METHODIST TO OBSERVE
WEEK OF PRAYER

Week of Prayer" at the First
Methodist church, Monday, Nov, 10,
as it tells of the work that is being
done, in the West Virginia Coal
fields, where part of the gifts re-
ceived during the Week Of Prayer
will be sent.
The region that is known as the
West Virginia Coal Fields is in re-
atty very small. The most of tho
work is being done in only one
eounty-McDowelL This county
lies in the extreme southwestern
par of the state and borders on
Virginia and Kentucky. The noun
tains are high and rugged with deep
cut, narrow valleys. Through one
of these valleys runs the Norfolk
and Western Railroad, the ''main
line" of that part of the State
Five of our eight missionaries are
located on these branch lines, the
others are near towns on the main
line. Most of thesroads are macad-
a1nized and are in good condition.
Many camps are situated along
these roads as we'll as along the
railroad.
The people of these camps may be
divided into three classes generally.
the natives or mountaineers, the
transients, and the foreigners Many
of the containers who are now
working in the mines have homes
somewhere up in the mountains
|andlspend only the day III the camps.
These, T9ugh log cabins, are some
times several miles from the camp.
There are very few schools or
churches near these homes. and
in iilany instances the children are
getting no education and seldom
go to religious service. Some of
these people, however, have left
their homes, moved down into the
camps, and make up All important
part of the population, In one re-
spect the work among these noun
tain people is the most Important,
because it is more permanent.
The transients, as they are cali
ed, are Americans too, but they are
not natives. Generally they are
natives of border States who have
come to the camps to make quick
money. AS a rule, they spend their
entire life right in the coal fields,
but their intention is always to go
back home. On account. of their
instability, it is hard to work with
this class. By the time the worker
has become well acquainted with
them and has found hcr point of
contact or started some construc-
tive work, they move or, and rluch

NEW USE FOR ALUMINIUM
Metal Being Used for Making Stage
Scenery in Place Of Canvas
Covered Wood Frames.

From Chemnitz, il Saxony, comes
the news Of the use Of aluminium as a
substitute for wood in a truly novel
manner. Sheets of thin aluminium are
being used for stage scenery in place of
the usual canvas-cOvered wood frames.
This innovation was originally in
troduced on account OF the exceedingly
high price Of wood at that time; but
repeated trials have convinced the
management of the Chemnitz opera
house, where the experiment was first
introduced that saving in expense is
not the only advantage.
The scenery, in the first place, is
lighter even than the old-style frames :;
it is not subject to danger from fire,
and scenery may be painted on both
sides Of it, an imposs.bility in the days
of the old-style sets. Moreover, painted
scenes can easily be erased and new
ones substituted
The acoustic properties of the new
material seem to be as good as those
Of the old scenery.
The aluminium is delivered at the
theater in roughly rolled sheets of the
size and form of the original wooden
sections Of scenery. Its thickness is
from to s millimetres (0.2 TO 0.3
inch) .-Scientific American.

TAKES 5 MEN TO HOLD BIRD
Penguin of the South Polar Regions
Weighs Geventy Pounds and Has
Great Strength.

The largest, as well as the rarnst of
the penguins, those queer birds of the
South Polar regions, was first seen by
Captain Cook. the noted navigator.
These strange creatures sometimes
weigh as much lis Seycnty-iive or eighty
pounds, and the muscles covering their
breast contribute more than one-thlrd
of their entire weight
A very large specimen was captured
and taken on board ship in an cXpedi-
ton to the Antarctic Standing erect
in the sheen of its plumaga, it seemed
clothed with gold and purple, and
white and black.
Presently ii gave IN exhibition Of Its
extraordinary strength. one blow Of
its fiipper-like fore limb sent an i'm
pertinent dog bowling off to nurse his
head. Five men were required to Sc
cure the penguin, and they succeeded
only with great difficulty, one holding
to each leg, one to each hipper and one
graSping the neck. After being strong
ly bound, the muscular bird succeeded
in breaking loose.
Another Indication of the immense
strength of the fore limbs, or ilippers,
Of the penguin is the fact that with
their aid the birds are able to leap per
pendicularly out Of the water to a
height Of three feet or more, landing
