Vac GentLenaan Values.

VIE gentleman values the strongest in the world.
Because the gentleman is, first Of all, man. He
Is not mllksop The gentleman is unafraid. As
rule the Dusterer and the bully coward at heart.
The gentleman is quiet He knows that power is silent
it Is the waste from that makes noise The steam
IN the locomotive that pulls the tran cannot be heard
that which Kisses and whistles is the escape.
You cannot be gentleman without imagination You
must be able to think yourself into the other mans feel
ings
The gentleman doesn't hurry. He may move swiftly
fast he is going.
The gentleman loses self control. And who
does not control himself control others.
The gentleman keeps the rules of the game. He doesn't
cheat nor strike below the belt
The gentleman respects himself So others respect him.
The gentleman is not self seeking Hence honors seek
him.
The gentleman minds his own business He does not
NEEDLE That why others listen him when he speaks
and rely upon him when he promises.
The gentleman is good loser. He does not boast when
ne gains and he does not whine when fortune turns against
him. You have feeling that the gentleman is little in
different both to your praise and your blame. Not that he
is egotstc but that after ALL it his praise and
blame that he values and fears.
The gentleman seeks justice the half civilized seeks
vengeance.
The gentleman treats his superors with dignity and his
interiors with courtesy.
The gentleman shrnks from hurting the feelings of any
human being causing pain to any animal.
The gentleman may appreciate fame and value admra-
ton but he does not have the itch for notoriety.
The gentleman feels ashamed when he praised for that
which he does not deserve
The gentleman desire is to be great the bounders de-
sire is to be called great.
The gentleman is particular about his character
than about his reputation.
The gentleman is not known by his uniform; you can
tell gentleman in the clothes of hod as readily
in the clothes of head waiter.
The gentleman courteous but not serve quiet but not
weak strong but not obsreperous self respecting but
proud fair minded but not indifferent.

GARRETT P. SERVISS TALKS ON
SCIENCE AND PROPHECY
No Attempt Is Made to Challenge Scriptures,

them some three centuries before
Christ.
Bacon quotes other apparent
prophecies Of a more definite
kind, such as that of the death Of
Henry II of France sin a duel"
and he says Of them: my judg-
ment is that they ought all to be
despired, and ought to serve but
for winter talk by the fireside."
Science has followed the ex.
cellent example Of Bacon in not
undertaking a critical examina-
ton Of the prophecies contained
in Holy Books, because it is not
its design any more than it was
his to do anything unnecessarily
to challenge religious beliefs, as
long as such beliefs do not stand
in the way of the progress of
knowledge.
With regard to certain state
ments of fact in the Scriptures
the case is somewhat different,
for in few instances such state.
ments are so opposed to estab-
lished truths that they cannot be
accepted literally. But even then
the scientific man does not think
Of throwing religion overheard,
or Of attacking it's essential prin-
ciples. He simply says: "It can
not be that this was intended in
the sense that it seems to con-
vey."

Detects Brine

A DEVICE to determine wheth-
"A er liquid has been substituted
excessively for solid food in cans

Of the Bureau of Chemistry,

culture.
The instrument is a perforated.
circular brass plate three inches
in diameter, to the center of
which is screwed perpendicularly
a brass rod one-quartsr of an
inch square. On one side of the
rod is a scale graduated in inches
and sixteenths of an inch. When
a can has been opened for
sampling by the inspector, the
measuring instrument Is pressed
down lightly on the solid con.
tents, the liquid portion rising
through the perforations. A
straight edge is then placed
across the top of the can ard
the reading made where 1t comes
in contact with the brass rod.
If this instrument proves as
satisfactory as officials expect it
will aid materially in detecting
the practice of selling brine,

CoRRESPO NDENT asks:
What explanation has sci

CO r r E S p o NDENT asks:
"a What explanation has sci
"A ence for Bible prophecies?"
Science has no explanation for
Bible prophecies. 1t is not the
business Of science to inquire
into Bible prophecies. They are
not Of such a nature that scien-
tific methods could be applied to
explain them. A prophecy is not
open to explanation. If it were
it would cNse to be a prophecy
and become a discovery.
1t is a very widespread error
that science opposes religion.
Science simply let's religion alone,
as 1t ought to do. But there are
word of science that it seeks TO
contest with religion, or with
supernatural revelation. They in
sist that it must have an opinion
to express on the subject, and
they want to drag that supposed
opinion forth with the purpose
Of belaboring it. The indiffer-
ence Of science to matters which
do not concern it is transformed
by such persons into opposition
and enmity.
1t is equally false that most
scientific men are atheists, or
scoffers at religion. The work
Of such men is searching for the
exact truth, as far as human
senses and understanding can
grasp 1t. The kind Of truth they
seek Is such as can be proved by
means equally open and evident
to all men.
Francis -BacOn's Views.
Take such things as my cor
respondent specifically refers to.
as for instance prophecies about
the Messiah; prophecies about the
Jews; prophecies about Babylon,
and Tyre, and Egypt; prophecies
about Seductive spirits" to come
Gin the latter days" to draw men
away from the true faith, and so
on. He says that more than 80
per cent have been fulfilled. Very
well; but science does not even
ask for the proof of the state
ment, although when the question
is persistently thrust upon it, it
might retort: what about the
10 per cent that were not full
filled? How do you account for
them?"
The attitude of science toward
the prophecies of Scripture, or
rather it's lack Of any attitude
with regard to them, was FORE
Swallowed long before modern sci
ence was born by that very wise
man, Francis Bacon. In his essay
on Prophecies" he says:
81 mean not to speak of Divine
Prophecies nor of Heather Ora
cles, nor of Natural Predictions,
but only of prophecies that have
been of certain memory and from
hidden causes" AS an example
he quotes the verses in a tragedy
of Seneca that were held to be a
prophecy Of the discovery of
America:
"In later ages there shall come
a time when Ocean shall loose
the chains Of things, and the
vast earth shall lie open, and
Typhis shall disclose new worlds;
nor shall Thule be the farthest
land"

The use of concrete masonry prob
ably begins with the Romans. who
employed it In Eoad building and
foundation work. Coming down from
the time of the Romans, the ancient
city of Ciudad Rodrigo has walls ex-
listing at the present day in which are
buried large powders Of stone These
walls are in a good state of preserya-
ton at the present time; in fact, so
much so that they still bear the
prints of the boards which made up
the forms which held the concrete in
It's semi-liquid state at the time it
was put in. It is an interesting mat
ter to note that the modern practice
of putting large masses Of stone in
concrete masonry follows exactly
the scheme used in building these an
cient walls Of Ciudad Rodrigo. This
method not only reduces the cost Of
the resulting fabric, but also makes
it stronger Scientific American.
