Proud Peter is a charmingly inti-

The scenes OF his ventures are laid In
various places OF the British Empire,
and the local color makes them vivid,
while the account of Peters life and
his efforts to make good give us a
story which Mr.. Norris readers will
follow with much interest. The style
OF the book is entirely pleasing. the

A Big Event for October 18th

The Sunday-school people of New
Jersey through their state and county
organizations are planning to get into
their schools just as many people as
possible on Sunday, October 10. They
hope to have a half million. The day
will be called "Go to Sunday-school
Day." 1t has been observed in other
states, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida,
New Hampshire, Nebraska and in such
a way as to rouse the commonwealth
from end to end.
People have come to see WHAT !
mighty interest the Sunday-scho9Il Is
enrolling as it does IS, DOC, 900 of gnemr
bers in North America and spreading
with increasing power into all tho
world
In New Jersey alone we have 40O, 900
people attending Sunday schools and
not children alone, but thousands and
tens of thousands of adults, fathers and
mothers, learning In the same building
with their children and great c~lssses of
men united In study, fellowship and
service for Others. During the ~infantile
paralysis epidemic some Sunday
schools kept open and had half as large
an attendance as usual but composed
entirely of those more than sixteen
years old.
Now on October 18th this great force
for Christian conflict will be Modified,
it will rally to the colors called from
every quarter by every conceivable form
of persuasion.
The mayors of cities will sign proela-
nations, the leading citizens will sign
manifestos, showing how the Sunday
schools are making the state and
community secure, hundreds of news
papers will tell about the wild e-spread
preparation for the day, red arrows
printed on signs will point the way to
the several schools, a multitude of per-
sonal invitations will be written aud
thousands of telephones will ring a
welcome to the great observance.
On the day of the sessions many will
be personally conducted by earnest
friends and hundreds of c%onveyaness
will be enlisted to bring the more dls-
tant to the schools where a warm wei
come and an interesting program will
await them. Not only those who are
regular members of the Sunday-school
army are expected but thousands Of
new recruits. Very many who have
never been to Sunday-school and even
more, who went when children and
have since dropped out.
Come everybody and do your part &c
strengthen a great institution whiea
stands for growth in all the finer quail,
ties which make the ind1vid ual and tbs
state a permanent force.

MONSTER BLUE WHALES.
The Most Gigantic Creatures This
World Has Ever Known.

1t has been said that the first duty of
a whale is to be large. The blue whale
Is then the most successful whale, for
it is the largest creature which has
ever existed ON the earth or in its
waters. Even those extinct giant rep
tiles, the dinosaurs, which splashed
along the borders Of the inland seas of
Wyoming and Montana 100000 years
ago, could not approach a blue whale
either in length or weight.
In 1903 a blue whale was weighed In
sections at Newfoundland. The animal
was seventy-eight feet long, thirty-five
feet around the shoulders, the head
was nineteen feet in length and the
tail sixteen feet from tip to tip. The
total weight was sixty-three tons. The
flesh weighed forty tons, the blub-
Der eight tons, the blood. viscera and
baleen seven tons and the bones eight
tons.
Exaggerated accounts of the size of
blue whales are current even In repu-
table books on natural history, but the
largest specimen which has yet been
dcIuduy medSufeQ anu recOrueu Is
1877 feet long, stranded a few years ago
upon the coast of New Zealand. It
must have weighed at least seventy.
five tons.
Whales are able to attain such an
enormous size because their bodies are
supported by the water in which they
live. A bird is limited to the weight
which its wings can bear up in the air.
A land animal if it becomes toe large
cannot hold its body off the ground or
readily move about and IS doomed to
certain destruction. But a whale has
to face none of these problems and can
grow without restraint.
Because whales live in a supporting
medium their young are of enormous
size at birth, In some instances the calf
being almost half the length of its
mother. l once took a twenty-five foot
baby, which weighed about eight tons,

UPRUSH OF THE SAP.
Force 1t Exerts In Its Mysterious Flow
Through the Plants.

Even now the causes which underlie
the great upward flow of sap in the
spring are not completely understood.
considerable force has been demon
strated in a remarkable manner
In the spring season, when the sap Is
rising with great vigor, the stem Of a
grapevine was cut right across. With
As little loss of time as possible a piece
bf bladder was tied over the surface Of
4he wounded part. As fixed the blad-
der was In a state of collapse, but it
did not remain in this condition long.
Within half an hour 1t was obvious
chat 1t contained a good deal of liquid.
As time went on the amount of fluid
matter increased so much that the
bladder was quite full. Two hours
after fixing the bladder was so dis
tended that 1t was lifted right up. An
hour later the pressure had increased
Id such a degree that the bladder
burst, being unable to stand the strain
any longer.
In this connection it Is interesting to
recall the experiment of Dutrochet,
also with n grapevine stem. In this
case a bent tube containing mercury
was affixed to the cut stem in such a
manner that any fluid coming from the
plant would have to lift the column of
quicksilver. In one of his experiments
1t was shown that the sap raised the
column of mercury to the height of
thirty inches. Dutrochet calculated
that in such a case the force exercised
by the sap was five times greater than
that of the blood in the crural artery
oflthe horse. 1t requires nc student of
an atomy to appreciate the force of this

HURRY TRIPS BY ACTORS.
MansfeId's Record Quick Jump From
Now Orleans to Chicago.

Now Orleans to Chicago.
Envious persons have been known to
poohpooh the actor who thinks that
his life is not all cakes and ale. Many
years ago we thought the limit had
been reached when E. L. Davenport
acted at q matinee in Philadelphia and
duplicated the performance In New
York the same night. Later came the
sensational jump of Lawrence Barrett
by special train from New York to
San Francisco in less than four days
and the Joseph Brook-Janauschek leap
from Milwaukee to Philadelphia be-
tween Saturday midnight and Monday
In time for a regular performance In
the latter city.
Once Richard Mansield's energies
comprised a hurry trip between New
Orleans and Chicago. On a Saturday
evening he presented Julius Caesar
succeeding Monday evening he repeat
ed the experience in Chicago. Mean
while he had travelled a thousand miles
and transported all the ponderous i'm
pediments of his well remembered pro-
duction of the Shakespeare classic.
This is how it was done:
A special train in ten cars was under
steam In New Orleans at the close of
the engagement. AS soon as a scene of
the play was worked off it was con-
veyed on trucks to the waiting spe-
cial. When the curtain fell on the last
act the players who appeared in it,
without changing their costumes, were
driven to the railway station, and the
train was out of sight Of New Orleans
before midnight. Right of way was
given for the entire distance, and re
lays Of fresh engines were provided
from division to division. Thus a new
record between the gulf and Lake
Michigan was made. The running time
for the thousand miles was twenty
three hours.-Kansas City Journal.
