but il may be stated that, according
20 the Continental edition of the Lon

been devised which. by what experts
call an electrical method of concen-

direction and in that direction only.
Hitherto the electrical waves sent

1t is perfected a wireless station will
be able to send out Morse or spoken

those for whom they are intended
The new apparatus which is being
worked at an experiment station in

pressed the greatest interest in the
discovery.

Title Fits the Duties.

The colored caretaker of small

cred on the front of his cap, source
of lasting pride. Having marked
diplomatic ability, he deserved a

while he was sweeping of the front

him and scrutinized the cap closely.

OF the Eye of a Frog.

The smallest camera in the world
which has actually taken" pictures is
doubtless the eye of the frog. says
Boys Life It has been found that If
a frog is kept in the dark for some
time the retina of the eye, on being
dissected, is found to have a purple
reddish color which fades away or be-
comes bIeached on exposure to day
light. If the eye be placed in front OF
a window and left there, or exposed
for some time, and then fixed in 4
per cent solution OF alum the OPTIC
gram is partially fixed and retains an
inverted picture of the window. 1t is
claimed that by a similar Photographic
process the last picture or image re
tanned by the eye of dead man OF
animal may be preserved.

Natural Thermometer.

1t was a wonderful sapphire, so it is
said, that led the celebrated Doctor
Sorby to the discovery of the nature
of the liquid sometimes found in
closed in the cavities of crystals.
The gem in question contained &
tube-shaped cavity, a quarter Of al
inch long and an eighteenth of an incl
in diameter, which was so regular il
its bore that it served, by means OF
the liquid partially filling it, for 6
Thermometer. The contained liquid
haIf-fned the bore at 80 degrees F
and completely filled it at so degrees
A study of the rate OF expansion Of
the liquid led to the conclusion that Il
must be carbonIc acid.

the pastor, Rev. A. C. Elliott. He re-
ferred to the conditions prevailing in the
old European nations for many years
past, pointing out the suspicion, distrust
and fear which existed among them: a
dlstrust and fear which led to the crea.
tion and training of vast armies, the
building of huge navies and the conse-
quent taxation of the peoples to support
the same. Europe had been an armed
camp with millions of men Just waiting
the word to fly at each others throats
The question was, were such conditions
to continue, or would league of nations
put an end to such conditions and elimi-
nate war2 The discussion which follow
ed was interesting and profitable. The
delay of the United States in ratifyine
the Peace Treaty was generally regretted,
and the opinion of those present was
that If the matter of the "League of Ma
tons" was lett to the people of this
country they would declare in favor of it,

A Wonderful Conference

The long heralded Pastors Conference
was held at Bangor last week, and more
than fulfilled expectations in attendance,
human interest and spiritual power. The
speakers were of high order. There was
no attempt at oratory, but there was a
wonderful eloquence in the stream Of
facts presented that moved and melted
the heart, and with power to stir it like
trumpet.
It was picked company that was
brought together there, between two and
three hundred preachers from every part
of the State-city preachers, country
preachers, orthodox and liberal were
there. 1t must have inspired every
speaker standing before it.
The speakers were of wide repute,
specialists in their line. They were
brought on one after another without let
up, session after session, morning, after.
noon, evening. day after day; all dealing
with the manifold and absorbing prob
lens facing the Christian church at home
and abroad.
1t was high pressure conference. No
waste time; constant progress; deeply
earnest A responsive gathering, fire.
quently applauding and again swept
with laughter-now and again in tears.
The strain of listening was often relieved
by throwing upon the screen pictures and
photographs, maps and unique charts, the
eye assisting the ear in grasping the
thought.
But what was it all about? 1t was not
political gathering meeting to elect a
leader. Not musical convention, or a
Bangor convocation with great lecturers.
1t was company of ministers of Christ,
as 1T were upon mountain, looking out
from that high place upon the needs of a
weary and troubled world, seeking a
clearer view of that world need, and
studying how the redeeming power of the
worlds Saviour might be effectively and
speedily brought to bear upon it. In those
solemn and vivid hours, what moving
of mems hearts as the misery and ignor-
ance and sin was revealed by survey and
speaker, of the more than one half of the
world, not yet reached by the gospel of a
risen and gloritied Christ The impress
sions will never be forgotten. 1t will
transtigure many pastorate in Maine.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, June 15.-Prospects Of
a falling off in receipts after this
week outdid by far in the corn
market today the bearish effect of
large immediate arrivals .han had
been, expected. AS a result prices
closed strong, 3Bc to 37sc net
higher, with July. $1.77& to
SI775s and September $1.67% to
SlGS. Oats finished at &c to ad-
vance and provisions unchanged to
lie lower.
AT first the corn market showed
considerable weakness owing to
the fact that today's receipts total
ed 240 cars, an aggregate which
was generally admitted to be dis
ceuraging to the bulls. There was
an active demand from shippers.
though it was not long before a
number of leading commission
houses turned to the buying side.
Meanwhile attention focused main
Nv on gossip that this week would
end the increased movement OF
supplies from rural sources, and
that for the next two months re-
ceipts would be light, pending COM
pletion of the wheat, oats and hay
harvest. A big eastern cotton
trader recently conspicuous a short
in corn, was said to have covered
with great freedom during the last
hour. ..
Oats reflected the strength of
corn. Rains had some bearish in
fmence, but not of lasting sort.
Provisions were weak with hogs.
Closing prices:
Corn-July, s1.77%; September,
$1.67Ss.
Oats-July, $1.03&; Sept. IS Y c..
