President William Mckinley, In
paying q tribute to the work of mis-

ment:
who can estimate the value Of the
missionaries to the progress Of the ma
tons? Their contribution to the on
ward and upward march of humanity
Is beyond all calculation. They have
inculcated industry and taught the
various trades. They have prom oted
concord and amity and brought ma

strengthened the sacred ties OF family

1.-The Saving And the Loving Heart"

AT the cornerstone laying of the
Iintsing Hospital, China, Or. Hou, a
Chinese physician. delivered an ad-
dress remarkable for its insight into
the spirit of medical missions. In
part he said:
IF any one ask who built tho
Christian Hospital OF Iintsingchow.
we may answer that 1t is the mis-
sionaries. SO YOU may wonder why
the missionaries left their country and
came through dangers to come here.
Did they do it for money, or fame, or
the love OF travel? None of these
causes. They came TO save the sick
people OF China. You see the saving
heart come from the loving, and the
loving heart came from Jesus Christ
So the root OF building the hospital at
Lintsing is just our Christ Because
men were moved by the Holy Ghost
In America and could not hide tho
benefits that they got from Christ
Therefore they collected money to
send preachers to other countries. and

The First War.

The first writing known to scholars
was the account of war waged be-
tween hostile nations in Mesopotamia,
perhaps $500 B. c.. The first battle
was that between Cain and Abel. APP
parently men have always been quick
to settle their differences by fighting.
The first warlike king is said to have
been Osymandyas Of Egypt, who
passed into Asia and conquered Bac-
tria in 2100 B. C. Palamedes Bac-
COS is mythically reported to have
been the first who ranged an army
in a regular line of battle, placed SEN
tinels round camp and excited the
soldiers vigilance by giving him a
password. This occurred during the
siege of Troy, the date of which is
variously estimated at about two
thousand five hundred years before
the Christian era.

"GIVE THE BOY A LANTERN"
Sound Advice for the Farmer, and
Also Works Well Along the
Lines Of Education.

A writer in one of the farm papers
has a suggestion for fathers who
wish to keep their sons on the farm.
"Give the boy a lantern" he says.
His idea, as he expands it, is that the
boy, once the lantern is his own prop
erty, will make his work pleasanter
by using it. He will do work before
dawn and after dark more cheerfully
because. his lantern takes away the
darkness and the sense of drudgery.
We do not have lanterns in the
city, but the Gary school system
gives our boys something to light
their lives with. 1t shows them that
there is something in life besides poll
parrot study, street corner loafng and
the perfunctory search, later on, for
"a job" 1t is a lantern that shows
them what is suited to their tempera-
ments and tastes. Instead of look
ing forward with dread to the day
when they must go out and find a
job they look with eagerness to the
time when they can use their knOWl-
edge and their skill in lines of work
to which they have become attached.
"A job" becomes ''the job and
the job is eagerly waiting for the boy.

Porpoise in Lone Race.

Four porpoises, the largest ever
housed at the New York aquarium,
one measuring nine feet, were put in
the center tank recently. They no
sooner hit the water than they started
on what looked like a race. J. Shay
of the aquarium force, who brought
them here, said they probably had a
bunch that after about 9,999,999 laps
they would catch up to an opening out
to sea. They circulate from left to
right, with the sun.
The porpoises were caught in net
at the fishery of Joseph K. Nye at
Hatteras. They came on the Old Do
minion liner Princess Anne.
Their racing diet will be 20 pounds
of fresh herring apiece.
The last porpoise in the aquarium
lived 81 months and 8 days and ate,
six and half tons of herring.

1lMBERING MINES IS COSTLY
Owners Compelled to Put Millions OF
Dollars Underground Every Year
of Operation.

Nearly 90000,000 cubic feet of tim
Der are placed in the anthracite mines
OF Pennsylvania every year, if an esti-
mate in the Colliery Engineer, lately
acquired by Coal Age, that the amount
OF timber in anthracite mines is ap-
proximately one cubic foot for every
ton of coal mined, is correct. The tim
bered gangways and drifts cover a
vast extent, exceeding 1000 miles, and
the closely timbered shafts with their
miles of heavy guide timbers which
must be constantly replaced, form
large item. The total output since the
beginning of anthracite mining is over
2,500,000,0O0 tons.
A billion tons of water, or over II
times as many tons as the coal pro-
duced during the year, must be pumped
out of the anthracite mines every year
According to the chief of the Pennsyl-
vania department of mines the timber
ing is an even greater expense than
the pumping. The cost of placing this
vast forest below ground is stagger-
ing.
The cost of the material is given as
about 6.5 cents per cubic foot for
round timber and 20 cents per cubic
foot for sawed timber. At the lower
figure this would make 90,000,00O cubic
feet cost $5,850,000. In addition to this,
there are millions Of mine ties, and
heavy white oak is used for the mine
cars. The use of steel timbers, which
are being adopted on account of their
longevity, for main gangways, turn
outs, pump rooms and shaft and slope
bottoms, will add to the total cost of
mining for the next few years, but will
effect final saving. Most of the tim
Der now used in the anthracite mines
is yellow pine from the South.

Harm Done by Hertzian Waves

Ever since the extensive commercial
employment of wireless telegraphy
there have been many who believe
that the powerful Hertzian waves Sc
riously affect organic life. In fact,
some have even suggested that laws
or regulations should be enacted to
protect organic life against wireless
waves. With a view to determining
the extent and nature of the radio
waves influence on organic life and
climate, DR.. c.. Abel-Musgrave recent.
ly asked several questions on the sub
ject to be answered by a number Of
prominent German scientists. The
summary of their answers was that
wireless waves have no influence on
organic life, nor do they alter climatic
conditions, although it is true that
certain electrical stresses are capable
of accelerating rainfalls.

SUCCESSOR TO FRENCH

Gen. Sir Douglas Haig, who has
succeeded Field Marshal French as
commander of the British forces in
France and Flanders, is fifty-four
years old. He began his military ca
reer with the Seventh Hussars in 1886
and served in the Sudan and South
African campaigns, in both of which
he won distinguished honors and pro-
motions.
At the outbreak of the present
war he was general officer command
ing at Aldershot and afterward was
made commander of the first army.
Several times during the war Gen.
eral Haig has been highly praised in
the dispatches of the general he has
succeeded. At the battle of the Aisne
his conduct was described by Field
Marshal Sir John French as bold,
skillful and decisive"
