The Mission Study Class will meet
 next Monday afternoon at o'clock.
 The lesson is the ninth chapter.
 Methods of the Workers" of the
 book entitled, "A New Light in an Old Land" The lesson is most in-
 teresting one and our leader, Mrs. Guy A. Simmons never fails to make
 the hour interesting and profitable
 After the lesson, a social hour will
 follow at which light refreshments
 will be served. Every one is very cordially invited to attend.
 While the threat of war hangs
 heavy over our southern border and
 hundred million people, with anx-
 ious hearts, await the outcome, it is
 we, the Christians of America, who
 are to blame! We are but reaping
 what we have sown. We are paying the penalty of our own neglect. If for the last 40 years we had expended annually in giving poor Mexico the gospel as much as we are now spending every week in military
 operations against her. Mexico's re- generation would have been long since accomplished, and peace and
 order would prevail. But, like the
 Levite and the priest, we passed by
 on the other side.
 Behold now the working of inexor- able justice! What we refuse to
 give, that Mexico might have the gospel, we must pour out lavishly at last for defense against the very ills the gospel would have cured. The hearts blood we owed to Mexico in sympathy and compassion and prayer has begun to flow at last through mortal wounds. God grant that it deepen not into the red tide of war; Gods justice is far-reaching; we cannot escape it. His laws are in eXorable; they cannot be evaded h. difference to our fellows, neglect of our duty to them, failure, above all, to give them the gospel that we owe, return inevitably upon our own heads in retribution as certain and as stern as death!

One gift which every human being possesses and for it's use will be held responsible, is the capacity to exer- else influence on other lives. In fact. everyone of us does exercise some kind of influence, either for good or Ill. Some are capable of exerting wide influence. Some might exert much more than they do. The power of friendship, the power of relation ship, the gift of speech, of eloquence, the talent for writing, the ability for leadership, all are channels of infiu- ence, talents which should be used iii the service of God and his king dom.

Arabic Numerals.

An illustration Of what mankind owes
to the labor saving Arabic numerals
compared with preceding forms OF no
tation Is shown In adding ls4S to
1S4S, the sum which Is expressed In
only four figures, or 5000. Meantime
In Roman characters we would have
to denote 1S4S with the capital letters
MDCCCXLyIII. Repeating these let
ters explains why Cicero complained of
the sweating toll Of all addition. On
that account Homer's total Of Aga
memnon's feet Is not the correct sum
Of the different contingents to 1t which
he gives Of the Grecian states. Herod.

total figures Of Xerxes' army after emu
merating the quotas Of the various ma
honalities which composed It Like
wise what a life insurance company
would now do without Arabic numerals
may be imagined.

WAGNER'S TWO WIVES.
One Helped Him to Attain Success, the
Other to Retain IL.


In the case of Wagner we find fe-
male influence exerting strong power
In some OF his compositions.
The uncomplaining devotion OF his
first wife can scarcely be exaggerated.
During the Paris days Of poverty she
trudged about seeking and obtaining
loans for her husband "a Wagnerian
loan was practically giftl, she took In
odgers i'm their humble apartments,
she blacked the boots of husband and
lodger.
She sewed and washed and drudgCd.
only to be set aside when the days OF
prosperity came and when she object
ed to her husband seeking inspiration
from the wives Of other men. Such
inspiration he found In Mathilde We
sendonck. who was the chief factor IN
bringing forth Tristan und Isolde"
But the reader should imagine two
distinct Wagners, almost a real DR..
JekyH and Mr.. Hyde-Wagner the Lit
tie and Wagner the Great.
Inc latter IL was VINO never IOTSOoh
his highest ideal in art. who worked a
quarter Or century upon great
music drama, The Ring of the Nibe
lungs" without the hope Of ever see
ing 1t given. and wrote to friend, IF
| live to complete it l shall have lived
gloriously, and If | die before it is fin
ished | shall have died for something
beautiful"
The second wife of Wagner was Cos
.ma, the daughter of Liszt. Coslma
Wagner was a helpmate indeed for her
imperative and very erratic husband.
She was his secretary. She stood as
the buffer between him and trouble
some visitors. She was the diplomat
who smoothed out many trouble that
was caused by Wagner's impolitic and
irritating ways, and, next to himself
Wagner loved her as well as anything

TORRICELlPS VACUUM.
Experiment That Led to the Invention
Of the Barometer.

or the 5arometer'
The barometer was invented by Tor
ricelli, a pupil of Galilei, In 1913. In
attempting to pump water from a very
deep well near Florence he found that
In spite Of all his efforts the liquid
would not rise higher In the pump
stock than thirty-two feet
This set the young scientist to think
ing. and as he could not account for the
phenomenon I'm any other way he was
not slow in attributing Il to atmos-
pheric pressure. He argued that water
would rise In vacuum olly to such n
height as would render the downward
pressure or weight Of the column OF
water Just equal to the atmospheric
pressure and. further. that should a
BEAVER fluid be used the height OF the
column could be much reduced
To prove this he selected glass tube
four feet long and after sealing one
end filed IL with mercury and then In
verted II In basin containing quan-
tity of the same peculiar liquid. The
column In the tube quickly fell to a
height Of nearly thirty inches above
the mercury in the basin, leaving In
the top of the tube a vacuum which Is
the most perfect that has ever been
obtained and which is to this day call
ed the Torricelli vacuum In honor OF
its discoverer.
The name OF the instrument means
weight or pressure measure" and It's
fundamental principles cannot be bet
.er illustrated than by the above de-
cribed experiment.
