious metal,
which is worth $4,000, consists of but
few specks, almost microscopic.
This little fortune, incased In a con-
tainer of lead, is scarcely larger than
a one-grain capsule Of quinine. and.
though 1t may be held between the
thumb ami finger. represents a greater
value than the life savings Of many
