CONTEXT. Tho leading haunonlsta
ngrco thut many events following Imme
diately upon tho baptism of Jesus, nro
omitted by Mutt hew, but supplied by
John and Luko. It Is believed that Jesus
returned from tho wilderness to tho Jor
dan, received tho testimony of tho Bap
tist, calned llvo disciples John 1 1D-M),
visited Canaan, uttended the marriage
feast, went up to Jerusalem to tho Pass
over, cleaned tho templo (John 11 1-25),
held tho Interview with Nlcodcmus, mndo
a clrcut In Judcn to preach (John III, 22).
During this tlmo John tho Baptist
preached In Knon (John 111, 23-3G). Upon
the arrest of tho latter Jesus departed Into
Qalllce, holding an Interview on tho way
nt Jacob's well with a Samarltnn woman
(John lv, 1-42). Afterward lio visited
Nazareth and was rejected (l.uko lv, l(i
30), Matthew then resumes hW story
(verses 11 to 17), showing that after Ills
j ejection Jesus went to Capernaum,
whero Ho made His home. If th?so
, lews are correct tho lesson for the day
signifies vastly moro than It would with
this history omitted
OCCASION. We see now under what
circumstances Jcsii3 began His ministry.
"Prom that time," Ho began (verse 17),
that Is, after a long preparation. Tho
boyhood In Nazareth, tho episode In the
trniplo In His twelfth year (I.uka II, 22
SS), tho early manhood of eighteen enrs
of quiet as tho reputed son of Joseph ihn
carpenter, tho baptism In Jordan by tho
great Reformer, tho tour of observation
continued for several months through
Galilee and Judea, these wero parts of n
tystcm by which the Son of God camo tit
last Into readiness for His great works.
Thero wns no unseemly liabte. If tuno
nnd t-puco allowed, It would be easy to
show that all this constituted u progres
sive unfolding of tho matchless life, u
gradual advance to tho function of a
public teacher. Ho dated the beginning
of His ministry, or rather Matthew dated
It, from the establishment of a home In
Capernaum. There Ho preached, cnlllng
men to repent and announcing that tlm
kingdom of heaven was nt hand, the
very message delivered by John (Matt.
111. 2).
FISHi:UMEN.-tt appeals that the dis
ciples gained from John (John 1, 10), weio
not permanently attached to Jesus. It Is
probablo that when Ho visited His old
homo at Nuzarcth they returned to their
home and occupation. When Ho begun
to preach nt Capernaum they were not
with Ulm. But after a few days He went
to recall them. Walking by tho seaMUe
He saw Peter nnd Andrew, casting their
nets Into the sea (verse JS). These two
llshcrmon had been slightly associated
with Him, but were doubtless Ignorant of
His nature or mission. What n uuuvei
satlon tho brothers may have had In the
Interval of their separation from tho
Master, Andrew's woid to Simon (John
I. 41), indicates th.it ho had somo Mes
sianic expectations, and tliet.0 may navo
been freely dlstus&ed. Certain It Is that
their employment was favorable to re
flection and communion. While they sat
ty tho hour, leisurely waiting the fish
erman's fortune, they doubtless re fen id
to tho young man. whom for a little time
they had followed, wondeilng when He
would again appear.
TELEGRAPH BY TIILI'SCUIPTOU
Invention Enables n .linn in Clilcngo
to Typewrite in Now York.
A new Invention haw appeared In Ger
many which Is said to be the greatest
advance that has been made In years
In the science of telegraphy. By Its
means a man may sit at a typewiiter
In Chicago nnd wilto a message which
will be reproduced In typewriter man
uscript In New York, and that without
the aid of an operator at the receiving
end of Uie line.
The machine, which Is known as the
telescrlptor, has been exhibited lecent
ly In Berlin, where it .moused a great
deal of, Interest among electricians. Its
successful operation .seemn to have
solved the problem of a simple nnd
rapid apparatus for wilting at a dis
tance. Numerous tests have proved Its
success.
In Its general nppearance the tele
ecrlptor Is very much like a typewrit
er. Tho keyboard consists of four rows
of seven keys each, which print the
letters of the alphabet and the num
erals, and which call for the same kind
of skill as the ordinary typewiiter. Tho
machine is connected with the tele
graph or telephone In gome manner not
yet revealed, but without the use of n
special wire. The letters of the mes
sage are printed upon the familiar
narrow tape In clear type by the w rlter
using the Instrument, and the wonder
ful part of the Invention is the fact
that if a similar machine Is attached
to the receiving end of the telephone,
it Immediately prints the message sim
ultaneously with its composition on the
sender'a machine.
One of the most apparent advantages
this system offers, besides the accurate
reproduction of the messages to the
owner of a telephone who happens to
lie absent. As soon as the central tel
ephone office makes the connection the
machlnea begin to work and the re-
celver continues to grind out messages
t as long as they are sent.
Theoretically the machine is expect
ed to work perfectly at uny distance,
and for oillclals, Institutions, factories,
offices, newspapers and all places whero
a large number of telegrams are re
ceived, the machine is bound to bo a
great boon, as by means of It mes
sages can be sent directly Into the of
fice or homo for which they are des
tined. The rewriting of long dispatches

CAbLlNO. Tho volco of Jesus ns Ho
stood on tho shore, summoned them from
their pursuit (verse 10). It was a wo.d
of authority that Ho spoke, "Follow mo,"
calling them to bo disciples, In those
days a teacher gathered pupils about him
and led them from placo to place, deliv
ering Instruction by word of mouth. Tho
dlsclplo was expected, not only to learn
what mlsht bo said, but to study tho
character and spirit of tho teacher (Matt,
xl, 20), That Hind of n school was In
many respects pre'crnblo to our present
system In which ono Is confined to a room
nnd assigned tasks In a book. Tho educa
tion which relies chiefly upon tho per
sonality of tho tencher Is always supe
rior, for ho can Inspire nnd guldo to tho
best results. Jesus had a particular ob
ject In calling Peter and John to bo
learners. "1 will make you fishers -of
men," Ho said, employing a flguro of
speech with which they wero familiar.
Here Is a kind of seminary established
with two plain matriculates. Fishermen
arc to bo made ministers of Christ. Tho
courso will bo threo years. Not Gresk
and Hebrew, not systematic and pastoral
theology, not sacred rhetoric and church
history, but Jesus and Ills word will bo
tho currlculm. The men obeyed (verso
2U).
ADDITIONS. With great promptnesj
Peter and Andiew leaving their nets, ac
companied Jesus, as llo resumed His
walk along tho shore, Presently the
threo reached tho placo whero two other
fishermen wero employed, James and
John, tho sons of Zebedee. Vhey also
had been a short tlmo with tho Baptist
and had rollowed Jesus temporarily.
Now, llko dutiful sons, they weio with
their father, mending their nets, prepar
atory to going forth to sca (Verso 21).
Theso wero partners with Peter nnd An
drew (Luke v, 10), sharing thelt foi tunes
as members of the fishermen a guild To
them the Saviour spoko ns He had done
to the others, calling them from secular
ises to tho Holy olllce. And they Im
mediately left their father and tho nets
nnd obeyed (verse 22) Thus In a single
day Jesus had gathered to Himself by
His own word four of tho men whom He
afterward appointed apostles (Matt, x, 2).
Peter, Andrew, James and John three of
whom were admitted Into tho greatest
Intimacy (Matt. xll, 1), as representa
tives of threo distinct types oT Christ
ianity. It will bo noticed that while Pe
ter was third or fouith at tho first calling
(John I, 42), he Is hro named first, propi
ctle of his subsequent relations to the
college (Acts I, 13).
1TINHHAUY. After securing these
four disciples It Is believed that Jesus re
turned to Capernaum with them, whole
occuricd events omitted by Matthew but
lecoided bv another evangelist (Luko iv,
3.1-13). Going forth thence Ho entered
upon His second clicult In Galilee, Ills
trip to Nazareth being first. Nono of tho
sacred writers glvo any detailed accounts
of Ills joiuney, and no one can tell what
places He lslted, or how long He was
nbsent. We know, however, thu't He en
tered the .synagogues (verse 2.1). showing
that His labors were din tied exclusively
to tho Jewish people, to whom Ho nfter
ward claimed to have been sent (Matt.
:.v, 24). Hvety where He had a two-fold
mission. He preached the Gospel of the
kingdom, the good news lh.it a heavenly
orsphitual reign was to bo established In
the earth, that for which the nation had
hoped and waited o long (Acts I. (J).
Ho also wrought miracles, confined nt
this tlmo to the healing of disease. His
winds proved His wisdom, and Ills woiks
Ills xowei. He made no icfercnco to
Himself, preferring that tho peoplo should
Judge by what they heaul and saw who
He was.
Is also done away with by the tele
sciiptor, for newspaper coi respondents
and others having long messages to
send need only write them off on the
lelescrlptor, after getting connected
with the telegraph or telephone wire,
and their messages will go at once to
their objective point without being lead
by anybody.
At the test the two machines, which
were placed in different cornel s of a
room, wniked admliably.
The telesctlptor Is composed In prin
ciple of a typewriter furnished with
electric contact with each key, so that
Instantaneous cunents can be sent In
to u line when ea"h Is il
piessed. These cm rents actuate a
polamed electroiiipgnet. which con
tio's the e--carment of a clockwoik
nnnngement. On the axis of this
clockwork aie a biush that sweeps over
a fixed cut rent-distributor with twenty-eight
contacts and a type-wheel.
The latter Is a disk on whoso clrcum
feience uie engraved In relief the let
teis of the alphabet, the digits and
vailous signs. It has in all fifty-six
divisions, of which four aie for letter
spaces and four for llgure-spaces. A
little paper band, for iccelving the Im
pression, passes In front of tho type
wheel on a movable drum, which Is
placed nt the end of an oscillating
lever under contiol of a special elec
tromagnet. The telescrlptor can In the flist place
net like a simple typewriter. Suppose
two subsctlbers who have each a tele
scrlptor, The calling operator Hist
pi esses down tho two levers seen at
the left above the keyboard; tho other
operator presses down only the first
of the two levers. Tho two machines
begin to work at once by the aid of tho
Intel mlttent currents sent over the
lines, nnd the clock movements start.
The operators touches the keys exactly
as if he were writing on a typewriter,
and at the same time a series of letters
forming words are Impressed on the
strips of paper that toll both under his
own eves and under those of the re
ceiver of tho message. In the tele
scrlptor the same letter cannot bo
printed over Itself; a Blngle letter Is
printed at each impression. Besides,
the strip advnnces by a constant and
regulur amount every time that a let
ter is printed. The letters thus can
not be spaced too widely, nor can they
crowd upon one another.

ItEPUTATION. Tho groat teacher and
mlraclo worker soon becamo famous. His
namo wns quickly carried from placo to
place. It even passed the national bounds,
and, entering Syria on tho north, spread
far and wldo throughout that vast coun
try. This fact Is highly significant, as
showing what in coming tlmo would oc
cur among tho Gentiles (Isa, xlll, 6). It
Is plain, however, that a largo part of
the Interest awakened In Him was duo
to tho displays of His power. Evidently
the people cared moro for His deeds than
His words, for they brought to Him from
all directions thoso that wero diseased
and tormented (verso 21). Suffering Im
munity in nil distressing forms, tloso
that wero possessed of devils, thoso that
wero lunatic, thoso that had tho palsy,
werq laid beroro mm. 'ino oriental
world has nlwoys presented deplorable
pictures of degradation, most loathsomo
to tho western traveler. All this was
spread out beforo tho eyes of Jesus, and
His great heart beheld with pity. What
might have been expected, tho text says,
"He healed them." What Is this but nn
object lesson showing what tho world
needs to do? Jesus Is tho great Physician.
His reputation has gone to tho ends of
tho earth.
FOLLOWING. We nro now to plctufo
to our minds a sceno of unparalleled pop
ular enthusiasm. As Jesus continued on
His circuit, picachlng and healing, a vast
concourse of peoplo followed (verso 23).
Ihoy camo from Galilee, tho most north
ern portion of the land, from Dccapolls
which lay on tho east sldo of L-iko Gen
neshret. from Judea the southern section
of tho Holy Land, from tho region beyond
Jordan, nnd what was specially Impor
tant, from Jeiusnlem, tho seat of tho
Jewish scholats and hierarchy. Wo have
seen many thousands assembled to sco
and hear some notable man who had
great causo to present but in this instance
tho throng Journeyed with Jesus, from
city to city, along the highways, and
crowded about Him vvheiever Ho passed.
Many of these wero doubtless anxious to
know who this wonderful Person wns,
willing to espousa His cause, so soon as
they might understand Him. But by far
tho greater part wero cuilous, whoso mo
tives Jesus explains In nnother placo
(John vi, 21). And among tho crowd wero
some of the priests, the bigoted, scowling,
mercenary agents of the Sanhedrln, who,
with Jealous eyes, watched the wonderful
Christ, seeking how they might ensnare
Htm.
SL'MMAitY. Such was the beginning of
tho ministry of Jesus In Galilee. Preceded
by letlrement which mado Him famtt'ar
with tho ordinary life of home, by nn In
troduction which secured tho support of
good men, by a struggle with Satan which
resulted In victory, by an Inspection of
tho country which revealed Its needs, Ho
selected the northern metropolis of Caper
naum as tho center and humble llsher
men ns companions, thus breaking away
from all entanglements with Jerusalem
doctors and dignitaries. He went lorth
to tho common people and preached, not
philosophy, but tho Gospel. With com
passion for their suffering llo ministered
to their bodies. And In a short time He
had calned ths ears of thousands who
gathered about His way. Hero Is Dlvlno
strategy. By this method .lesus stood on
Ills own merit ami rested His claim upon
tho sober seno of the masses nsklng no
alliance with tho rich or grent, but receiv
ing what was of incalculable value the
recognition of the poor and ncedv. Tho
method of Jesus should be adopted by all
who seek to win a placo in the heart of
humanity. Ho who has something to glvo
to man need not fear that men will ro
fuso him a hearing or a support.
The change of the receiving type
wiiter Into a transmitter Is veiv eas
ily accomplished. All that is necessary
is to give a special signal at the end
of the communication. The flrst opei
ator raises his second lever while tho
other depi esses his, and thus the trnnt
mlttlng instrument becomes, a lecelv
er, and the lecelver a tiansrr.ltter.
The device can then be wmkej like a
simple telegraph; If It Is left ns a le
celver, a man finds on returning from
an absence the dlffeient messages
that have been sent printed on the
strip. It should be added that the ma
chine can write about 120 letteis a
minute. The telescrlptor can ulso be
combined with the telephone; th'j same
wile can serve for both, nnd niuv bo
used for either telephone or tulesci tu
tor by means of a slmplo switch.
The telenet imm seunu Iltted to len
der great seivlre to industry, because
it leaves u crimed record of commu
n!ealons. Thi t(inuhcne Is very i fit
ful and renders Innumerable t-crvlecv.
but If, for example, it Is necessary to
'cnl an ordet involving precls and
exact measufcmcnt", or If correotlors
are to be snt to the printers- nn 1 a
whole seiios nf similar rases may be le
clted the telephone may be the cause
of errors. The telescrlptor gives ex
act Indications In typewritten manu
scripts, for they are controlled by the
very person who elves them.
POWEUrm. MAGNETS.
Used to Move Heavy Mntnl Bcnms.
Simple .Miuiner ol Application.
I'.Iectromagnets capable of picking
up a load not exceeding live tons are
now used by the Illinois Steel company
to transfer iron or steel beams or plates
from one part of the shop to tho oth
er The amount of electricity neces
sary to glvo a magnet enough drawing
power to niako a five-ton load adhere
to it Is only four amperes at a pressure
of 240 volts (equal to ono and three
tenths horse-power), or about one
tenth the power required to move an
ordinary trolley oar on the level. Tho
magnets used are in the form of tho
old-fashioned horseshoe. Tho poles "of
the horssshoo aro seven and one-half
inches apart, and are connected at tho
upper end by a soft steel plate ono
Inch in thickness. The poles them
selves aro each 10 Inches lone and aro
elliptical in cross section, 1elngr 21
Inches In depth and three inches in
width. The upper seven and one-half
inches nf each polo are covered with
colls of insulated copper wire to a
depth of one and one-half inches.
The working of th'e magnet is sim
ple. When a plate or beam is lying
anywhere else than where it is wanted,
the magnet attached to tho crane tac
kle in place of the. ordinary sling or
hook, Is lowered, nnd its poles placed
on the load to he moved, as near tho
center as practicable. Then tho cur
rent is turned on and tho underlying
plato or beam Is held fast by the mag
netic attraction.
Th'e crano Is then put into motion in
tho usual manner, and the beam is
tiansferred to the spot whero it is
wanted and the current switched off.
Tho only reason why such magnets
have not been long In use is because
of tho fear that the load would drop
if there was any temporary failing of
tho current. This is always possible,
though' it is becoming less so every
day with tho improvements in electri
cal apparatus.
To guurd against accidents the insu-
la ted colls of tho magnet are enclosed
in water tight brass casing, and tho
wholo magnet is covered with one-half
inch steel.
It these five-ton electromagnets
provo a bucccps after long usage, larger
sizes will bo employed. When used in
connection with electric cranes only
two hand switches will bo requlrd to
move Iron or steel loads. Of course
loads of other materials could bo pick
ed up equally well by an electromag
net, with a heavy keeper and. hook at
tached to it for tho ordinary sling1.
Scientific and Mining Press. Q
WHAT IS TIUPIiE EXTUACT?
l'roccis lir Which tho Odor ol riowors
Is Obtained.
Flowers that arc to be used in tho
manufacture of perfumes, are nlways
gathered at night-fall, or quite early
in tho morning when tho dew da upon
them. Before they are gathered, how
ever, receptacles arc prepared for them
in the shape of largo frnmcs.over which
are stretched cotton cloths well satu
rated with ollvo oil or almond oil. Tho
cut flowers are brought in, nnd are
thickly spread on n frame; then an
other frame is iltted over it, and that,
in turn. Is well spread with flowers;
then a third frame Is Iltted over the
second spread of (lowers, and thus the
work goes on, until a hugo pile of
flowers is prepared.
This flower-heap Is left for two days;
at the end of which tlmo the flowers
are removed from the frames and re
placed by fresh ones. The frames nro
fllled and emptied every two days un
til two weeks have passed. Then the
cloths are detached from tho frames
and placed under great pressure, and
all the oil is pressed out of them. The
oil thus obtained is heavily charged
with tho fragrance of the flowers, and
It Is mixed with double Its weight of
very pure rectified spirit and put in a
vessel called a "digester," which Is
simply a porcelain, or block-tin, kettle
that fits in another kettle. When in
use, tho outer vessel is fllled with
boiling water.
In this vessel the mixture of oil
and spirits "digests" for threo or four
days; then, after having cooled, the
spirit is decanted Into nnother vessel,
holding the same quantity of fragrant
oil, and the digesting process Is re
peated. After being thus digested
threo times, the spit It Is found to
have taken up enough of the perfume
and it is then decanted from the oil
for tho third and last tlmo through a
tube, one end of which is fllled with
cotton weel to serve as a filter. The
fluid thus prepared is called "triple
extract."
WHO Till: TAM. MAN WAS.
A tall man In black clothes of no par
ticular stylo entered a Broadway Jewelry
shop tho other dav and asked to see r
watch, says tho New York Sun. Tho
clerk, sizing hlm up for a poor country
parson, who ho would be well lid of, pro
duced a $200 tlmepleeo ns a discourager.
The stranger looked It over and asked to
see something better. Winking to the
cashier, the clerk i cached for a specially
made chronometer, tho price of which ho
felt would be a squelcher. Tho seedy man
examined the watch and Inquired Its
value.
"Ah," observed the customer. "Let mo
see a chain, please."
An expensive chain was produced, and
then the visitor selected a valuable charm
Which had been made for exhibition only.
Tho stranger stuck the Jewelry Into his
vest pocket, and the cleik, fe.uing that
ho might have entertained n thief, kept
close to tho suspect, who quietly ilshed
out a big roll of bills, and placed two
$1,000 gold certificates upon the counter.
Ftterly phased, the salesman remarked
that it was customary to keep the nanvs
of customers to ldentifv goods If lost by
purchasers.
"My names is Jones," said tho Mran"";
"Senator Jones, of Nevada. Vou may ad

senator, taking tho change for his gold
certificates, depart"d.
