Evangelist Torrey, who prides him #elf upon the number of his converts, met one hardened sinner in Chicago whom he failed to convert. The min ister had been preaching to a tent full of people. He had described the vices of the rich, and had pointed Hiblical analogies at their luxuries. One man in the back of the tent had seemed to be much interested. He leaned forward to catch every word. Tor rey, taking the interest to mean approaching conversion, redoubled his efforts. "The road to hell is lined with vintage, vine, beautiful women and fine automobiles!" he exclaimed. With a sigh as of relief, the man in the back of the tent arose. "Oh, death, where is thy sting?" ho said. Something New Under the Sun.

A Most Effective Agent to Reveal Adulterations in Food. The miscroscope is becoming more and more a commercial tool. Its value in the recognition of adulterated vegetable substances, especially foods, in the shape of line powder, is very groat. This appears clearly from an article contributed to the Revue Scien tifique by Eugene Colin. This writer points out that the growing custom of buying certain products in the state of powder, which compels merchants to procure substances in this state, has given rise to the new industry of pul verization, whoso exploiters, in order to make use of their personnel and plant, are now furnishing in pulverized form a host of natural products that were formerly sold only whole. Noth ing, he remarks, could better serve the interests of the adulterators than the development of this business. The detection of fraud in cases of this kind must .evidently be made Rice Flour. by chemical methods. Chemistry, the writer goes onto say, enables us to prove the presence of certain well defined organic compounds such as gluten in flour, quinin in cinchona, caffein in tea, etc., but generally it is able to give no precise indication of the nature of the various mixtures that we may wish to test. Microscopy is thus the more delicate method, and it has been greatly facilitated jjy the observations and experiments of scientific men during the past 50 years on the anatomical structure of various vegetable products. The writer continues: "The microscopic determination of a vegetable powder demands of an an alyst a profound knowledge of all t li e anatomical elements compos ing the vegetable organ that fur nlshed this pow (*er' ' 8 not ' J enough to know the characteristics Wheat Grain: t jj e organ as Cross-Section.

To know these it is absolutely necessary to have seen them and compared them with prepa rations similarly made from the veget able organ supposed to be the source of the powder under examination. * * * For one familiar with this kind of ob servation it is extremely easy to say whether a vegetable powder comes from a root, a bark, a seed, or a leaf; Anatomicai Elements of Wheat Flour. the difficulty is greater when the exact botanical origin is required. * * * "When seeds are pulverized while still covered with all their envelopes, the determinative elements are made up especially of the debris of their various teguments.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1.908. FOR SKY-SAILING. High Explosives Suggested by Scientist to Run Motors. The employment In aeroplane motors of some form of very high explosive controlled by extremely low tempera ture is suggested by Prof. Carl liarus, of Brown university, in Science. Prof. Barus thinks that although motors have been built that are strong enough to drive and sustain an aeroplane, the required excess of power has never yet been reached. He writes: "The fact that a machine of the aeroplane type built entirely of metal and canvas" may be made to fly by the power ot an ordinary steam engine judiciously constructed was practical ly demonstrated some time ago by S. P. Langley. More would, therefore, be expected from the gas engine, if con structed with equal forethought.. I have always had some misgivings, however, as to whether these experi ments, into which so much devoted labor was put, actually met the real issue involved. It seemed to me that they proved that the power available in case of the ordinary engine is just sufficient to maintain flight and no more; whereas a really practical ma chine should be provided with a motor whose output of work per second and per kilogram of weight could be made enormously to exceed the demands up on it. under conditions of smooth soaring. "If one is in search of n maximum of power combined with a minimum of weight, one involuntarily looka to some form of modern explosive and in particular to those which can be worked up into wicks or ribbons. These could be adapted for use in con nection with the rocket principle which has so frequently stimulated the imagination of inventors, in a way to require the least amount of subsidiary mechanism. In fact, such expansion is virtually Its own propeller. The only question is, how can this quite pro hibitively excessive power be con trolled? In oth'er words, how may the enormous per second expenditure of energy be reduced in any desirable amount at will, and compatible with safety and the need of the operator? "Now it occurred to me that in case of the nitrogen explosives there may Who Suggests High Explosive Power for Propulsion of Airships. be a method of obtaining a continuity of power values within safe limits from insignificant amounts up to the highest admissible, by using some ap propriate method of very cold storage, it is well known that at sufficiently low temperatures phosphorus and oxygen cease to react on each other, that fluorin is ind'fferent to hydrogen, etc. Is it not, therefore, probable that an explosive tendency will be toned down as temperature decreases; or that a molecular grouping which is all but unstable at ordinary temperatures will become stable at a temperature suffi ciently low and proportionately stable at intermediate temperatures? This is then the experiment which I would like to see tried, the endeavor to get a gradation of power values ending in prohibitively large maximum, by the cold storage of explosives. If it suc ceeds, it seems to me that a motor yielding per pound weight not only all the power needed in the flying-ma chine under any emergency will be forthcoming, but that large amounts of the inevitably dangerous source of such power may be taken aboard for use en route. The lower temperature of the upper air would here itself be an assistance." Aeronaut's Narrow Escape. Eugene Godet, a French aeronaut, had a narrow escape from being drowned in a recent ascent at James town, Va. His propelling machinery failed to act, and the wind swung the airship against a water tower, both the propellers being knocked off. Relieved of the weight, the airship rapidly ascended, and when over Hampton Roads suddenly dived toward the wa ter, but again arose and drifted away. Godet clung to his machine, and fi nally landed in a badly bruised condi tion, and with a wrecked airship, 14 miles north of Newport News. The Caspian Sink. It results from the careful measure ments of level recently made by Lieut. Col. Pariisky along the line of the Transcaspian railway that the level of the Caspian sea is 83 feet below the level of the oceans. If the Caspian sink were filled with water up to ocean-level, the town of Kraßnovodsk, which stands on its shore, would be submerged, for the mean elevation of that town is between 63 and 64 feet below ocean level, - BEYOND LIMIT OF PATIENCE. Explanation Satisfied Policeman That Punishment Was Due. Policeman Kneirem, of the Tender loin precinct, saw an old man beating a small boy on Seventh avenue re cently in a fashion that reminded the officer of the happy days when he used to beat it from the parental beating. So with a cheerful smile, having chil dren of his own, the policeman ap proached the old man. "Listen," replied the man; "half an hour ago I sent. Isaac to the delicates sen. I gave him two quarters, one with which to buy bread, the other te buy fish. And now he comes back and says he wants to know which quarter is for the fish and which for the bread. Is it enough?" "It is," replied Kneirem.—New York World. ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and Disease Spread All Over Body —Cured in 4 Days By Cuticura. "One day we noticed that our little boy was all broken out with itching sores. We first noticed it on his little hands. Ilis hands were not as bad then, and we didn't think anything serious would result. But the next day we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being so good for itching sores. By this time the disease had spread all over his body, and his hand 3 were nothing but a solid mass of this itch ing disease. I purchased a box of Cuti cura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night I took tho Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and washed him well. Then I dried him and took the Cuticura Ointment and anointed him with it. I did this every evening and In four nights he was entirely cured.

A party of tourists was being shown around Ciudad Juarez, the little Mexi can town just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas. Every one was delighted with its picturesqueness, and in particular a maiden lady, who went into raptures about each new sight. "It is all so quaint," she said. "These adobe houses, the old church, the nar row streets, the little plaza, those dreadful-looking men wearing som breros; everything breathes the spir it of an old-world civilization. It is so different from our United States." "That's so," assented a New York man who had been listening. "For instance, where in all the world could you find anything so antique, so full of inherent beauty, so charged, as it were, with the essence of pure joy, as that sign over there." He pointed toward a whitewashed mud house on whose exterior was painted: "BIGGEST BEER IN TOWN, 5c." The woman eagerly turned to look. Then she froze the horrid man with a glance and did not speak to him again during the whole trip.

BANISHED Coffee Finally Had to Go. The way some persons cling to cof fee even after they know it is doing them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an easy matter to give it up for good, when Postum Food Coffee is properly made and used instead. A girl writes: "Mother had been suffering with nervous headaches for seven weary years, but kept drinking coffee. "One day I asked her why she did not give up coffee as a cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. But Mother was such a slave to coffee she thought it would be terrible to give it up. "Finally, one day, she made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning wiiiie she was drinking Posium so freely and with such relish I asked for a taste. "That started me on Postum and I now drink it more freely than I did coffee, which never comes into our house now. "A girl friend of mine, one day, saw me drinking Postum and asked if it was coffee. I told her it was Postum and gave Wer some to take home, but forgot to tyll her how to make it. "The next day she said she did not see how I could drink Postum. I found she had made it like ordinary coffee. So I told her how to make it right and gave her a cupful I made, after boiling it fifteen minutes. She said she never Srank any coffee that tasted as good, and now coffee is banished front both our homes." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Michigan.

For several weeks, little Ralph had enjoyed the use of a Shetland pony, the property of a horse dealer who was a friend of the family. But much to Ralph's sorrow, there came a day 1 recently when the pony was sold, aud the delightful horseback rides came to a sudden end. The purchaser, as Ralph found out by inquiry, was a little girl of about his own mature I age of five. Ever since his acquaint ance with the pony began, Ralph had included him in his bedtime prayer, and "God bless the pony," was an earnest nightly petition. The first evening after the sale of the pony, Ralph hesitated when he reached liis pet's place in the prayer. Then, after a moment's thought, lie continued: "Please, God, bless the pony just the same; but, God, don't you bless < the little girl what's got the pony." GENEALOGICAL.
