Scene vi
Voice of Midnight
In the chamber of the king. Zede-
kiah at the window, looks at the city
bathed in moonlight. He envies other
kings who can talk with their gods,
or by their oracles know their will.
ut is terrible to be the servant of a
God who is always silent, whom no.
body has SEEM" He is to give coun-
sci; but he from whom will he re-
ceive counsel?
Meanwhile, here are the five init
mate counsellors whom he has called:
Pashur, the priest; Hanaja, the pro-
phet; Imri, the elder; Abimelek, the
general: Nachum, the financial min
lister. Since eleven months Jerusalem
is besieged. No help is coming.
What are they to do? All agree to
hold out. Only Nachum is solemn;
he has provisions for only three
think of parleying with Nebuchadne-
Ear? They oppose it, except Imri and
Nachum.
The king says that a messenger
from Nebuchadnezar has come. They
call him. 1t is Baruch. He announces
the propositions of the Chaldean: Ad-
miring the resistance of the Jews,
Nebuchadnezar consents to spare their
lives, if they will open the gates; he
wants only the humiliation of Zede-
kiah who was once king by his grace
and who must after expiration be-
come their king again, by his grace.
Zedekiah is to bow before him, walk
in front of the victor, the yoke on
his neck and the crown in his hand.
Zedekiah is indignant and Abimelek
supports him. The others who have
personally struck a good bargain,
show him the grandeur of sacrifice.
Detected, Zedekiah consents, resign
ing the crown in favor of his son.
But Nebuchadnezar makes other de-
mands. He wants to see him who is
master Of Israel; he wants to enter
the Temple. Pashur and Hananja re-
volt at this sacrilegious imposition.
They vote: Abimelek abstaining be-
cause he is made to act, not to DELHI
crate; the votes are equally divided.
That of the king is to decide. He asks
to be left alone to mediate. He is
about to consent to the conditions of
the Chaldeans, when Baruch admits
that it is through the influence of
Jeremiah that he went to parley with
in favor of peace.
Zedekiah rises in wrath at hearing
the name he wanted to ignore. So
Jeremiah even in his prison continues
to act by his thought and his cry for
peace! The exasperated ambition of
the king refuses to yield to the rising
power of the prophet. He sends
Baruch back to the Chaldeans with an
insulting reply. But hardly has
Baruch left, when Zedekiah regrets.
He tries in vain to sleep. The voice
IF Jeremiah fills his thought and the
silence of the night. He has him come
and calmly tells him of Nebuchadne-
Ears propositions, as though they had
lot been rejected. He tries to obtain
rom him approval of the policy
chosen; he would appease his con-
science, but the prophet reads his
most secret thoughts. He laments

Jerusalem. The frenzy of prophecy
SEXES him, he describes its destruc-
ton; he predicts to Zedekiah his chas-
tisement; the king will lose his sight
after having seen his three sons killed.
Furious, then spellbound, Zedekiah
throws himself on his bed, weeping
and crying: Pity! jeremiah does not
cease until he reached the final male
dlctlon. Then he awakens from his
wild ecstasy, unnerved, like his vic
tim. Without anger, without revolt,
Zedekiah recognizes the power of the
prophet; he believes in him, in his
frightful predictions:
Jeremiah, I did not want war.

And l loved thee, because thou hast
extolled it. It is not with a LIGHT
heart that took up the sword. I

when the time has come. And be near
me, if thy word comes true"
jeremiah: "I shall be near thee.
my brother Zedekiah."
He goes. The king recalls him:
Death is on me and see thee for
the last time. Thou hast cursed me,
jeremiah, now, bless me before we
part"
jeremiah: "May the Lord bless and
protect thee on all thy paths. May he
make his face shine on thee and give
thee peace"
Zedekiah las in dream): "And
may He give us peace!"
Scene VII
The Supreme Distress
The following morning in the square
of the Temple. The famished crowd
cries for bread, besieges the palace,
threatens Nachum with boarding.
Abimelek, to free him, orders his SOL
dlers against the people. In the mid
die of the riot voice cries that the
enemy has forced one of the gates.
The people cry out in terror, curse
the king. The priests, the prophets.
They remember jeremiah, who alone
predicted the truth. They set their
hope in him, deliver him from his
prison, carry him about in triumph.
calling him: "Saint! Master! Samuel!
Elijah! Help us!" jeremiah,
oOtSiiAAAs uOCo uOC dC llTSC understand.
When he hears them accuse the king
OF having sold his people, he says:
1T is not true!"
'They have sacrificed us. We
wanted peace" says the mob.
"Too late. Why do We shift your
fault upon the king? Ye wanted
war;"
"Not," cries the mob. "Not 1!
No: Not I! It was the King.
Not we! None of us!''
"Ye have wanted it, all of We! Your
hearts are fickle. Those who now cry
for peace. I heard them howl for war!
Evil upon We people. Ye change with
the wind. Ye have conceived war!
Now bear the fruit! Ye have played
with the sword. Now taste it's blade!"
Frightened, the crowd demands a
miracle from the prophet. Jeremiah
refuses. He repeats, "Bow in hu-
nifty! -. May Jerusalem fall, if God
wills it, may the Temple fail, may
israel and it's name be effaced. Bow,
DOW low"

Owing to the property which alum
mum possesses Of producing a very
high temperature when burned with
substances that give off oxygen it has
been employed for making a detonator
for firing explosives which do not
readily respond to the action of the
decorating compositions generally
used.
The aluminium is used in the form
of powder mixed with the other sub
stances filling the percussion caps or
decorators. The sudden high temper
allure induced by the pulverized alum
mum results in a greater mechanical
energy than can be produced with the
compositions not containing alum

Oxidation of Coal.

A more careful study of the phe-
nomenon. based upon a consideration
of the nature and structure of the coal
itself, led to the theory which prevails
today. This is that the oxidation of
the coal and not of the pyrites, is the
real source of the disastrous fires
which occasionally break out in the
holds of ships laden with coal and in
the vast heaps contained in coal
yards.
Coal possesses a surprising power
of absorbing oxygen. Some kinds of
coal will rapidly absorb two or three
times their own volume of oxygen
when exposed to air Bituminous coal
in particular always contain a consid
cradle amount of hydrogen. forming a
volatile compound with the carbon.
When oxygen is absorbed from the
air it begins to combine with both the
carbon and the hydrogen, and this
chemical action produces heat. The
heat in turn quickens the chemical
action, and if, in addition the coal in
which this action is going on is heap
ed together in a large mass. the heat
quickly accumulates because it can
not readily escape, coal being a slow
and poor conductor.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1922-06-22
Coal Absorbs Oxygen.

The smaller the pieces of coal the
greater the danger because a small
piece has in proportion to its mass a
larger surface area exposed to the air
and consequently to the absorption of
oxygen, than a large piece; and when
small pieces are heaped together they
form a porous mass which may be
thoroughly permeated by oxygen from
the atmosphere.
The presence of moisture also ac-
CELEBRATES the chemical action of the
oxygen in the coal so that the temper
ature of the met coal rises faster than
that of dry coal. In the process of
loading ships with coal a serious dan
ger is often invited by pouring the
coal into the hold from a considerable
height by means of chutes. The coal
at the bottom thus gets broken small
er and smaller, until it is in a fit state
for combustion TO be set up.
No doubt the mysterious loss of
many ships is to be explained by a
spontaneous ignition of the coal that
they carried.

Many of the mysteries of "spontan-

up by the advance of science. There
was time when the fact that heap
of coal can take fire of its own ac-
cord. so to speak. was regarded as al
most miraculous, says the New York
Herald.
After many serious accidents of this
kind had occurred. involving not in
frequently the loss of vessels at sea,
an explanation was suggested to the
effect that the fire was caused by the
oxidation of the pyrites of iron and
sulphur. which are often found in
coal. and which are popularity called
in England coal brasses" When the
pyrites are exposed to moisture rap

More and more interest is being
shown in the Cooperative cotton

Plans are mare for at least 20
teams of farmers and business. men

In fact, the two big factors that will

by the newspapers. So
During February, such men as Carl
Williams, the leading man who put
Oklahoma over; C. o. Moser, who
put Texas over and Clarence Poe,
Editor of the Progressive Farmer,
will speak in this state in the interest
of the Cooperative marketing plan.
