PETER HELPS HIS MOTHER.

re En- 7EIfo FJo MO HEX.
Peter O Tiara was much troubled.
His mother was sick and since they
were poor the rent could not be
paid. He was only twelve years
old and 70 one seemed to want to
employ a boy no older than he was.
Peter had walked the streets OF
Chicago for two days looking for
work and could find nothing to do.
At last he came to the doors OF
an enormous church. Being very
tired he laid down on the steps and
was soon fast asleep. In a few
hours he was awakened by a light
touch on the shoulder. Upon look
ing up he saw a kind-faced man,
the rector of the church The pas
tor took Peter to his home and
there ne heard Peters story. Up
on finding that Peter had voice of
rare quality, the rector gave him a
position as choir boy in the church.
With tn: salary he earned from this
Peter was able to help his mother
In after years Peter became a great
singer and was known throughout
the world.-Maurice Jones.

OF 1t was formed thousands Of years
ago. Coal is found down deep in
the mines. II is black, hard and is
used for heating purposes.
The different kinds Of coal are
anthracite and hard. Anthracite Ia
used for heating and hard for gas
our best friend. The coal gives a
good light on dark nights. We
could hardly live If we had no coal.

STORY OF TWO LITTLE PIGS.

: Once there were two little pigs.
Their names were Squinty and
Squealer. They would run away
every time they could get chance.
Their father and mother did not
like for them to run away from
home. One day when the farmer
went to feed the pigs he could not
find Squinty and Squealer. They
had run away into the woods to
wade in the water. It was getting
dark and the little pigs did not
know the way back home They
finally got out Of the woods. They
saw their home and ran as fast as
they could to get there. When
they had had their supper the
farmer saw that they were back.
He was glad to see them. They
never ran away again.

SOLDIERS SHOOTING CLAY
PIGEONS FROM TOWER.

War has produced new sport.
To familiarize the American avia-
tors with shooting at Huns from
any angle a tower has been con-
structed at the ground school at
Austin, Texas. Soldiers climb to
the platform at its top and shoot
at clay pigeons to perfect their
range. This enables them to shoot
truer from an aircraft or promi-
nence of any kind when they reach
France.

VELOCITY OF BIG SHELLS
Time Is Required for Stone to
Fall to Center of Earth.

Studying the velocity of shells and
bullets fired In the war led Maurice
Sanger. n French geometer, to turn
to the old question of the time 1t
would take a stone TO fall to the center
of the earth. His conclusion was that
1t would take about 20 minutes 81 sec
onds.
Gassenddi, who gave the subject
much thought In the last century, made
the time 20 minutes even. Mersenne
on the other hand contended that six
hours would be required.
Sanger says that as the stone Up
preached the center Of the earth II
would be drawn downward by the core
of the earth and upward by the shell
which 1t had already penetrated. The
rate at which the density of the earth
varies or increases as we penetrate to
greater depths is unknown. Sauger's
formula is based upon considerations
of the moment Of inertia of the earth.
as calculated from the procession OF
the %equinoxes. which agree with OBJ
servations on the density of the earth
conducted in mine shafts.
II a shaft were driven right through
the earth the stone would appear at the
Antlpodes after IS minutes 30 seconds
and then return TO its starting point,
at which II would make its reappear-
ance at the end of l hour II minutes.

CONTEST OF THE SUPERMEN
Warfare of Remote Future Predicted
to Depend on Battles Conducted
by Picked CONTESTANTS.

A day, now far removed, may come
when the embattled hosts Of rival ma
tions will give place to a wager of bat
tie to decide the conflict The battle
Will then be confined to the combat
ants alone without violent interior
enee with the peaceful pursuits of non
.combatants or destruction OF their
property.
First, however. we must evolve
great engines of destruction. so perfect
that a few skilled heroes will direct
each n Of them. Ellery G. Stowell
writes in the Century. These war ma
chimes will be SO costly that only a few
great powers will hav he source
to construct and maintai bem. Wise
legislation and skillful sysl Of tax
alton will be necessary to orga.lze the
whole people for their support. A
chosen few, picked from the whole ma
ton, will man them, men in the full
vigor of their strength, physically per-
feet to endure the terrible strain and
powerful of brain to meet and sur
mount every intricacy of mechanics
and every difficulty of strategy.
Above all, these hero supermen must
be of such answering character that
they will, day in and day out, with
out surcease, devote their unf1agging
zeal to the great task of defending the
civilization for which they contend.
This evolution and the increasing eco
nomic burden of maintenance of this
machinery will make war the luxury of
the most powerful states and will
cause the area of war constantly to re-
cede. Small nations will no longer be
able to maintain military establish
ments and eventually the millions of
men now battling upon the field of
honor will have been replaced by a
contest among a few men in control of
.stupendous machinery.
