drew applause for the plucky western
State. She also brought greetings
from her home State, Minnesota. Her
address in part follows:
Home Training a Paradise Lost
"The greatest evangelistic agency
in the world is the home" Yet, home
training is to-day a Paradise Lost,
the home having turned over many
of it's functions to the public schools.
I would like you to go away from
here with the thought Of a Paradise
Regained' in your hearts. It is a
fact that four out of every five boys
who come under the influence of the
church are never saved. The one who
is saved is that one who early estab-
lished habits of regular Church at
tendance, not leaving the Church
building after the Sunday school as
If the Church door were barred

"All the religious work that is done
by any organization should be ulti-
mately intended to reach the boys
and girls Continued increase in ef-
f1ciency of organization in other
branches of Church work is being
made but so far very little has been
done to improve methods in the work
among children. Christian Endeavor
is supreme in the value of its work in
training the children. It is a fact that
it is the second evangelistic- agency
for producing results. Reports from
ministers show that IL per cent. of

yinia states that changes in water

ginia states that changes in water
level in wells, due to fluctuations in
the height of the surface of some
neighboring body of water, have been
observed all over the world. 1t is
customary to explain these changes
by supposing a direct connection be-
tween the river, lake or bay; but in
many places, as in eastern Virginia,
such connection is clearly impossible,
owing to the depth of the wells and
the nature of the intervening beds.
some of them dense, tough marls and
clays. These beds, however, though
they do not transmit water, neverthe-
less contain it, and as water is prac-
tically incompressible, and variation
of level on the river or bay is trans
mitted to the we'll through the water
filled gravels, sands, clays and marls,
when a porus bed is tapped by well
the water rises to the point of equili-
brium and fuctuates as the hand OF
the ocean varies its pressure on the
beds that conine the artesian flow.
