NEW DEATH TESTS.

An Italian scientist describes the
following three new methods OF de-
termining the cessation of life:
The first is the ether test A drop
of ether is instilled into the conJunc-
tival sac of one eye. If this is follow
ed by reddening of the conjunctival
it affords proof that the circulation
is intact and that life is still present.
The other eye is used as control.
The second test consists in the sub
cutaneous injection of fuorescin,
which, if the individual is still living,
is soon followed by a yellowish color
ing of the skin, and mucous membrane
of the mouth and particularly OF the
frenum of the tongue show this color
alton most distinctly. A negative re-
suit is obtained i'll cases OF marked
slowing or enfeeblement of the cir
culation.
The third test consists in direct eX-
ploration of the heart by means OF a
Stylet. This is introduced through a
small incision in one of the intercostal
spaces Any movement. in the heart
is communicated to the stylet.

MOTHERS OF MEN.

The bravest battle that ever was
fought,
Shall | tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find
it not;
Twas fought by the mothers of
men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or
thought
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in a walled-up woman's
heart,
Of woman that would not yield;
But bravely, silently, bore her part
Lo! there is the battlefield!
No marshaling troop, no bivouae
song,
No banners to CLEAN and wave;
But, oh! these battles, they last 81
long,
From babyhood to the grave.

and for worldly advancement to quencl

pref ENDING.

A bright-faced happy little boy sat
ON the steps of the porch watching
some little birds taking their bath in
the fountain he himself had helped
father make. They were quarreling
and fighting for the best places. See

birds and not pigs, and stop your
fighting"
Just then the front door opened and
a lady stepped out and said pleasant
ly, Mr. Piper, there are some weeds
that must be pulled this morning.
Will you be ready SOON"

Piper has gone away on his vacation. "

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
HOW MANY STARS CAN ONE SEE?

Did YOU ever try to count all the
stars you could see? Or, thinking this
a hopeless task, did it ever occur to
you that 5000 would be generous
estimate of their number? This is
true. The stars Of the sky, visible
from any one place, may be counted
in a few hours under ordinary cir
They do not exceed 1000 or 5000, the
exact number depending upon atmos-
pheric conditions and the keenness of
the individual eye
Yet, however many are seen, there
is always the vague impression of
more just beyond the limit of visible
ity. In fact much more than half
of what we call starlight comes from
stars that are separately too small
to be seen, but whose number is SO
great as to more than make up for
their individual faintness. The milky
way is just such a cloud of faint stars,
| and through the telescope breaks up
| into shining points, each an independ-
| ent star.
| These faint stars, which are found
in every part Of the sky as well as
in the milky way, are usually called
telescope, in recognition of the fact
that they can be seen only in the
telescope, while the other brighter
| ones are known as lucid stars
Nearly nineteen centuries ago St
Paul noted that lone star differeth
from another star in glory" and nc
more apt words can be found to mark
the difference Of brightness which
the stars present. Even prior to St
Paul's day the ancient Greek astron
omers had divided the stars in respect
of brightness into six groups which
the modern astronomers still use, call
ing each group a magnitude.
Thus a few of the brightest stars
are said to be of the first magnitude
the great mass of faint ones which
are just visible to the unaided eye
are said to be Of the sixth magnitud,

"GREAT INSPIRERS."

Under this title Father Zahm has
given us most interesting and
fascinating book. The theme of the
author is the influence of the eternal
womanly on two men, both represen-
tatives of one of the greatest turning
points of human history. The two
characters whom Father Zahm has
selected to illustrate his thesis of
noble feminine influence are St.
Jerome and Dante Alighieri.
The former, who lived in the fourth
century, is the connecting link be-
tween Paganism and Christianity.
The latter who lived nine centuries
later, is the nexus between the
Middle Ages and the Renaissance. st.
Jerome, who is famous as being the
most erudite of all the Fathers of the
Church, a noted traveller and linguist
and q Scriptural scholar without peer,
has left us as his monumental work
the Latin Vulgate. Dante, whom
Dean Milman states is the creator of
Italian poetry, and through Italian of
Christian poetry, has been immor-
talized by the ''Diyina Comedia.'
Both authors owe their life work to
the inspiration, the stimulating in
tiuence and the encouragement of
noble women.
In the case OF st. Jerome it was
that noble Patrician matron Paula
and her sanity daughter Eustochium,
to both of whom he has dedicated
most of his Scriptural work, who
were his inspirers and co-laborers.
Dante, led EDWARDS and upwards by
the image of his angelicized inspirer
Beatrice, was moved to write con-
corning her what had not before been
written of any woman and as a result
the world has been enriched by the
"Divina Comedia."
The last chapter of Father Zahm' S
book is q discussion of the question
whether Beatrice was a creation of
the poets imagination or a real per-
sonage and the evidence brought for
ward by the author strongly estab-
fishes the latter view.
In this age of an exaggerated
feministic movement whose unsexed
propagators take delight in painting
the women Of early and medieval
Christianity as pious dolts possessing
only feminine grace and beauty, but
devoid of accomplishments and intel
lectual influence, work like Father
Zahms is healthy antidote. 1t
brings before us in these feminine
| types women who unite the purest
heart with the highest intellect and
| these are, after all, only a few, OF
that glorious host of womanly in
| spirers and collaborators whom Chris
tianity has given to the world.

PLATING

If there was one thing more than
another that John-o hated to do, it
was to pull weeds. John-o's really
truly name was John, and most boys
with that name are called Johnnie, but
when John-o was a tiny baby, the
first sound that he made was 20" and
when he began to talk, every SEN
tence began with an 60 So they
called him "John-o," 1t sounded
queer until you got used to it. His
other name was MIR. Piper Mr.
Piper was the name of the man who
did odd jobs for the family every now
and then, and as John-o loved to play
he was somebody else than just a
little boy he said one day, ooh
mother, may I purtend am Mr.. Piper
when | am doing things for you?"
why, yes, if you would like to
but Mr.. Piper is always glad to dc
everything | ask him to. You viii
have to be like Mr.. Piper"
That was some time ago This
morning after John-os mother lief
him, he sat looking at the birds {
little longer, but he knew those weeds
ought to be pulled, and soon started
for the fower-garden. He thought The
| flowers nodded to him as he watched

want, and you're going to get it, too
| These selfish old weeds are drinking
up half the water that belongs to you
| I'll soon stop that"
1t was hot work wedding in the sun

house for drink of water. His olde
sister, Mary, looked up and said

grayely, just as the real Mr.. Piper did
Then he saw his mother coming to-
ward him with glass of delicious
looking cold lemonade, and he liked
lemonade so much.
You must be very warm, Mr.. Pr
per- she said, won't you have some
lemonade?" Then she suddenly re-
membered, and turned away, "Oh, 1
forgot, Mr.. Piper is on his vacation"
John-o was SO disappointed, and he
didn't know what to say. Then he
smiled and went over to the window,
why, Mary, here's Mr.. Piper coming
UP the walk. He's just got back from
his vacation, and he is going to finish
wedding that flower-bed this morning.
Then he looked at his mother oh,
Mrs. Allen he exclaimed, Il am Mr.
Piper. I've just got back from my
vacation, and if you please | would
like that glass of lemonade
His mother smiled as she gave il to
him. Certainly. Mr.. Piper, am glad
to have it for you" John-o went back
to his wedding very happy little boy.
That afternoon John-o was helping
his mother wipe the dishes, as it was
the maids afternoon out. He was
thinking what dear mother she was,
she always understood him, and she
liked to play pretending just as he
did, Pretty soon he looked up and
said Mother, was just thinking
that when God gave out the mothers,

POWER OF THE GYRoScOPE.

Tinkering in his machine shop to
design novel Christmas present for
one of his boys, Elmer A. Sperry a
few years back stumbled on to a half
dozen new applications of what had
previously been regarded as a merely
interesting mechanical curiosity, the
Syroscope.
Now his inventions will keep ship
from rocking and the passengers from
seasickness, an airship from air peck
cts and furnish the only true compass
that the mariner, guide or air pilot
knows. Making the gun deck OF a
battleship as steady a gun mount as
may be had on land, the gyroscope
eventually will double the efficiency
of the navy, it. is said. Anything that
needs stability, excluding possibly
Central American governments and
street cars, needs d gyroscope, Mr.
Sperry told Il Detroit audience.
The use OF submarines and airships
has been made possible largely
through the gyroscope. Before the
stabilizers were put aboard the I'm
dersea boats, because of their cigar
like shane, rolled so frightfully that
no man could live in them. With one
of the little tops aboard the
Deutschland can ride as evenly as a
mammoth liner on smooth sea. The
principal advantage TO airships has
been i'll the gyroscope, which pos
sesses the advantage of always
netic compass in practical use under
stress points anywhere from north
west to northeast-and sometimes
southeast.

PHOSPHORUS IN HUMAN BODY.

The human body contains, among
other constituents, about two pounds
of phosphorus. This phosphorus, il
extracted and put to another use,
would make up about 1000 packages
of friction matches. Besides phos-
phorus the human body contains a few
ounces of sodium and half an ouce of
potassium. The quantity of the latter
would be sufficient for many expert
ments in a class in chemistry. In
addition to sodium and potassium
there are few grains of magnesium
in the human body, enough to make
